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

Text from Pages 1 - 184 of the 1949 volume:

'KicU, Pick a blossom, still it leaves Roots remaining in the earth Clutching fast its place of birth. Beloved place tor which it grieves. When at last we, too, must move. Part of us remains behind 'Round these memories entwined Things we've grown to know and love. -LYNN URION ■■ 1949 KYOTE ANNUAL BILLINGS MONTANA BILLINGS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL i Young '49er, what's this hyar forward ya put in yer book? Does it mean ya go toward sumthin . . . and whats' yer thought in it? Well, sir, in this forward we would like to give the Annual to our readers as a remembrance of the year just gone by. Also we would like to express apprecia- tion to all who gave time and effort to make this book worthwhile. We have tried to show, 1849er, some of the progress made since you were on the scene. Some folks believe that our scientific progress has brought upon us many evils. But that is really not so. It is true that automo- biles, airplanes, electrical works, guns and the atomic bomb have destroyed many lives. On the other hand, faster communication, more and cheaper gas and elec- tricity for public use and the by-products of the atomic bomb have saved many more lives than were lost. And, we even live a lot longer to top it off. Not only that, but we do not have to work as hard or long to get the necessities of life. This gives us many more hours of leisure time to acquire more culture, better health and a happier life. You know, Pop, we believe that in the next 100 years people will think of us as pioneers just as we think of you and your folks as such. In order to achieve the worthiness that your people and those in the last years reached as pioneers we are going to work hard and conscientiously for greater development. Yes, sir, Pop, we are all for progress. Wal, Son, ya really summed it all up, but come on, I kin hardly wait tuh see yer book. ,fljoiL ipjbuufJunA, plcurwsuL and madsL thidu book?'

Who braved the perils and distress Of beating back the wilderness, Taming man and beast to bless This, our age, with great largess. Labored plots of ground to clear, Gloried in the vastness here, Dreaming of another year, Rich and free from want and fear. Put opportunity at hand, Gave to us with this command, Take it, use it. climb it and You'll make this still a better land. —Lynn Urion. (2 (p WqMAAWSL Pro-gres-sive! What in tarnation! Maybe I'm a mite dumb. Boy. list a mite yuh understand. But what's a pro-gres-sive school board? Why, that's a school board that doesn't stand still. Ain't seen a man yit that kin stand still fer long or a female either. So what are yuh beatin' yore gums 'bout that fer? That's not exactly what I mean. A progerssive board consists of a group of men who look into the pres- ent and the future to provide an ade- quate school system for all the kids of Billings. Take, for example, the new improvements that have al- ready taken place. There's the new Washington school, the Highland school, an addition of two classrooms and an assembly room at the Orch- ard, a gym and six classrooms at the Garfield, and improvements of our own Daylis Memorial Stadium. Must o' cost a lot. It did. To be exact, $1,162,000. It was the hard work of the board that helped to bring about the passing of a bond issue for these costs in 1947 by the property owners of District No. 2. Wal, I'll be dumed! Now, that's not all. They've done more than just furnish us a place to go to school. Rather than settle for poor teachers, they have raised the level of their salaries. It is now high- er than most of the surrounding states and as good or better than any place in Montana itself. We owe a lot to our board. You can be sure they have our thanks for all the time and energy they've taken from their own businesses to look out for our wel- fare. Yes, this is a progressive school board. Now I see what you're drivin' at, Sonny. I shore do. Fred A. Hofmann Chairman Non-athletic Advisory Committee Page Eight Sterling M. Wood Chairman of Board of Trustees Harold J.

That's our superintendent, Mr. Galla- gher, and an important man, too. Why, Young'un? It is with Mr. Gallagher that final rec- ommendations rest. Now say there's a cafeteria and a shoproom needed at the junior high. If they cost more than the budget allows he must de- cide which is the more necessary and present the case to the school board. That body consults him be- fore going on to formulate final plans. Guess he is at that. Must be a busy man, mighty busy. Yes, he is. But that's not all. Be- sides carrying out all his duties he finds time to belong to numerous community service organizations, some of which are Rotary, Commer- cial club and T. B. association. He is also an active church member and a great sportsman. Earl E. Tiffany Chairman Finance Committee Theodore R. Corbett Chairman Buildings and Grounds Committee Paul O. McCormick Chairman Supplies and Textbooks Committee Edward Lacklen Clerk and Business Manager Page Nine Principal. J. G. Ragsdale This is our principal, Mr. J. G. Ragsdale. So this is yore boss, huh? What all does he do? Why, he keeps the school go- ing. No, not just going, either. Mr. Ragsdale wouldn't accept the po- sition until he was sure Billings was interested in making it more than just a school. His new program of guidance and sex education is designed to prepare the student for balanced living. Besides this Mr. Ragsdale belongs to numerous educational associations, civic organizations, and is sponsor of several of our school's clubs. And . . . Whoa! Let's git on while I'm able. Now this is Mr. Collins, Old Timer. What does he do, Sonny? His duties are twofold, being dean of boys and vice principal of the school. It takes a good man to have charge of all the boys be- sides helping to keep the school functioning smoothly. _____•__ Miss G. Whipple, Dean of Girls Son, what's a woman doin' in with us men? Whoa there, Gramps. This isn't 1849. Miss Whipple is equal to any man. It's her duty to supervise all the girls in BHS, help- ing them to choose their subjects, plan their careers and iron out troubles that seem too big for them alone. Quit yore firin', Young 'un. I surrender. Mr. E. Collins, Dean of Boys SixbuLtL Qaculhf, jmmb JiA. Juwsl maAt AA. dsujMsiiu Hey thar, Sprout. Hop on over here an' tell me who all these folks are. Shore are a lot of 'em.

I'm afraid that you don't quite understand, Old Timer. These people aren't here to beat learning into our heads. They're here to teach us the fundamentals of biology, physics, Spanish, home economics, French and many other subjects which will help us prepare for a brighter and fuller future. have changed.

The rod has disappeared from the classroom. Let's git out o' here. Sort o' makes me feel shivery. Couldn't be more scared if I wuz visitin' the president or courtin' a purty gal. Scares the pants plumb off o' me. Why these are quality folk. You have nothing to be afraid of. They are here to help, not hurt, as advisers, coun- selors and sponsors of our clubs and activities. It's respect, appreciation and yes, even affection, that should reward their labors. Too often, we don't realize this until it is too late. But even without proper recognition their work goes on. Guess I put my foot in my mouth that time. All I kin say is, 'Hats off tuh 'em.' Do yuh think yuh could let me meet 'em, Son. I'd be right proud tuh know these here folks an' be able tuh call 'em friend. I wouldn't be no trouble. I'd be glad to, Old Timer. Although their day may be full they always have time to make one more friend, give one more bit of advice or solve one more problem. We'll start at the top and go right on down so we won't miss a single one. Are you with me? Why I'm rarin' tuh go. As if yuh could hold me, you young whippersnapper.

Brown don't come at the end of the alphabet. Don't blow a fuse, Old Timer. Mrs. Lynn Brown isn't a teacher. She's the office secretary. Why didn't yuh say so in the fust place. I ain't no genius. Person ain't supposed tuh know everythin'. If you didn't talk so much maybe I could say some- thing. In the first place Mrs. Brown supervises the OD girls, takes care of all business, keeps the school's records and performs many other duties well and cheerfully. Also, she's always ready to answer any question that you might have. Yuh don't say. Page Sixteen ‘Jhhu qJioufL might bsL calhwL JthiL JboAAil {maasl!' No, Old Timer, when I say this group helps the principal maintain school policies and reg- ulations, I don't mean they function as the posse of a sheriff. Wal, then, what do yuh mean? As each home room is represented here, their adviser, Prin. I. G. Ragsdale, can have his instructions relayed to the whole student body through them. Especially in matters which need considerable explaining and interpreting, the students prove a benefit. Through their own reac- tions to the principal's requests, they lead the school in carrying them out. In a herd of sheep, alius one thet wears a bell. He toilers the sheepherder an' th' rest of them tag right along after him. He's called the bellwether. That's it, Pop. That's more like it. You see what I mean now. Room representatives may be compared to the bellwether. Also, as an organization, this group functions like a regular school club. Early in the year they sponsored a magic show, selling tickets and circulating hand bills. Three members, Claire Sorrells, Clinton Fuchs and Lois Weeks, attended a city safety council as representatives of our school. Question of alcoholism among high school students was brought to the attention of this or- ganization. As representatives of the whole student body they studied this problem, striving to solve it in a way which would appeal to open-minded teen agers. What a jim-dandy idea. Adviser.. _______J. G.

(Do JLJD1L M jCUL diffl A 'hL fotklk!?' Wal, boy, what 'bout these hyar classes? Tell me what they stand fer an' what they're supposed tuh git done; jist all 'bout it. Come on, Son, speak up. Pop, the words sophomore, junior and senior merely signify how far along a fella or gal is in high school but as for what they're suppose to get done, that's quite a story. For all these classes alike, it is more or less the beginning of their life adjustment. Many of our high schools used to stress what we call education for white-collar jobs but not any more. Old Timer, in your day it was pretty much thought that the only kind of people to re- ceive education were those who wanted to become doctors, lawyers, economists and those in other professional fields. Our theory is education for all. Do you know, Old Timer, that about 60 per cent of the people who enter high school will eventually earn their living in ways other than by professions? That's why we believe that average workers such as clerks, receptionists, salesmen and those earning a living by jobs along such lines should be given every opportunity there is to make them the finest of educated peoples. Folks have realized in this past century that youth today need to be taught that the way a man makes his living no longer determines the quality of his life. Teachers believe that by guiding us in these ways they are helping us to become better citizens, assisting us to arrive at a healthy philosophy of life, give us a start as workers and help us obtain social approval. They feel that high school gives one rehearsal time for performing an adult role with confidence. Educators now are figuring out different ways to help these people. Come on, Pop, let's continue on through this book and see how our school has tried to accomplish this. 'See, Pop? This is our swell school.' Page Eighteen Page Nineteen JOAN DABNER Vice President BILL BENDER Secretary S nwA, QIoaa. ''So these seniors have finished school, eh? Do they have anythin' tuh show fer their four high school years? ''Yes, Pop. they’ve finished their last class and said their last farewells to BHS. They were nourished from earliest child- hood on . . . when you finish high school', and at last that long-awaited time has come. Now those glorious high school days are little more than memories. Many enriching experi- ences have greeted them throughout their years in senior high. Alter their names you'll see the school activities in which they took part. Sports, both interschool and intramural, developed bodies; minds were developed through participation in music, dramatics, debate and writing; many clubs promoted sociabil- ity and furthered interests that helped these students grow. Better citizenship, too, resulted from responsibilities shoul- dered while in high school. But don't think that those who have a short list of school activities have gained nothing from their high school days. Many held jobs while attending and this helped them to grow toward maturity. Well, Lad, I see these seniors have begun tuh prepare for the great adventure called Living. What do the coming years hold fer them? Many and varied are the futures of the 1949 graduating class. Some will go on to college to further their book-learning and preparation for careers. Others will start—or continue_ their earning, while several girls who are wearing engagement or wedding rings have their lives already decided. Each will step out into the world and take his place as a citizen of our United States. Page Twenty S vwJjuifL S nwtidu out ofr. 35 plcu vahAih football. ROBERT F. ALLRED (Bob).

Tha'r the sons of seniors, ain't they, Sonny? Not in this case, Old Timer. In BHS, as in all high schools, the Juniors are the next to the last class. They're next year's seniors. The middle class, eh? Aren't they rather triflin'? After all, they've outgrown the newness an' haven't yit reached the height of the seniors? Not at all. This was the year they matured from soph- omores into upperclassmen. Sports, music, dramatics, each claimed a goodly portion of their talents. Not without pride did this group gain another year's experience. In 1849 gold was discovered in Cali- fornia but it was in the following years that fortunes were made. That's an old story to you, Pop. Now, a century lat- er, the '49ers have again struck gold, but it is up to the class of 1950 to lay hold of the wealth that lies in high school years. This year the seniors and juniors alike began new activ- ities but it is yet to be revealed how much more the jun- iors will attain from those beginnings. From the founda- tions laid by pre- vious classes the juniors will go on to higher achieve- ments. 'Tt is certain that that members of the class of 1950 will prove themselves an asset to their school, their community, their nation, and make a record that will be difficult for future classes to equal. They shall come into their own by proving themselves ready and waiting for the tasks and opportunities that await them. Perhaps, Son, I misjedged this class after all. I guess they, like the others, have a place in the great plan of right livin'. They'll mine thet thar gold! DON CLARK President Page Thirty-six £uniohA, pdaawL oiVl otl ioWinamudL baAksdbalL ioanL.

So we have lived this year that is behind us, Have written something for each day that's past. Reccdl If good or bad, if worthy or if wasted. If we have shirked or labored to the last, If we've constructed or torn down, blessed or berated, If we have lived it richly or in vain, The year is gone—and will not heed a recall! The year is gone—and will not come again! —Lynn Urion. Page Forty-six SofJfwnvfiSL QIoaa. ''This here is the class of '51, you say? You bet, Old Timer, these are the soph- omores who just completed their first year in Billings senior high school with a memorable record, too. They entered last fall a little awed, a little curious of just what was going to take place during the forthcoming year. They were initiat- ed, as is always done, by the upperclassmen. Maybe they felt a little humiliated or resentful, but they took it all in their stride for they knew that their turn was yet to come. These sophomores entered into the spirit of the school right from the beginning. Enthusias- DAVID SEITZ Vice President tically they supported pep rallies and cheering at basketball and football games. They were well represented in sports, dramatics, and other school organizations. Tryouts for What a Life and The Barretts of Wimpole Street were new and exciting experiences. Some earned places in the cast while others donated time for service on the various production staffs. Yes, Old Timer, these students have earned many points of achievement towards graduation. They began their high school life just as the class of '49 did back in 1947. Working hard, but thinking of that day when they would graduate as something too far in the distant future to even think about. During the past year the class of '51 lived up to all the best traditions of the school and hope to live up to them in the next two years, also. They, too, plan to blaze new trails and set up new precedents. All those days of running to classes, homework at night, lunches in the cafeteria, are but a few of the memories the class of '51 already has. Dances, games, club meet- ings, rallies and other events make these the best days of their lives. Class of '51 is pressing ever onward and when fi- nally they walk up on the stage to receive those long coveted diplomas they'll be a class that has worked hard and long to reach a higher plane of thinking. Yes, Old Timer, you can be proud of this class of 1951. RUTH FREIBURGER Secretary Page Forty-seven SopJwjrwtoLtu fVwvfL aJbiUhf, in. dramatic. pAoduciionA.

Wal, son, why don't yuh tell me 'bout some? All right! Sophomore initiation, dances, assemblies, clubs and everyday excitement are the traditions of Billings senior high school. They make our school buzz with sportsmanship, good will and downright good fun. Early in the fall it is a tradition of long standing for the upper classmen to initiate the in- coming sophomores. All were carrying trays in the cafeteria for their upperclassmen. Girls were dunked in a local pool and both boys and girls were often seen parading around Billings streets in peculiar garb, prodded by the juniors and seniors. Then comes the Christmas formal. Alternately sponsored by Activity Klub and Kinetic, the annual Christmas shindig is one of the highlights of the senior high social season. This year's formal was put on by Kinetic club. Gym was decorated with blue and white streamers. Another formal dance which is enjoyed by the students and is put on every year is the Junior-Senior Prom. For the second consecutive year Band sponsored the Supper club dance. The lights were lowered in the gym, and it was decorated like a night club. With tables for one or two couples, table service and soft music the dance was one of a very different variety than usually seen by the Billings students. 'Praise Ye Broncs' is another typical BHS phrase heard during the Letterman's initiation. Boys who've earned letters in sports are initiated into the club with various types of garb and acts. Just begun this year is the annual club contest assembly. Key club's idea, they purchased a trophy to be passed around to the winning club year after year. All the clubs participate with an act, skit, or solo in an assembly. Winning club receives the trophy to keep until the next year's contest rolls around. These are but a few of the traditions, Old-Timer, which highlight the school years in Billings senior high school. In the year to come more traditions will no doubt form and others die out. But to the students now in BHS these are the traditions which matter. Page Fifty-nine DicK Say. Young'un. what kind of a gallery is this? These, Pop. are some of the outstanding students in the '49 graduating class. Named outstanding boy musician is Irvin Buzz Brusletten. In his high school career. Buzz was a member of the Sad Sax Sextet, Gentlemen of Rhythm and this year is student director of the band. His instrument is the saxophone. Here, Pop, Is Stella Critelli, who was named outstanding girl musician of the '49 class. As a member of the string quartet, she plays the viola. Stella is an excellent pianist and sings in the chorus. When asked how long she'd been playing the piano. Stella replied, 'As long as I can remember!’ Jeanne Kellogg and Dick Shadoan tied for the most versa- tile seniors. Besides Dick’s quality for making friends, he partici- pates in many school activities. His wide range of accomplish- ments include Governor of Boys State, District Governor of Key club, member of National Honor society and as a senior he worked on debate. He also was chosen All-state quarterback in football, All-state forward in basketball and was co-captain of the Bronc basketball team. Jeanne is active in girls sports. She is an excellent student, too. All the art work in this book is the result of Jeanne's talent. Some of the copy in the annual was contributed by Jeanne and she is a reporter for the Kyote Paper. She belongs to numerous school clubs and has worked on production for all Little Theater plays. Standing out above the rest of our athletes is stellar half- back and crack sprinter Bob Graves. A three-year letterman in both football and track, Bob was chosen All-state when he was a junior and a senior. As a sophomore and a junior he was a major point-getter for the Flying Broncs. Bob was captain of the 48 football squad. Janet Hartley was awarded the DAR tor her outstanding abilities in the field of leadership, patriotism, character and de- pendability. Ann Nelson and Stella Critelli were recognized as runners-up. This is an annuel award given by the Daughters of the American Revolution to the girl chosen by her senior class- males. Elected outstanding journalist oi the class is Jeannette Cul- bertson. As editor-in-chief of the Kyote Paper Jeannette has a full time job. She won honorable mention in the National Quill and Scroll Fall Editorial contest and she contributed greatly to the copy in the '49 yearbook. Recognized as the outstanding poet oi the ’49 class is Lynn Urion. Lynn wrote the dedication poem for the 1948 yearbook plus numerous jingles and other copy. She contributed several verses for this book and is feature editor of the Kyote Paper. Lynn finds material for her poetry in a variety of topics and occasions. Because of her good sportsmanship, cheery attitude and friendliness, Janet Hartley was chosen as having the best girl personality of the class oi '49. Just ask anyone, Old Timer. Jan's always ready to help and always willing to smile. His winning smile and friendly greeting helped Jim Erickson earn the much sought title best personality boy. This admirable trail will very likely make him a great success. Jim is well known to all BHS students because of his ready participation in so many school activities. Chosen by the class of '49 as an outstanding actress is Janet Hartley. Pop. Jan has worked on either front or back stage jobs since she entered BHS. Her sophomore year she played one of the leads in 'Smilin' Thru.' As a junior she played a sup- porting role in 'The Great Big Doorstep' and this year she por- trayed Allison in 'Pure as the Driven Snow.' Jan has been a fine diamatics participant and a top speech student. Hugh Morton was chosen best actor of the class of 49. Hugh has worked either on the cast or production staff of every BHS play since he's been in high school. As a sophomore, he appeared in ‘Smilin' Thru.' The next year he had a character part in 'Our Town.' He portrayed the father in The Barretts of Wimpole Street and was cast as the hero in 'Pure as the Driven Snow.' Hugh also instructs a class in dramatics at junior high school. ‘CldtwiLuidu, SotL? TYloariA. ImAif aJL wohlc, dortL it?’ 'Busy at work? You bet we are. Old Timer. Every hour during the school year is occupied by some important activity or function. Whether they be extra-curricula or somehow tied up with class work, the attention and work of the student is required. Activities such as these are what really make high school life interesting and worthwhile. How dull school would be with just class work, reading and reciting. Learning is not always out of a book. For instance, advanced speech is not only a scheduled class but it's a very popular activ- ity among numerous students. Under the instruction of Miss Clara Strutz and Mr. Arley Hegne, advanced speech classes count as one credit in English. A number of boys clubs handle the concessions at our athletic games. Lettermen, Key and Alpha sell pop, ice cream and candy bars to earn money for their respective treasuries. When worthwhile community drives require the help of the student body, these organiza- tions really pitch in and work. Take the Key club food drive for instance. Boys campaigned widely for public response to their drive. A lot of food was collected and distributed to the needy. Library aids help keep the library moving smoothly in BHS. Under the direction of Miss Elza Huffman, librarian, students check out books, keep shelves straightened and do many of the other numerous jobs necessary for keeping the library functioning. Many times during school and in the evenings the editorial staff of the Kyote paper gets together to plan the editorial policy of the next issue of the paper and make up the dummy for the issue. A lot of extra hours are put in by this group to bring out the Kyote. Focus Projection, although small, is behind all the movie business in BHS. The boys, giving up their study halls to do it, are available as operators any time a teacher wants them. Besides this, they've volunteered to show films for the entertainment of shut-ins. With the many clubs and organizations around the school, most of the students have an opportunity to join in the fun and the work! There are clubs of all kinds and activities to interest all people.

'Future draftsmen get training here . . . ' This is mechanical drawing, Pop, and it really is an art. First year stu- dents mainly learn how to letter and to follow directions. Primary duty of mechanical draftsmen is to be able to draw up a set of plans so that or- dinary workmen can construct the object from the drawing. Here in BHS Mr. Thomas Purcell's potential drafts- men present their plans to the stu- dents in machine shop. 'And these are our typists . . . Pop, nine large classes spend an hour a day at the school typewriters, gaining accuracy and speed. Many of the students learn to type for their own personal use, such as typing themes, letters, and so on, but many others, especially the girls, take typing along with shorthand and prepare for a secretarial or steno- graphic career. More women with jobs, eh? 'Future artists at work . . . Students can take courses in wat- er-color, oil painting, crafts such as metal works, clay and textile design, charcoal and commercial art. You know, Pop, we have one of the best high school art departments in the state. A few of the oil painting students have painted very lovely murals on school walls and many commercial students do work for our local adver- tisers. 'Our bookkeepers strive for efficiency . . . ' Is bookkeepin' a library course? Not at all, Old Timer. This is the place where students learn, under the direction of Mrs. Vera Bruegger, the fundamentals of budgets and ac- count books. Figures are added and subtracted, ledgers become balanced — and occasionally unbalanced — and accounting for large and small businesses gets a thorough going- over. Page Sixty-six ‘Jh JVL Liu cl claAA. swsLte injtsASL t. 'Aviation mechanics get training here . . . ' Pop, I forgot that there were no airplanes in your day. They're so common now we just take them for granted. Mr. Clifford Corey takes his classes to the airport for several hours each day. In this way the stu- dents learn about motors which pro- pel air machines through space. A flyin' machine? That's right, Pop, a flying ma- chine. Just wait 'til you see one. 'This is where we go for information and enjoyment . . . ' Old Timer, this is BHS library. Here Miss Elizabeth Huffman and her aides perform the various tasks of running a library. Our library is open to anyone in study halls who wants to use the reference material here. Everything is filed systematically and students are given a course in library when they first enter BHS. 'What're those women folks chasin' . . . ?' Pop, in your day I guess it just wasn't heard of that women should have physical education and in classes at that. Yes, in these classes girls are given instruction in volleyball, bas- ketball, soccer, tennis and badmin- ton. Miss Lillian Cervenka, their in- structor, states that many girls find this class is a wonderful relief from the day's subjects. 'Here we relax from brain cramming . . . ' This is a boys gym class. Here, under the direction of Coaches Roy A. Morin and William V. Lazetich, boys learn not only the fundamentals of popular sports but health and training rules. Good sportsmanship is also emphasized in these classes. From this group come most of our best football, basketball and track men. Page Sixty-seven ‘Ow t ihaininq qAoundA. fluiuASL msudrianicA..' 'And these are our mechanically minded students . ..' Mechanically minded, eh? Of course, Old Timer. Here the boys learn to use lathes and other metal-working machines of all sorts. The machines can be operated to make tools, parts for machinery and other metal objects with extreme ac- curacy. The class has constructed model engines and done work for other departments in the school. 'They work with wood . ..' This is a neat lookin' shop, Son. Well, Old Timer, this is wood shop. Under the guidance of Mr. Howard Vanover boys in this depart- ment have an opportunity not only to build or repair wood projects of many kinds and colors, but also learn to appreciate good furniture construction and the real beauty and value of wood. They learn to safely operate and care for most wood working machines. 'Our modern horse and buggy . . . Pop, this is auto shop. First maybe I'd better tell you that an auto is a four wheeled machine with a gaso- line engine. Mr. Louis H. Ratzlaff, respectfully called 'Chief' by his students, con- ducts two 3-hour classes each day. The boys do complete overhauls, paint and brake jobs—just about ev- erything that can be done on an automobile. 'This, Old Timer, is modem farming' Do yuh mean. Youngster, thet you kin learn farmin' in school these days? Certainly, and vocational agricul- ture students don't just learn how to do things—they do them. Why, in farm shop the boys can do all the mechanical things they'll need to know in order to run a farm. Repair on tractors, trucks and ma- chinery, carpenter work, welding and care and use of tools. Page Sixty-eight ‘dtstivL wsl phadtksL, oxpAhim nL aruL vsiAifa.' 'Homemakers to be ' Lamin' iuh cook an' sew? Why, in my day girls learned those things from their mothers, an' it seemed tuh have good results. But times have changed, Old Tim- er. Now the girls learn new and bet- ter methods, instead of the old ones handed down from mother to daugh- ter. New materials for clothing, bal- anced meals, child care, upholstery methods ... I give in, Sonny. 'Future scientists might come from this class . . . Well, Pop, this is chemistry class. Look, Son, don't tell me we didn't have any chemistry in my day. Of course not, Old Timer, it dates back to early civilization; but you must admit it's a great deal more ad- vanced now than it was in 1849. Mr. Charles E. Borberg is the instructor. Lab days are really something to look forward to in chemistry class. 'Maybe there is another Bohr or Einstein in this group . . . What's this, Son, 'nother labora- tory? Right, Pop, this is physics class. Incidentally, physics is nothing new. Did you know that it is the oldest of the sciences? Practical experiments in the laboratory graphically illus- trate the important problems of fun- damental physics. Mr. Fred Kaser is the instructor. 'Here is where they study what makes live things live . . . ' What kind of class is biology? It's the study of plants and ani- mals, Old Timer. They're examining models which show the structure of humans. Examinin' models, welding, bak- ing cookies — don't yuh modern youngsters ever study from books? Well, Pop, it certainly makes classes more interesting to apply what we learn. Page Sixty-nine 'Steppin' right dandy. Sonny!' Sure, Old Timer, and well they might for this is the Kinetic spon- sored dance after our victory in the Billings-Lewistown game. Below Top 'Nothin' like a good old hop!' No, sir, and you can trust Pep club to come through with a dilly. Here's a view of the Pep sponsored dance after we won over Boze- man. Above 'Who threw this 'un?' It's another shot of Kinetic's dances. Both victorious Billings and defeated Lew- istown had lots of fun, as usual, at these after-game dances. —(Navy) they look snappy, Right- 'Aye, aye, sir!' Whew, don't though? That's the navy, Pop. This shows Ad- miral Sylvester, with Mr. Ragsdale, when he spoke to us on Navy day. ‘VYlouf 9 havsL tfuL ‘SavsL cl Amt foJL 'Wal, I don't know how yuh young'uns feel 'bout present day shindigs but back in the good old days those moonlit square dances weren't ones tuh be forgot. Well, Old Timer, it's not probable that many of us would disagree with you. Who could ever forget some of the dances after basketball or foot- ball games? They were always something to look forward to. Don't yuh youngsters ever do any different kinds of dances other than the waltz? We sure do, Old Timer. One of the favorites of most of the kids is the 'split' dance. That's when two couples start a dance, then when the music stops, they must dance with someone else. This continues until everyone is dancing. Thet shore sounds like a heap of fun. Yes, Old Timer, dances somehow always seem to be an extra special event.

I guess we wouldn't be apt to call assemblies gadgets or contraptions, Old Timer. Every once in a while we all get together in the auditorium where different groups present various programs for our benefit. Sometimes these programs were informational; other times, entertaining. The as- sembly can include musical, humorous, dramatic, serious and scientific themes. Usually they were presented by different clubs featuring noted speak- ers but a few were given by National School As- semblies. Top 'Boy, there's harmony!' You bet, Dad. In the Kyote paper assembly, BHS's boys quartet really made a hit. These boys, lack Englehardt, Dick Fletcher, Lester Heins and Bob Greer are in constant demand by both school and community. Center Below Top Effervescent Opera Another number in the Kyote paper assembly was a comic opera by Hugh Morton and George Snell as Celeste and Queenie La Tour in La Meck- elburg. Lower Left Wahoo! Looks somthin' like my day, Lad. Does it? Well, this is a Cherokee Indian chief who demonstrated several dances and told of many of the customs of his people. 'M-m-m. beeootiful!' Yes, and she has a beautiful voice, too, Pop. In the Kyote assembly Sandra Caldwell sang for the first time in BHS and has been one of the most popular soloists since. Lower Right Volga Troubadours One of our National assemblies was this Rus- sian-American couple who, with their folk songs and dances, gave us a picture of country life in Russia. arudL odjuccdtwrL cUisl otl mtsufJuiL fuihL acJwoL!

It's a little different now, Old Timer. Talking about school life takes in the variety of interesting things that helped make our years at BHS something that can never be erased from our memories. We'll never forget those little incidents that have established themselves as virtual traditions. Who could forget such things as the halftime entertain- ment which we watched over cokes and hot dogs or the mad scrambles to assemblies and the cafeteria? Top 'Does it run?' Although not often mistaken for a Rolls-Royce, the Broncmobile is known to everyone in BHS. Below Top 'Gosh, am I hungry!' During three lunch periods in our cafeteria, future housewives and businessmen replenish their supply of proteins and carbohydrates to keep them going for rest of afternoon classes. Lower Left 'Now, what lever was that?' Here, our engineer, known as 'Smitty', examines the barrage of equipment by which the school is heated. Center 'Hail to the conquering heroes' BHS students are well supplied with rousing band music to cheer on our teams to ultimate victory. Lower Right 'I told you we would win' Tired, but nevertheless cheerful, band members put their instruments away after playing for a game. J J 7| q ■q 3 ‘Qua. nwdsLfm. AchooL Page Seventy-two cinq , aVwlinq.; fmJdL ofr. AchooL lifab.' There were also some laughter-provoking hap- penings. Take for instance those initiations into dif- ferent clubs which provided many a hearty chuckle. Then there was the Broncmobile, the signs, drivers and occupants of which often caused some conjec- ture as to the sanity of the owners. As always ,our teachers seemed to survive our yearly seizures of spring fever which rendered us in a state of dreamy inattention. And last of all, will we ever forget some of those assemblies and dances at which we had such a good time. All of these things are ones that we shall never forget when we think back to our school days. Top 'The potato brigade' 'Too many cooks spoil the broth' isn't true of our cafeteria. These cooks are kept busy preparing food for ravenous students. Below Top 'Oh, Come, All Ye Faithful' A Christmas tradition is the carol- ing of our chorus in BHS halls by candlelight after which they partici- pate in an assembly. Above 'Save a dance for me' Dances at the Bam, Billings teen-age recreational center, become a regular part of many students' entertainment. Some- times a few alumni filter through, also. Left 'Harriet With the Lariat' Lariat twirlers won't have any trouble roping their man. A part of majorette corps, these dancers furnish half-time en- tertainment at basketball games. at wohL anxL plaq Page Seventy-three '2Lqabjl owl Mosul AcuLrUdficjcdLy, mindsuL AhidsmiA.. ’ When yore 'round me, Son, speak English. Now start again slow an easy. These are the people interested in biology, the science of life. Lives of bugs, too? Lives of bugs, too. Now if thet don't beat all. What do these nice young'uns want tuh know 'bout bugs fer? From bugs they learn of one of the simplest forms of life, working gradually up to man. Oh no! They study taxidermy, hydrophonics, dissection and other biological sciences. Slow down thar, Youngster. Ain't as quick as I used tuh be. Start with taxi, taxidermy. Taxidermy is the stuffing of birds, animals and what have you. Oh! Used tuh do thet myself when I wuz a boy. Throw in some stuffin' an' sew 'em up. I'm afraid that the art of taxidermy has improved since you were a boy. By an improved process they are learning to stuff animals so realistically that muscles even seem to ripple. Guess I'll have tuh surrender on thet one. Let's git on.' Have you ever grown plants without soil? 'Course I ain't growed plants without dirt. Can't grow nothin' without dirt. That's where you're wrong, Gramps. By adding certain chemicals to water they've grown plants without the aid of soil. Don't say. Lam somethin' new every day. I'm still stickin' tuh dirt though. Is thar anythin' else? Well now, let's see. Oh yes, dissecting. That's the cutting up of things to see what makes them tick. Some of them will try anything that comes along—from angleworms up. What do they do fer fun 'sides cuttin' things up? Ain't naturl fer young 'uns tuh work all the time. Lessen of course they've changed since my day. No, they haven't changed, Pop. The entire group goes on field trips, sees movies, both edu- cational and entertaining, gives skating parties, or just plain talks.

This organization has been active in Billings senior high school for many years. Girls alternate with Kinetic club to sponsor the annual Christmas formal. Next year they will again sponsor the dance as in years past. Whar do they hold their meetin's? Every first and third Mondays of each month the members get together in Room 114. On these days the girls wear purple letters on white sweaters, the letters being AK. At the regular meetings all business is transacted, refreshments are served by a committee of five girls appointed by the president at a previous meeting. What does thet thar name stand fer? What do they do? Well, Activity Klub sponsors dances. They gave the first dance of the school year. Also they enter into many school projects, as well as community doings, sponsor assemblies and give pro- grams to entertain themselves. They held two potluck dinners; one at the home of Irene McCay and the other at the home of Miss Jeanette Clark, sponsor. Another annual event is the senior ban- quet to honor the graduating members. Each senior is presented with a gift. This is a traditional dinner which the girls always enjoy. How many gals are in thet thar orgynization? Approximately forty girls belong to the club, and they pay dues of 25 cents a semester. Why do they have sech a club? The purpose of Activity Klub is to increase girls' abilities in speech and other school activ- ities, to promote leadership, school spirit and cooperation.

No, I mean a builder of leaders, strong characters and good minds. You see, Old Timer, these will be the key men of tomorrow. Behind their motto, 'We Build the Key club functions for the school and community. They have worth while projects such as food for the needy, a voca- tional guidance survey ... What's a vocational guidance survey, Young'un? Well, a committee is appointed to call on every business firm in Billings to find out the pos- sibilities in that certain field. A file is kept and when it is completed any student may ask for in- formation on any business field to be found in Billings. Such questions as salary, promotion, etc., will be the main questions asked. Thet's good, Sonny, but don't they ever have a good old square dance or take time out fer fun? Sure they have fun. At their meetings every Wednesday, fourth period, they sing and talk. The big event of Key club history in Montana was the international convention at Washington, D. C. Over half the members signed up to make the nine day trip starting Mar. 21. Delegates came from Miles City, Anaconda, Laurel and Deer Lodge to begin the trail across the United States. You know, Pop, when our ancestors came over the great mountains, rivers and deserts to make their homes in the vast countries of Montana I don't think they realized that their children's chil- dren would some day retrace their steps back to where they started. Key club builds young men into the pioneers of today, to go forth with a better understand- ing of the story of man, his wants and his needs. I hope you get what I'm talking about, Old Timer. It may not be too plain, but ... Plain! Why it's as plain as the nose on yore face. It all adds up to one thing, that our strug- gle wasn't wasted. No sir, it wasn't wasted, 'cause such things as Key club have sprung up all over the country and made us proud as 1849ers to look down on the '49ers of today and say, 'Those are our children'.

What's this Alpha club? Alpha is the first letter of the Greek word Adelfotis which means brotherhood. Mighty fine soundin' but do they do anythin' tuh deserve it? They sure do! Boys of Alpha can be seen at many of the year's basketball and football games helping to keep order and performing other such duties. This year they also had the con- cession stand at the football games and had charge of the paddle squad. Whoa thar! We ain't goin' tuh no fire. One thing at a time. What are these here conceshuns? Why, concessions are the food sold at games. It wouldn't be a real game without the hot- dogs, pop, candy and coffee furnished for famished rooters by Alpha. Now what's the paddle squad? Don't sound so pleasant whatever it is. Well, job of the paddle squad is to see that only those who have paid get beyond the fence into Daylis stadium. You can bet that moochers sly away when they see the Alpha boys with those black and orange paddles. When they mean business they mean business. Guess I wouldn't want tuh tangle with those boys when they're totin' paddles 'round. Let's move on, Twirp. They don't always carry them. Pop. At other times Alpha extends the hand of friendship. Take the book they've edited telling of customs and rules of BHS. It will prove a help to new pupils. Now I see what yuh mean. Alpha does stand fer brotherhood. Page Seventy-seven Ojcl.

GAA is among the most active clubs in our school. Each girl in this club has a special in- terest in one or more major sports. They feel that healthy minds and healthy bodies are the re- sults of working together with the teamwork and friendliness they strive to achieve. Meetings were held bi-monthly, on the first and third Thursdays. White club sweaters with the GAA emblem are worn by this group. But each girl is work- ing for her class numeral (20 points), a pin (50 points) and finally her black and orange letter (75 points) which replaces the emblem. Sports in which the girls participate include volleyball, bas- ketball, softball, table tennis, bowling, roller skating, skiing, hiking and bicycle riding. Club can look forward to the volleyball and basketball tournaments which are held at the end of each season. The girls practiced Monday and Wednesday nights of each week. Bowling league was also formed with trophies given at the end of the series. One fall afternoon the girls set out on their annual bicycle hike. Attired in their hiking togs and carrying their packed lunches they are able to earn points, become better acquainted and have fun! When the Christmas season approaches GAA plans its Christmas party. This year each member brought a fun-gift which was placed under the tree and after an entertaining pro- gram and some spirited caroling, the contents of the packages were revealed. In February the girls had a skating party instead of a regular business meeting at which they were able to attain points as well as some very invigorating exercise. All of the GAA functions are fun but the climax of the year is the Senior banquet at which the retiring members leave the club in the hands of their under-classmen. Each senior knows that she will never forget GAA. Membership in the club increases yearly and with the skillful sponsorship of Miss Lillian Cervenka, GAA is expected to continue its progress. Well, Sonny, it sounds like a mighty fine club but now I'm ready tuh learn more 'bout yore school. Paqe Seve.vty-eight 'Scuj , ihLL lookiu Anappi r Snappy is a good word, Old Timer. You see, Pep is the nucleus of our school spirit. If it weren't for our cheerleaders and the other members of Pep club our enthusiasm would be at a standstill. On the second and fourth Thursdays of each month and at every game the members of Pep can be recognized by their striking black skirts and sweaters, and especially by their orange 'B' with the three letters 'P-E-P' written on the crossbar. The 109 active members work together co-op- eratively with the ever present assistance of Miss Edith Galemeau and Miss .Catherine Colosky. Whenever an out-of-town Pep club or band visits us, the members of Pep act as hostesses. They assume the responsibility of making visiting teams welcome. We are all proud of the BHS cheerleaders, who do more than any other students to stimu- late school spirit. Many of our assemblies are supplemented by a short Pep assembly in which the games are announced and new cheers introduced. One of the gayest affairs of the year is sponsored by Pep club. Sadie Hawkins dance which is preceded by an assembly. Now yo're talkin' my language, Sonny. Wish you'd explain yore Sadie Hawkins dance tuh _ 11 me. All right, I will. Tags are distributed by members of Pep club and each girl tries to catch her 'man'. Girls must perform all the duties formerly entrusted the boys. The dance is really a gala affair, everyone dressed in dog patch attire. You may see many Daisy Maes and Lil' Abners. Pep club is always well represented at the games; each member tries to stimulate school spirit. President ............. Vice President ........ Secretary-Treasurer ... Sponsors .

Sponsor Lynn Urion Mr. A. E. Hegne Judy Harden Now I'm beginnin' tuh feel more at home, Lad. We had apprentices in my day too. What are these leamin' tuh do? Well, Old Timer, this ambitious group makes up the Apprentice to Masque and Gavel—you found out about that a few pages back. Yep, Young'un, I remember 'em. Ain't they the group interested in speech? Right, Pop. These Apprentices work hard to excel in speech activities. Club is conducted on a point basis, with credit given for school participation such as parts in plays and assemblies, production staffs, debating, PA announcements, oratorical contests, and high grades in English classes. Outside activities also counted—among these were radio appearances and speech ac- tivities for civic clubs. These included talks, skits, readings, and so on. Much previously un- earthed talent was developed. In some cases plain hard work earned points for others. Meetings were held every other Wednesday in Room 202, under the guidance of sponsor, Mr. A. E. Hegne. During the first semester there was a great deal of controversy over the point system. After several suggested changes and much bitter argument, a revision was made that satisfied all the members. Each Apprentice earned points. Quite a number reached the goal which qualified them for admittance to Masque and Gavel. Wal, I wouldn't blame ’em fer bein' mighty proud of their accomplishments, Sonny. Page Eighty ‘dU-JhL — AomriJunc qL sl ihalA, ruuv?’ Not really, Pop. Hi-Tri has been in existence for a good many years. Formerly Hido Hado, the club gained its new name only a few years ago. Why is it called Hi-Tri? Wal, Old Timer, the explanation of Hi-Tri is really very simple. The organization is made up of the upper three grades in high school. It's the high school branch of YWCA. Well, thet's somethin' I've heard 'bout. But what do these Hi-Tri members do? The purpose of the club is to help girls live fuller lives and to make them better citizens, there- fore, bettering the entire community. Frequent discussions are held on teen-age problems and often guest speakers give their views on fields in which they qualify. Miss Ellen Shields and Mrs. Mary Larsen are sponsors of the group. Last fall, to gain the interest of the sophomores and to urge them to join, the girls held a tea. They made a float that won first place in the Community Chest parade. A Christmas party was held and everyone had lots of fun. Four needy Billings families had a merrier Christmas because of the baskets Hi-Tri packed for them. Each summer girls are sent to the regional YWCA conference. In 1948, Pat Hatfield, Shirley Wilson and Frances Bush represented Billings when the conference met at Camp Lookout, Colo. During the annual adult meeting of the YWCA, Pat Hatfield and Shirley Wilson, BHS Hi-Tri members, talked on the activities of the club during the past year. Pat gave a detailed descrip- tion of Hi-Tri and its various accomplishments, while Shirley discussed the complete story regard- ing the regional conference. Sounds like a right nice bunch, Lad.

Sonny, what did yuh say the name of thet club is? Translated it means Junior and Senior French club. This is the second year for Senior French club and Junior French is still in swaddling clothes because it has only been in existence one year. Both have been very active this year and are fully expected to continue their progress. Well, Sonny, don't stop thar, I want tuh hear more 'bout yore French club. After organizing itself Junior French club chose as its first project the aiding of children in a French orphanage. Each member brought some things that they no longer needed, such as warm clothing, color books, crayons, pencils. They wrapped each package in bright Christmas paper, many times enclosing their names in hopes of receiving answers from the orphans. All their ef- forts were rewarded when they received sincere thank-you letters from the little children. Many of the members have established permanent pen pals, thus strengthening the tie between France and the United States. Senior French club also 'adopted' a family of a widow and her two chil- dren. La Petite Cercle then entertained Senior French club at Christmas time to which the alumni were invited. Party included an entertaining program, singing of Christmas carols and refreshments. Senior French club entertained the Junior club at a banquet initiation in the spring, at which pins were presented to the Junior members. Throughout the year, the French clubs exemplified a wonderful example of co-operation, working together successfully on many projects, such as the well-received French assembly. French club members can be recognized by their lapel pins as well as the authentic French berets. Each member takes a personal interest of French club and as long as they continue to do so it is expected to show remarkable progress. French clubs are fortunate to have the able assist- ance of Mrs. Mary Larsen. President ...................... Vice President ................. Secretary-Treasurer ............

Kinetic is one of the finest girls' clubs in BHS. What's thet thar Kinetic club do an' what's thar name stand fer, anyhow? Well, Gramps, Kinetic club is one of the oldest traditions in BHS. Why, they've been here since the doors first opened. Their name, Kinetic, means active energy and their 40 some members do their best to live up to it. Every first and third Monday the girls are proud to wear their green emblems on white sweaters as it signifies membership in this organization. Gee, Sonny, sounds like a purty good club tuh me. What else do the members do? Parachutes, made of small handkerchiefs and used to drop candy and supplies over Ger- many, were one of the projects of this club. They helped other people at Christmas by packag- ing boxes of clothes, soap and other needed things. They sent these through the World Festivals for Friendship, Inc. Another Christmas project was the sponsoring of the Christmas formal. Kinetic sponsors this annual event every other year. By cracky, this really is a humdinger of a club. Say! Do you mean tuh tell me these gals do all this here work by themselves? No, Pops, if it weren't for the very able guidance of Miss Gertrude Whipple, this club would probably not succeed as well. These things are not the only things they've done either. Kinetic girls like the idea of getting acquainted with other people and their mothers. It is for this reason that once each year, sometimes in the spring, they give a Mother-Daughter tea. Each member brings her mother and, after having refreshments, they are entertained with a musical program. Say, young Sprout, thet's the kind of spirit I admire. Yes sir. Kinetic girls also like their senior members to know that they have been appreciated so at the end of the year each senior member is presented with a gift at their annual banquet. Junior members usually give farewell speeches at this time. Page Eighty-three 'U)haL kind. cl chilisUL Zl cul IphacLonL?' FIRST ROW (Left to Right)—Helen Lackman. Gladys Hein, Beryl Bartlett.

It is the name of a club which stands for the combination of an elephant and a donkey, symbols of the Republican and Democratic parties. Wal, now how did they ever git up a club like thet? It just so happened, that as the interest of some students in present day politics became more evident, Elphadonk was added to the list of school clubs. I still can't see why young folks would want tuh join a club like thet. Politics is fer old'uns. But that's where you're wrong, Old Timer. This organization gives students a chance to hear different viewpoints on controversial political problems and then they are capable of forming open-minded opinions of their own choice. We want Billings high school students to become well- informed, thinking citizens in the world of tomorrow. I suppose yore right, Son. But what do they do tuh learn more 'bout politics? Say, Old Timer, I can remember a lot of activities which have highlighted Elphadonk's past year. At some of the meetings the club members conducted informal discussions concerning po- litical issues which were most outstanding at the time. To give the students a good background in party politics, outside speakers were invited to relate the history of Democratic and Republican parties. Nearly all the candidates for the state legislature from Yellowstone County were invited to speak to the club just before the election. Since Elphadonk is studying not only politics, but also government, they invited speakers to tell them about the functions of different departments, one of which was a representative of the Indian Service Bureau. Also, to arouse enthusiasm in the elec- tion, Elphadonk held a rally in the auditorium which was attended by members and their guests. An activity which benefited the whole school was an assembly sponsored by Elphadonk at which Governor John W. Bonner was guest speaker. Wal, if they do all thet, they're doin' a good job all right. Kids never had a chance tuh lam such stuff in my days. Page Eighty-four ‘Jhsuf cUisl UvL ApoksA. ire Uul d2 HS wha L 9 Been hearin' tales that this here is quite a hard workin' club. You're right, Old Timer, the girls in Office Duty club, more commonly known as OD, is com- posed of girls who spend one hour a day working in the school office. Regular meetings and elections -were held again this year. The organization meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month, but no dues are collected from the members. At regular business meetings dif- ferent discussions are held on improving the efficiency of the work of the girls in the office. This proves very beneficial to them. What do they do in thet thar office for a whole hour each day? It takes about three or four girls each period. They do a little typing, some of them mimeo- graph office material and prepare different papers for instructors. Under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Lynn Brown the girls carry out their different tasks with smoothness and the will to work; efficiently doing the many responsible jobs that come with an hour in the office. Why do the girls take Office Duty? General office work of this type trains the girls in the fundamentals of a job in an office, and is especially interesting for those who plan on making a career of office work. It gives them prac- tical experience in meeting people and using initiative while on the job. An hour in the office is very interesting. The girls are responsible for attendance, call slips, telephone calls and other similar duties. At the beginning of the period they leave the office to collect the slips from the various classrooms. Some girls stay in the office to answer the phone, type, and do general office work. During the rest of the period in the office, the girls check attendance, deliver call slips and perform like tasks.

FHA is an abbreviation for Future Homemakers of America, Old Timer. This progressive organization, under the sponsorship of Miss Grace Johnson, is composed of girls interested in the better, more modem methods of homemaking. Their untiring efforts have been rewarded by a growing enthusiasm in this field. Girls meet the first and third Mondays of each month. Not only do the girls have regular business meetings but they also have 'work sessions' in which they put their knowledge to prac- tical use. The members of FHA offer their services at teas, parties and at all types of banquets. They always assist at the teachers teas. I'm sure that you will agree that the members of this organization certainly combine work and pleasure. I shore do, Sonny. Tell me more 'bout homemakers. Well, Old Timer, perhaps you would be interested in some of the activities in which FHA participated throughout the year. At the beginning of the year the girls entertained their mothers at a lovely tea. FHA sponsored a candy sale at which numerous varieties of candy and cookies were dis- played. Not only did FHA increase their finances but the school really enjoyed the wonderful confections. During the second semester Dorothy Ryan, who spent four years in Germany, spoke to the girls. Duly impressed with her pitiful stories of the German people the members of FHA began to assemble a box so that they might aid a home economics club in Germany. Many of the girls have established pen pals in Europe. Members of FHA always anticipate the state convention, which this year was held in Boze- man, March 31-April 2. This year the delegates from our school were Doris Newlin and Joyce Tor- rence. The state convention affords a worth-while opportunity for the girls because, from the Mon- tana group, delegates are chosen who will attend the district convention in Santa Barbara, Cali- fornia. Yep, Sonny, I guess we don't need tuh worry as long as we have girls like Future Homemak- ers of America.

Aukerman Well, Old Timer, I'll do my best to explain them. Alpha Omega Nurses club is an organiza- tion for girls intending to enter the nursing profession. Initiation at the beginning of the year caused much comment around school. They were obliged to wear mock nurses' caps and carry bandaged dolls. Most of the dolls were attired in splints and bandages from head to foot showing that they had undoubtedly been used in an ex- periment. The girls suffered from embarrassment but it was certainly fun! Guest speakers visit the club at frequent intervals. Thus far the girls have heard speeches on eyes, X-ray, psychiatry and nurses training. One of the most interesting guests heard this year was Dr. Raitt, a radiologist, who gave the history of X-ray. He permitted the girls to look through an osteoscope, which was quite an experience. He showed them numerous X-rays which he had taken. Future nurses, with the as- sistance of Dr. Raitt, took fluoroscopes of the stomach, hands and purses. He demonstrated the functioning process of the X-ray machine. A doctor's work is never done as was illustrated when the lecture was interupted by an emergency patient. Alpha Omega Nurses club toured the laboratory at the hospital and talked with the labora- tory technician. After the respective speakers, discussions and question sessions were held. Nurses at the hospitals act as foster mothers to the interested girls. Nurses of the Deaconess hospital gave a party in honor of Alpha Omega at which there was various entertainment includ- ing playing games, dancing and singing. Thus the eager girls have close fellowship with nurses. Already practicing their future motto 'to aid others', Alpha Omega Nurses made attractive favors in the form of snowmen for the children patients at the hospital. At Thanksgiving they provided a cranberry centerpiece for the hospitals. In return for the party given them by the nurses, the Alpha Omega girls gave an Easter par- ty, held Apr. 7. Movies provided most of the entertainment. At a great many meetings throughout the year movies were supplemented by interesting discussions. Under the able leadership of Mr. Aukerman Alpha Omega Nurses club is expected to con- tinue its progress. The girls realize that they have chosen a very difficult profession but they are more than willing to work for the welfare of humanity. Old Timer, I'm sure that you realize what a fine organization Alpha Omega Nurses club is. Yep, Youngster, I shore do respect them future nurses! Page Eighty-seven ‘IxJhai thiiM cAithiAA qoi hih bs twrwAabk 'bold?' Well, Dad, these students who make up the National Honor Society have a lot to be hon- orable about. For one thing only the upper third of the senior class and one fifth of the juniors are eligible for membership. Four qualifications determine their eligibility: character, scholarship, leadership and service to school and community.” What's this fer, this National Honor society? Who ever started it, Podner? I'm glad you asked that because here's the answer. After World War I, it was apparent that there was a need for some incentive toward better scholarship in high schools. Because so much stress was placed on social activities and sports some students thought these more import- ant than scholarship. Honor societies began to crop up all over the country and soon there was recognized a need for a national organization. Since adoption of the constitution in 1922, steady growth of the organization has proved its worth. Billings high school's chapter was just reorganized two years ago, having been discontin- ued during the war. Wal, these guys are smart an' stuff but do they do anythin' besides jist sittin' 'round an' lookin' intelligent? Oh, you bet, Old Timer. This club got busy and established a much-needed addition to our school. This was a vocational library. In the little room at the east end of 208 study hall they assembled books and pamphlets offering vocational guidance to students. Also college catalogs were brought together and filed. This especially helps the class of '51 and successive classes in carrying out the extra-curricular activity point system inaugurated this year. Society took charge of the sale of student theater tickets. Half the proceeds from this went to theater employees' retirement fund and half to the scholarship fund maintained by National Honor society. Purty swell, purty swell. They're always doin' somethin' nice, eh?'' Yes, Pop, that's their object in a sort of general way. Motto of the club is 'Truth is Light.' It admonishes a person to think deeply and generously and to reflect the results of their thinking to all the world with courage, directness and power.” Wal, Son, thet's a lot of big talkin' thet I can't ketch too fast but it sounds mighty nice. Guess these guys got somethin' tuh be honorable about.” President ................Donna Mosbaugh Vice President Janet Hartley Secretary-Treasurer ............Lynn Urion Sponsor....... ...........J.

President ......................Tom Welch Vice President Guy Rogers Secretary Treasurer..........Stan Thompson Sponsors.......Coach Bill Lazetich, Coach Jack Emigh, Coach Roy Morin No, Pop, this club definitely doesn't write letters, they earn them. Earn letters? Now, jist what is the all-fired profit in earnin' a piece of paper? No, no, Gramps, you've got it all wrong! These boys don't earn paper letters, they earn their letters in sports. These letters are given only to those who have played the required num- ber of quarter or halves, or who have earned the necessary points. Tell me more 'bout this club, Son. I'm not so dad-blamed confused now. It sounds right interestin'. Lettermen's club not only gives its members an extra school activity but teaches teamwork and sportsmanship, something vital to a school's existence. One of the highlights of the club's activities was the annual dinner-dance held at the North- ern hotel. Expenses for this affair were paid from the profits obtained by selling refreshments at basketball games. Oh, by the way, Old Timer, I almost forgot to tell you one of the most entertaining things about this organization. Lettermen's club is one of the few clubs in BHS which requires an initia- tion. Initiation, huh? Wal, what do they do tuh these here new ones? Put live toads in their bed rolls? Well, I'm afraid they don't go that far, although is it a good idea. What they really do is set aside three days for initiation. On the first day of the initiation the beys were required to wear overalls, T-shirts, neckties, and bedroom slippers. Second day brought pajama tops and corduroy pants with signs, 'I am a Baby Bronc.' For the last day they dressed like girls and blacked their faces. Finally, the worst insult came. Initiates had to bow down to the full fledged lettermen and shout 'Praise Ye Brones' three times and shine their shoes. But to be strictly hon- est, Old Timer, I think they enjoyed the whole process very much. Hot dog, thet really sounds like the 'good old times'. I shore wish I were young an' spry enough tuh go out fer sports so's I could join a rootin'-tootin' club like thet. We wish you could too, Old Timer. I know the boys would be glad to have you.

President....................Janet Hartley Vice President ..............Margaret Ennis Secretary-Treasurer .......Jeanne Kellogg Sponsor .........................Henry Harsch This is Quill and Scroll, Gramps. Does that mean anything to you? Wal, recallin' all my experience as sheriff I should be able tuh detect. I'd say they was a bunch of writers or somethin'. You're right! Quill and Scroll is an International Honor Society for High School Journal- ists. Sonny, would yuh mind explainin' a little 'bout this society. I know it's 'bout writin' an' newspapers an' stuff but ... Wouldn't mind at all, Old Timer. Quill and Scroll was founded back in 1926. Thet's since my time but it ain't a new organization at thet, eh? Not very new, at least. You see, it was quite a while ago that someone realized the need of an organization like this. National Scholastic Press association, for example, awards the work of a staff as a unit by judging and rating its publication. Quill and Scroll in addition awards in- dividual achievement by admitting membership to this honorary society. What do these members do? Seems tuh me if tha're so smart tuh git in tuh a honorary or- ganization like this 'un, they should always be doin' somethin' worth while. They do, Old Timer. They have a full time job. That is helping to publish a paper and a yearbook. You see, almost all the members of our chapter are on the Kyote paper or annual staff and some are on both. This occupies their time, leaving no time for any extra club work. If these students do a good job of putting out these publications they have fulfilled the requirements for good club members. In BHS, therefore, Quill and Scroll is an inactive journalistic honorary so- ciety. Thet's fine, Laddie, very fine. Do they have them chapters thet do function as a reg'lar club? Yes, in schools which have separate staffs for publishing their paper and annual. Quill and Scroll is an active organization. Some of these clubs publish a guide book of the community, write a history of the school, issue a student handbook and other such helps. Nice club. These kids can be proud. Page Ninety ‘Gjtl m fdJudiotL fan. bsdJt c Apocck. cuncL dtuamcL. ' Say, Son, jist what is Masque and Gavel anyway?1' Well, Old Timer, it is rather difficult to tell from the name but Masque and Gavel is a na- tional speech organization whose purpose is the betterment of speech in school, community and nation. This can be achieved through the good examples of its members and by carrying out ac- tivities which show students the real value of good speech. What kind of young'uns do they git tuh join thet club? A lot of factors are considered before choosing members and the standards are set at a high level. Among things considered are scholarship, leadership, ability and character. These must meet top-notch approval of faculty and members. Wal, what all do they do, besides further better speech? This year has really been a busy one for Masque and Gavel. They put on a number of assemblies, including a Christmas program, the Lincoln assembly, and pep assemblies. Under the sponsorship of Masque and Gavel the Gay Nineties Review was presented featuring a melodrama, Pure as the Driven Snow. The club also conducted a one-act play contest in which sophomore, junior and senior classes each presented a one-act play. The winning play was chosen and awarded a trophy on which the name of the winning play was engraved. The best actor, actress and director also received recognition. It sounds like they work purty hard, Son. Do they ever have time fer fun, too?' Of course the members are so interested in their work that they get a lot of enjoyment out of the above activities. But they also have time for the lighter side of life. Masque and Gavel members sponsored cast parties after the major productions, What a Life and Barretts of Wim- pole Street. Another worth-while activity which the club took part in was the sponsoring of the Apprentices of Masque and Gavel. Through this club many fine students are prepared for mem- bership in Masque and Gavel. I'm jist goin' tuh have tuh admit it, Son. Yuh've convinced me that Masque and Gavel is a fine clubl First Semester Second Semester President ..................................Hugh Morton...................George Snell Vice President .............................Pat Bertelson.................Estelle Strong Secretary ..................................Pat McGinnis................

Say, Son, how long has them fellows been 'round here? Well, Old Timer, Mar. 16, 1931, marked the beginning of the Yellowstone Chapter of the Fu- ture Farmers of America which has nearly 100 members at present. Wal, now, what do they do, anyway? In my days a farmer farmed—never heard of sich goin s omy Qutstanding activities have highlighted the past year's calendar. One of the foremost was their two thousand mile bus trip in July. At this time the boys attended the Calgary Stam- pede visited Canadian national parks and stopped at Lake Louise. On the return trip they spent three days at the FFA State camp at Flathead Lake and toured the state capitol at Helena Attending the National FFA convention at Kansas City were Kenneth Cox, Jack Welsh, Bob Weiss, Don Ronan and Duane Steiger. Another annual affair was the Parent-Son banquet which more than two hundred and fifty parents and friends attended. Say, Son, does FFA ever win anything? , T Yes, Old Timer, they copped their share of the honors this year. The Senior Livestock Judg- ing team, consisting of Duane Steiger, Bob Weiss, Don Ronan and Jack Welsh, attained an all-time record by winning first place at both the North Montana State fair and the Midland Empire fair. Raymond Frank won an Aberdeen-Angus steer by taking first place in the annual FFA livestock judging contest. But what does FFA do fer the boys? By activity in club work, farm shop, vocational-agriculture classes, and supervised tarm pro- grams, FFA strives to develop rural leadership, cooperation and useful citizenship. Probably no national student organization enjoys greater freedom of self-government under adult counsel than the Future Farmers of America! President .....................

As a climax to the year's work, the Yellowstone FFA chapter attended the district and state conventions. At the annual southeastern Montana district convention held in Bridger, our chapter won top judging honors. By placing first in the sweepstakes event, Yellowstone chapter attained a rec- ord of two firsts and one second in the last three years. Billings placed first in the livestock judg- ing and farm mechanics contests. Represented by Preston Sweeney, Billings placed second in the public speaking contest. These boys were all proud to represent the Yellowstone chapter of FFA!

This 'accurate chronicle of student activity' was published every other Fri- day during the school year by the stu- dents of the journalism class. Jeannette Culbertson was editor; Mr. Henry Harsch. adviser; subscriptions were $1 per year; paid subscriptions were 680. The story of this class, its progress from awe-inspired newcomers to pio- neer journalists, began with advertis- ing which was obtained by members of the class. With shaky knees and weak voices, the young reporters con- fidently and competently secured the contracts from local business houses and presented them to Mr. Harsch. Vir- ginia Smith and Pat McGinnis, co-ad- vertising managers, saw to it that ads were in the correct issues. Circulation was the next problem. Margaret Ennis was appointed man- ager of the circulation staff. She and her associates planned an assembly, the drive and announcements over the public address system.

Their first story was the climax of tangled nerves, solemn prayers, dili- gent typing and serious thought. Each was proud to have had a part in the paper—'Our paper', as they called it. Soon, newspaper language crept into their vocabularies. 'Lead', 'delete', 'proof' and others became familiar ex- pressions around the journalism room, words they thought they would never learn. Last year's Kyote paper was given the International Honor Award by Quill and Scroll, the highest award ever re- ceived by the paper. Reports on this year's publication have not as yet been received. It was a great year for the Kyote pa- per, full of excitement, big stories and experiences we'll all remember.

Its 75 pieces have represented themselves well; first as a marching band, then a pep band for assemblies and basketball games, and last, concert group. Tell me more, Youngster. The first half of the year is devoted to marching for the football games. For this they march first period every morning to perfect their drills and formations. Pep band puts in a lot of time in extra work such as playing for all the pep assemblies. I'm sure the school really appreciates its efforts. A larger pep band plays for the basketball games. Concert season started right after Christmas vacation. No more march music but pieces such as 'Little Joe, The Wrangler', 'Latin-American Fantasy' and 'Juke Box' are prepared. At this concert there was an intermission during which Virginia Rowe and her dancers were featured. Virginia instructed and flag and baton twirlers did the dancing. What other stuff besides music do they do? For the second year band sponsored a Supper Club dance. As the best dance of the year it required a lot of work. Joy Judkins was the general chairman and un- der her worked all the others. Gym was elaborately decorated, this year in green, yellow and white, and the general appearance was like that of a supper club. Tables were placed around a dance floor while band members worked as waiters and waitresses to take or- ders for sandwiches, coke and ice cream. Let me also tell you, Pop, of the groups from this organization who went to Great Falls for the Solo and Ensemble meet there. These trips usually climax each year's work in band. (BanjdL Star This one band forma- tion took rnanym practices in cold mornings out on the football field.

Besides leading all the cheers, which include the good old favorite 'Br-Conga' done to a conga rhythm, the girls also put on assemblies to cheer the teams to victory- They were the ones to welcome the visiting schools and help us gain a good reputation with out-of-town students.

Tell me, Son, how do they get to be cheerleaders? It's really an honor, Old Timer. First the girls who would like to be cheerleaders try out in front of Pep club. A ballot is cast and the ten winners practice all summer and at the first of the year, six of these final ten are chosen to be regulars. Usually there is one alternate. This year the girls were led by Cheer Queen Pinky McCallie. Page One Hundred One 'Ovqa, 150 voiaiA io AsAsumdsL kJl. ' Here, Pop, I'd like you to meet Mr. Charles R. Cutts who supervises all the music in the Billings public schools. Yuh mean everythin'? Yes, Old Timer. He visits all the different music classes all over town and also has chorus fifth period here at BHS. Mr. Cutts has really worked hard to make our music department one of the best and most com- plete in this state. Pop, before you stands one of the largest groups in BHS. It's our chorus of over 150 voices. They add greatly to the music department of the high school by performing for assem- blies, the traditional caroling in the halls before Christmas, and the annual concert. Tell me more 'bout them assemblies, caroling an' the con- cert, will yuh, Sonny? Sure I will. Within the chorus there are several groups such as the boys quartet, double quintet and several trios. This is the way the chorus is represented in assemblies. Caroling in the halls at Christmas is one of the most look- ed-forward-to occasions of the whole year. Chorus dresses up in their black gowns and each carries a candle. Their close har- mony adds a lot to the traditional songs of this season. And now for the annual concert given by this group. Mr. Charles R. Cutts works the chorus hard all year. Concert is given, which in a way, measures the group's accomplishments. At this same concert Mr. Cutts allows some of the better groups and individuals to do solo work. Also here I had better make some mention of the two accompanists, Donna Mosbaugh and Patterson Jones. These girls do a lot of work learning the pieces. Is this all the chorus does, Young'un? No. As in years past, Mr. Cutts picked two outstanding groups of students to take to Portland, Ore., for the Northwest Music Educators Conference. This year BHS was represented by the boys quartet and a girls string quartet, both of which you'll meet later. While there, the boys sang in the All-North- west High School chorus and made very good places and the girls made good places in the orchestra but we are particularly proud of Carol Critelli who made a solo chair. I shore kin see why yore chorus is so good. FIRST ROW (Left to Right)—Pat Hall, Harriett Gilbert. Carol Critelli, Beryl Bartlett, David Penwell, Gene Christiansen, Don Rothschiller. Lewis Plouvier.

Just a group of BHS boys who happened to get to- gether and sing and hit it off so well that they stayed together. Are they good, Young'un? You bet they're good, Old Timer. So good that they went to Portland, Ore., to take part in the Northwest Music Educators Conference and also attended the Solo and Ensemble meet at Great Falls. We really are proud of them. It's too bad they can't stay together but only Dick Fletcher will be able to carry on because the other three graduate. What kind of songs do they sing? A lot of Negro spirituals but others, too. One of the first songs they ever sang was 'Animals' and it remained a favorite. Chorus and BHS can really be proud of this group. 'These four ain't singin', are they?' Right here, Gramps, is our string quartet. Them instruments look like the kind we used tuh play fer square dances. They are but these girls use them to play for our assemblies and for the chorus concert. The boys weren't the only ones to attend the meets at Portland, Ore., and Great Falls, for these girls went, too. But back to square dances. They haven't yet played for one but they did play 'Turkey in the Straw' for an assembly. I heard thet piece played and it takes some right snappy fiddlin'. What other kinds pieces do they play? Mostly classical or at least along that line. They even played the background music for our play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street'. I shore would like tuh hear them. RAINBOW SEXTET 'Six more singers?' Yes, Gramps, they all sing and they are good, too. This group isn't strictly a high school organization as is probably suggest- ed by its name, Rainbow Sextet. Hey, whoa up thar, Young'un, what's this Rainbow? Left to Right—Eva Jeanne Allen, Rosemary Anderson, Jean Erickson, Jan Janney, Barbara Brokaw, Pat Hall. It's an organization for girls outside of school. They not only sing for school but at other things like teas and meetings of the different organizations. They were especi- ally busy around Christmas time. Lamin' all them songs must take a lot of time. When do they do it? Well, I guess mostly whenever they can unless something very important comes up and then they set regular practices which are usually held at Pat Hall's or Rosemary Anderson's house.

Bronc Coaches In years past and present Billings high school has been noted for champions. Guiding power be- hind any team is its coaching staff and behind our champs is an outstanding set of coaches. Head Coach William B. Lazetich, while a new- comer to Billings, has produced one championship team and one runner-up in three years of coach- ing here. Assistant Coach Jack R. Emigh, line mentor, was responsible for turning out the hard charging, fast moving linemen for which the Broncs are becom- ing noted. Assistant Coach Roy Morin provided the Broncs with new candidates from the B squad. Sound knowledge of fundamentals taught by Mr. Morin always gives a team that important edge. These three men work as one coaching squad and for that reason harmony and team work is farthered. Players will never forget the assurance and companionship of three swell men.

This was the Mustangs' first win over the Treasure State team since 1942. Nervousness may have been the reason for the fumble and intercepted pass which spelled defeat for the Broncs. Late in the final period of the hard fought fray Chuck Spaulding, Mustang luminary, crashed through from the 2. This came about after the Broncs dropped a pass, Casper recovering and working it down close. Shortly before the final gun Dean Byers and Dick Sedar alternated to car- ry the leather up to the Bronc 10-yard line. There Dick Henderson took the ball through the line to the 4 where Sedar crashed over to score. Lyle Covington, Mustang tackle and former Billings athlete, converted both extra points. Playing their first game with only two of the last year's regulars, Broncs were very much lacking in experience but made up for it with spunk ana spark. Injuries plagued the Broncs, too. Captain Bob Graves and fullback Jerry Walker were benched with bad ankles. Broncs showed good defense and at times good offense. A goal line stand on their own 2, was the best defense shown by either team. Much larger Mustangs hammered 4 successive plunges, but failed to score. Playing their first home game before an esti- mated crowd of nearly four thousand fans, the Broncs of Billings put a win on their new score- board. Dick Skates made the first touchdown of the game with less than three minutes of playing time elapsed. This was brought about by Sheridan fumbling the kickoff which Skates picked up. He then ran 34 yards to be dropped just short of the goal. On the next play, a hand-off, Skates scored standing up. Before a quarter had gone by, Jack Peterson, tricky Billings halfback, slipped over. Opening the second half, a march of five con- secutive first downs put the ball deep in Sheridan territory. Then a short pass from Bronc quarter- back Dick Shadoan to Jim Warsinske put the ball across. Joe Bowman converted the season's first extra point. Arch Martin intercepted a Sheridan pass to set up another score. Peterson again packed the leather for a touchdown with Bowman doing con- version honors. Broncs were caught napping when Dick Carroll, Sheridan fullback, sprinted 27 yards on a reverse play. Jim Eckerman then raced around end to make Sheridan's only tally. Graves picks up first down. Joe Bowman lack Peterson Dick Skates Dick Shadoan fim Noe (BiUbiqA. 0-mAiaula. 16 (BiUbiqi. 0 Starting the season against one of the league's toughest teams, Billings was defeated by Missoula 16-0. Despite the fact that the Broncs made 16 first downs to the Spartans' 4 and completed 14 of 29 passes to the opponents' 4 out of 13, they couldn't seem to score. Coach Bill Lazetich was quoted as saying, If the field had been 10 yards shorter we would have beaten them by two touchdowns. A short Bronc pass was intercepted in the first quarter by Jim Watson, burly Spartan tackle, who ran 35 yards for a touchdown. Eddie Anderson, center, converted the extra point. In the third quarter a Billings punt was blocked behind the goal to give Missoula an automatic safety and make the score 9-0. Late in the third period Lyle Sayler, Spartan standout, drove over for another touchdown. An- derson again made the extra point. A second period injury to Bob Graves somewhat handicapped the Broncs but lack Peterson, new halfback find, filled the spot ably. In a beautiful show of passing strength the Broncs repeatedly marched into touchdown territory, only to lose the ball on bad breaks. Although cold with a little snow, the weather didn't seem to handicap either team. A vastly improved team of Kalispell Braves met defeat at Billings in the Broncs' second conference tilt. This year, under expert tutelage of Frank Lit- tle, the Braves made the Broncs dig for every inch of ground gained. Scoring didn't start until the second period when Broncs, after an exchange of punts, started a drive from their own 40-yard line. A 25-yard dash by Jack Peterson and an 11-yard pass from Dick Sha- doan to Harrison Fagg set the stage for a score. Peterson then packed the leather to the two and on the next play piled over. Joe Bowman's place- ment failed. A recovered Brave fumble on the Kalispell team's own 8-yard line was the setup for the second Bronc score. Peterson charged hard to the 1-foot line where Jerry Walker slammed through to tally. Jim Elliot made the placement but it was called back on a penalty. His next try failed. An interception by Shadoan and beautiful run- ning by the Bronc quartet put the ball on the 14- yard line. Then Arch Martin dashed through a hole at left tackle and through a baffled secondary for the payoff. Bowman made the extra point. Kalispell, while playing a hard game, failed to penetrate the 15-yard limit of the host club. Jerry Walker Peterson gains five. Fred Peterson Don Clark Walker bitten by Butte Bulldog Rheinhold Bentz fiiUinqA TnacondcL 6 tSUIitufA, 73 - £uHsl 7 Anaconda's sadly inexperienced Copperheads were dropped by six touchdowns in one of the season's highest scored games. This was the last conference game Billings will play against Ana- conda as the latter will return to the class A circuit in the '49 season. Broncs, paced by halfback, Jack Peterson, did all their scoring in the first three periods. Peterson started scoring when he went 45 yards for a touchdown with less than a minute of the first quarter elapsed. Jim Elliot went in to make the score 7-0 when he converted the extra point. Jerry Walker reeled the next major gain, 39 yards of a 71-yard sustained drive, to make touch- down number two. The try for extra point failed and the score was left at 13-0. After Billings recovered a Copperhead fumble in the second quarter, Arch Martin cracked the line from the one for the period's first tally. Dick Sitzman skirted across for the final TD of the first half. Opening the second half with a bang, Stevens went 66 yards to score on the second play. Shortly afterward Stevens went through center for 25 yards and a score. Broncs' final tally came when Sitz- man sprinted 36 yards to score standing up. Copperhead Tony Beausoliel, carrying the leath- er, scampered 12 yards for their lone score. Wrapping up their old rival, Butte, last year's Championship opponent, by the score of 12-6, the Billings Broncs rolled onward. It was a hard- hitting, fast-moving band of Bulldogs they met that night, but the age-old statue of liberty play brought the Broncs through. Playing on a rugged even scale, neither team was able to score during the first half. Accepting the second half kick-off on their own 30, the Broncs succeeded in marching down the field in three successive first downs to the Bulldog 26. There, Arch Martin took the ball on a hand-off from Dick Shadoan to race over for the score. A penalty be- ing called on their first conversion, Jim Elliot tried again from 16 yards out but missed by inches. Butte made their sole score when, after Bob Cra- ver and Bill McKechnie had worked it to the one, Jack Saunders drove over to tally. Guay's place- ment failed. To ice the game for the Orange and Black, Bob Graves took the ball from Shadoan on the famous statue of liberty play. With the throttle wide open he sped across, making the winning score. Winston Tustison's extra point try failed. Ceremonies that night were held, dedicating the stadium to the late Fred T. Daylis. Highlight of the formalities was unveiling of the new scoreboard inscribed Daylis Stadium. Clinton Fuchs Guy Rodgers H. B.

Because Helena dominated the first quarter, Bil- lings scored all their points in the rousing second quarter with Bengals making their 7 in the final stanza. Bob Graves, behind beautiful teamwork, was the man who put across the touchdown. Dick Shadoan took the ball for 7 yards on a sneak on the next play; he gave it to Graves who drove through for 13. A Shadoan-Graves pass put the ball on the 22-yard line where another toss to Graves on the goal gave him his score. Jim Elliot converted. Helena's series of touchdown plays started on their own 30 late in the final period. A series of passes from quarterback Beilis to Stewart, Kelly and Eaton put the ball on the 5-yard line. Edwards then skirted his right end for the tally. Olsen came in to make the extra point. This game was one of the Broncs' most impor- tant games and was a thriller up until the final gun. It was also one of the final steps that put the ambitious Broncs in the championship game. BHS band presented the half-time ceremonies in cooperation with the Helena band. Billings Ma- jorette corps gave their Gypsy Dance, followed by a Navy day commemoration by the Helena aggre- gation. Billings took the Big 7 Championship and its last step toward playing in the Turkey Day Spe- cial by edging a hard fighting Bison team 13- 12. The victory gave Coach Bill Lazetich's boys five wins and one loss in conference competition and put them in the grid crown playoff. Great Falls' first touchdown came in the first three minutes of play. After gaining possession of the ball through exchange of punts on their 35, the Bisons started to march. In six swift plays they reached the Bronc 7 where Bob Yurko knifed through tackle to paydirt. Campbell failed on the placement. Billings started their initial touchdown thrust when Dick Shadoan and Bob Graves alternated down to the Bison 4. Jerry Walker then drove to the 1 where Shadoan sneaked over the chalk line. Winston Tustison's magic toe put the place- ment through with room to spare. Midway through the third period, after Jack Pe- terson, Dick Skates and Arch Martin had worked the leather down to the 1, Jerry Walker plunged over. The placement was blocked. Eager to even the score, Great Falls ran the kick-off back to their 49. Then a six-yard gain plus a 15-yard penalty on Billings put the Bisons on the Bronc 30. After two plays, Campbell-Talcott passes, Joe Gudatis boomed over tackle to score from the 5. Again Campbell's kick was blocked to cool Great Falls' hope of a tie. Stan Thompson Tom Welch Jim Elliot A1 Vandegenachte Grecrt Falls kick conversion Great Falls completes pass hampwnAhifL ijamiL Broncs entering the state playoff with a Big 7 record of five wins and one loss, dropped a hard fought game to Great Falls, 14 to 2. First half being scoreless, the Bisons were quick to change it with a 30-yard run by Bob Yurko. Billings was trailing by seven points when Jack Peterson took the kick-off and slipped into the clear only to be brought down on the 50-yard stripe by the last man. Fighting hard the Broncs held the Bisons until Don Talcott, Bison end, scored on a pass from Gene Carlson. Bronc lone tally came after Carlson, Bison full- back, recovered a blocked kick in the end zone, giving the Broncs two points. Yards Billings Score Downs Rushing vs. Opp. Bigs. Opp. Bigs. Opp. Bigs.

Broncs emerged from the first series with Sheridan here on even terms, both squads winning one. Story was different when Billings traveled to Casper. Wyoming champs swept both ends of a double-header and the best the Broncs could salvage was a conquest over Thermopolis. Playing preliminary games before the an- Varsity Basketball Coaches Coaches William V. Lazetich and Roy V. Morin nual Montana State-Wyoming college tilts here, Broncs looked a bit shaky but poured on the coal to trounce Sheridan 35-26 in their first encounter. It looked like a repeat perform- ance was in store for the second game when the Orange and Black led 10-4 at first quarter. However, in the second period, Sheridan Broncs appeared rejuvenated, because they poured in 14 points and coasted along to a tie as the game ended. Invaders then managed to nose ahead in the overtime to a 29-28 vic- tory. After packing their grips the Broncs set forth on their first trip—deep into the enemy territory of Wyoming. Billings first tackled the scrappy Thermopolis Bobcats. Thermopolis set the pace until the third period when the Broncs fired up TOP (Left to Right)—Dick Shadoan. Jack Robinson, Les Heins.

Following nights at Casper were ones the revengeful Cowboys were waiting for, because they no doubt remembered last year's double defeat at Billings' hands. Mustangs squeezed by the first game by staving off a late rally that almost caught the Cowpokes. Broncs out- scored the Mustangs in the last period but lacked the punch to drive by, losing 28-27. Casper lost little time in their second game, as they roared past the tiring Broncs 54-32. This series ended Billings' non-conference schedule. Win-hungry Broncs were itching to get into league play and it wouldn't be long. 1949 Bronc Captains Jack Robinson and Dick Shadoan Broncs Stumbled When Big 16 Gun Went Oft Yes, the team was green and inexperienced when the league season began and they knew it. Hardest foes were met at the beginning of the season. As a result the Broncs kept Sid- ney company in the conference cellar for quite a while. Although these first losses appeared discouraging, the team constantly improved as the season progressed, working with their whole hearts to keep old BHS in the running. Anaconda's powerful Copperheads, Iasi year's champs, were the first to down the Broncs. Billings actually lost the game in the TOP (Left to Right)—Bud Gilbert, Don Clark, Jim Elliot.

Broncs fought valiantly to overcome this lead by outscoring the Cop- perheads in the next two quarters, but wound up on the low end of a 45-39 score. Utilizing a fast break, the Great Falls Bisons overcame an early Billings lead and outscored the Broncs in every quarter. Visitors pulled away to a 29-18 half-time lead, winning 48-30. Despite a loss to Missoula following Christ- mas vacation, the Broncs looked improved in every way, they led until the last period when the Spartans broke into a scoring splurge, slowed the pace and finally won 45-39. Even Lewistown upset the Broncs. This one really hurt because it was such a close game. Lead changed hands constantly. Billings was ahead 30-29 with three seconds to go when an Eagle made the basket that broke the game up with Lewistown winning 31-30. In their second tangle with Great Falls the Broncs failed to budge the determined Bisons. Closest the Orange and Black came to narrow- ing the score was in the third period, almost catching the Bisons, 39-34. Billings limped home with another defeat, Great Falls having won 57-42. There Were No Alibis—They lust Fought On Coach Roy Morin was always optimistic. He impressed the student body, keeping them sol- idly behind the team even when the going was tough. No one was sure what would hap- pen when the Broncs took on Sidney and Glendive, but here at home the Broncs wallop- f ed both teams soundly. Sidney couldn't find the hoop at all and after an Eagle guard made a basket in the opening minutes, Broncs held the Eagles to a one- hitter. Eagles made 16 free throws but were Page One Hundred Fourteen 16 baskets behind when the game ended, 52-18. Glendive Red Devils couldn't seem to shake loose and tallied only five baskets during the fray. Every Bronc on the bench contributed to this victory. Score—Billings 45, Glendive 21. At Butte the following week was a thriller. Broncs led most of the time and were ahead 44-39 going into the last quarter. That period almost duplicated Missoula's last stand when the Bulldogs piled up the points in a last min- ute rally that barely edged the Orange and Black 53-51. Moving up the road to Anaconda, the Broncs lost their seventh league game. Copperheads pulled away from the Bronc halftime lead of 27-22 to total 11 points in the third quarter while the Broncs sadly made a lone free throw. Final score—Anaconda 50, Billings 37. Stretch Drive Broncs Scale Big 16 Ladder Billings was 14 steps from the top of the Big Gilbert Streaks Through Cowboys 16 conference ladder. It would take a lot of wins to pull out from under. Most of the late season games were against teams already en- countered; in three Orange and Black tasted sweet revenge. This review of the remaining games shows the hard, tense ball playing with which the Broncs ended the season. Next two games on the Bronc slate pitted Billings against the Miles City Cowboys and Bozeman Hawks. Broncs walloped Miles City 55-41. Following the Cowboy pattern, the Boze- man Hawks were put to flight 37-24 to wind up a successful week-end for Billings. These wins provided the Broncs with enough push to advance to 11th place ahead of the faltering Bozeman lads. League-leading Great Falls was toppled by Missoula and Kalispell. Butte Central and Anaconda were battling to advance and the outcome of the Big 16 race was in doubt. Any Broncs hope for extending their winning streak was ended at Livingston. Fans started Bulldogs Rough Vladic leaving when the Broncs side of the clock read 42-41 with a few seconds remaining, but the home team squeezed in a bucket in time to shade Billings 43-42. Next night was another nightmare. Score was tied at half-time and see-sawed through the last half, ending in a deadlock 35-all. Dur- ing overtime it wasn't until a desperation shot from the comer swished the net as the buzzer sounded that the Broncs edged by, 41-39. All Over But the Shouting—at Tournaments Billings hoped to repeat its previous win over the Cowboys, but found the hoop too late to be effective. Miles City opened up a terrific early lead that appeared to stifle the Broncs until the last quarter. Even though the Orange and Black out-scored the Pokes by five points in the last period, they couldn't close the gap. Miles City 52, Billings 49. Both Lewistown and Butte Public who ar- rived here that week-end found the Billings team a much-improved squad than they had previously beaten. Eagles were routed 40-30 that Friday and Saturday the Broncs trounced Butte soundly 64-43. During these tilts one could hardly miss smooth team play the Broncs exhibited, scor- ing honors being well distributed. Next two games were return engagements with hapless Sidney and Glendive. Both squads were definitely underdogs after the lacing Billings had administed before. A distinct advantage of playing on their home court helped the Red Devils play a bet- ter brand of ball than expected. Nevertheless, the hosts started too slow and couldn't catch the early Bronc lead. Big 16 championship was wrested from Anaconda by Great Falls this year by virtue of winning 15 out of 18 league tilts. The other Page One Hundred Fifteen FRONT ROW (Left to Right)—Roily Strutz.

The only hurdle left was Park, which al- ready held a win over Billings. Large crowd turned out to see this last home game. Broncs proceeded to outscore the visitors in every pe- riod, trouncing Livingston, 56-40. By this win the Broncs almost replaced the Rangers in the first division. Livingston ended its season only .007 percentage point ahead of Billings. Though finishing in 9th place in Big 16 the Broncs were in there fighting to overcome their early losing streak. They finished the season by winning eight out of their last ten games, heading into the state divisional tournament at Bozeman as one of the most improved teams in the state. Billings was rated a strong dark- horse entry. Billings, though losing exactly half of its total games (12 wins, 12 losses), came out the best on statistics. This can be attributed to the fact that they lost four heartbreakers by a single point and in two other tilts lost by two and three points. Broncs averaged 40.9 points- per-game to their foes' 38. Billings' total league standing was 10 wins, 9 losses for a .533 per- centage. They scored 822 points against 746 for opponents in Big 16 games, but the Wyo- ming teams outscored the Broncs 160 to 166 in five encounters. Two against the Broncs. Warsinske tries a tip-in. Heins does it the hard way. 7949 Colt Ending their season with a record of 15 wins and 1 loss, the Colts fared better than any previous B squad. Coach Jack Emigh's under- classmen rode through 14 straight wins. Combining the A and B squads for the first time, top 10 men were considered the varsity while the lower 10 the B squad. Their record stands as two wins over Laurel, Livingston, Bozeman, Miles City B squads. Two over Fromberg high school and Billings Junior High School. Lavina, Park City and Forsyth varsity teams suffered one defeat at the hands of the Orange and Black quintet. Baby Broncs handle a rebound. Buchanan s ScUkksdbalL Bob Brown led the Colt scoring with 142 points in 16 games. Southern Divisional Tournament at Bozeman Heading into the tourney Broncs were itch- ing for action. Facing Butte in their first en- counter, Broncs trailed 25-20 at half-time, but rallied in the last period, winning 45-43. Livingston was the stumbling block. Rangers trailed 22-20 at half-time but outscored the Broncs, winning 45-43. Broncs smothered Bozeman 56-40 to ad- (Continued on Page 121) ores for Colts.

With only four returning lettermen, Coach Jack Emigh had other possibilities in Jack Peterson, Harrison Fagg, David Waldorf, Tom Welch, Bob Halverson and the Clark brothers. Letterman Jerry Walker led the field events, while lettermen Dick Sitzman and Bob Greer added to the hurdles. Jerry Stephens, potential four-year letterman, worked the mile. In the field events Tom Welch, Bob Buchanan and Joe Bowman pushed the shot. Same three combined with Duane Degn to throw the discus, while Winston Tustison, Frank Nichels, Jim Noe and Greer sailed the javelin. Dale and Dallas Clark, both freshmen, added greatly to the Orange and Black 440-yard dash men. Dallas won his first two races, while his twin, Dale, contributed to the broad jump. Peterson. Fagg, Waldorf and Duke McDermott sprinted in plenty of points. Distance runs were in the hands of Bob Han- son, George Ratzlaff, Louis Pulver and Richard Smith. Halverson took over the pole vault chores, while Greer, Tustison, Jim Warsinske and Dean Phelan high jumped. Members of the relay team were Fagg, Sitz- man, Peterson and Waldorf. One of the outstanding meets of the year is always the Helena relay. Helena's Junior Chamber of Commerce sponsors the annual af- fair inviting the outstanding track teams of the state. Billings entries in this year's meet were: Varsity 100-yd. dash—Jack Peterson. Frosh 100-yd. dash—Dale Clark, McDermott. Varsity broad jump—David Waldorf. Frosh broad jump—Duke McDermott, Dale Clark.

Dropping the opener to Cody, Wyo., by a V2 point, the home team came through to win the tri-county meet the following week by a large margin. Track schedule for this year was much long- er. After the Helena relay came a three-way meet with Great Falls and Helena. State meet followed in the first week of May. A tangle with Montana State college frosh team was the final meet of the year.

Paoe One Hundred Nineteen Girls Afternoon Bowling Sophomore Basketball Team Clihloik Interest in girls sports seems to increase each year among all three classes, sophomore, jun- ior and senior. Main sports of the year, sponsored by GAA, are volleybally, basketball, bowling, badmin- ton and tennis. Sophomore class was outstanding, winning both volleyball and basketball tournaments. After about three weeks of Monday and Wed- nesday evening volleyball practices, girls in each class chose their co-captains. Co-captains then, with the aid of Miss Lillian Cervenka, chose one sophomore, one junior and one sen- ior team. First, seniors took on the juniors and then the sophomores, winning both games. Prospects were bright and seniors were confi- dent of taking the tournament. This confidence was gradually chipped away, though, as soph- Big 16 Conference Team Opp. Billings Anaconda 44 36 Great Falls ... 48 30 Missoula 45 39 Great Falls ... 57 30 Fergus 31 52 Sidney 18 42 Glendive 21 45 Butte 53 51 Anaconda 48 37 Miles City .... 41 55 Bozeman 24 37 Livingston .... 43 42 Bozeman 39 41 Custer 52 49 Fergus 30 39 Butte 43 64 Glendive 39 51 Sidney 29 52 Livingston .... 40 56 HEINS, GILBERT AND In the back of every athlete's mind is the de- sire to be on the all-state team. lumping center for the Broncs this year was Leaping Lester Heins. Heins was placed high on the third team for the AP choice. He was first on Nick's Pick dream team. Termed the most polished basketball player dAAjociaiwn omores came back with two straight victories to place on top, seniors second and juniors last with no wins to their credit. As basketball time rolled around, seniors were out to avenge the humiliating sophomore victory. Again they started well but were over- taken and overcome by the sophomores. Jun- iors placed second and seniors, third. Bowling is organized differently. Several teams consist of girls from all three classes. This tournament continues all year with one team finally emerging on top and being presented with a gold trophy. Badminton is also increasing in popularity among the girls. Tournament followed imme- diately at the close of basketball. Then when spring finally came, everyone dug out their tennis racquets and began chasing balls. 1949 BASKETBALL STATISTICS Team Opp. Billings Sheridan 26 35 Sheridan 29 28 Thermopolis 29 38 Casper 28 27 Casper 54 32 Divisional Tourney Team Opp. Billings Butte 43 45 Livingston ... 46 43 Bozeman 40 56 Butte 31 55 State Tourney Team Opp. Billings Kalispell .... - 46 32 Havre 40 42 Missoula 67 56 SHADOAN WIN HONORS in the state, speedy Bud Gilbert placed on the AP third team. Dick Shadoan pulled in an honorable men- tion with AP and a berth on second team on the Southern Divisional squad. These are Billings all-staters but don't forget Jack Robinson and Don Vladic. Page One Hundred Twenty Tip-olf in Championship Game QniJiamWial foh JcamwoAk and (phaAuAc Not every sports minded boy can play on the varsity team. This is the main reason intra- mural basketball was formed. It provides com- petitive basketball for about one hundred sev- enty-five boys. This year's league was split into a National and American circuit. One loop was sponsored by a business concern while the others had no sponsor. Games were played in the evening and ref- erees were varsity team members. Coaches William V. Lazetich and Roy V. Morin super- vised all games. Team spirit was comparable to that of the varsity. High spirits made the games fast and exciting with some scores going into the sixties. Sticking to top role was Lee's Seniors. They were the intramural champions. On the team were Captain Don Majerus, Dick Knoche, Jim Erickson, Jim Leach, Laverne Groskop, Bill Ask- wig, Harrison Fagg, Jim Reid, Danny Hudson and Tom Brooks. It was through intramural that Lester Heins was noticed by Mr. Morin and brought up to the A team where he was top Bronc scorer for the 1949 season. Although intramural doesn't get as much pub- licity or student support it means as much to the individual who is playing as a place on the varsity team. BRONCS PLACE IN DIVISIONAL AND STATE TOURNEYS (Continued from Page 117) vance to the consolation finals against Butte. Butte had pulled the upset of the tourney previously by eliminating Anaconda, seeded first place. Apparently the Bulldogs had lost some steam because Billings completely rout- ed them to the tune of a 57-31 pounding. State Tournament—Broncs Win Second Place Billings was the Mecca of Montana sport fans. For this championship tournament held here promised to be one of the best ever. No one dared venture what team might win since any of the squads was capable of pulling an upset. Broncs entered the tourney with a 50.3 offen- sive average from divisional tourney against a 40-point defensive average for the widest spread of any team entered. Missoula boast- ed the best offensive average while Kalispell and Glasgow were rated as top contenders by virtue of winning the tough northern divisional tournament. Paired with Kalispell in first round play, the underdog Broncs displayed some of their best all-around form of the year. Lester Heins scored 22 points in leading the Broncs to their 52-46 victory. Fiction writers would have to go a long way before finding a wilder hair-raiser than the Bronc-Havre struggle. Battling back and forth all the way, the score was tied 47-all with 15 seconds remaining. Angelo Pizzini, Havre forward, toed the line for two free throws, either of which would win the game. But he missed both and in the two overtimes following, the outcome was in doubt until Don Vladic scored a long shot from mid-floor to win a sudden period and the game. That left Billings in the championship game with Missoula, winner over Glasgow and Miles City. Following Kalispell's 64-46 victory over Havre in the consolation finals, the champion- ship game opened. Missoula's Spartans raced to a 30-19 half-time lead and pushed farther ahead, 54-36, at the third quarter. Broncs ral- lied for 20 points in the final period, but were too far behind. Missoula reigned as 1948-49 state champs via this 67-56 triumph, but sec- ond place seemed pretty good to the Broncs, who have had to come a long way since their slow start. Page One Hundred Twenty-one CldL 9L TApL Kyote Annual for another year has been completed and is providing entertainment for stu- dents who will look on it many times in future years and reminisce on its contents. This has been a year packed with excitement, thrills and memories. Another class graduates and time marches on. Did you ever stop to think what would happen or how you would feel if there were no An- nual published for one year? You'd miss it, probably complain to the principal or the people usually responsible for editing and getting the book ready for print. However, it is not only the people who put their talents to work to write the copy or take the pictures or draw the sketches that are responsible for the publication of an annual of high quality. It costs over $4,600 to put out this Annual. They sell for $3 apiece. That means that the ad- vertisers pay about 45 per cent of the annual's total cost. Without the spirited, whole-hearted support of the advertisers whose names appear in this book, it is obvious that an Annual would be an impossibility. We think it would be a good thing for you to show your appreciation for their help by patronizing our advertisers and letting them know that you saw their ads. Thank them for their help. This Annual will be read many, many times. It will be reread and browsed over in years to come. Last year judges on the Critical Service of the National Scholastic Press Association awarded the Kyote Annual the first class honor rating. This is the highest award the Annual has ever received. Its large circulation and excellent quality book make it a good advertising investment. We, the advertising staff, hope we have performed a valuable service to you. Thank you for your cooperation and support in putting out our Annual. Ad Manager: Pat McGinnis. Ad Staff: Jim Forney, Bill Gilbert, Helen Krone, Virginia Smith, Estelle Strong.

This he politely refused, saying that it might be devoted to some charitable purpose. Would you mind, asked the secretary, if we add it to our special fund? Not at all, said Jim. What is the special fund for? To enable us to get better lecturers next year. There are a lot of foolish men in this world.

The cargo's stowed and ready, for come dawn were going to sail, And we won't put in at this port any more. We're casting off our moorings and we're nosing out to sea. The waters will be new ones and we'll sail them differently. Each ship will take a separate course and never more will we Be putting in at this port as before. Yes, we'll hail and salute when at sea we chance to meet. We'll draw ourselves together but it won't be quite complete, For it's not the same old high school sea or same old high school fleet As was in the dear old home port years before. Aye, the sails are trimmed and ready, she's in shape from stem to stern. The sea is calling to us and our seamen's hearts do yearn. Adventure lies before us—but our souls with- in us bum, For we won't be putting in here any more. —Lynn Urion. Go in Comfort...
