O ,w 1 ui Junior High School 0 mn.-. .L-W, The senior class of Box Elder High School dedicate their year book to Edrea hilliamson who for all too short a time was one of our classmates. Death took hdrea, but her spirit and courage will go on for a long time. How eager and friendly she was even when it was not easy for her to smile or to participate. he shall long remember her as a fine, inspiring person who lived with a zestfulness that we shall try to remember when we think that we have occasion to gripe or complain. if-pi.. Democracy and education are supposed to be synonymous and their Latin origins merely mean that people govern themselves and lead their culture and civilization into a bright and peaceful future. Box Elder Public School is only one of tens of thousands of schools. Yet it has striven to teach young Americans to be self- reliant, to respect the rights of others, to be tolerant of our fellowman and to remember that all men are created equal. It is supposed by some that small schools are at a disadvan- tage concerning curriculum, but the honest intent and determina- tion of the student measure the true worth of anyone's success. This yearbook reflects the guided efforts of B. E. H. S. seniors to produce a worthwhile record of those activities that happened in our school. A good school is the sum total of honest cooperation on the part of faculty, students, and community. We feel that our school has excellent morale, happy and disciplined students, and an alert and well-informed faculty. Our community has usually ex- pressed a concerned regard for the welfare of its pupils and its school.

As we entered high school as green freshmen, we were happy to know that two new students had joined us. They were Norda Jones and David Belcourt, but later David left us. We were initiated and a mixer was given afterward in our honor. The next year we gained three new members, Bob Pullin, Jack B ownell, and B ian McBride, but lost Jack later. We initiated the freshmen that year and gave a few mixers. During our junior year we were again down to four members for we lost Bob Pullin, Brian McBride and Norda Jones. We sponsored a 'Thanksgiving dance and a St, Patrick's dance the first part of the year. In the spring we gave the Junior Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet, which were both huge successes. Now, as seniors, the same four students who graduated from the eighth grade together are all looking forward to the activities of this year which are Senior Sneak Day, Junior Pr m, Junior-Senior Banquet, and Commencement Ever- cises. --by Agnes Stewart Class Colors ----- Blue Q Silver Class Flower ------- Red Rose Class Motto-Bl, B , Bt but never B . Beverly Agnes We, the senior class of Box Elderniiigh School, being of excel- lent health physically and mentally, except when under the stress of hard study, do hereby bequeath the following possessions and worldly goodsz, Our ability to go to school and have a good time simultaneously to the undergraduates. To the faculty we bequeath the steady patience we have had with them, that they may have it with future classes. To the freshmen we bequeath our ability to conduct ourselves in a quiet, studious manner. To the sophomores we bequeath all our gum and candy wrappers and our ability to improve our study habits. To the juniors we bequeath any equipment we haven't broken or ruined and can't use elsewhere, also our seats by the windows which are inducive to spring fever and winter colds. I, Clement Hobbs, bequeath my energy to Bessie Flansburg QRe- lax, Bessiel and my angelic nature to Jimmie Stewart. Not every- one can be Wnot guilty.W I, Beverly Prather, bequeath my ability to chew gum in front of the teachers to Clara Faechner and my dancing ability to Dick Corcoran. WTry and dance sometime, Dickie.W I, Agnes Stewart, bequeath my happy outlook on life to Olive Parisian Ksmile, Olivel and my geometry equipment to Bert Williamson. I, Laura Williamson, bequeath some of my height to George Rosette, lif he can use it! and my typing speed to Bud Hoffman. In class l96O I decided that because lO years had passed since the of 1950 of the Box Elder High School had been graduated there should be a reunion, and what was a better place than Miami Beach Florida? So, I wrote to my fellow students of 1950. I took my vacation at this time where I was a secretary to the Don Juan of the year in Upon my arrival the arrival of the bell hop brought me and would soon come Hollywood. at Miami, I went down to the beach to await other three. I had not long to wait, for a a message that Clement Hobbs was at the hotel down to the beach. Clement, I found, had be- come the most wealthy land owner in the Northwest, owning huge expanses of land in Montana. As we were talking, Beverly Prather stepped up and spoke to us. She had just arrived when Laura Williamson walked up as small in stature as ever. Beverly, who had always been interested in adventure, had become an ambassador to Algeria. She said her work was very interesting and had been made possible because of her high school French course. Laura was now in St. Louis, where she had gone after graduating from high school. She had taken a course in blood technology and was now in charge of a huge labor- atory in that city. After getting acquainted again we went out to a delicious dinner. --by Agnes Stewart .545 , + v 1 I TYPING classroom show- ing, left to right: Bonnie Hobbs, Ruth Hobbs, Olive Parisian, Anna Parker, Bud Hoffman, Bert Williamson, Miss Kamerzell, teacher, and Diane Allen GEOMETRICAL cake com- posed of a square, circle, and triangle baked and decorated by: Bonnie Hobbs, Agnes Stewart, Bev- erly Prather, Olive Pari- sian, Ruth Hobbs, Laura Williamson.

There wasn't much activity that year except for initiation, where fun was had by all. As we entered our sophomore year, we had six new students, which brought the total to twelve. The new students were Violet Morsette, Kay Hepworth, Anna Parker, Bud Hoffman, Diane Allen and Olive Parisian. But, consequently, Violet dropped out before the end of the year, leaving eleven sophomores to keep going. We had the usual joy of initiating the flock of new, green freshmen. Our prides in the basketball category were Bert Williamson and George Rosette, who helped us win many a tough game. We had very little activity in l9b8 and l9h9, except for the sponsoring of a few mixers. We smilingly entered our junior year and are whole-heartedly enjoying it, although we are constantly busy. All the girls have joined the Glee Club and Pep Club. Our class is slightly smaller now, Martha Beck, Kay Hepworth, and Kristin Smith have left us. Our activities for the year consist of sponsoring the Thanksgiv- ing dance, the St. Patrick's dance, the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Junior Prom, which will be held sometime in the spring of the year. We won't be feeling sorry for our money while sponsoring the banquet since the senior class is quite adequate for our bud- get, consisting of only four. We are breathlessly waiting for our sparkling senior year when the now sophomores will have to sponsor the Junior-Senior Banquet. We hope we don't hurt their bank roll too much. After all, there are only nine of us! .

The six sophomores who started together at the beginning of the year were Pat Burnside, Mary Agnes Gardipee, Clara Faechner, Charles Rosette, Burke Allen and Johnny Corcoran. Mary Agnes left us a few weeks after school began and Pat left us about two months after school started. It looks as if there will always be just four of us through our sen- ior year. Clara has joined the Glee Club, Pep club and tumbling class. Charles and Johnny are on the main string of the basket- ball team and deserve the pride of the whole class.

This is the first time in a number of years. When the girls' tumbling class put on an act at a ball game. when the school bought a new score board, which is one of the most modern ones in this vicinity. When Miss Kamerzell -had a tire blowout on her way to the tournament in Hingham and Anna Freier had the door open ready to jump out. when the consumer economics class and senior class went through the U E I Sugar Beet Factory in Chinook.

The first few weeks were easy, but soon we learned that high school was a place to study and to form good study habits. In November Judy Burnside returned to Wisconsin. The freshmen didn't mind the initiation so much as the sopho- mores expected them to, but they probably have a severe aversion to green cake coloring now. The time will come, though, when they can take their spite out on another group of freshmen. We have two boys on the basketball team, Dickie Corcoran and Donald Freier. We hope they make us proud of them, and the other boys can join them next year. fm President -------- -------- Maureen Smith gp 2 Vice President ---------- Bessie Flansburg SGC: TPSHS. ------------- ---Doris Johnson Advisor ------- ---Mrs .

HONOR STUDENTS OF THE YEAR There are those students in each school whose scholastic abil- ity and acheivements have put them in a class by themselves, or whose perseverance has brought them through to school every day in spite of the obstacle of weather put in their path by nature. In the 1950 graduating class those outstanding scholastically are Beverly Prather, the valedictorian, and Agnes Stewart, the salutatorian. The students whose names appeared on the honor roll this year were Beverly Prather, Agnes Stewart, Laura Williamson, Diane Allen, Bonnie Hobbs, Ruth Hobbs, Olive Parisian, Doris Johnson, Bert Williamson, and Burke Allen. Those students who had perfect attendance, or were kept away from school for only one day by sickness this year were Agnes Stewart, Bonnie Hobbs, Ruth Hobbs, Clement Hobbs, and James Stew- art. CARNIVAL The Annual high School Carnival was held again this year on October l, l9h9. It is given to raise money to pay for various school activities and this year the money was used to pay for the new score board and a new tumbling mat for the girls' tumbling class. There were additional booths this year because there were more students to operate them. They were all attractively decor- ated with crepe paper by each of the students who operated them. Bingo was the-biggest attraction with the best prizes. There were also many good prizes for the other booths. Refreshments were served throughout the evening. Laura Williamson The crowning of the queen at 11:30 was the high point of the event. The candidates were chosen from each class by their fellow students. Those elected ' were as follows: Freshman, Bessie Flans- R T Carnival Queen burgg Sophomore, Pat Burnside, Junior, A ar.,' a A Olive Parisian, and Senior, Laura Wil- :gf A liamson. Laura Williamson, who was e- lected queen, was crowned by Olive Pari- VM sian and Bessie Flansburg pinned on her corsage. These two tied for runner-up. Dancing followed the crowning of the The carnival was a bigger success, financially, this year than in previous years. W as A queen. ggi ,ggi 5 i A ' .fmmtd Yi. A ' ' . .

This is the best way for the school to get publicity and for the students to be able to express themselves. It is also a way to let our parents and other schools know what is going on in our school and a method of advertising our school events. For the past four years the Bear Paw has been given super- ror rating, which every class strives to attain or possibly to surpass. gywflfwfb f Back row: Bert Williamson, George Rosette, Diane Allen, Bonnie Hobbs.

This is the second year it has been published for several years, since before World Mar II. After we have had the experience of seeing the seniors pub- lish one last year, we have the chance to profit by their mistakes and we hope that the senior classes to follow us will keep up the tradition and publish an annual every year.

Music was furnished by the Harmonaires. The theme, Star Light, was very effectively carried out with blue crepe paper and aluminum foil. The crepe paper streamers went from the main light, which was decorated to look like the moon, to the walls. The windows were decor- ated with blue paper with stars on them. The stage was dec- orated to represent an old fashioned garden with flowers blooming behind a stone wall. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET Another outstanding event of the year was the Junior-Senior Banquet which was held in May. The dinner, which was given in Havre, was attended by the jun- ior and senior class members and their advisors. Following the dinner the group was treated to a movie by the junior class.

HIGH POINTS OF THE YEAR AT BOX ELDER HIGH SCHOOL Jimmy Stewart and Laura Williamson won a trip to Bozeman for their A-H work.

Cheerleaders: Beverly Prather, Agnes Stewart, Laura Williamson. The pep club was organized again this year with all the high school girls as members. A meeting was held in October to elect officers and cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are Agnes Stewart, Laura Williamson and Beverly Prather. Bonnie Hobbs was elected president, Diane Allen, vice president, and Ruth Hobbs, secretary-treasurer. The cheerleaders wore the same blue skirts as last year but made gold blouses to complete the school color scheme. Their blue hats with Box Elder written on the brim in gold, and white moccasin shoes were added to finish the snappy costumes. Students have yelled at all the home games, most of the games out of town and all the tournament games in which the Bears played. A dance was given on February ll to pay for trips for all the club members who wanted to go to the tournament, making this another successful year for the pep club. YHVLFQ 3 Ah u.

The Box Elder High School basketball team ended its 'AQ- 'SO basketball season March 4 at the Class C District Tourna- ment . During the season they have played twenty-four games, win- ning sixteen and losing eight. Under the coaching of Mr. Thomas Corbett, the Bears have made a fairly good showing with a little more action than they had last year. In con- test, the Bears scored 969 points to their opponents' 8u8 points. High scorer for the season was George Rosette with 406 points, highest free throw percentage was held by Johnny Corcoran who made 52 per cent. The Bears would like to thank the town people for attendance at ball games, and for the encouragement them by the cheering section. Also, they would like to Mr. Fouarge for heating the gym and always having hot ready for showers.

Among them was the or- ganization of a tumbling team. The girls performed during the half of one basketball game, but were unable to give similar ex- hibitions because of the lack of heating facilities. The different seasonal sports have been basketball, volley ball, softball, and a short period of dancing. The school bought an additional tumbling mat which suffici- ently increased the tumbling area. fic,W gg? xxx 1 c 535 N ' iii' Q S is ,il ADVERTISING E X vi' 3,3 5 3 3 3 3.8 S 3 S S S S 3 5 5 S 5 3 3 5 S 3 S S 3 S S 3 8 S 3 3- .5 For good service and entertainment, 5 PASTIME BAR ' Z sToP AT THE-- E ' AND :REAR PAW Hom. on CWB . 5 b 8 3 Leonagd Johnson 1 wner ' S 3 3 3 Proprietor--Ben Winther 3 Best of Entertainment 4 3 Box Elder, Montana I Shuffle Board 4 ' 3 5 S S 3 3 S 3 S 5 S S 9 3 3 3 5 3 3 S S 3 S S 8 S 3 3 3 W 3 3 5 5 3 5 5 WEB BRIGGS 5 1 0 f SERVICE 35 perator 0 3' by experts 4 6 GENERAL MILLS S 4 5 ELEVATOR 5 PRATHERS'WEl.DlNG 4 if 5 AND REPAl R 4 3 And S 1 S Distributor of 3 Welding Is Our Business' 1 5 CONOCO PRODUCTS S 9 g Box Elder, Montana 3 Box Elder, Montana Q 3 3 S 3 9 S 3 5 8 S 3 3 3 5 3 9 3 3 3 3 3 S 3 3 S 3 S 3 3 3 3 S S S 3 3 5 1 g 3 CONGRATULATIONS 5 3 CUWAN AND SON 5 to the 1950 3 S S GRADUATING CLASS Q 5 Ggocegles 5 I bf 5 Digging 5 BQUTH S 3 Fuel Oil 5 Hardware S 1 And OTZUGFS Box Elder, Montana I 3 5 i S 3 3 6.3 S 8 8 5 S 8,S fVS,S 8 S S S 3 www:sslssswwwostwi wewwwewewwswwvwwwswws 3 CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATES 3 OF 1950 S 3 CARSSOW'S S CONFECTIONERY 3 V Confectionery 3 Entertainment T Lunches Y Camera supplies ii 8 8 6 S E S S U v 3 5 3 U S S 3 U 5 Q N 3 HIAY CENTER INN 3 Box Elder, Mont. 5 Meals - Short Orders S Fried Chicken - Steak Dinners 3 S Congratulations to the S Class of 1950 Howard E Edna Halcro 8 3.3 U S 8 3 S S S 5 S 3 6 3,3 S S S S lx S :woN1A,N 3 NLATIONAIL BANK 6 OF HAVRE S The Pioneer Bank S 32 Years of CONTINUOUS Service Q to Northern Montana 3 Member Federal Deposit 3 Insurance Corporation BARBER SHOP Box Elder, Montana Dan Bitz, Proprietor OPEN WINTER MONTHS 3 3 S S S 3 3 U 3 S 3 S 3 5 3 5 C.A .EDEUTSC HMAN WATCHMAKER and JEWELER Watch repairing a specialty Big Sandy, Montana 'S S U S S U 5 SESS? w U 6 V 3 S CONGRATULATIONS Graduating Class of 1950 from WYOUR FAVORITE REPAIRMANW Sponsored by VALLEY MOTOR SUPPLY COMPANY Havre, Montana W U 5 U 6 S 3 S 5 U 3 3 3 S 8 3 BEI-I-AND'S FURNITURE CO.
