Joyce Sampson - Editor Pat Farnum - Business Manager Bob Morrison — Art Editor Billings Senior High School Dedication to PRIN. S. I). HICE whose whole-hearted support and help- ful advice is markedly shown in the activities these pages record, and whose tall figure is familiar to each and every student . . . this KYOTE of 1942 is dedicated in a spirit of appreciation and respected comradeship. FOREWORD To students of today, this Kyote is presented with an unas- suming manner. For those who have attempted it, the futility of writing on paper the deep but vivacious character of our high school life, is fully realized. What follows is a journalistic, pho- tographic record made for and by students ... a record of 1941-42 at Billings Senior High School. One can hardly belieye that 1300 students a working in the impresSP e-looking building aero the street. A drowsy ptucefulness surrounds t building in the late afternoon sunshine. But sudden this silence is broken the sound of a bell. As t doors swing open a de'uge of students pours for and the streets are suddenly crowded with bicycl and cars. After the s. irt interval of fifteen minut a drowsy peacefulness again surrounds the scho j V This door is an architectural master- piece of which pur school may well be proud . . . It Kas afforded a refreshing entrance ttrmany erstwhile undergrad- uates, and a pleasing reminiscence to hundreds of seniors. It typifies as noth- ing else in our beautiful building the portals of culture and leads the inno- cent adolescente figuratively as well as literally into ihe realm of knowledge. f TABLE OF CONTENTS piij • ADMINISTRATION • CLASSES I • CLUBS • ACTIVITIES Music Publications Stage and Speech Classrooms ■w Social W lrl and Assemblies Sports Caleni • ADVERTISERS V j 4 V' Aside from regular school activity, many enjoyable Lours are spent in the au- ditorium in attendance at assemblies, school plays, and musical concerts.

Tiffany___________________ BOARD OF EDUCATION The School Board of Billings is a very active organization of fine men behind our school. Students sometimes fail to realize that only in a democracy such as ours could such a school exist, and the hoard attempts to make our school as democratic an insti- tution as possible. The meetings of the board are held twice a month and are open to the public. M. C. GALLAGHER . . . Superin- tendent of schools . . . Graduated from the State University of Montana ...

The appearance of drowsy students in 208 has suddenly awakened us to the fact that spring is here. This is no ordinary spring . . . this is the spring of 1942! It hardly seems possible that it’s been four years since that long-to-be-remembered day when we trembled our way into the old gym wearing obvious green hairbows and rolled-up cords. We were Freshmen. After becoming the most obvious and most awkward Freshmen ever known we finally got into the swing of Hi-School life. Our steady attendance at dances must have been disconcerting as well as annoying to the upper classmen for we were fresh out of dancing school. Even at the finale of our Freshman year, we were still getting lost and still running into people. In every assembly, we were referred to by such scathing terms as “vagrant” and “undersized.” Following this eventful and rather turbu- lent year, we became somewhat insignificant (?) Sophomores. Even if spectators didn’t rec- ognize us as Sophomores when we stormed our way into the football and basketball games, they soon knew who we were by our loud and boisterous cheering. The upper classmen soon found that it was dangerous to be standing in the halls when a horde of us came rushing through. We even trampled on the poor little Freshmen. By this time we were old-timers at the dances. The floors were never very crowded. We drove everyone else off. Our partcipation in school activities was becoming more and more intense as the fellows signed up for football, basketball, and track while the girls joined the various clubs. This year also introduced the era of blue and pink cords and multi-colored shoes. With a rousing and somewhat tearful farewell to the old school, we bade our Sophomore days goodbye forever. At last we were upper classmen. But our entrance into our new school made us feel like Freshmen again, minus hairbows and rolled-up cords. We were lost again but in a more dig- nified way this time. We became quite im- portant in school-life (we thought), as we took an active part in assemblies, operettas, clubs and athletics. Our mental prowess was notable on such remarkable occasions as the day we tried so hard to blow up the chemistry lab, and when we had field day in typing. Spring came and we Jaunty Juniors became Sophisticated Seniors. At last our rather hazy and somewhat dusty goal had been attained. We were Seniors. Our privileges increased and “Mater” and “Pater” let us go to out-of-town games and dances. Our courses became easier and sixth period was extinct on Senior schedules. Over the Thanksgiving holidays our own Senior “fellas” crashed to victory as the State Football Cham- pions. The girls of our class were not to be outdone and spent their time giving successful dances and assemblies. Perhaps the most out- standing event of the year was the Sadie Haw- kins dance. The leftover pigtails and gingham were evident for months following. When June came and we walked down the aisle in caps- and gowns to receive our di- plomas, our faces were more serious and our walk more sedate, but we had such fun, didn’t —20— SENIO ItS Frank W.

This trait, the noblest of humankind, occurs to a greater degree in some, those who have taken part in extra-curricular and community activities, spending time and effort in serving the community with scholarship, talent, and patience. One of the most outstanding things which was undertaken during this year of 1941-42 was the organization of a bicycle patrol in the grade schools and the junior high school. 'Iliis organization consists of clubs in the schools with certain patrolmen to issue courtesy tickets to violators of Billings’ bicycle traffic laws, and a court composed of high school students to administer the regulations. In November two seniors were appointed by Mr. S. I). Rice, principal, to become judges, and two to act as attorneys. These were: Dick Weeks and Boh Morrison, judges; Bruce Beatty and Phil Jones, attorneys. After the resignation of several of the officials later in the year, when the organization was functioning smoothly, the court was reorganized and now is as follows: Bruce Beatty and Keith Russell, judges; two juniors acting as attorneys. Morrison and Weeks, the original judges, are co-chairmen of a city-wide organizational committee including members from the P. T. A., the school board, and the police force. On the grounds of scholarship in general, there are several students in Billings high school who have made contributions to the advancement of the school program, and who are preparing themselves for life with an intelligent outlook, and a good foundation of logical, critical reasoning. Such students know that neither fun and popu- larity alone, nor studying alone, will make the soundest character, but a sane combi- nation of the two will produce a happy and worthwhile life. Outside organizations have played an important part in giving recognition to the abilities of high school students, seniors in particular. One such is the Montana Bankers’ association, which again this year sponsored an essay contest. First prize for the seniors, and first for the school as a whole was won by Bob Morrison, with second and third prizes for the seniors going to Inez Sue Fraser and Dorothy Asburv, respectively. Another organization of well-established merit in dealing with high school boys is the Order of DeMolay. The Billings chapter of this order gave its annual scholar- ship plaque this year to Dick Weeks. —33— PAT FARNUM WINS D.A.R. AWARD In every class of students there are several outstanding personalities. On the feminine side of the picture, there is the D.A.R. Award. Each year the senior girls meet to vote and select three girls who they think deserve recognition. These girls are outstanding scholastically, socially, and personally. This year the award was given to Patricia Farnum, the alternates being Inez Sue Fraser, and Joyce Sampson. I he D.A.R. chapters send the winner’s name from each high school to the state meeting. There, by a drawing, one girl is selected to represent her state at the national meeting in Washington, D. C. Although our candidate was not selected for the national meet, it is evident that the senior girls are proud of their representatives. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September, 1941, this year’s junior class returned to the now familiar halls of the new Billings high school with the same feeling of importance that has pervaded junior classes for untold centuries. They looked at the sophomores in cold amazement, telling themselves that they had never appeared that young and green; they mingled with the seniors with more familiarity than they had ever before dared to show. After the usual period of mental adjustment required of all students returning to school from a lazy, carefree vacation, the juniors settled down almost satisfactorily to work. They took care not to lose all the lazy, carefree habits acquired during the preceding summer months. Throughout the winter, these habits were conspicuously evident in the dormant forms of juniors prostrated in each study hall. With characteristic self-confidence, many members of the class reported out for football, basketball, and track when the call was sounded. Thus, several juniors dis- tinguished themselves on the gridiron. Considering the prominent part that juniors played in the winning of the state football co-championship this year, there is good reason to anticipate an outstanding team for the 1942 season. The successful basketball season, too, was made possible in part by the presence of several talented junior players on the team. An admirable display of intelligence and impartiality was shown in the results of the nomination and election of junior class officers at the mid-year. The officers were chosen and elected not on a basis of popularity alone, but with a sharp outlook for the qualities most desirable in leaders of any kind. Members of the class took an active part in all club affairs, social and educational. They figured prominently in all dramatics, and made up a large part of the cast of the All-School revue. We might say that one of the greatest responsibilities of the class is the sponsoring of the junior-senior prom, held each spring in honor of the departing senior class. To raise money for this pur- pose, a dance was sponsored by the jun- iors in April. The crowd(?) attending actually exceeded some expectations. In spite of this and many other obstacles to be surmounted, the prom was a success, and turned out to be the formal of the year. So, while possibly no new “lights” have been set by this group of scholars, they have certainly upheld every stand- ard ever set down by any preceding junior class. They have shown a high grade of scholarship, and a fine loyalty to their class, their school, and their country. There is no doubt but that they are more than fitted to take their place as seniors next year. —35— JUNIORS Mollie Adam Robert Adams Jack Albin Calvin Albright Alice Anderson George Anderson Lois

Blank walls, blank rooms, blank faces of upperclasmen, and the still blanker condition of our minds. How well we remember the dirty looks the almighty juniors and seniors passed our way the moment we as much as looked as if we were going to ask a question. And the way the paper tore into us every two weeks! Oh, well, no doubt we were a little dumb, but how bewildered we were. Soon, however, we got to know all the nooks and corners of the school as well as the older kids—even if we never could figure out why room 316 is in one wing of the building and 319 in the opposite wing. We became familiar with the building and we grew to think of it as school instead of a big, sprawling building to get mixed up in. No sooner did we become accustomed to our surroundings, than we were thrown into the mad scramble of football season. My how tall and handsome were the football heroes to us impressionable sophomore girls. Our pet hero on the grid, of course, was our own sophomore, George Keevert. The juniors and seniors had nothing on us because we too had a star on the team. The whole sophomore class entered in the football season with sparkling enthusiasm. We attended the games and yelled for all we were worth. Basketball, of course, was really our pride and joy. George Michotte carried away the honors for the sophomore class. Big, rangy George made All-State as we sat by and cheered for him. The rest of the team was plenty good, too, hut George was wearing the honor of the sophomores and he was the one that kept our attention. Football and basketball over, we turned our at- tention and talents to track, tennis, and golf. We did all right in them, too. Arvev Creek earned our admira- tion in his track record, as did Anne Fraser in her amazing game of tennis. Being no exception, we, too, had class elections. The officers we chose were: President, George Kee- vert; vice president, Dave Dick; secretary-treasurer, Kay Morris; historian, Sally O’Malley. —42— SOPHOMORES Hazen Alkire Bill Altmaier Betty

STAEF BIKE COURT STUDENT COUNCIL Once more students have proved themselves worthy of governing themselves, and a student council has been elected with Jack Oberwieser as its president, Joyce Sampson as vice president, and Clova Staehnkc as secretary-treasurer. With such able founders, the council promises to go far towards furthering worthy school activities this year and in future years.

It started out last fall by bringing the students together again with the first dance of the season. Having the monopoly on the concession stand at the football field. AK supplied every cheering spectator with their share of candy bars, pop, hot dogs, and coffee, a service credited to the club for many years. Several pep assemblies and decorative rallies also were given. The Spring Formal given by AK this year was a splendid success. Everyone made a lustrous picture in their showy dresses and suits, and from the look on their faces they were really having loads of fun. AK helped pass the collection plates for the March of Dimes at the local theaters, gave a donation to the Red Cross at Christmas time, staged a Christmas party and a caroling party; sponsored a movie; gave a luncheon for the mothers of the members, and the senior luncheon where the seniors were bade farewell. Miss Jeanette Clark is the club sponsor. ★ HUM) HADO OFFICERS First Semester President - - - - Vice President - - Secretary - - - - Treasurer - - - - Historian - Nancy Jo Skaggs Kay Stecker Evelyn Beumee Norma Everson Ruth McLaughlin Second Semester Norma Everson Dorothy Clark Margaret Hischier Betty King Evelyn Beumee Hido Hado will complete its tenth year with a consistent membership of forty girls each year. The club has carried on a very successful year for 1941-42 by spon- soring many group activities. Some of these activities have been truck rallies for the football games in the fall of 1941. Several successful dances were given after the football and basketball games, and one assembly presented and enjoyed by everyone. To earn extra money for the club, candy sales were held. Hido Hado, with the other clubs, ushered at the theaters during the “March of Dimes” campaign. During the year special occasions such as the Christmas program, a Mother’s Day tea and a dinner honoring the senior members are enjoyed by each girl. Hido Hado’s goal is to promote friendship among the girls and to make inter- esting other school activities. Third row—Mary I. Ruzieka, Betty Lou Forsman, Pat Price.

They made a bang-up start, along with the other clubs, by participating in several rallies preceding the football games in the fall. The lot fell to the Kinetic to give the Christmas formal this year. The theme was in blue «and silver and the gymnasium was really transformed. To top the evening, a Kinetic girl was crowned queen. Another Christmas activity, given just before vacation, was an original assembly. In February, for the March of Dimes drive, the girls of the social clubs served in the various theaters as ushers to pass collection plates, the Kinetics helping with this grand cause. Another theater activity was the sponsoring of the show, “The Little fences. Again, all the social clubs participated. During April the Kinetic girls sold subscriptions and renewals to magazines, put out by the Curtis Publishing company, to raise money for the treasury. This turned out very well and a tidy sum was deposited in our club fund. 1 he last activity of the year was a senior luncheon given at the Billings club. I he seniors bade farewell to their club pals and were presented with gifts from the club. Miss Gertrude Whipple is the sponsor. ★ PEP CLUB President - - Tice President Secretary - Treasurer - Historian - OFFICERS First Semester Inez Fraser Pat Farnum AIA RGA R ET H A M M E RSI ROM Ruth Sackett Nadine Malm in Second Semester Dorothy Gates Leone Lillis Clarice Hatfield Pauline Frederick Inez Nybo This, the third year of Pep club, was quite an eventful one. The new assistant sponsor, Mary Carroll, has had many new and refreshing ideas. It was she who sug- gested the history-making “Sadie Hawkins Dance” that Pep club sponsored this spring. This dance was put on with an eye to making it an annual affair. Even though it was an entirely new idea, it worked into one of the biggest affairs of the year. Pep club members are known for their pep, and with such a name they have to work hard. 'ITey sold candy at all the basketball games and have sold forget-me-nots and poppies for various organizations. During the March of Dimes campaign, Pep club girls helped out at all the theaters. The yell team is sponsored by Pep club and has done well for itself. The team has worked out several new yells and formations and added members to its force. It has sponsored several assemblies and one dance. Two dances were sponsored by Pep club. —56— Fifth row—Miss Gertrude Whipple, sponsor. Shirley Anderson, Joanne Stripp, Ruth Anderson, Mildred Gates.

The membership varies from thirty to fifty members. “You club meets every other Monday with Miss Opal Leonard as sponsor. All of the club’s activities are not in the direction of self-improvement, however. In the fall of the year the club sponsored a mixer for all of the girls of B.H.S. Later the girls gave an all-girl assembly. Other activities during the year were a Christmas party, a skating party, a Mother’s Day tea, and a senior luncheon. The club undertook to sell defense bonds as its contribution to national welfare. Although “You” club is comparatively new, it continues to grow and has established its place in school life in B.H.S. ★ G. A. A.

A girl must earn 10 points to be a member. This year each girl was able to earn a point every time she reported and took part in a special class which may have been basketball, tennis, tumbling or softball. Peggy O’Donnell, Martha Keefe. Ruth Mar- tin, and Virginia Kennedy have each earned 80 points in both competitive and non- competitive sports. This entitles them to receive a letter. The seniors won the interclass basketball tournament.

During the second semester Roman customs and ways of life were studied. The year’s project was completed with a Roman ban- quet at the home of one of the members. All who attended the banquet wore Roman costumes and took the parts of true Roman citizens. Although Latin club did not put on any dances or assemblies of its own. the members helped other groups put on successful entertainment. Miss Nancy Olson, sponsor, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of the club. ★ HI-THY CLUB OFFICERS President.....................................Alma BuCHEN Vice President...............................Esther Kiehna Secretary......................................CoRLiS OLSEN Even though Hi-Tri is one of the newer clubs, its membership is very good. At the beginning of the year the girls worked on handicrafts, and at Thanksgiving they had a party at the Y.W.C.A. At Christmas time, wreaths were sold in order to raise money for the purpose of sending some members to a conference in Denver. Several parties and get-togethers have been held at the Y.W.C.A. This included a tea for the mothers of the girls. A hay ride was given for the girls and their friends, and the You club joined them in a roller skating party later in the year. A colored moving picture was presented by Hi-Tri for the pleasure of all the girls in school. ★ President - - - Vice President - - Secretary - Treasurer - OFFICERS First Semester - Jenny Staehnke - Janetii Buck - Alma Buchen - Alma Buchen FRENCH CLUB Second Semester Alma Buchen Louise Rhoads Jenny Staehnke Gladys Jones Did you ever wonder what to order when you encountered a lot of foreign gibber- ish on a menu? You weren’t the first—or the last. We French students found out and look how much fun we’ve had—a Hallowe’en party, exchange of gifts at Christmas, a hay-ride, and a picnic to top it off, not to mention several minor entertainments. All this by joining French club—i.e., La Societe Francaise. At our meetings we studied the customs and culture of the French; played games, both French and otherwise; and generally enjoyed ourselves. Our sponsor, Miss Jean Smith, enjoys French club as much as do the members. We look forward to another year with hope, and backward on the present year with regret that it has passed so quickly. —60— Fourth row-— Jean Drew, Donna Meredith, Nancy Whltmer.

Miss Katherine Kellogg, librarian, is in charge of the workers who are the library assistants, students who are interested in library work. The group meets twice a month in the library for instruction. Miss Kellogg has been giving them the rudiments of library economy and has covered such subjects as the making of reports, arrangement of books in the stacks, the workings of the card catalog, use of the Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature, the handling of pamphlets, and the use of reference books. The group started to work in February of this year.

Started in the spring of last year under the guidance of Mr. Fred Miller, Billings high school speech instructor, Masque and Gavel spent the summer in organizing itself for the program of school activities which the members planned to undertake. The members, selected on the basis of their speech and scholastic records, represent almost every phase of Billings high school’s extra-curricular activity, and thus endorsed heartily Masque and Gavel’s policy of sponsoring an all-school program of assemblies, dances, plays, debates, revues, and carnivals. The object of the society in sponsoring all these things is to become a nucleus around which the other organizations of the high school can center their activity programs. -62— Top row—Dick Weeks.

George Hufford Although this is one of the newest clubs in the high school, its members feel that it has fulfilled many of the requirements that the organization of such a club calls for. The purpose of the club is the study of industrial lathe work. Other projects were taken up in difficult metal work. Steam engines and gas engines have been studied very carefully. The casting of aluminum and brass objects was carried on to some extent. Another very interesting project was the construction of model racing cars. Work was also done in making tools of various types and several displays of this work were on exhibit in the show cases of the school from time to time. The club holds its meetings at regular intervals in the school machine shop with access to the many machines and tools needed. The club’s work is under the excellent supervision of Thomas A. Purcell. ★ MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB President, Frank Adams The Model Airplane club was organized at the beginning of the year for several purposes. The boys that were interested in this type of hobby felt that they did not know enough about the technical side of their craftsmanship. They also desired more time to work their ideas and theories out. The club was started by Donald Sump, a local business man who has an active interest in model airplanes. There are about thirteen active members. The club meets every Wednesday from 7:30 to 10:00 and in this time learns a great deal about designing, constructing, and flying model planes. About an hour of each meeting is spent studying the design of various planes and the rest of the time is spent in the gym flying the models that the members have already built. -64- Mr. Tom Purcell, sponsor, Jim Johnson, Francis Therkelson, George Feisthmal, George Hufford, A.

Meetings were held irregularly throughout the school year and many interesting things were taken up during these meetings. Each member had a project of his own to work on. They learned, in this way, a great deal about their particular project as well as a good foundation for radio work. ★ AVIATION CLUBS OFFICERS President............................... Preston Maynard Vice President - -- -- -- -- Hal Panton Secretary -------- Harris Croonquist The Aviation club consists of members of both the junior and senior classes in aviation mechanics. Meetings of the club are held regularly throughout the year, and intramural basketball is played by teams made up of members of the club. This year’s senior class was the first to be completely trained and graduated from the high school’s government-approved school which is one of the very few in the United States under high school classification. The class is operating in full swing with national defense this year. The boys have had experience on many types of airplanes and motors along with riveting, welding, and general assembly work. The year’s activities were concluded with the annual picnic of the club. -«6— Top—Mr. Fred Ka- ser, sponsor, Ira An- drews, Morris Pettit. Bottom—Fred Ravens, Milo Grue. Bill Itup- pel, Bob Barbour.

G. Hudgin, the boys enrolled in vocational agriculture participate in club work with a chapter of F.F.A., a national organization of farm clubs in high schools throughout the country. The purpose of the club is to further agricultural education. This year the club has been unusually active. Perhaps the most important work of the club has been an extensive farm machinery repair course undertaken in the farm shop. This program covered several months. Other activities in which the club took part are the Junior Livestock show here in October, a radio program January 9 on the subject of “Who has the right of way?’ in cooperation with state F.F.A. highway safety program. A team of four boys took part in the state convention at Bozeman on May 1 and 2. They were Kenneth Finley, Henry Barber, Walter Popp, and Klaas Andriesen. A picnic and rural youth day, and participation in a Midland Empire softball league, ended the activities for the year. ★ DRAGON CLUB OFFICERS President.....................................George Swenson Vice President.....................................Ira Andrews Secretary -.......................................Frank Adams Last fall the Dragon club bolstered its declining membership by taking in many new members. Traditionally the Dragons guarded the fences at the football games and helped at the basketball games.

GIVES DANCE Although our high school orchestra is not as well known as some of the other musical organizations of the school, it is an outstanding group. The orchestra has been very active this year playing for civic activities, three concerts, two old-time dances, and many high school events such as baccalaureate and commencement. The group also played twice on the radio. The orchestra members participated in a music meet in Lewistown in April. They also took part in the music meet here, where they got a first division rating. Some of the best musicians in this organization were sent to Missoula for the small ensemble meet where they received high recognition. The members of this 35-piece group have worked hard throughout the year to make their orchestra the success that it is. Without Mr. Julius Clavadatscher’s hard work and loyal support, the orchestra wouldn’t have gotten nearly as far as it did. Members of the orchestra are: Alfred Aiken, Gladys Berge, Yvonne Blencoe, Juanita Clemetson, Margaret Cruttenden, Peggy Davis, Anne Elliot, Cecelia Erick- son, Eloise Foster, Inez Sue Fraser, Nancy Gardner, Marjorie Hanna, Alice Hayden, Marian Holt, Delmer Johnston, Bill McAllister, Jim McBride, Marjorie McBride, Bob Ryan, Ruth Sackett, Carol Shaffer, Priscilla 'Ferret, Ethel Walker, Shirley Wild, Virginia Young, Helen Bourne, and Betty Campbell. -75— CHORUSES CAROL.

With a mournful howl the Kyote loped off into the hills in the summer of 1940, to remain only a memory for a long year. Now with the return of its master—Mr. Walter Sanford, Jr.—from Panama, it has come back to roam our halls and brighten school life. Bringing odd news, gossipy news, straight news, it occupied a snug place in every locker for a week—and then came the downfall! Something was lacking—and it wasn’t the paper. Under the capable leadership of Editor Dick Weeks and the other staff heads, Norma Everson, Ailene Davis, Kieth Russell and Inez Sue Fraser, the paper started out with a bang. That something lacking was the absence of school patriotism in the “make-up” of prospective subscribers—the students! Many let their friends take care of the expense and they reaped the reading enjoyment. Thus, because it lacked the necessary funds, the Kyote was forced to discontinue weekly publications and become once more a twice-a-month paper. The Kyote’s goal was to present accurately and in as interesting a manner as possible all the news about the students and their school activities. Not only was this done, but at all times interesting reading was assured because only material of the greatest interest to the greatest number of people was published. —78— KYOTE PAPER IN NEW DRESS Sdtoolifa b IF Indian .Summer Me; .. • M-.dl.HM? • Oiundllinl f •Cm ‘rt l V� k.

ZZ With renewal of publication, the make-up of the Kyote paper was restyled for readability and attractiveness. Two main characteristics in the new appearance were a new headline schedule—definite patterns for every headline—and new type. Besides these two changes, a more modern page one make-up, combined with a more liberal use of cuts, gave the front page a pleasantly balanced appearance; the better grade of paper used—coated newsprint—made possible better reproductions. All these inno- vations—with the added attraction of cartoons—helped place the Kyote in the first- class rating in the National Scholastic Press Association annual critical service, and All-State in the Montana university ratings. —70— YEAH HOOK COVERS SCHOOL1FE IN AMRITIOUS JOURNAL Top left—Mr. Sanford, advisor.

This year we of the Kyotc Annual Staff have tried to do some things differently. As you first opened the hook, you couldn’t help hut notice that the 1942 annual is not just black and white. The two-color pictures are part of our new scheme. We worked hard to stretch the budget to get those and we’re proud of them. They take the place of the will and prophecy.. We’ve tried to tie the different sections together by the pictured antics of Koko, the Kyote. The art department of the staff had a lot of fun making Koko do things, but Eddie Diteman deserves most of the credit. He worked most of it out by himself, while the rest of the staff under the guidance of Bob Morrison worked on other parts of the annual. This book is for all of you, so we tried to make it seem more that way. Of course, we gave the seniors the spotlight. They deserve it. They’ve worked for four years for it. But you will notice that the classroom shots and the snaps are of all the kids —not just the seniors nor just one bunch. The editor of this year’s annual is Joyce Sampson. The art department, which was headed by Bob Morrison, did a very good job and they worked hard. Most of the mounting of pictures was done by Don Graves and Jim Johnson. The writing was done by Joyce Sampson, Inez Fraser, Ruth Sackett, and Mary Bridenbaugh. As you all probably know, Mr. Walter W. Sanford, Jr. was our sponsor, and we must say he did a very good job of it. This may be the last annual for “the duration.” We hope not. But if it is, we did our best to make it a lasting one. —80— r STAGE SPEECH “The Happy Journey The Man in the Bowler Hat The Ghost of Green Mansion Dramatics made a sweeping entrance into school life with the presentation of three one-act plays. As the best of the three presentations, the senior play, 1 he Man in the Bowler Hat ” was awarded a cup which is the first of the trophies to be pre- sented annually to the best one-act play. Novices in the art of drama, the junior and sophomore casts, nevertheless, gave very good performances in their respective pro- ductions—“The Ghost of Green Mansion” and “The Happy Journey.” SENIORS TAKE ONE-ACT PLAY TROPHY —82— BISHOP MISBEHAVES—REVIE TOP DRAMA OFFERINGS Top — Bob Ryan.

THE BISHOP MISBEHAVES Under the sponsorship of the speech department, and under the direction of Mr. Fred Miller, a three-act comedy called “The Bishop Misbehaves” was produced on the stage of the Billings high school auditorium. The play, a mystery involving a jewel robbery by a revengeful young nobleman, a chase through the rainy night, and a final clever solution by the unconventional Bishop himself, was a farce, with nothing subtle about it, and was enthusiasticaly enjoyed by a large audience. The opening scene is laid in an English pub—a dingy place, made more dusky and mysterious by the black rainy night—and the audience finds the young thief and his accomplice, the bartender, plotting to relieve a wealthy Mr. Waller of his wallet and his wife’s diamond necklace. With the aid of several other confederates—the chauffeur of Waller’s car, and French, a “fence”—the robbery is executed and the (Continued on next page) —83— plans go off perfectly; however, at this moment—just after the criminals have made good their escape-the slightly rotund Bishop of Broadmmstcr, a jolly clergyman fortunately most interested in crime detection, enters with his sister, Emily. He calms the blustery Mr. Waller and proceeds with a plan for apprehending the thieves, which works perfectly. He succeeds in getting the criminals to visit his place and sympa- thetically plays cat and mouse with them, while planning to reveal Mr. Waller a. the true villain—since the reason for the robbery in the first place was the embezzle- ment bv Mr. Waller of the young nobleman’s sweethearts father , Bishop’s hand is forced by Hester, the sweetheart, and he accuses Mr. Waller forth- right The situation has some rough going tor a while, since Waller chooses to be nasty about it; his wife, however, comes to the rescue, the embezzlement is rectified, the jewels are returned, and everyone is happy (except, perhaps, poor Mr. Waller). As the main play offering of this year, “The Bishop Misbehaves” was a hilarious success. The characters portrayed were: 1 he Bishop of Broadmtnster, Bob Morrison, Mr. Waller, Phil Jones; Hester, June Kildew; Donald, Frank C eree,Mrs; Waller, Jo Anne Brown; Emily, Gwen Hover; Red. the Bartender 1' rank Dickover, Collins, the Chauffeur, Boh Ryan; Frenchy, Phil McAllister; The Bishops Secre- tary.

U1 , Filling the auditorium to capacity March 20, an excited crowd boarded the Latt Limited,” senior high all-school revue, to enjoy a trip that included such pleasures as (Continued on Page 111) DEBATE Back row — Harriet Higbee. Dorothy Asbury, Mr. Fred Miller, advisor, Bob Be- gan, Carol See- bart. Seated— Gwen Hoyer, Miriam Penne- packer, Kathryn Spacht, Alice Spence. The debate team, which is sponsored by Masque and Gavel, has made several trips this year. They acted as host for the district tournament which was held on April 21. Under the leadership of Fred Miller, the team placed second in the district. The team entered the state meet at Missoula, May 14 to 15. I he subject for the debates under the high school league had to do with military training for hoys under the draft age, and was, therefore, very interesting. —84— CLASSROOMS AND III!AIN This year marks the second year of auto mechanics in the school curriculum. 'Flic instructor is Mr. Edgar Johnson. Every problem concerning the repair of the modern motor car during the year is considered and actual practice in repair is offered in the course. 1 his course is offered by the school as a part of an extensive practical curriculum recently added to the school’s wide va- riety of subjects. The Farm Shop has been an institu- tion in the school ever since the voca- tional agriculture course was begun several years ago. Here boys enrolled in the Smith-Hughes program learn to perform most of the mechanical and building jobs found needed in farm operation, under the direction of Mr. Z. G. Hudgin. All boys in the work must take this course. The Machine Shop is the mecca of many boys who are mechanically or aviation minded, for it is here that jun- iors receive instruction in metal working, using modern machinery such as the latest in metal turning lathes, cutters, and other machines common in a ma- chine shop, or in aviation mechanics. Mr. Thomas Purcell is the teacher. -86- AVIATION CLASSES MAKE B.H.S.’ BIGGEST WAR EFFORT This high school’s best contribution to the war effort is in the aviation me- chanics school operated at the municipal airport under the direction of Mr. A. B. Green. This school has the distinction of being the only free public course, government approved, of its kind. The work includes five different fields in airplane construction: Fuse- lage and wings, sheet metal, motors, riveting and welding. All boys taking the course must became proficient in these departments. The course covers two years’ work, resulting in govern- ment licenses as aviation mechanics, on passage of the government exams. The pictures on this page illustrate each of the five stages of work in the course. At the top several students are working on the fuselage of a plane brought in for repair. Second from top, is the sheet metal division. Here boys learn to handle sheet iron and later aluminum. In the motors division, all students must learn how to repair or check the complicated motors used in aviation. This is one of the most exacting jobs in aviation construction. In the last two pictures, the boys demonstrate riveting and welding, very necessary operations in the construction of airplanes. When the boys graduate they are ready for work as licensed mechanics in almost any airplane factory or repair station. —87— ‘‘Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me a buck!” Or so it seems that such comes from the speech classes. Poise, crisp diction and relentless argument polish each one of us. The “maps” are slightly re- versed here, but history is known to every student. The facts of past peoples and ages help to make us better people as we learn what has gone before. Figgers, figgers, figgers — and in bookkeeping that’s the business of learning. Here we learn to balance the budget and anything else in a business sort of way. Art classes are interesting, as can be seen by this picture. Em- phasis on drawing from life helps high school gals and guys to de- velop artistic ability to the highest. THE STUFF OF EDUCATION Chemistry lab is a fascinating enterprise of odd odors and sur- prising miracles. Laboratory life is the same throughout the school; investigation, experiment, and then —learning! On the first floor, girls of the school snip and sew, cook and bake, in the home ec department’s smart new quarters. Here the girls are putting together snappy clothes and stuff. Between classes, before classes, after classes, students of this school invest their pennies and dimes and nickels in defense stamps. In the flurry of going to school, we are not forgetting to help “Keep ’em flying, rolling, and winning!” Bowed heads, intense concentra- tion, and swiftly skimming fingers mark the activity in the typing room as embryo stenos practice dil- igently. “Eyes on the copy!” Library 3:29y2 p.m. SOCIAL WHIRL ASSEMBLIES JIVE AM) SWING TAKE OVER The lovely gels and the clean gentle- men depicted here remind us that at times we polish up our shoes, and put on our best hib and tucker to trip the light fantastic at the several formal par- ties given during the year. Here we are, hopping it at the Christmas formal. Although the scene here depicts just the opposite of the one above, we proud- ly donned our worst bib and tucker and hoofed it at the first Sadie Hawkins dance ever held in these parts. Ronnie Burnett is the blushing L’il Abner of the evening. His Sadie was Inez Sue F raser. Hickman’s Hot Shots let it drip at this dance which is just any of those Friday night affairs where you come just to swing and sway, let the jitter- bugs fall where they may. It is just such jive sessions that color our school life with fun and frolic. —92— ASSEMBLIES BREAK TIIL ROUTINE Break the routine is right—how dearly we love to drop everything and dash slowly for the gym or the auditorium to witness the antics of our classmates in a pep assembly or an outside enter- tainment. In such activities we find re- laxation and sometimes we may learn a bit, too, not knowing we are. Well, strip my gears, if’n it ain’t a bevy of dream boys makin’ out as if’n they was girls. Some chorus—from left to right (as usual)—Miss Joe Gerharz, Bob Scheeler, little Harold Holden, Gordenia Okerman, Jackie O’Donnell, Hod-to-Get O'Donnell, and blushing Haroldsy Smith. And so, with fun and stuff, we en- tertain ourselves with gyrations in the gym, with assorted assemblies, with speeches, and cheers, and plays, and guys and gals a-cuttin’ up something terrible. As we say, classes seem brighter after- wards. —93— DANCES AND ASSEMBLIES “All work and no play, makes Johnnie a dull boy ’ is a much used saying. So to keep Johnnie from being dull, the different clubs and organizations in the school have given a number of assemblies and dances this year. These assemblies and dances have varied a lot in many ways. Kinetic, Pep, Hido Hado, and Activity clubs all gave some good, peppy dances. Although the first few were not so well attended, they finally picked up until the clubs were making profits on them. The most popular dances were the ones after foot- ball or basketball games played here. There were always at least a few visiting rooters that came along with their home teams to the dances after the games. The formal dances this year have been especially good. The first one to be given during this school year was the Christmas formal in December. This was sponsored by Kinetic club. The gym was decorated as a winter scene with a large blue star in the ceiling. The next one was the spring formal in April. This was sponsored by Activity club and was brightened by decorations of many colored balloons. The next and last formal of the year was the junior-senior prom on May 23. The illusion of a garden party was created by the light, springy decorations at this lively dance. The Sadie Hawkins day dance on March 7 was in a little category all its own. This was the one dance of the year that everything was all mixed up. The girls asked the boys for the date several days ahead and pinned their tag on the man of their choice. These tags also served as the programs for the dance. Everyone wore their old clothes —the older the better it seemed. The best Li'l Abner at the dance was crowned after the Dogpatch Promenade, and a hilarious time was had by all. Another rather special dance was the Defense Stamp dance given on May 1. The admission to this get-together was the purchase of a 25-cent defense stamp—you even got to keep the stamp! Dick Hickman’s orchestra donated the very good music. There were not as many assemblies given this year as some other years, but the quality made up for the lack in quantity. Neither the basketball nor the football team played very many out-of-town games without some kind of an assembly for a send-off. We also got a glimpse of the genius of some of the boys along this line in several of these assemblies. A kick chorus of beautifully( ?) made-up boys in house coats formed the center of attraction in one assembly. Another assembly featured a classroom of bright little youngsters who could sing, dance, or rhyme the answers to all questions. And still another sponsored a jitterbug contest. One of the main assemblies of the year was a round-table discussion on the prob- lems confronting us by the declaration of war. This with a cartoonist, the Kilty Trumpeters, and several speakers filled out the more educational program of assemblies. —94— SPORTS BIIONCS SHARE 1941 GRID TITLE WITH BUTTE The Billings Brones held the Butte Bulldogs to a 7-7 tie on Thanksgiving day to share the state championship. The contest, held in Bute, was played under clear skies before a crowd of 8,000. Although the field was poor, it was a fast, close game right up to the gun. This was Coach Clyde Carpenter’s fifth championship team in ten years of coaching here. Three other years the Broncs were runners-up. Billings high began its season very effectively with a 12-0 win over Casper, an old-time rival of the Broncs. In the second game of the season, the Broncs walked over the Bozeman Hawks with a 32-6 score. The next game was their first Big Six schedule game of the season for Billings, at which the Broncs defeated the Misosula Spartans 6-0. The Broncs then took to the road to meet Sheridan, which fell to Billings, 19-0. However, this was not a Big Six scheduled game. The Helena Bengals then fell to the Broncs 28-13. The Broncs moved on to Great Falls, drubbing the Bison 34-21. The next game proved that the Broncs could take it as well as give it, when they fell to Butte, 31-6. The Broncs rallied after this defeat and crushed the Anaconda Copperheads, 47-6. The Broncs were then challenged by the Havre Blue Ponies to see which team would pla Butte for the state championship. The challengers fell to the Broncs, 7-0 in a game played here in a severe snowstorm. For their outstanding ability on the gridiron, Benny Auck, Dave Anderson, Gene Todd, and Dick Lorenz were named to the all-state team. Jack Oberweiser, Don Hagerman, Dick Hagerman, George Keevert, Harris Croonquist, Rueben Hofferber, John Worth, Bob Buckmiller, Dick O’Donnell, Jim Lyons, and Frank Asav made second or third all-state dream teams, or received honorable mention. The members of the “A” squad this year were Dick O’Donnell, quarterback; Gene Todd, halfback; Jim Lyons, halfback; Don Hagerman, guard; Bob Buckmiller, fullback; Carl Payne, quarterback; Bob Clapper, guard; John Worth, end; Benny Auck, guard; Don Booke, quarterback; Dick Hagerman, tackle; Jack Oberweiser, guard; Junior Perrigo, center; Harris Croonquist, tackle; Phil Lunday, guard; Bob Taylor, center; Rueben Hofferber, guard; Hardin Todd, guard; Angelo Rameriz, end; Bud Gullickson, halfback; Lloyd Mitzner, fullback; Jack Dugan, guard; Harold Turnquist, tackle; Frank Asay, halfback; Bill Reid, end; Dick Lorenz, end; Dave Anderson, end; George Keevert, tackle; Bill Knaub, guard; Don Healow, guard; Dan Michunovich, halfback; Don Lindgren, guard; Carl Johnson, end. Don Hagerman and Jim Lyons were co-captains for the season. Hardin Todd, a tackle, is the captain-elect. 4 —96— Top row—Harris Croonquist, tackle; George Keevert, tackle; Rueben Hofferber, guard; John Worth, center; Junior Perrigo, center; Benny Auck, guard (all-state); Harold Turnquist, tackle.

Billings also tied for second in the Big 16. Starting slowly with a two-game loss, the Broncs began to find themselves and struck into a ten-game winning streak that at one time carried them to the top of the conference only to retreat to fifth place after a disastrous road trip north against Great Falls and Havre. But the fates of basketball so arranged that through losses of leading teams at the end of the season, the Broncs managed to tie for second place with Butte in the conference. Big George Michotte, sophomore all-state center, led the conference in scoring with 216 points for 20 gams. Harold Holden, captain, played a stellar and inspiring game at forward, as did Junior Perrigo, all-state forward. Perrigo is captain-elect for next year. Marcel Pages and Bob Eaton at the guards completed the first string. Outstanding play was also turned in by Dave Anderson at guard, Rucben Hofferber, forward, and Dick O’Donnell, forward. The rest of the first string included Charles Lowe, forward, Jim Battin, center, and Carl Payne, forward. All got into most of the games, but the burden of the season was carried by the first five.

Coach Gene Pearson’s call for track this year saw between 40 and 50 candidates show up, led by state mile champion, Fred Trenklc, who last year set a new state record for the mile, beating Gregg Rice s record by two- tenths of a second. Meets were few and far between this year with the war affecting the number of meets, so that Billings appeared in a local meet with Laurel and Columbus, in the Tri-county meet at Columbus as non-competitors, and won the annual Billings Poly meet. Fred Trankle won the half and mile at the state meet at Missoula this year. Billings placed third with 31 l i points. MINOII SI’OIITS Minor sports this year as last featured golf and tennis. Last year, Ronnie Burnett won the state interscholastic singles at Missoula but failed to place this year. In golf, Johnny Ruedi, a ninth grader, won the 1942 interscholastic golf tournament with 162. Tournaments for tennis players were held for both girls and boys. Annie Fraser last year won the girl’s singles, and Ronnie the boys. —100— B SQUAD HAS BEST SEASON SINCE 1936 Back row — Grossman, Karterud, prynsteari, Yegen, Tipling, Morledge.

It soon recovered, winning over Columbus 19-13 in a fast contest. The Colts met and overpowered the Big Timber Sheepherders 24-7. They then met a surprisingly strong Carbon County team and lost their second game of the season 19-6, then won a close, hard game over Bridger, 26-19. Worden was the last opponent of the season, falling to the Colts 33-6 on November 7. The “B” squad finished the season with a .667 average, their most successful season since 1936 and one of the best in the history of Billings High. YELL TEAM Martha O’Donnell, Pat Farnum, Bob Scheeler, Annie Fraser, and Kay Moris. Pep was the main characteristic of the yell team this year. They were present at all football and basketball games, and added zip to many, many assemblies. Several new yells and formations were introduced to the student body and received with great enthusiasm. The yell team also sponsored an all-school dance during the year. —101— STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS Walter Griffin Clyde Carpenter Kenneth Powell Behind the B rones, who won two state championships this year, in basketball, and a tie with Butte in football, is a group of three men whose teachings and leadership have made these teams possible. They are the coaches: Clyde Carpenter, head coach; Walter Griffin, assistant coach; and Kenneth Fowell, B squad coach. Carpenter has so far the following record for his 10 years as coach in Billings: five state championships, three runners- up, and two years out of the money. In basketball, one champion- ship, two runners-up. Griffin has been in Billings five years, and Fowell nine. Gene Pearson, coach of track, has developed some outstanding tracksters in his regime as mentor here. Although his teams have never won a state meet, he has developed many outstanding track stars, most notably Fred Trankle, the present holder of the state mile run record. Billings teams have consistently won the Poly annual meet, and smaller local ones. Gene Pearson —102— CALENDAR DEAR DIARY-WHAT DEAR DIARY: I still can’t believe it, but school has actually started again. Iliose three little months of vacation vanished like three quarts of ice cream served to thirty people — there just wasn’t enough of it to really he enjoyable or even to go around. In fact, I was so busy catching up on lost sleep that those extra pounds are still following me around. (I know I promised you a fall figure like Lana Turner’s, hut just wait till next summer.) But nobody can stumble ’round in a peace- ful daze for long on account of those pesky sophomores—they’re just too darned energetic for the opening day of school. as-s-s . . . SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER 3—found all 272 sopho- more girls squeezed and squashed into Miss Leonard’s office, waiting to sign up for dif- ferent clubs. When the last “remnant” was scraped off the floor and sent to class, we found that Pep club led the list as the most popular, with Kinetic coming in second. SEPTEMBER 7—Ah-h-h, art and culture have come to our dear, old halls, or else the authorities are trying to reform Billings Hi into a post-office in a very sub-tie way. What- ever the reason behind this new movement, tho, we’re going to have murals on classroom walls illustrating, in natural color, activities and industries in the vicinity of Billings. SEPTEMBER 13- Heh! Heh! Heh! Re- venge was our’n tonite when we waltzed through Casper’s line—in the first game of the season—and chalked up a score of 12 to 0. We 3,500 football fans were yelling for blood ’cuz the Mustangs beat us last year. P. S.—George Keevert broke his nose - - ! ? SEPTEM B E R 19—Y eow-ow-ow-ow—the Kyote’s back again after a year’s hibernation and were we glad to see its gossipy face. Now maybe we busy seniors can keep up on the latest scandal and still complete the assign- ments they, our lords and masters, the teach- ers, are burying us under. SEPTEMBER 21—Gaze upon me in awe, please! 1 just bought q dollar band-concert ticket which will help put our band into snazzy new uniforms that’ll be the envy of every other organization in the state! SEPTEMBER 26—Pep Club lived up to its name this afternoon when it gave a rousing assembly reviewing the year’s coming attrac- tions. Hm-m-m-m, never knew Mary Briden- baugh, Margaret Hammerstrom, and Ruth Martin could sing so well - - - SEPTEMBER 27—Three cheers for us or the team or somebody cuz we beat Missoula tonite (6 to 0) in our first Big Six game— maybe it was because Jimmy Lyons (other half of our captaincy) was in the starting lineup for the first time since his operation. OCTOBER DEAR DIARY: OCTOBER 8—Got some swell hints on how to wash sweaters at an all-girl assembly today. The presidents of A.K., Hido Hado, Kinetic, Pep, and “Y” clubs—Swords, Skaggs, Collison, Fraser, and Staehnke respectively— spoke about their organizations, also, and an- swered my unspoken question of just what they do with the hard-earned money 1 squan- der in dues. Me for the two new clubs! One’ll give me a chance to earn some much needed extra money (Pin Money Club) and the other’ll let me develop my favorite hobby without little-brother interference. OCTOBER 10—Wore myself to a frazzle tonite, at “U” club’s all-girl mixer, doing square dances and “sich, and laughing at Gwen Hover’s prize tramp costume. They were handing out prizes for everything, but ’course I couldn’t even win the door prize! OCTOBER 11—Stayed in bed late this morning so’s to be full of “vim, vigor, and vitality” for the Helena game tonight and the Pep dance after - - - was I glad I did, too, ’cuz we won (28-13) and we really had a victory dance. OCTOBER 15 — Pessimistic droops are saying there’s no more school spirit, but we know they’re wrong ’cuz our five new cheer leaders—Bob Scheeler, Chuck Kolstad, Joe Gerharz, Annie Fraser, Kay Morris — are really going to pep up our assemblies and games. Yes-s, those drippy days are gone for- ever, now! OCTOBER 17—Club joiners are having a field day this year with new organizations popping up every few weeks—just found out today that the Y.W.C.A. has formed two branches of a “Y” Club. —104— . . WOW! YEAR • • OCTOBER 19—Oh, gosh—did 1 ever have a heavenly time—and am I ever tired— but it was worth it. Twelve of us left Billings Friday morning—in two cars, and we were squashed tight what with luggage and stuff— and arrived in Great Falls just in time for a snake dance and pep rally. All thoughts of food just naturally vanished when we saw all those peppy kids singing and yelling with their cheer leaders. Saturday dawned a perfect day in every way—we met kids and kids and kids—drank cokes to each other—bought ourselves mums with big “B's” on ’em—ate all day and went to a super dinner at one of the gang’s house as a climax that could only be topped by our beating the locals (Great Falls) 34 to 21. OCTOBER 23—Haven’t got much time 'cuz we got a whole extra day’s vacation on account of the teachers meeting in Miles City. More later--- OCTOBER 24—You’d look like a haggy- bag, too, if your favorite team had been scalped 31 to 6 for their first season loss. To make it worse, it had to be Butte! Oh, well, we’ll “mow ’em down” next time—specially ’cuz Gene Todd will be back in the lineup after his injury. OCTOB E R 28— (S igh) 1 Ve j ust regai ned the ten years 1 lost during the last three weeks! I ake my word for it. helping to pro- duce those three one-act plays—the project of Masque and Gavel—proved a full-time job. It was really fun for everyone, but there was a general sigh of relief when the evening was climaxed by the awarding of a trophy to the senior class cast for their “The Man in the Bowler Hat.’ OCTOBER 30—Why am I chuckling? Fiendish, isn’t it? You see I just scared that little boy next door half out of his wits (I guess that makes him a moron ’cuz he was only half-witted in the first place). I was disappointed tho, ’cuz. it took just one look at my face to do the trick, and I had lots of other “surprises” planned. He’s made himself obnoxious ever since September, and I couldn’t ever hit him back ’cuz he’s just a shrimp. But Hallo we1 en has “gived” me ray opportunity, and 1 guess 1 can contain myself now till April Fool’s day—but just wait till then- NOVEMBER DEAR DIARY: NOVEMBER 4—It’s about time—that's all 1 can say. For three years now we’ve been without class officers, so everybody was ex- cited when elections came up today. If I may say so, we proved our ability to vote, too, when we chose Dick O’Donnell as our presi- dent ; in fact, we didn’t do so bad with the other officers—-Farnum, Lyons, Weeks, and Fraser respectively. NOVEMBER 6—Juniors and sophs had their turn today and greeted Bill Ernst and George Keevert as their respective presidents. Who knows—maybe student government will he the next step—we hope! NOVEMBER 7—Hm-m-m-m! Looks like the boys are doing some club-forming of their own—it’s a nice name, too—Gear and Pinion. My Kyote says Mr. Purcell is the sponsor--- N () V E M B E R 14—N othing’s happening— in fact, it’s just plain dead around here. Oh, it’s not that nothing is going to happen ’cuz there’s lots of things being planned - - - Ki- netic’s planning the Xmas formal (Margaret Hammcrstrum, chairman) - - - Joyce Samp- son, as editor, is getting the 1941-42 annual under way------Masque and Gavel’s getting DEAR DIARY-THIS WAS B. H.

NOVEMBER 20—Yihoo-o-o-o! We beat Havre 7 to 0! Now maybe 1 can get that new reefer for the trip to Butte. Cross your fingers, please! NOVEMBER 21—Three cheers for the “B” squad ’cuz they’ve made such a good showing this year. Mr. Fowell said today that this has been one of the most successful seasons in B.H.S. histon'. NOVEMBER 24—Got my pitcher tooken at Hester’s today (they’re supposed to make you glamorous, ya’ know - -) cuz all seniors have to have their new faces in print by December 12, and 1 want to give them plenty of time to work on mine. NOVEMBER 27—It’s here—the cham- pionship game—and so am 1! (1 got the coat, though, so that’s a little comfort.) Moms planning the dinner for after the game ’cuz we’re so excited now, we keep running around bumping into each other. Oh, oh see ou later—that was the kick-off—Butte receiving. WE WON!!!!!!..................only got a couple of ribs broken in the bargain. ( Dick Lorenz) ’Course Butte got haW of the cham- pionship, (the score was 7 to 7) but anybody who heard or saw the game knows we out- classed 'em. Let’s see-e-e-e-this makes our third championship in the last four years. DECEMBER DEAR DIARY: DECEMBER 1—Jeepers! Not only are we cham-peens but four husky, he-man gridders got all-state mention in two polls. “Scrapiron’ Auck, “Brick” Todd, and “Raw Bones” An- derson are on the first string of the Associated Press team, and, also, on the Butte Post team with the addition of Rich Lorenz. DECEMBER 5—Whee-e-e! We’ve got a date bureau now. I guess Kinetic decided the boys needed a little push to get them started asking to the Xmas formal—gosh, they need something to cure their “bashfulitis” - - - DECEMBER 7—If you’ve ever seen an egg disappear into thin air, you 11 know how confused I felt when Lee Grabel — he’s a famous magician, in case you didn t know started performing such tricks as the Hindu Turban, the Floating Light, the Deceptive Egg, and the Walking Stick mysteries. Every time I start thinking about it even, my mouth involuntarily falls open. DECEMBER 8—Me for the Date Bu- reau! He popped the question, today ; and 1 didn’t even try to act coy about deciding, but just blurted out, “Yes!” He looked so smug, tho, that now 1 wish I’d kept him in suspense —darn! DECEMBER 12—Went to the concert- chorus and orchestra—this afternoon. Music was swell and the orchestra gals looked pretty as flowers in their brightly colored formals. DECEMBER 15—Through underground grapevines, word has come that Hardin Red Todd will captain the 1942 Brones. 1 he fellas made a good choice cuz he’s not only friendly, but also a capable player and leader. Guess I’ll have to wish him lots of luck this year on account of next year I’ll be a graduate! DECEMBER 17—Laughed myself three pounds lighter (just wishful thinking) at the “Bishop Misbehaves” tonite. Bob Morrison, as the bishop, was really comical, and his spinster sister’s attempts to stray from the straight and narrow path kept us in stitches. Whoever didn’t go missed fifty cents worth of fun for only a quarter. DECEMBER 19—We got a triple swell treat in the way of assemblies today when Kinetic gave us a super program, spiced with the introduction of the local glamor girls, those six gorgeous (and friendly) candidates for Xmas queen—Nancy Jo Skaggs, Alberta Shogren, Rudy Sackett, Leone Lillis, Betty Keefe, and Inez Sue Fraser. That wasn’t all, tho, ’cuz for the first time we heard that jit- terin’, jivin’, swingin’ “Boogie Woogie Band” played by the hand. P.S.—It’s colossal!!!! DECEMBER 22—What if my feet do hurt? What if my hair does look like seaweed? I’m happy! It was perfect------the brilliant blue and sparkling white decorations added just enough glamor . . . the music was dreamy ---the coronation was thrilling (Susie hraser looked thrilled, too, when Mary Collison pre- sented her with the crown of white carnations and blue cornflowers)------gee-e-e, but 1 m sleepy, tho-o-o------ 106— CHAMPIONSHIP YEAR-YIPPEE! DECEMBER 26—A.K.’s dance was really a success ’cuz everybody just had to find out what everybody else got for Xmas. From the oh’s and ah’s I gathered that somebody, be- sides me, had had the most perfect Xmas ever! JANUARY DEAR DIARY: JANUARY 5—Back to the old grind with nothing much to cheer us up ’cuz we just won two of our first four baskethall games. Guess I’ll have to stir up a liT excitement for myself and join the Red Cross classes starting soon ----every little bit helps. JANUAR 9—Just beat Bozeman and Livingston----we’re getting a little better. JANUARY 13—Congratulated all the new presidents today. (In case you didn’t know till now that there were new ones—Dorothy Gates, Pep; Corrine VVogan, A.K.; Rudy Sackett, Kinetic; Norma Everson, Hido Hado. JANUARY' 16—“Part helps part!” Gee, 1 hope so, ’cuz I’d hate to be eating these creamed brains for nothing. But ten dollars is not to be sneezed at—that’s the first prize in the all-school revue script contest, sponsored by Masque and Gavel. Anyway, here goes (for better or for worse) - - - “Once upon a time-----” JANUARY 18—Guess the boys were jeal- ous ’cuz the girls were getting laurels for the Red Cross work, so now they’re guarding the airport. (None of ’em are listening now, so I can break down and admit that it’s really pretty swell of ’em to do it!) JANUARY 20 — “Calling time out for members of all-girl clubs! Calling time out for rest!” Rest is right! First it was selling theater tickets to earn money to decorate 116 as a club room; now it’s passing collection plates at all the theaters for the “March of Dimes.” Don’t misunderstand me, tho, cause we aren’t complaining. In fact, we love to be busy. JANUARY 23—Woe is me! Another dol- lar—just gone with the wind. ’Course I won’t feel this wray when I actually get my annual this spring, but a piece of paper saying that Mabel P. Higgenbthenelt has paid one dollar on the 1942 Kyote annual just doesn’t seem like much to be cheerful over---- JANUARY' 27—I’m a representative - - - I’m a representative--tra-la-la-la-la. I don’t know whether I have to do anything, but I got “choosed” for the Student Council, any- way. Way back ’fore I was even in school, they had student government, and now it’s back again---to stay if everybody digs in and cooperates. JANUARY 29—Whee-ee-ee-ee! Those ru- mors about a Sadie Hawkins Day turned into cement when Dorothy Gates, Pep president, appointed Inez Sue Fraser as chairman of the committee to plan and stage it. JANUARY 31—For a penny you can take a look at me! Ya see, I’m a classmate of the fellas on the team that’s just won its tenth consecutive game by beating Havre 41 to 22. (Friday it was Anaconda, 46 to 25!) Guess that calls for some celebrating! FEBRUARY DEAR DIARY: FEBRUARY 2—We’re on the air! I don’t mean anybody special just now, but KGHL is starting a regular weekly program called DEAR DIARY-WHAT A YEAR “In Our Schools,” featuring all the depart- ments of study. So maybe we’ll all get our chance at radio fame! FEBRUARY 4—1 guess I forgot to men- tion it at the time, but the other day we senior girls voted on the girl we believed to be most outstanding in the high school. It is the high- est honor a high school girl can receive. Pat Farnum won this D.A.R. award with Inez Sue Fraser and Joyce Sampson tying for sec- ond. I know Pat will prove a worthy repre- sentative for Billings. FEBRUARY 7—I’m ink-red-louse (in- credulous—if you must know). I’m flabber- gasted! I’m speechless - - - so I m writing this, here and now! Our team has just dropped to fifth place in the Big 16 conference. All be cause we lost to Great Falls (44 to 28) and to Havre (33 to 24)! FEBRUARY 10—First meeting of student council - - - “Pinky” Oberweiser was elected president - - - it’s my personal opinion that he’s going to make a swell one. All we’ve got to do now is to find something to reform! One of the most active clubs last semester, Masque and Gavel promises bigger and better things under its new president. Bob Morrison, who was elected at a banquet tonite. (He suc- ceeds Bill Connor.) FEBRUARY 13—Club members are going frantic trying to keep their hair put up so they will look their best when the club they ’re in gets its picture taken for the yearbook. FEBRUARY 16—A.K. won the prize for selling the most tickets to “ 1 he Little foxes, dam it all. (I wanted our club to get it, but the Actives really worked hard and deserve it)! Now they get to have a spiffy theater party! FEBRUARY 17—Not dads and daughters, but fathers and sons got together for a rousing good time at the F.F.A. banquet in the cafe- teria tonight. 1 peeked in and you should have seen all the good food---! FEBRUARY 20—Three cheers! We dun it! Yes, the Billings Boosters finally brought Broadview to Billings and Don Healow’s All- Stars tangled successfully with the Broad- viewers. FEBRUARY 24 RUSSELL GETS EDITORSHIP! (Gerharz, Davis, Fraser rohbed). Before Dick Weeks resigned his post to go to work, Keith made an able assistant editor. All fooling aside, we know he’s going to do a swell job of keeping the Kyote right up there on top! FEBRUARY 25—“Is the United States now engaged in total war? 1 hat was the question discussed at a round table discussion held as an assembly today to celebrate Wash- ington’s birthday. It really went over big - - - with all the speakers doing themselves proud and Murray Williams keeping the whole thing moving. (Miss Johnson and Miss Macintosh were the instigators of this success.) FEBRUARY 26—Lemme see-e-e? Who’ll 1 vote for? Ronnie Burnett, Harris Croon- quist, Joe Gerharz, Dick Lorenz, Jim Lyons, Gordie Okerman, Bob Scheeler, Bud Schuyler, Donny Hagerman, or Johnny Worth? Pep Club chose them as the candidates for Li’l Abner, and all the ferns will vote on ’em at an all-girl assembly. Nobody will know’ who the winner is until he’s crowned during the Dogpatch Promenade (cute for grand march —huh?) at the Sadie Hawkins dance. Oh, boy! I can hardly wait till tagging starts. And I know I’ll get my man cuz “Mah feet is mah fate” and I’ve been practicing up on my running. FEBRUARY 27—All those brains didn’t do me any good after all ’cuz they just an- nounced that Inez Sue Fraser and Dorothy Mae Asbury arc the winners of the ten dollars in the script contest. The “Laff Limited (that’s what they call it) has already gone into production—with a cast of about 60— and the co-authors will assist Air. Miller as student directors. Some fun, huh? FEBRUARY 28—Flash! Last-minute news on the basketball games----we aren t in the running, but we’ll come right up on top at the state and district meets - - - with George Michotte as the state’s leading scorer, Billings takes this honor for the third year in a row - - - the Slippery Rocks beat the Wolves to win the intramural championship in the “A league----the Gaels win the “B” league----- Missoula’s up on top in the conference. MARCH DEAR DIARY: MARCH 5—“A tag in the hand is worth a stag in the rush.” Us gals let that be our motto when Sadie Hawkins tagging started today. Everybody was rushing around like mad trying to beat somebody else to the man of their choice.

I he Kiwanis club and the band members raised the money for these new outfits which are really tops. Ten peppy flag twirlers and ten high-stepping drum majorettes added to the appearance of the snappy 60-piece marching band. This has been the band’s most active and popular year. Besides playing for the football and basketball games and assemblies here at school, it was busy with civic activities, concerts and radio programs. At all performances, the audience never tired of the band’s music which ranged from classical to the ever-popular “boogie woogie pieces. This spring several band members went to the state music meet at Missoula and came away with top honors, while the band as a whole received a first division rating at the local music festival in April. Mr. Stanley Richards, the well-liked director, has shown, this year more than ever, his ability in building, up a great band. The band members and the high school students want to show their thanks for the fine piece of work he has done this year, and will continue to do in the future. We are all proud of our band—the largest, snappiest, and best musically ever to represent Billings High. (Continued from Page 108) at the dance - - - well, 1 just guess you d better go. MARCH 7—It ivas the success of the year! Railroad engineers danced with pinafored dam- sels; a tramp wtih bandaged toe twirled with a dream in blue; a thug from ‘‘toity-tewd street promenaded with a sub-deb; red spats and yellow socks whirled with pigtails; every- thing was perfect! 'I o top it, Ronnie Burnett was crowned Li’l Abner (with a crown of carrots) and reigned over an elegant Prom- enade. Me for having a Sadie Hawkins dance every year. P.S.—I just found out that that is just what the Pep Club intends to do! MARCH 12-13-14—They’re invading the town! Teams and fans from Glendive, Sidney, Butte, Bozeman, Anaconda, Miles City, and Livingston stormed into Billings today for the Southern Division Class A tournament. (1 he winners go to state meet at Livingston, 26 to 28.) After three days of fun it’s over, with us the division champs (we beat Butte) and Ana- conda the consolation champs! They can’t stop us now and we’ll be state champs before any- one knows it!!! MARCH 20—The “Laff Limited” pulled into an overflowing auditorium Friday to give one of the best shows of the year—they rolled in the aisles. With such star attractions as dancers Diteman, Elliott, Farnum, Blencoe, Burnett, Hischer, and the football chorus . . . the quiz kids, Cramer Schultz, Annie Fraser, Joyce Logan, Jim Delano . . . comedians Joe Gerharz, Larry Taylor, Frank Lundquist, Warren Barthman.

Although this is quite a decrease in membership compared with former years, the chorus, under the direction of Mr. Charles R. Cutts, is still very active in many programs. Because of lack of both members and the proper voices, the group decided not to give an operetta as has been an annual event in past years. However, the chorus appeared in several Sunday afternoon concerts which were open to the public. On April 11, the chorus traveled to the Lewistown music festival and appeared both individually and in a massed group. I'he group was judged and they received a very high rating. On April 25, the Midland Empire music festival was held in Billings. 1 he chorus sang in two individual appearances and again in a massed group. They were judged by Mr. John Lester of the University of Montana who gave them a superior rating. As their final appearance of the year, the chorus sang at baccalaureate held on Sunday, May 31. Ending on this fine occasion, we close the chapter of another year with this grand musical organization. B Chorus The B chorus of Billings senior high school is a girls’ glee club of some thirty-five members. 1 hey also are trained by Mr. Cutts. 1 his organization made several fine appearances this year. I hey sang in one of the Sunday afternoon concerts and also made an individual appearance in the Midland Empire music festival, receiving a very high rating. Along with the A chorus, they sang several times over the radio. Their final appearance of the ear was also at baccalaureate when they joined in a massed group with the mixed chorus. —116— Is the Answer to Modern Living Problems REFRIGERATION COOKING To Build Health T o Conserve F oods COOK with GAS BILLINGS GAS COMPANY ----------1 Quttsieqi STYLES FOR YOUNG WOMEN AND { WOMEN WHO STAY YOUNG --------------------------------- T ‘‘Flowers Say It Better” SALSBURYS FLORIST 2708 Second Ave. N.
