r 3 4 % This is the way we go to school, go to school So early in the morning.” Yes, sometimes we go this way and sometimes we go some other way. Getting to school in Montana in the winter sometimes presents quite a problem. When it is twenty below” and the biting north wind is whip- ping the frozen snow over the prairie or when that piercing blast from the south is sweeping great banks of snow before it, chilling the very marrow in man and beast, the question arises in a score of homes, ”Shall we or shall we not.” It is surprising indeed to see how many sleds and horseback riders string into the spacious barn on just such mornings as these. Going to school as shown above is not quite so difficult as in January or February when the roads are entire- ly blocked but it may be said with great credit to both student and pupils that the winters, severe as they are in Montana, never get so bad as to make the slightest dent in the attenaance record. Let this fact sink deep in your cerebrum cortex if one student traveled the total distance the combined students cover in the average school day he would go 582 miles. So this is the way we go to Buffalo school. So early in the morning. V FOREWORD In days of old when buffaloes roamed This great and trackless plain. Those lumbering, white-topped wagons came In slow profession—train by train. Those pioneers braved hardships cruel With courage and untiring pluck; Through Indian terrors and distress They held their ground and bravely stuck. Our Senior Class of this long year Has in these telling pages shown A struggle in which we portray Some pioneering !,on our own.” E “ 9 ID G PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE Again, in the propagation of the year- book, the Seniors of the Buffalo High School have begun and completed a gigantic task. This volume of “The Buffalo” is a genuine portrait of the life and activities of a high school student, but more espec- ially of the class of '30. It knows full wo 11 the language of the class that has: compiled it and as the years go by it will speak froely and pleasantly of the ifriond- ships and associations formed during thc years from Freshman entrance to graduation. It has been prepared by the largest senior class that has ever been gradi;atcd from tho Buffalo High. A distinct service to the school and community has been served by the untiring members of the class who have so faithfully and conscientiously given of their valuable time and talents in order to make this volume a success. May the futuro achievements of oaoh member of your class be as noteworthy as is this Volume V of The Buffalo. ■ BOARD of EDUCATION W F. Morse Chairman Fred D. Ristine Adam H. Rung A.

I Like our shadorvs, our r ishos longthon as ojur sun declines CLi SS FLOTER: Lilac 7 7 v On the thirteenth of September, 1926, fourteen green, little Freshmen timidly entered the doors of a once forbidden domain,the Buf- falo High School, Those entering upon their four-year sojourn in high school were: Lucia Lewis, Lorraine Rung, John R, Barrows, John Luhm, Ruth Spurgeon, Knolie Stevenson, Harold Stevenson, Charles Frost, Ivan Abbott, Esther Frost, John Griffith, Dan Selleck, Lee Salisbury, and Catherine Miller, Lee Salisbury discontinued school and Catherine Miller went with her folks to Washington. This class won fame in Booster and Annual campaigns, as well as in lessons, Lucia Lewis played a prominent part in the Senior play. The next September this class returned with the exceptions of John Barrows, John Luhm, Charles and Esther Frost, Rubye Olson, Mar- guerite and Kathryn Hansen from Judith Gap, and Perry Best fromitore filled the vacancies. This class rather distinguished itself. Perry won second place in the Declamatory Contest, entitling him to the Kay Memorial Medal, Ivan Abbott and John Griffith had the honor of attend- ing the Boy’s Vocational Conference at Bozeman, Other members of the class were prominent in school activities, showing interest in the Carnival, Declam, the school paper, and Basket-ball, Of the girls, Ruth and Rubye played guard on the first team, and Lorraine was always a willing sub. Of the boys, Dan filled the position of left guard on the Boys’ team, and John was always an. apt substitute, This year the U-Tell-IEm Debate Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Wait,. Perry and Ivan honored the class by taking part in the Senior .Play, In tho third' lap of the voyage, Bonnie King joined us from Cald- well, Idaho, This year started off with a bang, The Junior Class in- stantly acquired leadership, and piloted the affairs of B H. S, for ’28-’29. Under the capable.instruction of Miss Monroe, we presented The Trysting Place , The procedes were in part expended for a 40-foot flag pole and new flag for the School, Later in the year we made the Junior Prom a huge suocess During thif year, Dan and John Griffith were on the B, B, team, eaefa receiving letters On the girls, Rubye, Bonnie, Lorraine, and Lucie played on the Girls’ team. Perry won the Declamatory Contest, and had the pleasure of a trip to Missoula, Lucie placed third in the Congest, May 18, the members of the Junior Class entered,with other B. H, S« students,in the District Scholastics Meet, at Lewistown, and had much to do in bringing home the bacon as well as the banner for first place. The capping affair was the Jun-� ior-Senior Banquet which took place on May 20, at the Buffalo Hotel. (Continued on next page,) The last year of oar high school career began on September 12, 1929« Thirteen Seniors registered, taking up the old leadership of the school regime. At class organization Rubye was chosen as leader of our Class of f30. Although the Senior year was not marked and outstanding in the dramatic line, we shone in scholastic standings. Our time was well filled with carrying on the publication of the Booster” the first half of the year. At the mid-year, an Annual Staff was elected with Lorraine as Editor-in-Chicf. She has successfully guided the produc- tion of our year-book, and it is truly a creation worthy of recogni- tion. To climax our years in B.H.S., the class threw every effort into the presentation of our class play---- Fifty Fifty, by Frederick John- son. In athletics the Seniors were stars, John Griffith and Ivan Ab- bott playing on the Basketball team, while in the spring, Dan Scllcck, Perry Best, and John Griffith played important positions on the High School Base Ball Team. The girls—Rubye, Ruth, and Lorraine constituted the defense of our nearly ’undefeated girl’s Basketball Team. In the last month, Knolic dropped out to put in the spring crops, and now—-twelve Seniors, through four years of high school together— expectantly await the time when Mr. Matt 111 hands us our diplomas. WHAT WE MAY BE DOING NEXT YEAR Lorraine rocs to Bozeman to specialize in Art and Designing.

A., one of the renowned professors in the Columbia Universi- ty� to pause in his sojourn homeward, It may be only a foolish whim of mine, but anything connected with the name of Buffalo always interests me, having been principal there for a number of years. Having purchased the newspaper, he continued his journey to his hoifre. Reaching his home on 808 Evansdale Terrace he found Mrs. Mat- till quite alone. The boys were at Yale and on this particular even- ing, Julia Ann was attending a social function. Well, •Cel,1 how about an evening off? I have no classes to- morrow, so let s declare a holiday. Yes, we haven11 had an opportunity to attend a good Vitaphone picture yet. Do you know of any particularly good one this evening? No, he answered, but I noticed one in the Tribune entitled Buffalo Revue running at the Palace. It's widely advertised so it must be good. Somehow the word Buffalo always attracts me. Eight o’clock that evening found the renowned professor and his wife seated in their private box at the Palace. As the curtains slow- ly parted, revealing the title of the picture, Buffalo Revue,v the strains of a rather uncommon tune coming from the vitaphone hushed the audience. The song seemed very unfamiliar to them, but the Professor began humming it under his breath. Somehow it seemed familiar to him. He recognized it immediately as the words flowed over the audience , We’re Out To Win, No Matter Whatfs Before Us, We re Out To Win, Oh Hear Our Mighty Chorus.’V Rather a coincidence, remarked Mrs. Mattill, to the Professor. That used to be Buffalo s old High School song, didn’t it? Yes, answered the Professor, but this sounds more promising yet. On the next screen appeared these words: This picture is a re- vue of the happenings in the present day lives of a number of charac- ters whose paths have crossed and recrossed in a strange yet myster- ious manner. We are presenting these characters not under assumed names, but with their own names—names of persons known to many people in this country, names famous abroad as well as at home. Through the courtesy and permission of the Buffalo Senior Class we offer for your approval the Buffalo Revue. The picture opens to the soft strains of that French national anthem, Marseilles. The scene is a busy street in Paris. A well- dressed young lady alights from a taxi. We have our introduction to the famous, well-known artist, Lucia Lewis. She seems troubled, and glances anxiously around. We notice a stoop-shouldered, yet tall man, dressed in a khaki uniform following her closely. Lucia notices him also, and hurriedly entering a Parisian Modiste Shoppe, goes directly to the private office of Mile. Kathryn Hansenne. They speak earnestly for a few minutes, and both seem to be rather worried. In their con- versation,various references are made to a mysterious person who seems to be shadowing Lucia's foot-steps There is a knock at the door and an attractive young lady enters the room. She is none other than the ingenious designer, Lorraine Rung. The three are soon engaged in a discussion concerning the mysterious khaki-clad personage. Lucia has spent tha past year with Kathryn and Lorraine in Paris, continuing her study of art,and it was not until the last week that these three girls had regretted their sojourn here in Paris. Day and night, for the past week, they have been folowed by an unknown person. The Shadow,” as the girls call him, always appears to wish to speak to them. However, he never accosts them in a body, but individually. One eveninghe stole up silently behind Loraine and placed his hand on her arm as if to detain her. Lorraine turned around suddenly to discover that it was none other than the mysterious Shadow. A policeman happened on the scone at the same instant and the Shadow bowed and said in well- marked English, Pardon me. Mile., I was mistaken. Lorraine and the officer gazed in astonishment after the figure. Ho wonder then, that they are worried; Lucia departs for New York tomorrow, but fears for the safety of her two friends. After an earnest consultation, they decide to appeal to Monsieur Harold Stevenson, American Consul in the city. An hour later finds the three girls in the private office of Con- sular Stevenson. They explain the situation to him. He is deeply concerned and advises the girls to employ Secret Service Workers. Since Lucia seems to bo the main sought character of the Shadow he states that she will be accompanied by a detective also on her journey homoward. T' use as little suspicion as possible, he suggests that a woman dotccv. ateorapany her. He sends a notice to the Secret Ser- vice Department of the city and almost immediately a knock is heard at the door. A young lady, dressed according to the fashion of the day, enters the office. She greets the girls cordially. They look doubt- ful for a few minutes, but Kathryn recognizes in her, her old class mate, Bonnie King. The throe girls arc very surprised to learn that Bonnie also is in Paris, but she reminds them that since she is in the S. S. Work, her work must be kept secret. Kathryn and Lorraine are overjoyed to hear that Bonnie will accompany Lucia on her journey, and Lucia is equally happy to learn that similar steps will be taken to protect the two girls remaining in Paris. The next morning finds Bonnie and Lucia ready to embark on the HELEN for America. Farewells are said and the Shadow is forgotten in the excitement of departure. An onlooker might observe, however, that among the last passengers aboard the ship is a khaki-clad figure. He wends his way among the crowd and is gone from view, Lucia and Bonnie enjoy their first day at sea. The captain of the ship, Daniel J. Selleck, sees that his guests of honor lack no ac- commodations. They are given the best of service, and not the slight- est courtesy is omitted. As they are seated on the deck toward the evening of the first day, watching the sunset on the waves. Captain Selleck approaches them and presents another distinguished passenger aboard the HELEN. Miss Marguerite Hansen, noted worker in the mission- ary field, is just returning from a prolonged trip to the Orient. In all their reminiscence of past days,the Shadow is forgotten and time passes quickly. It is the last evening the girls will spend together on the boat. Lucia is standing alone, on deck, watching the white caps as the boat speeds through the waters of the mighty Atlantic. Her thoughts are lost in reverie, and she does not hear the approaching footsteps. Bomnie, always on the alert, watches the khaki-clad figure closely, from the shadewof her steamer chair. He advances cautiously toward the motionless girl standing at the deck rail, all unconscious of the impending danger. Fearing foul play on the part of the Shadow,” Bonnie quickly advances to her companions side. The Shadow turns abruptly and glides away into the darkness. Knowing of Lucia’s fears, Bonnie thinks it best not to inform her of the presence of the Shadow. She decides to assume the responsi- bility of guarding her companion. She asks Captain Sellcck if she may use his wireless. The Captain, knowing her mission on the boat, asks no questions, but readily assents. In a few moments the following message is sent: Head of S. S. Dept. New York City. Be on hand. Your assistance needed. Am returning with Lucia Lewis on THE HELEN. Mysterious khaki-clad person shadowing her. No clue and no foul play as yet, but wish to have mystery solved. B. L. K. S. S. W. Paris. Next day dawns clear and fair. THE HELEN is scheduled to arrive in New York at 10:30. The ship is surrounded by an atmosphere of hur- ry and bustle. Everyone is preparing to leave at the moment of its arrival. Bonnie watches anxiously for the Shadow, but he does not appear. The ship anchors at the scheduled time; the gangplank is low- ered and the eager passengers hurry to the shore. Lucia, closely ac- companied by Bonnie, bids Marguerite and Captain Sclleck adieu, and eagerly approaches the shore. A distinguished car awaits them and Lucia accompanies Mrs. Nicholas Noel (nee Ruth Spurgeon) to her home in the Biltmore Apartments. Bonnie declines the invitation because of urgent business. Immediately upon the departure of the car, Bonnie is joined by a very officially garbed personage, Rubye Olson, Head of the Secret Ser- vice Department in New York. They engage in a few minutes conversa- tion. They turn toward the ship just as the khaki-clad person ad- vances from the gangplank. Several hours later, we find a dinner party assembled at the Noel home in the Biltmore Apartments. Colonel Nicholas Noel is relating his northern explorations to his guests. Professor J. F. Griffith of Yale, University, Judge Perry Best of Boston, and Lucia Lewis, noted Parisian artist, when the butler presents the cards of visitors. In a few minutes he returns accompanied by Secret Service Workers, Rubye Olson and Bonnie King. Between them walks the khaki-clad figure or the Shadow. Lucia pales and rises. This, says Rubye, is Sammy, the ’Shadow1. Alias Ivan Abbott,. adds Bonnie, withdrawing the real Shadow’s disguise• A great deal of amazement follows: Ivan explains that he made a trip to Paris under disguise in order to escape the notoriety which came as a result of his new invention in the electrical world. He had not dared to make himself known to Lucia in the presence of others and Fate had denied them a privn.te meeting. He had not, however, been successful in foiling the Secret Service Workers. Butr he adds, this reunion is worth sacrificing my time for the public’s gratification of notoriety. The last strains of the Buffalo Revue floated over the crowd. This time they seemed to say, We’re Out To Win, We’re Out To Win And We Have Won Today. Class of 1-9-3-0 1-9-3-0 at Buffalo High No other year the same.

Dur- ing the year Marvin Calicoat and Hazel Looney dropped out so only eight finished the year. Several members of the class made the Bas- ketball team and entered Declamation, The next year two members, Robert Gurney from Lewistown and Eet- tie King from Caldwell, Idaho, entered our midst. Returning to our Buffalo High the third year, we again found that ten members were present. The Junior Prom was the leading event of the past year. With all members working diligently, we raised funds for the Promenade, which was characterized by the advent of Dame Fash- ion in a longer dress. Vacation time is drawing near and three short years have passed but not forgotten as we continue to forge onward un- til we, the Juniors of 1929 and 1930, shall have attained the honor of being graduates of the year of 1931.,.

Orval Fairbanks, Mary Lilley, Edna Lilley, Erma Ristine, Helen Wormley, David Hansen, Marvin Calicoat, and Beatrice Abbott constituted the roll of this class. All completed their Freshman year except Beatrice Abbott, who left for her home in Oregon during the first semester of the scrhod year. When Basketball season opened, five from our class went to prac- tice: Irving Olson, Orval Fairbanks, David Hansen, Helen Wormley, and Erma Ristine. Irving made the Boys1 first team, and Erma and Helen played the respective places of forward and guard on the Girls team, all three receiving letters at the Basketball Banquet, Helen Wormley took part in the Senior Play, Her Step Husband,” and proved successful as a flapper, Helen and Erma entered Declamation and, although they did their best, were not fortunate enough to place. This class, although they were Freshmen, was noted for its ambition and interest in all activi- ties. As Sophomores there were ten of us. The vacant chairs of Beatrice Abbott and Marvin Calicoat were filled by Lucille Olson of Judith Gap, and Lawrence Martin, who did not complete the school term. Basketball season opened rather late this year and again five of us went to practice, Helen, Erma, Lucille, Orval and Irving ma.de their places on the respective teams. At a Basketball meeting held in the High School on April 15, 1930, the following received letters: Erma Ristine, Lucille Olson, Helen Wormley, and Orval Fairbanks, Two girls, Erma Ristine and Lucille Olson, again entered Declama- tion. This class has displayed much talent throughout the first two years of its high school course; may it succeed as successfully in the future as it has done in the past.

The Prom given April 4, by the class of f31, was certainly not an exception to this rule. The High School Assembly Hall was bedecked with the delicate tones of lavendar and green, chosen by the Seniors, as their class colors. The teachers, students, and alumni, caught the spirit of the mel- odies played by the three piece orchestra, consisting of Mrs. While, Ted Wormley, and Junior Wernli. One of the interesting features of the evening was the prize waltz; Miss Marguerite Hansen and George Spurgeon carrying off the honors. The punch which was served between dances throughout the evening proved a life saver to tired dancers. The clock pointed to twelve thirty when the strains of Home Sweet Home spelled finis to a delightful evening of entertainment. RECEPTION On September 20, 1929, a reception was given in the X 0. 0. F. hall, and a hearty welcome extended to the teachers of Buffalo and surrounding vicinity, as well as Rev. and Mrs. Scudder. The program, which was cleverly planned by some of the ladies of Buffalo, consisted of readings, speeches and musical numbers. The evening was thoroughly enjoyed by those attending. BASKETBALL PARTY Tuesday evening, April 14, to. and Mrs. C. R. Mattill i entertained the two teams, the schoolboard and the facility. The orchestra played a few selections before and after the serving of a delightful, lunch then letters were given to members of the teams. SOPHOMORE-SENIOR PARTY As an outcome of the Booster Campaign, on Friday evening, November 1st, a Halloween party was given in the Higji School Auditorium. This party was given for the Sophomores and Seniors, by the Freshmen and Juniors, the losing classes in the Campaign. The evening was spent in dancing, after which a gratifying lunch was served in the Music Room The party came to a close about eleven o’clock, everyone having enjoyed a pleasurable evening. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS The monotony of the dayfs routine was dispelled many times through- out the school year by the clever assembly programs given by the differ- ent classes every two weeks. These consisted of short playsr readings’ songs and music of all kinds. In these programs the respective classes showed that they possessed a great deal of talent CISUSTIaS PROGRAM A varied program was given Thursday, December 19. Both the grade youngsters and Highschool students participated in entertaining the audience FRESHMAN INITIATION The initiation of twenty-four green Freshmen, was a glorious affair. The Sophomores ordered the Freshmen to appear clad in short pants, and ancient looking dresses, one Thursday The show during the day was hilarious, but the climax was the parade down mainstreet which was side splitting All witnessing tho parade noted the good sportsmanship shown by the class of f 33.

As an introduction the High School Orchestra played several pieces and Part Ifollowed immediat- iy This was a play, Crowning the May Queen.” Changes of scenes add- ed much to the picturesqueness of the clever little number, and what last-day-of-schod program would be complete without a Maypole dancej The Jolly Health Clown and His Helpers romped through Scene II with much rollicking gayety and Part 11 was then presented by the Music De- partment. This included several songs and a pageant. Part III was the hour that all eight grade students looked forward to, and an hour won only after eight years of work in school—-the 8th grade commencement exereises. Parts I and III were directed by the Misses G Olson, E. Olson, and E. Castleman Part II was supervised by Miss Talaott. FIFTY-FIFTY No I That s not the name of an old-time gambling house, but the title of the Senior Play This three-act farce of Love, Luck and Laughter was presented Friday evening. May 23rd. The characters seemed to have been especially designed to fit the diverse members of the Senior Class. Henry Brown (Perry Best), an artist, and Paul Green (Dan Selleck), an author suddenly left Poverty in the lurch when Henry sold his mahogany sea upside down (by mistake) to the blase faddist Mrs. Hawley (Rubye Olson), Mrs. Podge, the landlady, who is by turns kittenish and as hard- boiled as a picnic egg was, of course, played by Lucy Lewis. Sophie Bland (Bonnie King) and May Dexter (Lorraine Rung) watched with amused interest the train of misadventures of the two pals—one lie led to an- other until bluecoats with brass buttons haunted every moment. For lengthy play worked up in two weeks by a group of amateurs, the farce Fifty-Fifty was certainly a success. Miss Leik supervised the work of the play—perhaps that explains it.

Roosters for most of us need no definitions. They crow from 3 A.M. until we are awake--say about 5:30. They are sometimes used in stew and dumplings, while on other occasions they sit on top of barns to indicate which way the wind is blowing. If the Buffalo Rooster had any purpose in mind at this time, it would be for just this reason, but as the brain of this creaturo has been in a whirl for the past nine months, duo to the sudden changes of the wind which have come rasping from over The Twins one day and fresh from the frozen North the next, this signing off effort must seek some other sort of justifica- tion. Pointing neither east, . wott, north or south,out hopefully upward, the breezes of public sentiment and abiding support sent the pupils and teachers expectantly on their way last September. The work of the grados began pretty much on the same plane and with approximately the same number of students as last year. In the high school a new corps of teachers began doing some things that had not been done before in the B.H.S. New departments had been added and greater possibilities for additional vocational training was offered. During the summer fine domestic science tables had been ordered and were ready for use shortly after school opened. These tables, like those in the splendidly equipped laboratory, are known to schools as multi-service tables, meaning, of course, that they may be adapted for one type of work as well as another. The dual purpose of the home economics equipment is for both sowing and cooking. A start was made this year with the tables serving for the sewing classes. As a beginning a groat deal may be re- corded. Three new Singer sewing machines added to the possibilities of the classroom work, and there are many evidences to clearly show that the girls who availed thorn- selves of these privileges accom- plished mucti jiuring_thc year. Work was of a practical nature thruout i arm men experience wnich should carry over into actual practice has been the good fortune of many girls to acquire. As was stated, the be- ginning only was made. Next year the course will be extended to in- clude a class in cooking. Addi- tional equipment will, of course, be required, but plans for this arc already under way and when Septem- ber finds students enrolling again to continue their secondary educa- tion, an adequate supply of mater- ials and essentials for this work will be at the disposal of those desiring to secure practical in- struction and training in cooking. The unusually large enrollment of | this year justified the expense in j adding this department, tho, of j course, it was recommended by the f State Supervisor who firmly be- lieves in giving as much vocational work as is consistent with the na- ture of the community and the types j of students served. j In passing from this point, it j may be interesting to same, who perchance, may not have heard of the splendid enrollment the high school had this year, to learn that it was by far the largest in the history of the school. Each year new faces have been included on the roster, but never so mny as last September. Before the first month had passed, fifty-eight had been regularly enrolled and this number was not materially reduced, tho five withdrew to continue school work elsewhere. The increase was largely in the freshman class where twenty-four found themselves begin- ning for the first time smch duties, obligations and studies peculiar to secondary students. In order to provide needs for this group, as well as for others who had been in school before, the vocational courses were offered. For the boys there was also a new experience in that manual training was offered for the first time.. This work, too, was quite popular which is frequently the case with new subjects, and a large percent- age of the two lower classes found ample opportunity here to learn a good many things about the simpler ways of doing the ordinary tasks that rural folks must do with ham- mer and saw. It Is proposed to ex- tend this work also for the coming year. A more generous supply of tools will be available, and more space can be easily provided for this work. At the time the building was erected, economy measures prohibit- ed the completion of basement floors, but the space was there. Last fall it fell to the lot of students who expected to receive training in the manual arts to first acquaint themselves with a pick and shovel. On a mixing board they made quick work of preparing cement for about 900 square fee% of surface, and thru their efforts a suitable room was provided for the manual training benches. The job was done at a minimum cost of about 45 sacks of cement. Addi- tional room can be provided next fall with perhaps another cost to the district of about 40 sacks of cement. This will then give a large floor space for the install- ing of such additional equipment as may be desired from time to time , besides furnishing a separate paint and stain room for finished pro- duct s . At the conclusion of the year it may safely be stated that all of the boys have increased their skill in the fundamentals of woodworking, while some have become quite profi- cient for first year students. Here, too, many useful things have been made, and as a whole, parents were more than pleased with the products formed by the hands of the beginners. Stands, stools, chests, pedestals and many other articles have been made. In the main, soft woods were used as these are easier for the inexperienced to work with. The possibilities for further im- provement and development ore many, and it is expected that another year’s training will qualify many boys to do handily, quickly and ef- ficiently many of the jobs that are necessary on the ranch. Shortly after the opening of school the subscription campaign for the school publication began. About 200 subscriptions (including ex- changes) were secured. With this number required for each issue, the Seniors began to edit the Booster according to the standards of previous years. This they did un- til the beginning of the second semester, when the Juniors took charge, making it possible for the former to begin intensive work on the Annual. Among the dry, prosiac subjects which students ordinarily pursue, some have been more stimulating this year than obhers. This year a new standard was set in one subject which only too often fails to arouse anything but antipathy. It has been noteworthy, therefore, to see the reactions of the few stu- dents who have found themselves en- grossed in the subject of Latin. For once it has been demonstrated o b that Caesar, with his fighting hosts, could live again in the minds of the present day students Verily the days for miracles are not entirely past As a somewhat general rule, the serenity of affairs in the Buffalo High was not greatly disturbed dur- ing the present school year Be- tween the day s duties and visits by health officer who came to make us all iimnurt , most everything, the days came ana wont according to the rather ancient, tho customary procedure worked out by Father Time a few millions of years ago There arc, however, a few high spots in tho year just about completed that somehow stand out as significant, among them and foremost being the Senior Class of 30 Perhaps sufficient emphasis has been placed on the fact that from tho stand- point of numbers, the present class is the largest that has yet com- pleted its course in the B.H.S. Merc numbers are not the prime es- sentials of greatness—they simply lend distinction to this particular group In scholarship and standards for doing work, records prove that for four years there has been a sus- tained effort which gives this class a higher grade percentage than that of any previous class graduated fr m the school. This is significanti But perhaps the cru- cial test of solidarity and fixity of purpose of any class is never more thoroly tested than in its final burst of speed to surmount the last hurdx In completing the innumerable tasks before the night of graduation As this is being written, there remains much to be done, yet it is hardly conceivable that a group which has been so loy- al and faithful to tho school could fail to bring anything but admira- tion and esteem upon itself The school has followed with consuming interest the individuals of the class of 30, and it is perhaps not in the least out of order for one who has been closely associated with them to say a few words of appreciation for each member of thc class. These words do not presup- ' pose nth degree stages of perfec- tion for anyone, but certainly the errors common to human nature may for once be relegated, and those salient traits hold up which have characterized the attitudes and efforts of the students of this class during the years they have been in this school Well, here goes I A is for Abbott. Yes sir—that s me all over, Mabel I Here, there, every- where, you sec Ivan; Ivan the ag- gressive; Ivan the hustler; Ivan the hasty—always doing something I Some people go to school to sleep— but not he I For many, many years he has been growing up with the school, starting hero in the pri- mary grades and continuing straight thru without a breakdown He shines wherever a lamp is needed This year he is giving his thoughts a chance to do some figgerin for himself, making plans for his fu- ture work—all seniors should do this As a member of the senior class he is contributing a full share of his time in helping pro- duce and complete the Annual When finally he gets betwoon the sheets he dreams of Slip-sheets,” but they are are pleasant dreams after all, and bright and early he ap- pears on the scone ready to go thru the toilsome day, knowing full well that his reward Is just around tho corner. Perry follows, i.e., nBw A, according to Webster Primary of an earlier day may safely be said that Perry fol- lows no one. He cuts his own trail and sometimes digs his own rxtd thru the drifts of packed snow. This is not always the Best for Perry, but his hard, long trips to the B H S are about over His chance for higher rank in scholarship was somewhat inpairod because of an op- peration that left him less able physically to meet the strenuous duties of a Junior and a Senior. His contribution to the school has been valuable and timely In de- f allows and the Yet it clamation he . . ‘hone with brilt liance, winning two firsts and a second in three local attempts In this particular line of work, the future may offer him an unusual field for advancement. The lecture platform may be graced some day by his commanding presence. Another important member of the class of f3G is John Griffith. He has been familiar with Buffalo school ways for 12 years. As a student he has been consistent, and his grades are high. Any ash ever .assigned to him has teen performed conscientiously and effectively , j for John has never been known to shirk a responsibility. In plays, declamation, or athlcties he has entered with the same keen interest that has characterized all of his regular school work. Ambitions for college training arc uppermost in his mind, and wo predict a success- ful future for John. Wo next come to a member of the class tfho began as a Sophomore, Kathryn Hanson. Like deep waters which fl w quietly, so arc her ways ordered. Guio: 1., unobtrusively she goes abv::c ; r work, doing it with immaculate precision and neat- ness. Her part in the affairs of the class of 30 has been considcr- ablo, and her contribut iui to the Annual will onhanco the quality of this publication very materially. Tho her school work has been far above the median of the class, she has shown most unusual skill in needlecraft. Her work in keenest competition at Billings last fall won for her many valuable prizes. She has a- keen interest in mathe- matics and could, by intensive col- lege training, prepare herself for an unusually fine position in home e c on omi c s and riiat he mat i c s. Marguerite Hansen is the only member of the class of 30 who has a -sister to graduate this spring. We have all heard of the close friendship of David and Jonathan, but it doesn t begin to compare to the affectionate regard in which these two sisters hold each other. Marguerite, too, has unusual abil- ity in needlecraft, doing some ex- ceptionally fine work during the past year. On the Annual she has been producing such fine work as to elicit the most spontaneous and generous praise of those who have seen the wr� rk of her hands. She has a peculiar knack of getting things done H Another member to add merit and downright quality to the class of ■ 30 is Lucia Lewis. Four years ago she entered the Buffalo High as a freshman. She surprised her class- mates and everybody else by her dramatic ability the first year she was with us. Steadily, her talents in declamation have been developed, and in the keenest kind of competi- tion she won second place in the local contest this year. She will represent the school in the State Meet at Missoula, May 16. She is twice v inner of the Kay Memorial Medal. Bonnie King, for many years a resident of this community, was not here, however, for her first two years of high school study. Re- turning from Caldwell, Idaho in 1928, she began here as a Junior. The unusually high grades which she received as a Freshman and a Sopho- more in Idaho are typical of the work she has done here during the past 2 years. Had she been in this school for another year she ‘would have been in line for one of the three scholarships which are to be awarded at Commencement time. She has a great capacity for doing things, a keen intellect, and above all a winsome way which has won for her many friends and the admiration of her instructors. She is inter- ested in a business career, and with the training she now has she should, with an intensive short commercial course, soon be ready for practical office work. She works well in whatever capacity she is placed. A class would not be complete without its salutatorian. This is the honored position which falls to Lorraine Rung who completes her high school course with a four year’s average of over 90%. In a high quality class, this is no small distinction, and because of this standing she will receive a scholarship to any one of tho units of the University of Montana. For four years she has entertained many readers of the Booster with her keen literary productions from her facile pen. Versatile and clever, she turns to art a,.„d illustrates many a point with striking drawings. In both art and writing she shows great promise, and could develop latent possibilities not yet dream- ed of under specialized instruction. The .Annual is greatly, enrichod thru her efforts, and as Editor-m-Chief of the same is making every effort possible to produce the best volume the high school has ever issued. To Rubye Olson goes the highest scholarship honors of the class of T30. With consistency and deter- mination she has relentlessly pur- sued her studies, and now, in addi- tion to being valedictorian of the class, she will receive a scholar- ship which is good in any unit of tho Greater University of Montana. Practically all phases of extra- curricular activities have inter- ested her, and in these she has won many honors. In dramatics and ath- letics she enters with the same ag- gressive spirit, always holding high the standards of the school. She was chosen by her classmates to be Business Manager of the Annual. The securing of numerous ada to pay •. mountain cf bills has been cl . big job in which she is meeting success. She proposes to enter one of the state normal schools next fall to prepare for teaching. No class would be complete with- out its Daniel J , and true to custom, established form and tradi- tion, wo have one such in the class of '30. Dan has sagged a good many wires on the fonce between minus and plus, but comes up smiling most of the time In plays he shews maiked ability, having participated in several high school productions. Oh the. final wind-up of the Annual ho is performing likG a veteran, and his efforts should do much to complete the volume on schedule time. Tho calendar, a work of his own hands, reveals all the impor- tant dates of the year. You will read them with interest to your children 50 years from now. Ruth Spurgeon, the eleventh mem- ber of the class, is well known to all in this community. For her modest ways, gentle manners and even disposition she wins friends and keeps them, With her class- mates and the entire school she is held in high cstoom. In scholar- ship she stands high and is known for her consistent effort in duties falling to her to perform. The school and her own class has always stood higher for the things sho has done. In athletics and 'dramatics Ruth has done particularly well. We will most emphatically miss her smile and radiant chccr when she takes leave from the hulls of the Buffalo High. Then lastly let us tern to tho remaining member of tho class, Harold Stevenson. His odi cation has not been neglected, but tc should say anybody else’s has who has not come to know and appreciate tho hidden qualities of his mind and character. Harold, tho Si- lent , has boon a student of few words. Gusto is unnecessary to compel attention when he speaks, fto is never more effective, how- ever, than when, with almost per- fect English, ho expresses his ideas in writing. Because of tho long trips from Straw for the past four years, '.ho .has had little opportunity to enter extra-curricu- lar activities. In such subjects in which his reasoning powers find most stimulation he stands at the i very top of tho loss. Harold is j of the genuine student type, and ivo are confident that somewhere, some- time in the field of scholarly achievement ho vrill mate some note- worthy contribution.' j v WEfRE OUT TO WIN See the ook We're out to Sing it over We1re out to We«re out to We're out to We're out to OhJ hear our We're out to We're out to We1re out to in our eye.

The season was soiiwwhat a repetition of last year in regard to games lost and won. In 1929-30 the girls lost one game by just one point and this year they lost one game by three points. Ten games were scheduled but due to heavy snowstorms and im- passable roads only six of those ten games were played. The line-up for the squad consisted of one Freshman, two Soph- mores, one Junior and three Seniors. Each class being well repres- ented . The girls who played in the majority of the games were: ILary Spurgeon, Agnes Salisbury, and Helen Wormley as forwards: Lorraine Rung, Ruth Spurgeon, and Rubye Olson as guards. Erma Ristine and Lucille Olson each played taking either forward or guard positions in every game, for one or two quarters. Letters were awarded to the entire squad by Mr. Mattill at the annual basketball meeting held each year at the close of the season In the last tvro years the girls have either doubled or tripled the scores of their opponents.

The team went to the sub-district tournament held at Moore. Here, they displayed their sportsmanship and scrappy ; fighting to the Moore and Grass Range teams with whom they played. j COMPARATIVE scores The squad for the boys team consisted of two Sophmores, four Juniors, and two Seniors.

School is real 1 School is earnest I To just ”get through” is not our goal; ”Dunce thou art thou ne’er can learnest”. Is not our selected role. Time is short, and days are flying. And our minds, though strong and staunch; Now like ships that linger—waiting— One last look before they launch. Take no false steps, howe’re tempting; Keep your steps turned straight ahead. On, onj Try honest attempting; Do your best ere Life is fled. Those whose lives are gone before us Give us oourage at the last; And in going take we with us School day mem’ries of the past. Keep a faith that will not alter. Never let your footsteps drag. Let your heart beats never falter However steep the hill or crag. Don’t stop climbing once you’ve started, To go slowly is your right; Don’t look back« you might start slipping! Keep on going! Hang on tight i Lorraine Rung Z LITTLE THINGS Oh} itfs just the jlittle hom- ely things, the unob- strusive, friendly things the wont-you-let----me-help-youn things that make our pathway light, and it’s just the many jolly, joking things the never-mind-the-trouble things, the laugh—with- me-it1s-funny-things- that make the world so bright. For all those never—can—be- equalled things, and wondrous—re cord—br eaki ng- things that papers cite, the just because-I-like-you things make us hap- py quite. So here's to all the little things, the done-and-then-forgot- ten things, those oh-it's- only—nothing—things that make life- worth tht fight. •J 9 Sg Oswald Orangtang made his fortune selling vile cigars, manufac- tured from discarded, brown wrapping paper flavored with sheep dip. He now does a thriving business playing stock markets and 1Tkiddie-car,! races through his broker, while he gambles over the Great Tight11 Way. Ossie is smooth-shaven except for a dagger-like little mustache,- that keeps his sailor hat of shellacked straw stuck at that rakish, collegiate angle. His ears have a charming sailboat effect and his eyes intersect each other (apparently.) His neck falls in graceful folds over his collar like dirty dough over the edge of a white-wash- ed fence. Ossie’s ties are marvelous concoctions—they are representative of a fire in a paint factory and produce the same effect on an on- looker as a dizzying,revolving barber pole. A gilt log chain wonds- its way across the straining buttons of his vest, cutting off tho v hole landscape on his manly chest. Orangtang’s favorite say is so descriptive of the man himself. He is forever lumbering up at the wrong time with that Oily smile and the question, Am I protruding? i I ■w o V Ss c VIEWED FROM AN UPSTAIRS WINDOW Come to the window 1 There is a two-seated buggy just entering the gate,. To it are attached two brown mules, driven by Bud Spurgeon, It looks as though the lines are too short because he is leaning over almost to the double-trees. Clear on the back stands James Phillips. He is evidently trying to make some sound waves reach Budfs ear for he too is leaning forward and frowning--oh my, just as if he were repeat- ing something for the third time. What? Did you say Billy Griffith just missed that gate post? Yes and did you notice Billy occupies the drivers place too and most generally the whole front seat. Yie see either Mary, Catherine or both riding also; but they are always sitting in the back seat and seem to be perfectly contented without offering any back-seat-driver instruc- tions. Well, there comes Tommy Holdsworth. He must have left home be- fore daylight for if that old gray horse keeps an even speed he isn't good for any less than five hours a mile. No wonder Tommy is late once in a while because when he has to stay after school there just isn't time left in which to make the round trip. Why just look at John Griffith coming on that galloping steed He could leave home when the five minute bell was ringing and get here in time to hear the next bell ring two and one-half minutes later. In that case haste doesn't make waste It can't be very late because Ruth Cooper is just coming. She never stops for mud or ice----always trotting right along. As long as Ruth stays on. Fay will too for her tiny arms are certainly clinched- on Ruth. There isn't any Junior Class meeting this morning so why's Roy making all the speed? He must have a favorite typewriter that's some- one else's favorite too. Well who would have thought it-----Edd McDonald and his bug just slowed down for that corner. I wonder if he designed that car for himself—-certainly not for that little enclosure would not have been necessary to protect his school boy complexion-speed does that. Say kids it's time for the bell, there comes a ford with Knolie at the vhotil. That little five passenger ford has its quota filled and if it didn't serve its purpose our attendance and scholastic rec- ords would certainly be wrecked. Gossiping must cease, the bell has rung. A.

Edna Lilley _____________________________________Z DESERT VENDETTA c With a sinking heart, the old prospector surveyed the hollow in the desert's rtloor, A tiny stain of moisture within a circle of cracked, cui 1 i-up pieces of earth was all that remained of the frag- rant spring where he had camped two months before. On that night, Tin-can Tim Riley had visioned a rich strike that would mean a well- filled pipe to puff on for the rest of his days, and, too, proof that he was not the shiftless desert rat that Mrs. Riley had shrilly pro- claimed him. His hopes had materialized—on Jennie's shaggy, but patient back swung two large pouches of nuggets--everyone of them virgin gold. The misses’ could buy that coveted black sild in a few more days, and snap her bony finger under the '0 Leary's nose, while he--well he wanted a little peace and quiet. All these dreams were forgotten in the crisis which so confronted him now. Canteens had long since been eagerly drained of the last precious drop, both he and the burro were suffering for water, and the nearest water hole was over a day's travel away. Vainly endeavoring to wet cracked lips with a parched tongue, Tim thoughtfully shook a cloud of white alkali dust from a battered sombrero, then mournfully wagged his head at Jennie, who was regarding him with eyes almost hu- man in their appeal. Vs Hard luck, pard, soliloquized Tim. Have to rest a while, then push on after dark, I guess. The burro was burying her tortured nose in the damp earth, so the old timer cooled his flaming face and lips by pressing the cool mud to a greedy skin. The thought of food was nauseating, so he unpacked Jennie, erected a temporary shade under a strip of canvas and tried to relax his aching muscles. Worn by ex- haustion, he drifted off into a troubled sleep to be aroused by a shout. Like a cat, he was instantly alert and on his feet, gazing about. Amazed, ho saw a man coming towards him on a lurching run. The person was dressed in riding breeches which had at one time been natty but were now reduced to shreds from too close contact with spiny cac- tus. A tender foot, of course, from appearances. Water! For God's sake, give me water, he screamed dropning to his knees. Sorry, bud, but thar's none in camp. Me and Jennie, thar, air nigh starved for water ourselves, returned Tim, shrewdly noting the small, shifty eyes, placcid features and prison pallor beginning to change to a painful sunburn--also a suspicious bulge in a hip-pocket. Tim may have been no vision of lovlincss, but he was nobody's fool when it came to reading characters. A V 9 W Calmly and swiftly Tin-can explained the situation, and with an effort the stranger finally gained partial control of himself. In nervous spasmodic phrases, he informed the prospector his name was John Hughes (a slight hesitation before giving it was perceptible) and that he had tried taking a short-cut to Oro City, when his horse fell, breaking a leg. Ifve been lost ever since, he said, then emitted a jerky laugh and continued, But I showed that cursed brute a nesson« Didn’t have j shells to waste on him, so I left him laying there. Let the devil suffer—he had no business breaking a leg anyway. Tim clenched his fists at this show of wanton cruelity then concealed the expression of loathing that threatened to reveal his feelings. He had no intention of crediting the first part of the tale, but nodded his head as he mentally took note of a spot of blood on the fine leather boots. No doubt the man was an escaped murderer taking refuge on the desert. r The furtive, black eyes which had been roving about the camp fin- ally arrived at the two stuffed pouches, and there they stayed while a peculiar gleam appeared in them. Strike it rich, old timer? The stranger failed to make the in- quiry casual, succeeding only in an ugly croak. Just a little fortune , returned Tim, But enough to satisfy me. The other pawed at the sacks, tore one of them open, and as the yellow nuggets skipped out to wink at the sen (as if they shared some secret together), he clutched handfuls of the metal greedily. Why, man, you are rich! he rasped in a hoarse whisper. The look of covetousness turned to a maddened flare. Curse you 1 he screamed. Who are you to have all this gold? Whipping a revolver from his hip pocket, he turned the wavering muzzle on Tim, struggling to steady his swayjng body. The fellow was half crazed, but .the old man made a bid for his 1.. fe in a calm voice. i What good will the gold do you, he asked. If you kill me, you’re sure to die of thirst—you can’t find the nearest water hole. What we need now is to get to that thar spring I know the way and you don’t. I Slowly this bit of wisdom dawned upon the would-be killer, and he lowered the gun. I Get going, then, he commanded. ____________________________________________________________________________- d Tin-can” packed the burro and they set forth, No words were wasted now. It was foolish to throw away in talking energy that would be needed later on in the endurance test to follow. Darkness fell and a full moon arose, bathing the desert in beau- ty, A sea of silver light, shaded with rosy tints sprang miraculous- ly into view. Gone were the terrors of the day. The desert had ex- changed her working clothes for an enchanting evening gown of delicate hues. An occasional cool breexe lent new life to lagging spirits, and the sand lost its scorching heat. The rustlings of straggly bushes, followed by the patter of tiny feet gave evidence that hidden things j were coming out to work or play. Pad I—pad 1—pad 1—the heavy tread of j hoof and boot echoed in that endless hight like the throb of the surf on a rocky shore. Pad 1—pad I—pad I—like the labored beat of their own bursting hearts, | Tim wondered if it all was a crazy dream. Flecks of inky black- i ness, flashes of red, and dancing shadows swam dizzily before 'his eyes. Ages dragged by before Tim noticed vaguely that the moon was low in her zenith and soon the east streamed with color. Mumbling in- j coherently, the stranger swayed drunkenly in his walk, his eyes roll- ing hideously and his swelled tongue lolling over his loose lips. He too noticed the dreaded rising of the sun. Once again prickly heat and agony dogged their footsteps. The tenderfoot had ceased to perspire an hour before. That was a bad sign when water was not to be had. Riley himself was weakening fast, but the other was suecombing more rapidly. Suddenly, up came Jennie s drooping head. She sniffed greedily at the air, then broke into a shuffling trot. The prospector sighted the spring only a few yards distant with its fringe of green shrubs. At the same instant the stranger collapsed, trying to scream a curse as his bullet kicked up the dust at Tim s feet. All that issued from those writhing lips was a death rattle. After drinking sparingly of the priceless liquid, new strength returned to the old desert rat. Slowly he returned to the inert fig- ure. He squinted at two buzzards wheeling about overhead, then drawl- ed, Waal, I m powerful glad I didn’t have to do it. I reckon 1 11 have to bury you to keep you from your own kind, though you don’t de- serve it.” A wave of revulsion swept over him as he thought of the tender- foot’s horse left to die in the torturing heat and he added. The desert always exacts her toll and sho never makes mistakes. Lorraine Rung V SOME DOG Rueben Haskins, a bankrupt prospector, had decided to sell his thoroughbred collie, Mike, as a last resort to ward off impending starvation. Old pal,” he said, I sure hate to do it, but it’s the only way out. Maybe I111 strike it rich and be able to buy you back in a lit- tle while. Rueben mounted his rakish old skewbald and rooked into town with Mike loping leisurely along in the rear. Drawing rein before the White Diamond, he dismounted and, entering the saloon, accosted a group of disreputable looking characters. Seen rv;,l ’dy what wants to buy a good dog? queried the old- timer. Yeh, snarled an oily greaser, over there by the bar. Ruben turned around in time to see a well-dressed stranger close- ly examining Mike, who had slipped into the saloon as a earless wan- derer passed out. How much do you want for that animal? questioned the stranger. Well, as Ifm in hard straits jest now, I 11 sell 1 im for one-- hundred bones. Agreed, said the stranger, lfll take him. j The cowboys in the background were in a hilarious mood so'someone laughingly suggested a contest, in which the contestants were to pro- duce the most unusual dog-story they could dig up in the meantime. Each one in turn did justice to the assignment, but when it came to Rueben1s turn, he knocked ’em all cold. Wal, when I was in Chi. I had a home--yessir, a real home, !n a wife, ’n a kid—cutest little devil—’n Mike ho was with us, too. One night our house kecth on fire, ’n Sarah Jane fn mo we run out right now, but wo forgot the kid. Well, Mike hadn’t. In about three minutes along he comes dragging little Jim. We was tickled so to see the kid safe that we didn’t think of saving anything else, but Mike he run back into the house. Yes sir, right into the fire. When ' he come out agin, all singed and burnt, what do you reckon ho had in his mouth? Not a sound issued from the audience of gaping mouthed cowboys. A ”Wal, he had the fire insurancd policy wrapped in a wet towel,” calmly explained the center of interest. Rueben turned at a soft touch on his shoulder to confront the laughing-eyed stranger. here's your one hundred dollars,” said the amused person, keep the dog,” BONNIE KING ”and- A FALSE BURGLAR ALARM Pa had just purchased a new radio Ma and the kids were just crazy over it. Pa went out to do chores so he wasn't present when this happened The kids decided to do a great thing—tune in and get China (if they could). So they monkeyed, rattled, banged, tried, and tried. Wonder what's wrong with the old thing? It won't work,.” little Willie remarked. Susie brougnt a hammer and began working on the loud speaker.. Ma appeared at this juncture. j 1 ”Go away and play,” she directed. So the radio was left to it- , self. j That night when all was quiet and everyone else was asleep,Pit stole downstairs. He just couldn't sleep without his gun under his pillow. He had always been afraid of having burglars prowling around the house. Suddenly he heard a voice and gripped the gun His fin- gers almost froze on the trigger. He fired at the point from which the sounds came. He fired again and again. Then he heard, ”We will entertain you at this time tomorrow.” He pushed his night cap off and scratched his bald head. Well, Ifll be kicked by a kangaroo I” he whispered to himself. He fired six times more and hearing no more, ran upstairs. Next morning upon rising. Pa remarked, I've heard a lot about these setting up exercises. Guess I'll try them.” He went into the next room and such a sight I There stood the rad- io smashed from a dozen shots. Well, Pa just fainted into Ma's arms- that was all. ”0h I little guilty kids cried, ”just a false burglar alarm.” Myrtle Jackson, Grade 8 S7 FORSAKEN TERRITORY Joseph climbed heavily down from the wagon; from which position he had guided the tired oxen all day. His nostrils were dialated; the excessive heat Surrounded him like a scorching oven. High in his pal- lid cheeks were two scarlet splotches. His lips were sealed together hotly. Nov a feverish red sunset burned in the west and the desert pla- teau lay like an exhausted child trying to catch its breath. Joseph wearily unyoked the oxen and made his way to the back of the wagon. There, lying on a bed of straw was a woman, nay a girl, made pitifully old by the plague v hich searched her body and fought with her spirit. Evidently it was v aging its final battle. Joseph spoke to the girl weakly, as if it gave him pain to mrove his dirty cracked lips, It has been a long journey, my Mary, but we must be nearly there You will recover soon, then, for you can rest in the shade all day, with cool refreshing water to drink. You are so thirsty, dear� I am sure I see an oasis to the southward. I am going to hunt for it and I shall bring you some cold water soon---soon-— The girl's eyelids fluttered at the words—she tried to moisten her dry lips with her scorching tongue. Joseph started south with halting steps—-had the heat of the day made his brain thick like this? Oh his feet must go on if his brain could not follow---Water---Mary---Yes, what was it for Mary?--water— —his head! He stumbled, and vaguely wondered why he didn't find what- he was hunting for. Then he saw very clearly---Mary, as she met him at the door of her father's mansion on their wedding day, two months ago. She was beautiful in her snowy veil; she smiled, and he thought she was trying to tell him something, but she only moved her lips and floated up- --up up then she came back before him again—smiled and flew heavenward. 'He reached out to clasp her in his arms-—and fell---- A few days later a lone eagle, flying over the plateau at midday, cast a beady eye on two panting oxen below, dying a cruel death under the rays of the merciless sun.

The founders of the Northwest Baneorporation, realizing this need, studied the group banking idea and became convinced that this financial set-up would afford relief from past weakness and lead to financial independence in the Northwest. A key note to the objective of the Northwest Bancor- poration was sounded by Mr. E. W. Decker, president of the Northwestern National Bank and the Baneorporation, when he stated: I am thoroughly of the opinion that, by grouping strong banks, these institutions can serve in a larger way their respective communities and provide a complete, safe and dependable banking service to their customers.11 Northwestern Bank £ Trust Cd LEWISTC3WN MONTANA Affiliated with NORTHWEST BANCORPORATION Combined Resources over $480,000,000.00 7---------------------- CANDIES SOFT MINKS CIGARS y j}«i5civ SHELL GASOLINE _______________________________ z V 1 And then there was the absent mind- ed professor who jumped from an air- plane and didn’t open his parachute because it wasn’t raining Under a spreading chestnut tree A stubborn auto stands; The smith, an angry man is he.

SALISBURY MANAGER BUFFALO MONTANA DELIVERING THE GEDD5 The chiropractic health service from this office is distinctly dif- ferent from that of any other office because it is the lengthened shadow of the personality directing it, and that personality is dif- ferent. It is different by birth, by training, by education, by reason of its determination to serve the public better and better as time adds knowledge and skill, and it is different by reason of the kind of cases it has handled. A majority of so-called dis-ease is caused by Nerve Pressure. This Nerve Pressure is in its turn caused by subluxations (displacements) of the vertebrae (small bone of the spine). By my Chiropractic Vertebral Adjustments, we put the small bones of the spine back in normal posiiion. The Nerve Pressure dis- appears and with it the effect, called Dis-ease.
