F the Kyote 1944 Editor - B usin ess Alamujer Art Editor - Features - - Annie Fraser Hon Kesselheim - Bettie Moore Gloria Heath Dedication We ll never forget you who are away — you from Billings High School who are now in the service of your country, on the land, on the sea, and in the air. You helped to carry on our traditions and build new ones, and all of you are re- membered—the football tackle, the shy, reserved fellow, and the fun- loving jitterbug, the hard-working, ambitious boy, the basketball hero, the scholar, and the untamed one. ou who studied and learned and laughed and were gay in the halls of our school are missed, and we are proud to dedicate this annual to you. 3oreword Pictures—names—everything: is here. The clubs you have been in—many of the activities you have participated in—the sports you have enjoyed—the fellow classmates you knew—the teachers you have known and grown to like. Friends move about or pass on—but may this annual bring those friends back to you as you review its contents. We, the Kyote Staff of 1944, hope it will bring back in the more somber years of the future—recollections of your senior high days in old H. H. S.

To the Missing Teachers In the Service: The Student Body of the Billings High School salutes the members of the faculty that have left for service in the armed forces of the United States.

Much praise goes to the Stamp Girls for their conscientious effort in the sale of defense stamps. This program has been carried out during the entire school year— sale every Wednesday. There was an average of $100 or more each week on the sale of stamps, which does not include the bonds purchased outside of school. Girls participating in the stamp sale for the year 1043-44 were: Carol Townsend, Peggy Berryman, Hazel Pride, Betty Young, and Dorothy Miller. -• 15 ►- Sophomores •«4 17 ►- Sentor SH.LStory Greeting Grads .... This is the year . . 1944 . . this is the eventful day when we graduate. Gradua- tion! that wonderful day we’ve been struggling for through classes year after year. It’s here . . but all too soon. Remember those blissful!) bewildering daze of our Freshman year. We were big-shots in Junior High, and all the dances and doings were presided over by us. W e were quite proud of it until, as Sophomores, we stepped through the portals dominated by a groovy set of Seniors. What a bunch of Seniors . . we saw action! Assemblies, operettas, clubs, football, basketball, and dances! Through our childish minds glimmered the hope that some day we would be like them. Then our boobv-sox brigade passed into the Junior stage. We doggedly followed the Seniors and ignored the Sophomores. W e became important to school activities, and our pep and nerve-racking boisterousness at games became the talk of the town. 4 18 ►- Came June, we hysterically leaned from third floor windows shouting, “Yippee! We’re Seniors!” I hat frantic fall found us going to the same foothall games, hut sporting our very own Senior guys galloping to victory, game after game. We came in second in the championship game hut received a “duzy” of a trophy and the boys got their silver footballs. Basketball brought large crowds to the bleachers of the gym and to their feet in the exciting tourneys and tussles with out-of-town teams. It s our year to shine. I his war has made us grow up a little faster, and we leave school to take part in its immensity. School has become a piece of our lives we cannot forget . . . with such carefree memories 1 am sure we shall do our part much better, knowing that the kind of living we cherish most is offered to us in school. She 'Boys Service 1943-44 We cannot give enough recognition to those boys who have gone into the service of our country. There have been so many from our school that it would be impossi- ble to name all and not slight a few. We have, therefore, just listed those who would still be in school if duty had not called first. We are proud to acknowledge you as former Billings High School students. Adams.

Award, presented by the local chapter of The Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution. Three girls, outstanding for their citizen- ship, scholarship, and likable personalities, are chosen by the vote of all the senior girls. The girl presented with the honor this year is Annie Fra- ser. Those receiving honorable mention are Harriet Welsh and Jean Drew. Every year, names of girls winning this award are sent in from all over the state. One name is drawn, and the lucky girl is given a trip to Washing- ton, D. C. with expenses paid. Because of the war, this year they are given a hundred dol- lar war bond instead. -HI 37 ►- (Junior Glass Jiistory Choosing an appropriate theme song of “Why Don’t We Do Right Like The Seniors Do?” we Jivey Ju- niors have tried to act at least partly civilized. But next year we must for- get our almost barbarious manners and act, as we will he—Sensible Se- niors! Ah. hut to look hack, before we hurry forward to catch the caps tossed up by the Seniors— Junior life presented its problems— should we dig in and “study” (where does an alien go to register?) burn- ing the well-known midnight oil at both ends, or, should we. in efferves- cent numbers, be present at such ac- tivities as football, basketball, dances, rallies, and tournaments (silly ques- tion!) as it is already a known fact that we had a lot to do with all these activities. Assemblies presented an ar- ray of much-in-demand Junior talent. Junior Gals supported and attended the school clubs and social events, not to mention using their free time in doing Red Cross work. The Junior Men, along with outstanding Seniors and up-and-coming Sophomore play- ers, balanced a championship football team. And will we ever forget our hard struggle in competing for standing-room—or any kind of room on “our” second floor, with Seniors and Sophomores really a job in itself! When Freshmen, we looked forward to becoming Juniors, the most envied class of all, because they aren't the greenest, and still they aren’t the most glamorous. Now the time has come and gone. Oh, well—“Time Goes By”, but wh get morbid—we still have one more year of fun and laughter. Since the Sophomores are stepping into the Junior strata with the chant “The Time is Now.” we Juniors are being speeded into our supreme sphere as Seniors. But being juniors was such fun, wasn’t it? -•«K 38 - ♦ ♦ ♦ JIMOIIS ♦ ♦ ♦ Billie Jo Adams I LA AHLGREN Jean Alexander Rayford Alkire Ehvie AMEN Bob Anderson Eileen Anderson LEIGHTON ANDERSON Alice Armstrong Kathleen Arnold Jean ashlev Winifred Avery Richard Baker Marlys Ballard Beverly Beaumont Billy Bell Mary Berscheid Norma Besinque Gerald Bishop Ruth Blick Dick Boale Alven Bracken Leonard Brakke Kenneth Braley John Brinkle Blanche Brock John Brynestad Lucille Burgess David Burton Bill Bustell Leslie Campbell Harlan Carpenter Dorothy Coleman Phyllis Conover Catherine Cook -«sf 39 ♦ ♦ ♦ .11X1011 ♦ ♦ ♦ Bob Cooke Alice Corwin Lola Cox Virginia Cramer Nancy Critelli William Cunneen Mary Cunningham Mina Cunningham Norma Daniels Kenneth Davenport Gordon Davidson Carolyn Davis Mayme Jean Davis Esther Dawson Ruth Daylong Joise Denney Oliver Dickey Irene Donohoe Doris downs Glen Drake Walter Duncan Avis Dustin Mildred Ehlenburg Wayne Ellingson Marjorie Emery Marian Erickson Woody Erickson Jack Evans Don Fagerberg Bob Fahrenbruck Joe Farrell Betty Ferguson Donalo Forbes Carl Francis Vera Frederisy ♦ ♦ ♦ JI MOItS ♦ ♦ ♦ TED FRISBY Tom Fulton Marguerite gabel Arthur Galster Bill Germeraad Jack Gibbs Jackie Gies Mary Jeanne Gilbert John Gilk Alice Glennon Marion Gocdman George Granse Phyllis Graves Emil Griebel Frank Grieve Robert Groscop Roger Grosgebauer Harold Grosskop Earl Halverson Marjie Hammer Oscar Hanson Oliver Harker Dick Harris Vivian Heald Gloria Heath Merl n Hedin Jean Heffner James Heimbichner Marie helgeland Virginia Herzog Myron Hetland Ernest Hiber Robert Higa Wayne Hiller Ralph Hogan -4 41 j Roberta Hollister Glory Jean Horst Coleyne Hull Dorman Hurick Don Hurwitz Wally Huston Mary Jameson Raymond Jenness Frankie Johnston Betty Kamlowsky Jean Kasai Dona Keepers George Keller Betty Kelly Howard Kenna Victor Kennedy Angelica Kindsfater Donald knoll Sylvia Kober BETTY KOCH Dixie Koch Oliver Koch Harry Kramer Esther Lackman Rose Marie Lackman Vivian Lackman Morris Lamborn Clem Lambrecht Bernice LaMotte Lucille Larsen Lucille Ledo Roger Lerwill Dorothy Leseman Sheila Longacre Marjorie Loudermilk ♦ ♦ ♦ JI MOItS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ j u xions ♦ ♦ ♦ Mary Lou Harrington Ann L unday Bob Lyons Catherine McConnachie Ralph McCracken John McCrea Ernie McCulloch Bruce McCullough Delores McDonald Corinna McDowell Ada McFarland Catherine McGrail Lavon McLauchlin Dale Madson Jack Malone Jackie Malone Bernadette Martin bill martin Natalie Maxin Mary Meyer Richard Michel Jim Miller Muriel Miller Bill Moore George Morehouse Betty Morgan Charles Morledge Diane Morris Louise Morrison Marjorie Mortenson Claire Myers Lila Nelson Marjorie Ruth Nelson Pearl Nelson Richard nelson 4 43 fe— ♦ ♦ ♦ IIMOIIS ♦ ♦ ♦ Georgie Newlin Paul Nilson Joyce Nobcutt Geraldine Norman Dorothy O'Donnell Bakboura Olsen Mary Olson Norma Oser Norma Jean parish Shirley Parks Jane Parks Charlie Parr Bette Patterson VINCENT PEREZ Dorothy Perrigo Richard petty Alice Popelka Betty Quanbeck Pat Quick Donna Jean Quinn ILENE RADEMACHER Rosie Radunovich Pat Rambolo Clyde Reeves STAN REGELE Wallace Rehberg Lenore Renstrom Vera Rhoads Dolly Rickman Bill Riddell Dolores Rieker Lloyd Riggins Bud Rist Don Robbins Yvonne Robbins -■$ 44 ]k Delmar Ross Jane Rush Hazel Sample Betty Sargent Richard Sartorie Carol Savaresy aloysia Schaffer Freo Schwab Paul Schwartz Thurlev Seitz norma Shackleford Alberta Shaffer Mary Sheeders Joyce Shipton Mary Shol Merle Simon Myrtle Siverts Rhua Slavens Bebe Smith Douglas Smith Charles Snyder JEANNE SONTAG Rueben Spath Calvin Spencer Claire Stamm Byron Stark Betty Stene Wally Stephens Sandy sterling Mary Lou Stovall Dick Stratford Jean Stratton Yoneko Sugimoto Dorothy Sweeney Shirley Sweeney Charles Swisher George Swords Larry Talgo Howard Thiel Charlotte Thompson Carol Townsend Bruce Trowbridge Harvey Trusler Maurice Trusler Dora turner Joan Vincelette Harold Wagner Joe Wagner Arlene Walker Jim Walker William Walker Kenneth Wall Jim Wallace Donald Walter Ted Walter Jacob Walth Jessie weaver Lorraine Weedman Emilie Wegner Gene Wentworth Margerye Nan White Collins Whitten Patty Wight Jack Willis Lois Willoughby hilma wilmot Charlotte Winkelman Charles Winship Elaine Wirch Harry Wolverton ♦ ♦ ♦ U MOIIS ♦ ♦ ♦ -- •£{ 46 fo- ♦ ♦ ♦ JIMOKS ♦ ♦ ♦ JOE WORTHINGTON Ruth Wright LOUIS YOST Betty young Edward Yurick BERNETTA ZENT Vernetta Zentner RAYMOND ALBER Vina Mae Coffman Lucille Crawford Ruth Evangelisti LEE MAE FOX Jack O'Malley Bruce Rafn Polly Rodgers JOHNNY RUEDI Paul Simons jean Stevens -4 47 Sophomore Glass GHistory At last—we were dyed-in-the-wool—(some by necessity)—Sophomores, with all the razzle-dazzle of life in a big new high school. We don’t apologize—we admit we had our troubles getting around at first—new faces—new places. We trotted briskly into the remaining laps left in hi-life. Our determination to become permanent fixtures in all activities around the school began to take effect, and we were an accepted Sophomore group. We led the field in Track Stars!—making “tracks” to the cafeteria—where the “Elite Meet to Eat,” if some Senior hadn’t beat us to it. We brushed shoulders with Football Stars—Important Seniors—and Glamour Gals—of course yo have to, going into assemblies—you not only brush shoulders, you mangle arms and legs, too! We became esteemed members of the Slumber-bunny club, Study Hall, 208. Our sweater-sweeties and jeans-fiends. always ready to have fun, populated many a smooth dance floor and soda-fountain this year. To be short and snappy—Sophomore life (if you call it living) is Hectic, Hilarious, Hysterical, Hazy. Haphazard, Hasty, Happy—and strictly from Hunger!! On the serious side: We applaud our “B squad football team, on which we predominated. We had the best record of any Billings junior team, and were the first to beat Laurel. In bas- ketball we also showed that we could give it by beating a highly rated Belfry team. Together the two squads formed a great pool of manpower for future Billings High championship teams. The Sophomore group was a major contributor of musical talent as the band was organized this fall, keeping it in its place of honor as in years past.

And in that purpose it got its name—Activity Club or AK. This year, besides giving some assemblies, AK gave the Christmas formal. It was held under a ceiling of blue with streamers of blue and white encircling the room. Silver stars were scattered in the sky of blue. At one end of the gymnasium was a twelve-foot Christmas tree. The couples danced to Don Greasy’s orchestra. The meetings have been held on the first and third Mondays of the month. On other Mondays the members worked in the surgical dressing room. AK’s meetings are conducted in the usual club manner—the old and new business is discussed first. The most exciting event of the whole meeting is when the President croaks (after trying to talk over 30 odd voices all through the meeting), “Refresh- ments!!” Then is when the girls bring their activity to light.

Some of the activities have been curtailed as a result of the war, but the members succeeded in giving two assemblies, and a banquet in hoonr of the senior members. Realizing they could help the war effort in a small way, the girls gave at least an hour of their time every two weeks to rolling bandages in the Red Cross surgical dressing rooms. Hido Hado’s goal is to promote friendships among the girls and to encourage participation in other school activities. 65 ►- JKinetic Qlub TOP ROW—Joanne Stripp Paula Griffin, Shirley Cole, Ann Lunday, Harriet Welsh, Beth Davies.

A -« 7i ►- 3ootball—y[ Squad Billings, with a fine defensive team, went undefeated in 1943, W alter Griffin’s second year as head coach. Captain Bud Gullickson won the state scoring crown with 102 points in the eight regularly scheduled games, this despite the fact that the Brones were known throughout the state as the “scoreless won- ders, winning the four Big Five conference games with a total of 29 points to their oppo- nents’ 13. Missoula was second in conference play. Anaconda won the state class A cham- pionshi pby defeating Miles City, 24-0, at Ana- conda and challenged Missoula. The Spartans won, 13-7, and with the victory went the right to face Billings. Capt. Gullickson was the backfield spark- plug of the Orange and Black, ably aided by Wally Stephens and Jack Malone, Johnny Brynstead (who broke his arm early in the season and did not compete until the state championship game), and signal caller Dan O Donnell at quarterback. 1 hrough the line it was Marvin Hein and Johnns Ruedi at end; Dennis Nelson and John Heine at tackle; Bob Clapper and Woody Erickson at guard; Loren Steadman at center. Others on the squad were Don Tollef- son, Bob Lyons, Howard Kenna, Dick Bjorgum, Jimmy Walker, Mike Peckovich, Eddie Smith, Charles Snyder, Kermit Carlson, Wally Huston, Red Anderson, Ben Gerry, Bill Martin, led Frisby, Bud Rist, Bruce Trowbridge, Frank Grieve, and Bob Cornelius. I he Missoula and Butte regular season games were among the toughest ever played by any Bronc teams, the locals winning from the Spartans by one foot and from Butte by six yards, in California playoffs. The Broncs boasted five all-state players this year—Johnny Ruedi, Marvin Hein, Loren Steadman, Bob Clapper, and Captain Bud Gullickson. Four made the second all-state team—Dennis Nelson, John Heine, Dan O’Donnell, and Woody Erickson. At the Thanksgiving game at Butte, the Missoula Spartans captured the cham- pionship title by defeating the Broncs 7-6. Although our team didn’t get the state championship they are “champions” to us. 1943 CALENDAR Billings 25—Casper 6—at Billings. Billings 21—Sheridan 7—at Sheridan. Billings 45—Laurel 0—at Billings.

(State Championship) - ■•sf 72 -« 73 ►- 3ootba.lL Bud Gullickson—Fullback Bud was our captain this year, and a fine leader, respected by the other mem- bers of the team. He supplied a spectacu- lar blend of passing and running ability. Bud won the state scoring crown this year and was chosen on the all-state team. He was behind the spirit of the team in even' game, and his position will not he easily filled. Bob Clapper—Guard Bob played a hard, fast brand of foot- ball, and shone on defensive play. His fast-charging, hard-tackling style put him on top in the state and on the all-state team. Bob has played his last game for Billings High. He is now serving with the Navy Air Corps. Marvin (Reverend) Hein—End Marv was one of the best all-around football players in the state this year. He displayed exceptional ability at pass re- ceiving and also contributed many points for the Brones through his special apti- tude for kicking conversions. He was placed on the all-state team. Hein has played his final game for B. H. S. but he and his teammates are playing a more im- portant roll at the present for Uncle Sam. Johnny Ruedi—End Johnny was one of the exceptional ends on the Bronc team this year. He was fast at breaking down the field and a hard man to get around. His calm de- fensive playing brought him respect from all whom he played with or against. Johnny was also chosen for the all-state honors. He is now serving in the Mer- chant Marine. Loren Steadman—Center Loren did his part exceptionally well throughout the season. He was a fast and steady player. Strong on pass defense and his drop-kick punts. He gained a worthy position on the all-state team. He gradu- ates this year; a member of the Army Air Corps Reserve. Dan ny O Donn ell—(Ju rterback Danny’s ability in field generalship brought the team out of many tight spots. He kept a cool, determined spirit through- out each game and will be hard to replace next year. He will be called to active dut with the Army Air Force after his grad- uation this spring. Dennis Nelson—Tackle Dennis was a powerful, hard - hitting tackier, and he enjoyed throwing his op- ponents for losses. He was one of the most consistent men on the team; a great asset to the line. He was equally good on offense and defense. This was his last year on the team, and he is now an aerial gunner with the Army Air Force. Woody Erickson—Guard Woody was a Junior this year, a rug- ged guard and destined to be a great asset to next year’s team. He was a good sport and a fine offensive and defensive player. John Hein e— Tackle John is a Sophomore this year, the only one of his class to make the first string, but definitely worthy of his position. He was on the job every minute and was one of the main factors in the line. Wally Steph ens—Fullback Wally was small but full of fight. His spirit and consistent playing make him valuable to the team. He was a fast field runner and a consistent yard gainer. We’ll be seeing ally again next year. Jack Malon e—Q uarterback Jack displayed fine ability in punting and broken field running. He is an al- ternate quarterback and displayed great capability this year. He will also be a regular next year. Joh N n y Bryn stead—Fialj back Johnny was injured in the first part of the season this year, or he would have been an important factor in the Brones’ success. Johnny’s fine spirit and good sportsmanship will be missed next year. He will enter the Army Air Force this spring. OTHER SQUAD MEMBERS Plent of excellent second-string material was found in Don Tollefson (Army Air Force), Boh Lyons (our captain-elect for next year), Howard Kenna. Jimmy Walk- er, Mike Peckovich, Charles Snyder, Eddie Smith (now in Army Air Force), Dick Bjorgum, Kermit Carlson, Wall) Huston. Red Anderson, Ben Gerry, Bill Martin, led Frisby, Bud Rist, Bruce Trowbridge, Frank Grieve, and Bob Cornelius. Manag- er, Mike Pekovich, Charles Snyder, Eddie Soderlind, were right in there doing more than their share of the work. -4 76 ►- ’Basketball—yiSquad Despite the setbacks through the loss of two starters during the 1944 playing season. Coach Walter Griffin formed a better-than-average basketball squad out of the material left shortly before the southern divisional tournament. Co-captain George Michotte dropped from the ranks when he became 20 years of age late in February, and Johnny Ruedi departed for the Merchant Marine earlier. Griffin worked in little Dick Palmersheim, who filled Ruedi’s forward shoes in fine style, and the center hole vacated by Michotte was filled by Bob Cooke, Ray Alkire and Ted Lacklen, although all three lacked experience. Following the loss of “Big George,” Griffin depended on two of the smallest forwards in class A competition in the state—Palmersheim and Wally Stephens. Co-captain Chuck Lowe was a regular guard, with Loren Steadman in the other slot. Billings faced an unusual schedule in 1944—nine of the first 10 games being played on the home court. The final home tilt prior to the divisional meet was played on February 3, with the Orange and Black losing to Helena, the first defeat to be charged to a Billings team on the home maple in three seasons. The next month was spent on the road with the locals rolling up a fine average on foreign courts—six wins and two losses, the victories including one over Helena in a return joust in the Bengal lair. For the pre-tournament season the Broncs compiled 15 wins and three losses for a percentage of .833. I he club placed third in the Big 16 conference with eight wins and two defeats. Bozeman's hepped-up Hawks drubbed Billings, 50 to 19, in the first game of the tournament, but the locals settled down to whip their keenest rivals, Park County High of Livingston, 30 to 26, for third place. Although they lost in the Southern Division tournament, they offered no alibis and had the satisfaction of knowing that they had beaten, at least once, every team that they met during the season.

H is work off the backboard was impor- tant and well done. “Big George” won the Gazette free-throw contest with a 14 out of 15 average. A senior, Michotte will be sorely missed next year. He plans to continue his athletic career training with the Philadelphia Phillies this spring. Chuck Lowe—Guard Lowe, co-captain of the 1944 Brones, is a three-year letterman. His general ball hawking and scoring in the Billings roster won him a position on the first string Southern Divisional All-Tourna- ment team. A consistent player, Chuck always managed to chalk up plenty of points. He graduates this spring. JOH NNY Ru EDI—Forward Ruedi was a good all-round man who could really run. shoot, dribble, and pass. He carried his spirit, coolness, and ability from the football field to the court. Johnny left in January for the Merchant Marine and was greatly missed during the rest of the season. In both football and basketball, Johnny’s position will certainly be hard to fill. Dick Palmersheim—Forward “Deadeye” Dick was the smallest, yet one of the fastest members of the squad. His one-hand push shot helped earn for him a place on the second string All- Tournament team. His performance against Glendive was one of the high- lights of the season. He has played his last game for the Brones and will be missed next year. Loren Steadman—Guard Steadman is a senior this year, and a two-year letterman. He displayed plenty of defensive ability and the knack to break in and get some needed baskets. He was a specialist at stealing the ball from opponents and a good man off the back- board. Another two-sport man, he will be missed greatly. Wally Steph ens—Forward With his excellent passing and ball hustling, Stephens was of great value to the team this year. He was an accurate shooter and a fine all-round player. Wally is a junior this year and much of the success of next year's season will depend on him. Bob Cooke, Ray Alkire, Ted Lacklen—Center Alternates The center hole vacated by Michotte was ably filled by Cooke, Alkire and Lacklen. Cooke and Alkire were Bronc subs from the season’s opening, and Lack- len was graduated up from the B squad. We will see and hear more about these three next season. Other squad members who backed up the team were Johnny Larsen, 'Fed Fris- by, Bill McKenzie (now in the Navy Air Corps), Kermit Carlson, l orn Heald and Wally Huston. Manager Sterling Soderlind and assist- ant manager Milton Agte did a fine job and deserve credit. FIRST ROW — Chuck Lowe, George Michotte. I iek Palmersheim, Loren Steadman. Wally Stephens.

The Girl’s Athletic Association is just a newly formed group, but so far it has proved that girls have just as much fun at sports as hoys. 1 he girls have taken part in all kinds of sports: speedball, volleyball, basketball, badminton, and tennis. They have competed in basketball, volleyball, and badminton tournaments, and also the Gazette tree-throw contest. Next year even more activities have been planned for those who like variety.

This organization bars no one, and as a result there are sixty-seven active mem- bers. This club is run on a point basis, and awards are given when a certain number of points have been obtained.

They did a fine job of surprise routing marching for football season. Did their share in the bond rallies and (cold nights, too!) Were all out for pep rallies. We mustn’t forget them at the basketball tournament, as well as as- semblies. Their January concert was an evident success. The high- light, perhaps, was the Hardin trip. This is the beginning of an “ex- change concert” idea that we hope will develop into longer and better trips after the war. The Billings Band had a party for the Hardin Band. They were guests in turn at a similar festivity. Soloists John McCrea, first chair clarinet- ist, has proven his versatility by play- ing clarinet solos for concerts, wom- an’s clubs, radio programs and thru his outstanding work in the clarinet quartet. John is indeed a credit to the band. Betty Fischbach, up and coming cornetist, has done some nice work this year on solos she has played for concert programs, assemblies and radio. We are glad to have Betty for two more years. Rosalie Reichmuth has done some nice work this year — most note- worthy was her solos for concert sea- son. We will miss our first chair trombonist next year. 86 ’Band -4 � 7 ►- -«X 88 f - dReeds and Percussion The Unusual Instruments— Extra ordinary quality and mood are given to the band by some of the most de- pendable musicians who transfer early in their musical experi- ences to the more difficult instruments: Left to Right — Vir- ginia Young, fife; Lois Willoughby, oboe; Rosina Walter, E flat clarinet; and Clair Hoblit, bass clarinet. Due to the artistry of these players, the band is able to pre- sent a more complete reproduction of the sentiments of musi- cal masters. The Clarinet Quartet— The clarinet quar- tet of the Billings High School Band has given outstand- ing service during the school year of 1943 and 1944. Left to Right the mem- bers are: John Mc- Crea, junior; Don Kesselheim, senior; Alice King, senior; and Allen Meide, ju- nior. They have ap- peared as artist guests at many civic meetings, such as: Eastern Star Kiwanis Club Woman's Club Northern Hotel The Billings Senior High School Band may justly be proud of this ensemble of musicians. The Percussion Section— i The Billings High School Band has a complete percussion section: Left to Right the artists are: bass drummer, Harriet Higbie; snare drums, Dorothy Cl a x t o n; Gloria Heath, and on the typanies we have Lavon Early. The foundational rythmi- cal background and the military preci- sion, as well as the colorful moods of the band are highlighted b y the percussion section.

The choral group of the Senior High has always been an outstanding one. giving concerts, singing for broadcasts and assemblies, its music enjoyable to the school and community. I his year the group has not been as large as in past years, but this small class, under Mr. Cutt’s supervision, made up for the size with new and better vocal ar- rangements. Mr. Cutts has introduced some modern ballads, which the student body enjoys so much. 1 he chorus presents the girls with an opportunity to improve their voices, and attain poise when appearing before an audience. There has not been one year in which some outstanding voices have not been guided to a real career in music. -4 90 ►- Orchestra SITTING—Left to Right Phyllis Conover, Norma Daniels, Lois Willoughby, Jack Quilco, Vera Rhoades, Nancy Critelli. John Mc-Crea. Carol Burk land, Rob Grosser, Norma Jean Parish, Jean Stiff, Marjorie McBride, Virginia Young, Betty Jean Williams, Francella, Osier, Juanita Clemetson. The orchestra has not been as active this year as in the past because of the illness of the director, J. E. Clavadetscher. Soon after Christmas, “Claw” became ill and was not able to conduct the orchestra, so Mr. Cutts took his place. The orchestra this year had an enrollment of only fifteen, so most of the work was done with strings and small ensemble groups. The orchestra broadcasts three times—once alone and twice combined with the orchestra from the Junior High. Work was done on solos with orchestral accompaniment, and also some modern com- positions were studied. Everyone has missed “Clavy’s” cheerful “hello” and hopes that he will soon return to his regular routine.

Our class representatives were chosen this ear through each second period rccm. The representatives, after being divided into their respective groups, nominated a certain number of students to be voted on as class officers. The idea of class representatives is to give the students a chance to have a say in school activities. The youth of our country can start out early learning the ways of the government in which they are about to take part. As yet the students have not been given a great deal of authority. But when thej have shown their capability, they will he given an opportunity. This year the officers elected were : Seniors—President. Bill McKenzie; Vice- President, Bud Gullickson; Secretary- Ireasurer, Kay Morris. Juniors—President, Barhara Olsen; Vice-President, Wally Huston; Secretary- Treasurer, Phyllis Howe. Sophonions—President, Tommy O’Donnell; Vice-President, Nick Ries; Secre- tary-Treasurer, Nancy Nye. .. !( Q2 Qlassroom J-Lgh.ligh.ts Aviation JHeckanics Qames -Aiontage _Annual Staff The Kyote staff, representing every group in the Senior High, has sought, as always, to publish an album of pictures and memories which we students shall al- ways cherish.

Mr. Bailey, our spon- sor, was called to the Navy shortly after the staff was organ- ized. leaving an in- experienced, but en- thusiastic group.
