In the six and one half months between the time the bonds were voted and the day school work began in the new building a long and interesting page for this community was written Events came so swiftly cne upon the other it was difficult to grasp just what all was talcing place It might have appeared to the casual onlooker that the people had sudden- ly drawn themselves together in order to finish a big task so quickly This, of course, is true enough, but it is only half truth. There are some who suppose, in accordance with the above facts that, the build- ing was begun July 22 but that too is but a small part of the truth. The real and true foundation for the beautiful commodious building, so admirably adapted to the needs of the youth of Buffalo and vicinity was laid forty and more years ago by the Barrows’, the Whites’ and the Edwards’ Such as these and others with the true pioneer spirit began to build homes, churches and schools while battling against the ele- ments; the fruits of their labors have taken definite form Others followed, intensely interested in the same things, but striving at the same time to give their children advantages in keeping with the spirit of the time. You may come and judge now—you may come and compare— you may come and investigate and you will find that the people of this community have done remarkably well by their children, offering' them advantages ec.ua 1 to those found anywhere in Montana The dream has been realized and today a beautiful ten room school building, modern in every respect, imposingly and proudly stands as a monument to the people who, with unlimited faith, toiled and planned to brine; it to pass i X v x s 7 ' Ts ' V ' s I j; i; ' ' 7 7 L CLASS 0F_;22 Lucille Wilder Roy Smith Josephine Kring Roy Brim Charles Howard purhman Smith CLASS OF 24 Robert Oliver Merle Skinner CLASS OF 26 Bernard Ristine Raymond Kelly Ida Belle Grissom Pearl Hammer Pearl Luhrn Ristine Milton Olson Dorothy Hart McKinley V ' y 7y _ v ' $ £ £ CLASS OF ’23 Mattie Phillips CLASS OF '25 Madge Coppock Esther Cromer George Spurgeon Hazel Avery Marie Wernli Kjellgrin CLASS OF r27 Lillie Mae Hammer Ethel Galey Hope Ristine Gladys Oliver Victor Reimers Willis Noel ! ! ’____________________________________________________________________________ ✓ ; ft , w 'e A HIGH SCHOOL FACJJUPY MARY KELSON CHAS.

V SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 8, 1924 a shio c st its anchor at t’;. door of t c Bu'falo -tig1 ' School, and landed ten green looking children who ran in to the school house, taking seats in the Freshmen section. ' h n the roll was called they cave their names as: La Verne Fairbanks, Thelma Crabtree, Lester Olson, Raymond Rigrs, Donald Noel, Laurence Barrows , Nicholas Noel, Ernest Lest berg, Albert Yfestberg and Wilbur McDonald. During the early stage of development the last three were smitten with brain fever and dropped from the enrollment of the class. At first the rest of the students thought we were pretty green but changed their inds when Thelma Crabtree walked off with the declamatory honors and three of our midst, Ray Riggs, Laurence Barrows and Lester Olson, .ere on the basketball squad. LaVerne Fairbanks was one who represented B. H. S. at Bozeman. The second time the ship anchored there were two new passengers , Frances Cat on and Charles ...iller. That year Charles Miller with the rest, played basketball. Laurence Barrows and Lester Olson were in the Senior play. Nicholas Noel was sent as a delegate to the Vocational Conference• As Juniors, we lost three of our cls ss--Charles Miller, .urence Barrows and Thelma Crabtree, but Ellen Frost was a new student among our midst. All of our boys were on the regular squad and Frances Cat on on the girls basketball team, so you can see that we were well represented in athletics. Again re were represented in Bozeman by Don Noel and Ray Riggs. In the fall of 127 the ship anchored never to return again. These who enrolled were: Frances Caton, Hazel Best, Evelyn Olson, Donald Noel, Nicholas Noel, LaVerne Fairbanks nd Ray Riggs. During the entire year we, as Seniors, h ve excelled in all activities. All of our girls played on the regular basketball squad as also did our boys fight for the Blue and White. Our Carnival proved to be a success and Frances Caton was crowned Queen of Buffalo High School. To the Girls Vocational Conference Evelyn and Frances were our represent- at ivc s. The 1928 Annual has been the climax of our endea ors. We have boon guided through our hi.gh school days by Mr. Mattill, Mi s s Moen, Miss Zehnder and Miss Nelson. Our school days arc gone but not forgotten. May you never forget us, the class of 28. x s y s y y V y y y S S S s y y y y s y a y s y 4_______________„_____________________ ' sy Z y y y y y y y y y y y y y y y. £ ' ,- .- y • jj H git 4 ) ■' I ' JLA2S OP 'ZQ Listen, dear readers, while I relate The story of the class of f28 On the twelfth of September entered this class, Determined all others to surpass. Prances was chosen to steer the ship And everyone else their oar did dip; She guided us with unfailing hand, And everpresent hope of reaching land. Then came Don, the bashful one Always jolly and full of fun. Basket Ball is his delight In all the games his beet did fight. Next is Hazel, stately and tall. In all her studies she never did fall. As editor of the Booster for half a year, Tapped out for herself a promising career. . In our quartet Verne always shown. Throughout the country his fame is known. All look upon him with due esteem As a member of our Buffalo Basketball teem. Vho comes next, why Nick, the lad, Eefs not all good, nor not all bad As center of our invincible five He never did falter and always did strive. Evelyn played her part in music and song, Thus mrking our voyage seem far from long; As editor of Annual and Booster she faithfully served Her praises for Basketball were not undeserved. And last, but not least, of Hay do we speak, A lad whose praises we often repeat. As captain of basketball he gave to his men An example of loyalty our honor to defend. And re seven Seniors of Buffalo High, Are launched upon the ocean, all barriers to defy, The harbor just behind us, the tide is going out ’ c shall reach the port in safety, without a fear or doubt. ZL-Z_, _Z _ _Z S z x s ' y A Y v 'A • ✓ ' Z miI E SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Time—A moonlight evening in 1938.. Place—A beautiful suburban home situated on Washington Drive, West Buffalo. The house is ablaze with lights; from the open doors and French windows, emits soft music giving evidence that the Buffalo stringed orchestra is present. The expansive lawn is dimly lighted by colored lanterns, hanging from the trees; behind a clump of trees and beautiful shrubbery, facing a marble fountain, is a rustic bench. Characters—Various members of the class of 1928. A sophisticated young lady and a very handsome young man are seen strolling slowly to- ward the bench. Hazel Best: Doesn’t it seem like old times to have the old class together again. Just think, ten years ago to-night we graduated from dear old Buffalo High and this is the first time that we have all been together since. 7fasnft it kind of Evelyn and LaVerne to invite us here to their beautiful home for class reunion? Hasn’t it been interesting to know what everyone has been doing? From the appearance of this place LaVerne has certainly been successful as a real estate dealer. And Evelyn is just as sweet as she always was, but I wouldn’t have known her if I hadn’t seen her while at a friends’ heme last week. They had a television receiving set and I saw her as well as heard her sing. You know she often broadcasts over the radio. But come Don, tell me what you have been doing since you left high school. Donald Noel: Well, you know I always did have a desire to spe- cialize in agriculture and went to Bozeman for four years. After being graduated there I was sent to Washington D C —that was four years age. I worked in an office there for two years and then was appointed Secretary of Agriculture of :he United States. I wrote to tell you the geed news but my letter was returned and I later learned you were abroad. Hazel: Oh, I’ve been working all the time, let me tell you. I started cut as an interior decorator in Rocky Spur, which you know is a suburb of our renowned Buffalo, as a means cf achieving a start in my career as an artist. Then I became anxious to travel and study my work in other fields. Consequently, I’ve ben attending the Ecole des [ ' ' A A A . z y ' ' ' . s 1 A Beaux-Arts in Paris, for the last four years. Last month, I received orders to return to the U. S. for the purpose of securing one of the original Rembrandts. Philo on the ship I received a cablegram from Evelyn asking me if I couldn't arrange to come to Buffalo. Although my other work demanded attention I couldnft resist the temptation of stopping off for the class reunion. By the way, what's Nick doing? I haven't seen him yet tonight. Donald: Well you know he al 'ays did have a great interest in Yellowstone National Park and secured a position there the summer after we were graduated. He started in as a guide but finally reached his goal and is now General Superintendent of the Park. He has his dirigible The Buffalo at the flying field and to top off the reunion he has planned a trip for us all through the Yellowstone. But I'm dy- ing to know something about Frances. Hazel: Oh, haven't you seen her? She was looking all over for you. Sho's just the scone old Fritz of our school days, in spite of all her fame. You remember when we gave our Carnival back in 1928, and she was crowned Queen of Buffalo. It is rumored that she will soon be crowned Queen of Rumania. At first sho entered politics and was appointed U. S. Ambassador to Rumania where she met the Prince. She is now engaged in great social welfare work in that country, and came back here for a visit to her folks before her fiance claimed her for his own. YYho is that coming across the lawn, h'c looks familiar doesn't he? 1 hy it's nobody but Ray, the old sinner. Hello, Ray, come on over and give an account of yourself for the past ten y ars. Ray: HelloJ Hello, yourself I What have I be _n doing? Well, you'd be surprised. First, I went to Bozeman and specialized in Physical Culture. For three years I was Captain of tho Bobcats and for the last five years, I have boon Athletic Director in tho exclusive Girls' School at Hendon. My Girls' Basket ball team has won the State Champ- ionship for the last two years. But let's go back and join the rest of the gang and you can tell me about yourselves on the way back.

H. S., the members were: Syble Olson, Blanche Galey, Ethel Steel, John Cromer, George Saunders, Bale and Marvin Phillips, John Luhm, and Marjorie Ristine. The next year the class was a great deal smaller, leaving Blanche Galey, Bale and Marvin Phillips, John Cromer, and Marjorie Ristine. Clyde Avery from Moore was the only new member. The third year Blanche Galey left us, but the rest remained, mak- ing a srna.ll but mighty class. This class has won many honors of which we can be proud. As Freshmen both Marjorie and Blanche played on the basketball team. Marjorie entered the declamation contest and was the representative for Algebra I at the County Track and Scholastic Meet in Lewistown, winning second place. As Sophomores, again Marjorie and Blanche played on the girl’s basketball team, and Bale also was playing on the boys team that year. Both girls entered declamation and Marjorie was awarded first place, winning the trip to Missoula. John took part in the play which was entered in the Little Theatre Tournament at Missoula, under the direc- tion of Miss Zehender. Blanche, John and Clyde were on The Booster Staff. This year left us with not many honors. Marjorie and Dale both played on the basketball teams. Marvin was on the Booster Staff. Then last, but not least the 1923 Junior prom uroved to be a real success 7 . . - ' : ] A ; A I v n _. i_ .. v v vv n v v ' ' v ' s v s y y x------ V v ' ' j ' ■ • S x x X x' X X X X X x X X X X X X X X X ■ t ! i J-J—Lu - SOPHOMORE PRESIDENT----------------------------•-----LORRAINE RUNG- VICE PRESIDENT---- —----------------------- —DAN SELLECK SECRETARY---- -----------—-----------------RUTH SPURGEON CLASS REPORTER-------•---- ------------- ——IVAN ABBOTT SPONSOR----------------- —---------------—----MISS 7 AIT ip y|ig3 afnprniwwi .

S. tried to make themselves as inconspicuous as possible by cringing in out-of-the-way places. They gazed with rounded eyes at the pompous Seniors, the haughty Juniors and the intelligent appearing Sophomores. ’That? You4ve guessed it I They were what we all hate to admit we once were. Envious Freshies! Charles Frost, Dan Selleck, Esther Frost, Ivan Abbott, John Grif- fith, John R. Barrows, John Luhm, Knolie Stevenson, Harold Stevenson, Lucia Lewis, Ruth Spurgeon and Lorraine Rung were the members of this class of f26-T27„ All except John Luhm finished the Freshman year of work together, gaining honors in various things beside their studies in spite of being so badly treated by the Sophomore class. As Sophomores we were twelve in number. There were s'vnc changes however in our classmates as Charles and Esther Frost were in Lewis- town and John Barrows had moved to California with his parent's. In their place Marguerite and Kathryn Hansen, Rubyc Olson and Perry Best were enrolled. When Basketball season opened four from our class went to prac- tice-: Dan, John, Rubyc and Ruth. After the first few weeks of prac- tice Lorraine became interested and joined the rest. Ruth, Rubyc and Dan played every game while Lorraine and John played less often, altho they wore dressed for play every game. At the basketball banquet Rubyc, Ruth and Den received, letters. Porry, our orator to be, took a leading part in the Senior play A Pair of Sixes1', and made a great name for himself as a lawyer. Ivan also took a part in the play. Rubyc, Porry and John all entered declamation, own against six others with his forceful reading of second place entitling him to the Kay Memorial Medal Declamation contest at Lewistown on May 23. Perry holding his Stronghcart won and a trip to the Knolie Stevenson was absent whan the class picture was taken. az . .a z a .a . 777 ' V n. . hY.lL a y 7 X X X X X FRESHMEN PRESIDENT-----------------------------------MARY SPURGEON VICE PRESIDENT--------------------------------JOHN MARTIN SECRETARY--------------------------------LAY RENCE MARTIN SPONSOR---------------------------------------MISS NELSON CLASS COLOR: CLASS MOTTO: Green an Gold Green but Growing CLASS FLOWER; X x X X X x X X X X X X X X X X X x X Mariposa Lily John Spurgeon, Martin, Richard Stevenson, Roy philpctt, Ruth Lewi3, Mary Elton Stevenson and Lawrence Martin.

Hazel Locney was married and left; Marvin Calicoat did not continue his school work more than a few weeks. Although our class was unexperienced in high school ways we took part in some activities. Mary Spurgeon played forward on the girls1 basketball team and was the only Freshman awarded a letter. Lawrence and John Martin, Elton and Richard Stevenson and Norman Wagner, altho they did not play on the main squad, showed their school spirit by faithful practicing, which will no doubt be of value to them in the years to come. Mary was also one of the declamation contestants and was awarded third place. She took part in the Declamation Contest in Lewistown.

H. 3 teams, was given in the basement of M. F Church, Saturday, Aarch 10. The teams were the guests, the dinner being prepared by the women of the Methodist Church. The (3-elor scheme was blue and white and the basket-ball motive 7r xS prominent throughout. Covers were laid for 100. The three course dinner, beginning at 7:10 and lasting for two hours was interrupted with songs, rounds and parodies of all sorts, nr. Mattill as leader and with Miss Gladys Olson at the piano. It was followed by a succession of toasts which were just about as keen and clever as the students could make them. People not familiar with the aptitude of B. H. 3. students would, we venture to say, have been greatly surprised at the after-dinner oratorical ability of all of them. 'Ve say their efforts were fine--nand we don!t moan maybe.1' Now they say the light of the Soul is the eye but when, we speak of Miss Jeanette Wait, the tcastmistress for this event, wc must con- cede to her eyes and cars, enough for a whole audience, for she saw everything, heard everything, and turned her quick wit into gems which were- the delight of tho entire audience. At the conclusion of the toasts, Mr, Mattill presented letters to the two teams. Those winning letters for the girls were: Evelyn Ol- son, Ruth Spurgeon, Marjorie Ristinc, Frances Catcn, Rubyc Olson, and Mary Spurgeon, and for tho brtys, Huy Riggs, Don Noel, Nicholas Noel, La Verne Fairbanks and Dan Scllcck. The teams, in turn, presented to Mr. Mattill, with Evelyn Olson as spokeswoman, a beautiful Masonic ring. A couple of hours of dancing at the high school followed and an- other delightful social ovent was recorded when the last strains of 11 Home Sweet Home1’ died away.

THE GLEE CLUBS OF BUFFALO HIGH SCHOOL Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast1’ said Congreve, and rre at Buffalo High School are beginning to realize the veracity of this statement YELth the arrival of a new teacher last fall, came also a score of new ideas for the joy and improvement of the students, and the entertainment of the community. Miss Hait, who initiated music as an extra-curricular activity at Buffalo High School, was pleasurably sur- prised when at her first call for voluntary members of a Girl’s Glee Club she discovered that every high school girl had responded. The organization was soon practicing twice a week, and the girls sang be- fore the assembly in the old building. However,our real debut came with the dedication of the new build- ing on December 22, 1928 when we gave ’’The Song of the Leaves.” After this wc found it difficult to find time to practice for the many events which occurred in rapid succession from Christmas until Spring. Different groups have been chosen at various times to sing special songs. Ruth Spurgeon, Rubye Olson, and Lorraine Rung in Japanese costume sang ’’Three Little Girls are We” and Frances Caton and Evelyn Olson also in costume sang, There is Beauty in the Bello of the Blast” both from the Mikado. The following are members of the Girls’ Glee Club: Sopranos: Evelyn Olson, Lorraine Rung, Ruth Spurgeon and Hazel Best. Altos: Frances Caton, Rubye Olson, Ruth Lewis, Katherine Hansen, Marguerite Hansen, Marjorie Ristine, Mary Spurgeon, and Lucia Lewis. BOY’S SEXTETTE ————— ....... — Soon after the organization of the Girls’ Glee Club, there devel- oped among the boys a growing feeling of envy, for when breathed a man with soul so dead, who never to himself hath said, ’I can sing. Miss Wait became aware of this attitude among the boys and be- gan by organizing a Boys’ Quartette which selected the name Apollo Club11 from the Greek God of Music. This organization made its first appearance at the Christmas program, and the enthusiastic applause which they received proved that their efforts to entertain were appre- ciated. From then on the Apollo Club has been in constant demand for various occasions such as the Vaudeville show, the program given at the Hall for the benefit of the Church and at Commencement, Some of the songs which they gave are, Cheric, Side by Side, On the March,Jane Three Kings of the Orient are Be, and She Don’t Wanna. The number of members has increased from four to six, and more are asking admission. The members at present are: Tenors: LaVorne Fairbanks, Ray Riggs; Basses; Ivan Abbott, Dale Phillips, Perry Be si and Lawrence Martin. Of course,” said Miss Wait, their instructor, ”we realize that we are far from perfect, but we believe that we are improving, and we are satisfied that the Apollo Club has been a suc- cess. ” A A, b s . . s s s . 4 ! ! . i K ! i i !

THE CARNIVAL Though the old school building always brings back happy reminis- cences of childhood and golden school days we must not overlook the memories of the evening of larch 2, 1928. The little yellow school- house was once again a scene of bedlam and confusion, after only a 7 f be.re three months of peace—the Seniorsof 28 were giving a Carnival. As one entered the building he w s immediately av-cre of the fret that he would have a big tine ” The din tos terrifying: Eight this way, folks!”, ”rrild mn from Africa!”, ”Kot dogs, ice-cream and can- dy!”, ”Stire win on the wheel!”, ”Kave your face renovated!”, Have our palm read!”, ”Check your wraps here!” vhen the excitement finally subsided the vaudeville ttr3 announc- ed. The boysf sextette displayed their ability, a dishwasher elo- quently gave a reading, Billy -: chorus girl too revealed to the audi- ence, Tildy characterized a typical Leap Year dame, lunatics per- formed, and Baby Beth shared her secrets with the audience. The cli- max of the evening came when Frances Cat on, Slrss of 28, was crowned B. E. S. Queen. The Carnival was a complete success, socially as well as finan- cially, and the Seniors can be ably ccnmended on their ability to ”put things over big.” ”A PAIR OF SIXES” Friday, April 13, the Senior Class play, ”A Pair of Sixes”, tt.s given for a large and appreciative audience. Two business partners, T, Boggs Johns and George B. Nett let on, are continually disagreeing and decide to dissolve partnership. A hand of show-down is played to decide who is to have charge of the business for one year, the loser to be the bu.tlcr of the winner. Johns loses and goes, as a butler, to the home of Nettleton. Finally every- thing is all cleared up when Florence-, Johns fiancee, proves that the contract is void, since poker is gambling. The cast vc.s as follow's: George B. Nettleton---—LaYerne Fairbanks T.

The school year began in very much the same way as in former years. Nothing particularly oxcit- ing recorded for the first day! The old building of course was the place—September 12 v as the day. A half old and half new faculty greeted the students, while about three-fourths old and one-fourth new students greeted the teachers. The exchange of greetings were quite as cordial as could be ex- pected in the cramped quarters of t he anc ient 1 andmark— 1 ong s inc e , as this is written, relegated to the discard. Really one would hardly know how a newcomer would feel to begin work for the first time in the place once called the Buffalo School house. By past ob- servations, hearts were observed to all but stop beating and only because new teachers had all but collapsed as they looked for the first time into the rooms where they were to carry on, were they prevented from taking chase at the ghost of a place called a school. Apologies were hardly in order but were nevertheless forth coming while the process of toning down infuriated new comers and stimu- lating paralyzed nervous system v as not the least of the duties of the Editor of this special edition of the Booster. An explanation of the methods involved could not be made—some things are too abstract and complicated to submit to blue- printing or diagrammatical re- presentation. ................hCit now it is dif- ferent! Oh yes it is! No heart failures now for the teachers v ho look for the first time on the building or in the rooms where ttiey will carry on their work for a school -term. The metropolitan air of the city proper may even stun future candidates somewhat, but they will hardly get beyond the point where some smelling salts a deep breath of fresh air and a good letter from home will not com- pletely revive them. And how thankful v e all are for this, yes more than that, how proud v e are that the old order no longer ex- isteth. The new order began December 9, 1927. For six months now we have literally reveled in the delights afforded by the new school build- ing with its large well lighted, well ventilated steam heated rooms new furniture and equipment. New science equipment, almost perfectly adapted for four sciences namely, General Science, Biology, Physics and Chemistry has bean. installed v ith a complete plumbing system for each of the multi- service tables. A fine fume hood for poisonous gases and an aquar- . ium complete the room. With this added as a part of the new system the Buffalo High School has made x a a' a a y y a y y a a a y y y y a y y a y y y y y A ' 777777777 7777777.

Other distinctive features are found throughout the building and it would require a personal inspection to fully see how well the details for each department have been met. Cue feature, which is all too often an after-thought in the con- struction of a public building, was planned while the building itself was going thru the same process, and is therefore, an in- tegral part of the same. Judging from the popularity of this con- trivance the students from all grades are prepared to skillfully make a rapid and safe exit through the tubular fire escape from the second floor to the ground level. But we can hardly be expected to devote so much valuable space of our edition to descriptions. We v ould simply have to start at the basement with its pressure water system, heating and light plants and dwell on everything there and every other room on up to the roof. But we must pass on. It has always taicen more than buildings to make a school and we find that additional element present this year. The high school enrollment is gradually creeping up—not phenomenally—but just slow and steady, each class being exception- ally well represented in numbers but one. And the work done by all classes seems to have been up to its usual high standard. As is customary the seniors take a leading part in all school affairs and with as fine a repre- sentation in the Class of T28 as has ever approached a graduation day, the present class is not an exception. In all lines of student endeavor they have made valuable contributions to the school. Their services for extra duties have been unstinted and faithful, and they are indeed a class the school may well be proud of. Seven of ’em—sure enough,and ye editor v ould like to. say a v ord about each one if he felt that the right thing could be said. Well here goes: Let’s begin with one of the older ones—not in age necessarily but in point of attendance in the Buffalo Schools. Such a one might well be LaVcrne Fairbanks, who has without a doubt the highest scholastic record among the boys. In trig he shone while others fell by the way-side—which is a real feat. If he chose to carry all the awards and scholarships he won before he got to high school, in his hip- pockets, the best pair of suspend- ers on earth would hardly support the strain. (Let it be remembered however that no pair of suspenders arc stronger than the weakest but- ton. ) In Chemistry he duplicates his mathematical record and v e predict for him an interesting as well as a profitable time when he enters the University next year. Don Noel might well follow for he is such a dependable chap and as fellows gomaV the:-woi et in; the v orld by any means. (There is one girl, so the fairies claim, who thinks he is the best but such questions are not debatable and should hardly be mentioned.) Don had done his TThitchTt in the B. H. S. and it must be stated with credit too. His class work has been uniformly satisfactory, while in basketball, he has been known to possess eyes in the back of his head—nobody with out eyes located there could make field goals as he did last winter. He deserves fur- ther honor for the pluck he has shown in sticking to his job for he has earned his way practically thru high school. We have no hes- itancy in predicting success for r N I £ i V i | la '' S' V W N X W -v; i T V I A k I ' 77 ' . ' him at college the coming year And now for fun let us pay our passing respects to one who come into the Buffalo High School as a Senior--Hazel Best. Her efforts in every respect have been on a high plane. She is an indefatiguable worker and in any proposal advancing the standards of the school she offers sensible constructive suggestions. On the Annual she has contributed many long overtime hours and if the pages could be segregated which she completed, then only, would one be able to estimate the con- tribution she has made. Because of what she has done for her class I and the school, we are sorry she did not decide to cast her lot with us sooner. The dimunitive member of the class is Frances Cat on and she too has always figured interestingly in all affairs both in school as well as out. Always popular and congenial with her classmates, she adds to every occasion. She is full of life, and lots of folks would call her a peppy11 student. In basketball she has proven her skill beyond a doubt and as a guard always baffled the most ag- gressive opponent playing opposite her. The Annual which is the most colossal undertaking of the Seniois has been enriched by her tireless efforts. What her plans for the future are we can't even guess but it wouldn't be at all surprising to learn with in a few years that she had completed a course in Home Economics and returned to the Buf- falo High to teach the same. Nicholas Noel, (that's the wey to spell it) is, contrary to popu- lar belief, a senior also. He confidently expects to be graduat- ed from the B. H. S. May 26. He is correct in that assumptioni11 Everything as far as he is con- cerned seems to be all done but the shoutin' and the passing of a ' I A ✓ ] few examinations. His cleverness, and studious demeanor? will stand him in good stead at that time we fully believe. Hick as the population so lovingly calls him will probably break more records than an elephant in a music store when he gets out in the big big world; and being always as tender as a trip hammer he will succeed immeasurably. With his skull cap properly spotted on his noble dome he walks up and down the halls, lonesome as Lindbergh in Paris. His placo in the B. H. S. will not be easily filled for there seems to be but one Nicholas Noel. Gradually wo are nearing the end of the list with one girl and one boy to talk about. The girl is Evelyn Olson. To many old friends of the school she is an unknown quantity, but to tho school she is anything but that. Having been with us but a year we havG missed tho opportunity of knov ing her as we do those who have spent throe or mere yoars in school. During that time however she has certainly made a big con- tribution to every plan, program or contest the high school stu- dents have stagod. Her class work has never been anything short of brilliant and what is mere invariably consistent. As captain of the girls' basketball team she led out in aggressive- ness , team play and accurate shooting ability, to help give the school the best girls team it ever had. On the annual staff she has done the editorial duties in a capable and enthusiastic way. She is headed for college and that means success for her also. The next and last number on the program is Ray Riggs. Unlike all other members of the class who have been in tho Buffalo school for from one to four years, he has been here for twelve, a distine- A I A y V 7 z' 7 ' tion which has fallen t: only one other student. Among other claims fcr distinction, may be mentioned his declamation ability or his speed vn the basketball floor. In both he has been very successful this year, winning first in the local declamatory contest and a trip to Missoula while in the lat- “ f ter case ho was the pilot of a basketball team which was unde- feated on the local floor for the entire season Under his direc- tion the Annual has had a capable business manager and should be a success as far as revenue is con- cerned. Ray plans to enter col- lege at Bozeman this fall. LOCALS ! A Rev. I. Abb tt dedicated the new tabcrnc.de at Garncil last Sunday. A large crowd from Buffhlc attended the dedication services.

Infan- try men in an army wagon drawn by four mules, which were driven by a government teamster, known to his companions as Frenchy. While the outfit was descending an easy grado between East Buffalo Creole and Ross s Fork, Frcnchy dropped his reins and pitched forward from his high scat. The soldiers soon stopped the team and returned to pick up the driver, lifeless Soon after, the dead man Y«ras carried into the newly built store building at Ubet and that little community was called upon to conduct its first funeral, while the paymaster and his escort continued their westward journey. It was inevitable that Jerry Sprague should bo the undertaker Ho was a competent carpenter and at the time was putting in the fixtures in his store. Ho had served four years or more in the Union Army and his army experience was valuable. It happened that I was making a short visit home before the beef round up and without solicitation on my part I was cast for the role of sexton and I displayed my wonted sagacity by drafting Walter Bisson as first assistant. As this was the first burial in the Gap neighborhood under civil- ized auspices, wo had to decide upon a burial place. With our picks and shovels we walked over to the top of a ridge lying north east cf the little town and commenced our work, iiy out-stretched arms would span the length of tho grave and I carried a stick which gave mo the y idth of the rough box which was to serve as a coffin. After much perspiration and fatigue with a fair number cf blisters, the grave was finished and ready for the funeral. 0 0 0 0 0 The hearse was a lumber wagon, the pall bearers were tho two sex- tons, the undertaker and a wayfarer who happened to be disengaged. As the nearest minister was the Post Chaplain at Fort Magi nis, fifty miles distant, we dispensed with any religious ceremonies, but the interment was conducted decently and as well as the circumstances would permit until the coffin was lowered into the grave, when, much to our consternation, we found the crude box wedged half way to the bottom of the excavation and it took the combined weight of the entire funeral cortege to put Frcnchy where ho belonged. ■'0 X '000 ’ 0 000 000 S 000 0 0 0 0 0 000 00 00 0000 .0 0 0 ✓ s s s X X X X X X X Some day perhaps, a fitting acknowledgment will be made of the services rendered to civilization in its western march across the United States by the French Canadians, not often as leaders, but always with the lead, their bones have gone to rest in our marshes and rivers, in the leafy meld of our forests and on our dry prairies, as well as in the mountain fastnesses; and Frenchy11 was only one of these• ---John R.

Suddenly a scries of blood-curdling yells cane from the direction of the Boy Scouts tent and Jake Hanley burst in upon the scene,follow- ed by two companions as scantily attired as he All three brandished frying pans and hatchets as they rushed at the astonished bear, he gave one startled look at his yelling chargers, and then turned and fled into the darkness.

The ix girls, six Boy Scouts and the scoutmaster and chaperone Tubby Tilzcy were on a hike tc Swan Lake to investigate the mystery which shrouded the lone log cabin standing on the shore of the lake. The story was that a half-breed trapper and his wife had once lived in this cabin and in a quarrel, the half-breod had killed the woman by striking her on tho head with a hatchet. Rumors had spread that after the nan's death, the spirits of both cane back to haunt the cabin every night. A grizzled old trapper had related his hair-raising ex- perience, with the ghosts, to one of the Boy Scouts, who in turn told it to his companions and the girls. The excursion had been planned with hopes of exciting adventures. After much pleading on the part of the girls, they were taken along as cocks and this had been the first night under a tent in tho mountains. 77 S ,' s $ y : ' ' A S The next day, over twenty miles were covered, but nothing excit- ing happened, much to the beys disappointnent. Tubby like most cor- pulent people had son© difficulty, in climbing. He cut quite a comic- al figure“-being short, dumpy and fat with a figure which would make a jelly fish take to wearing a ,'iadame X girdle if he owned a figure that even remotely resembled that cf Tubby1 s. He had a ponderous head set on a thick, fat neck—both being liberally covered with a growth of stiff bristles. Ho matter how hard one tried, he could never determine just where the boundary line was between neck and chins. There were at least half a dozen of the lat- ter and all of then draped themselves artistically over his collar. Tubby had a nose like a king s ruby and was smeared generously all over the center of his face. His cars drooped like wilted., red poppies and his lower lip made one wonder how he ever managed to keep from stepping on it. His eyebrows started on the bridge of his nose and vanished somewhere in the wild jungle above his forehead. Tubby s hair was quite a bother as he had to keep it covered when in sight of a railroad for fear cf unintentionally flagging some train. The color was a shade between vcrnillion and crimson maple. His eyes never looked in the same direction at the same tine—in other words he was cross-eyed. In spite of these shortcomings Scoutmaster Tilzoy was an honest good-natured and likable fellow and had many friends. .Another member of the party was a lively, cheerful, vivacious, and athletic ton-boy--June Jordan. She had an impudent, saucy face, topped by a nop of tangled brown curls, and always carried a happy smile between two vanishing and reappearing dimples. She never failed to have a geed word for everybody. Jake althc he is not the hero, deserves a little extra space. He was a big, over-grown, gawky lad of sixteen—rod-hcadcd and green eyed with a mouth that stretched from one ear to the other. He never mis- sed a fight if he cculd avoid doing sc, but ho never '’picked one. In spite of his awkwardness, all of his schoolmates respected and liked him. Early in the afternoon of the third day, they cane upen a large ledge, which gave then an unrbstructcd view cf the whole lake. In the bright afternoon sunlight it looked like a big sheet of dark green glass. Only a few ripples appeared on the smooth surface. Towering pines grew ..round the-edge, making a velvety green foliage. Swan Lake was large and had as its outlet, a good sized river. The mystery Cabin --as the girls had christened it--stocd in a small clearing below the ledge. 111.1 going down and explore the place, announced Tilzey, anybody caning along? SureI the rest chorused. The party descended the lodge quickly and soon stood grouped before the massive door. After much pushing it finally gave and swung inward. The place smelled musty and dust was everywhere. There were four rooms, which made the structure quite large, Jake, who had gone ahead, found a door in the back which opened easily and passed on out- side. All at once ho yelled.

Hot far fron the haunted c bin they nadc canp and by the tine they had several bonfires crackling in tho breeze, darkness had settl- ed for the night. The girls cast fearful glances toward the din out- line silhouette f the cabin but saw nothing to be alamod at. Imodiatoly after supper the entire group turned in and the girls, altho scared of ghosts, soon slept fron exhaustion. Tho boys, however, did not sleep soundly as they were not a little excited. Jake especially was wakeful and peered out into the rloon frequently.
