' You who believe in M ontana, her beauty, past, present and future, Hark to this record accounting her histtry of romance allnringg Hark to the past of M ontana, the land of the great shining mountains. Long ago within the boundaries of the state now called Montana Dwelt the Indian, the redrnan, in his hunting grounds unchallenged. Eastward of the mighty Rockies dwelt the Gros V entres and Blackfeet, Lived the S hoshones and N ez Perce's, lived the S elish and the C heyennesj Also in this state the Crows dwelt by the Yellowstone and Big H orn,' Fiercest of these was the Snake tribe, often called by some Shoshones' Dwelt- they all in happy freedom, nnharassed by white 1nan's habits, Satisfied with savage customs, with their primitive existence. Caine some whites from H. B. conipany, came from Santa Fe' some Spaniards, As the first white men recorded to behold M ontana's Rockies, As the' trail-blaeers to ' . f open all the glories of our country!

There were fifty, led by Plununer whowas sheriff of the county, All his deputies were agents and each -man who carried nzfoney A Was held up during his journey by a secretive procedure. Their ways were not helter-skelter but well planned and executed. First they killed for money only, later for but love of killing. Finally their depredations grew so great that some revoltedg Hence they formed the l7igi!antes to oppose that regin of terror. They began with only nine who swore their punishment was hanging, But when Pluin1ner,glong suspected, was accused and pronounced guilty All uncertain up to that tinie swelled the band of vigilantes.

Two months later all these agents either Q fled or reached the gallows, Plunnner and his ba-nd were finished 3 self- created justice conquered.

' Custer's Battlefield In the next year all the Sioux tribe except Sitting Bull was conquered, He and followers were fleeing to take refuge in Canada. Next the Nez: Perce's rewolted and were trying to leave the country But were captured and Chief Joseph was placed on a reservation. Then the S ions' once more rezfolted' when lfVot-'aka brought the ghost dance By which all tlze whites would leave them' and their hunting grounds be -restored. Thus this nation, weakened, broken, failing in- all warpath tactics Came at last to seek religion, as the only resource left them To regain their land and power, to once more have life and freedom. But the governnzcnt sent forces to subdue these cereinonies And through blunders. cared nor heeded, there occurred that. frightful in-urder ' Of tlze cainp at lflfounded Knee where reigned supreme the small pon: scourgings.

As the vigilantes i3 of old established justice amid chaos, they have if brought order in organizing and guiding our thoughts and actions from shallow meandering streams into deep and well defined channels. And as we leave B. H. S. we realize just a little better is the services rendered us. We hope we may be re- ef membered later with thoughts as kind as those with which we remember them. u I nu nnunuuignniz nuinuiniuix :Su iinuniuu:Quinn1uini1ililu1mI3 u- gn gum: ' mum uuiluu nn unul :mum vulnlll un uculruunnr unnulnull I 1 ulinlu nummunmnlunluuu nulu nu nnii nuuuuunu n xxnn n un num unn:u S ,-...Ns K 'Wx Scorr ELTING lvloiuus DURLAND SCHOOL BOARD The Billings school board is composed of Billings men and women who are interested in the city schools. The board consists of six trustees and one clerk, the trustees being elected for three year terms by the Billings voters. Due to the fact that the pictures for the annual were sent to the engravers at a very early date we were unable to include the picture of Mrs. A. M. Dailey who was elected this spring to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Mrs. Scott. The members of the present school board are: Mr. E. C. Smith, Mr. C. E. Durland, Mr. R. L. Morris, Mr. G. VV. Raish. Mrs. A. M. Dailey and Mr. C. S. Bell. Q BELL CLINE SMITH RAISH 0 1 Y! I, f. lVIARlON C. DIETRICH Superintendent of Scliools llflarion C. Dietrich, for five years principal of Billings high school and for three years superintendent of the city schools has taken the most active interest in Billings high school and its students, especially the graduating classes. By his unfailing advice and his keen interest in the activities and athletics of the school, llfir. Dietrich has become one of the most popu- lar and best loved men ever connected with Billings high school. The class of '27, being the last graduating class of Billings high school ever to have been under the direct supervision of hir. Dietrich, leaves with a warm feeling of admiration for the man who has done so much to influence the school life in not only B. H. S. but in the city of Billings as well. 26 W Message Another school year is over. I wonder how many of you have reached the objective you set out to attain. Qbjective, you say. XVhat is meant by objective ? That is just the point. How many of you ever have a definite idea of what it is you are trying to do as you put in these four years in high school? How many set a goal for a day, a week, a month or a year and then examine the record to see whether or not that goal has been reached? For most of us four credits a year is the objective. lVhat credits are and what they will be used for makes little difference. lVe go to school because it is the traditional thing to do and because the neighbors would wonder if we didn't. The two great reasons for not failing are the shame it brings upon us and the delay occasioned by the necessary repetition of the subject. How many high school pupils ever stop to consider that their education is a process of growth, that each lesson is given for a definite purpose, a purpose upon which they may capitalize in the future? lf we would bear in mind that every class exercise is given to help us in later lifeg that each bit of knowledge, ineonsequental as it may seem at the moment, is a step up in our preparation, then our whole attitude might change. VVe would cease to study just to passg to gain creditg to graduate, and would begin to study to grow, to be able to take our place in the world when the opportunity comes. YVe are all interested in the brilliant student but development is just as valuable as brilliance. What pleasure it is to see one who has had to struggle, gain the objective for which he has worked so hard. So, freshmen, sophomores, juniors and you seniors who are soon to carry on outside the jurisdiction of Billings high school, try to keep before you the fact that the work of every day has a meaningg that your school tasks are for definite preparation and that growth depends upon them, and that above all you must have a goal or ob- jective else all is lost no matter how hard you work, for speed without direction is of no avail. M. C. DIETRICH, Srzpwirztezzdmit of Schools 27 FAREXVELL TO MR. CORRIE PRINCIPAL EUGENE CORRIE Mr. Eugene Corrie came to Billings high school in the fall of 1924. Since this time he has proved himself an able principal his friendly personality has won for him a host of friends. confidence and courage has helped him in his executive mission we, the class of '27 owe to him a great deal of gratitude for successful high school career. lVIr. Corrie leaves us this year and His and our and it is with deep regret, that the students, who have been under his guidance realize that this is his last year in Billings high school and so it is that we, the class of '27 wishing him the greatest of success in the future and hoping that he is leaving only to widen his field of activity, bid him farewell. 28 Message By PRINCIPAL EUGENE CORRIE There is less difference in school buildings than in schools. VVhen the architect draws his plans for the building he must not digress beyond the narrow limits of certain conventional notions. The inevitable results are buildings differing in size and beauty but essentially the same. But you, the architects who build the schools, are bound by no laws, by no conventions. The results show no limi- tations in differences and but few factors of similarity. You have taken the materials at your disposal-loyalty, honesty, and good fellowship -,-' -and have builded a school more beautiful and enduring than the building in which it is housed. Because you have done so-because you have made it possible for the Billings high school to achieve the highest and best, 1 extend to every student the greetings of the faculty and myself, 29 Q??L'r55ii'v!S., , ,, ,, ,,,, N-. . .

Thus may the experience and know- ledge gained through these years of high school, help each and every member to accomplish as well as did these early pioneers, his duty toward this, our glorious Montana. q 'SITE T'2T','f2'f7T'2'T 2T', 2f7Z'2 22 f'2 2T'f72T '.2'T 252''21T.'T'2'T'I1L2f.'fTI2'C?,' l McKay, Matheson, Miss Steen fsponsorl, Keil, Nvorthington SENIOR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS FIRST AND SECOND SEMESTERS ETHAN McKAY, President ELIZABETH MATHESON, Sei-retary MAX VVoRTH1NG'i'oN, Vice-President PAULINE Ken., Treasurer Miss lVIYR1'1.E STEEN, Sponsor The high school days of the senior class are over. Each has obtained his goal of a high school education. They have left behind them a record of which to be proud and one which will mark this as one of the most active senior classes ever to be gradu- ated from B. H. S. Their two plays, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry in their junior year and So This is London in their senior year, were highly successful. Members of this class have had a part in winning three state championships, two in basketball and one in football, for their school, i i This year, members of the class published a paper which has won a fourth place among high school papers of its class in the United States in a national contest spon- sored by Columbia University. The Kyote has also been made a member of the Quill and Scroll, a national honorary fraternity for high school journalists. Seven members of the class received individual membership. One member won third place in the Rocky Mountain States for the best feature story published. Another member won third place in a national advertizing contest for exceptional work in advertizing. A member of the class received second place in the state for the best girls' solo, another fourth place for declam. The senior class leaves with a final hope that they have set an example worthy of being followed by coming classes.

S are-ls, Q ..,:e.w- UT, Y. . ,wx Q nl 'HTL ' H V vu IVIARGARET ADOLPH E Margaret is a member of the toughest club in B. H. S., the office dogs. Anyone desir- ing a demonstration should try to get an ad- mit or an excuse from her. She gives them out like Coolidge distributes dollar bills. Aside from this Margaret is a nice girl. Gets lots of A's and all that sort of thing. She is going to be a teacher. DOROTHY ALLISON Dorothy seemed afraid that we were go- ing to tell something perfectly terrible about her. In spite of all we could do, we couldn't get a thing on her. Dorothy has been a good girl all her life. Dorothy is little, with lots of pep and vim, She is a loyal member of the Kyote class. DOROTHY BARBER Dorothy is as pretty and peppy as can be, but she is very modest about her many ac- complishments. She is a confirmed horse- back riding adict, and spends nearly all her time out of school on a horse. She didn't say what she did with the rest of it. CELESTIA BARNET Babe came from VVhite Sulphur Springs this year. She is a streak at short-hand writing and she wants to be a secretary, Her favorite sports are horse-back riding, dancing and exercising. Celestia is very popular with the opposite sex. CATHERINE ANDERSON Great Historian in B. H. S. This head- line will adorn the front page of the Kyote about 1937. If you don't believe it, read her essay on Lincoln, which won a big prize last year. XVith all the future famous person- ages at her feet, we can ha1'dly believe that she intends to become a teacher. Perhaps she will change her mind. Think of wasting all that talent on mere children! ENRIGHT ARCHER We've heard him called Jane's shadow. hut several who played on football teams against him, believe he is more than a shadow. Enright is good at arguing-ask Mr. Corrie or any O. D. He made a very clever professor in the junior class play. 'Enright always seems to get there. He is never worried over anything, but maybe that's because it has never been necessary. RHEBA BARNES Rheba was just an innocent little country maid with unbobbed hair when she came here as a B. H. S. freshman but alas, look at her now! She has very decided views about many things-marriage for instance. She hasn't decided whether to become a teacher or stenographer. She will make good at either profession we know. MARIE BARTHULE All hail to the Spanish shark! She eats 'em alive. It is rumored that her interest is all in Melstone. In fact, she admits that she would rather do housekeeping than any- thing else. That's all right, Marie, we're all for you. AQ XX ,, if T'Zf:ff3- ' o X - 11.-. K I ,, .. , ' ' ' ' lii1!3YZ?i3.'i--c-QliF?

But we know Berg -the hard fighter who likes to argue. He made good in football his junior and senior years, play- ing the position of tackle. You can always hear him if you can't see him, because l1e's into everything. He is especially fond of making announcements in assemblies and- He's a local boy-give him a hand. HELEN BONNETT Helen is so shy and quiet that she would tell us nothing when we interviewed her. It was quite by accident that we learned about her dark and terrible past. She likes to go riding and not in a one hoss shay either. She is the head bookkeeper in the savings system. Wouldn't it be thrilling to find that one day she juggled the books and had skipped out with the money. WILLIALI BURKE Better known as Bill. And scandal--! He's another result of the Kyote Karnival -he's married! But you'd never know it to look at him. VVe expected this to happen ever since Santa Claus started him out with a set of silverware last Christmas. He's young, though, and it's really quite a shame. Bill has a wide, and ready smile. ALICE CHAMBERLAIN No, no Alice and Grace are not twins, altho it is still a mystery how they ever got into the same class. They're more like friends than sisters-if you have ever had a sister, you know what I mean. Alice is go- ing out into the wilds next winter, to teach. She is also one of the valued members of the school savings system. I ZOLA BRAZIL Zola came to our happy home from Ther- mopolis and after looking us over, decided to stay. Can you see IT? in the picture. She held up her left hand so that it would show but the photographer made her take it down. She said he was much prettier than the diamond which decorated the third finger of the aforesaid hand. LYLE BROWRN- Vife nan't quite decide 'whether Lyle is spoofing us or not. You don't find them much peppier than Lyle. You ought to see her do the Charleston and the Black Bottom. You'd imagine you were back in the wild jungles of Africa or wherever it was the cave-men lived. GRACE CIIAMBERLAIN Like Alice, Grace is also a member of the Savings system. The only Way we can tell her from her sister ls that she has black hair while Alice's is dark brown. Grace hasn't decided what she will do. After try- ing teaching, stenography and banking, she has decided to do nothing. Lucky Grace! M.ARJORIE CHAPPLE 'There's so much to tell about 1YI3.lX0l'lB that we don't know where to begin. ny- way she is the salutatorian of the class this year. Also her favorite color is red. She likes red dresses, red pencils, and red hair. She deserted us to go to California, but came back for graduation. f f- 37 J .x 1-:yt . F'.-4 'L 311 Tx- it nm, ax.1..J an K . .

He is a hard worker and gets what he goes after. Bice likes to interview celebrities. His hobby is sh0es. He always can tell you who polishes them. Bice was the fourth editor on our Kyote staff and in addition to that, kept his grades up to make the honor roll as usual. HELEN CONDON Helen's greatest ambition is to sing in the Metropolitan Opera house in New York. She made a good beginning by winning a place in the state music meet. Helen isn't interested in colleges, especially those in Oregon. In fact, her indifference is actu- ally noticeable. STELLA DAv1s Stella abandoned us last year, and went to Great Falls, but she got so home-sick that she had to come back. Her special forte is Latin. She intends to become a teacher of Latin. HAROLD DOWNEY Hanything Helse, sir? Meet the English flunkey in the senior play. He seems to get there when it comes to grades. He fell for the moustache idea, too, but he got over it sooner than some of us did. CLEMENT CORMIER VV'ho is that hot-headed little fellow? lt's Clem. You'd really never think it to look at him, would, you? NVe've often wondered why Clem never went out for de- bate. He would surely make a good debater. Ask Mr. Ruffcorn. ATHA DARBY According to the latest report, Atha is going to California to study nursing. Wife hope it is just a passing fancy, like the home economics. short story writing, and stenography decisions. We would hate like everything to lose Atha. Atha has a gift for writing poetry and we may hear of her fame along that line, VIOL ET DowN EY Violet is as sweet and modest as the flower for which she is named. She is an earnest worker and makes good grades. She knows more about Shakespeare and Tenny- son than the fellow who wrote up their lives. Vv'e heard that she was going to teach school some time in the near future. GLADYS DRANGE We couldn't find out much about Gladys except that she came here from Shepherd and that she is going to teach. Of course we don't know, but we feel that Gladys is not going to waste her sweetness on the desert air. V , 4 Q as Vx.. Q+,,,:'e. f . airs if 'N-4 ei gisfsslfvliffki' x 5,uir,m . Y' Q' -44 ' T' ' ' 3'1 'sf'iES:i?1'f ' 1 PHIL DUNCAN And wherever he goes he leaves behind him a trail of broken hearts. Phil, our junior class president, was the tired busi- ness man in the junior play. lVe wonder what he recommends as a fountain of youth. He is extremely romantic and is often seen wandering around in a kind of a daze. Once in a. while, at such times, you may hear him mutter, Bertha. Phil is one of our fore-most seniors and- well he is very proud of his permanent wave! BLYTHE EDWARDS Investigation revealed that Blythe is Bil- ligs high school's champion traveler. She came to B. H. S. this year. She plays bas- ketball and tennis, and is a very good stud- ent. This is an unusually good record for n new student. WILMA EPPERLY La Pettltte Parisian would just describe VVilnia. Quiet and shy at first, she is the very embodiment of pep when you get to know her. Perhaps she will grow up in a few years. We feel that Lester was pretty stingy when he took family. all the height in the E1ucKsoN it, but Dorothy is the thatch of red-pardon us! auburn hair. You know, you never can tell what a red-headed girl will do and Dor- othy is no exception. Perhaps she might be persuaded to tell us some more about Livingston? Vtfho was he, Dot? DOROTHY You may not think proud possessor of a Iver. EGLAND He's another slicker at physics. He does- n't seem so very studious, either. It's nat- ural to some people. He's always there with a smile and makes himself agreeable. Just lately Iver has joined the six-foot class. He says it takes a tall man to flx telephone wires. DOLORES ELLERS Dolores came to old B. H. S. last year. She is another Shepherd girl and she doesn't herd sheep. She wouldn't tell us much about herself. except that she is going to teach. It appears that Billings is turning out the teacher supply for the whole state. Anyway Dolores will be among the best. MAUR1cE ENRIGHT Mosie, the little boy with the good voice. He's a terrible cut-up but everybody likes him. He's especially fond of private study halls but he doesn't seem to be en- joying them as often as he once did. Maybe the teachers are getting used to him. He claims he isn't so had after all. LILA FAIRBURN Another teacher! This is all Lila would tell us. Unlike most of our seniors, who want you to tell their past, present and future history, no matter how black, Lila has considerately remembered and refuses to talk. Silence ls golden is her motto and she is after the money! 39 , l 1 lf'-7 , ilk R I, -Cf A-X. .. i f'-Q .x K,i'f,w 'V SF . . , Eff: 'xlib'-,GH-,171 'V . , , - . .

Dear little boy-nothing! That's Jim Fraser! Nuff sed. Jim is the little man with the big walk. YVhat a shame he isn't tall. But he doesn't seem to mind it, so what's the dif- ference. He is always smiling and some- times even thinks!-so we've heard. He was the champion speller at the Ex-Chequer spelling contest. EDITH FRYE Edith dosen't know exactly what she is going to do when she is graduated, but she thinks that she will teach. VVhy so uncer- tain, Edith? She is just about the smartest Spanish student in the whole school. CHARLES GIBBS The boy with the broad and smiling grin. He's the fifth one too because he has the best looking teeth, He must be a gentleman because he prefers blonds. He's not at all bashful either. He seems to be very fond of that song, Mary Lou, but of course we don't know why! PAULINE GRAFTON XVhen we interviewed Pauline she said not to write anything about her, just leave a blank. Pauline isn't a blank, far from it. She is president of the Girls' League and of the Alpha Kappas, also a valued member of the Kyote staff and an office dog, as well. Many of us envy Pauline and her beautiful auburn hair. AGNES GALERNEAU En Francias, Mademaiselle Agnes. But Miss Yegen, I can't say it in French, let me say it in English, wails Agnes, nearly in tears at the prospect. Xve all sympathize with you Agnes, because all of us have felt the same way. Agnes gets good grades tho, in spite of her intense Americanism. MABEL GATES Mabel is one of the hardest working l'll9l1'l- bers of the Kyote staff. Have you noticed that the Montana history is written in verse and that it is historically correct? VVell, that's Mabel's work. Investigations into Mabel's past revealed just one, big, black crime-Once upon a time, Mabel stole some green apples! EDNA GRANT Edna is going to be either a famous bank president or a more famous bank robber. There is no difference except that some people think the presidents get more. Edna is chief money collector for the savings system and says she is going to be a teach- er. NVe seriously advise her to take up banking tho. because she has made such a good start in that profession. F ARRELL GRIFFIN Cap is a boy we all know and like. He's always smiling and good-natured and al- ways has something to do. VVe've heard a great deal of scandal about him at various assemblies, and we hardly know what to be- lieve. Just ask him about the time he al- most stayed in St. Paul. wi Q L -'sg . i .-to :Z-. . J - i A -QQ . - 3. 7 , -MU' K-if 40 '17 F I . . .

She claims its the runningest Ford there is, and that it will last two hund- red years, easily, with a little patching. Margaret is the pianist of the well known Charleston Seven. DORIS PIALVERSON Doris is one of our very best students and she is a good girl, altho she is almost a perfect blond. NVe wished she'd let her hair grow, because she looks so much like her brother, Bill, in her present state. Doris has that rare combination of beauty and brains and oh boy, how she could reel off senior write-ups. ORAN HAZ ELTON - Another of those quiet fellows-but you can't ever tell. I-Ie gets wonderful grades and he surely deserves them so far as we can see. He has many friends here who say there is no one like him. Oran was graduated Christmas. Since then he hasn't been seen often. EARL HEDDEN Earl is a small boy but he drives a per- fectly marvelous car. He is the official chauffeur, bus driver, and truckman for the Radio club, but as he always appears con- tented with this office, we take it that he enjoys it. RALPH HAWKINS Hawky, that little, fighty guard we've heard so much about. He's all that and more. He was one of those famous Ex- Chequer yell-leaders of last year. He has the knack of getting his lessons-from other people. But his intentions are as good as gold. He doesn't seem to be broken-hearted about anything, so we think he is safe. He actually worked on Arbor day! He shoveled soil around the senior tree. EVELYN HAZEL'FON Business before pleasure is her motto. Evelyn is one of our very best students. She is modest and quiet, the ideal student over whom teachers rave. She can juggle figures like a tax collector, but she doesn't intend to follow that profession. She wants to be a teacher. , ROBERT HERBST Bob is an easy-come, easy-go sort of chap. VVe wonder what would happen if he ever really worried. He's witty and it seems to us he mushspend most of his time thinking up new ways to make people laugh. He seems to be very industrious but you'd never know it to look at him. HEI,EN LIERMANSON Helen's pet hobby is breaking hearts, but we heard that she got caught in her own trap. He's in Spokane now. Helen seems to be successfully consoling herself tho. Trve hear that Helen is an exceptional Chemistry students and she is a wizard at the Charles- ton. .kg l,.-- .t 41. . n 1 I2 ,X K V! .49 fi' ,. .-'1 .f f , , J -.w, y. ,H . ,,, ., .X zz 'L 1. ff . ,!f'::w1'-wifi?-we ,,,4,:,,....:-g,g,La,,,.,...-.,- ...M nl, -. 4,iPji5'45fifffui-Esfsftfgfi 4 -...:,-'..1..-4 ,.,.., , ,:g-..-,---..p. .L.1'.: Qx ' kbs.

Although she has al- ways been rather quiet and reserved in B. H. S., her pleasant smile is always looked forward to. We aren't sure about Marguer- ite's future but she is studying rather hard at domestic science. JULIA KINSFATH ER -. Julia's one idea is to avoid publicity which is one reason why we have never heard her exercise her voice. Her one fault ls that she is too perfect. CARL LANz ENDORFER Carl is another local boy. He ls good at physics too, and we feel that that ought to mean quite a little, especially to those who have taken it. He isn't afraid of work and seems to have a good time at that. WALTER LARSON Vifalter is small yet as well as quiet and with that combination, he's sure to succeed. Lately he has been coming in the mornings only. He's industrious, capable, and a good worker. He:-'s modest and tends very well to his own business. He has many friends among us. EDITH KUHLMAN Edith should have had a leading part in Gentlemen Prefer Blonds. She lives out near Shepherd and is very popular on the East bench. Altho she owns another his- toric Ford, it isn't included in Montana history. Here is another significant fact. Edith has no interest whatever in mere high school boys,-she prefers men! ROBERT KUHLMAN Robert looks like anything but a dignified senior. Maybe it's because he's a. blond or maybe because he always wears such a broad smile. If his Ford could talk we might know more to say about himg but as 'it can't we'll let you judge him by his sm: e. GRACE LAWSON Grace is very popular as well as g'ood-na- tured. Queer combination lsn't it? But she is all of it. And peppy! She has a great deal of talent in drawing. She studies hard too. Her special joy is writing up chemistry exercises. She always has them in on time. DOROTHY LE CLAIRE Dorothy is a quiet little girl with blue eyes and a smile and she attends very strict- ly to the business of getting A's and more A's. She is the friend of every one and when she is gone we shall all miss her cool confidence. -43 L 542 fn ,ar-4.1-. M' t i Half I 4..--v -Y .- . - ., Yggjgggvf , 1. -Oc, ' , gi? tat , ei Y r-W pe . Q .0 B s.., A ' ' x SAM LEONE Sam's a dark haired little boy but there's nothing dark about his smile. He's another native son and to know him is to like hlm. We've never heard any scandal about Sam, but there always is about dark people, lsn't there? BURTON LILLIS Burton is the lucky man of our class. He passed the appointment exam to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and here's hoping he gets there. He was Phil's proud and loud American father in the senior play. He's a born debater and does nothing else so well as he argues. He's been working hard for good grades to help hls appointment. Bur- ton was the efficient financial manager of the athletic association. He likes the Kyote room too-interested in typing you know. BERNADETTE MARTIN I Bernadette,-no, that's not French for quietness but it mlght well be for Berna- dette does not believe in blowing long and loudly on her own horn. However a. strong light will shine thru any amount of reserve and we've just had a peek at Bernadette's. ELIZABETH MATH EsoN Betty entered B. H. S. four years ago with a group of wonder filled freshmen and after taking in the sights, she went to work and has kept it up. In addition to being Queen of the O. D's., Betty has the most beauti- ful hail' in B. H. S., and a personality in keeping with it. She was the valedictorian of the class of '27. ALFRED LUNDQUIST Behold-the physics genius. We don't see quite how he does it, but he studies everything and understands it. He ls quiet and minds his own business very nicely. VVhenever we see him he is studying. Alfred starred in dramatlcs as the conscience- strlcken prisoner ln the drive for football support last fall, LIVINGSTON LUECK 'Wvrlte me as one who loves his fellow men. So spake Llvy when asked what he wanted in his senior write-up. We don't know about the men part, but he surely can lead yells. He has been our cheer-leader for two years, and we'll mlss him when he's gone. Llvy was one of our Kyoters. LAVONE MAYBORN NVhen Lavone was stlll quite a youngster, her folks took her on a tour thru a penlten- tlary and as a result they had quite a, time getting her into B. H. S. But Lavone found out that B. H. S. wasn't half bad and now she ls one of the A students. HARVEY MCDOWELL Harvey was B. H. S.'s leading shelk this year. He hasn't committed himself yet, but he is still lookin' around, so take hope girls. VVhen he and his pals get into that little Buick, only one of his three cars, they go so fast that officer Spear can't even see 'em. ft i.,. if + 1 MARGARET McINTosH Margaret started in to study Latin and learned from lt, as have many predecessors, how easy and simple Spanish was. Mar- garet is somewhat reserved but we learned from friends, that she carries a warm and friendly heart with her. LANSING MACINTYRE Another Mac, but this time a tall, dark, shlekie one. He is the other contestant of Duke's. His hair is the envy of more than one girl. NVe don't see as much of him as we used to. It is rumored that he is selling air at a filling station. The ladies probably buy it on his good looks. JOHN MCLAUGHLIN And now we come to Johnnie, the 1927 annual editor. He's always busy, and gets everything done in the right way. Though you'd never think it to look at him, he was actually caught writing poetry! It wasn't such a bad poem, either. VVe all admire his cool business head, his wit, and his never fading smile. TRIXEDA MCNALLY The book of knowledge which is so hard to pry into even a little bit for most of us, opened wide for Trixeda, or maybe its be- cause she works harder than most of us, that she gets A's without a stop or hesi- tation. Trix captured the G. A. R. prize forgaeilnlg ghe best American history student n . . . EDWARD McKAY Ted was the English business man in the senior play. Ted was second editor of the Kyote this year. He's really growing up to be quite a shiek. Though he has been here only two years, he is now xt full-fledged native son. He is always on hand when there is something to be done and he always has a good time doing it. ETHAN MCKAY Mac was the first editor of the Kyote and president of the senior class. He has been out for track for two years and made the football squad this year. He's quite up with the times because he falls hard .for everything new-including girls. He is a hard, ready worker. He wears a terrible frown, part of the time, but we all know it isn't natural because it doesn't take much to bring on his smile. CATHERINE MCNELLIS Catherine is one of the main constituents of the Girl's glee club and whether she can sing or not, she certainly sets off the blue and white costume to an advantage. Vvhen Catherine smiles all of your troubles go up the chimney or maybe out of the Kyote room windows because that's where she spends her spare time. CLIFFORD MCVAY Clifford was graduated at the end of .the first semester and has been working since then. He may be seen riding around town every day bound on Weste1'n Union business. He says he expects to go away to college next year although he hasn't decided where. -T KN? ,. - ,-. . . .. .. ....-.--.,-. Q'f'ff Qi5.- R, ,-.-Y.,.,.. YY,.,, -.-f .--.--.-..--. W ev.- . -.

How- ever, 'tis a wise woman that changes her mlnd, and Luella may be singing, School Day Sweethearts at the Altar if she isn't careful. LAURA MOORE Laura put on boys' clothes in a public speaking class program once and she says that this made her start thinking seriously about life. She decided to be a big business woman from then on and from the way things look she will surely succeed. DoRcAs Mum ' For four years now Dorcas has been one of the main helpers and workers of the class of '27, If there was any need of volunteers Dorcas was always the first, never asking for credit or praise, but giving her best at all times. We wish you all the luck in the world, Dorcas, in your future undertakings. GENEVIEVE MURRAY '5Rosy cheeks and turned up nose and curly hair. Genevieve hasn't exactly got a baby face but it is easy on the eyes and we heard somebody once say that if Genevieve were dumb she'd be beautiful and dumb. DAN MORGAN To look at Dan in class you'd think he was very very bashful. But ln streaks he really is bright. He wrote an essay ln Eng- lish that even Miss Steen said was very good. Dan has another of those gentle laughs, and is a very energetic and able worker. Lu.Lv MORRIS Lilly Rose is a friend to all quiet, soft, and sweet, with brown eyes that make you forget all of your sorrows. Lilly Rose is quite an artist with a pen but then what else is there to expect. All true genius' have one outstanding talent. DOROTHY NEWMAN Here ls Dorothy, a senior in high school and we're just now finding out why we haven't seen more of her. She has an-er- out-of-school friend, but we don't blame him one bit for falling for Dorothy because any- one might do the same on making her ac- qualntance. AMALIA NIELSEN One of the hardest workers ln the school and a member of the Kyote class, Amalia has inspired many a spring-fever victim to new efforts as he has watched her head in diligent study.

Nurnii has nothing on her when it comes to hooiing it. And she is another Nurnii, figuratively, of course, when it comes to studying. ELIZABETH POWELL . Elizabeth says that someday she will star in Ziegfield's Follies and she will then look back upon the days when she got her start as an usher at the Babcock. Be that as it may, Elizabeth has been a real Worker and we all are going to miss her very, very much. Yes, there's a romance too. ARTHUR QUARENBURG Altho Arthur is very quiet he seems to get there when it comes to studying. He used to be quite kiddish but lately he's grown-up. He never seems to worry about his lessons. Arthur dwells far out on the road to Laurel. WALTER RANDALL Duke is well known in Billings high school. He's a good worker and a good sport. He was an English butler in the senior play. He and Lansing seem to be pretty good friends for rivals. BoNN1E PURCELL Ronnie is a real Scotch name and Bonnie is also a real article. She says that she is going to be a nurse and knowing Bonnie as we do, we know that she will make a good one and it would be the same with any other position she decided to take. THOMAS PURC ELL Tom was graduated at Christmas so we haven't seen him for a long time. He's al- ways pepped up and raving to go. Even appendicitis couldn't down him. They say Sawyefs oouldn't run without him. MARGARET REICH Margaret stayed in seclusion until her junior year and then she made the junior play and showed her real self. Since then she has been going strong. She ls a mem- ber of the Kyote class. Margaret won sec- oxad place in the state for the best girls' so o. ESTHER RICKEY She is the most frequent user of lini- nient on the girls' basketball team. She is also a money collector for the savings sys- tem.

She was president of her class for three years there and she expects to become the first feminine president ot' the United States. Her chief interest is to go to one of the Eastern colleges. MARY Roor Mary is noted for two things, hero-wor- ship and for never getting into trouble. What a joy school would be for the teachers if we could all be like that! She isn't sure what she is going to be when she gradu- ates. She thinks she will probably be a teacher. GEORGE SEIFFERT George lives on a farm out on the Laurel road and he trudges or rides into town every day to attend the temple of learning. He is of a scientific frame of mind and he wears out more batteries in physics lab than all the rest of the class put together. Stay in there George-Edison won't last forever. JOHN SELVIDGE Johnnie is another of those numerous small boys in our class. He's a good sport and works real hard-driving a car for his father's big hardware store. He is looking ahead to the time when he will run a hard- ware store himself. W MARGUERITE Roscos Ad man. Is she? Just ask any Kyote ad- vertiser. If there's an ad to be gotten Mar- guerite will get it. She runs the Radio club like Napoleon did France and the Tennis club like the czar ran Russia. She is also a. great basketball and tennis star. Mar- guerlte's failing was that of not liking to write up assemblies. She is one of the best sports we know. EDITH SANDERSON Vvhen you see a nice Dodge drive up to school you know Edith ls present and on time. Although she lives in the country she somehow manages to be on time every morning. Edith is a very good student and cabtises the teachers as little trouble as pos- s e. Doius SETTERGREN One girl without whom the honor roll would be incomplete. What she doesn't know about Spanish d0esn't need to be known. Doris is one of the Kyote main- stays: always on hand and one real alumni reporter. She is one of the few brave enough to retain her long hair, but anybody would if she had hair such as hers. RUBY S1-mcxstrokn Steno? Nothing but. Ruby is one of the shorthand and typewrlting stars of the sen- ior class. It has been reported that she could take dictation faster than Miss Den- nett could dictate. tSh, don't tell Miss Den- nett or she would be real peeved.D That would have to be very fast though. en 'Q f S 5 e f, , .

We were all so patient while that moustache was growing and then he had to part with it just because English butlers don't have such things. Herman is a good business man too, and a general favorite with all who know him. OscAR SMART Ducky is another football man. He came here for his last two years. He is fond of talking and once in a while he even stud- ies his lessons so he won't find it quite so boring in class. We oan't see any connec- tion between Oscar and Ducky, but lt makes a good name. MARY LOUISE SMITH An actress, a stenographer and goodness knows what all. Her talents are endless in number. She was a member of last year's Junior class play cast and was in the finals of the cleclamation contest this year. A cer- tain high school sheik claims that the song hit Mary Lou was written expressly for her. GEORGE SNELI. He's an arguer thru and thru. I-Ie went out for debate and we think he ought to make a. good debater. He is a whiz at get- ting ads, too, for he's our advertising man- ager. George received second place in ex- temporaneous speaking and third place in the National Advertising Contest conducted by Quill and Scroll. ELEANOR SMITH Eleanor is going to be a teacher according to Miss Ella Johnston. She is a Spanish s1icker and one of the prominent members of the Y. E. S. club. It is thought by some that she wIll succeed Miss Clark as Spanish instructor in Billings high school but it she floesn't, we hope she will not soon forget the school and her many friends there. GEORGE SMITH Priceless old chap. Haw! Haw! We pre- sent the English lord in our senior class play. They call him Swede! VVe can't see any reason for it, but he doesn't seem to mind it. George is a real business man alreshdy and we predict a successful future or im. DON STEBBINS Donald Stebbins for some reason or other dislikes being called Donald. He's big and tall and doesn't suit his name. He's very, very romantic, studies quite a bit and works hard. He was on the stock-judging team that went to Bozeman. MARK STEPHENS Mark is another small boy with ft big smile. He 1'eally doesn't seem dignified enough to be a senior, but he is. He gener- ally looks as if he has just done something he shouldn't have, but at times, he really looks thoughtful. He is the kind of a fellow that everyone likes.

Some say that a certain young man removed his moustache at her bidding, but of course that may be just gossip. She used to drive rt Ford but since she has been a senior she has taken to a Packard. IVA STEVENS Iva is one of the hardest workers in the senior class. Tvhenever there is a hard job, take it to Iva and it will be done right in a hurry. She is assistant editor of the annual and a very enthusiastic Kyote kub. The only time that B. H. S. will have an honor roll without Iva's name on it will be after she has been graduated. She is our cham- pion headllner on the Kyote staff. CORRINE STREVER Cork, A typewriting speed star, par excellence. If she doesn't win a Remington portable for speed writing there will surely be some disappointment, as it doesn't seem possible that she can fail. She says that she is going to work for dad when she gets through school. VVho knows but some day she may become a lawyer too. - HENRIETTA STREVER Hank, the other member of the Strever team. VVhere you see one you see the other, always inseparable from each other and from their car. It is doubtful whether they ever have walked to school, as their car is al- ways parked right outside the schoolhouse door. A student of Social Life and Institu- tions -Ruffcorn. LEO STOUT Leo is our little Kyote business manager, and what a business manager! VVe all thought until this year he was still a boy, but since he has been to the wicked Holly- wood, he has quite grown-up. Everyone likes his glad smile and sunny disposition. We wonder if he ever really lost his temper. Leo will go to Seattle year after next to attend the University of Xvashington. Howluzp STROUCH Meet the world's future great chemist! Howard was an honor student especially in chemistry, but he left last semester to go to Spokane to study electrical engineering. leaving Miss Abercrombie sighing in vain for her best student. Howmm SUMP Collectors please note. If you would view the most complete collection of yellow slips in B. H. S. ask to see Howard's. They are his specialty. Also he entertains somewhat radical views on Russia and France. He seems to think Russia is all right because they don't borrow money. LENADA SUTHERLAND It is reported that Miss Steen had a stamp made with Lenada's name on it so she might use it daily on the tardy list. Lenada is a real cook: she must be as she is one of Miss Yates' leading domestic science girls. Some- body said her sheik came from Shepherd but he drives a Chevrolet anyway. 55.51,- , .. 4,......-.. . . 'T X-V--W 3 . S'iTTTf lf' ' fif'1i'i3::f':r1:it::' gi X , ' - i .

ALICE TUCKER Music is Alice's long suit. She was one of the very able accompanists for the glee club. Alice is also one of the, high school bankers and take it from someone who knows, she surely teaches the grade school youngsters the principles of thrift. JAN ETH VAN ETTA Janeth persisted in getting all A's until her senior year, but since then she has been enjoying life to the fullest extent. Janeth always liked to chew in Civics class for some reason or other. She is a frequent customer at Bowen's clothing store. There must be some extra attraction there or maybe it is the pretty clothes in the window. HELEN VANDERHOOK After living in Billings for some time attending high school for three and one-hegf s e was and years, Helen decided to leave us so moved to Columbus to finish up. She always quiet and shy in Billings high school, but she left many friends when she moved away. ,. . if DOROTHY Twiocs She says her name ls really spelled Doro- thee but she is too bashful to explain why. Dorothy won the declamation contest for the high school this year and won third place in 21 Rocky Mountain contest for a feature story. A grand-exalted ruler of the French club she proved herself to be a real execu- tilvea and besides she has a very becoming 1 us 1. LEONORE Twioos VVon't you come down and type after school? Leonore is the Kyote mainstay when there is typing to be done. Although she did not take the commercial course she has developed into a very efficient typist. Leonore has about the happiest disposition of any one in the school. GEORGIA VERBECK Small in size but mighty in thoughts, that's Georgie, For some reason she per- sists in going out with a boy named George. At a dance Georgia is the belle since she is a perfectly marvelous dancer as the boys say. She is one of the greatest boost- ers for Radio club picnics. VV ILLIAN1 XVACKLER VVe c0uldn't find out much about Nvilliam. He's so shy and retiring, that we didn't have the nerve to embarrass him.

Her car seems to be a regu- lar fixture around the school. Miss Dennett says Gladys is a finished product as far as a stenographer is concerned and a real type- writing speedster. She's so small everybody taies to pick on her but she soon surprises t em. SAM YVERNER VVe have made a very surprising discovery about Sam. Did you know that Sam is one of those rare phenomenon of the stronger sex-a continuous talker? He's been out for debate for four years and has made both the junior and senior teams. lVe hope to see Sam decorating the floor of the U. S. senate. RAENITA WISE Rae drives a Studebaker. which really seems quite too high class, for an office- dog, but she herself is quite extraordinary so that makes up for it. As Harold Teen in the Alpha Kappa assembly she showed what a really good sheik a mere girl could make. GLEN WOODARD lVinchester's chief fame rests in his ability as a hunter. Besides scaring all the rabbits into fits, he plays tennis and foot- ball. As for math he can work problems, faster than Euclid could make 'em. Glen is a dandy boy, girls, if you like 'em plump. 'R HELEN YVERHAM Music is Helen's middle name as .she is a pianist of the finest class. VVhen it comes to playing classical music she nearly runs Paderewski off the map. Helen has been a real leader in the French club and in the Kyote class she has been a regular and steady worker. MARTHA WERNHAM Marse is an actress of no mean ability and has proved herself to be talented m declamation 'and in other dramatlcs. As president of the French club Martha has acted very efficiently as an executive. Many of the young men of Billings were quite captivated when she appeared in a leading roll at VVest's theater. MAX WORTHINGTON Max is one of these strong silent men with that haughty cave manish attitude, which girls worship. He is a true hero too- captain of both of Billings championship football and basketball teamsg and all-state man and winner of the state sportsmanship medal. Yes. his hair is naturally curly, and his eyes are blue, and his honors have not turned his head-that's the nicest thing We can say about him. RUTH WYMAN Readin', writin' and 'rithmeticf' 1t's hard telling which one she will teach, but she plans on teaching something or other. Ruth is a very active member of the Y. E. S. club. She will undoubtedly make a good teacher as she is a good student. X fi 11 l l. 1. 3 S I I H li Il f 1 1 1 1 l '11 F. l1 1 1 i 5 E. li: 1 I R i . 5.

They produced the cham- pionship debate team for the years of 1926 and 1927, and were represented by eight members of their class at the state music meet. They proved charming hosts at the junior-senior masquerade, banquet and the Hallowe'en dance. In addition to this, Bah, the class play, proved a great success. This class has produced some excellent basketball and football material, proving they have a successful senior year ahead of them. The pride of the class is the shrubbery planted on Arbor day of last year. Of the four trees planted by the various Classes, only the junior tree remains. The juniors claim to have charmed this one.

Besides being one of the most active classes in school, they have contributed much to the school life. They enjoyed a lovely Hallowe'en masquerade party. They pro- duced a splendid program of vaudeville, the proceeds of which were donated toward the stage curtain. They also contributed toward making the girls' vocational confer- ence a success. Their enthusiasm for athletics was shown in many ways, among these the peppy football assembly given before the Thanksgiving day game. Five of their members received letters for either football or basketball. Ray Greenleaf represented Billings high school and the sophomore class in the state extemporaneous speaking contest. A sophomore orchestra, organized the second semester, promises pep for next year. lil pg ss N W, 4 L --as First row-Elizabeth Hammett, Pearl Fingerson. Ulara Erklxorg.

H. S. They chose Miss Grace Umphrey as their sponsor. The freshman-junior class debate was one of the exciting events of the year. The freshman class was also well represented in declamatory tryouts. Their unusual amount of musical talent is shown by the fact that many are en- tered in orchestra and glee club. Two interesting affairs were enjoyed by this class, one a get-acquainted party given the first semester and the other a masquerade party held early in February. The three prizes offered by the Kyote, for the best Christmas stories were won by the green horns who proved themselves not so green, Several members of this class were interested in athletics and B. H. S. expects much from them in the future. ,. 62 S 'NT' 4, A.. ' i 1 f E I, , ,, -,-....... -.. ,,-Y.i,-V Y.- 1 ..

In their ceaseless activities-their explor- ing, their hunting and their constant warfare for the right of existence-they found a means of satis- fying this want. And this same characteristic handed down to us through the ages, this desire for conquest, this love of adventure and of romance, finds expression in these, our high school activities. : I Q 122'77.72f.T7.12F.,i'2'1LT2J71?G2'Ff.'2l'FT.T22I. 122TTI?1323?'TLT'2l'1F'22i'?.'2'1f.'271T,T2 TF'2iTPfL211ZT22 -- .4 1 Q.. pug N i COACH FRED T. DAYLIS Fred T. Cubs Daylis came to Billings in the fall of 1922, from the University of Montana where he was a letter man in both baseball and football. At the time when Daylis came to Billings high, athletics had slumped far below their standard, but under his superior coaching B. H. S. rapidly came to the front in lliontana athletics. - In the five years Daylis has been in B. H. S. he has produced two championship football teams and though his team was ineligible to play in the conference this year, sport writers considered it the best in the state. ln basketball he has done equally well, his teams having won two firsts, one third, a fourth and a sixth place in the state. He also has turned out two of the best track teams which the school has ever had. Besides his ability as a coach, Cubs', is a gentleman and a real pal. His standards are for good, clean and wholesome athletics and he is willing to sacrifice anything for his men and for Billings high. Coach Daylis will some day leave Billings for a higher position and it is then that we will realize what a splendid coach he has been. ,sr P? l P P I K . ,V 1 -,-he-W r -v f .rt . ., ,f f E,T?', gs.. ia ,- -. .Uri uftfjt- vl,g'J:'-J?

B. H. S. realizes what he has done for the school and hopes that next year's captain wins the same faith of the team that Max has won. Max is also noted l for his trusty toe, as his favorite pastime is kicking placekicks from the -I-5 to 50- yard line. BURTON LILLIS, Business Mzzziager Burton Lillis handled the business end of the athletic asso- I ciation this year in a very successful way. No one except Mr. Corrie and Coach Daylis' realizes the time Burton spent at this work for which he received very little mention. Burton worked late after school and on Saturdays clearing up the business prob- lems depending on him and so as a reward for his hard work the financial situation of the athletic association has once more been placed on a firm basis.

Among those were Berg, Hawkins, Beeman, Lyon, Kennedy and XVorthington, all letter men. Around these men was built a team that proved to be one of the best in the state. At the close of the season there were still thirty men reporting for practice. This showed the true spirit of this group of men. In the course of the season, only one game was lost and that to the College Bob- kittens 23-0. Five games were won from high schools. The most outstanding game was that with Anaconda on Thanksgiving dav, which ended with a score of 32-6 in favor of Billings. For the first time spring football was held under the supervision of Coach Daylis. Nearly fifty men turned out, including letter men and new material. Spring training began the first of April and continued for about six weeks. VVe are looking for the banner year in football next year, with the splendid showing of material. THIS YEAR,S RECORD!

Games VVon 5. 69 FOOTBALL VVRITE-UPS PAUL NORTH played his first year as regular at right end and proved to be one of the scrappiest men on the line. With the experience which Paul has accumulated this year he will be of great value to the team next year. . BURTON BERG, a regular from last year's team played his tackle position in an excellent manner. He had an uncanny way of figuring out the opposing plays, and also of opening holes for his own backfield. He will be greatly missed in next year's lineup. RALPH HAWKINS made his second and last letter at guard this year and, leaves a position that will be hard to fill. Hawky, though one of the smallest men on the team had enough fight for a dozen ordinary men and was always a terror to the opposing team. riHIKE,' MAINES played his first year and proved to be a first-class center. He was a dangerous, hard hitting man on defense and on offense his passes were always accurate. Next year he will be one of the main supports of line as well as of the whole team. uDUCKY,, SMART, one of the heaviest men on the line could always be depended on to hold his own either on defense or offense. He was a very efficient man playing at tackle, guard or center whenever needed. Next year's team will miss his ability. HRED KENNEDY, a triple threat man at halfback is a player hard to beat. This was only his second year so next year great things are expected of him. He had tough luck this year being out on account of injuries, but whenever he was in the game he played like a demon and is a credit to any team. A HSTICKYU BEEMAN, captain-elect, is one of the strongest linemen ever produced. He is everlasting with his fight and endurance. He opens holes on offense and plugs them up on defense in a neat fashion. VVe are sure that next year Beeman will captain his team to success. RAY LYON, a burly fullback, was the most consistent ground gainer in the back- field, always able to make the few extra yards for another first down. On defense he was equally as good. Ray is what you call a real good man and leaves a position that Will be difficult to fill. DUTCH PIPPIN, the miniature quarterback is an excellent interference runner and also a good ground gainer. On the defense he is a sure tackler. Dutch is only a sophomore and will be one of the mam factors in the teams of the next two years. ' Louis DOUSMAN, also a sophomore, is a fast running, hard hitting halfback both on offense and defense. He is never to be downed by one man. No doubt in the next two years he will be heard from in the realm of all-state men. Pour POHLEMUS is a good halfback, bold on offense and defense. He makes his share of the yards and he also figures in many of the passes both as ,receiver and passer. VVe shall always remember the brilliant seventy-yard run Poly made Thanksgiving day. 'fPoly has one more year of football. 70 -- 'C J1MMIE PETERS was one of the fastest halfbacks we had this year. He also played at quarterback when needed, Despite the fact that jim is somewhat light he always did his part in carrying the ball and running interference. VVe are sorry that Jim will not be back next year. Whenever Lyon was out of the game LUDY LINK filled his shoes to perfection at fullback. Later Ludy proved to be as worthy a halfback. This was Link's first year to earn a letter and next year we are sure he will hold down the fullback position in great style. DON FOOTE who was but a junior this year, has shown up well at guard and tackle positions. He has the necessary fight and weight and with this year's exper- ience added he will be in shape for one of the regular positions next year. HPHIL,, DUNCAN, who played at end was a dangerous man both of offense and defense. He could be depended on to stop the opposing back and to stay passes with much skill. This was Phil's last year. ' HCOOPH COOPER is a promising end for next year. He possesses speed and is a fighter to the end. Coop showed up well in several games this year and we feel certain that next year will be his banner year. U PETE THOMPSON who performed at tackle, proved himself to be a comer. Pete has the ability and weight and is only a sophomore, so consequently we expect to see him in the limelight within the next two years. ETHAN MCKAY filled in at guard this year and did it very nicely, always per- forming his duties as a lineman. Ethan possesses much fight and determination and could always be relied upon. His absence from the team next year will be greatly felt. ENRIGHT ARCHER, though lacking experience, was one of the hardest hitting tackles we had and filled the position like a veteran. We are only sorry that this is his last year in school. UTE and DUNCAN, sophomores who took an active part this year will make the competition for tackle position very stiff for next year. COOK, who filled in at center, was a scrappy little player and promises to be a good man for next year. C RAY WINTHER and RENFRO are promising halfbacks for next year. TOBIN and VVILSON who worked out at ends will make active men for next year's squad. . HIGGINS and RAMSEY, both juniors this year, will be in line for guard positions next year. Other men on the squad who deserve a word of praise are STRIPP, MCKAY, FARR, SCOTT and JIM SNELL. Every night they reported for practice and helped to build up this yea1 s team. These men are only sophomores and certainly will be valu- able in the years to follow. ' 71 First row fright to Ieftj-Fred T.

At the call for basketball men in September, about seventy turned out. To select the best material of this turnout was a difficult task. Kennedy and VVorthington were the only letter men back, although a number of these men had had experience on the squad before. By the time for the first game the squad had been limited to fifteen. From the beginning these men were worked carefully and consistently. Their team work and basket-shooting improved with every game and the close of the season found them undefeated by any high school team. Out of the twenty-six games played this season Billings won twenty-five. The only game lost was to the state college team of Bohkittens in which the score WVZIS 32 to 25 in an overtime period. The first notable honor which the team carried away was the winning of the district tournament. W At the state tournament where the going was the toughest their superior coaching and training showed to a great advantage. The winning of the championship this year made 1927 the second consecutive banner year for Billings high in basketball. 72 4., I .. -. mu if' r- 1 K M., . g-AIX JOHN KENNEDY, captain elect, was the second best center in the state. Sel- dom did he lose the tip-off and he was always in the offense at the right time and back in defense before the opponents could penetrate. Next year we look for john to lead his team to another cham- pionship. .z vs , - For the last two years NIAX WORTH- INGTON played a regular position at guard on the Billings high school bas- ketball quintet. He has proved himself aggressive, a marvelous defense man and always a true sport. He led our team this year through for a championship, and captured the Bobcat Sportsmanship medal for himself. lVIax will be gradu- ated this year, leaving a gap that will be hard to fill. He leaves many true friends and admirers. This was RAY LYON 'S first and last year in basketball. Ray played a for- ward and made the all-state team. In all the games Ray was one of the heav- iest scorers we had. VVe are sorry to lose him, but we are sure to hear of him in college athletics. 73 'x ' w-. ' 'f ' W 7' 3' 5 K X 1 DUTCH PIPPIN was only a sopho- morethis year but he attracted much attention from state officials. Dutch plays forward, is very fast and possesses an uncanny knack for shooting baskets. In the championship game this year Dutch was the sole scorer for us in the first quarter and kept up our end of the score until the rest of the gang could get going. RALPH HAWKINS, though unusually small for a guard, played a game this year that was hard to beat. He possess- es enough fight and pep for a man twice his size. Seldom were baskets made around him. This was Hawky's first year and we are sorry that he will not be back next year. PAUL NORTH, though being handi- capped this year with numerous injuries, played a hard, fast game at guard. He could always be depended upon to break up plays and to start the ball back down the floor. We expect to hear from Paul in a regular position next year. ,rg - ,ATR ifgw r ., , . ,,, . ., , W.. ,Li E ,N.g?Q3., W mv- x 355 XX GEORGE REDFERN relieved Dutehy or Ray,' at forward whenever the coach saw fit. He did it in a fine man- ner, always cool and possessing a good eye for the basket. Next year we are sure to see Red holding down one of the regular positions. Other men who will be back next year and who helped to give this year's team many stiff scrimmages are: TOBIN, COOKE, LINK, KAUTSKY, UTE, VVIL- soN and HIGGINS. These men are sure to be a credit to next year's team. me--Q' 5.

BOYS' TENNIS CLUB The boys' tennis club was organized late this year and at the time of this writing their annual tournament has not been completed. This yearly event has created con- siderable interest in past years. Previous winners are Jack Hill, Bruce Duncan, Jack Bowers, and Gilbert McFarland. The tourney was launched this year at the organizing of the club. A trophy was offered by the Fortney-Pease company.

GIRLSi TENNIS CLUB OFFICERS ' lVIARGU,ERiTE Roscoe, President GEORGIA STRIPP, Treasurer The Girls' Tennis club was organized in April, the girls showing at that time Il great deal of enthusiasm and pep to get started. Forty girls signed up for the tournament. Two divisions were made, freshman and sophomore girls playing a separate tourn- ment and the junior and senior girls contesting against each other. This gave the girls who had played only a little tennis a chance to win places farther up in the tournament. The girls were given the opportunity to enter three tournaments, namely: girls' singles, girls' doubles, and mixed doubles. 'TS Z , .

The Girls' League is an organizaiton consisting of every girl in high school. The members of the council are elected every Semester. Room l0-l- and A are allowed to have two repre- sentatives each, the other rooms are permitted to have one. 1927 completes the seventh year of the Girls' League's existence and the girls have shown an unusual amount of interest and co-operation. The League sponsored an amusing Christmas program, Santa Claus himself, appearing. As in previous years the Girls' League offered the four gold B's to each of the four girls, one from each class, who receive the highest number of points. Points are gained through scholarship, athletic work, and other activities. These B's are pre- sented on commencement day. A farmer party was given the first semester in honor of the freshmen girls. This was also a get acquainted party. The Girls' League carried out its most important task-that of holding the second lVIidland Empire Girls' vocational conference-with a great. deal of enthus- iasm. This highly successful conference was held April 7 and 8, in the high school auditorium. There were approximately fifty delegates from outside towns and all the B. H. S. girls were in attendance.

At the Christmas assembly held in the auditorium they sang their Christmas carols. Christmas eve the glee club sang on the downtown street corners and in the stores and hotels. Ladies Aid, an amusing operetta, was presented by the glee club in A in February. Spring Cometh, a delightful cantata, was given at the Babcock theatre during the noon hour of music week. A very impressing program was given at the Congregational church on Mother's day.

They took the following places: Mixed quartet, second, Girls' solo, second, Girls' trio, thirdg Girls' quartet, third. The club gave two very good assemblies, the first just before the state music meet. Those entering the state music meet presented their numbers before the student body.

S2 A SCENE FROM THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY SENIOR CLASS PLAY The senior class play, So This is London was presented on May 12 and l3, under the direction of llfliss Edna Overby. The cast worked under quite a handicap because of the two week's absence of llfiiss Overby, during rehearsals. However they progressed very rapidly due to the able assistance of Mrs. R. C. Dillavou who sub- stituted for lVIiss Overby. The play So This is London, is a very popular one among both high school and college dramatics. The story takes place in London, England. The plot deals with two typical families, one English and the other American. The American family consisting of Mr. Hiram Draper CBurton Lillisj, his wife QDOris Halversonj and their son CPhi1 Duncanl are enjoying their first trip to England. On the boat, coming Over, Junior meets and falls in love with Elinor Beauchamp Ualice Sweet- manj, daughter of Sir Percy Beauchamp fGeorge Smithj and Lady Beauchamp fPherne Petersonj. Elinor is just returning from her first trip to America with her very dear friend, Lady Amy Ducksworth CVirginia Kiichlij. At first, a marriage between junior and Elinor seems almost impossible, because of the very marked preju- dices of the parents of both families, against each other's country and standards. However, thru the co-operation and help of Lady Ducksworth, the parents are finally convinced that one can be a regular and still live in a foreign country. The entire cast was as follows: Hiram Draper, Jr. - Elinor Beauchamp - Lady Amy Ducksworth Hiram Draper, Sr. - Mrs. Hiram Draper A Flunky at the Ritz Sir Percy Beauchamp Alfred Honeycutt - Lady Beauchamp Thomas, a butler - Jennings, Lady Duckwortl 1,8 butler TW ss PHIL DUNCAN ALICE SWEETMAN VIRGINIA KIICIILI BURTON LILLIS DORIS HALVERSON HAROLD DOWNEX' GEORGE SMITH EDWARD MCKAY PHERNE PETERSON HERMAN SILOTTA VVALTER RANDALL 5. A SCENE FROM THE Juxion CLASS PLAY THE JUNIOR PLAY The junior class play, Bah the Subdeh was presented on February 11-12, under the direction of Miss Edna Overhy. The story of the play is centered around Babu the youngest member of the Archibald household. Bah greatly resents the fact that the whole family insists on treating her as a mere child and not even old enough to wear low-necked dresses. Upon arriving home from boarding school unexpectedly, Bah immediately sets out to prove to the family that she is no longer a child. The manner in which she accomplishes this, makes the whole play one of many interesting and amusing events. An unusual amount of talent and ability was shown by every member of the cast and the play proved a great success. Miss Overhy deserves considerable praise for the professional manner in which the play was presented. The cast of characters is as follows: Leila Archibald, the older and dehutante sister of Bah - - LUCILLE RALSTON Hannah, the family housekeeper - - - ADRIENNE HUGHES Mrs. Archibald, the mother of Leila and Bah GEORGIA STRIPP VVilliam, the typical hutler - - - TOM RICHARDS Carter Brooks, a friend of the family STERLING STAPP Barbara Archibald, Bah the subdeb - - - ELSA HENDRICKSON James Archibald, the fond and loving father of Leila and Bah - BOB HABIILTON Jane Raleigh, a vivacious and bosom friend of Bah - - RUTH MIURRAY Clinton Beresford, an Englishman who is madly in love with Leila - GEORGE RUSSELL Guy Grovernor, the handsome movie actor - - - JAMES REYNOLDS 84 Jar- f Vg 1.39, f, ,W --,pai gi, 'Na .JJ air, ,. -y yr, , V ,X 'tw 'WJ J' '- .. dvi -. - at- -. -.,gx7'gy ,,-N L Y , V ' 1 - 'w x .

The two chosen were Sterling Stapp and Arthur Cline, both juniors. The third and alternative member was Joseph Hopper, a sophomore. Unfortunate circumstances prevented the team from participating in the first of the series so they were eliminated early in the season. The team dis- played excellent ability and we shall look forward to a more successful year of debate in 1928. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEAKING The extemporaneous speaking contest was held on February 22, in the school auditorium. There were eleven participants in all. Third place was won by Arthur Cline, second place by George Snell, and first place by Raymond Greenleaf. His topic was ls Capital Punishment Ever justifiable ? - Raymond is a sophomore in school. By virtue of his winning first place, Raymond represented Billings high school in the state extemporaneous speaking contest in Bozeman, Montana.

Elizabeth was chosen first in the school preliminary contest held on February 21. Articles written by contestants were sent to Bozeman to be judged where the nine best from the various schools of the district were selected. The subject chosen was, The Flapper of Tomorrow. Elizabeth Matheson DECLAMATORY CONTEST The school declamatory contest was held on May 2, in the school auditorium. Dorothy Twiggs, who gave The High- waymann was the winner of first place.

Second place was won by Martha Wernham, a senior and third place was awarded to Violet Sinton, a junior. YELL LEADER Dorothy Livingston Lueck Our yell leader this year was Livingston Lueck. Last year Livy was assistant yell leader, and succeeded in becoming first yell leader this year. Livy proved toube a hard worker and could always be depended upon to be present whenever he was needed. His constant pep and enthusiasm brought many a rousing yell from the student body.

A large number of parents and friends enjoyed the dinner. The purpose of the affair was to bring the parents to the school and to permit them to become better acquainted with school life. The evening will long be remem- bered with delight by both parents and students.

On May 10, all thru the halls, the most pleasant odor could be detected. It was the aroma of coffee, salads, and many more tempting dishes, issuing from the gym where the Radio club served the meal a la cafeteria.

Although the theme of the annual was not carried out in the banquet, it was very uniquely handled by the hosts, the juniors. The theme of the banquet and the prom was carried out in sea terms. The tables were arranged as a life saver and the menu and roasts were called by sea terms. Harryman lVIaines acted as toastmaster. The junior president, Paul North responded to the toast Ship Ahoy! and was answered by the senior president, Ethan McKay in From Skipper to Skipper. Superintendent Marion C.

Thru them we learn to know each other better, thru them we learn to work together and to co-operate with one another. Likewise thru them we learn one of life's' greatest lessons, to understand the perspective of our fellows, to make known to them our perspective, and to combine both, thus bringing about a result for the good of all. llluuunnnnmnmmmuumunnumunnnlnm llllllllInlmlllulllmullluu uulIulIulIIIIIInlullHmlllllllllllllllllllllllllb mlrgmm-.n,inrnw-tm.-mwumIt un. 41-im.-win-uw-. ,I--1 1-I tm-,mn w I-twin,-m-num:-I ummm ,,.-.,-.- -ry. .- t. - -M-,....Q First row-Vera Archer, Garnet Curley, Sylvia Morans, Betty Vkfesch, Pauline Grafton, Miss Elizabeth Yegen tsponsorj, Jane Snyder, May McFarland, Pherne Peterson, Ruth Keene, Madeline Werness Second row-Ellen Baker, Georgia Verbeck, Carolyn Babcock, Barbara Chapple, Charlotte XVad- dell, Hope Holliday, Elsa Hendrickson.

The club always supports with enthusiasm everything the school undertakes. This was shown by putting on one of the peppiest assemblies of the year. Among the activities of the society for the last year were: meeting the visiting football teamsg sponsoring a pep parade put on before the Thanksgiving day gameg giving a Christmas basket to a poor familyg entertaining their sister society, the Betas, at a Valentine luncheon and theater partyg giving an April Fool's danceg and con- trubuting toward the girls' conference, both financially and socially.

TDAYLISI, Sponsor The B club, a lCtfC1'll'1ZlI1,S honorary society, although not so active in school activities gained distinction in the realm of sport. The club is composed of men who have earned letters in football, basketball and track. The activities of the year are limited. The B club ball given by the mothers of the football team proved to be one of the biggest events of the year. We are proud of the B club this year because of the outstanding ability of its members in football and basketball. The B club lent its aid in financing the athletic section of the annual this year. 9S 1 First row-Frances Kennerd, Edith Zachary, Edna. Grant, Erma.

TOBEY, Sponsor On March 19, 1925, the Banking club was organized to take care of the savings system for grade school students and high school freshmen, Mr. George Ruffcorn sponsored the club during its first two years. Thursday of each week is devoted entirely to collecting and depositing the money from the different schools. Each member of the club is assigned one of the public schools and attends only to the savings from the students in that school. One credit in bookkeeping is the only requisite for joining. The work is very educational and entertaining besides being valuable vocational training. One credit towards gradua- tion is given to each member of the savings system. lWuch of the success of the club is due to Mr. VV. H. Tobey who has so successfully handled the banking problems this year. 95 i X 3 . Q 1 First row-Elizabeth Deckert, Madeline Keil, Maxine Vvickstrom, Constance Wiiggenhorn, Meri Davis, Helen McGrath.

The Beta Kappas have a limited membership, consisting of thirty-five the first semester and forty the second semester. The purposes of the organization are to develop in its members the qualities of co-operation and to make them real boosters for B. H. S. The Betas were organized in i920 and have always taken an active part in all school activities. This year, under the able guidance of Miss Gertrude Whipple who has very successfully sponsored the club for the last three years, several customs were carried out. They were: the entertaining of their mothers at a regular meetingg entertain- ing the Alpha Kappas at a theater partyg decorating the goal posts at the football gamesg putting on the first pep assemblyg giving a clever carnival danceg and giving their annual luncheon. This year the Betas are presenting the scholarship cup to the best scholar in B. H. S.

We can remember the Ex-Chequer for the assembly before the Thanksgiving day game in which were featured the Tavern orchestra, Shrine drum corps, and beauty contest. Other outstanding activities of the year were the box social at which were fea- tured the spelling and cyphering contests, the selling of district tournament souvenirs, and the presentation of a picture of Old Ironsidesn to the school. The Ex-Chequers added color to the school with their blue sweater coats and white monograms. Their April dance ended the list of activities. The next year's members have much to do to keep up the high standard of activities. 101 ' , l ,ir L First row-Martha XVernham, Dorothy Twiggs, Pauline Grafton, Bonnie Purcell.

It was organized in 1921 by a group of sophomore and junior hoys to promote better school spirit and to stimulate interest in literary work. In celebration of its sixth anniversary the Hi-Lit-So became outstanding in many school activities, among them was the operation of the scoreboards at the tournament. The Hi-Lit-So is a member of the Big Four. This year they adopted the plan of meeting at the homes of their Inemhers. The Hi-Lit-So added color to the school with their red and white sweaters.

Johnston. The purpose of the society is to help girls who go into the rural schools to teach upon graduation from high school. At least two numbers of each program deal with things pertaining to the rural school or community life. llliss Johnston is proud of the accomplishments of her girls along this line. Three afternoon parties, a Hallowe'en party, a Christmas party and a St. Patrick party, were enjoyed very much by club members only. The club held a number of candy sales during the year. From this fund it was able to meet all of its expenses and to help in a financial way toward making the girls' conference possible for a second year. 110 ' V ' 1 I I umm:nmnnnnmuum iiiiii - Q iiii - iiii iii iiiii FEATURES On the following pages will be found a portrayal of various phases of school life, interior views of students at work, a review of class week, views around the campus, and lastly the calendar of the year.

I I Class History, Tribe of 1927 New YORK TIMES ---- july 1, 4927. FOUND-A LOST CITY Among the Few .Dwellings Unearthed so Far was Found What is Believed to Have Been Il Secondary School. Sponsored by a scientific expedition, the one time metropolis of the Midland Empire, Billings, Montana, is being unearthed. The city is believed to have been buried by the eruption of a volcano sometime during the latter part of the 'thilftieth century, or something over t.wo thousand years ago. This catastrophe was forecast in one of the documents found. Apparently one of the most perfectly preserved buildings unearthed so far seems to have been a so-called high school. The class history for the tribe of 1927 was found and has been translated. It seems this class was first organized in the fall of 1923 and consisted of 116 girls and 70 boys, under a leader by the name of Dietrich. Following the custom of former tribes, they elected tribal leaders. They were: Frank Mann, president, Pherne Peterson, vice- president, Phil Duncan, secretary, and Leo Stout, treasurer. As freshmen they made themselves conspicuous by their Freak Show at the country fair. 'Their faculty advisor was Miss Sowter. From pictures found, it is be- lieved that the undergraduates disbanded duringethe warm season and spent the time in queer games and exploring. The following fall Mr. Eugene Corrie succeeded Mr. Dietrich as their leader and remained with them until graduation. Again Frank Mann was made president and Marjorie Chapple, Elizabeth Matheson and Madeline Nelson filled the other offices. Miss Theis was their faculty advisor. Much space i-s given to a game called football and it is believed that our air polo was derived from it. Of the tribe of 1927, Max Worthington was left end on the team and Ralph Hawkins received honorable mention for his proficiency as a water carrier. In a sport called basketball Max Worthington was sub guard and Ethan McKay was on the -so-called track squad. The tribe carried off the honors when a prominent member of the class was awarded the scholarship cup given by the Business and Pleasure club. Two delightful parties were held during the school year and during the summer months they again celebrated vacation. The next year' they re-organized under the tribal name of junior-s and chose for their president, Phil Duncan, with Leo Stout, Pauline Keil, Wilbur Harris, and Walter Randall filling the other offices. Miss Anna Mae Gossmlan was their sponsor, They were very prominent that year in athletics. Max Vvorthington, end, was a second all- state man. Burton Berg, tackle, Ralph Hawkins, guard, and -Raymond Lyon, full-back, were on the team and Ethan McKay and Oscar Smart made the squad. In basketball, also, the tribe of 1927 was not backward. Max Worthington was second all-state guard on the team that won the state championship and went to Chicago to participate in the national tournament. Again Ethan McKay was on the track team. 'In the spring they held, for their older companions, a dinner known as the junior-senior banquet. They also gave in co-operation with the seniors, a successful masquerade ball. The class presented a play, Hurry, Hurry, Hurry with a very talented, successful cast. It seems the next fall they assumed great dignity, and elected as their senior offi- cers, Ethan Mc'Kay, president, -Max Nvorthington, vice-presidentg Elizabeth Mathe-son, secretary, and Pauline Keil, treasurer. Miss Steen was their faculty advisor. This, their last year in Billings high school, proved to be a very busy and pleasant one for all of them. Max Worthington, -Burton Berg, Ralph Hawkins, Raymond Lyons, and Ethan McKay represented the tribe on the football team that would have won the state championship had they not been ruled ineligible. Better luck in basketball and mem- bers of the team that won the state championship were, Max Worthington, captain, Ralph Hawkins, and 'Raymond Lyons. It is found necessary to mention Max Worthing- ton's name once more for at the state tournament held at Bozeman he was awarded the sportsmanship medal, the highest honor awarded an athlete in the entire state. In every way the senior ,class play, So this is London, was a huge success. A senior mixer was held and also a junior-senior ma-squerade. In their honor and according to tradition, one of the final functions was a junior-senior banquet, 1927 ended the four years spent in Billings high school- and the tribe disbanded for all time amid much ceremony. June third, of that year marked the official end of that class and the members in due time scattered to all parts of the world.

THE END Committee-MARGARET ADO IJPH, Chairman, PHERNE PETERSON, RALPH HAWKINS, 5 121 TOMAHAWK TALK Behold our Tomahawk! In the year 1908, this same tomahawk became the mascot of the senior class. At commencement, the seniors of 1908 presented it to the seniors of 1909, along with the spirit and good will of the class, thereby establishing the tradi- tion which we today are upholding by presenting this tomahawk to the class of 1928. The keen edge of this weapon is not intended to sever the ties between the classes of 1927 and 1928. Rather, as it has helped us to blaze our part of that long trail of harmony and mutual friendship, so may it serve you as a guide in carrying on that B. H. S. spirit as instilled by the class of 1908. The tomahawk is a symbol of warfare, but would a peace pipe rest at ease in the possession of a class that has had to fight for what it has gained? Has had to fight! .N-ot with tomahawks, perhaps, but with the will, the development of which will enable us to carry on that great struggle which we are told lies beyond tomorrow. Chief-All-Fussed-Up North. I present this tomahawk to you. We have guarded it faithfully throughout the year. And I command you, as a representative of the class of 1927, just as we have been commanded by the tradition begun in 1908, to wield this token justly, remembering as you blaze your part of that unending trail, that our toma- hawk stands for studious habits, good sportsmanship, and for the best interests of Billings High. By BURTON LILIJIS JUNIOR RESPONSE TO TOMAHAWK TALK I receive this time-honored emblem from you with pleasure, you must be giving it into our care with some regret. This is no idle ceremony in which you and I par- ticipate. lt has fallen to you and to me to turn a page of history. I hope this Toma- hawk will pass from senior classes to junior classes of the Billings high school until these buildings that you and I know and love so, will crumble with age. Only you, for the class of 1927, and I, for the class of 1928, will ever give and receive this toma- hawk. If I could give the power of speech to this Tomahawk what would it say? If it were just a plain tomahawk it might say to you, I have long been the emblem of slaughter and blood lust, of hatred and war. I am an instrument of treachery and torture and fierce hand-to-hand, mortal combat, without mercy. And when harmony has returned to the hearts of men, I am the emblem of peace, and they bury me to witness their faith in each other. But this is no ordinary tomahawk. As we reach each year, another milestone on this highway of education, we do not bury this emblem as something which is dead, but plant it as a living thing, which will bring forth its fruit, as a seed that is sown in the field. Its fruit is the spirit of the class that holds it. If I could make this tomahawk speak it would' say this: I am the emblem of the ideals of the Billings high school. I comlmand you of the class of 1928 to dedicate yourselves to those ideals, so that you may pass them on, improved and untarnished. I charge you to believe in the Billings high schoolg boost itg love it. You may be defeated in your efforts-you may even dis- grace yourselves by failure-but I shall pass on and on, because I am the spirit of the Billings high school: for one short year, you are my custodian only. This is the spirit in which we of the junior class accept this tomahawk--we will honor it and protect it and try to carry out the ideals which it embodies.

S X PRESIDENTS ADDRESS Fellow classmates and friends: Tonight marks the end of our four year drama which began when we, the senior class entered these halls as freshmen in the fall of 1923. For four years we have looked' forward to this time of our graduation with im- patience and eagerness, and now that we have come to the grand finale-as we are about to make our exit from the stage of our high school life-our thoughts are involun- tarily turning back to those happy four years spent within the halls of old B. H. S. Now that the time has come, we are filled with mingled feelings of exultation and of regret-we are proud of the accomplishments of the class of '27, and yet uppermost in our minds is a feeling of regret that the parting time is almost here. Although we are eager to venture into the great unknown paths of life, and the higher fields of education, we have a heavy feeling in our hearts- a feeling of deep regret that we are about to take leave of the scenes where we have formed so many lasting friendships, where we have spent so many happy hours-hours filled with work, perhaps, but yet hours of keen enjoyment. There is yet another feeling of regret-a regret that at times we have not taken advantage of the experienced advice and counsel extended by our faculty-that we have not taken advantage of the many opportunities offered. As president, and in behalf of the graduating class of '27, I wish to thank the faculty, our parents, and the community for their untiring efforts spent in bringing us to the point where it is possible for us to be graduated at this time. May each and every member of the class enter upon this new stage of his life, with an earnest endeavor to live up to the ideals learned here. May B. H. S. be proud in later years to claim every member of the class of 1927. By ETHAN McKAY SPONSORS Presidents Address--Ethan 'McKay - Mir.

Each year the Girls' League gives a small gold B to the girl in each class who has the largest number of points, the points being determined by the Girls' League point system. These girls receive their pins at the commencement evercises held at the Babcock theater. The following girls were awarded pins: Fl'CShII1ZlIl-TVIERI DAVIES Senior-MARGUERITE Roscoe Sophomore-MARY ALICE REYNOLDS junior-GEORGIA STR1PP The Business and Pleasure club has formerly given a loving cup to the high school student maintaining the highest average thru-out the year. Due to the fact that the club disbanded this year, the Beta Kappa literary society has taken the responsibility of giving the cup. At the time of this writing, the winner was not determined. Mr. W. M. Johnston, a prominent Billings lawyer, gives three awards each year of 2530, 315, and S5 respectively, tothe three freshmen maintaining the highest average for the year. As yet this is undecided. The Billings chapter of the D. A. R. offers a reward of a ten dollar gold piece each year to the student receiving the highest average in American history. This prize was won by Trixeda lVIcNally, a member of the 1927 senior class. The Kyote class offered three prizes of 52.50, 52.00, and 51.50 for the three best short Christmas stories of not less than 200 or more than 600 words. The freshman class captured all three prizes with Francis Cross placing first, Ray Greenleaf, second, and Jacquelin Johnston, third. The Ex-Chequer club held a yell contest last fall for the purpose of obtaining new yells. The contest was open to all members of the high schoolf The three prizes of 32.50, 35150, and 51.00 respectively, were won by Geraldine Campeau, first, Amy Roberts, second, and lola Davis, third. This year the high school athletic association offered a fountain pen to the student selling the largest number of season basketball tickets. Elizabeth Hirst, a sophomore, won the pen by selling over fifty-seven dollars worth. Bob Hamilton, a junior, was awarded first place in the state, by the American Chemical society for the best essay written on Relation of Chemistry to Warfare. The award consisted of a twenty dollar gold piece. His essay will also be sent to a national contest where it will compete for a four-year scholarship. Ray Lyons was awarded one of the scholarships to the University of Montana this year. The scholarships are awarded for outstanding athletic and scholastic ability and are awarded each year to several players in the state who excel in these lines. ig 128 X I V, f,' 11 11 El' 11 11 111 11' 111 11 1 1 1. 11 1, 111 ,.

This monument to be placed on the rlmrock north of Billings, will be unveiled July 4, incident to observance of Founders' day. THE RANGE RIDER OF THE YELLOWSTONE - On the quiet rims at the break of day A lone range rider stands guards I He sees not the lights of our city's white way, But his phantom herd and his pard. Together on their trusty steeds Guarding the herd and the past, Building our kVest thru daring deeds A history that will last. His eyes look out across the plain, Back over those days of yore The years roll back and once again He's riding his range once more The friends that now on Boothill sleep Are with him there tonight, ' They're singing as their watch they keep Around the camp fire bright. Together .they come riding down Out of the dust of the past, Down to Coulson-the old dream town Ah! but those years have gone fast. Always he's living the days gone by As his lonely 'vigil he keeps, The wind blows, and he seems to sigh While below all the city sleeps. Range rider of the Yellowstone, Your range you've guarded well, Your deeds and sacrifice alone Have paved 'the way-we'II carry on- your fame 'we'll ever tell. DEDICATED 'ro WILLIAM S.
