FIRST ACCOUNT OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE TRIBUNE EXTRA The Battle of the Little Big Horn J71FTY years ago within the borders of our beloved state, almost at our very door, «Occurred a mighty struggle—one of the greatest battles ever fought with- in the boundaries of our country, the outcome of which was to bring to a close, the struggle between the whites and the red men for the supremacy of the Northwest- June 25, 1926, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, in which General George A. Custer and 265 of his command, lost their lives while opposing some six-thousand Sioux. Cheyenne, and Blackfoot Indians. These Indians, under the direction of Sitting Bull, a Sioux medicine man, left their reservations and were joined b bands of warriors from the various tribes, the latter being under the leadership of such chiefs as (rail, Crow King, and Crazy Horse. Following the Civil War, the government endeavored by peaceful means to induce the Indians to remain on their reservations. These entreaties met with little success and the government was forced to use the United States army in an attempt to crush this hostility. Three fighting units were dispatched from military posts located along the edge of the hos- tile territory. One command under General Crook was to come from Fort Fetterman, east of what is now Casper. Wvoming, another command under General Gibbons from Fort Kllis (where Bozeman, Montana, is now located) and another from Fort Lincoln. Dakota, under General Alfred Terry. Tin plan was that three units were to close in on the In- dian at or near the Little Big Horn River, where it was thought the hostiles had collected. Under Jerry’s command was a brilliant young officer with a very unusual war record. He had the distinction of being the youngest general in the Civil War. General George A. Custer had taken an active part in a number of the important campaigns in the national strug- gle and had gained a reputation as a brave and courageous leader. At the close of the Civil War, he had led an expedition into the territory of Dakota and Montana and had gained much experience as an Indian fighter, engaging the hostiles many times. Custer’s previous experience with Indians, made his services valuable to the expedition un- der Terr)'. According to Brady, the best part of the expedition was Custer's command. General George A.

Custer’s Last Service Our story proper, begins on June 21. 1876. when Generals Terry, Gibbons, and Custer met in conference to determine the best plan of attack upon the hostile Indians. 1 his meet- ing was held within one of the cabins of the Tar West, the river boat acting as trans- port and supply ship for the commands. The ‘Tar West was stationed at the mouth of the Rosebud, near the spot where Forsyth now stands. It was decided that the Seventh Cavalry, under General George A. Custer, should follow the Indian trail discovered a few days previous by Major Reno, an officer of Custer's command. Upon being selected to make the trip. Custer immediately called together his offi- cers and ordered them to provide their men with fifteen days’ rations and fifty rounds of carbine ammunition per man. This was carried on the pack mules. In addition, each man carried on his person or in his saddle bags, one hundred rounds of carbine and twenty-four rounds of pistol ammuni- tion. He also carried twelve pounds of oats on his horse. Before leaving. General Custer re- ceived instructions from General I err . These instructions stated that Custer was to proceed up the Rosebud river, following the Indian trail until he determined their direction of march. He was to be careful not to lose the Indians by allowing them to slip away to his left. Terry expressed in his orders, his desire to have Custer and Gibbons close in on the Indians together, hut this must “he controlled by circum- stances as they arise. These instructions also stated in part: “The department com- Written by K. V. Smith, Acting Assistant A dj ut a n t -Gen era I General K. S.

At about 4 p. mM upon marching twelve miles and shortly after striking the Indian trail, the Seventh went into camp. About sunset, while in conference with his officers, Custer gave a few general orders, expressed his reli- ance upon the discretion, loyalty, and judgment of his men, and stated that he expected to meet about 1 5(XJ Indians, f At five o’clock on the morning of the twenty- third, the command took up the march. Fight miles out they came to the first of the recently deserted In- dian camping places. During the course of the day the Seventh passed three of these camps, finally halting for the night at 5 p. m., having marched about thirty-five miles. During the march similar camping places were passed. The troops were required to march on separate trails so that the dust clouds would not rise too high. About sundown, in order to hide the command as much as possible, they went into camp under cover of a bluff. The troops had marched about twenty-eight miles. Orders were issued to have fires out as soon as supper was over and b? ready to march again at 11 :30 p. m. At 9’:30 p. m. however, Custer called the officers to his tent and ex- pressed his desire to march at once. He wished to get as near the divide as possible before davbreak, where the command would be concealed during the day. At this time plans would be made for the attack on the twenty-sixth. J At 2 a. m. or shortly after, the march ended. At eight o’clock, after only six hours rest, the command again moved out over the trail. The Indian village had been located by the scouts some twenty miles away.fi At about 10:30, the command halted, itury. January, 1x92—Brady. War With the Sioux.” Pearson Magazine.

He has been ac- cusal of cowardly conduct in the Bat- tle of tlie Little Big Horn; later was found guilty taccording to Brady) by a general court-marshal, of conduct unbecoming to any officer or gentle- man and dismissed from military serv- ice of the t’nited States. He died a suicide. and Custer, with the scouts, proceeded ahead, making observations. About this time a group of men, who had been sent back on the trail to recover a box of bread which had been dropped during the night of the twenty-fourth, returned. They reported finding an Indian opening the box. He dashed into the hills upon their appearance. It was also reported by the scouts that several Indians had been seen watching Custer's movements. Realizing that he had been discovered and knowing that success with further delay was impossible, Custer made plans to do the logical thing—to attack at once. Inspections were soon made and the column was again on the march. The dividing ridge between the Rosebud and Little Big Horn valleys was crossed just before noon. Shortly afterwards the regiment was divided into battalions.! Major Reno’s battalion marched down a valley into the south branch of what is now called “Sun Dance” creek, Benteen’s creek, or more commonly, Reno's creek. I he Indian trail followed the windings of this valley. ('apt a in K. W.

Custer s column followed closely upon that of Reno, hut slightly to the right and rear. The pack trains followed Reno s trail. Benteen proceeded to the left and front to a line of high bluffs about three or four miles distant. He was ordered to report to Custer and to attack any opposition which he might meet. If, when he arrived at the high bluffs, he could not see the enemy, he was to continue his march to the next line of bluffs and so on until he reached the Little Big Horn valley.% Benteen. to save the strength of the battalion, sent Lieutenant Gibson ahead to recon- noitre. The rough country gradually threw the battalion to the right and again the trail was sighted about a mile away. The tired men dis- covered a spring or creek near by and although they had been without water thus far on the day’s march, the horses refused to drink, the water heing alkaline. Realizing the condition of his command, Benteen wise- ly determined to follow the trail of the other com- mands.

Upon reaching the trail just ahead of the pack train, Benteen saw Custer’s command, easily disting- uished by the troop of gray horses, traveling to the right at a rapid gait. Reno and Custer separated about a mile from tbe river, Custer going over the high rolling hills and Reno proceeding directly to the river. (See map.) Reno, following the Indian trail, crossed at a ford about two miles southeast of the Indian camp and marched di- rectly down the valley, coming shortly upon a few Indians who offered no opposition, but who kept just far enough ahead to invite pursuit. Reno followed them closely until he received orders to “move forward at as rapid a gait as you think prudent and charge the village afterward, and the whole outfit will support you. ' Reno, as ordered, moved rapidly forward in “column of fours' for about half a mile, then formed the battalion in line of battle across the valley with the scouts on the left. After advancing about a mile fur- ther, he deployed his command as skirmishers. The Indians, continually reinforced, fell back, firing occa- sionally, hut made no decided effort to check Reno's advance. Suddenly the Indians “developed great force, opened a brisk fire, mounted, and dashed to Reno’s left where the Reno scouts were located,”t The scouts fled and Reno im- mediately ordered his men to dismount and fight on foot. The command fell hack on the defensive until in the timber. Up to this time, Reno’s loss was one wounded. T he length of time Reno re- mained in this position is questionable. Some say “a few minutes, others say “about an hour.” While in this strong position, Reno's casualties were few. In time, a small number of Indians fired on the rear of the command and Reno ordered the men to mount and get to the bluffs. Reno led this retreat or “charge as he termed it in his report.% Striking the river at a fordable place, Reno's troops rushed in a straggling manner into a small cut in the hank and dashed madly up a steep bluff, losing a number of men. Lieutenant Don McIntosh was killed soon after leav- ing the timber. I)r. D. Wolf was killed climbing the bluffs a short distance from the command and Lieu- tenant B. H. Hodgson was shot and killed after his horse leaped with him from the bluff into the river. Reno’s casualties thus far were three officers, and twenty-nine enlisted men killed, seven enlisted men wounded, one officer, one interpreter and fourteen soldiers and Ree scouts missing. The Crow scouts stayed with Reno. Although Reno's men formed a defense, they w'ere fighting a losing battle. Benteen •Godfrey. Century, January. 1X92. ♦Godfrey, Century. January, 1x«� 2. t Godfrey.

According to his ntory hi escape was made | ossiblc by disguis- ing himxeir as a Sioux and passing through their lines. He was the first to report the outcome of the battle to Terry on the Far West. ' John Martin was a trumpeter of Custer’s command and was the last man to see Custer alive. It was he who carried Punter' last message to Benteen. to come at once and bring packs when he. Punter, had started his detour with the intention of strik- ing the rear of the Indian village. appeared with his troops, deploying them as skirmish- ers and withstanding the enemy's vicious attack. The Indians gradually slackened their attack and suddenly most of them disappeared up the valley, thus giving Reno and Benteen time to establish their positions. Having established their positions, they proceeded to make observations, and to decide what to do regard- ing the carrying out of Custer’s order to come to him. Accordingly at about five o’clock the command moved towards Custer’s position intending to join him. Hearing occasional shots from that direction, Benteen and Reno arrived at the conclusion that Custer had been repulsed and that the firing was by the rear guard. I he firing suddenly ceased and Indians in bunches were seen racing toward Reno's position. The com- mand was now ordered to fight on foot. Lieutenant Weir’s and Captain French’s troops were posted on the high hills and to the front of them with Lieutenant Godfrey’s troops along the crest of the bluffs next to the river. The rest of the command moved to the rear to establish a defensive position. The Indian attack on Weir’s and French’s positions compelled them to retire. They were seen retreating towards the main command at a rapid gait, followed closely by the Indians. Lieu- tenant Godfrev deployed his men of Troop K as skirm- ishers, sent his horses to the main command and re- treated slowly. Orders came to Godfrey to hurry his troop to the com- mand and as or- dered, his men made a run for it. The Indians now took possession of all the high points in the immediate area and opened a heavy fire which continued until dark (between nine and ten o’clock).f The night was spent in terrible agony by the soldiers who were obliged to listen to the war whoops, and shouts of their foes, as they wildly celebrated their victory in the village. At da break the fighting again broke out with a fury equal to that of the previous day. The Indians attempted to draw the fire of the soldiers, thus caus- ing them to waste their ammunition, but the order to hold the fire foiled this attempt. Benteen's command suffered more casualties than the cithers as it was in a position more exposed to the river. After much urging, Reno finally ordered French to take troop “M” over to support Benteen. The boldness of the enemy soon caused Benteen to make a charge and the Indians were dirven nearly to the river.

It Is rea- sonably certain, (according to Ids own story) that he killed Tom Custer in the Hattie of the Hit tie Big Horn. Sitting Bull, a Cticapapa Sioux In- dian. was the chief of the hostile camp, with about sixty lodges of fol- lowers. which whs known as '‘Sitting Bull Camp or Outfit. He was known as the great “medicine man. ’ He was a chief, but not a warrior chief. In the war councils, he had a voice and vote the same as any other chief. A short time before the battle he had “maCe medicine” and had predicted that the sold Jet-5 would attack them and that the soldi rs would all be killed. He took no active part in toe battle, but as was hi-� custom in time of danger, remained in the village making medicine.” Personally he was regarded by the Agency Indians as a great coward and a very great P.ar. a man with a big head ami a little heart.” suddenly they increased their fire and gathered to at- tack. Henteen at once went to Reno, pleading with him to do something immediately. Reno gave or- ders to prepare for a charge and directed Benteen to command it. After driving back the Indian lines for 75 or 100 yards, the advance was halted and Benteen retreated to Reno’s position without the loss of a man. About 11 a. m. the firing slackened and volunteers rushed to the river, bringing back sufficient water for the time being. Several of these men were wounded in making this hazardous trip. About two o’clock the Indians again opened fire and drove the soldiers to the trenches. At about three o’clock the firing ceased. Late in the afternoon the Indians fired the grass in the river bottom and under cover of the smoke, gathered up their belongings and moved across the pla- teau toward the Big Horn mountains. On Tuesday morning, June 27, Terry arrived at the Reno camp and told of finding Custer’s entire command slain. On the morning of June 28, Terry, Benteen and Reno left the entrenchments to bury the Custer slain. With the exception of a few, the bodies had been stripped of clothing and nearly all were terribly muti- lated. General Custer was not scalped nor mutilated and it was said that his expression was natural. He had been shot in the temple and in the left side. The bodies of Dr. Lord and Lieutenant’s Porter, Harrington, and Sturgis were not found, or at least, not recognized. The clothing of Porter and Sturgis was found in the village. According to Godfrey, 212 bodies were buried. The killed of the entire com- mand was 265 and the wounded. 52. Gall was the big chief of the three— the leading spirit among the Indians in the Custer Battle. He was an Un- oapapa Sioux of humble parentage, who became ehief by foroe of his per- sonality. Gall later became reeonciled and was a powerful influence for good among the Indians, establishing: the final peace settlements. No one knows exactly what happened to Custer after he left Reno. John Martin, a trumpeter, was the last white man to see Custer and his command alive. Martin had been sent to Benteen with the mes- sage, “Benteen, come on. Big village. Be quick. Bring packs.—P. S. Bring packs.” Martin, accord- ing to his own account, gave this message to Benteen shortly after the latter had struck the trail just ahead of the pack train. Curley, a Crow Indian scout, claimed to have re- mained with Custer until shortly before the end of the battle. His escape was made possible by his disguising as a Sioux and passing through their lines. The In- dians who opposed Custer, claimed Curley watched the battle from a safe distance and upon seeing that Custer was defeated, fled into the hills. Curley reporting to Terry on the “Far West,” gave the first word of the disastrous result of the battle. Custer, from the point he was last seen by Ben- teen’s men, had a view of the field for several miles of the march. He made a wide detour in order to fall on •Godfrey. Century, January. 181 2.

After this time, what actually happened to Custer is unknown except to the In- dians who took part. Chief Gall, a big leader among the red warriors, gave the following version: Custer, evidently thinking he was in the rear of the village, turned toward the river. Although the exact time is unknown, it was probably about 2:30 p. m. when he made this move. Chief Gall had taken a large body of men across the river with the idea of striking Reno from the other side. Before Gall could move to the right for this purpose, Custer suddenly appeared on the hills in front of him. Custer had manoeuvred splendidly and his appearance surprised and alarmed the Indians. Gall at once sent word to Crazy Horse, who was leading the attack against Reno. Leaving enough Indians for a demonstration be- fore the already demoralized Reno. Crazy Horse rushed down the valley to Gall’s assistance. Taking the Indians of the northern part of the village, who had not yet taken part in the fight, he passed up a ravine well concealed from the soldiers and appeared on Custer’s right flank as Gall struck the left flank. Finding his command almost surrounded, Custer took the defensive, dismounted his men, moved the horses to the rear, and formed his lines of resistance. Lieutenant Calhoun’s troop was posted on the extreme left with those of Keogh, Smith, and Yates following in order and with that of Fora Custer on the right. The last three troops mentioned had the best defensive position in the hills and Custer was with them. At the first fire, Calhoun and Keogh’s horses were stampeded. The Indians poured in a steady, effective fire which the soldiers returned with less effect hut with admirable de- termination. In the face of such a large force, Custer was compelled to remain in his position on the hills. To retreat was hopeless; to advance was impossible. All Custer could do was to Drawn by Runnel!

This was all in vain; Reno nev ?r appeared. Ammunition ran low and the rest of the horses stampeded with the extra supply. (]all and Crazx Horse now resolved to end the affair. According to Mrs. Spotted Horn Bull, famous widow of a Unkapapa chief who witnessed the battle from the village, •‘Then the men of the Sioux nation led by Crow King, Hump. Crazy Horse and many great chiefs rose up on all sides of the hill, and the last we could see from our side was the great number of grav horses. The smoke of the shooting and the dust of the horses shut out the hill, and the soldiers fired many shots. There were more than two hundred dead sold rs ‘‘n the hill, and the bo s of the village shot many who were already dead, for the blood of tin- people was hot, and their hearts bad and they took no prisoners that day . In shallow graves, dug with hands, knives, and cups, were buried the Custer dead. 1 lie soldiers of Terry. Reno, and Benteen drove a stake into the ground at the spot where each soldier fell. Into each stake was driven a cartridge shell containing the name of the soldier buried there. The wounded of Reno and Benteen were carried down the Little Horn to the Tar West.” which in turn carried them hack to their homes. Some years later, the remains of most of the officers were shipped east, while the re- mains of the other soldiers were all buried under one big monument, and a little white marker was placed on the spot where each of these brave soldiers gave his life for his country. In passing through the field, one may see these little white markers, each touching a spot where a brave soldier fell. Courageously they fought and heroically they died with sol- diers in line and officers in position, retaining to the last, the spirit of the grand old Seventh.

School Song Come, all good fellows, come with us today. Come to the school where you'll all wish to stay. Come join the throng that is carried along by the spirit there. Come where the friendships fill all heart’s desire. Come where the students to heights all aspire. Come now and hear in a song ringing clear on the blithesome air. Chorus: Oh Billings.

Godfrey’s Message June 2, 1926 The Billings High School Senior Class, Billings. Montana: It is a pleasure to note the interest of the younger generation in the epochal events of the fading frontier. I am gratified to be called upon for greetings and to know that you intend using material I have gathered for your year hook of 1926. To an intimate friend. General Custer revealed himself as he thought of himself. “It is said that I am impulsive and rash. 1 resent that. When an emergency arises there instantly flashes in my mind all my experiences and studies of analogous con- ditions and situations, and instantly my plans of actions are formed and acted upon In my studies of military history 1 al- ways endeavored to analize conditions, movements, actions and results.” These are not his exact words, but the substance of the conversation. Wishing you all success in your life endeavors. Sincerely yours, E. S. Godfrey Cookstown, New Jersey -p 0 the faculty of the Billings high school the graduating seniors owe a debt of grati- tude, for the patience, kindness and confidence they have shown us dur- ing the four years of our school life. We hope that as we go out, we may, in a way, he worthy of that confidence — that we may prove ourselves worthy products of their endeavor. BP W X cl « r it «e | Tiffany Curtis Scott Steele Eltinc SCHOOL HOARD Last year the Kvote initiated the custom of including a picture of the school board and it is with pleasure that the Kvote this year carries on this same idea in the annual. The picture this year, contains both old and new members of the board. I)ue to the resignation of Mr. C. D. Randall, Mr. E. C. Smith was elected for a year’s term. Fire Chief V. A. Steele and Mr. 1. C. Curtis, whose terms expired, were replaced by Mr. G. W. Raish and Mr. C. S. Bell. Marion C. Dietrich Superintendent of City Schools Marion C. Dietrich, for five years principal of the Hillings high school and for the past two years superintendent of the city schools, has taken an active interest in every class graduating during his ad- ministration here. Mr. Dietrich's great interest in school affairs, in our activities and our athletics, his splendid progressive spirit and efforts toward the betterment of our school has won for him a warm place in the hearts of the students of Billings high school. The class of 2b goes out with a warm admiration and a deep feeling of gratitude to “M. C. D.M for the fine ideals of manhood he has set before us. It is with regret that we of the class of ’26 bid him farewell. Mcssagc from Superintendent M. ( . Dietrich 11'hile I sought Happiness, she flid before me constantly. Wearily, I turned to Duty's path, and Happiness sought me, Saying, I walk this road today—I'll bear the company. —Select ed. Happiness! How we all strive for it, yet how elusive it seems to be. It is not a respecter of persons nor is it any particular class or clime. Physical health, material wealth and social culture, do not. of themselves, bring happiness. It is earned and learned only when these possessions are utilized judiciously and altruistically. It has been said that happiness is not a flower that blooms alone. It is not a boon which can be obtained merely by the plucking. In fact it is not present at all unless one is doing his duty toward him- self and his fellows. Happiness like the modest violet, can but be found deep in the cool shadows of the great forests of real accom- plishment. So let us enter upon our duties willingly and without complaint. Let us see to it that every task is faithfully fulfilled. Let us take up every burden with a smile and as we keep our eyes fixed upon our ideals, far down the path though they may be, the Blue Bird. Happi- ness, unsought, yet doubly welcome, will surely come and perch upon our shoulders. Eugene Corfue, Principal Mr. Come has been with us for the past two years and in that time we have learned to know him and appreciate his fine qualities. His kindly interest in each individual, his desire to do the best tor all concerned—has won him a host of friends among the student body. We who are leaving this high school, go with a feeling that Mr. Carrie has been a friend to each of us and we feel sure that the future of dear o d H. H. S. is safe in hi hands. MR. CORRIK’S MKSSAGK Each and every one of you has had a part in the making of this year book. It has been your part to pro- vide the material from which the Kyote class has assem- bled this volume. No such a work could have been accomplished had you nut set new standards for the old traditional loyalty to Hillings high school. Just as you are proud of the accomplishments of this year, so should you be proud of this Kyote. You will enjoy its pages today, but keep it so that in years to come it can give you that full measure of pleasure which comes only from age-mellowed reflection. E. Corrie Abercrombie, Lillian, B. A.

This class is the largest class ever graduated from the halls of B. H. S. In their four years of high school life, their successes have been many. Their junior and senior class plays, “The Charm School” and “The Three Wise Fools” were presented in an excellent manner. For two years preceding graduation the ma- jority of men on the athletic teams have been members of the class of ’26. Among other honors won by members of this class are included two positions on the all-state football and basketball teams, first in the Rocky Mountain feature story contest, and third in the extemporaneous speaking contest. Also the thirty members of the Kyoto Class of ’26 maintained the standard set by the classes of ’25 and ’24 by publishing a paper which was judged the best in the state. The class of 26 expresses best wishes for success to the incoming seniors. Grace Adamson You never can tc'l about these iu!ei peo- ple.

Oh! that’s Howard Alter. False alarm—he .isn't “sur lept it Intis' ’—that's the word 11 i:«R Poly fal- low toed. Howard's life Is fill, d with ob- stacles. When he can’t net a car Imte are plenty of ladles: when he can act a car he can t find any ladies. Howard has a pood record in school except for being mixed up In some of Foote’s money schemes. Jm1 Mary Virginia Aldrich Mary Virginia is n loyal no mber of the Glltygnotz and Is usually the •'tabllixlnw in- fluence of their 1’doings. “Ginger was a very prominent randy seller and at the Country Fair in ‘25—it is reputed that she won the Hot Dawg selling championship Howard Allison Howard is a modest farm boy. who. as he would say. came in from the country to play football anil get some education. He evidently learned to work hard on the farm from what he has shown us in his activities. One of his opponents said he was as broad between the shoulders as a caterpillar and We can say that Providence made i .ot of him above these same shoulders. Delmar Aggers In his sophomore year Delmar tired of Hillings and went to (’anmla. He says he wasn't dodging the Vo|s� e«d Act He cou d not stay away so he returned and as a result of his travels he has an extensive know ledge of economics and heavier subjects, in- cluding a course “love In foreign countries.

Helen Anspach We’ve heard a great deal aliout these trips to Hardin. What about them. Helen' Helen Is In the Glee Club Maybe she just goes to Hardin to practice Helen's chief hobbies are reading ' Exchanges. and reporting g ee t lub activities. Helen was nr.e of our h'gh jclr.t students. 37 Minnie Bain Minnie' pet hobby is climbing over the rocks and taking pictures. She admits that she has conquered her fear of the steps and expects to try the Devil's Kitchen next. Ralph seems to enjoy these expeditions, too. Someone said she was the “Bane” of his life, but we don't know. Minnie actually enjoys getting activity lists from seniors. Ruth Bakewell Yes. that Mg car has someone in it. Ruth Bakewell Is her name. It is still a question how she—such a little girl—drlv- s such a big car. it is reported that Ruth got her feet Wet at the l wistown game last year. It wai somewhat muddy. AIARCA R BT BAYSOAR Does anyone In the audience remember The ('harm School? It was at this school that Peggy acquired her charm. At any rate she has certainly charmed Ralph, since that time. Her name Is frequently found on the roll of honor. Outside of being accompanist to the music contestants, she hasn't any outstanding faults. C R A YVFORD B EC K ETT Business is his epigram.

That's what they do when they see him coming, unless they want to buy anything from a page of advertising in the Kyoto, to a sot of calling cards. 2X Dorothy Baker Dorothy Is a shy little mlflf� . or perhaps that is Just her modest way. She has many admirers but they worship from afar. Dor- othy has a sweet voice which matches her sweet face. Arx eldus Barrett A tomboy In disguise—-we mean “skirts.

She ame here In order to finish her high school course anti is doing that in a commendable manner. She Is quite a noisy lady In Mr. Moody's classes. She seems to know a great deal about civics. Mildred Biddle It’� easy to write about noisy people, but th.- quiet ones fool us. They don't give us any chance to make remarks about them. V e hear .Mildred Is going to be a teacher. If that s (rue. we hope she'll remember when she went to school. Kathryn Bishop We wonder if she Is bashful Anyway she doesn't say much, but work fl lot. That's virtue.

Hob rode a r.-d bicycle to school until his Junior year, but on becom- ing a senior, he found his dignity t« o heavy to carry on a bike. Ruth Brooks She takes them as they are. and leaves them—unless they have a car. She has left a groove In many a desk In our school. She was a Kyote. hut not wild. There is one thing that s certain about Ruth—she’� all on the square. Ruth's greatest delight Is writ- ing senior biographies. Louise Blackford Is ulse started making a name In high school circles very early. While still a Frosh she won a state contest for the best blush She has the original schisil girl complexion. She wields a mean tennis rac- quet and in another year she will be able to drive—so she says.

She taken roll in A and she never misses a single aJMenter. Shed make a poor politician she can't listen to bribery. One thing about Leona, she never needs a bribe. She always has her lessons In A style. Liddie Ginn Don't «ret It wrong. Mi Ginn was not named after the famous vegetable compound Liddle used to live on the coast, but she retreated Inland last summer and now she Is a strong booster for Billings. She wanted to make the Kyoto da as and she did so. She 1m very businesslike and UKually get. what she goes after. Farreli. Griffin “Cap Griffin We're lucky to have Cap with ns this year at graduation. We almost lost him when the basketball team went through St. � J«ul. When Cap enters a class room he thrown open nil the windows. As soon hs the girls shriek. Oh. Farrell, pleas� put It down. he struts his stuff. Farrell’ � record in school Is a model for any freshman. Four years of hard work and finally In Ills senior year the reward, a letter In football, jn banket- ball. and In track. Frieda Giesick Frieda comes from the country, but she Isn't at all disqualified by that fact. She says they can pronounce her name correct- ly In the country and that Is more than Mr. Moody can do. Frieda lives with her sisters and they make her toe the mark, so we heard. James J. Gillan, Jr. Jim mad. his first big debut into the whirl of high school affairs in the Kx-Alpha Circus. Will we ever forget that Hula da nee? Since that time his advance has been rapid He was a member of our 24 team a-bd manager of our '25 championship team. As a reward of being president of the Bbc-CJ equer. he was allowed to dance In the famous spring dance. Jim has been a hunt worker, a good sport and a real fellow Whitney Griffing The lead, r of the Charleston Seven. WhJt hamm r s the piano for that well known orchestra. � '«• one will ever forget Griffing's Ford. It's a relic. Once someone stole it and dismantled It. but It’s fixed up now and still rarin to go. Whitney is also an elec- trician. Roscoe Grover Roscoe used to sell pianos and Ukes for Lfndamood . We don't like to give advice but really there is a better field for Ckes in Hawaii than In Billings. You might also carry baled hay as a side line. Rose - left Billings for Livingston and we wonder if he will l e able to break the ties and come home for graduation. Harold Gunn Commonly known an Runty Gunn—the noted Charleatoner. He I� very effective— especially since halloon trousers play such piominent part in the masculine Karl� . Is he a winner? Just hear him dehate and de- cide for yourself. We hope he Isn’t as good a burglar in real life as h - was in the senior play. “Three Wise Fools. Ted Hannon Hannon's Service Station. That’s a good sign. Huh? Tod knows all about cars. If you have car trouble, Ted can help you out—be glad to in faotSL He’ll even demonstrate the car after It's fixed. That s service, isn't it? Alvin Helsing He comes unsung from Shepherd. We don’t know much about Alvin’s record down in Shepherd, but we have our suspicions. One girl, upon being asked If Alvin had any bad habits said, No, he's an angel. Maybe so. We know now what he thinks of when he looks into space in A «luring studies. He is thinking how his harp sounded up in Heaven. Lydia Henke Lydia attended Shepherd high for some time but on finding that that Institution coukl not give her enough to fill her mind, she came to Hillings. That's a fable in one act. Hut at any rate she is training in Hil- lings to be a teacher. Dora Hansford Great Novelist Weds The above is an extract taken from a paper published in li� 35. Miss Dora Hansford, well known novelist—’’ Dora has one great fault. We don’t like selfishness and I ora is selfish. We have to admit that. She won’t leave an essay prize for anyone any more. Edward Hatfelt Some one called him Edward once, but he didn't know to whom they were talking. He Is culled—I asked him how to spell it and he said it was either Mw� k, Mowk. Moug nr Mooke. At C. M. T. C he rolled the boys out of the tent fast and fur- ious. While his eye was black he won a beauty prize at Salt I ake. Ambrose Hildebrand Ambrose is one of the Intra-Mural stars. Remember what Gray said: Full many a flower is I torn to bloom unseen And waste its sweetness on the desert air.” That’s true of Ambrose also, altho he Isn't a flower. We believe he has a great deal of ability in basketball which some of us have not yet learned. Jack Hill No. my friends, it is not love. He gets that preoccupied air from worrying over the annual. You're reading what he worried about. Jack knows all about Custer, and he is a tennis player also. In his word . Cus- ter served a fast one on Gall an«l followed to the net. Gall met Custer's serve and drove, passing Custer who was unable to re- treat to the back court. Jack has five big interests—tennis, piano. C. M. T. C..

Josephine Hochstrasser Another teacher! Think of the coming generat ion. No It's all right. She Is very well | nail fled to he a teacher. Josephine has gone jjthru school with that In mind ami we helilve she will gain her end. We’re afraid the mi pi Is will «•all her ■•teacher —they won't be able fn spell her name. Josephine is a nu mber of the school saving system. Georgia Huntington Wo have never heard GeaMput called ’ Sunny but we think that wogjd he a good name for her. She has one outstanding vir- tue, she can ask for clararooig notes with- out being offensive—and more � tithe gets ’em. She should be a politician. Florence Iverson Spun taffy. That’s her hair. Underneath The brains are there. Florence came to Hillings from Acton. She has been diligent during her school life here. Her name graces the honor roll regu- larly. Mussette Horrocks Some people are Just naturally lucky anil Musset te Is one of those people. Her curly hair has always been the envy of all the girls. Her name Is typical of her. inasmuch as she is an unusual girl. Helen Howard Helen is the salutatorian of the class of '26. It s really tig� bad that all those brains and those dark brown eyes should be given to one person. Hut such is life. Home people are naturali) smart, others have a faculty for hard wr.rk Helen does both. That ex- plains her success. Dora Jacobucci Jaca---yes go on. Well don’t worry----- ahe’s changed It to Jacobs for short Her nerves became shattered trying to tell peo- ple how 10 pronounce her name. Any way ‘■«facobuccl is a pretty long name for such---. But she’s all there above the shoulders and the poets tell us that’s what Counts. In the shoulders she has the best French shrug in her class. Florence Johnson Flo”—that’s getting familiar but anyway —she Is going to be a bookkeeper. At least that’s what she said when she wax a fresh- man. She did a mighty good Job of keeping her books, or worked very hard because she is graduating with 17 credits. That is some- thing fit to be published. 47 Dick Josephson One in a million. The smile h - wears will lake him through life with friends—and may- be a keen wife. A disponit ion a la perfect, never angry, never cross. A real friend to his associates—and a terror to women’s hearts. A good forward, a good football man. a good student, a credit to the high school for he's one good fellow. They call him the “lucky Swede. The football Bergherm to him «lid feed. He saved the day. he g«� t no pax . 'Cept a big chew «if dried hay. JS Nettie Keefe Nettie is «me of our girl basketball stars. She won the locker room cup for making the most noise. On the floor she doesn't make noise, she makes baskets. We have heard that Nettie abuses her brother. We hope it isn't true. We can't imagine her. being so cruel. Elsie King 1 We couldn't say about the “King part, but to the eyes, she is a «iu -en. She has made many friends in the course of her high school life, and we couldn’t say whether she has improved her mind or not. since coming to our mansion of knowledge. Ruth Lackxen New to our eyes, new to our «drcles—and oh! yes. to our school. She fitted in like water fits into a glass and it wasn’t l«� ng until she was a native son” in our halls. She is fond of snow and ice «ream. We once heard she liked “red hats. Maurine Kelly “Kelly. that’s a good Irish name. Well we don’t know whether Ma urine is Irish or m t. but at Hny rate she possesses one of the chief characteristics of the race. We heard that Maurine stmlies in the « ffice every fourth period. We wonder why? Maurine has been to many of the s«'hools in the state and sin1 came to B. H. S. to finish We can truthfully say she is making u goo«l finish. Frances Key And now we come to the Latin Shark. Frances was Miss We see's perfect stu«ient in Latin when she was a fn-shman. Con - grut ulat ions. Frances. She has thousands of admirers, but she never steps out. Franklin Lamb He rocs to c!ass like a lamb, but many times leaves like a lion. Have you ever seen a lamb drive a Ford, or a lamb chew gum. or a lamb dance? Well wratch this boy. He‘s also a lion for graces and a lamb for girls. His smile is original and his laugh worse. He formed the center of a visiting group in A” every roll period. Montana Lamport Her name describes her. Montana, like this classmate, is one thing we like for each one’s true- self. Montana is an immense state. Montana Lamport, a sntail girl hut huge In her worth. Like the state she was named after, she has many natural re- sources—personality, color. M«mtann, we're or you! Ethel Leach Happy-go-lucky, full of fun. that’ Kthel. Always a witty saying nr h Joke on the tip of her tongue. It ha� been rumored that eh. I� tired of her present name. We aren’t certain though. Kthel Uvea on the Shepherd road and «he says that the going� on” these dajm are .something fierce. Dolores Lemmon Don’t Huy lernon—Dolorem doten't like t«� have people rnls-pronounce her niutte. A lemon Ik thought of at Hour, but Dolores hasn’t any of that «luality In school she doesn’t make much noise, but she is there when It comes to getting things done. Calla Linton She has a laugh for everything, and If I ntav say It. she can glgge too AJl artists must have some outstanding trait they say. She Is a very accomplished pianist. Calla Is planning on buying a car. That’s when we take to trees. De Wayne Lin ville “Bud” Ltnvillc was an all-state basket- ball and football man and was also one of the five track men. He was not only an athlete, but also a leader in other activities. Bud Is a hard worker and he not only Worked hard, but he created scandal in a few towns.

S Morris Lindsey Morris is the man who gives the wayworn travelers a haven of rest ut the Gage hotel. He can carry three grips in one hand and a trunk on his back. He never uses more than one hand to carry grips—he says it costs too much. A fellow can't handle money without any hands. Frances McCormick A sunny head, That means red. Sunny smile. All the while. A little person with a big responsibility. The smile in the picture is forced—she didn’t like the way the photographer held the bird. But she has a smile and It Is not a Sunday proposition either. Frances was the editor of the graduation special, and was a very Important part of the Kyoto organization this year. Paul McCormick Who’s that Titan haired beauty? Oh. that’s I'uul McCormick, the famous Charles- ton expert. Not only that —Paul is also a soldier—a cavalryman. He made a perfect record at Cheyenne. Fell «iff every time he go! on and didn’t break his neck once. Keep up the go id work. Paul, and you won’t need a horse, you can Charleston there. 49 Gilbert McFarland ' Peck'' Mr. McFarland, more commonly known as “Deck Is one of the versatile young men of our school. Hi� records In athletics com- pare very favorably with his record in other lines. In the play S6 he played a part he has been working on for at least four years. Peck proved to lie the dark horse of the boys' tennis tournament, winning from a stiff op- ponent in the finals. John McFarux Hello Felix! Felix is John's latest pet. lia I� a cute one. John Is double jointed in all his joints excepting of course his head. Johnny is now a druggist. He sells gum drop� and castor oil with «-mu It i that John talked a man. who wanted a crutch, into buying a wooden leg instead, just the other day. Helen Malloy “Hodie joined the mighty elds� of '50 frnnv Laurel (get her to tell you about that town.) Site's a fast worker and succeeded in get- ting in the tilee flub. You should hear her sing. Her unfailing good humor and dis- position have won her a host of friends. Margaret Manley No. she Isn't manly—she's very effeminate —yes. very much so. She has a pleasing personality and she either likes you or she doesn't like you. For five years now she's had her mind made up about her future, but her goal Is a codege education—not matri- mony. She's as fine a girl as you’ll find anywhere. Osborne McIntyre That name is synonymous with the math shark. Oaburne can calculate the distance to the moon in eight minutes and run there in nine. He's a track man. lie say� he doesn’t keep track of the number of times he runs around each night. It makes him tired to think of It. Keep up the good work. ( sl� ornc.

She could writ poetrv in that language Marian lost about a ha if a year in the beginning of her career, but she soon made that up. It must lie great to have two bright ones In the same family. Marie Mooney He sure you say ’Mooney ’ and not ’’Moody —there is no relationship. Marie 1ms beautiful brown hair and a winning smile. 1 luring her senior year Marie took a brace—a moral one—and now she Is being graduated by carrying seven subjects. She Is passing in them with good grades too. Warren Morrow We hear that Warren I going o start a bank at Ycgen. with the money ho made on the school .saving system' 1« that true Warren? At any rate he has done a lot to keep the Hillings bank from becoming sol- vent and If he continues In the banking business he will make a success of it, we are sure! Marcella Movius Horrors of horrors! ! We saw' Marietta on the rimtv k.i with a boy one Sunday It's true we saw It. That doesn’t keep her from getting A’� regularly. When the teach- ers are sick the substitute lets Marcella as- sign The French lesson. She was thinking of something else when she assigned it—It was onJy enough for a Week t’heer up Teacher is lank now'. Marcella was vale- dictorian of our class. Mildred Moore MeJIu They used to arcum Milly of baby talk. Hut «tie's out-grown that now Milly has an engaging personality and along with that she has a lot of real ability. With her experience she should dance the Turmoil or some interpretive dance with that mean- ing very well. At the date of the publica- tion the sun is shining and all Is well with Milly. Louise Moots If one wrote a paragraph on quietness 11 would fit Louise exactly She holds her- self so much in reserve that we could not find out much about her disposition only that she Is quite amiable Louise Is a g. d student and has many friends in B. H. S. V51. Maynard Mulder How's the weather up there now? May- nard Uves on a plane that in several feet higher than the test of us. We have seen hJm driving a new ear around, and we won- der where he made the raise. He used to sell shoes ar Garrison-Keene's. We also hear that he works late Into the night. Mae Nelson This young girl Is one of the sjfCfft won- ders of the world. She ran rogd her own shorthand after It Is cold. You agree now We don’t know where she coroes from, hut she has a quaint southern drawl that charms her hearers. Joseph O’Brien Who will ever know why Jnsenh didn't display his talent In Hillings In l aur«d he was a yell-leader His mind, it seems, has turned to other things. His Interest is In the army now When Joseph Is commander- in-chief of the army of the united States, he says he will make the soldiers wear sailor pants. He has an extreme fondness for them. Andrew Oieh He has a hug. It is not the crawling kind, hut a radio hug. This hug doesn't slow him up on the cinder track. On the contrary, maybe the bite speeds him up. Andy ex- cels in manual training and mechanical drawing This, however, does not conclude his accomplishments for he is a talented violin player. tSo the neighbors say!) Ruth Nickey Ruth is efficiency personified. Anyone who believes that a woman can’t handle business affairs should know Ruth. Ruth is also a girl athlete, and a firm exponent in the belief that girls are entitled to the gym on Thursday. Wednesday. Monday. Tuesday and Friday nights. Ruth helped coach girls' basket I aII this year. She was president of the Girls' Uettgue and a big factor in that organisation. Bertha Noe The next member of this great collection of ability and talent to sorrowfully (?) take her leave of these sheltered halls of wisdom and go out Into the cruel, cruel world is Bertha Noe. Bertha Is quiet, usually, but she has a hidden desire for excitement or why then does she take so many chances of being lute'.' She sometimes loses and gets a tastefully decorated little •telegram.' H.-rtha likes ’em. Lucille Pensis Kconorobs’' is her middle name. She knows all about the distribution of wealth, altho she says she never had much to dis- tribute. One question aw to Interest brought forth many answers and one was, When a girl's pretty, the boys take an Interest in her.” Bessie Pi e-laet Another teacher. We don’t know whether Bessie is going to give a course In l atin, French, Tiddly Winks or hearts, but what- ever she teaches somebody will learn a great deal about It. Bessie hasn't wasted her time in school, you can depend on that. She knows that blue berries are red when they are green and no one can tell her different. 12 Dexter Porter Dexter Ii� not fitting himself for the part of a French cook, although he appear in that role in all the masquerades, lie is going to be an engineer.

Frances Ralston Everyone thought France was so quiet and hashful but what we heard—She plays a mandolin also! Frances holds a girls' record in Math. She lasted three years and never flunked once. That'� a rare combi- nation of brains and more brains. Frieda Redding “Did you hoar that sweet song?” That’ not Frieda, but her victrola. which she won at the mush meet. “Frltx has pipe dreams —don't misunderstand—she dn-nfiut of being « 1 1 pe organist.

Nellie Rest ad Nellie just returned to us after a trip to Europe, as a stenographer. We certainly missed her—but it is not so had—she went in the piny. “Not to the Swift The title of the pay is misleading because we know that Nellie is swift when It comes to short- hand and typewriting. Florence Rexford Perhaps stenographers aren't unusual, but � • 1 headed ones are. Florence Is going to he a stenographer. She cam - to Hillings high school from Hastings. Nebraska.

Harry Ryan Harry entered into the field of higher learning in the fall of 11 21. at Molt high school. His sophomore and junior years were spent at Columbus high, but knowing the finish the Hillings high school gave, he came here to become a welcome member of the 1! 2K class. Always kind (like all the Irish i seemed to be his motto; and from the first he had a large circle of friends in Billings high. Madeline Schobert “Five foot two—eyes of blue.’’ Well she's five-foot-two and her eyes are blue And what’s more, she can do the Charleston, too. Sh can also play the pIrho Her main ambition Is to become a member of an orchestra. Altho her hair is curly and bobbed, she wears hairpins and if she lost on® she would stop a freight train to look for It. Frank Schuster Frank Schuster is tall enough to be an Abraham Lincoln, smart enough to be a TCIopsI and fast enough to be a Nurmi. Es- pecially dot's h - shine in the latter. He was one of the best trackmen in the high school during the past few years. Marguerite Shea Marguerite has never been seen In an ill humor, or angry. One of her teachers said once that when Marguerite did a thing she did it very thoroughly and could always be depended upon. This unusual girl lives at Shepherd and sh - says she has very good times out there. There is a reason for that, too. Her brother lives there—so she says. m a| I jp[- p tA M Edward Shields One Kiri said she tin night that Rtf. was a I way a trying to «'harleston.

She must have «aught him on an off «lay, for there was brains behind Im-t we have seen of bis work. John Smith It’s really too bad that a man of his ability was named John Smith. That name is almost common. John Is another banker. Thru his efforts in the savings system, he got himself a position in one of the IochI i anks. John came from Park «’ity. but that shouldn't keep him down. Miriam Skipp Brown eyes why are you blue? Because she can’t In� In Hhephcrd while she� at school. Miriam was very prominent in pub- lic speaking and it has been prophecied that she will be a great playwright. Edith Smith another Smith, but quit - different from the ynes mentioned before.

She left us at Christmas time after she had gathered the required amount of punches on her card. She made a remarkable record during her 3 1-2 years In B. H.

One of the Kx-Chequer � best supporters, he never let the name down on anyone’� shoe tops. His flying trips to the reserva- tion will never be forgotten by those who rode with him. He Is one of that famous Thirtieth Street Gang and that tail� us of his merits. He has hosts «if friends that will remember him as a real feWow. Dale Stark A man of few words, a good worker. We don't know any scandal about him but If he Is like our average his clone friends cotiId probably give us plenty of P� T e'’ about him. He is a staunch believer that If his left hand were to be cut off. his right hand would be left. Me won’t even listen to contrary arguments on the subject. Alvin Stiles Yea Billings?” That came from Stiles at Boatman. Alvin was a prominent rooter In the Billings sec- tion at Bozeman. He made expenses while in Bozeman by selling notions to the college students. Alvin I� a loyal supporter of II. H. S. Mary Stone Mary came to Billings from I'ark City, which was their loss and our gain. Since sh« has been in high school she has prominent In debate, declarn and Kyote.

Robert Stoner Another Bearcat! Bob played the fiddle In that noted organization. Bob was the host to the Kyoto o ass at the Custer Battle- field and a royal host he was. He was one of our editors and we hear he Is a shark at Physics, t«� o. Marie Stow We couldn't fiml out a great deal about Marie, except that she expects to be a teach- er. Marie seems to be very popular with the opposite sex. Sophie Suchy Sophie ramp to the IT. K. front Poland, from Now York to Montana, from Srohy to Billings. She ought to write a hook Around tin World In Eight Days” or something of that sort. Sophie is working her way thru school.

To prove this, the first tear they captured an honor when one of their members won the scholarship cup given by the Business and Pleasure Club. They not only showed their ability in dramatics, but have produced some very workable athletic material. I lie class of 21 has also shone in social life.

At the beginning of the term the freshmen girls were told the secrets of success in B. H.

Fred '1'. Davus, Coach Coming to Hillings High directly from the University of Montana, where he starred in athletics. Coach Daylis has each year developed a team of which Hillings is proud. Two championships and two close championships in four years of football— a sixth place, a fourth, a third place and this year the championship in basketball is his record. Last year he placed third in the state track meet with two men—one being a high point man. He has placed Billings in her old time place in Montana athletic circles. He has been a leader in school spirit and a leader to the men under him; he has never thought of himself personally and has given in these last four years the hest he possibly could. To him Billings High owes much. He came to us at a time when the tide was low. He hrought to us championships and honors never before obtained. Hillings athletics have been successful under his leadership and he has been very successful in his work. His aim does not stop at having championship teams. He i? at all times an ex- ample for his athletes to follow—he never asks them to do what he himself doesn’t do. He has taught the men under him a great rule in life—hit hard, play the game rquarcly, to he gentlemen on the gridiron and off. and on the floor and off. Billings High will lose him some day when he will take up his work in higher fields and unril then we cannot over estimate his true position in our hearts and in the school athletic activities. 76 Standing, li-ft to right Glllun, mnrutg« r.

Daylis started to build a team which would understand football. The success of the season was remarkable. With a comparatively small team, he won straight victories from Wyoming and Montana high schools. I he Montana State College Freshmen took the long end of a 6-0 score, giving Billings her only defeat. The championship of eastern Montana was taken from the clutching hands of Glendive after they had defeated Miles. The game was hard fought and clean. The score surprised even the most hopeful of the Billings followers. The championship game at Butte on Thanksgiving Day gave a fitting ending to a season of thrills and victories. It was said by many critics to he the greatest inter- scholastic game ever to he play ed in the tate. With the score 27-20 and one minute and a half to go. the Orange and Black warriors went 90 yards for a touchdown that brought a championship out of seeming defeat. Great halls and Billings were joint holders of Montana’s highest gridiron rank, each receiving trophies and gold footballs. On ardage, Billings had the best of it. hut championship games cannot he granted on the yardage. Great Falls had a remarkable team and we were glad to have shared honors with them.

H. S. for his fight. His work, although not spec- tacular. has been very consistent. He Is a small man and very seldom did he meet an opponent his size. He has been a leader on the football field, a leader in school and Hillings high school will miss his fighting spirit next year. In the Great Fall game he played the Great Falls center and captain an even game although outweighed several pounds. He received honorable mention from Mr. Scott In his all-state selections. FRAWFt )R1) Bf 'KKTT JIMMY GIL,I,AN There is one person, who although a mem- ber of the squad. didn t win a gold foot ha II this year like the rest of the team, who dld- not even have a chance to play one quarter this year like the rest of the team, who did team every game. That’s Jlni Gillan. orr field manager. Jim is a last year's all-stato tackle, who was ineligible this year. Much credit must be given to him due to the fart that he put forth the l st efforts possible in solving the field problems. He was on hand at any time and could easily con- sidered the most valuable man with the team. The financial managership this year, tell to Cocke11 as a reward for his business ability. The responsibilities and worries of the job were carried and put over by him. Many hours after school and on Saturdays he worked, not noticed. He is the type that does his work without expecting the praise and cheering given to the players. Only Mr. Forrfe and Foaeh Pay I is know about his work and application and they assured us of his success as a manager. 78 WRKFORI� CHAHFUE.

WILLARD I'HT I ht was the biggest and most powerful mail on the squad. He played guard und taek • last year and this year found him again fighting for a position In the Olen- di e game and the championship. his work made him one of the outstanding guards on I he squad. He is lwick next year and R. H. S. looks to him as one «.f the eleven hopes for the li� 2fi title. EfOENE RKi:MAN. Uuard. 3rd All-State ne of the bent guards In the state this year and two more years to go.” tells a long story for this rugged lad Last year he played In the backfiehl but this year with an abundance of Iuk kfield men he was shifted to guard. He Is '•tough” and a fighter, thus possessing the essential qualities of a foot- ball player. His playing was not noti.al.lv specta, u ar. altho of type which make’s championship tennis. He won a place on the official all-state team. With two more years ‘Sticky' should make history in Hillings high athletics. JAMES HIRST. Sub-Tackle Not much difference could be seen by the si� ectator in the playing of Hirst and the regular tackles. He proved to be a depend- able substitute and broke Into almost every game where he played in varsity style Hirst goes out this year, leaving the record of having Iwen a clean player and a true fighter peck McFarland. End McFar and placed on Scott's third all-state team last year as an end. This year back in moleskins, found him even better than before His ability to catch passes and tack- ling. made him an outstanding wing man. He comeH from a family of grid men all who have played for it H S. and he upheld the fight shown by his brothers. He placed on several all-state teams this year, includ- ing Scott's official third all-state. GLYDK ( ARFENTER. Halfback The type of a Iwck that hr I rites thrills to a crowd. His running features, hi playing, while he I� a'an a Very strong defensive back Against opponents this year, he has gained a name that will l� e remembered. He Is rugged, fast, shifty and a fighter. This Is his last year of football in Hillings High, but much Is expected of him In college athletic . Hi playing against I ewlstown and Glendive and in the championship game, marks him as a halfhack of which Hillings is proud. HOWARD ALLISON A true type of a fighting football player He Is quiet and modest. Earnestness and pluck made him a gi� od guard. He was always ready to take someone's place and give his best. He was one of coach I aylls' most valuable reserve men. He was a fighter for Hillings High—what more can we say � FARRELL GRIFFIN For four years Griffin has been in Killings uniform. He has taken the knocks like a man and this year was a center that could be depended upon at any time. He broke into almost every game for a half and held down the captain's place In great style. JOHN KENNEDY A sophomore. He made this year's squad and is a bright prospect for future elevens. Against Glendive. Kennedy took a regular end' pace and filled It well. As a half- back he is first string material and H. H. S. looks to him as a future all-state man. HARRY VON K8THEN One of the fastest men ever In Billtn ,s uniform. Handifap I by lack � f weight. Von Gschen broke Into the limelight many times during the past two years by his spec- tacular runs an� l heady defensive work. Me was slowed down this year because of the number of games played on a muddy field, but made up for it In the last two games. He will be graduated this year, leaving ad- miring memories with his classmate� . RAUPH HAWKINS. Guard Ia� 1 year Hawkins was a good man. but this year l y his determination and fight, he placed his hundred and thirty pounds next to center, held off und outfought men twice h� « � i o. He is a fast, charging guard. Run- ning interference was another strong tmbhv nr Ids. He Is hack next year and is expected to !� . even a greater sensation than he was the past season. BURTON HP;R(I. Tackle Berg, another new man. played his position in veteran style. His tackling and aggress- iveness were strong features on the line and his ever ready smile proved a constant worry to opposing linemen. He proved to be one of the year's finds and next year will see him again in moleskins fighting in a style that is characteristic of him. WCK J0HRPH80N. End A very good end. handi- capped by lack of sixe. he proceeded to be a star al- ways at the right time, riis ability to catch pass- es showed up exception- ally well in the (Rendive game. Again In the cham- pionship game he «-might two passes which tied the score when Hillings stock was selling at a margin of one hundred to a hob- in a doughnut. His de- fensive was good, « spec- ially in l he Klein game. He was given an honor- able mention this year on Scott's all-state team. - RAYMOND LYON. Fullback A student of the name. In his first year of foot hall for Billings High he came to the front a one of Hillings best prospects for future athletic honors. His playing in the Glendive gain, was phenomenal and had he had a chance in the hist battle he would have easily made an all-state position. He was declared ineligible Just before the Fall s game and watched that last climax from the side lines. Next year will rind him again In moleskins. •‘DUTCH” PIPPIN Pippin, pride of the freshman class, played sub-quarter and half this year. He has three more years of football. His clever running and adaptation to football should make him u very valuable man to Coach Daylls in future years. OSCAR SMART Smart was another new man to be in a Hillings uniform this year. He is expected to take the tackle position next year, left vacant by Chappie. He is the quid type of athlete, but plays a good game of football. PAULIS NORTH. Sub-End North has two more years to gain fame in Montana athletics. He played u mmI football this year wherever he broke Into a game.

OTHER MEN Besides the regular squad there are some men who reported for football practice every evening; who attended every chalk talk and who did everything in their power to make the season of 2S a success.

H«rKh rm BASKETBALL 1926 Billings high school has just enjoyed the most successful season in basketball. With the same team as last year, with the exception of one—John Lewis, and all- Rock) Mountain Forward and captain of the ’25 team. Daylis built a machine that would do credit to any high school. Going through a very successful season, losing only to Helena. Butte, Hardin, and Sheridan and taking one game or more from each of these teams, Billings entered the state tournament as favorites. I he tournament proved even easier than was expected. Billings won even game by a fifteen point margin and was judged the best team to play at a state tourney, in five years. After winning the state title the team was s?nt to Chicago to the University of Chicago's Annual National Interscholastic Tournament. Billings drew Fitchburg. Massachusetts, the national champs, in the first game and after leading them for a half, dropped the game in the last quarter. The next game was with Hagerstown, Maryland. Billings won 32-26 and the last game with the Latter Day Saints from Salt Lake City, Utah, was lost 38-25. Billings made a good showing with the best competition in the nation. hour all-state men were developed: Bergherm. all-state center for two years; Linville, all-state forward; Carpenter, second all-state guard; Worthington, second all-state guard. It was a team of fine good men—each a good shot and a good floor man.

He was picked as all-state center in the 1925 tournament and again in the 1926 tournament. He was awarded the Kiwanis sportsmanship medal in the district tournev. Coolness, consistency, and fight marked his playing in every game. His friendline-s and spirit will be missed in the halls of the school for which he has done so much. DfiWAYNE L1NVILLE, f orward, All-State Another star in our athletic circles picked as all-district forward and then as all- state forward, who also made a record. He was given honorable mention for all- Rocks Mountain guard at the Rocky Mountain tournament held at Greeley, Colorado, in 1925. Fight, earnestness, and sacrifice marked his plas. He was high point man at the district meet and again at the state meet. He was given much favorable com- ment by the sportswriters. He finishes this year, leaving a record and mans friends. CLYDE CARPENTER, Guard A rugged guard. Picked as one of the best guards at the 1926 tournament and given a place on the official second all-state team. He is a fighter and in many games he and his mate pulled victory out of seeming defeat. He was a headv and fast guard, and a good dribbler with a good eye on the basket. He played consistent basketball on the defense and appeared very spectacular many times in the offense. He has given much towards our athletic record and we have been well satisfied with his playing and application. MAX WORTHINGTON, Guard Worthington and his mate, formed the best pair of guards seen here in many years. He was chosen as second all-state guard at the state tournament. He is a fighter and has always been noticed for his aggressiveness. He was equally good on the offense because of his eye for the bottomless sack. He has another year in basket- ball and great things are expected from him. DICK JOSEPHSON “The Terrible Swede” gained fame by saving the championship for Daylis grim machine at Butte on Thanksgiving Day. When the flashy McFarland was declared ineligible, Dick took the forward job. He is fast and has a good eye for the hoop. After taking a regular position, he rapidly improved until he became one of the leading forwards in the state. He is the fight}', conscientious type of athlete. He was an honorable mention man in football. “RED” KENNEDY “Red” is referred to as the “Red Grange” of our basket floor. John is only a sophomore this year and promises to he an athlete of renown before graduating. He is expecting to fill in the center vacancy left by Bergherm this year. He is fast and heady. The ability to do the right thing at the right time makes him a valuable man in any brand of athletics. He is a very good football, track and basketball man. “CAP GRIFFIN Once again Cap Griffin has made an athletic team, after four years of consis- tent work. “Lap is pla ing sixth man this year and in him. Coach has a dependable guard to take regular’s place at any time. Coupled with his hard work and natural ability, his faculty for dropping in long shots, makes him a guard worthy of mention. Besides the seven members on the championship squad, there are others who have sacrificed their time and energy for the interests of Billings high school. To them should go considerable credit for developing the first seven. In future years some of them will be stars. 1 hey are “Dutch' Pippin. Ralph Hawkins. Paul North. George Redfern, all underclassmen, aqd Crawford Beckett, a senior, and a member of the squad for the last two years. “peck McFarland Sitting with the spectators at Bozeman during the last state tournament, was one who early in the season was the outstanding forward in the state. He was declared ineligible at the beginning of the second semester. He was a star on the floor and a star on the bench. He was a third all-state man for two years and we are confident he would have been an all-state basketball man this year. Kennedy Crirrin Unville Carpenter Day 11m. coach TRACK After a successful football and basketball season. Coach Daylis issued a call for track candidates. About thirty men reported. The squad was cut to ten and practice was underway for about three weeks. Linvillc, Griffin. Oien.

The purpose of the league is to give every interested hoy a chance at athletics. The league is divided into two classes, A and B. according to height and weight. Medals are given to individuals on the winning teams and the name of the team is engraved upon the permanent cup left in school. Ten teams took part in the tourna- ment this year, seven in the A league and three in the B league. 'IVam 2 in the A division won in their division. The team was composed of Peck McFarland, Paul North, Clem Cormier, George Smith, George Murray, Harrvman M ains and Everett Wright. Team 1 won in the B league. The players were Joe Cormier, Rodger Graham, Neil Dixon, John McLaughlin. George Snell, and Charles Borberg. The league was under the supervision of Coach Daylis and managed by a student. James Gillan. Lester Epperly and Philip McCormick were score keepers. Peck McFarland and Frank Burke refereed the games. HOYS’ TENNIS C I.UH l'he annual high school tennis tournament that is held each spring under the sponsorship of the tennis club, is about to start. All students who wish to may enter. The tournament in previous years has proved very successful. Last year John Lewis emerged victor. Previous winners are: Jack Hill, Bruce Duncan and Jack Powers. The tennis tournament was launched by the organizing of the club, and each member paid a small registration fee. A trophy was presented for the winner by Fortney-Pease. Each contestant drew a number for his opponent in the first round of the tournament. When a player was defeated once, he was eliminated from the tournament. This method was used throughout the tournament to determine the winner. In the semi-tinals Peck McFarland defeated Don Williams, and Chuck Bergherm defeated Jack Hill. Peck McFarland defeated Chuck Bergherm in the finals. The set games were 1-6, 6-3. 6-4, 6-3. Max: Look sleepy «I. csn't he? Well he woke up long ago and he refused to lit eg tight napping at Hutu-.

Sponsor GIRLS’ LEAGUE COUNCIL The Girls' League, composed of all the girls in high school, was organized six years ago for the purpose of creating more interest and co-operation among the girls. I fie interest of the club has been steadily growing and this year has been one of the most successful years in its histon. The governing body of the League is called the Girls’ Council. Each semester one representative is elected from each roll room ex- cept 104 and A. which roll rooms have two representatives each. The council meets once each week. Early in the first semester hiking clubs were organized by the league and various teachers sponsored them. A “kid party” was also given during the first semester primarily to help all the new girls to become acquainted. At Christmas time a very interesting program was sponsored hv the League. I fit most important thing accomplished hv the League this year was the carry- ing out of a plan last year—that of initiating the First Midland Empire Girls’ Vo- cational Conference. This conference was held in the high school auditorium March 18. 19 and 20, under the auspices of the Girls’ League. Five hundred girls were in attendance, which included 60 delegates from outside towns. Many splendid addresses were given and every girl felt that she had gained a great deal by being able to attend. GIRLS’ CONI'KRKNCK Under the auspices of the Girls’ League, a new event was initiated into Billings high school this year, the first Annual Midland Empire Girls' Vocational Conference. I he Midland Empire extends through the ten northern counties of Wyoming on the south. Glendive, Montana, on the East, Roundup. Montana, on the north and Living- ston, Montana, on the West. Invitations were extended to girls in every high school in this area. Out of ninety high schools, sixteen were represented and a delegation of fifty-nine out of town girls attended the sessions of the meeting. Following are the towns that were represented and the number of girls from each: Belfry, eight; Custer, two; Worden, two; Polytechnic, two; Red Lodge, three; Shepherd, six; Acton, two; Sidney, six; Ahsarokee, six; Howard, two; Lambert, one; Broadview, four; Roberts, four; Ingomar, two; Hardin, one; Edgar, eight. As this was the first meeting of its kind in Billings High, the representation was excellent. Much credit for its success is due Mrs. C. I). Wiggenhorn, Miss Jeanette Clark, sponsor, and Ruth Nickey, president of the council.

Mildred K uekford, Pauline Kell, Dorothy 'araway On account of the unusual weather this year, the Girls’ Tennis Club was organ- ized early in February. Many enthusiasts entered and the tourney was started with 64 participants. Drawings were made and elimination games were played. Caroline Babcock, who defeated Mildred Blackford by a 6-1, 9-7 score, played Margaret Riscoe, who won her way into the semi-finals in her frame, defeating Louise Blackford by a 5-7, 6-1 score. The final game was between Caroline Babcock and Marguerite Roscoc, and proved very evenly matched. The score was 6-2, 6-0 in Caroline's favor. Caroline is a freshman this year, and has the honor of being the first freshman girl to win the tennis championship. Much interest was shown in the tournament, and it was reported that many of the games were the best played in B. H. S. tennis circles for a number of seasons. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Girls' basketball has been very successfully sponsored this year by the Beta Kappa literary society. Instead of having a professional coach, six experienced giris were elected from this club to have charge ot the girls. Those who coached are: Ruth Nickey, Louise Black- ford. Georgia Stripp, Doris Halverson, Minnie Bain, and Bonita Worthington. Over fifty girls “turned out” for basketball and practiced every Tuesday and 'Thursday after school. There was especial enthusiasm among the underclassmen. From each class a team was chosen. At the latter part of the school year a tournament was held to decide the champions of the school. The freshman team played the sopho- more team and defeated them by a score of 15-10. 'The junior- senior game had a final score of 16-2 in favor of the seniors. This outcome of scores resulted in a game between the two winners and the two losers. The seniors and freshmen played a very exciting game in which the final score of 10-8 rendered the seniors the champions. The sophomore-junior game was als:) very close but the sophomores were victorious when the whistle blew on the score of 12-10. Krancp M«' 'orniifk. Nettle Keefe. Minnie Bain.

They made their first appearance at a pep assembly and taught the student body the new pep song, “Fight.” They next sang at the noon luncheons of the Kiwanis, Lions and Rotary clubs, respectively. At Christmas they presented a Christmas cantata before the Woman’s club, the Baptist church, and at a high school assembly. A group of numbers was rendered at a Parent-Teachers’ association meeting by the club. However, their first real concert was given at the Congregational church in February. This was the first public appearance with the new blue and white costumes. They entered the district music meet here in a contest with the Fromberg Girls’ Glee club. The next presentations were at the Methodist church and the I. O. O. F. hall. On May 20 to 21, an operetta entitled “Sylvia,” with a cast of high school students, besides the regular members, was given at the Babcock theater.

I hey have made several public appearances and together with the Girls’ Glee Club, made a big success of “Sylvia. a musical comedy given in May, SYLVIA” The operetta “Sylvia” was presented on the evenings of May 21 and 22. in the high school auditorium by the high school glee clubs, under the direction of Miss Christine VValser, instructor of music in the Billings schools. The operetta was a musical comedy in two acts and was said to he a great success. The theme of the corned) was centered around two girls. Sylvia and Betty. A prince loved the one and a farmer the other. Both girls grew tired of their lovers and decided to change places for one day. They succeeded in deceiving their lovers but at the end of the day each one more fully appreciated her own love. Three choruses, the haymaker's chorus, the farmer’s daughters’ chorus, and the farmer lad’s chorus, were rendered b members of the glee clubs. Peggy Bay soar was the accompanist. Following is the cast: Sylvia Sir Bertram de Lacy Prince Tobbytum William Betty Arabella Polly Molly Dolly Mildred Richards Al Brown- Clarence Cahill Waverly Culp Cornelia Downs Margaret Reich Alberta Farmer Marjorie Brown Lois Wilcox SYNCOPATORS OF H. H. S. An amateur orchestra consisting of six high school students and calling them- selves the Bearcats made their debut at the first dance of the year given by the Ex- Chequer club. They became very active in the school appearing at innumerable assemblies, dances, football games, banquets, and various other school activities. While not a high school orchestra, they have generously contributed their services at assemblies, and high school activities, and because of the big part they have played toward the success of many of these things, we feel they justly deserve a place in this high school year book. Four of their members will be graduated this year. This orchestra has become one of the most successful organizations of its kind ever attempted in high school prior to this year. The personnel of the orchestra follows: Piano, Ruth Emery; Violin, Robert Stoner; Banjo, Dale Carter; Saxophone E, Tom McGinnis; Saxophone C, Wilbur Harris; Drums, Ivol Curtis. SENIOR CLASS FLAY “THREE WISE FOOLS “ i rce Wise Fools” was presented to a very enthusiastic audience on May 21 and 22 by the senior class of 26. According to all who saw the play, it was staged in a most creditable manner. The action was extremely rapid, the audience being tossed swiftly from comedy to near-tragedy in such swift succession that at the con- clusion of each act everyone gasped for breath. Always at the point of tragedy, W reford Chappie as Mr. Findley, turned chaos to comedy. Everett Terrell startled the audience with his matured sagaciousness. Delmar Aggers with his' eternal flower beds nearly drove poor “Wre insane, much to the enjoyment of the audience. And when the beautiful young heroine, Lina Caldwell, was so cruelly put out of the household, the audience found need for handkerchiefs; yet almost in the same instant Buster Brown as Gordon brought them to their feet hilarious with excitement. Bertha Duncan, Dexter Porter and Ed Shields as the servants, forgot so much and got things so twisted that they became the bane of the old men’s lives. “Crosshay” and ‘Benny the Duck” as interpreted by Charles Mason and Harold Gunn, caused the audience to cringe, and, as some one was heard to say, “shivers kept going up and down my hack,” hut they were finally put away by the “slickest detec- tives” in the state, Ted Hannan and Howard Smith. Jimmy Gillan lived up to his old “rep” as business manager, and Aaron Zacks as stage manager showed what could be done in the way of stage decorating. Miss Edna Overby, who directed the play, deserves unlimited praise and admira- tion for the way in which she so successfully produced the play. | UNIOR CLASS PLAY “Hurry, Hurry, Hurry,” the junior class play directed by Miss Edna Overby, was presented in the high school auditorium January 27 and 28. The story was based on the very peculiar will of an eccentric aunt, which stipu- lates that her pretty niece Flo (acted by Virginia Kiichli) must be affianced before she is twenty-one. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hooker (Phil Duncan and Jane Nof- singer) fail to tell Flo of the will. Mr. Hooker’s business is about to fail and Charles Gibbs as Stephen Hooker tells Flo of the will on the eve of her twenty-first birthday. Jack Crandall (Lansing MacIntyre), l ed Stone ( Philip McCormick), and Alosius Bartholemew (Knright Archer) are all suiters of Flo. Margaret Reich, as Letita Brown, does her best to entertain the suitors while Rita, the pert maid, (Mary Louise Smith) adds to the entertainment. The interest of the audience was held throughout and everyone was pleasantly surprised with the outcome of the play.

RADIO CLUB VAUDEVILLE On Friday, October 23, the Radio Club, under the leadership of Miss Lillian Abercrombie, presented their second annual vaudeville to a highly appreciative audi- ence. It was acclaimed as one of the best ever put on in the school. The opening number of the program consisted of a concert of popular numbers by the Bearcat Syn- copators, followed by a very good comedy skit by Evy 'Ferrell and Bus Brown. Then Ronald Flamm became loquacious and gave away some very deep secrets. Prof. D. W. Aggers then gave his number known as “Organ Pipes,” which was followed by a quantity of Radio Static. Livingstone Lueck and Fed Hannan next came on the stage and entertained us with some very enlightening humor. A special tumbling act was then put on by John McFarland and Lester Hazelton. 'ITiis won a great deal of ap- plause from the audience. After this two pantomimes were presented, one of which was taken from the famous story, “The Face Upon the Barroom Floor,” and the other from Service’s poem, The Shooting of Dan McGrew.” ALPHA KAPPA VAUDEVILLE The Alpha Kappa vaudeville, Saturday evening, May 8, marked the climax in the club’s activities for the semester. Mary Alice Reynolds and Mildred Moore gave several dance numbers, including “A Russian and Classical Dance.” A few of the teachers saw themselves reproduced in a “School Room Scene.” Hildred Richards and Margaret Deffebach sang several songs, the titles being “A Garden of Old Fashioned Roses,” “A Bowl of Roses,” and “Down by the Winegar Woiks.” The different dances of the periods were featured under the supervision of Mary Alice Reynolds.

A MM SMITH DEBATE The school debate team consisted of Harold Gunn, Ronald Flamm and Russell Smith, all members of the senior class. The interest in debate was unusual!} keen this year and each class was repre- sented by a greater number of entries than ever before. After a number of prelimi- nary debates, class teams were s dcted and all made a good showing for future debate teams. The senior team debated Fromberg, Forsyth, and Big Timber, but were de- feated b Belfry. DECLAM A large number of students were interested in declam, and it was a difficult task to select the final ten in the preliminary contest. In the finals held on April 29, Russell Smith won first place, and the right to enter the state contest held in connection w ith the track meet in May. Russell's sub- ject was “Yellow Butterflies,” b Andrews. Jane Chappie won second place on The Littlest Rebel,” by Edward Piper and Pherne Peterson, third place on “The Humoresque,” by Fanny Hurst. EXTEMPORANEOUS At a preliminary extemporaneous contest held February 19, 192b, ten contestants tried out for the right to represent Billings in the district contest. Russell Smith won first place, speaking on “Resolved: That All Immigration Should Be Prohibited For the Next Five Years.” Ronald Flamm won second place cn th? question, “Should Congress Regulate Child Labor” and Edward Shields, third. “Is Prohibition a Success or a Failure in the U. S. ?” Russell Smith won the district championship February 27. speaking on the ques- tion, “Are Our Present Immigration Laws Adequate?” SOCIAL LI F K SENIOR MIXER In order that each individual of the senior class might become better acquainted with his classmates, at the beginning of the year the annual Senior Mixer was held on October 24. Mildred Moore was appointed chairman of the program committee and a very pleasing entertainment was given. One of the outstanding numbers was a vocal selection rendered by Margaret Deffebach. J U NI OR SEN IOR M ASQU ERA I) E The annual Junior-Senior Masquerade was given December 18, in the high school gymnasium. 'ITiis affair proved to be one of the most interesting and enter- taining nights of the school year for the juniors and seniors. This year a new rule was added to those gmerning the occasion, which required that every person admitted must be in costume. 'Hie following received prizes: Margaret Reich, best girls costume; Jim Gillan, best boys' costume; Enright Archer, best disguised. THE FOUR-CLUB DANCE 'The four literary clubs of the high school gave their annual dance on December 22. The gym was artistically decorated in vuletide colors. With the members of the Alpha Kappa, Beta Kappa, Ex-Chequer and Hi-Lit-So sponsoring the dance, it proved to be a most gala one for the students. HONORS AND AWARDS Each year several awards and prizes are made possible thru the courtesy of va- rious organizations and benefactors of the school. The Girls’ League point system was originated last year during Harriet John- ston’s presidency of the league. In 1925 only three pins were given. This year the point system was reorganized, and the council voted to give a pin to one girl in each class who had the highest number of merits among her classmates. These girls re- ceived small gold letter “B’’ pins at the Commencement exercises, June 10. as a token from the girls’ League of recognition of their work: Freshman—Ruth Edna Dietrich. Sophomore—Georgia Stripp. Junior—Elizabeth Matheson. Senior—Ruth Nickey. 'Elie Business and Pleasure Club loving cup for the high school student maintain- ing the highest average for the school year was won b Elizabeth Matheson. Dus is the second consecutive year that Elizabeth has won this award. To encourage better scholarship in the school Mr. V. M. Johnstone, each year gives three awards of $30, $15 and $5 respectively to the three freshmen having the highest scholarship. The first prize was won by Ruth Edna Dietrich, with an average of 98.75, the second b Mary Alice Reynolds with an average of 97.5. and the third by 96.25. The D. A. R. of Billings offered a reward of a ten dollar gold piece to the student receiving the highest average in American History. This was won by Yvetta Pemberton, a junior. Catherine Anderson, a junior, was winner of first place in an essay contest for the high school in which prizes of $10 and $5 in gold were offered by Mr. E. C. Smith, a prominent Billings high school booster. Della 1 hompson, also a junior, took the $5 prize by winning second place with her essay. As a result of the contest held by the Rocky Mountain Interscholastic Press Association in November, Ronald Flamm was awarded first prize for the best feature story in the Rocky Mountain region. Many schools in the Rocky Mountain states participated and we can feel proud of Ronald for bringing to our list of honors this year one that B. H. S. has never won before. Elsie Johnson entered Billings high school at the beginning of the semester, who brought with her the honor of possessing three silver cups for being the champion speller of the Billings grade schools.

Umphrey for her efforts and advice in compiling the Kyote paper and year book. To Miss Umphrey is due full credit for the success of the Kyote and we, the staff of 1926, wish to express our appreciation of her efforts. The Editor The Kyote, our high school publication published bi-weekly, has again had a very successful year and for the third consecutive year has won the loving cup offered by the Montana Interscholastic Press Association for being the best paper in Montana. The staff, consisting of thirty selected seniors, has published seventeen issues of the paper, and published the 1926 year book. The staff, changing four times, published a six-page paper throughout the year with Crawford Beckett, Ronald Flamm, Robert Stoner, and Pearl Reid as editors. The class this year also edited five “specials” the “Thanksgiving Special,” edited by Crawford Beckett, the “Christmas Special,” edited by Ronald Flamm, the “Football Special,” edited bv Jimmie Gillan, the “Easter Special.” edited by Robert Stoner, and the “Graduation Special” edited by Frances McCormick. This book, the 1926 Kyote Annual, so very ably edited by Jack Hill, is the crowning effort of the staff. HELEN ANSPACH Literary ted I tor. Assemblies. Exchanges. Special Correspondent.

A plan of studying a modern author at every other meeting was adopted, and the club members were much benefited by the study. A very unique assemblv, which coos'sted of a “spring dance,” “baby” show, and a “Walk of Life,” a scene from “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” was presented in a most humor- ous way by the Ex-Chequer men. Another assembly to arouse pep for the district tournament was held after school, and was one of the most enthusiastically-attended assemblies ever held in B. H. S. This same evening the Ex-Chequer led a rallv from town to the gvm. The club had charge of the concession at the tournament, and turned over a larger profit than han been turned over in anv previous year. The Ex-Chequer “yell leaders” at times were called upon to lead yells, and were able to get the best out of the crowds. They held two dances during the year, one a “cabaret” affair. 122 First Mow- Huth Emery, Hdna Gorkins. f'alln Linton. ( opdahl (advisor). Earl Heddrti. Winifred 81 chic. Frances .Smith.

Club was organized in 1923, under the supervision of Miss Ella Johnston, who is the present sponsor. Its purpose was to enable girls entering the teaching profession to studv and discuss the problems that will later confront them. The members are chosen from the normal training classes and now the membership consists of thirty-six girls. The Y. F'„ S. club presented a clever pla at a Christmas assembly, sent a delegate to the vocational conference at Bozeman, sold tickets for the Chicago fund and contrib- uted to the fund to send representatives to Kalispell. They were the originators of the popular taffy sales. The girls adopted pins this sear for the first time. This society closes this year’s activities with the reputation of being a club with a real worthwhile purpose. 124 C i-1 I'.R heart resounds now, Qj to the great task which that ill-fated regiment accomp- lished— that of instilling the spirit of “Conquer or Die” into the com- ing fighters. It is this same spirit of overcoming all obstacles sown into the minds of those to follow— which has built up for us our great west. CLASS HISTORY While it was yet the year of 1922. and Father Nvc still sat upon his thron- in the Mount of Lincoln. Hermes, the swift messenger, was sent from the Hall of Ad- ministration down to thos? mortals below who hold confined within massive walls the very young, and who prepare them for entrance to the great temple of knowledge known as Billings High. 'Jims spoke the wearer of the winged sandals: “Haste ye, for the golden autumn is at hand, the time wherein ye must send thy young recruits to the temple of knowledge. Haste ye! Make them read) ! Let them start without delay !M Whereupon did Hermes return swiftly unto the Mount of Lincoln to see what further errand should await him. Then did Father Nye commend him for his swift- ness and send him off forthwith to Mr. Dietrich, the great guardian of the temple of knowledge, to bid him prepare for the coming of this youthful band now full two hundred strong. And Mr. Dietrich spied Hermes as h came, and bade him come within, and gave him meat and drink. And when he had ended his meal, he asked him of his errand. So Hermes told him that he was come to herald the arrival of a mighty band of searchers for knowledge known by the name of Freshmen. And Mr. Dietrich was rejoiced to learn how fine a band would soon be num- bered among his own searchers for wisdom in the temple. Yea, broad indeed was his smile as he threw open the doors of 104 and made welcome the oncoming horde. And they were all very happy. But when the rejoicing was over, Ir. Dietrich spoke among them: “Hear me, strangers, that 1 may speak as my spirit bids me. To win the rewards of this temple, ye must go upon four long and difficult journeys. Now. first ye must go to Ithaca wherein is a mighty mountain of studies, to reach whose lofty summit it will be necessary to cleave thy way through forests more dense than thou hast ever known before, whose branching trees with trembling leaves stand manifest to view. Grudge not the fulfillment (if this task but cut thy way through these trees. This done, straight way set out for the land of the lotus-eaters who eat a flowery food. But tarry not here for those who do eat of the lotus will become forgetful of their purpose, forgetful of all they have ever learned and will advance no farther. Sail onward and ye will come to the land of the Cyclops, monsters who dwell in hollow caves on the crests of the high hills. When ye have overcome these one-eyed mon- sters who devour both men and beasts, «ail ye thence to the land of the Sirens, who bewitch all men with their clever, enchanting song. But do ye drive thy ships past lest ye also become enchanted. When ye have conquered all these giants and over- come all these difficulties, return to this temple of knowledge. As a reward for thy hardships ye shalt receive diplomas, the evidence of thy achievements. So spake he and Carpenter, their leader, answered him, saying. “Lo, we are wanderers seeking for wisdom. We will overcome these obstacles and return to thee in four years The listeners applauded this speech with vigor. So Carpenter again spake: “My worthy friends, George Breck, Jane Chappie and Betty Jackron, do ye ready for our departure. Let us go at once. It was but a short time until, lo, they spied the longed-for land of Ithaca. Taking their axes they departed from the shore and came to the mountain of studies con- cerning which they had been told by Mr. Dietrich, the guardian of the temple of knowledge. Loudly rustled the leaves on the Algebra, Latin, History and English nt trees, giants of the forest which must he cut down before they could make their way through. They joyfully fell to work to hew their way through this might) forest. Nor were their labors in vain for when many days had passed and it was springtime again, all their enemies had been slain and they were now read to take up the second stage of their journey, which should bring them to the land of the lotus eaters. Then Mr. Dietrich commended their prowess, said they were now to he called Sophomores. But before they left Ithaca, they rested and had games in which Vir- ginia Smith, Ivol Curtis and Russell Smith won victories in debate. Carpenter was weary for his native land and wasted himself in tears. Thus he became but a weak and hopeless leader. Wherefore, his companions left him at Ithaca and after three months continued on their way to the land of the Lotus-eaters. It will be remembered that this country offered a great temptation, the sleep-producing lotus flower, and the need for a leader became very great. So they asked the god to show them a sign, and a sign he declared unto them, and bade them choose Russell Smith as leader. It was done. And his able friends Jane Chappie, Mildred M � ore, and Pearl Reid were chosen as helpers for him, to aid him and share his cares and responsibilities. Thence they sailed onward stricken at heart because of the loss of some of their cem rades. a few of whom had ruccumbed to a dead pestilence known as laziness, yet glad for the success of their first journey. When at last the grain was ripe in the fields, they set foot on the lands of the lotus-eaters. Then straight way the went and mixed with the men of the island. They were very cautious and all but a few heeded the warning not to cat of the lotus and part«w k only of the fruits of the shrubs of Caesar, Geometry, and English. So passed the year in good work! And now the trumpet sounded and Mr. Dietrich proclaimed feasting and games for all who wished to contend. The participants for the declamatory contest gath- ered and it was Ivol Curtis to whom the first prize was given. And Zeus and the other gods in the might) heavens decreed that our leader, Russell Smith, and two people of the land of the Sirens would lead all the state in debate. Mr. Dietrich next announced the games in which they should show their skill. The basketball honors were given unto “Chuck” Bergherm and the youthful “Bud” Linville. Feasting and rejoicing followed. Then again the wanderers launched their ships and set forth. Three months they rowed, and in the fall they came to a more difficult land to conquer, the home of the Cyclops. Now Rusty Smith made fast his ships to the rocks and went to meet the one-eyed monsters. They trailed them to a cave where the Cyclops, Chemistry. Solid Geometry and Cicero were sleeping. These youthful comrades now known to mortals as Juniors, outwitted these giants b strategy, put out their eyes and returned in triumph to their friends. This proved to he so mighty a conquest that it was deemed fitting that a great celebration be held. In the games that followed, many men were proclaimed heroes by their leader Rusty Smith, and his helpers, Wreford Chappie, Bonita Cady, Harr Snyder and Clara Williams. In the contests, Jane Chappie won honors in declamation, while Russell Smith was proclaimed victor in extemporaneous speaking. They donned unusual garments and danced and made merry at a great mas- querade hall. Their supplies became low and to replenish them they gave a play and it was called, “The Charm School.” Great multitudes assembled to witness this play, and they brought much money so that their coffers were well filled and all rejoiced. V They then held a great feast in honor of their friends, dwellers in the land of the Sirens who were about to depart forever from the temple of knowledge. I his festival took place at the Northern Hotel. Dancing followed the feast and «all made merry until the hour was late. And the newspaper said. An enjoyable time was had by all.” Meanwhile the good ships quicklv came to the island of the Sirens, for a gentle breeze sped them on their way. 1 hen the company rose up and drew' in the ships sails and rowed to the shore. The Sirens spied the sw ift ships speeding toward them, and they raised their clear toned song. But the sailors put wax in their ears arid conquered these Sirens of Civics, Physics, Virgil, and Kyotc. A few of the band took out the wax and were charmed by the sweet voices. The natives of the land worshipped them for their bravery and bade Rusty and bis comrades. Clara Williams. Wreford Chappie, and Ruth Nickey and all the seventy and one hundred others, come to the feast they had prepared for them. 1 hev set meats and costly wines before them. Mr. Dietrich and other great orators spoke much and they spent many hours in dancing. And in return for all these honors. Rusty and his friends gave still another play, “ I he 1 hree W is? Pools. All the multitudes there assembled applauded long and loud and did proclaim the play a great success. Then Mr, Corrie came to them and began to speak among them, saying: “Now thy labors are over. Let us rejoice, l t us go forth and have contests and games.” Thereupon they rose up and arranged them in their harness. Rusty and his men being twelve and they gained the state championship in football. Not wishing to he out done, Charles Bergherm gained great strength and led to victory his six men. four of whom were of Rusty’s hand and the rest dwellers in the land of the lotus- eaters. And they were chosen to represent the orange and black at Chicago. More contests followed with Russell Smith. Ronald Flamm, and Harold Gunn leading in the battle of words in the debate. Jane Chappie and Rusty Smith were victorious in the fast declamatory race, while Rusty again overthrew his enemies in extemporaneous. The Kyote, composed of these so-called seniors, made the best record in the state. They received much gum as their reward. Then Mr. Corrie spoke among them again: “I would not have ye abide in this temple longer. For ye must go on vet another j urney, even to greater difficulties and trials.” But Rusty was sore troubled to hear such things, and wept aloud saving: “Who shall guide us in this journey? Then said Mr. Corrie, “Seek no guide; only raise the masts of thy ships and spread the white sails. So shall the winds carry ye to all places in all professions. “Then let them not delay for in the year 1926, they shall again set sail. They are sad at heart for this band shall not continue on its way together. Some will seek higher temples of knowledge in other lands and others will go to lands unknown, but they will all he guided by the motto, Dtrds. not words.

Written by Alice Talgo Harry Von Eschen Clarence Connell Supervised by Miss Gertrude Whipple TOMAHAWK TALK Many summrs have come and gone since the custom of passing the tomahawk to the succeeding tribe, originated. This very aged custom is a means of showing our good will and interest in the tribe which is to follow us. I he tomahawk symbolizes conquest; by conquest we mean the overcoming of the obstacles and difficulties encountered in securing an education. We, the tribe of 1926, have met, and to a certain degree, surmounted these hardships and would, by this symbol, give to the coming class, the benefit of our experiences. This class, which, during its freshman, sophomore, and junior years, has main- tained consistently high, and, we believe, worthwhile standards, has thereby indicated to us that they are now ready to have conferred upon them the honor of receiving this traditional symbol. 1 o you, then, class of 1927, we leave this sign of conquest. Jane Chapple Ruth Nickey Supervised by Mr. C. Opdahl r VALEDICTORIAN’S ADDRESS “KNOW THYSELF” By Marcella Movius Someone has said that each individual has three personalities; the personality that those about him think him to be, what he thinks he is and the man that he really is. Too many persons are concerned with the personality that the outside world sees, and are endeavoring to live up to the ideal that they would like others to think them to be. Tin's brings about self-consciousness, “strut” affectation, and “bluff.” An article in a recent magazine entitled “Why We All Act Like Idiots,” explains this tendency, saying that we are afraid of one another, and afraid to be natural before someone will find out what we really are. But after all, our goal should be to make the person we think we are and the one we really are, identical; in other words, know ourselves, our limitations, and our possibilities. If we realize our limitations, and our handicaps, we know better which side of our character and personality to develop. By being conscious of our strong points, we can better find our niche in life and the work to which we are suited. This after all. is the aim of education: to fit us to find our places in life, to adjust ourselves, and to be of the greatest service to mankind. The past four years with all their pleasures, friendships, and associations, that we are leaving behind with lingering regret, will have failed in their highest purpose, no matter how full our heads may be crammed with Latin, Math and all the rest, if we leave this high school with no better idea of our place in life than if vve had not been here. We appreciate the privilege of association here together, the patience, the consid- eration. and the work of our teachers. Their inspiration and guidance will probably mean more to us in retrospect than we are capable of grasping today. Nevertheless we do thank and appreciate their efforts to the best of our ability, and it is with a feeling of deep gratitude and love that we say “ rale” to B. H. S. S A I. U T A TO RIA N’S A DDR ESS By Helen Howard As Salutatorian of the class of 1926. 1 wish to extend to you our hearty welcome and to thank you for the interest and co-operation you have given us during our high school years. Our annual, this year, has been dedicated to the memory of General George Custer and vve think of him especially this month because June 25, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Custer battle. As I think of Custer, 1 see him as he must have felt on the morning of the battle. I see him as leader of the Seventh Cavalry astride his horse, engrossed in thought, with a keen realization of the sacrifice about to be made, yet determined and courageous. Then I see him later as he takes his last stand against the overwhelming number of Indians who completely surrounded his little band. Undaunted, the Custer men stood their ground until they were completely annihilated. It was a dearly bought victory for the Indians. With it. their power was completely broken. So while Custer and his men made the supreme sacrifice, they did accomplish the purpose for which they had set out. But to me the striking fact is that Custer, realizing the danger—as he must have when he took hi last stand against the enemy—fought on to the end determined and courageous. To realize the outcome and yet to go on unfalteringly must have required the greatest courage, the greatest spirit of self-sacrifice and the greatest will power that it is possible to possess. Custer did not falter. Do we. the class of 1926. possess the ability of self-sacrifice and the will power and determination of Custer? Will we have the courage to go unfalteringly on, to brave danger, to do what we feel to be right, even in the knowledge of a losing battle? This remains to be proved in the years to come. At least we have had the ideals of courage and of self-sacrifice set before us during our school days—and again we wish to express our gratefulness to the people of Billings who have done much to give our school so many advantages; to our teachers who have so patiently guided and helped us to become better men and women, and to our parents, to whom we owe the deepest gratitude of all. In behalf of the class of '26, I welcome you at our commencement exercises. THK PR ES I DKNT’S ADDRESS By Russell Smith It is not without a deep feeling of regret, a sharp pang of sorrow that I deliver this address tonight. It is the last act that 1 shall perform as a student of Billings high school or as president of the class of '26. This evening our class is completing its four years of high school. Tonight mark for us the end of a journey. While we are eager to enter upon our life’s work or continue our learning in some higher institution we cannot help feeling sad at the thought of leaving Billings high school. During the four years which this class has been together, many friendships have been formed. Our victories and defeats on the athletic field and in other lines have wrought us together bv indissouble bonds. In our classes we have come in closer comradeship with each other. It is inevitable that some of these friendships be torn asunder, but at the same time the memory of them will never leave us. Although we shall gather as a class but once more we shall never forget the class of ’26 and the friendships made while we were members of it. Upon leaving these halls we will enter into larger fields with a broader oppor- tunity for the development of our talents. How well we succeed in these new fields is determined largely by the manner in which we have trained ourselves while here. Whether we received that training in the class room or on the athletic field or on the debate platform matters not. Our class is not ashamed of its record while in school. We believe that we have done as much as any class that ever was graduated. But any glory or any distinction that we may claim is not measured by what we have done in the past, but rather by what we will do in the future. Red Grange did a great deal for Illinois. But no touchdown he ever made can compare with the work being done bv Dr. Leverman of the University of Toronto, the man who discovered insulin. Red Grange has made his last touchdown for his Alma Mater, but every time insulin saves a life it is adding glory to the class of '19 of Toronto University. Our repayment for the money, time and energ devoted to us bv our parents and teachers lies not in what we have accomplished, hut in our possibilities for the future. Every student does not leave this school equal but every student does have his share of the world’s work to do. and the manner in which he does it determines the measure of his success. The work of our class does not end tonight but continues into the morrow. And I believe that the class of ’26 will do its work and do it well for I have faith in that class. 1 know the individuals who compose it and I have faith in them. •€ THE CLASS DAY EXERCISES Piano Duet .....

WELLS-WILLIAMS PRINTING CO. Hillings' Particular Printers 107 North 27th Street Phone 6826 “Certain things are good for nothing until they have been kept a long while; and some are good for nothing until they have been long kept and used. “Of those which must be kept and used, 1 will name three: meerschaum pipes, violins, and poems. The meerschaum is a poor affair until it has burned a thousand offerings to the cloud-compelling deities. It comes to us without complexion or flavor—born of the seafoam, like Aphrodite, but colorless as Pallida Mors herself. The fire is lighted in its central shrine, and gradually the juices which the broad leaves of the Great Vegetable had sucked up from an acre and curdled into a drachm are diffused through its thirsting pores. First a discoloration, then a stain, and at last a rich, glowing umber tint, spreading over the whole surface. Nature, true to her old brown autumnal hue, you see— as true in the fire of the meerschaum as in the sunshine of October! “1 do not advise you, young man, even if my illustration strike your fancy, to consecrate the flower of your life painting the bowl of a pipe, for, let me assure you the stain of a reverie-breeding narcotic may strike deeper than you think for. I have seen the green leaf of early promise grow brown before its time under such Nicotian regime, and thought the umber meerchaum was dearl bought at the cost of a brain enfeebled and a will enslaved.”—The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table.— Holmes.
