This is commendable. It reflects a fine spirit and is a concrete attempt on their part at least to express their apprec- iation in the name of the whole school for what they are receiving from the patrons of the district in the form of educational advantages. Tho it may be said that education in the public schools is universal and that every ambitious youth in the State of Montana may have the privileges of a high school education, it cannot be said with ejial emphasis that the sup- port for such an institution is as undivided end encouragement for the ac- ceptance of this sort of training so complete and unstinted as it is found here. That a realization of this fact has definitely forced its way into the minds of the graduates of this school is now apparer , and they wish to say in words, and in thots which cannot be expressed, how grateful they are to you for the opportunities you have provided for them. During the four years of their high school training they have felt the steadying influence of your moral support; your cooperation v ith them, and your loyality to the school has touched a responsive cord in their hearts, and while you may forget the numerous favors and expressions of good will shown them, they must ever remember with increasing- pride what your comradeship and council had meant to them. They are therefore leaving behind them a monument, dedicated to you,which you cannot help but admire as the years pass by. While this volume in itself represents an unusual amount of exceedingly painstaking work, completed in long drawn out overtime hours, that part of the story you will never know half as well as the students who have added their talents to perfect the third mimeograph edition of THE BUFFALO . You will, however, be .‘impressed with the product of a seniors mind, conceived, designed and executed right here in your own school. This, in contrast to the highly developed year books arranged and very largely perfected by the skillful hand of a master printer, a technically trained engraver and a professional photographer who adds his artistic ability in the many portraits that form an important part of such a book. All the more then you will appreciate the high regard which the Class of f27 has expressed by dedicating this volume to you, because it represents not the array of professional skill, as in annuals above alluded to, but to work of their own hands� Teach the fundamentals in education; interpret life in terms of life; combine hooks and things, work and study. Teach honor , duty, courage, faith, hope, love of home and of country, rever- ence for God. Teach self-denial and self-reliance; love of work, joy in service, satisfaction and strength from difficulties over- come. Teach reading, writing and arithmetic, of course, hut not as fundamentals, except as in the learning one is taught to know that the sum one one’s happiness cannot he c.tained by subtracting from others; and that the way to multiply the value of one’s pos- sessions is to divide them with others, especially with those in need. Teach geography, but only that to world knowledge may be ad- ded world sympathy and understanding and fellowship. Teach history, that against its grey background of suffering and sorrow and struggle, we may better understand the present and may project a finer future. Teach civics, to make strong the ideals of liberty and jus- tice, and to make free, through obedience, the citizens of a re- public. Teach science, but always as the hand maid of religion, to reveal how the brooding spirit of God created the world and all that is therein and set the stars in their courses. Teach music and art and literature; reveal beauty and truth; inculcate social and civic ideals These are the real fundamentals in education, for ’character is higher than intellect’, and the soul shall never die. lUlil-iM 7 CMS.

The upper classmen were surprised by the calm, self-possessed mein in which these supposedly green students conduc- ted themselves. They soon came to the front in all of the school activities. Corban Brim, Hope Ristine, Otto Seng, Victor Reimers and Gladys Oliver enrol- led in the orchestra. Hope won second place in the annual Declamation Contest, and received the Kay Memorial Medal. Victor Reimers entered athletics and worked up to the position of sub—the very first thing. Originally, Charles Breese was an occupant of the airplane, but he soon left for California. Eth el Galey was the other member of that illustrious class. She was loyal to Buffalo High and her class, and helped them carry their banner on. Next September the six remaining of last year’s class, along with Willis Noel,were termed Sophomores. This class led the school in scholarship. Girl’s Basketball started and Ethel came forward as an outstanding player. There were three girls and two boys in the class at this time. Corban and Otto having gone away. The class participated in all the school events for the year. Gladys came second in Declamation and Hope third. Willis journeyed to Bozeman in January to attend the Sixth Annual Boy’s Vocational Conference. During their Sophomore year they even predominated in social affairs. They gave a dance in honor of the Freshmen—one of the outstanding social events of the year. The next year Lillie May Hammer entered the class, Hope went to Bozeman to represent the High School at the Eleventh Girl’s Vocational Conference, in November. Victor later on in the school term was one of the three boys who attended the Boy’s Conference. Again this class was well represented in track, basketball, declamation and orchestra. All the while each and every member was striving to keep the school standard high. They were very fortun- ate in being allov ed to publish the last four issues of ”The Booster”, acquir- ing some practical experience in that type of work. They were still ’’sailing on” and the next fall they returned as full- fledged seniors. Immediately they assumed their responsibilities as such and by the end of the second week they put out the first edition of ’’The Buffalo Booster , Volume III. Being both dignified and jolly they were ready to hold the traditions of the school aloft and to strive for the better things in life. When basketball season opened, the whole class entered this sport. Ethel was compelled to drop out after the first game. She was a valuable player and the team was sorry to lose her. Gladys represented the school at the Girl’s Voc- ational Conference at Bozeman. In January the Seniors turned The Booster” over to the Juniors and commenced work on the Annual, In the spring came the Basketball Banquet, Victor, Willis, Hope and Gladys received letters and these tv o girls along with Lillie May received a basketball pin from the coach Mss Zehnder. They were very busy those last two months of school getting ready for the school play and commencement. Added to this was the Annual work. Then on May 27, they were formally graduated from the Buffalo High School and the airplane that had conveyed them to the High School four years ago was now ready to take them out into life.

Gladys Oliver, Senior f27 Valedictorian has won the hearts of a host of friends as well as the highest scholastic honors in the school. By having received the most votes from all those subscribing for this volume of the annual she is signally honored and this page is there- fore inscribed in her honor.

The most prominent and persistent of these thoughts are the memories of the graduating Class of f27 and of the marvelous change that has taken place in the City of Buffalo, Montana (not Hew lock). Since oil was struck some forty years ago, Buffalo has grown into one of the most beautiful of the modern cities and is quite noted for its oil refin- eries. The short extensions to the Consolidated Northern enables the people to take great quantities of iron ore from the Belt Mountains and bring it to Buffalo where the largest smelter in the world sends its health giving fumes over the surrounding farming territory. By a new scientific process, this smelter smoke has become one of the best fertilizers in the world and has done much to improve our local conditions. Trees, fruits, grains of all descriptions now flourish in this wonderful basin and forty in- ches of rain falls every year all of which is due to the new smelting methods. Willis A. Noel has been mostly responsible for the magnificent change in our locality. He has become the greatest inventor and research worker the world has ever known. Even while going to high school he showed a marked liking for mathematics, science or any other subject that required deep thought. After graduating from West Point, Bill became an army officer and rose to a very high rank in the Mexican war. It was while he was taking an active part in this war that he be- gan experimenting with different metals and compounds in the hope of bringing forth some sort of gas with which to meet the terrible attacks of the Mexicans, As the result of much thought, he finally brought forward a mixture called Swisscam- phoratedcopper made from the fumes of hot limburgher cheese and copper which had bee heated in vinegar until white hot. This gas when sent over the enemy lines proved so penetrating that their best gas masks were of no avail and they immediately, unconditionally, surrendered al- though it affected them in no way than to give them convulsions of the stomach. This first success spurred Bill on to still greater efforts of which the nev smelter process was the result. Since that time he has become the richest man in the world and is now resting on his laurels and thoroughly enjoying himself for he — — is the head of a happy family. 20 Prince tal to All at once lights, formed into a giant star and colored like a rainbow, blaze up over the very center of the city Without glancing at my watch, I know that it is now nine o’clock for Hope Ristine never opens the Star Opera House at any other time. Years ago, not so many at that, Hope was one of the beauties of the agee and became one of the most artistic ballet dancers the world had ever seen. She spent many years in Europe and it was only just in recent years that Hope abandoned her public career, came back to Buffalo and financed the Op- era House. The phenomenal growth of our community is due largely to her efforts, as her great beauty and the excellent programs which she puts on, draws people from all over the world. In no oth- er city of the United Sta bes or Europe, can so many famous musicians, dancers and other artists be found as in ours and the people as a whole have really began to appreciate the worth and value of their work. Miss Ristine, although she has had several notable love affairs, one with a famous bank president, has never married. It seems that she has never been able to find a Charming to suit her varied taste or, perhaps she is too temperamen- suit the men. Lillie May Hammer, about ten years ago, became the world?s champion debater. After acquiring all the fame possible in this line, she returned to her home city and has become active in the political field. It took much persuading on the part of Miss Hammer’s friends before she decided to take up this work but finally she agreed and now has become the progressive mayor of our industrious city She has a very bright future ahead and it is predicted that she will he the governess of our state and may fin- ally reach the position, first woman president. Many Buffalo have been due to methods. She has developed the marvel trict and and be honored as our of the improvement of our mayor’s efficient a police force that is of the state. There is no tenement dis- the streets are so well lighted that it is difficult to tell night frorty day. On the eastern end of this wonderful city may be seen a great, white, marble building some forty or fifty stories in height. It is the Institution of Mental Developement and is presided over by Gladys Oliver the most prom- inent educator of our time. Even while going to high school, Gladys gave promise of the glory to be hers and many are the algebra and geometry stu- dents she helped over the hump in those days. Being of a sympathetic nature and finding a certain facination in being of assistance to people, she took up school work. She has become especially proficient in ira thematics and has given the world several new geometry theorems It is said that she and Bill get together once in a while for the purpose of working on the afore mention- ed theorems, but this is to he expected since they were such good friends when in school. Three or four blocks to the right of the Institution of Mental Develop- ment stands another tall, handsome building, The House of Rest,” and is as its name suggests, a hotel. It is the finest hotel in the west and has as- tablished a name for itself that will never be forgotten. It was built and has been operated until recently by the former Miss Ethel Galey who has al- ways been a splendid hostess and was never happy unless surrounded by a group of visitors. After several years of managing The House of Rest,” Ethel fell for one of the more famous of the guests and changed her name. She is now living in a big mansion, but she still owns the hotel and you see her some- where around it almost every day. I suppose you people wonder what I am doing on top of this mountain and what I have accomplished in all of these years. Well, I haven’t done any- thing and at the present time I am a traffic cop directing the airplanes, both freight and passenger, as they go by, for this happens to be on their main traveled road.

As nearly as I can remember the fol- lowing green horns”, if we might he called such, enrolled in the school: Laurence Barrows, Ray Riggs, Donald Noel, Lester Olson, Nicholas Noel, LaVerne Fairbanks, Thelma Crabtree, V ilber McDon- ald, Ernest Westberg, and Albert Westberg. The last three lost faith in the work and did not come back to school. The upper classmen looked at us in a rather haphazard” way. They soon changed their ideas about us when Laurence walked off with the declamatory honors, getting a free trip to Missoula. The second milestone was reached with an increase of two new classmates, Charles Miller and Frances Ca,ton. The class at this time was very valuable to the school especially when it came to athletics. We furnished three regular players on the team, namely: Ray Riggs, Laurence Barrows, and Charles Miller, and thus the second mile stone was finished. The third milestone was reached with three losses and one gain. Charles Miller left for Billings, Laurence Barrows went went to San Diego to school and Thelma Crabtree went back to Mis- souri to live with her parents. Ellen Frost joined our ranks at this time. The Juniors are very proud in furnishing four of the regular players of the Basket Ball team this year, namely; LaVerne Fair- banks, Don and Nick Noel and Ray Riggs. The Class of 28 are going strong and v e hope to continue. In January we were given The Booster” work. The experience will help for we should be able to put out some real work next year.

They soon became accustomed to the ways of the mighty and powerful Seniors and we re growing on to the way of the Sophomores. Just then John Luhra, Bonnie King and George Sanders left them to go to other schools; all the rest succeeded in remaining. During this year the Freshmen took part in most of the school activities. A t the beginning of basketball all the girls went out for it, while the boys didn’t enter at all. Blanche started off in basketball fast and furious, but was forced to quit on account of her health. The Freshmen were determined to keep one on the team so Blanche told her secret of how to play to Marjorie and she began to pep up. Ethel Steele and Syole Olson because of lack of cexperience did not make the team. When the letters were given out, one freshmen (Marjorie) received a letter. Yea—Bo—Here they are again, on September 13, 1926! Vfaat's the matter? Only six of the old crowd back, but who is that—Oh! It’s Clyde Avery who has come to join their happy throng. You’re welcome Clyde. About this time Syble left and they were all sor- ry to see her go This year the Sophomores were in everything. letters and Dale played on the boys team) and Declamatory.!

This structure seems to be doing its share for the Buffalo community by being used for what- ever purpose it may serve best. With First State Bank printed in large letters across the front and Drugs down the sides, it was naturally unfair to expect strongers in this vicinity to know that school was taking place in- side. Every salesman and agent found out for himself that this was not a place to sell his wares or to transact business. The Buffalo Annex School, alais Buffalo Bank alais Buffalo Drug Store, made rather an excellent school room after the =rieces si ties placed in it. This was a great improvement over the room of last'jear on the stage in the I. 0. 0. F. Hall. Since the Intermediate room was too densely populated, the fourth grade came to the Annex to make its home for the year. This made an enrollment of twenty-two. On October 11, Ridgley Miller went with his parents to Oregon and a month later Darrell and Victor Guthrie also left, when their parents also went to the west. Lawrence and John Martin joined our eighth grade on November 22; they had been attending school near I Stanford i during Christmas vacation, Janet Taylor, who had been staying with' nex grandparents, Mrs. and Mr. W. B. Shiells, went to Bozeman and remained there with her parents. There were no other changes in enrollment for the year. On Valentine’s Day the students of the Annex gave a luncheon for their parents and close friends. The room, was attractively decorated in red and white and valentines. There were small tables, each seating four, with white luncheon cloths and napkins, and red valentine nut cups. Everything for this event was made by the children. Each pupil was assigned a definite task to do and each performed his duty very faithfully so there was very little con- fusion. There were about fifty-four parents served. Everyone proclaimed the luncheon a great success, at any rate, the children enjoyed entertaining their parents. The other social events were as follows: a geniune weird spook party on Hallowe’en; a happy Christmas treat when the students exchanged giftsj. three parties were given by the losing cars in the automobile races for Spelling; and, last but not least, comes the grade picnic at the close of school.

We found a place for each with some assistance from Miss Castle- man and Mr , Mattill—and settled down to work. The fourth grade was later moved down to the Annex, leaving our room with hut twenty-four pupils. In October we lost Helen Miller, who moved to Oregon, hut her place was immediately filled hy Maude Phillips who came to us from Ottumma. Iowa. Roberta Bonde next left for a new home in Kansas, leaving the sixth grade with hut ten pupils. April 4th enrollment was raised to twenty-five by the entrance of Helen and Emma Rente1 from Bozeman. This raised the number in the fifth grade to fifteen, the largest class in the school. Those on the honor roll this year according to number of times were Boris Riggs, 4, Agnes Salisbury, 2, Roberta Bonde, 2, Kournies Spurgeon. 2, Francis Wetzel, 2, Nora Cromer, Edythe Fairbanks, Junior Wernli and Harold Zimmerman, for the sixth grade. Raymond Rung, 8, Myrtle Jackson, 6, Robert Frost, 5, Bruce Frost, and Ruby Nickel, for the fifth grade. After Christmas we ggt toplay basket' ball three times a week until the tournament when Mary Griffith broke her arm. We lost much of our enthusiam that afternoon. The social events of the year began with a Hallowe’en party to which we welcomed quite a number of the parents. The next was a farewell party lor Roberta Bonde at the Frost home. Y«e had a very pretty Christmas tree and all were made happy by the ex- change of gifts. For a part of our history review, we had a de- bate. The children worked so hard we decided to celebrate with a party, be had a fine time. Last, hut not least, comes the pic- nic at which everyone was quite gay after the strenuous week of finals. ?R IIAR Y R 0 0 I first, Second and Third Grades Donald Hart------ Howard Wetzel— Charles Edwards-- Willys Oliver---- James Griffith— Arthur Zimmerman- Thomas Rente1---- Fred Fuller------ Ralph Jackson---- Thee Reiiiakius-- Carrol Olson----- Steven, Ristine— Eddie Fuller----- Rae Spurgeon----- Joy 111 Her------ Mabel Williams— Loree Conner-— Reulah Nickels— Dorothy Bentei— Mary Jo Miller-— Jean Spurgeon---- —Daring hut Harmless ---- --Happy and Wise ----------Cunning Elf ---------Working Only —— -----Jus t Great —-Active as a Zebra ---------Truthful Boy ---------Funny Feller — -------Real Jewel -------Trusty and Right -------Cute hut Ornery ---------Sweet Rascal ----—Excellent Friend -------Rosy and Sweet — -----Jolly Iv iden ----Merry and Willing ----Loving hut Cross --------Bright and Nice ----Doubtful hut Brave —Mirthful and Mighty ----joking—never Sad These discriptions, using the initialst were given each of the children by the rest Miss Mna Castleman, Teacher Ht Otss PSII'JSBY 3001: The Priory'grades have had a busy, happy year even tho9 the enrollment is much less than it has “been for sometime. Several classmates left our ranks during the early part of the school year. Curtis Guthrie, the honor student of the third grade and Phyllis 1,3.Her, of the second grade, moved with their parents to Salem, Oregon. Myrtle Peterson, second grade, and How- ard Peterson, first grade, also lef.t the immediate vicinity. Mabel Williams, Beulah Nickels, Arthur Zimmerman, and Dorothy and Thomas Bental are pupils who were enrolled for the first time in the Buffalo schools. Dorothy and Thomas were here for only the last two months. Much enjoyment has been derived from playing store . P'e received empty boxes representing the different products of the National Biscuit Company and a box for each child containing sample packages of all of the products of the Postum Cereal Company. The most beneficial contest that we have had this year has been our automobile races in Spelling. The Chandler and the Ifermon seemed to be quite evenly matched but the Hudson went so fast that the Chrysler did nothing ex- cept eat dust most of the way. The pupils in the losing car entertained the winners with a party. The children with the help of their mothers gave a surprise party on VI33 Castleman, on lurch 14th. At 4 o’clock she ms asked to go for n ride to Straw—only to find that Straw had been moved to the Remaklus home and that a good many of our Buffalo people were residing there, at least for that evening. She says the next time all of the pupils leave immediately upon dismissal her suspicions ¥dll he aroused. The attendance had been very good this year® Nearly all of the pupils earned middle-sized certificates for four months9 perfect attendance and a few earned the large certificates with gold seals on them for a year’s per- fect attendance. The pupils who have at • ome time during the year, earned a monthly aver- age of 89% or above are: Third Grade: James Griffith Mary Jo IQ.Her Ralph Jackson Second Grade: Joy IQller Howard Vretzel Loree Conner Carrol Olson Done.Id Hart First Grades Theo Remaklus Rae Spurgeon Every ye r it seems permissible to take at least one opportunity to crow Not that there is anything in particular to crow about, but that it is more or less of an early morning habit, and this is the morning on which we insist in making ourselves heard We propose to wake up the whole neighborhood, if only long e nough for them to shy a bunch of rocks in disgust at us and then proceed to return to the slumbering couch to fin- ish the legal and normally alloted eight. Since one year ag6 many great events have been recorded The Mississippi has overflowed its banks, Leita Chaplin has been granted $8,000 a month alimony, the Internati onal Elevator at Buffalo has burned to the ground, Nicholas Noel has begun to wear long pants and the taxpayers of Buffalo have voted bonds to erect a new building to supplant the historic old landmark which has been the scene of such intense activity for the past years, especially for the seniors in the final lap to the Commencement pro- gram. To try to record half of the noteworthy events f or the year that has just slipped around the corne? would require more space than The New York World usually allows for Christmas edition We shall not speak of ©u? neighbors who have scented the s efet ness of the other fellows grass and are now browsing in pastures on hill and plain far away Pegarding them we can only report that many have already expressed a desire to return, while at the same time we may report that not a few from other parts have come to take their places so that our ranks are quite as complete especially on the census as ever and the advance reports of the school records will show that the average daily attendance in the Buffalo Schools will equal that of any other previous year The early fall subscription cam- paign for the Booster was one of the first real efforts of the students. In all respects this was most encour- aging and when the figures were total- ed it was found to contain about 200 names. These together with exchanges brought our mailing list up to the 250 mark. Quite a record was established for regularity in getting each edition in the mails and into the hands of subscribers A new heed for the paper was settled on and it is now a perman- ent part of the paper Social events began quite early, with the freshmen in the process of initiation for close onto two weeks, after which the hatchet was permanent- ly buried and all differences of caste and opinion were for grot ten at a hilarious party held the last of Octo- ber, when witches, ghosts and pumpkin pie created the center of attraction® An other social occasion was afforded when the freshmen were entertained in honor of Ivan on his birthday Mrs White, the director of music again gave a holiday party for the high school students at the beautiful White home four miles south-west of Buffalo The evening was filled with music games and dancing and ended with a delicious and generous lunch Another affair of unusual interest was the Junior-Senior banquet which was lufeld at the Buffalo Hotel Mrs Frost and llrs Pudgett were the sponsors for this dinner and in all the five courses served, nothing was omitted which would fail to appease the keen- est taste of the chronic epicure The dinner was followed by a number of toasts, Gladys Oliver acting as toast- mistress Hobson was the scene of another occasion calculated to stimulate the seniors to take up advanced work at Inter mountain College for the coming year About seventy were seated at the tables for a sumptuous dinner af- ter which Pres. Klemme of Intermoun- tain College gave an address• This program too, was considered one of the delightful events of the year. Beginning early in the school year both parents and students have had an opportunity to meet, while the teachers found many opportunities to come in closer contact with the par- ents and patrons. The first occasion was offered at the night school. The afternoon session was held at night and all the children were instructed to return at 7:00 P. M. bringing their parents with them. The evening wa.s a grand success, at least fifty parents and friends were present and in every case the opportunity was open for the parent to meet the teacher as well as spend a few minutes in the class room while the program of the regular ses- sion was in operation. Later in the year the interest of students began to mount as they specu- lated on who might be chosen to attend the two Vocational Conferences at Bozeman. Gladys Oliver was selected to represent the Buffalo High at the girls ’ meeting and the splendid report which she gave upon her return was an evidence that it was a really inspir- ational occasion, giving her a vision in certain lines of work open for wom- en, which she had never had before. The boys went later, Ray Riggs, Donald Noel and Dale Phillips being selected to represent this high school. Over a thousand boys from all over the state were in attendance and it was there that many national speakers addressed the conference on vital points in mak- ing a choice for a lifework, showing the opportunities and advantages of certain professions and callings. The boys upon their return home made a re- port at the I. 0. 0. F. Hall concern- ing the trip. Since variety is the spice of life and necessity the mother of in- digestion it has not been found neces- sary to sit up at night planning social gatherings in Buffalo that might stimulate interest They just seem to break out spontaneously around in these parts and one occasion espe- cially deserves mention in particular. This was the super-special of the year when the BEARCATS met the B. H. S. girls1 basketball team on the local floor for a game of the favorite in- door winter pastime. After prelimin- aries, more ceremonious than those ever ascribed to the Sioux Indians in appealing to the great spirit before entering a battle, the opposing sides took the floor. The contest waxed fast and furious with neither side showing signs of weakening, and with neither side seeming to gain much of an advantage over the other. Like Antaeus of Fabled History the bearcats appeared to renew their strength with each step and every time one went down, the player came back with renew- ed vigor approximately ten fold. The pace became so hot for the high school overalls that when the final whistle blew the contest was declared a vic- tory for the BEARCATS. Since that time the BEARCATS have kept up their organization, enlarging their member- ship and playing volley ball every Wednesday night. They have now round- ed into such splendid form and have challenged anything west of the Mis- sissippi for any sort of a contest women may enter. The usual attacks of spring fever have been somewhat delayed by the lateness of the spring, thereby giving the students an opportunity to proceed with less interference with the as- signed duties and extra work incident to the concluding of a years work With three or four exceptions the at- tendance of the high school has been the highest in the history of the school. No serious epidemics have in- terrupted the work for the year, the most serious thing having transpired was the three visits of the County Health Officer and a trained nurse who appeared to immunise the youth of the community against diphtheria. (140 were shot thrice ) The regular pursuits of the B. H. S. students have been moving along a plane entirely in keeping with pre- vious standards. The Freshmen have had many hard battles to fight in Lat- in, history, and algebra with few casualties to report for the year, the other classes have been especial 1 y fortunate in that respect also. The Seniors have been attempting to come thru with flying colors, but alas the colors have been flying in one direc- tion while an occasional senior was flying in the opposite. Early in the year the Senior group took over the duties of editing and publishing a school paper, having the traditions and inspiration of two previous classes behind them in this respect. They claimed such a mark of proficiency at the end of the first semester so that their duties in this capacity were relinquished to the brilliant and aggressive Juniors who have taken upon themselves the com- plete task of publishing the Rooster from the first of February It has just occurred to us that you might be especially interested in the Who a Who column of the Buffalo Schools„ If that be true we will begin with one of the leading lights of the institu- tion. The char- acter we portray on this page is none other than Miss Mary P„ Kelson. During the year she has endeared herself to all of her students in a most inimical way. Her meth- ods are all her own and she wields a wicke butter---paddle, thus insuring t he re spe ct due her from all who cross her knee. Just at this particular moment, the camera caught her caressing her admir- ing little pet, Willis Noel, more commonly known by all of his class- mates as Bill . It has not been generally known just what the secret of her success has consisted most of but the mechan- ical eye of the caiaera leaves no room for doubt o Her firm hold upon the students has never been questioned since she began her duties here last September. Other accomplishments be- sides those here shown are the teach- ing of mathematics, commercial sub- jects, making annuals and driving cars. Her hc-bby (not hubby) has a leaning toward radios. Before leaving this picture we must not pass over the second party involved. Willis Noel, and I am sure all of you recognize him by the strik- ing similar- ity this pic- ture bears to his real self In this lit- tle two char- acter tragedy he really is con sid er ed the villian, tho it ap- pears that his villan- acts come to abrupt This is tempor- of one can never tell. During his high school days Bill has been characterized for his calm and deliber- ate ways. One keen observer said of him: He is as calm as a man with St. Vitus dance walking a tight rope across the Niagara Falls in a hurricane. He is 6-6 on tip toe hut does not eat very much, for he explaines, he makes a little go a long way. We present he r e wi t h a uni que snap- shot of one Victorious Anton- ious Aurelius Rei- mers other wise known as ,rVictf, who has just re- turned from the blacksmith shop with his new dreps for the Junior Prom. He is giv- ing a group of ad- mirers who have quickly gathered on the street cor- ner a little dem- onstration of the way he expects to do the nimble footed flea hop at the dance that night. When in- terviewed by a Rooster reporter shortly after this demons t rat iorv, he said that he believed he would have a sense of security he had never before experienced. Cupids darts are being aimed so ruthlessly at my heart and this should ward them all off and give me more placid dreams than I now ex- perience May 6 and 7 v ere the days design nated as the time for the annual Fer- fus County Public School Union Meet, but due to the terrific storm which began on Wednesday night and continued with unabated fury until Sunday night the outdoor events planned for this affair were very much a failure. Buffalo had some representation tho not a fourth of what might have atten- ded had there been just ordinary wea- ther instead of a regular blizzard. In the mental contests the Buffalo grade had quite a little competition and af- ter all points had been tallied it was found that our place was third for the County. The high school events were not so numerous and neither were there so many entered in these as was expec- ted. By capturing three firsts the two high school students took first place in the County, G-ladys Oliver winning first in shorthand and first in type- writing while Ruth Spurgeon was able to take first place in Algebra« Following a widespread request we are presenting for your enjoyment and we honestly believe for your edification the very latest pic- ture our vigilant photographer was able to get just before going to press. We thought it might be a good plan to have all of you make a half dozen guesses be- fore we revealed the identity of these sleeping beauties. Perhaps you are - wondering how it was that our photo- grapher could get near enough to get this close-up . That part of the story we can never tell, for every progressive publication such as the Buffalo Rooster has its secrets and to divulge them would be just like let- ting a half gallon of blood out of a modern shiek. As you may observe yourself one of these characters is wide awake while the other appears to be in the act of slumbering. ' Whether she has her eyes shut merely to elude the photographer or whether she is really sleeping is another secret that will perhaps remain with our energetic photographer until his dying day. But it is crimi- nal to hold you in sus- pense longer and so take your last look before we say that the beauty on the near side is Miss Edna Castle man while the o- ther must of necessity be Miss Evelyn Larson. This picture is certainly a uni- que combination of art, of original beauty and of such other masterful touches that a perfect atmosphere alone could give. To point out the strong points of this portrait would require some critic of note, Angelo or Raphael perhaps. Artists on our staff of lesser ability would likely direct your attention to the firmly set jaw and t he p owe r fu 1 right am. Tho there might be some question as. to the value of these as strictly artistic points they are nev- ertheless indicative as to strength of character. In her hands she carries a heart and Dorothea is coining back to Montana after an absence of a number of years, to refresh her eyes with the beautiful scenery. Whether she is bound has not been determined by our reporter. At any rate all of her Mon- tana friends are glad to welcome Miss Zehnder back after her travels in the East. The trWhofs Who” column in the Buffalo School would never be consid- ered reliable and up-to-date did it not contain the name and portrait of another important character in the Class of f27. We present the very clever work of art done originally in sepia by the staff photographer. This copper etching of the more expensive not shown type was left in the acid bath a trifle too long and some of the deli- cate lines } £ which orig- p inally ap- peared are here de- priving the print of some of Its richness and su- per tone which the original clearly shows. Then again the quality of pap- er used in this issue of the Rooster seems to be somewhat below the stan- dard which, of course, does not add the work of our clever camera man. In this picture our Business Manager of the 1927 Buffalo is telling one of life's little jokes to her bosom friend. She appears somewhat run down after a slight at- tack of cosineitis but expects to he back to normal within another month or so. Tho none of her friends would any art to believe her, Gladys always says-”Ire- ally never do take what you would call a good picture.1’ Say boyI Look what we have here. Our photographer must have been on the job when he got this snap. The truth Of the matter is, this is not the real person for she has just put on a Hal- loween costume and is enjoying herself at the party the Frosh have given in their own honor. Y e suspect that she is just about ready to jump from be- hind a bush and ’holler ’ Boo at the unsophisticated little yearlings who are utterly oblivious of her immediate presence. While the editorial staff of the Rooster was rather reluctant to accept this artificial make up of Lillie May Hammer, the photographer has confessed that because of her ex- treme reticence he has never been able to get a satisfactory portrait of her face. Everything he had been able to get up to date showed her in motion disappearing from the camera, at a 2;40 gait. On the one occasion he had al- most won her confidence enough to have her pose for a photo, and he explained that his motto was Where there fs beauty we take it and where there is none we make it. The next issue of the Rooster was published without its usual pictorial section for two rea- sons. The photographer was just con- valescing in the emergency hospital and at the same time was waiting for a new camera lens from the manufacturera Ray in and day out with cea- seless and relent- less effort our photographer sc- ours the country side for interest- ing personality to add to the feature page of our weekly publication. He has found such a charming character for this section that all will be glad to have this darling picture to keep as a souvenir and perhaps paste in a family album or a scrap book for permanent keeping. Many of you have met the character whose 1ikene s s appears next to this humble little write-up so she hardly needs an introduction to her many friends in Central Montana, and a host of friends in neighboring states will•recognize her clever grad- uation gown. She seems to be express- ing great surprise. Maybe it's a watch, or possibly a ring somebody is handing her, or it could be the ex- pression at the sight of a diploma. Ethel Galey, it is indeed, and we hope she has many more pleasant graduation days' before she has reached the cen- tury mark Here is a concrete example that teachers, who are wide awake, are nev- er satisfied with their extent of knowledge hut are always seeking more® This likeness is Mrs. Frost eagerly reaching for the Book of Knowledge as she plans on attending summer school, altho her pupils insist that she knows altogether too much without further research work We follow with another portrait one of the brightest lights among the seniors, namely Hope Ristine. Ah, but shefs a dear girl tho she was not in- clined to smile very graciously when the photographer was about to snap her The usual little birdie which he had used on hundreds of occasions be- fore made no appeal to her but when he handed her a couple of police pups made of cheese-cloth and excelsior, how her round little orbs were illu- minated with the light of her soulj This exquisite portrait preserves for all time the childish charm of her senior days when she as editor, direc- ted the work of the 1927 Buffalo. See the look in the eye! Do you recognise the pose? Yes, it is our insurpassable principal as he repeat- edly appears at the door of the Sci- ence Room. He knew his turn was com- ing as he had previously tried to con- fiscate the photographer’s instrianent, it having already been the means of permanently recording characteristic poses of other individuals of this institution.

The follov ing were observed by all girls practicing basketball. 1. In bed at 10 P. M. and at least 8 hours sleep. 2. Sleep in a well-ventilated room. 3. Absolutely no eating between meals. 4. No candies, pastries, cakes, etc. 5« Eight glasses of water per day. 6. An abundance of vegetables and: fruit included in diet. 7. Shower after each practice. The above septenary torture opened girls’ basketball with a bang and a review of the season cannot properly omit mention of those hated command- ments. However, it is quite evident that these precepts aided materially in the success of the Overalls even though the scores of the opponents piled up to 158 in contrast to the girls’ 59. Consequently, the general health of the squad was so improved that only two members were lost, Ethel Galey and Esther Frost. Considering the individual benefits derived, each girl learned to play an absolutely clean game, to lose as a good sport should lose, to play hard and to the best of her ability. The squad consisted of Hope Ristine, captain; Frances Caton, Ellen Frost, Blanche Galey, Lillie lay Hammer, Lucia Lewis, Gladys Oliver, Marjorie Ristine, and Ruth Spurgeon. The girls had to be versatile; and although Marjorie, Ruth, and Blanche usually played forward, they also had to guard part of the time. Hope and Gladys usually guarded and Frances, Ellen, and Lillie May worked as guards or forwards as the occasion demanded. Lucia, who had never before this season, seen a game of basketball, rapidly developed some rudiments of a good player and with more practice and experience should prove valuable because of her height. The grade girls offered valuable assistence as did also the Bearcats, for scrimmage would have been impossible without these others. Ristine and Mr. Smith who refereed the games and practices are to be very gratefully thanked for their part in the success of our season. Short Shots. Hope; An aggravating dribble used in getting free. Frances: Celerity and sticktoitiveness. Ellen: A go—getter at the Gap and the one free-throw. Blanche: A sure shot in the Hobson game. Lillie May: A basket at Moore and a follower to get one’s goat, Gladys: Consistently hard player and located to tip-off. Marjorie: The tallest of the shorts, a gorgeous pivot and a shark on long shots. Ruth: A mean pivot and special ability to get free. The above combination won the game from Hobson to the tune of 31-8. 3?C BASKETBALL POH 1926-27 Another basketball season for the boys of the Buffalo High School is now ancient history. The training season began the last of November with pros- pects any thing but bright. Pessimists were to be found on every corner for casting a dismal season for the locals. It will be remembered that there was some just basis for the belief that disaster was to be the lot of the B. H. S. boys, since the team of the year before had disbanded and with it four regu- lars had gone never to return. By graduation two members retired from the high school roster, namely, Milton Olson and Bernard Ristine, while Charley Miller drifted ofrt into the Yellowstone and Lawrence Barrows began his stud- ies on the coast. These last two under graduates together with Lester Olson probably held the balance which some-how could not he accounted for in the ranks of partially developed and new material. In spite of the fact that the majority of the games were lost five were conceded to the opponents on scores so small that this could not be taken as a true measure of strength of the victorious teams. To dispel the doubts of the fans the Buffalo quintet stepped into the fray an on the local floor wal- loped the Bentonites, who had made an excellent record in early season play. A few weeks later the locals traveled to Benton and there received a troun- cing that somewhat soothed the sting of the first defeat the Benton aggreg- ation had felt on the barnstorming trip they were making during the holidays. Moccasin opened the season here winning by a margin of one point but they too during the season had to bow to defeat at the hands of the Buffalo five at the invitational tournament held at Moore in February. On another occasion Moore was vanquished in what many considered a thriller” but Moore playing consistent ball all the way thru fought every inch for her place while the locals played by streaks and on meeting this team a second time were drubbed severly. So the season wore on. The Buffalo five always a threat, with worlds of power backed by a stamina that comes only from careful and consistent train- ing was nevertheless not the team it could have been. It lacked something to set it on fire, something to stimulate a consistent spirit of sustained ag- gressiveness which at times was produced in dazzling performance. The very fact that it could be done and WAS done made the situation doubly hard to solve. There was always the best of relations existing between the players with none seeking to advance his position at the expense of the others, so it could not be chalked up to a lack of harmor. y among the squad members; it was not a lack of physical strength, nor was it because of a lack of ability. All these points were toppled over by spasmodic performances which proved that some other cause was at the bottom of it all. After speculating on the situation for sometime it has been the conclusion of some that the team lack- ed one of those rare individuals who becomes the active leader in such a cori- tes t, setting the pace which his team mates are bound to follow. The season was officially closed at the banquet early in March, when the following were awarded letters: Victor Reimers, Bon Noel, Ray Riggs, Lillis Noel, La Verne Fairbanks and Nicholas Noel. On considering a review' of the work the school v ishes to take this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Laur- ence B- Smith for his faithful and capable efforts as a referee for all games played on the local floor. BASKET BALL BANQUET Friday afternoon, Inarch 4, Mr. Matt111 called a special assembly to de- cide whether or not we desired a basket-hall banquet and, if so, what ar- rangements should he made The entire school was unanimously in favor of having a banquet, which, for the past three years, has been an annual event, Gladys Oliver was elected chairman of the banquet committees. The eats part of it was cared for by Frances; the decorating by Victor; and the pro- gram by Willis, The committees worked hard, and success was the result. Ev- ery student in school v as used on one of the three committees No slackers or shirkers were found among them Saturday night, March 12, saw another red-letter day for the students of the Buffalo High. The I, 0. 0. F, Hall was the place and the two basket-ball teams were really and truly the occasion. Under streamers of blue and white and other decorations, perfectly ar— ranged tables were placed t© accommodate 90 students, patrons, and friends of the high school. With an appropriate place-card and program placed at each plate, the crowd was seated at about 7:30 and all ready for business. Not often do students perform so acceptably on such a large scale, but within four minutes the entire number had been served and all were enjoying a truly appetizing dinner which they had themselves prepared. Various groups of students served the first course and cleared the tables for the second; which was served by the now notoriously famous BEARCATS, who, having pre- viously elevated themselves from a mediocre station in life to the athletic and social limelight in Buffalo, and because of their affable dispositions and incomparable ability to make and serve salad, were also invited to be present. The third course, consisting of cake and brick ice-cream, was ser- ved by our genial and good-natured friends, Messrs. Spurgeon, Selleck,Ristine and Rung. Beginning before the first course and continuing at intervals throughout the dinner, songs and music formed a most interesting part of the menu. The songs were led by Mr. Mattill with Mrs. Barrows at the piano, Mrs Harold White on the saxaphone, and John R. Barrows adding volume with the baritone. Following the dinner, numerous toasts were given with Miss Nelson acting as toastmistress. (The program for the banquet follows.? Here the students had the opportunity to distinguish themselves as after-dinner speakers and this formed one of the high-lights of the evening. Besides the students who took part, parents and guests added their share, while Miss Larson thoroughly pleased everyone with two beautiful solos. With an hour of dancing which followed it was with all one of the most enjoyable occasions of the year and one, in which all of the energy of the high-sehool students had been combined in planning, preparing, and partici- pating, in what many freely stated was the finest effort of a social nature the students had yet attempted. At the conclusion of the toasts, letters were awarded by Mss Zehnder to the following girls: Marjorie Ristine, Gladys Oliver, Blanche Galey, Ruth Spurgeon, and Hope Ristine. Mr. Mattill awarded letters to Willis, Don, and Nicholas Noel, la Verne Fairbanks, Ray Riggs, and Victor Reimers. He, in turn, was awarded by the members of the team, with Victor Reimers as spokes- man, a handsome bill fold PROGRAM Toastmistress Miss Mary Nelson S - ignals Victor Reimers lay ball- ------------------------ -Hope Ristine laying the game- --------------------- Harold White 0 - ur team- R y Riggs eady timers- ----------------------- -Mr, Reimers eserves- ----------------------- Marjorie Ristine rips, traveling, team- ----------------- -Ruth Spurgeon work, training rules- ------------------- Dan Selleck corekeepers- -------------------- -Lillie May Hammer ide line versions- -------------------- -Clyde Avery M - ore fun- Frances Caton A - ssociations £ _ eeded competitors eeded boosters- - - - - -Blanche Galey John R.

I - n play The Seniors of ?27 will not soon forget this year’s Junior Prom. Many of the students declared it to be the most brilliant and the most successful social event of the season. At 8-oo o’clock P. M., April 8, the Junior Class formed their receiving line and prepared to greet their guests, the Seniors, the faculty, and the lower Classmen. The hall was decorated with blue and white streamers, the school colors. The orchestra was in the center of the room and was enclosed with maroon and gold ribbons, in honor of the Seniors. The stage was arranged as a hoae like room where the exhausted dancers and the 'on-lookers waited. The guests were a,ll given scarlet and gold (Junior colors) programs. The first dance was called a ”Jane” dance—the girls were given names—such as. Mob Galey, Stringbeans Caton, Pudge Ristine and Skinny Oliver. The boys drew names and matched them. For the second dance the girls drew names to see whether they were to dance with Babe Reimers, Fishy Noel or Rube Riggs. For the supper dance matching flowers and vegetables were handed out. Supper was served at tiny tables, which were scattered cabaret like over the room. Sandwitches, cake, pickles, ice cream and punch made up the lunch. At 11:30 7tHome Sweet Home” was played, and after expressing their thanks and congratulations to the Juniors and Miss Zbhnder, their sponser, the ”Promers” wended homeward. © 'gSSSSS O GRADE PROGRAM The Grade Program was given Wednesday, May 25, and vjas composed of two operettas and one action song.

IE MES Mss Zehnder installed soxr.eth.ing new in entertainment this year when she gave two pantomimes, the Me Her drainer, and Poky Huntis. The Mellerdramer was highly romantic and full of thrills Pale was the black-souled villain, who resolved to marry Marjorie, the fair heroine, wheth er she would or no. feile she was in the depths of despair the dashing and faithful lover appeared. Upon greeting his sweet lady he tenderly pressed her hand (with a flat iron). Just at this moment Marvel (Pale) hurst in and discovered them. He challenged the brave hero to a duel. They assaulted each other (with salt shakers) and finally ferve 1 took a box out of his pock-� et and gave up the match. The lovers were happy ever after, and the sup set down in a chair Poky Runtis was very different The fair seene (Johnny Luhm) was laid in the forest when the curtain rose. Pan was the unfortunate hero, John Smith® LaVerne, the father of the beautiful Poky (Buth), had a hard time trying to decide what to do with Smith until Poky stepped in. Then, as he had given his heart to Poky, it was decided to join them and the priest was called to tie them together (with a rope). These v ere presented in assembly on Friday, the twelfth of March, and again at the Hidden Menu Supper at the hall on April 1. THE MEDICIHE SHOU” The Medicine Show and the pantomime entitled Wild Nell given at the hall Thursday night. May 5th, was a great success. Two casts were chosen to give the show. The first consisting of Victor Beimers, John Cromer, and Clyde Avery; and the second of LaVerne Fairbanks, Victor Beimers, and fervin Phillips. The cast chosen to represent the Buf- falo High School at Missoula were LaVerne, Victor and John Cromer. The pantomime sorely was a specimen of rapid motion with Mss Castleman taking the part of Wild Nell, the girl Cowboy. Pale Phillips ms Alkali Ike, the cowboy in love with Lady Clara Veredde Vere who was so ably portray- ed by Mss Nelson. Paniel Selleck was a most convincing Indian chief and Ivan Abbott looked truly blood-curdling. John R. Barrows, Nell’s devoted ad- mirer, rode a kiddie car very successfully and boasted a lovely moystache. THE PATSY The Patsy, which was given at the I. 0. 0. F. Hall Saturday night. May 21, portrayed the humorous story of a society family at odds. After much scrapping and wrangling on the part of Maw and Pav , and much plotting on the part of Grace and Pat, Paw asserts himself and acts like a regular husband. The entire family enjoy life thereafter. In the final scene Tony Anderson, once devoted admirer of Grace, and the object of all Patricia’s af- fections, pops the question, and pat answers, Donrt be afraid to ask me, Tony I’ve had the answer ready for the last five years. 'The cast of char- acters £ollows in another section 6 1 DECLAMATION The Fifth. Annual Declamatory Contest was held at the I. 0. 0. F. Hall Monday night, April 18. More contestants entered this year than ever before, twelve in all The nature of the selections varied from serious to humorous Some of the points upon which the judges based their decision were: the contestants understanding of the piece, contact with the audience, and clear- ness and distinctness of enunciation® Marjorie Histine was awarded first place, the prize being the usual trip to Missoula. Lucia Lewis carried off second place, and she received the Kay Memorial Medal. Several contestants were chosen to represent the school in the contest at Lewistown® The evening s speaking was supplemented by several pieces played by mem- bers of Mrs. White’s orchestra. The stage was arranged as a drawing room and ms.de an attractive background for the speakers. Altogether the evening was assuredly a success. PBOC-HAM Piano Duet, Garden of Boses.

Barrows, Yawning silence followed a sweetly appreciative hour devoted to the con- templation of America s place in the field of invention. Steele said, This inventive business is all right if it doesn’t become chronic The Professor here can scheme and plan that machine of his for adding, subtracting and mul- tiplying and it doesn t do any harm and ever since Sonny hurt his back lift- ing on a wagon wheel, itfs perfectly natural for him to try and invent some other way of greasing a wagon I am somewhat of an inventor myself. Some- where back in the Miocene age, when I was much younger, I took my best girl out buggy riding. The team had a skirmish with an outpost of hornets and by the time the affair was settled, two things were broken—a buggy wheel and the engagement. Before it was time for me to pull off the sticking plaster I had invented a duplex, automatic singletree release, but that is as far as I got with it. Sol Harkness had an attack of ingenuity when he was a kid and it set in. He never did get over it. He had a sheep ranch on Swimming Woman, it s the !.racgregor place now. He ought to have made money in sheep, but his soul yearned for better things; he was always thinking and inventing. I worked there one fall getting out poles for a sheep shed. The place was full of all sorts of contraptions; there were little whirligig figures over the cook- stove and toy windmills stuck up on fence posts and every where. He had a big round table he had built himself with a merry-go-round contrivance in the middle to put the grub on; you didn’t have to pass anything; the bill of fare was on the turn table and all you had to do was to turn that thing around to what your sentence was going to be. It looked pretty clever to me but one of the fellows told me that they had an awful mixup in shearing time. They had a big crew and when they were all sitting around the table there was no chance for science, it was fighting from start to finish. I don’t know whet- her it was an overload or not, but the table was inclined to stick, that is the revolving part of it and one fellow on the other side wanted something else and they began to pull against each other. Finally one of them let go and the whole smear went off on a tangent. Everybody took it goodnaturedly, he said, except the man who got a bowl of hot gravy in his lap. There was a wonderful automatic, gate between the ram pasture and the hay corral. It was Harkness’ own invention and this fellow explained it to me. If you wanted to go in the gate, all you had to do was to drive a little bit haw and.hit a great big wooden trigger about two feet high with your nigh wheel; that worked a long lever that tilted a long pole and the gate rolled open on big wooden wheels. HQien you got thru, if you were lucky enough to hit another trigger that big overhead pole would come down and the gate would roll shut and latch itself with a big wooden latch. There was lots of hard work in that gate. I’ll bet It would take a man a month to build one and he would have to be clever too. The main part of the gate was built of lodge- pole pines, about six inches apart and when the gate was shut, ihe end of each pole plugged right into a hole in the gate post, bored especially for it. This fellow said the gate had pretty near killed Sol, one day when he Yjas down there tinkering with it. He had the gate rolled back and was chiselling away at the gate post when his old milch cow began scratching herself on one of the triggers and turned the gate looser It whanged shut before Sol got in the clear and caught his head between two of the poles. He was down on his hands and knees with his head sticking thru the gate, totally helpless altho he wasn’t hurt much He yelled bloody murder for a while, but he was a long ways from the house and nobody heard him. Then that fool cow came over to investigate. She was gentle and she was inquisitive. First she smelled of Sol's bald head for a while, then she began to lick it. Sol tried to scare her away, but it was no use. I guess human perspiration is salty all right. Finally he got desperate and remembered that she was afraid of the dog, so he commenced barking and growling. Now, wouldn't you think that was misery enough for one day? Well, his troubles were just commencing, lihile Sol was bucking and bawling and kicking up his heels the rams were not paying any attention to him, except one. There was one old devil, who had been raised around the house, a kind of a pet, and his morals had been corrupted. Ee was too quarrelsome for any use. He meandered over towards the excitement, and after he had studied the situation for a while, about the time that Sol ready to bite the cow, he turned himself loose and hit the old man so hard, that he forgot all about the cow. There is no telling what would have happened if this fellow hadn't come up the creek, just then, and released the gate. AWhile I was there, Sol was working on an improved scarecrow. The coy- otes were bothering a good deal and they didn't pay any attention to the old fashioned scarecrow, but he said that what was needed was something self mov- ing and he was the man to invent something. All the time we v ere building a shed, he was at work on his self-propelled scarecrow. He set up two long poles about fifty yards apart, along the south side of the garden and strung some wires between them and rigged up a homemade windmill to run the thing His scarecrow hung from the wires and he had it arranged so that it would go back and forth from one end of its beat to the other. This part of his work wasn't much trouble to him, he said, it was just as easy for him as spitting down a well. The main nart of the invention was the scarecrow; he used to talk about it a good deal and argue. He believed that man was endow- ed with a superior brain and if an ornery coyote got the best of him it ms because the man didn't really bring his brain into action. He made a wonder- ful dummy with a painted face and a piece of buffalo robe for whiskers; he rigged the thing out with his own clothes, pretty decent clothes too, because he said that he wanted it to look like him and he ranted it -to smell like him. He had two or three old army overcoats, that ms something he always wore in cold weather and he put one of these on the dummy and tied a wooden gun on its shoulder. It was a wonderful counterfeit all right and the darned thing worked. The first day that he rigged it up we didn't do much of any- thing except to watch it. Vdien the wind would freshen it would go down the swale and up the little rise to the other post as if the Indians were after it and whirl around the end and back again as if it had forgotten something. Sometimes it would stop and think things over and once in a while it would hack up for a few feet, when an eddy of wind would hit the windmill in the rear. But it worked. I'll say that for it. It worked so darned well, that Sol lost his ranch. Sol owed some money and needed a lot more, I guess every body is in the same fix and he had been trailing along after a sod widow, who had just realized on her husband. She ms visiting at the KacGregor place down the creek and Sol had just talked her into lending him three thousand dollars. A day or two after the mechanical sentry was put in operation the f o«se==§)(i$==ss3o widow drove up from MacGregor’s with that quiet old team of his hooked onto a spring wagon. She was nearsighted, hut she fetched up alongside of the scarecrow with both horses snorting and she couldn’t make them go. She rec- ognized Sol all right. There he v as as big as life, whiskers aa4 overcoat and all, standing still but not making a move to help her She spoke to him and asked him to see what v as the matter with the horses, but he didn’t say a word, nor make a move except to nod and sway a little, and just then there came a puff of wind and the dummy rushed at the team, kicked up its heels and started away on the other tack. The v idow and the team sjid the spring wagon held together all right, but they didn’t stop until they landed in a patch of bull berries just across the creek from Mac’s place.

LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN The man, who is striving to excel in his particular field of activity, no matter what that field may he, has always before him a worthy example in Abraham Lincoln. In his life time Lincoln did many, many things and he did them all well. As a rail-splitter, as a lawyer, as President of the United States, he surpassed all others Indeed, some people consider Lincoln the greatest American. XJertanm ilfc is that he was a great American, and his own People, at least, should be more familiar with his life; the things which helped to make him great and good. The character of Lincoln, the boy, Lin- coln, the youth, is very much the character of Lincoln, the President. Even his penmanship was distinctly like that of his youthful days, when he struggled to master the art of writing by copying over and over again a little verses Abraham Lincoln His hand and his pen He will be good but God knows when. Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States, and the man fam- ous as the freer of the slaves, was horn in LaBue County, Kentucky, Fqb- urary 12, 1809. His birth place was a log cabin, a log cabin which had one room, one window, one door, and only the good, hard earth for a floor. When Abe, as the boy was generally called, was 7 years old he moved, together with his family, to Indiana. They settled near a small village called Gentryville. It was here that Lincoln received about one year of actual school-room training, and that year was divided and spread over sev- eral years. He learned to read, to write, and to work sums. Yet Lincoln was a master of the Ehglish language. His familiarity with the very best literature doubtless accounts for this, and then, he had his mother, and such a mother! Nancy Hanks Lincoln was surely the type that God meant all mothers to be. She possessed a fair education and this she passed on to her illustrious son. Three books constituted Lincoln’s first library, The Bible, Aesop’s Fables, and Pilgrim’s Progress. These he knew by heart. When Lincoln was a lad of nine his mother died, of a strange and ter- rible sickness, the milk-sick. Conditions did not even permit a respec- table burial, but her life had not been lived in vain, hard as her lot had been for into the character of Abraham she had instilled holiness, honor, bburage, gentleness, and respect for himself. To her memory Lincoln paid every possible tribute and homage. A long and lonely winter followed the death of Nancy Hanks, and in the springtime Abe’s father brought a new mother into the home, a widow of some means, who was educated, and who, which is far more r?ortant, had a kind and loving heart. Lincoln, the youth, was physically very, very strong. He v;as six feet and four inches tall. Though he worked hard on the farm now, he did not; neglect the developing of his mind. He wrote, read, and attempted speeches of a sort. Lincoln made his first trip down the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers -when he ms nineteen. In 1830 Thomas Lincoln moved his family to Illinois, and, after help- ing them settle, Abraham started out in life for himself. Ke, and two oth- er boys, took a cargo of merchandise to New Orleans for a man called Denton Offutt. It was on this trip that Lincoln formed his first and everlasting hatred for slavery. Returning from Hew Orleans to Hew Salem, Illinois, Of- futt offered Abe a position in his store as a clerk. In this occupation he was very popular. His honesty was known everywhere and likewise his court- eousness and attention. His position allowed him some time for reading, and he made good use of it. Especially did he become interested in poetry. About this time the Black Hawk Tar broke out. Lincoln volunteered as ft soldier and was chosen Captain of his back wood regiment. He took no part in the actual fighting, but this is the nearest that he ever came to being a military man. After the war he first became a postmaster, and then a surveyor. Those who are romantically inclined will find the love story of Lin- coln life both beautiful and pathetic. TThile he was still a citizen of Hew Salem, he became engaged to Ann Rutledge, a girl of wonderous beauty and sweetness. Shortly before they were to have been married, she died, and Lincoln was heart-broken. So grieved was he that his friends feared for his sanity. The memory of his first love remained with him always. In 1830 Lincoln entered politics. Two years later he ran again for legislature and was this time successful. From this time on politics be- came his one and only occupation. The people were content to elect him again and again, as long as he desired to hold office. Lincoln was now residing in Springfield. This town he chose as his home as long as he lived. He entered lay and mastered it thoroughly. He could be depended upon to win any case he took, but he accepted only those which he thought were right and justifiable. He had several partners in the law business, all of whom profited by his partnership. His last col- league was Herndon. Their association was maintained throughout his life. For a time he was on the circuit, travelling from place to place on horse- back, or in a buggy. His fine sense of humor served him well here. His stories always drew and held the attention of any court. When Lincoln was thirty he met Miss Mary Todd, a cultured girl, who ma.de up her mind at once that he was her man, and soon had him thinking so. On November 4th, 1842, he married her. They were a very happy r couple, though the sweet vision of Ann Rutledge never quite faded from his memory. Four sons were born to Lincoln; but one of them grew to manhood; Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest of the four. The question of the Missouri Compromise11 arose, and Lincoln, as a hater of slavery, was intensely interested. Douglas, another prominent man of the times returned to his home in Illinois, and here he and Lincoln met in the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates. ? r = o Lincoln was defeated when he ran for senator. Indeed, there were many times when he met with defeat politically, but perhaps if he had been suc- cessful in these ventures, he would never have been President of the United States. Abraham Lincoln did not push himself into the presidency. His modesty held him back for several years. He might have been chosen years before he was, had he desired to fight for the position, but he did not. A famous speech, on slavery, which he made in Hew York was the thing which actually put him before the people. In lay, of 1860, he was nominated by the Rep- ublican Convention for president. He had four rivals in the election; among them his old enemy, Douglas. The campaign which followed was furious and hot. Among the slave states Douglas had an excellent following, but more and more people turned their favor to the rai1-splitter. In Feb- ruary, 1861, it was duly announced that Abraham Lincoln had been elected by a good majority of votes. Febursry 11, 1864, after bidding an affectionate farewell to his many friends in Springfield, Lincoln, and the presidential party of about a dozen people, started for Washington. Several stops were made on the way and the new president made short speeches. His inaugural address was simple and quite short. Like his other speeches it gripped the heart of those who heard it, and made them forever his fast friends. Even Douglas forgot his enmity and pledged himself to support Lincoln. In society Abe was a complete failure. At first people were extremely polite to him, he was president, but the warmth which the poor and common people had for him was missing in Washington social circles. His ir- resistible friendliness and cleverness of speech soon made a place for him in the hearts of Washington's sophisticated society leaders. Lincoln showed great wisdom and skill in choosing his cabinet. Most of the things which he undertook to do were first disapproved of by his as- sociates and then applauded. In the end they were forced to admit that the backwoods president was capable and efficient if not a genius. The slave question grew more and more pronounced. Immediately after the election, states started seceding from the Union. South Carolina was the first. The South under the direction of General Beauregard fired the first shot of the Civil ¥ar at Fort Sumter. The South was well prepared for the war, having looked for it for years. On the other hand, the North was so fired with patrotism that an army ms quickly assembled. In deadly earnest ms the war fought. Upon Lincoln fell innumerable burdens and cares. He executed his duties with gentle dignity, ms ever patient and willing, and took upon himself many responsibilities that others would have shirked, or transfered to the shoulders of another. Toward the South he had no bitter feelings. He was their friend, and would have done all with- in his power to aid in their reconstruction. Personal as v ell as national griefs came to Lincoln during the war. Two of his little hoys died. Some of his most intimate friends were taken by bul- lets, but he never forget his duty to his country. The war went on. Sometimes the North was victorious and sometimes the South. In the war Lincoln saw his chance to strike at slavery. He hated it as much as he could hate anything, and on September 22, 1862, the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, freeing all the slaves in that part of the $n'ion which had rebelled. This did not end the war. It wearied on and the people sickened of war and waste. The Union had either to stand or to fall and it sometimes looked as though it would fall. The battle of Gettysburg really ended the Civil War. After that the hope of peace was in sight. April 9, 1865 the war ended. The South had been de- feated, and the South was glad to give up. Their beautiful homes had been wrecked. Poverty and sorrow wes everywhere manifest, and the armies were now mostly composed of old men, and very young lads. Lincoln did not crow over his vanquished, but with all sympathy toward them, began making plans for their reconstruction. So the South came to know him and to love him as did the North. On the fourteenth day of April, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated. Many attempts had been made on his life, but God and fate had kept him alive until his work was done. On the night of the fourteenth, he and Mrs. Lincoln, Major Rothbone, and Miss Harris attended the theatre. About ten o'clock Lincoln was shot to death by a young actor, J. Wilkes Booth. The president was carried to a small hotel opposite the theatre, but he never regained consciousness. The following morning he died. His murderer was trapped and killed. Abraham Lincoln was laid to rest in his old home at Springfield, on May 4th. The whole country mourned the loss of him. The South was as grief stricken as the North, and those who had hated him in life mourned him in death.

All the high schools in the United States wishing to do so are eligible for entrance. A bronze medal is given to each school to be presented to the student who writes the best essay in each school. The Seniors and Juniors of the American History Class all prepared essays in the Buffalo High School. The essays were collected, after about six weeks of preparation had been given them, and given to the judges. Miss Castleman and Miss Larson. The foregoing essay, by Hope Ristine. was av arded the medal, and the essays by Ellen Frost and Gladys Oliver were given honorable mention. ) nTHE STOBM GHOST” or IN 'THE CLUTCHES OF PIE” Darkness prevailed. All about was a ghastly silence. Nck. � mend- ly hoard cracked loud enough to relieve the stillness. A shrieking torrent of wind tore through the time-worn cracks in the mouldering walls and floor and groaned off through the shadowy pines® A hashful moon peeked from behind a sinister storm cloud and immediately retired. That brief ray of light never pierced the chill sableness of the night, but left it darker than be- fore Then the sky was ripped by leaping lightening and almost simultaneous- ly a faint mumble from the dark distance burst into a fierce crash of thunder. Startled by the sudden noise a. drowsy panther screamed at the stormy sky. In answer from the other side of the hill came the beastly howl of his mate. Again the thunder boomed and yet again. Then in the rush of the winds was heard a sobbing, childish voice. Oh, Mai” The sobs continued, never pausing; while the waters dashed against the window pane and drove furiously into the room. Fiercer and fiercer grew the resounding rage of the storm. Again the night was lighted with livid flames for a fraction of an instant. The thunderTs echoing bellow reverberated through the hills. Then for a moment all was soundless except for the sobs. The lapse covered but an instant and the infuriated elements crashed to- gether in greater anger than before. The agitated pines flung wildly against the stormy sky like orators in the heat of the argument. On a sudden a long, blood-curdling yell like that of a cugar came to the ears of the frightened boy. A long, vapory form leaked in through a v idening crack. The vapor took form slowly and with precision. A long, white cloak, a great peaked hood presented themselves first, gigantic hollow eyes, burning with ghostly evans— cent green, appeared in the frightful forehead, long bony fangs took place in the cadaverous jaws. The ghost, or whatever you may wish to call this hor- rible monstrosityj shook a long sinuous forefinger at the trembling boy and pointed with the other hand toward the streaming window which crashed into several thousand fragments.. The lad shrank back into the corner with a startled cry. The ghost em- mitting a yell more ungodly than the one before siezed the child with clammy claws. The wind howled with a vengeance and the rain seemed to have a multi- 4 tude of icy fingers which clutched him as he passed. The ladfs blood seemed fairly to freeze as he felt himself lifted upward through the chilly blank� His body was next to the substanceless form of the ghost and his ears were pierced with a dull rattling which resembled a rattle snake or perhaps a noisy rustling of dry leaves, but which, I suppose, must be called its heart Ages passed, but slowly, and the ghost still rose upward. Then suddenly a queer, turbulent light burst upon the sight of the boy. Wierd green and spectral purple coursed around and about the quaintly-shaped lamps which burned some unknown substance. By the light of the palid flames the boy saw a ghoulish assembly of monsters which sat around in a very impatient mood They were evidently waiting for our special ghost, for, on his arrival, they all set up something which might pass for a joyous clamour, but more nearly resembled a howling of winds and the rushing of rain. Our ghost set the blubbering child down in the midst of the horrible fiends. Then from some- where came the wild screeching of violins and the hoarse bellow of a viol mingled with the shrill screaming of flutes and a thunderous rumble of a giant drum. The whole group began slowly, then faster, faster, till it seem- ed that there was an almost shapeless mass whirling savagely around in per- fect steps to the horrible music. A hideous old banshee hobbled gleefully about on one withered shank her partner, a r easened dwarf in vane colored pantaloons and yellow waist- coat, frisked gaily along, holding to her with one hand and his long stick with the other. There were giants, tall and brutal looking. There were witches and hateful old hags mingled with shrivled dwarves and gobblins. Truly this was a witches Sabath. Fiendish joy and rapture at the barbarous screams of the violin, and above all hunger, hunger for the trembling child in the midst, shown on the distorted physiognomies of that beastly crew. Wilder and louder grew the revolutions—perhaps it was a Death Dance Suddenly out dropped an old woman with a dusting cap. Her nose, like the witches1 in the story, was nearly three ells long. Deep routes of time passed over and over like a road map of some densly populated city. To com- plete her spiteful appearance, one long fang peered cautiously over her shrunken jaws as if to compare its beauties with those of its surroundings. This delightful old female rushed violently at our hero and picked him up. Then the music grew fainter; the witches ring vanished; the dancing green and shivery lights vanished, and a sweet, well-remembered voice sound- Oh, Teddy, how could you? Yes, I know, but I told you, dear, that you shouldnTt eat any more of that pie.” THE JUDITH BASIN AN IDEAL GIRL What is so rare as a perfect day In our good old Judith Basin? Where the snow falls deep while the grizzlies sleep. And the cold winds go a racin'. The coyote watches the shivering steer As he turns his tail to the bliz- zard. And thinks of the sheep that lie in a heap. And the lamb that lies in his gizzard. The strong winds howl round little shacks That house our population. It?s the place to go if you like snow Itfs the best place of our nation. Olyde Avery SIGNS OF SPRING The children are so full of joy. There is a pleasure for each joy5 For some will now a sramming go, And others like a boat to row. The birds are singing merrily. There is a bud on every tree. The sky is always bright and clear, And snow storms do not interfere. Even the grass looks fresh and green, Uith here and there a flower seen. The squirrels in the forests play, And brooks flow on with out delay. The snow now does not block the roads. We all may watch for fish and toad; Now there are others we may bring. But these are many signs of spring. Blanche Galey With eyes as blue as April skies And teeth as white as pearls And hair-« nj£thing that money buys Is equal to those curls. Oh, mature thought of bearty rare And carved those lips so sweet, Whose tender thrilling kiss doth share. My happiness complete. Ruth Spurgeon THE VICTIM Is there some one who cares a bit for me? If so let him not hesitate to come. And help me with my lessons for a while As spring has come to take up all my time. Of these things think for just a little vdiile. And I am sure you will be kind hearted. Then have those teachers quit as- signing work. For spring is here and has us in its thrall. Willis A. Noel MAY A gentle Maytime come at last. Brought April showers with a blast; That chills each flower to the heart, And makes them wish most with a start That they were closer to a world V.here cold winds never were unfurl- edo And that instead they could be warm, With gentle breezes from another clime. But no, these thoughts are never theirs. For they are breathing Maytime praye Ray Riggs SPOSTSE NSEIP Sportsmans 111 p as defined by Webster is the ability or quality of being fair and generous in sports; and a good sportsman is one, -who in sports, is fair and generous. He is a good loser and a graceful winner. This might well he applied to students in high school life, in both classroom and ath- letics. A good sportsman is always conscientious and works hard while study- ing, and never maintains a prejudiced attitude toward any of his class work. He never uses any base or deceitful means of getting his lessons, or copies from his fellow students instead of doing the work himself. It is his duty to be fair in all his examinations and try to develop that desired habit. In athletics we have a certain code that a sportsman should follow, and his aim should be to have these rules become a part of his character. This code of honor is as follows: He keeps the rules; He keeps faith with his comrades and plays the game for his side; He Keeps himself fit; He keeps his temper; He keeps his pride under in victory; He keeps a stout heart in defeat accepted in good grace; He keeps a sound soul and a clean mind in a healthy body. Good sportsmanship is a characteristic that every one should admire, and strive to make become a part of your own private life, and personalty. A pergon can observe these rules in his dealings v ith every one about him. 'fo you the term sportsmanship should mean that everyone is worthy of your consideration and thought. A guide for attaining the quality of sportsmanship is as follows: Elay the game for the sake of the gsjne. Play for your side and not for yourself. Be unselfish and always ready to teach others. Be a good winner and a good loser—be modest in victory and generous jn defeat. 'Then a spectator, cheers good play on both sides, but never interferes v ith the referee or player.

It is the custom of a minister in a certain town to read in church the re- quest for the prayers of the congregae tion. Not long ago the minister was ab- sent and a city clergyman, who did not know the custom, officiated in his place� At the usual time the deacon hand- ed the notices to the minister, ex- plaining what was to be done with them In a few moments the congregation was startled to hear: A man going to see his wife de- sires the prayers of the congregation for his safe return. The notice really read: A man go- ing to sea, his wife desires the pray- ers of the congregation for his safe return.
