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

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1924 volume:

GREETINGS That another school year is about to end seems al- most impossible; yet, since the Kyote Annual editor has just given me his command to write my greetings, 1 know that Commencement must be very near. The class of 1024 is about to leave old B. H. S. In spite of the fact that my course in the school has been five years, instead of four, I am proud to finish with these Seniors, for their class is a glorious one. I feel, however, that they only reflect the spirit of the whole school, of the three other wonderful classes, of this past year, so filled with accomplishments; so satisfying in results. So my greetings must partake of the nature of a fare- well, and while my heart seems to stop for a moment when 1 think of severing direct connection with my thousand boys and girls and m loyal faculty, nevertheless I am proud to leave such a school—a school which will continue to grow and prosper; for it has for its foundation the hearts and minds of the finest group of young people in the world. M. C. Dietrich. To Coulson 1880 hrough the dust of these advancing ycars, Through the shadows of western lore, 4 vision of virile life appears, Of a town that is no more. THE KYOTE Published by Journalism Class of 1924 Bitting Dedication To that romantic figure of western life, the Cowboy, who played a large part in the opening of the West, and who made possible its subsequent development, we dedicate this 1924 Kyote Annual. 5 CONTENTS THKSCHOOL— Scenic Section Faculty Classes— Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Alumni SCHOOL LIFE— Athletics— Football Girl's Basketball Basketball 1 RACK Intra mural League Music and Drama Organizations Almanac Western Story Section Advertising THE SCHOOL In the following pages will he found views in and around Billings. This section could not be complete withcjut a picture or symbol of the Old West. T he first picture is typ- ical of the true cowboy. Following this comes a series of views of our high school building, beautiful scenes reproducing the great mountains and leaping streams of the Beartooth Range, and a thoroughfare of the City of Billings. 9 11 13 14 15 To the Faculty The members of the B. H. S. faculty have given us friendly counsel, help, and encouragement throughout our entire four years of high school life. Realizing all that they have done for us, wc take this opportunity of expressing our grat- itude to them. FACULTY Ward H. Nye The Billinas educational system enjoys the distinction of being one of the most perfect in the state of Montana. Where one finds a beautiful, strong piece of achi tectu re, one usually finds some great architect who has wrought the thing of beauty. To Mr. Ward H. Nye goe the credit of being the architect behind the Billings public school system. It is the result of years of hard work and untiring effort. Mr. Nye has served Billings as Superintendent of Schools well and faithfully for many years; he has served, and is serving at present on the state textbook commission and is also a member of the State Educational committee. He is leaving us this year, and in our humble way, we, the class of 1924, thank him for his kindly efforts in our behalf and wish him God speed and success wherever he goes. 18 FACULTY M. C.

Mr. Steadman has been the head of the Com- mercial Department and the school is losing a valuable teacher and the student’s a sympathetic friend. The whole school joins in wishing him good luck and success. 19 THE KYOTE 1924 M. C. Dietrich Farewell to Mr. Dietrich It is with regret that we, the class of 24, face the stern reality that this is Mr. Dietrich's last year in B. H. S. Inasmuch as he has guided our class through four successful years, we could wish the underclassmen no better fortune than to have his leadership throughout their high school careers. We regard Mr. Dietrich, not only as an efficient executive, but also as a true friend who has always had the interests of all the students at heart. Now his field of activity is to be widened and we are glad that all of the students of Billings will have the privilege of being under his excellent leadership. At the same time, realizing that it will be a difficult task to find another man who will possess as winning a personality, coupled with real capability, as has Mr. Dietrich,—it is with deep regret that we bid him farewell. 20 SENIORS Sweetman Bergherm Middleton. (Advisor) O’Malley O’Harra SENIOR CLASS Laurence Sweetman, President Catherine Bergherm, Vice-President Jack O’Harra, Secretary Ruth O’Malley, Treasurer Miss Edna Mae Middleton. Class Advisor Colors, Blue and Cold Motto, To be. rather than to seem. Flower, Ophelia Rose At last, the end of the journey, and that pinnacle of fame, a senior of B. H. S.! The four years have sped by in an incredibly short time. In this period these seniors have accomplished many things. The school debate team has always had two or more of its members from this class. Their Junior and Senior plays, “Peg O’ My Heart.” and “Daddy Long Legs.” were of the best ever produced. Eight of the members played on the championship football team of 1923. Three members played on the basketball team. The girls won the Basketball Championship for two years. This class of ’24 has always been the first to give its support to the best things in school. The seniors extend their best wishes to the class of ’25—may they rule well and wisely! 22 THE __IE- KYO TE-1 9 24- CARL AGGERS Doc” '7 ifo in (he roll of common men.

SOPHOMORES „ 'y yfT' THE KYOTE-1924 Smith Chappie Moore Reid SOPHOMORE CLASS Russell Smith, President Jane Chappie, Pice-President Mildred Moore, Secretary Pearl Reid, Treasurer When the class of ’26 entered B. H. S., it broke all previous enrollment records for it was the largest Freshman class known to the history of the school. After completing the first year with this distinction, the class embarked upon a new year as Sophomores. It began the year s activities with a peppy class meeting at which class colors and a class motto were selected. The colors chosen were maize and blue, and the motto was Deeds, Not Words.” The annual class party held on April 20 was a decided success. The class presented before the assembly a very clever program in the form of a mock faculty meeting. Adamson, G. Beckett, C. Cady, B. Cline, D. Adolph, M. Bergherm, C. Cahil, C. Collier, E. Ager, H.

ALUMNI CLASS HISTORY 1923 N«m, I say unto yc, tribe of Hillings, here assembled in this temple of Knowledge, that there is recorded in these 20th and 23rd chapters of the book of Discords, the sufferings and tribulations of this chosen band known as the Senior Class. It is written in the first chapter that in the year of our Lord 1920 there was a great invasion of hostile barbarians into this realm of learning from that remote region known as the Eighth Grade, and even from the rustic and verdant highways of the countryside, came they swarming in. And they took upon themselves leaders, that they might not fall from the ways of the just; and these leaders were Pearl of the house of Linnabarv, and V irginia, second daughter of William of the house of George, and Richard of the Chappie tribe, his father a compounder of herbs; and Sybil, only daughter of the house of Saver. And lo, in the same year came a new Pharoah to rule over these many races, and he was known as Marion C. Dietrich. And there was much rejoicing, and he proved to be a mighty ruler. And the fame of the doings of these people spread abroad, and many there were who sought entrance, until it was necessary to increase the size of the kingdom; and a new edifice was budded. And it came to be known as thc (,ymnas,um; and cvcn to t,lis day strange are the ceremonies performed therein. And, behold, the races called themselves together, in order to celebrate their carh festival, known to all as Roughneck Day. And their festivities were prolonged and warlike; and the Pharoah and all his wise men were sorely distressed. And he said unto them: “Are ye not come unto this realm of learning to learn; and wherefore do e depart from the ways thereof?” And so it came to pass that the old festivity was no more, and a new and more glorious one took its place, and it is know n as the Country hair. And so endeth the twentieth chapter. CHAPTER XXI And the tribe, because of their merits and adoration of the tree of learning, came to hr known as the Sophomores. And new leaders were chosen, that the tribe might pluck more industriously of the fruits of Knowledge. And lo, the harvest was great. And the leaders were Larry, of the house of Sweet man, and Virgil, only son of the house ot Carpenter; and Harriet, seventeenth daughter of the Brockway tribe And .t came to pass that a great festival was held. And the tribe did make merry m this, their rirst celebration. And the fruits of victory were sweet. CHAPTER XXII And the tribe foresouk the wajs of the learned and turned to the paths of merri- ment. and so they were called Juniors; and in the beginning they did give unto their predecessors, the Seniors, a great celebration, and it was proclaimed the greatest mas- querade of its time. And the people cried among themselves, “Let us have a great feast. And so it was that on the seventh and twentieth day of the month of May. at the Commercial Club, a very great feast was held; and they did eat riotously of the tatted calf Now in that same year a great many took unto themselves a new god, and they called him Dramatics. And with their high priestess they did worship every «light and their ceremony they did call a play, and it was known among all as the Professor s Love Storv. 64 THE KYGTE-1924 The leaders chosen to guide this mightv hand were Larry of the house of Sweet- man. who. because of his merits, was again chosen, and he became a great runner, and even famed for his courtesy. Eduard, of the house of Mullowney, and Mamie, the second daughter of the house of Linnabary; and Jeffery, the only son of the house of Kiichli. So endeth the two and twentieth chapter of this all glorious history. CHAPTER XXIII Yea, verily now had this tribe become so great in wisdom and understanding that the called themselves the Seniors. And the prowess of this tribe in this, their last year in this temple of learning, was great, for they were tinder the guidance of Dick of the Chappie tribe, and Margaret, first daughter of the house of Jackson, and Lu- ci le, only descendant of the Corbly house, and Robert of the Nofsingers. For years hath the class of three and twenty sojourned in the land and gathered in large portions the fruits from the 1 rec of Knowledge. Rut it is written: “In the day when ye shall have eaten of all these fruits e shall surely be driven forth from the land!” Now, I say unto you, they must depart, thence to go each a separate way to lands they know not of; to do. they know not what. But let us not he weary in well-doing, for in due s?ason we shall reap if we fail not. And now, may the blessings that ever attend the noble and good and true, follow and abide with us. each and all, now and forever more. Amen. Dorothy Aldrich, 23. Harriet Brock way, 23. SALUTATORY ADDRESS THE STREAM OK LIFE.” Friends, you who have lived longer than we have, what does life mean to you, I wonder, as you watch us take leave of the school life we have reveled in for so many years? In extending to you our most sincere and heart) welcome, I should like to give you a picture of life as it now presents itself to me. Far up in the mountains a tiny stream—the stream of life, which has its rise at the cradle and its end at the grave, begins trickling very slowly and feebly over the ground. The tributaries of the stream of life are of four types: Physical, mental, moral, and spiritual. It is impossible for it to avoid all of its poisonous tributaries hut as it wends its way over the hard, rock) earth it unconsciously cleanses itself of some of the impurities. The journey over the hard, rocky ground is not continuous, however, for soon it seeks the soft, swampy soil and again picks up the impurities that are so undesirable. This little stream makes many such mistakes which it never can go back to correct hut nevertheless it becomes broader through the experiences. As the stream grows wider and it gets closer to the larger stream of life of urhich it is to become a part, its influence in the larger stream will depend upon the influence it has received from its tributaries. We feel that the tributaries which we have received into our streams of life during our career of four years in Billings High School have been of the best and tonight we haw reached the point where wre join the larger stream of which you are already a part. Therefore, my friends, is it not we who should he given the glad hand of wel- come? Is it not we who are the newcomers? We who are joining you in the larger stream of life. Our only desire is that we may help to make it clear and pure and deep and strong to turn the great wheels of the world’s machinery and to make the world better and happier for our having joined the great stream. Beulah L. McMullen, '23 65 THE KYOTE-1924 VALEDICTORY Perhaps all of us have stopped a minute, anyway, to realize the fact that, no douht, this is the last time this class will ever he together. Altho all of us have not openly admitted that we are sorry that this is the last time, we have—every one of us—thought of it and each one has regretted it. We realize we are ending a very happy period of our lives to-night. We are richer in many ways than we were four years ago. For one thing we are richer in memories. We will have a curious collection of memories from this period of outlives. Many people will become acquainted with “Steady” and his fatherly ways and “M. C. D. with his winning personality. Others will share our pleasure as we recall certain school activities and pranks. However, if we were richer in memories alone and we wanted to be independent we would find it rather difficult to exist on them, as the ideal of modern education is to cultivate us not only along classical lines, but also along practical ones. The question that confronts us is: What are we going to do with ourselves and our education? We realize that in our country there is a splendid chance for all of us to climb the ladder of success—or to climb at it—that our class is second to none. At the same time our logical thinking tells us that in every class that graduates this spring there cannot be a President of the L nited States. We are all going to have to do many common place things as we climb; it matters not who we are or the place we fill, but how we do our work, or as our motto puts it—“Not Who, Hut What. Think of life as an orchestra. Each of us has his part or instrument to play. The result of a good orchestra is harmony. No matter how minor the instrument it either brings about that harmony or ruins it. Let us then go on with this thought. Don’t be the tin horn in the orchestra of life. Dorothy Hampton, ’23 ADVICE TO UNDER CLASSMATES “Advice to Under Classmen was given by Margaret Jackson, who entered the dimly-lighted stage, dressed as a 'Turk, and seated herself on the floor near a pot of burning incense; she gazed into the clouds of smoke and, lo, she could see that: Nina Drinen was asking Mary Fox how she obtained her height, and Mary told her: “When I was a baby 1 was very popular. My father and mother were jealous over me, and one day they quarreled over me. Father grabbed me by the arms and mother by the feet - both pulled until 1 gave out; hence I obtained my height. Hub Davies had invited Billy Spurgin to spend a week in the mountains. “But, Hub, Billy protested, “I’m afraid your parents won’t want me. “Oh, yes, replied Hub, “they’ll be delighted to have you—I’ve argued a month with them. Ivan Caraway is so afraid he’s growing too fast; but Ivan need not worry. He’ll never grow up to his ears. Bonita Cady should certainly become an artist. Even though she hasn’t prac- ticed as much as most girls with cosmetics, I see she’ll be a success. Charles Bergherm, you are wondering whether you should rush several girls or give all your affections to one. I advise you to consult Dick Chappie; he’s up on the woman subject. George Breck longs to become a noted dancer. 'Fake lessons from Fae Brock way, George, and you’ll become a professional over night. Jim Morrison longs to become the teachers’ pet. Pattern after Lee Mains, Jim. Bill Deegan, I see you are striving to win the attention of Myra Matthews. Now there is only one way in which you can accomplish this—just be your own sweet self. Marjory, Marjory Chappie—you are wanting to reduce. Just join Geneva Keller in her morning walks and you may obtain your desire. Ah me, the smoke is dying down; the fire is low—now out— Good-night. 66 T rfr HE RYGTB-1924 TOMAHAWK TALK As spokesman for the trihe of '23, 1 bequeath to you, the braves of 24 this Tomahawk, It is not an inanimate thing of wood and steel, hut a symbol of our ac- complishments during the four years of our journeying across these Montana plains. Sharing in its ownership are warriors and maidens of every type known. Into it has gone the joy of conquest, disappointments to be overcome, labor to he insisted upon and lessons to he sought after in the long silent night watches. Into it has gone, the development of personality. The shy youths and maidens who swore allegiance to its power four years ago are now the warlike champions of its fame. They are ready to do or die for its honor. Into it has gone the sense of unity. From the solitary forests and the mysterious prairies, at the Tomahawk's call we come to reverence its meaning.' It is our tribe of 1923, “United we stand, divided we fall.” We are passing this into good hands; that we know, for already the braves and maidens of the tribe of '24 have proved their prowess. Keep the blade bright and untarnished; it means the best in our high school life and will ever he an inspiration as we seek new worlds to conquer in our quest for honor, fame, and glory. Oliver Malm, '23 RESPONSE TO PRESENTATION OF TOMAHAWK From the sunshine of the meadow, and the shadow of the forest, from the rain shower, and the snow storm, we the tribe of 1924, cc me to accept the Tomahawk from you, our well wishers and our brothers. We recognize the longings, yearnings, strivings that have gone to make this a symbol of your prowess. No great good can come without great effort and we know thru all green and silent valleys, past all melancholy marshes, in the curling smoke of wigwams, and on the fateful ground of battle, this Tomahawk has been your in- spiration. We have seen chief Chappie ride at the head of the column, have seen the braves of '23, rush into the fray holding the orange and black high, have heard the war cry of victory, and have bowed low before the returning braves and their maidens. We accept this token humbly, he ours to hold it high! Your flaming torch aloft we hear. With burning heart and oath we swear to keep the faith, to fight it through, to crush the foe, to he as good as you in Billings School. • 67 Gerald Williams, '24 Bill m s High Sch ool Creed I BELIEVE that I should Ik loyal to B.

The daily routine of the range necessarily demands knowledge of these sports and it is through this training that they attain perfection along these lines. ATHLETICS Fred T. Davus, Coach COACH DAYLIS Billings High School first welcomed Coach Fred T. Daylis in the tall of 1922. Mr, Daylis came direct to us from the University of Montana, where he had won an enviable reputation, not only in athletics but in the hearts of his fellow students as well. Football, under his splendid coaching and into which he put all his spirit and knowledge of the game, took on its old time “best team in the state’ aspect. In his first season in B. H. S., Daylis turned out a football team which was a credit to B. H. S. in every way. It was at this time that he laid foundations for his next year’s championship team. The fall of 1923 saw him back again, calling for men to come out and help make a championship team. From his 1922 squad he had lost only three regulars. The school responded nobly. He had said: “Give me the men and school spirit behind these men, and in return 1 will give you a championship team.” Coach Daylis made good his word to the last letter, for Billings High School won the undisputed title of state champions of Montana. To Coach Daylis, truly Billings High School owes a great deal. He came to us in a period when we needed him; he served us. fought for us, and brought us back our old-time renown in the athletic world. 72 THE KYOTE 1924 Daylis (Coach) Kobelin Blair Phythian Towne (Capt.)

A inure enviable record has not been made for Billings High in years. Thirteen letter men were back in school September, 1923. Enthusiasm ran strong among boosters, faculty, players and students. Everyone was determined that Billings should win the State Championship. The Black and Orange men began an uphill climb to the supremacy in Mon- tana’s football world. Coach Daylis, realizing the truth of the old adage: “A chain is only as strong as its weakest link,” strengthened daily his players until the team was competent enough in every department of play to win the state title. Though injuries were frequent, players were plentiful and willing. The coach was dtermined, eager and tireless. Many hours were spent perfecting a team which would fight continuously with the purpose in mind to win, regardless of personal glory and in a gentlemanly, sportsmanlike manner.

CLAYTON TOWNE. Captain. Fullback, All-State Captain. Towne began hi football career In Billing High school a guard in 1921. He was given the i-osltion a tackle In 1922. and he was elected captain for 192S. HI last year in Billings High school is a filling climax to hi untiring effort to serve the high school, in the estimate of Mr. Scott, director of athlet- ics. Montana School of Mines, Towne was the !,� • ut fullback and leader he had seen In many year . STUART BEEMAN. Right Tackle, Third All-State. For the last two years the smash, drive and fight of Black and Orange linemen centered around ‘'Stew.” In the Great Fall contest he wa badly Injured. This took the drive from him in the two remaining games. Mr, Scott, after the game In Butte with Anaconda said, “I believe Bee man ha more drive, more de- termination and fight than I’ve seen on the Held In years.” (Continued on Page 75) 73 ...MOltTMA ' SWB CURMP? tM cJk THE KYO ----------------- LARRY SWEETMAN, Right Half, Third All.State. I arry played guard on the Billings team In 15)20 when Anaconda pave us the trouncing for the state championship It was very fit- ting, therefore, that he should he on the team that took the laurels from Anaconda in Butte Thanksgiving day. The Butte sport writers estimated Bweetman the fastest halfback In this territory. CHARLES PHYTHIAN. Left Halfback, Second All.State. Chuck also played on the 1 J 2 Billings team that was beaten by Anaconda and he too, was a member of the team that gave Anaconda her defeat this fall for the state championship. He was left half for three consecutive years. Mr, Scott. Spaulding's representative, said. Phythian Is the most consistent halfback in Montana. JACK O'HARRA, Left Tackle. Jack also served on the 15 2ft Billings team as substitute guard He filled regular guard ttositfon in 15 21. His last two years were at left tackle. O'Harm was a real fighter and a terror to quarterbacks. His weight, strength and speed were a hard combination to over- come. HUBERT DAVIES, Right End, All.State. In 1921 “Huh' held down an end position. He was shifted to half back in 15 22. The change was not up to expectations, so in 15 22 We find him again on end lb- was an . . tional interference runner. He also could sirt through interference and get difficult tackles. Mr. Scott at Butte said that Davies played the game the way he thought It should be played. MABON CORNWELL. Left End. Mahon was somewhat hampered by grades last fail. But when one starts football talk around him. look out. For two years he has b� en at end. Always the most obstinate man for interference runners to flown; seldom if ever did end runs circle him. Next year Mahon should lead the team. JOE ROONEY, Center, Third All-State. This was Joe’s first year, but many of the most experienced men could take Instructions from him on fight He had more pure, un- adulterated grit than one finds in men. The latter part of the season he was Injured: nev- ertheless after the Thanksgiving game, sport writers of various newspapers accredited him as of All-State caliber. GEORGE CRUSE. Left End. Tink played end for two years with us. He won the admiration of the fans by his clever defensive work and effective tackling. George is proud of the fact that he has never played In a losing game. According to reports he has played in California on a championship team and he had a repetition of the same ex- perience in Montana. FORREST PETERS, Quarterback, All-State. In Frosty, Billings High had tin- best all ’round athlete In the state. On the gridiron he was the most dangerous man to be found, always threatening kick, run. or pans. A more elusive runner has not been produced in years Mr. Scott said, He was unanimously chosen ns the best quarterback in Montana. TE - 1 CARL BLAIR, Fullback. A general utility man was Blair. Always ready and anxious to get In the mill.’ lie could play any position equally well: however, he was used In the hackfield as a rule. At Great Falls, Miles City and Butte. Blair played fullback. The sport writers of the mining district wrote. He backed up the line and carried the ball to perfection, ODD WINTHER, Left Guard. Second All-State. This was Odd's first year at football. He was a go-getter, learned fast and didn't easily forget his duty. He was a steady, consistent player, never flashy hut always on the job. Thanksgiving day his playing was without fault. Mr. Scott spoke admiringly of the w ay he played. MARION HEFFRIN, Right Guard. Il Is traditional in Billings High that Wor- den produces excellent men for football. Marion Is proud of his home town If it Is small We are proud of having him on our team. Although inexperienced in football, he possessed weight, speed and determination to face any obstacle. His good playing in the championship game held everyone's attention. JAY HOLLY, Quar'.er Back. Jay was the hardest hitting little man to wear a Hillings uniform. He has been used successfully in many and varied positions. He can be depended upon to help out in any con- dition that rises at the critical time. He will be back again next fall and some excellent playing should result. Robert McFarland, Left Tackle. A real fighter Is Bob. A chip � ff the scrappy Palmer block. He was always in the heart of the mix up, hitting, blocking, charging and tackling viciously. Early In the season his hip was Injured. This slowed up his game somewhat. However, you can always depend upon Bob. GERALD WILLIAMS, Left Halfback. One of the fastest little halfbacks in this section of the state was he. His knee was se- verely wrenched at Bozeman early in the sea- son. This necessitated his resting until the last games of the season. At ftfflofl city and Butt -, Jug contributed the necessary punch at the right time. LEE MAINS. Right Guard. Dee has been with u three years. In 1921 he was a substitute guard and the last two years regular guard. Never did he play a spectacular game, but was always on the job. He has recovered more blocked punts than any other man in the line. Lee had an injured knee which undoubtedly prevented his getting on the All-State team. ELLIOT KOBELIN. Left Halfback. Crackers was discovered in the Lewiston game last fall. He had been used on an end position. When the necessary conditions arose in this game he was sent in to try half. He proved that his speed, judgment and fight had been underestimated. He attracted attention wherever he played. 75 Hopkins Hlec Barthule Foote Footit Chamberlain Muir Peterson Nelson P.

He soon overcame this obstacle, however, for material was abundant, and the fellows were eager to learn the game. In a few weeks’ time a team was rounded into a well- balanced combination. Next year Lewis, Cornwell, Bergherm and Linville should form the nucleus of a winning team. The Black and Orange men were defeated only three times during the season. We placed first in Yellowstone district tournament. In the State tourney, Butte, who won the state championship, was the only team to defeat us, and the result of that game was undecided until the final gun.

He was unable to play the first part of the season In 1923. became of injuries received in football, but recovered and finished the season. He was elected captain this year, leading his team in a courageous manner. He set an excellent example of sportsmanship, gentlemanly con- duct and aggressiveness. CHARLES PHYTHIAN, Guard. “Chuck began his basketball career as guard in 1922. He was changed to center In 1923 and back to guard in 1921. He pos- sessed very good Judgment in analysis of the opponent's plays. At the state tourney. Coach Romney complimented his good play- ing. He was picked on the “Exponent” All- State team ami mentioned for the Bob Cat Sportsmanship medal. CARL BLAIR. Guard. Development from an inexperienced player to a steady dependable one marked the ad- vances of Blair for one season. His best playing was during the district tournament. Another year would find him among the best guards of the state. He had a way of taking forwards out of the play that always attracted attention. HAROLD WALKER, Center. Halle '1 played guard on the 1923 team. He was shifted to center this year. He was a hard working center at all times; and was willing to start team work, always playing steadily and he was always on the job. His best playing came near the end of the sea- son. Were he back next year Billings High would have a center hard to beat. Mahon began as forward three years ago. He always played steadily, accurately, win- ning the respect of his opponents and the whole-hearted support of the spectators. At Bozeman when playing In the state tourney he received special comment upon his play- ing in the “Exponent” college publication. JOHN LEWIS, Forward. Playing his initial season on the Black and Orange team. “Johnny made an enviable reputation due to hard work and consistent team work. He was the smallest fellow to hold a position on a high school team of first rating. He possessed a fair knowledge of general technique in basketball, learned rapidly through experience and careful coaching. He developed Into a reliable nervy little player at the season's close. CHARLES BERGHERM, Center. Charles is a tall, well built fellow, excep- tionally interested in learning basketball. This he did in a very commendable manner, under careful coaching At various times, especially during the district tournament his playing was especially valuable to the team in winning our games. His limits as yet are unbounded; being a sophomore, he has a chance to rise to dis- tinction in Montana basketball circles. T)t-Wayne Linville, D. Josephson. J. Joseph- son, M. Hatfeldt. L. Horbst composed the re- mainder of the squad. They should be given equal credit for the share they contributed toward building up a good team. Because of Inexperience and lack of weight they failed to earn their letters. Next year, with their added experience, W’e hope to see them winning letters. 79 RYOTE Schuster Von Eschen Brown Berman Caraway Toole Bergin W illiams Sloate Carpenter Mike Reynolds Coach Daylis TRACK At the beginning the track team consisted of 25 men, most of whom were in- experienced. They have developed into good prospects this year. Gradually the team was cut down to the best men which numbered about twelve. The B. H. S. team took the meet at Big Timber, eleven taking part in the events. 'This is the third district meet which Billings has won. This year’s team at Big Timber consisted of Williams, captain; Bergin, Von Eschen, O’Harra, Toole, Carpenter, Schuster, E. Beeman, and Caraway. Bilings won the relay at Big 'l imber, but did not contest in this event at Mis- soula. They placed tenth in the State meet. No State records were broken by the Bilings men this year. Williams and Bergin, represented Billings at Missoula this year. 80 Walker Smith Crawford Campbell Griffin Decgan Curtis Simmons Von Eschen Given Robbins I eone Porter G.

The league was managed this year by Junior Drake and Bud Worthington. No partiality was shown by either, toward any team. ' The league was divided into two classes, A and B. 1 he A class contained boys of 130 pounds and over, while the B class included hoys under 130 pounds. I he teams were chosen by Mr. Dietrich and were matched as evenly as possible. Team 7 won the B league. The team was captained by Ralph Hawkins, with Bill Burke. Howard Agger, George Snell, Walter Mings. Team 4 led by Junior Drake with Bob Mulvaney, Ralph Rothwell, Harry Von Eschen and Bill Enright, won the A league. Medals and silver loving cups were awarded the winners. The purpose of the league is to give even bo in High School a chance to play Basketball. 81 THE KYOTE — 1 924- MANAGERS Athletic Manager—Finance. WESLEY E. STOUT, In giving Wesley the finance manager- ship of the football season. Mr. Dietrich showed keen judgment and foresight. Wes ley not only successfully managed the foot- ball finances but he also was manager of the County Fair and basketball season. His work has been excellent along these lines, at all times. Athletic Manager—Field. ALVIN WENDTE, Alvin could not play football this year owing to the eighth semester ruling. The school and team felt his strength, how ever, for his work as Field Manager last football season was a source of satisfaction to both the coach and the schooL His was a hard job, but Alvin performed his duties as he once did on the gridiron—well and faithfully. Concession Manager. LASELLE WORTHINGTON When It comes to giving out concessions at the district basketball tournament, La- Selle had it all over every one. LaSelle not only had charge of this important feature of the school but he was also de- bate manager and served faithfully at all times. It is “System” that counts and La- Selle had a “system.” Intra-Mural League Manager JUNIOR DRAKE The Intra-Mural League basketball con- test is always an important series of events among the boys during the winter. The contest this year was run ott in an effic- ient and business-like manner. To Junior Drake who had charge of the eliminations goes much of the credit for making It the success that it was. Yell Leader WALTER SANFORD Where’s your school spirit without a yell kin ? The spirit may be there, but it takes someone to bring it out and put it to use. That “someone was Walter Sanford. Walter always managed to get the crowd yelling in unison, and all of this contributed to our athletic victories this year. 82 MUSIC AND DRAMA THE KYOTE - 19 24- ORCHESTRA The orchestra was reorganized the second week of school under the leadership of Mr. McAdow. The following officers were elected: Vera Throssel, President Elizabeth Gregg, Pice-President Peg Baysoar, Secretary Alberta Throssel, Treasurer Wonderful progress was made by the orchestra and by the end of the year it had developed into a well-organized group of musicians, the best that Billings High School has ever had. Much credit is due Mr. McAdow and his son Maurice, who played with the orchestra. It is to be hoped that the school will have the same director next year. The orchestra played during the year at the Junior Play, several debates, Business and Pleasure Club Play, declamatory contest, three assemblies. Commercial Club, and the Senior Play.

In additon to winning first place, the two Billings debaters won individual honors. From all the teams at the meet, the four best speakers were selected. Everett Patterson, who debated this year for the first time, was chosen as the best individual debater in the state. Ivan Caraway, who is well known in high school for his speak- ing ability, and who has been prominent in extemporaneous speaking and debate, tied for third place. There has been an unusual amount of interest and enthusiasm manifested in debate this year. Miss Louise Johnson, head of the Public Speaking department, supervised all of the preliminary debates. About forty students turned out for it and this is the largest number ever entered in this particular branch of forensics. The contestants were divided into groups according to their respective classes in school. Each of the four classes had two or four teams and these class teams debated each other until finally the three best debaters for each class were chosen. I hen there was a series of inter-class debates in which the Senior class team, composed of Everett Patterson, Bruce Crippen and Ivan Caraway, emerged victorious. The next big step was the selection of a school team. Russell Smith, a Sophomore who made good on the Freshman debate team last year, was selected as one member. The other two were Caraway and Patterson. Mr. William R. Jameson, an attorney in Billings, who coached the school team last year, again coached it this year. Needless to say, his coaching proved a great The B. H. S. Debate Team defeated Fromberg and Park City on the question, “Resolved: That the Federal Government of the United States should adopt the Par- liamentary Cabinet Form of Government. Thus Billings was champion of its district. Because the State requires a two-man team for inter-district and state debates, the two Senior members of the team were chosen to represent Billings at Missoula. Russell Smith will have two more years in which to further distinguish himself, hut this was the last chance for the other two to make a name for themselves. In an inter-district debate with Miles City, held at Missoula, Billings was the victor In the final debate Billings defeated Big Sandy, thus obtaining the state title. As a result of their victory, the two Billings debaters won a silver loving cup tor the school This cup, however, does not remain permanently in a school until it has been won by the school three times. Since this is the first year that Billings has ever done a great deal in debate, let’s keep up the good work next year and the years after, and thus retain the silver cup. 87 THE KYOTE-1924 Extemporaneous Ivol Curtis, Declamation A large number of students tried out in tile preliminary extemporaneous speaking contest this year. 'I lie ten best shakers were selected, and the final contest took place at a general assembly. Ivan Caraway was awarded first place, and Henry Hough re- ceived second honors. In the district tournament, Ivan placed first, and thus competed in the state ex- temporaneous contest held at Bozeman. Declamation Thirty-five aspiring orators entered the preliminary declamatory contest. This number was narrowed down to ten con- testants. Ivol Curtis was chosen as the best declaimer in B. H. S. Eleanor Whitt was selected as the best girl entrant. In the district contest held at Big Timber, Ivol Curtis won second place. In the In- terscholastic Meet at Missoula, Ivol won fourth in the state. Bu siness and Pleasure Cl h PI ay Another very clever play of the year was given by the Business and Pleasure club on the night of March 29th. The name of the play was, “Patty Makes 'Hiings Hum” and the story is suggested by the name. It dealt with the experiences of a little girl of seventeen summers who won the heart of a dignified captain of the sea She causes a great deal of trouble by her un- expected arrival in the home of her sister, a societ) lad) who is giving a party and everything is going wrong. The interesting situations that follow continue without a pause till the final curtain. All parts were well played. The actresses all were members of the club but the actors were borrowed for the occasion. Miss Johnson coached the plav, assisted by M iss Dennett, sponsor of the club.

As has been the custom they are spon- sored by the principal, and Mr. Dietrich has led them thru a very successful year. In the past the Ex-chequer has been composed only of Senior boys, but this year they voted to take in a few underclassmen to carry on the work that they had started. So this year the very bulwark of the Ex-chequer will leave Billings high, and entrust the club to its younger brothers with a few words of council and advice. 03 Williams O’Donnell Cooper Hazelton Hamilton Fraser Caraway Bay soar Brennan Pearce O'Malley Baker Gregg Farr Hammond Moore Wilson Kochi Nofsinger Chappie Shultz Burns Brooks Smith Coppo Wilds Bcrgherm Brockwa) Brown Rhea Me Bee Lamport ALPHA KAPPA OFFICERS First Semester Catherine Bcrgherm, President Fae Brock way.

Four separate staffs were elected throughout the year, and thus all members had experience in the different phases of newspaper work. Much interest was shown in the work, and under such able leadership, the Kyote issues could not he otherwise than of the best. The school annual, the best ever gotten out by B. H.

This body conceived the idea of establishing a lounging room in the Y. M. C. A. for the exclusive use of boys of High School age. The plan was carried out very creditably. The Senior Hi-Y put on two of the biggest hot dog sales in the history of B. H. S. 101 THE KYOTE-1924 Baker Bergin Herhst Drake A. Winther Steele Reckard L. Lueck Brown Heffern O.

Over fifty hoys and girls signed up for the tournament, a record in itself. Mr. Dietrich and the Club officers immediately drew up the tournament, which at the present writing is being played off with zest and dispatch. I he boys and girls tournaments are separate, which makes for more competi- tion among the girls. Among the boys the competition will be far keener this year than in former years. New stars have entered the school, making the tournament this year more interesting. Fortnev-Pease Co., is offering two cups this year; one large cup remains in the school, the winner’s name being engraved on it from year to year.

Tobin BILLINGS, iMONTANA 126 THE KYOTE-1924 THE COWBOY'S REVENGE BY BRUCE CRIPPEN The sole guest of the Last Chance saloon lazily gazed out through the plate glass window to the street beyond. It was a sultry day in July. The little town of Billings was silent except for an occasional clap-clap of a horse’s hoofs. The sun was blinding. Its rays beat down upon the dusty little village and were reflected from every bit of gleaming metal. Inside the saloon it was dark and cool. The room was deserted except for the bartender and the guest, a tall cow puncher, stooped and bow-legged from much rid- ing. He seemed uneasy and he uncunsiously tapped the handle of his silver mounted forty-five which swung low at his hip. His right hand was ungloved. The bartender carefully inspected a glass which he was polishing and then re- marked, “I understand that the boys from down Butte way are intendin’ to hit town tonight. ‘They say that thev’re goin’ to rip this old burg wide open.” The visitor was unimpressed. It was very evident that he was laboring under a strain. He continued to gaze out through the window. Suddenly he turned and striding up to the bar called hoarsely for strawberry soda, when the drink was pushed across the polished mahogany bar to him, he paid for it and turning, drank it slowly. The sound of a horse’s hoofs, gal- loping, woke him from his reverie and he stiffened. His hand dropped to his gun. The horse approached rapidly and almost instantly came into view. It was a magnificent animal but the rider drew the eye. Vice was stamped upon every feature of his evil countenance. Dusty and ill-shaven, he was typical of that type of frontier ruffian which infested every western community. He pack- his two six-guns which hung low on ed two six-guns which hung low on gloved and bronzed—the hands of a gunfighter. He dismounted, tied his horse to the hitching rail and strode toward the swinging doors of the saloon. The present occupant of the place strode over to a position direct- ly in front of the doors and cooly awaited their opening. The doors swung open. The newcomer entered and then froze in his tracks. An involuntary ejaculation escaped his lips. “Good heavens! Wild Bill Halverson!” he gasped.

INTRODUCTION To the Hesitating Reader: I his doesn t pretend to be literature. It s only a plain, rugged drama for plain rugged folks who like their reading material full of action, pep and punch—(to use the vulgar slang of the Fast.) The title has nothing whatever to do with the story— as is the usual custom with this type of tale—but it’s a good title anyway. I warn you right now—if you are one of thoss depraved creatures who like risque and sophis- ticated novels such as. “Elsie Dinsmore,” “Little Women,” and other disreputable works of that sort—to read no more. 'This is not the play for you. But—for those who enjoy real, plain, good, honest, clean, pure, wholesome themes and characters— this is the stuff.

His name was wished upon him by his grandmother who this day resides in peace and harmony with the angels. One day Ami was out in the garden digging horseradish for the baby's mid-nite lunch when his grandma came out on the scenery and took a slant at her budding grandson. She was wearing a simple frock of ermine appliqued with imitation dough- nuts and her feet were noticeably smaller than the rest of her bod). She looked with contempt at the operation being performed upon the horseradish. Then spoke Hor- rible Ami, “Grandmother pray tell me what you think of me as a horse rad isher?” His grandma glared at him for about two hours and then answered in a voice that resounded in the mountains, “Horrible, Ami, Horrible!” Ami ran a Free Air Station up in the nearby mountains that dominated the center of his back yard. In order to keep his business from being overrun by competitors he was forced to do a little battling now and then, but he had yet to show the mark of conflict. Nevertheless, he was soon to be afflicted in conflict, but he always said. “Let’er flicker.” One bright and sunshining day when the clouds made the sky so dark that there was hardly anv sunlight, Horrible Ami was riding through the bogs of the Yellow- stone Highway. He espied a total stranger sitting on a fence post. The newcomer had a rattlesnake coiled around his neck and a wild cat under his arm. He was eating Paris Green and drinking hydrofloric acid. Now this stranger was the best shot in the world, hut Horrible Ami was una- ware of this. He did know, however, that no one in the world could shoot as good. On riding up to the man “Horrible” tried to kid the boy as much as possible, but not .as much as he could if he wanted to. “Good morrow, if it don’t hail,” he said, “Could you tell me from where you have arrived?” The stranger looked at him in a pleasant manner and responded in a meek tone, “Aha, those hard guvs up in the sticks ran me out, but I’m a pretty tough bird myself and I mean to kill every man 1 meet who cannot shoot the spots off of six ducks eggs without breaking the shells.” Horrible Ami was terribly shocked at these words but did not let the stranger discover it. He just shook like a palm leaf and registered a high blood pressure. After about six hours of dreadful silence Ami tried to pull his six and a half shooter from his holster but it wouldn’t come; at least it was all he could do to get it out. The stranger started shooting first and proceeded to pump lead out of his young cannon in the general direction of Horrible Ami, but Ami dodged the bullets and was not scratched. Finally, Ami, after taking careful aim, succeeded in shooting the seeds out of the strangers adam’s apple. From then until dark (the last streaks of day had faded in the east when all this happened) such a terrible battle ensued that it set the community insane, even the bullets went wild. In a few minutes (about 12.903, to be exact) they had cramps in their trigger fingers and were forced to discontinue the course in marksmanship. It is well to know that in this battle the participants, who were standing ten feet apart, used over twelve cases of shells. The terrible fight (Continued on Page 137.) 131 Our Customers Say— tt m We Can Do Better at Koppe s And the reason is We carry iho largest stock. ( ur service is unexcelled.

His muscles seemed to contract, and his eyes resembled those of a hunted animal. The bartender dropped down behind the bar. “Yes, it is 1. It’s entirely logical! Right will always triumph. I have followed you for years inspired by the hope that 1 might sometime avenge the wrong which you did me. Your doom is sealed! Draw, you coyote, draw! Wild Bill saw the newcomer’s arm move. Then like a boy throwing a ball under- hand Wild Bill drew and pulled the trigger—once—twice—he heard his gun boom. The newcomer pitched forward, his gun firing as he fell, the bullet sang past Halver- son arid thudded into the wall. Halverson then pulled out his knife and carefully notched the handle of his gun. There were now all told, twelve notches in the battered handle. Twelve battles won. And all of them had been won in the cause of the pure and the true. Wild Bill sighed as he walked hack to the bar. The bartender emerged from his hiding place “So you’re Wild Bill Halverson,” he breathed. “Gosh! an’ who is he?” “Ah he is a cur! Or rather he was a cur—an outlaw—one who would stoop to anything. Far he it from me to speak hard of the dead but he who you see lying is the most vile of all humans. He was unspeakably low!” “But who is he?” queried the saloon keeper, “an what did he do to you?” “1 have forgotten his name—it was so long ago—that he wronged me. But I shall never forget or forgive the wrong. It was many years ago. 1 was then a student in Hillings High School. One sad day 1 invited that cur to dine with me and a young lady who had captured my heart. And then—and then he ruined me.” “What did he do? Speak!” “It was terrible—the thing he did. He told her an infamous lie. He told her—he told her that I ate peas with my knife.” 133 The Bungalow A place to rest and a place to meet your friends.

THE TALE OF HORRIBLE AMI (Continued from Pag 131.) was fought on the seventh day of June, 1924, and will be remembered hv manufac- turers of ammunition through all the ages and generations of men. Horrible Ami was shot through the head in this battle and strange to say he weighed more after the injury than he did before. The only way this can be accounted for is that air weighs more than vacuum. On reaching home Horrible Ami repaired to the drawing room. He drew a glass of hard cider and a long breath and fell to the floor. He laid there for about two weeks but soon got up and said in a dazed condition. Am 1 Ami, or am 1 not; am 1 alive or am I shot, if I am not Ami, who am 1 ? ' ('Hie rest of this stor will he continued in next year’s Annual.) REVENGE IS SALTY. (A Western Fable.) The sun burned like fire and the air was like the blast from a furnace as the lone steed carried his rider over the scorching prairies. The rider was no other than a for- mer student of Hillings High School and a noted bootball player. They were headed towards a black spot on the horizon in hope that it might he a spring. But. lo, as they drew near, they discovered that it was a man fallen beside a dry hole in the ground where water had once bubbled. The rider dismounted, approached the man, and then suddenly drew hack. It was one of his old high school teachers. Water, water,” gasped the old man. But the rider, turning his hack, remounted his beast and as he drove off, scorn- fully threw the old man----a hag of salted peanuts.

It was a dark and dirty night in the midst of Yellowstone county. The winter wind was cold and blew, (not pink.) Snow was falling and hail was coming down, hut outside of that the market reports were steady. In the impenetrable blackness was almost (but not quite) visible the solitary figure of Karl Blare, now poor and reduced to the necessity of clearing the prairies of sage brush for a living. Approaching a nearby signpost, be lit the first safety match h? produced from the box. Twas indeed true that Karl was no ordinary man. He climbed the post, held the match up and read: “Fresh Paint.” “Aha, said Karl Blare “that’s just what I thought.” But of course, this little incident has nothing to do with the purport of the story. In Karl’s heart there burned a hatred that made a gasoline explosion look like a piece of smoldering punk. He wished to seek revenge upon a ruffian named Ivan Caraway, who lived in Worden. He hopped on his puny pinto and galloped off. When at Worden he snuck up to the door of the one-rootned shack where Ivan lived, and threw it wide open. 'Then, a shout burst from his lips: “Aha. cursed Caraway, 1 have found you out!” There was no answer. He had found him out. Wirelessly Speaking.

I do not mean that the sun was shining, but that tKr sun hung like a ball of fire over the grey desert which multiplied its heat so that it was really quite warm. Dust arose in suffocating clouds from the road into the stage- coach where perched a solitary passenger. 1 said perched, hut 1 did not mean perched, because it wasn’t a bird but a man. Did 1 sac man? If 1 did 1 beg your most humble pardon for 1 did not mean a man but an Easterner. He was what was styled in the Western lingo, a tenderfoot. By that 1 do not irnph that the man had or was pos- sessed of tender feet, but simply used the common term for a man of his type. As 1 was saving, the man did not like the dust, and sticking his head out of the door he cried. “Oh! 1 say there Mister Stage Driver, the dust down here is really quite impossible, and if 1 do not intrude 1 would prefer to ride with you.” The stage driver grunted an answer which the man took for a ready assent and without much ado climbed up beside the driver. It was really a better seat and the Easterner sur- veyed the surrounding country thru his horn-rimed spectacles with a new interest. He tried conversation with the stage driver, but not receiving an answer consoled himself with the thought that the driver was too bus) to notice what he was saying. From his seat the passenger saw a town in the distance and he heaved a well deserved sigh as he saw the end of his journey approaching. The) eventually reached the town or what was called a town. It really was only a group of flimsy wooden buildings, which looked as if they had been dr � pped from the sky and left untouched wherever they had fallen. The usual crowd of idlers and residents were waiting for the mail and news of the outside world. The passenger alighted and w as greeted by the hotel man, who directed the driver as to the disposal of the luggage, and then, taking the stranger by the arm led him into the hotel.

It read “Percival Archibald Montmorency Fitzgerald.’ The Westerners were highly amused at the doings of the Easterner and they forth- with gathered together to plot out some method of razzing him. So that evening at the supper table their plans were carried out. Nettie, the maid of all work and no play, came in to get the orders for supper, and coming to the stage driver she said, “Well, how do you feel for some chow?” whereupon he answered, “Wal. seein’ how I’m not feelin’ very g � od and not very hungry I’ll take a leg of pork, rare, with the (Continued on Page 159.) 157 Announcing (ho t i 1!

But he never moved, so the hasher moved on and took the next order which was, “Tell the cook to go out in the pasture and bull-dog a steer and cook the meat fast so that he can bring it in while it is still quivering.” Again the Easterner took no notice whatever of anything amiss. 'Then the hasher moved to the Easterner and said. “Do you want the same thing as the last gentleman.” Hearing him answer to the negative the Westerners looked to see if he would order “pate-foi- de-gras,” or some other foreign dish, when they heard him say in the mildest of tones. “Madame, bring in your darn cow and a sharp knife and I’ll slice off a hunk for my- self.” At these words each and every Westerner fainted and the Easterner not a whit perturbed took out a plug of tobacco and took a man sized bite.

These names are foreign to most of my readers but if you will refer to the accompanying map.

I am very proud of this skin, (for we skun him, of course), as it was the first trophy of our expedition. June 2, 1924. After passing a night in great danger of our lives, (the ants arc truly ferocious here), we rose this morning to another eventful day. Having heard of the famous black diamond rattlesnake 1 was eager to encounter one, which I did about 12 o’clock. Contrary to all rumors that this species of reptile is poisonous. 1 discovered these alleged rumors unfounded. Would you believe me, 1 actually went up and stroked its head! Afterwards I fastened a string around its neck and led it to the camp. It turned out to be a very valuable pet. I intend to let my children have him when 1 return. Strange to say we have not met any of the natives of these parts, but I hope to meet them some day in the near future. June 3. 1924. We made another mile today towards our destination.

June 6, 1924. Had a decidedly thrilling experience today. We sighted a flock of water buffalo. (1 think this is the name, or it might he Texas longhorns.) Wish- ing to get some close-ups we picked our way painfully through a field of cactus, a very disagreeable plant, and managed to get a splendid view. Strange to say the flock started toward us on a dead run, intent upon our destruction. After running through the cactus we were safe but I found that my new red suit had been torn to shreds. We used the rest of the day to recuperate from this experience. June 7, 1924. Rested some more. June 8, 1924. Feeling decidedly better we continued on our way. Much to my relief we did not encounter anything this day. Got some fine pictures of the beauti- ful sagebrush. June 9, 1924. Hussa! Arrived at Mossmain today at 1:58 P. M. This is in- deed a strange habitation. The buildings, to my notion looked like cast off box cars of some pre-historic railroad. But strangest of all are the inhabitants. They all wear John B. Stetson hats 5 gallon hats, I think they call them, and non descript shirts and trousers. They had thrust their feet and legs in cases called boots, with high heels. At the hips is generally found a 22 pistol with which they shoot the wild denisons of the prairie.

A Character Study. By Hal lee Walker. Fifty years after Wiliam Cody, the well known buffalo exterminator, won the ermine horse blanket for being the greatest man in the West, ‘ Buck Hamilton cap- tured undivided honors for being the dumbest. A story of the V est is not necessar- ily incomplete without first giving a summary of this young man’s life As you all know he was born. 'I'his event happened in the year nineteen six, at the same time that Lee Maines discovered the est Shore of Rosebud Lake. His first unusual habit was walking in his sleep but this was soon cured by sprinkling tacks on the floor. When still a pink complexioned youngster in rompers and shingled hair, he was noted for his discoveries. It was through his ingenuit that we now know that the sun rises in the morning and goes down at the end of the afternoon. Hamilton was a firm beliver in the theory that a super-saturated solution of hydrogen sulfide was nothing to laugh about. A list of his minor discoveries would cover both sides of a cigarette paper. The fact that his sister had two brothers and he only had one. caused him a great deal of meditation. He believed the Singer Building to he a bird cage, hut he was uncertain as to whether “The Beautiful and Damned” was a picture of a river or a modern flapper. Outside of that he was well educated and knew the alphabet from A to C. His earlv life, as you don’t already know, was pined away in Moss- main. He lived in that house until the beginning of the bananna shortage and then moved to a suburb called, Billings.

SXELLBAOIIER CREAM OF THE WEST” (Continued from 169) While in the village he cast aside his dignity and attended the Billings High School. During his first four years at that institution he made the Sling Shot Team. Glee Club, and he was one of the main heels in the Hi-Litso organization, hut of course, vve can’t hold that against him. He was captain of the Life Saving Crew during his Senior year, hut while attending a basketball game he injured his larynx and was forced to discontinue his vocal agonies. “Buck s” friends were numerous and far between. Standing out among them, like a brick clothes-line in a fog, was the notable Stuart Beeman of the House of McBee. Hunting was their one pastime at which they passed much time. Early one morning they went bear hunting. It was a sultry January morning; the were standing on the corner of Thirty-Sixth Street and Division Avenue waiting for the bears to flock past. Not only that, but it was two o’clock in the morning and there wasn’t a sun in sight. A high clump of brush was near- by and they didn’t think bears would be hiding in it. However, they fired six times into the brush and then slowly walked in the direction in which they had fired. They looked into the thicket and their astonishment was complete— ’cause there wasn’t any bear nowhere and not at all. Hank—“Just one more kiss before 1 leave.” Miriam—“No, we haven’t time.

Sweet ruler of the past, Whom I shall ne’er forget; To you whose power once was vast, These lines I write, and yet— E’en as I write I fain would look Upon your charms once more— As when in bygone times I took Advantage of the smiles you wore. Hut you are gone and naught remains Of dour sweet presence here Except your subjects of the plains, Whose love for you was dear. And even they are few and gray, And with the passing years, Like all things human, fade away, Adown the vale of tears. Yes! You are gone, and in your stead Dame Progress proudly stands, With stolen crown upon her head And blood-stains on her hands. But though from sight of loving eye You've sadly passed away, My love for you shall never die Till in the ground my form they lay. From ‘'Rhyme from a Roundup ('amp By Wallace I avl l Coburn.
