Buffalo High School - Buffalo Yearbook (Buffalo, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1925 volume:

I In order to show our high regard for PRINCIPAL C. R. MATTILL both as our teacher and friend We, the class of 1925 gratefully dedicate this book Just a wore of explanation to the readers of the 1925 An- nual. Heretofore this volume has been known as The Ante- lope. Hereafter it will appear as The Buffalo in order that this name shall be in keeping with the name of our school and our school paper. We, the class of 1925 present this annual with the hope that it will bring pleas- ure and happy memories to the present and old students of Buffalo High. I c 3 oOo oOo o o oOo oOo o Swiftly the fleeting years are passing on. The grim, relentless pendulum of Time swings on in its never ceasing sway The coming of another June tide marks The going of another class from these, Our High School portals. Now the time - Has come when we must bid farewell to stu- dents work and welcome all the greater - Tasks of life. Dear Friends, in this annual, Vie show thee a passing glimpse of what our Class has done, a category of our work and Play, a history, and yet behind it all, a Picture of the entire living school. o oOo oOo o .5 0 E.C. oOo ---------oOo o l r 4!

While it may have been a year present- ing its problems, arduous duties and extended tasks; while the progress of the school might have been delayed somewhat by an entirely new corps of teachers, yet nevertheless at this time we feel that all of our efforts have had their justification in the minds of the patrons and friends of the school who have so loyally supported the policies as outlined and pursued by the teaching personell. Of course the journey has been attended by an occasional blow-out or puncture--undoubtedly some mistakes have been made, but the delays along the road and the impediments in the pathway of duty have sharpened our wits, and keyed us to the estab- lishment of an even more aggressive policy for another year. If, as we have many reasons to believe, the efforts of both teachers and pupils in our schools have met with a measure of success, who but the individuals of this entire community should share in that attainment? Certainly these results were not attainable without the sympathetic cooper- ation of an undivided host of loyal friends and supporters. To attempt to outline at this time the scope of our plans for the year just past is neither the spirit of this brief statement nor the place to say it; to say that plans are already in the making to carry us as a school into fields of endeavor and usefulness far beyond the horizon we are now permitted to view, would be more in keeping with our sincerest desires and the spirit of these words. To re- affirm our pledge to a continued and unstinted service tho the tasks pilo high and the days he long, to express an ab- iding faith in the noble youth of our community and to be- speak for the school and its instructors a continuation of that loyalty which has so beautifully characterized your deeds and actions in the year now a fact in local history, will we believe, project us all far on the way that leads to success.

This ship was headed for a far distant land called the Land of Graduation, .which could be reached only after a long voy- age of four years over this much trav- eled, but to them, unknown sea. There were four isles-----Freshmen; Sophomore, or the Land of Wise Fools; Junior and Senior, or the Land of the Owls-----to be thoroughly explored before reaching this Promised Land. On board the ship there were thirteen voyagers, called Freshmen, each firmly re- solved to succeed or go down with the ship. The first pert reached was Freshman Isle. Here many were so enchanted by the charms in and about it, that they were loath to depart, and even took no heed of the ship when it finally sailed away. So they had to be left behind to be pick- ed up by some other fleet,at the cost of arriving at the Promised Land a year later. On Freshman Isle a terrible po- litical battle took place. Am certain red-haired cannibal Joined the new- comers and threatened to eat them a- live, so they elected her rular of the tribe and there- after all trouble of violent nature subsided. Occasionally, however, a big social blowout shattered the peace and tranquil- ity on and about the island, Especially Hazel Avery's party will be remembered as the affair of the season. Everyone will remember Hazel's beautiful gown on 'that occasion. Luring the year other forms of 15 dissipation were indulged in� Nothing regarding this will he disclosed here, however,, N After an enjoyable year the Freshmen for the next port, the Isle of Wise Fools. Isle they felt their heads begin to swall selves very wise indeed. Upon landing they found that they were no longer Freshmen, hut Sophomores, much like those they had met the year before , hut much wiser. Everything was quite dif- ferent from Freshman Isle, Part of their food was changed; they now had ge ometry in place of algebra, heside many other rearrangements of the menu, and though most of their number relished the change exceedingly, a few were heard to lament for the more easily di- gested fare of Freshman Isle. took their departure As they neared this , and thought them- It was upon this Isle that they found Caesar's bridge, of which they had heard so much, but sad to relate, they found glued to it several poor belated strangers, remnants of the preceeding Sophomore class, gazing longingly into the Sea of Knowledge, des- perately desiring to throw themselves head long into its enveloping shoals and he im- mersed therin. However, this fear proved to he impossible for these poor wretches as each time they would try to sink themselves in Knowledge, they discovered they could go no further than their own depth. Before leaving the Isle, these kind and bril- liant Sophomores rescued the poor prisoners from the bridge, and took them within their own ship to travel with them to the next port. On the Isle of Wise Fools, into the limelight came forth three silver tongued orators—Theodore Hardy, Madge Coppock Laura Belle Cordon. Hazel Avery, the best scrapper in the class was put on the debat- ing team and in the name of the Sophomore class, she met enemies from the Isle of the Owls and Junior Isle. After a most happy year on the Isle of Wise Fools the voyage was resumed, and on a lovely September mom, the voyagers 14 sighted Junior Isle. As soon as some landed, the horrible (form of Scylla loomed up in the distance jcrying out physics formulae ------- and jsnatched up several poor unsuspecting |Juniors.

This volume of the annual tells the story most com- pletely. At the end of this year they found that Senior Isle was the stepping off place into the vast territory of the Promised Land. The stepping off place was called Grad- uation, and a great concourse of people met to watch them take this short Journey. And now the four long years have passed; the Freshmen of 1921 are the Sen- iors of 1925. They have had many exper- iences during their voyage, of which the enjoyable ones far outweigh the unpleas- ant ones. As the Seniors scan the horizon from the stepping-stone of Graduation, they see many conquests to be made, and in the future, as In the past, they will show themselves ready for any test that may be put them. 7 7. they believe that SL S Z) In spite of the easy access of statistics, there are many items of interest about this class that have never been brought to light. Therefore, by a system of our own, we have succeeded, in collecting these items to put on record for future reference. A class so illustrious as this class of 1925 cannot fail to be an p-xample of intelligence, industry and general good behavior fo those following. A list of questions was given to each member of the class to answer and this report was prepared from the answers. Therefore, I am not responsible for any facts disclosed here. The report is as follows: Class enrollment----5(4 girls and one boy) Average age--------18 Average height-----5' 5'1 Average weight-----150 lbs. (E.C. responsible) ANCESTRY In order to understand the unusual brilliancy of this class, mention must be made of our ancestors. As a class, we recognize Adam and Eve among our first. Other noted ances- tors are Napoleon, Lincoln, Jesse James, St. Patrick, Vir- ginia Dare, and the Emperor of Germany, George Spurgeon claims Caesar as one of his remote grandfathers, which no doubt accounts for his skill in translating his Latin, Some trace their ancestry to Ireland, some to the Teutonia Inva- sion and others to the bug house at Miles City, Marie Wernli having lost track of her family tree oan trace her ancestry only as far as Judith Gap. All realize, however, that if the missing links were supplied, our ancestry could he traced back to the Ionian Race of the Jungles. SOCIETIES AND CLUBS The highbrow organizations in this institution are: Hot Dawg Dozen, Karolina Koon Kluh, Live Wires, Cyclones, and the T.N.T. Madge Coppock, Marie Wernli, and George Spurgeon are members of the Hot Dawg Dozen; Hazel Avery and Esther Cromer belong to the Karolina Koon Kluh; Esther, George, Madge and Hazel are Cyclones and Marie is a Live Wire; all are charter members of the secret society, T.N.T. George also belongs to the United Brotherhood of Loafers.” This organization, how- ever, is not quite as ritzy as our others. 18 GENERAL STATISTICS (determined by votes of the high school) 1. Class heauty—Madge Coppook By voting for herself, Marie Wernli received the next highest 2. The laziest—'Marie Wernli 3. The greatest social light—Madge Coppock 4.

Swiftest on Typewriter—Madge Coppock ATHLETICS The members of the class of 25 have taken an active in- terest in athletics this year, Esther went in heavy for bas- ket ball; Marie and Hazel bite their finger nails and Madge chews V rigley Spearmint. George took to the saxophone this winter. EDUCATION (1) Reasons for attending H.S, namely; to get out of work at home; to have a good time; to study geometry; parental per- suasion; and for the benefit of the school. Sad to say; there is one boy in the class who donTt know yet why he attended B,H. S. (2) Our hardest studies are: Latin, English, Sociology, typewriting and shorthand. We re- commend that the Board of Education do away with all these branches and put in thoir place, Grecian dancing, rules of etiqutte, cross word puzzles and modern drama, and Philosophy (of love by Eleanor Giynn) MUSIC AND LITERATURE Someone made a wise crack once upon a time that a persons character may be determined by one’s taste in literature and music. We do not believe this to be true for in gathering our statistics we’ve picked up the following: Name Favorite piece of lit erature Favorite Song Esther Cromer So Big Take, Oh, Take Those Lips Away. George Spurgeon Peter Rabbit Stories Jesus Wants Me For a Sunbeam. Madge Coppock Flaming Youth Yankee Doodle. Hazel Avery Whiz Bang Last Night On The Back Porch. Marie Wernli Smart Set The'Bulldog On The Bank. FUTURE OCCUPATIONS Everyone must plan for the future and I find that each one of the class has thotfully chosen his future course. Marie expects to startle the world as a ballot dancer; Hazel Avery hopes to be an old Maid school teacher; Esther Cromer thinks she will join the movies and star as a niggsr mammy; Madge expects to be a genius along some lino--doesn’t make much difference which; George hopes to run a little peanut stand all of his own some day. Limited time and space prevents me from giving you any more facts in regard to this class. Considering our many ster- ling qualities, our success is quite assured, and each one bids fair to carve for himself a splendid future. And when our history has become a milestone in the history of Buffalo High School may the future classes follow our example and leave behind as good a record. 20 Zl Ida Belle Grissom, Blondy Class Sect, h Tres.

In case you are among those who are as yet uneducated in this respect give us your attention while we proceed to elucidate. Per- haps you are acquainted with some of the Juniors after a fashion hut let us familiarize you with their points. Let us take them, like rare figures in an art exhibit, one at a time,' beauty before age—I beg pardon—■I mean alphab e t i c ally; The old saying that precious things come in small packages is not true in the case of Ida Belle Crissom. She has not been with the Junior Class until this year, she attended Montana Wesleyan in 1923 and then Puyallup Washington in ’24, but she has proved to be a loyal Class- member throughout tho year. She has won the coveted B in athletics and has taken part in the social activities of the school as well as maintaining her scholastic stand- ing. The school is indebted to her for a real live thrill occasioned by her appearing one morning in assembly, shorn of her golden tresses. Long, loan, lanky, big-hearted, independent, a good sport, that in brief, is Dorothy. Whenever there is a gang or crowd out for a good time you’ll find Dorothy in the midst of things. Her favorite pastime, however, is scrapping with Bud in assembly. She has spent all of tho three years in B. H. S. and last year she represented the school at Missoula in tho Declamatory contest. She is also one of the letter members of the girls' basket ball team. Next comes tho president of the class—-Kelly-—cowboy student orator—capable of managing anything from a buck- ing horse to a dignified banquet--hc is the man in whom the Juniors willingly place all their trust as a leader (not that they have any bucking horses in their number.) 23 His Freshman year was spent in vthe--H. -S. at Harlcwtown, hut he has been a member of our class for these past two years. Both years he has talien an active interest in athletics, and is a wearer of the B . He played with B. H. S. basket ball team at tournament this year and was also a student representative at the Vocational Con- ference at Bozeman in February. He is editor-in-chief of the H. S. paper, the Booster. Besides all these ac- tivities Kelly took a leading part in the play presented by the class of 25. Zat so? 'Well ya gotta prove it. ------Enter Milton Olson, in other words Swede . If all H. S’s must have their shieks--he,s ours. True to the traditions of the class of '26 Swede wears a great big blue B --------- and he has certainly earned it by his three years work in basket ball and track. He was Captain of the basketball team this year, played in tournament at Lewistown, and was representative at the Vocational Conference at Boze- man in February. How for the prodigal son, who by the way came back before the fatted calf was fatted. Bud, who has been with us all these three years is an absolutely essential part of the Junior Class. As an antidote for the blues Bud takes the cut-glass bath-robe. He's right there with his everlasting schemes and plans for personal and class advancement, and now and them he favors us especially with his hearty Haw I Hawi He has played on the basket ball team three years and has won his B. These, without frills or embellishments, are the facts concerning the Junior Class. You may have noticed from ¥ hat has been said above that the Junior Class is the only class of the school in which every member wears an athletic letter. Also at the track meet at Lewistown in which Buffalo took third place, and the two entrants were Juniors; one of these, Bernard Ristine vron first place in pole vault and discus throws. This is, surely, sufficient proof without need of further evidence that the Juniors are by far the strongest and best class of B. H, S.- One more point to be added to the glory of the Juniors: Miss Helen Bagby, the class sponsor. 2 4 Miss Bagby Raymond Kelly Wha}' Oil T gX U. Nt Mr (1) WILLIS NOEL Basketball K.K.K.

Olson and Ristine played during the two previous seasons. Reimers, Barrows, Riggs, L. Olson, and W. Noel were all new men this year but proved satisfactory in every respect. Inasmuch as we have a small high school it makes it less difficult to pick out the best. Immediately after the team was picked, work began, with the boys learning a new style of play. By the middle of December the boys were ready to put into practioe some of their knowledge of basketball. Milton Olson, years old, 5 ft, 8 141 lbs. Captain Swede has played on years. This, how- year.

At no time did he sacrifice team work for in- dividual playing and this was one of the factors that counted so heavily in his success. With two years yet to play, any 4 predictions may fail to tell of Ms phenomenal success on the hasketball floor. Raymond Kelly. Kelly '26. 16 years old. 5 ft, 9 in, high. Weight 145 lbs. Left guard. His first year as a x eal player. Altho handicapped somewhat by illness early in the basketball season, Kelly pulled through with flying colors and finished up in whirl wind style. His determination and fighting spirit tided the team over many a tight place and due to those qualities he held the complete confidence of the five. Laurence Barrows. Jake ’28. 17 years old, 5 ft. 11-f- in. high. Weight 157 lbs. Center. Altho only a Freshman Jake was right on the Job at all times. Due to his extreme height he was at all times able to get the tip off. Each practice and game gave him more ability as an athlete. With no exception can it be said his playing was not clean. Through his ability to get the ball and put it where it be- longed he gets the cheers of the Blue and White. —SUBS — Lester Olson, Ray Riggs and Willis Noel were subs. Ray Riggs sub for Kelly, Lester Olson sub for Bud. Each had the opportunity of playing several games a piece. Since Kelly was unable to play due to sickness, Bud craving adventure and excitement, left B. H. S. for a month but decided ’there's no place like home', so he returned. Willis was not so fortun- ate because the rest of the five didn’t need subs for such a lengthy period. 42 GIRLS' BASKETBALL The 1924-’25 basket hall season has been an especial- ly interesting one. This is the first time Buffalo has ever had a girls team. The season was peppy and hope ran high. Altho the girls had little experience they stood up and faught to win. They had but one victory, but several games were close and they were highly praised for their good playing and grit. The line up was as follows: Dorothy Hart, center, Madge Coppock, foreward, Hope Ristine, guard, Marie Wernli, Guard, Ida Belle Grissom, sub., Gladys Oliver, sub. Dorothy Hart Dot (Center) Age 17---Height 51 8 —Wt. 135 Dorothy played well and stuck to her team. She played fast and hard thru- out the season. Due to her height she caught the ball many times when it passed over the heads of her fellow-players. Marie Wernli (Guard) Height e gles 160----Age Marie is member on that ever Sweet Marie 5? 8 --—Wt. 18. the only the team played Coppock Gig- (Foreward) Age 16—Height 5T — Weight 140. Madge played steadily through the season and with her deter- mination to win at any cost she helped her team out of Hope Ristine (Guard previous with Moore before this season. She was quick and steady in her play- ing. Marie was al- ways sure to get the ball and keep it when she got it. Altho she kept a good standing in all the games she out did all her work at the game at Moore, many a tight place. Ethel Galey (Foreward) Age 17 Height 51-------Weight 126. Ethel was a regular shark at making baskets. She was quick and she made a basket at every try. She especially starred in the games with Moore at Moore and Gap at Buffalo, and Hobson at Buffalo. A q 15 Weight 118-----Height 5l° 3 . Hope though small did an ex- cellent job of guarding. She seemed to be everywhere Altho small she made up in speed what she lacked in size. She worked hard all season. She did especially good work when we played Hobson at Buffalo. 43 Ida Belle Grissom (Sub) Age 18------Weight 154—Height 5 8r Ida Belle played sub on the teams. Due to her height and untiring strength she equaled the regiilars in good work. She did especially good work when Gap played at Buffalo She went in for the last three quarters as center and did justice to herself and team. Gladys Oliver----Age 15---Weight 157------Height 51 1 Gladys also subed. She took the place of the guard and did justice to the position. She played hard, and kept her oponent wondering what she was going to do and where she would be next. Helen Bagby (Coach) 'We certainly have a coach to be proud of. And we canrt express in words what we think of her. She drilled week after week on passes, tipp off, etc. and was satisfied at last when the girls won their victory over Hobson. Miss Bagby had unlimited patience with the girls and passed on to them her experience she had'received in basketball playing in high school and college.

Considered from a number of angles it was with- al rather a bold venture, no- thing like it in the form of a student publication had ever been attempted before; no blazed trails to guide; no working manual upholding the traditions of the school in this way, at hand; and a ngreen,T crew called on to per- form! What could be expected from a high school with a small enrollment when some of the larger schools of the state were struggling to keep their heads above water in the journ- alistic field? Who should or- ganize the subscription cam- paign? Who would carry it thru? VJho could be relied on after the first flush of en- thusiasm had subsided to stay by the ship—sink or swim? Who would bear the ex jensei incident to the publishing such a paper v hen it appeared that a monstrous printing bill would stare the staff in the face after each is- sue . The problems, tho appearing, more complicated than a cross word puzzle were speedily solved with the exception of the last one. Then it became apparent that our fond weakling would die a premature death, for the sub- scription from a limited list of possible subscribers at an ordin- ary school rate would never be sufficient unless the printer could be outwitted at his ovm game. This we say was rather bold, considering the fact that printers are wise and students are just learning to be. The Principal took the mat- ter up with the school board and made a proposal to them that if a valuable piece of equipment----much needed in the commercial depart- ment could be secured he felt the students could make the school paper dream an actual reality. The board consented--a mimeograph was secured. TEE BUFFALO BOOSTER Not a student in the Com- mercial Department had ever seen a mimeograph: none could tell a stencil from the whis- kers of a whooslepiff or the tail of a geewatacus ; but the Buffalo High was determined to have a school paper! Determination backed up by that indomitable spirit whioh only the young possess and in only such generous quantities as the Buffalo students dis- played, won the day, and since the first issue of volume one appeared no interruption has held up a single issue. So much for that--but now to be more specif- ic! Who is really pub - lishing The Booster?----- Yes, there is an editorial staff---the whole school con- tributes- ——even the fresh- men finally learned how to fold the sheets that were used but the blunt of the whole job fell to the Seniors and right here let us be even more specific than ever before, None could tell you quite as much about issuing the Bo- oster as' Miss Alma Rice who has had direct charge of the work during the entire year and we rather suspect that before some of the Seniors had gained en- ough skill to cut a respectable looking stencil she was editor, printer, business manager and all the crew besides. But thru her painstaking efforts they were gradually trained until some have indeed become expert in this xvork. To Miss Rioe the school and community, the al- umni and friends all owe a debt of gratitude for the capable way in which her skill in this field has been applied not only in the work she has done but in the way she has imparted this skill to those most closely as- sociated with her. Among the students who have been towers of strength and assist- ance to Miss Rice were the individ- uals of this years grad- uating class Madge Coppocfc was perhaps one of the first these who learned the art of delivering the goods” on a mimeograph and with a faithfulness as consist- ent as her skill is fine (24 karat) she has stood by--never looking on, hut pitching in” doing her full share and more, with a spirit of cheerfulness in her every act. And next comes Hazel Avery. Everyone knows Hazel. Her word is as good as gold----her presence al- ways agreeable--her sense of humor refined with a great cap- acity for work. But these will not publish a school paper, so Hazel early learned the tech- nique of the composing room viz ---STAFF-- EDITOR-IN-CHIEF-----RAYMOND KELLY COMPOSING- MANAGER---MADGE COPPOCK SCHOOL NEWS-----IDA BELLE GRISSOM ADV. MANAGER-----LAURENCE BARROWS JOKE EDITOR---------—MARIE WERNLI LOCAL ITEMS-----------DOROTHY HART 'JO THE BUFFALO BOOSTER the mimeograph route and her skill in this work coupled to her other qualifications Just mentioned made the long drawn out hours of getting the Boost- er off the press on time pass only too rapidly. Next comes George Spurgeon-------the tech- nicalist of the technical, trouble shooter fas the ex- pert service men on the Bell Telephone System are called) engineer and again let it be said, chief technical service man in the composing room. George too has cut his share of stencils and sometimes perhaps has imagined he has cut the other fellows share for he sticks to the Job and sees it thru. His general attitude has been without blemish and his service to the school indespen- sable. Last but by no means least comes Esther Cromer. Her lot fell to that of assisting here, there and everywhere which she always did in a most earnest way, giving freely of extra time, always showing a remarkable fine school spirit. To give individual mention to all others who helped make the Booster a success would be going far beyond the limits of space alloted if that has not been done already. It would simply take in every student in the High School for all have contributed in some way with each issue. To all subscribers and friends who by their word of cheer and commendation have en- couraged us, to the advertisers who have so materially assisted us, the Principal wishes to take the opportunity to express the genuine appreciation of tne school for this whole hearted and unstinted patronage which we fell has made volume one of The Buffalo Booster an unqual- ified success and the found- ation stone of a live institut- ion in the school which will bear fruit in its season by perpetuating itself thru the coming school years. Charles R. Mattill The work done in the commer- cial department of the B.H.S. has taken on a new aspect dur- ing the past year. Added eq- uipment of a very useful sort has made this possible. Without the mimeograph the students could not have published the Booster, nor the Annual and during the winter when the students were appealing to the people for support at athletic contests the mimeograph was the First Aid man on the Job. In addition to this the high school students have made up forms and form blanks for the school, for business men in and around Buffalo and have mimeographed many circular letters for outsiders besides. As a concrete statement this might show how much was ac- tually done. Roughly 50,000 impressions have been made on the mimeograph this year, re- quiring that many sheets of paper of varying lengths or the equivalent of a strip of paper of letter head width and about ten miles in length. I During the school year, Buffalo High has offered to the com- munity some very interesting entertainments. One of the most out- standing, it will he remembered, took place on the evening of February 12, The following report is taken from the Booster. On Tuesday night of this week, the boys made a public report of the Conference to over 200 people who assembled in the I.O.O.F. Hall. Following these reports the high school students presented some entertainments less weighty, tho, of course, a great deal more comical. The first skit, Along Came Bud was staged hy a group of students under the direction of Miss Helen Bagby. It re- vealed some talent and well trained acting of sufficient merit to prove that there are those in Buffalo High who really can acquit themselves with credit on the stage. The following was the cast: William Brown, a stern Father------Victor Reimers Mrs. Brown, a regular Mother-------Marie Wernli June, the daughter-----------------Madge Coppock Dick, the hig brother--------------Nicholas Noel Bud, a real hoy--------------------Ray Riggs Billy Brooks, in love with June----Milton Olson The second preformance represented another group doing their stuff behind the burnt cork. The Karolina Koon Klub, under the direction of Miss Alma Rice, shook the rafters with their fun provoking laughter. The gold dust twins simply knocked Tem all over. The audience called them hack for more several times and they responded with verses of It ainTt gonna rain no mo. Ethel Galey and Hope Ristine turned to Scotch lassies for the evening and did the Highland Fling in a most artistic way, and to the genuine delight of the entire audience. McCABE WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (Feb. 23) The following report is clipped from a report in the Booster .....More community singing was enjoyed and a poem. The Hanging of the Crane, was then read hy Madge Coppock, Miss Evelyn Larson sang in her accustomed and artistic way, Perfect Day, Sweet Genevieve, and Silver Threads Among the Gold, charming the audience with the beauty of her voice and the sentiment of the songs. 54- Two acts staged by High school students followed. The first was directed by Miss Bagby and consisted of folk dances in costume —all of which, were heartily applauded while the three clown dan- cers were forced to respond a second time to the insistence of the audience. The last act of the two was directed by Miss Alma Rice, and featured the real, right and only Koon Klub in captivity. Sides were actually split by the Komical Kapers of the Kullaud brothers. Harold White, representing the grand duke of the chocolate world pleased everyone with his dialect solos. Everyone nearly died off when Aunt Jemimy (Esther Cromer) came out and danced a shin-dig. The cast of characters in the koon play was as follows: Rastus Johnson--------------------------------------Raymond Kelly Manda Johnson--------------------------------- Gladys Oliver Elder Jenkins-----------------------------------Laurence Barrows Mr. (Justus Squashseeds Blimps--------------------- Harold White Mrs. Bumps------------------------------------------- Alma Rice Mrs. Geo.

However practically all the members of the cast were high school students. Mr. Mattill directed with the assistance of Miss Edna Castlemen and Miss Evelyn Larson. The play scored a real hit and'will be remembered as one of the best enter- tainments of the year.

(Clipped from the Booster of Mar. 13, during German Measles epi- demic) If you wish to see an exhibit of fancy postures and contor- tions, Just walk into Buffalo High anytime of day when there's a good fire in the stove and the victims of this new type of measles are getting rather warm. If the prize was to be awarded to the best scratcher we think it should go to a certain Senior who manag- ed to scratch her back by wiggling against her chair, scratch her right knee with her right hand, and her left ankle with her right foot, while with her right hand she took notes on the class lecture. So far no one has been seriously sick with the measles and aside from the continuous acrobatic exhibitions, school is go- ing on the same as usual. TUG OP WAR 'Twas on Thursday, April 9, that the desperate Karolina Koons for want of excitement, challenged Helen's Dirty Dozen--pardon, I mean the Hot Dog Dozen, to a tug-of-war to be pulled off at the hour of 4 P. M. The H.D.D. accepted the challenge on condition that the battle field should be out across the creek, back of the school house---but after reflection they recalled the condition, for some of the dawgs feared they would get their paws wet. When four o'clock rolled around G.S. brought forth a big rope, a division line was drawn, and the hot pups and the coons faced each other, ready for a deadly battle. The signal Go was given and the tug was onli The struggle was a stiff one--hardly an inch was given on either side. Then slowly the Dawgs began to give in—then the ooons--finally, with one mighty effort, the Dawgs wonl It is rumored that during the heat of the battle, G. S. hitched the end of the rope to his car and stepped on the gas. DECLAMATORY CONTEST Saturday night, May I, in the I.O.O.F. Hall the annual declam- atory contest of the Buffalo High School was held. It proved to be a very spirited affair with Laurence Barrows winning first place and Gladys Oliver and Hope Ristine winning second and third places. The evening was clear and a large crowd greeted the youthful performers in their effort to do the very best to their ability. (a each realizing, of course the honor that should come to the winner made an extra effort to merit the decision of the judges. Laurence Barrows with his Jumping Frog entertained the audience and at the same time did such a thorough joh of it that the judges felt that first, place should go to none other. By virtue of winning the de- cision of the judges he had the honor of representing the Buffalo High school at the state meet which was held in Missoula the 14th, 15th, and 16th of May. Gladys Oliver was accorded second place and is the recipient of an award' which is very highly prized in this school, viz, the Mrs. John M. Kay Memorial Medal This was presented to her on Graduation night. Gladys Olivor and Hope Ristine represented the school at the county meot which was held in Lowistown the eighth and ninth of May.

During the month of September there were few parties, other than picnics, mountain excursions, horseback rides and motor trips. However, the new teachers during this first month were entertained in several homes, the first of these, being a dinner given by Reverend Belle Harman at the Methodist Parsonage. TEACHERS RECEPTIOH On Friday, September 12, a reception was given at the Methodist church as a welcome by the people of the community to the new teachers. A talk was given by Reverend Belle Har- man followed by an introduction of tho teachers by Professor Mattill. A musical program followed and during the social half hour light refreshments were served. IHITIATIOH True to the traditions of Buffalo High School, the Soph- omores took upon themselves the task of officially welcoming the class of 28 into the ranks of high school students. Us- ing the school building as a prison, with the aid of a few heavy ropes and some good Sophomore muscle, the Freshmen were corailed, tied, and generally prepared for initiation proper. What happened after they were escorted away from the school is rather a mystery to most people, but it is said that there were several encounters and fist fights with ghosts before the Freshmen finally took their reducing exercises rolling down the big hill south of the school house. RADIO PARTY Madge Coppock gave a party to a number of high school students on October 27. Coppock1s new radio furnished the program for the evening and music far the dancing. At mid- night a delightful lunch was served. SOPHOMORE HOP Ho sooner had the Sophs rested up from the exertion of initiation than they decided to do a little real entertain- ment for the high school Freshmen. Invitations were issued to all students of the high school and faculty, for a dance to be given in honor of the class of '28 at the I. 0. 0. I. Hall, Friday night. The hall was artistically decorated in a combination of the high school and Freshman colors, a good si musician was secured in the person of Miss Alma Rice, and when the quests assembled in their best attire, there was nothing lacking to make the. dance a howling sucdess. At half past ten a delicious lunch was served by the Soph- omores, and then again the dancers tripped the light fantastic until Home Sweet Home was played at half-past eleven. With this social affair apparently all former enmity be- tween the Freshmen and Sophomores was wiped out, and peace and friendship reigned supreme® DANCES cheer defeated visiting teams, and was Sometimes to console ourselves after defeat, liked to dance, an impromtu danc basket ball games court.

Bonde as a surprise for Hazel Avery. The high school girls and the faculty were the guests. Unlike many surprise parties Hazel really was uninformed; at any rate, she walked out and greeted her guests in her nightie. It is said that history re- peats itself. As a proof of this statement it will bo remem- bered that Hazel, as a Freshman appeared at her 16th birthday party garbed in a similar fashion. The guests wore dressed as kids and acted as such. Mrs. Bonde topped the evening off with a lunch and all day suckers. bo ANNIVERSARY During the basketball schedule, very few outside entertain- ments were necessary. Right after the basketball tournament.how- ever, on February 23rd, came the McCabe Golden Wedding Anniver- sary, in the celebration of which event the high school had a prominent part. As the strains of the high school orchestra filled the hall the throng began to look for their respective places at the ban- quet tables. During the dinner, which was served by the high school girls, the crowd, led by Mr. Mattill, joined in singing songs. Following the dinner, a program'was presented in which were two acts by the high school students. At the conclusion of the program, the floor was’cleared and the remainder of the evening was devoted to dancing. TRACK MEET On Wednesday night, March 4th, a' party was given for the girls of B. H. S. by Miss Helen Bagby. The guests appeared in their gym clothes at 8 P.M. The first part of the evening was given over to a track meet,consisting of hurdles, standing broad grin, relay race and shot put. The girls were divided into two groups, the Spazzum 4, and the Whiz Bang Babies. The Spazzum 4 won the gold cup with their name engraved upon it. The latter part of the evening was spent in dancing. A lunch was served at 10 o’clock. BIRTHDAY DINNER Mr. Lester Olson reached the ripe old age of sixteen, March 19, 1925. On this occasion Mrs. Herman Olson prepared for him a most delicious dinner and invited the Misses Larson, Castleman, Grissom, Bagby and Rice. Many useful and beautiful gifts were showered upon Mr. Pinkey, among them being a teething ring, a rattler, and numerous easter eggs and bunnies. KOON KLUB SUPPER It is still a mystery who it was that sent to the members of the K.K.K. a chicken dressed and ready for the frying pan. It will be remembered that that chicken took a journey down the Great Northern railroad track in the company of a moh of chicken hungry coons and dawgs. The K.K.K.’s supplied sandwiches, pick- les, fruit, cakes, ’neverthing. A big bonfire was built and marshmallows were toasted. Everybody had a real good time. ----------f?) At the time of going to press (as the newspapers say) the big event of the year has not yet come off. We are speaking of the Junior Prom, to be given Saturday evening. May 23rd at the I. 0.0.P. Hall. The rose and white invitations have just been distributed among the students and already feminine tongues are buzzing on the subject of not a thing to wear -----and mas- culine minds are figuring on how each one'can escort the most popular girl and the best dancer to the Prom. There is room for much guess work and rapid calculation in this last matter and of course, we shall all be knocked over with surprise to see Marie enter with George and Ida Belle make her appearance in company with LaVorno, There will be a long stag lino with Ray Riggs in the lead and Don Hoel running him a close second. The music is to be furnished by a throe piece orchestra------starring two Missourians and one Montana native. With such a mixture of musical performers, we are sure the dancers will be inspired to exhibit as unusual a display of aesthetic art—as is over found outside of the Denishawn School or the Barnum and Bailey circus. Of course there will be punch for those who thirst, and if Bud Ristine doesn’t shine here—we miss our guess. Altogether wo are looking for the Junior Prom to be an affair of unusual pleasure and hilarity. FORECAST THE SCHOOL PICRIC Maybe we’ll have it--and maybe we won’t—but we’re depen- ding on it anyhow.

The secret royal order of T.N.T. announces that these init- ials have nothing whatever to do with high explosives, and furthermore do not mean Telling haughty Tales or The hasty Things as many have supposed. The small Senior clan, to whom the task of putting out the school annual this year has fallen, realizing the enormous amount of work and time necessary to do the work to the best of their ability, decided that Tuesday nights should be devoted to annual work and so the TUESDAY UIG-HT TOILERS was organized and directed by Miss Alma Rice. Here lately, however, the name could very appropriately be changed to M.T.W.T.F.S.S. which means Monday, Tuesday, Wed- nesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday hight Toilers, for the Seniors have toiled every day and every night the past two weeks. In spite of all the hard work, the T.U.Tfs have had loads of fun at their meetings, and memories of this lit- tle organization will always be pleasant ones. 8 7
