MEDICINE ROCK The Medicine Rock Edited By The Class of 1931 □ 1931 □ MEDICINE ROCK DEDICATION Wo, the Class of 1931, gratefully dedicate this annual to our parents, who made our High School course possible. IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of one, who for a few short weeks by her unfailing enthusiasm and interest in our welfare, brightened and in- spired our lives. To Mrs. Willena Porter Richardson was given, in a remarkable degree, the capacity to make and hold for herself a place in the hearts of all wj.th whom she came in contact. She is sadly missed by faculty, students, and friends. □= 31 □ MEDICINE ROCK Faculty R. M. RICHARDSON, Jr. R. A., M. A. Principal, Mathematics. MRS. JESSICA HUNT English, Latin, Historg. G. H.

Wheeler, Jennings, Meyers. Bottom : J. Kennedy, Brownfield, Bartlett, J. Macnab, Wayne VanHook, Wilma Van Hook, Buck. (Absent, Kirkwood.) The Junior Class has been quite well represented in the school activities. The football team contained four Juniors and one was elected Captain for next year's team. Four boys made the basketball squad and one was chosen Captain, and two Juniors made the girls' team. The Captain of boys’ track team was elected from the Juniors and several will probably make the team. The Class play, “Putting It Over,” went over big, showing ability in dramatics. The Juniors seem to be well supplied with musicians, having six in the band and seven in the Glee Club. New ideas for the outstanding social event of the year, the Junior Prom, are being discussed. The names of several Juniors are on the Honor Roll, so they are well rep- resented scholastically as in outside activities. ROCK SOPHOMORES Top: Lundcr, Andolshck, Munro, Renshaw.

Vedell. 1 bis year a smaller class of Sophomores entered school. Many of the stu- dents Who had been Presides the year before were not back. However, the Sophomores took up their duties with a wall, and made plans to properly in- itiate the Frosh. This they did with enthusiasm. The members of the class took part in many activities and made a good showing in athletics, music, and dramatics. The class is one to be proud of and it is hoped that in the future they will continue to take as much interest in their school as they have in the past — 1931= MEDICINE ROCK FRESHMEN Top: Hunt (Sponsor), Olson, C.

Bartlett, M. Renshaw, J. Arpan. Twenty-four Freshmen entered Carter High School this year; this is the largest class in school. In many other ways they have much to be proud of. The Freshman Class gave a return party to the Sophomore Class on Novem- ber 14th. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and believed that it was the best party that has ever been given at the high school. Two Freshman hoys who made the football team were Richard Olsen, half- back, and Bruce Snow., guard. They were both good players and deserve much credit. Two Freshman girls who make the Honor Roll every six weeks are Morine Renshaw and Hazel Lavell. □- □ MEDICINE FOOTBALL Top• Lambert, Wear, Bartlett, Snow, Olsen, L. Wheeler. Newbary. Bottom: Buck, Quam, S. Wheeler, Oliver (Gapt.), Harpster, Hubbard. The football season opened with seven letter men on the field. Under the guidance of Coach Berg we began an incessant grind ot practice. Our goal was not only to win Put to give our opponents a square deal, rive games were played, resulting in two victories and three defeats. Games were played with the following teams: Baker, Terry, Wibaux, Ekalaka Town Team. With only three men leaving the team: Oliver, hope to have as good a team next year. Marshall for 1931.

Macnab, Martz (Coach). The C. C. H. S. girls advanced in their number of victories this year, their average being fifty per cent. The year 1 31 will be known as one of the most successful in basketball for Carter High, 'the girls had not reached their de- sired goal w’hen the basketball season was forced to an end. Games were played yith: Sentinel Butte, Plevna, Ismay, Mildred, and Brockway. Miss Martz has coached the girls successfully for the last two years. W do not know what is in store for the coming year hut with some of the regulars remaining, it is sure to prove successful, t he Senior girls leaving the team hope that luck will favor the team ol ’32. The Seniors who are leaving are: Dorothy Beach, Y’Vonne Arpan, Betty Macnab, and Mildred Kortum. □ 1931 □ MEDICINE ROCK Boys Basketball Top: Newbary, Harpstcr, Lundberg (Coach), Nadler, Bruner. Bottom: Bart- lett, Myers (Captain), Oliver, Mumedy. On November 18, about twenty men reported to Coach Lundberg for bask- etball practice, with only one letter man from the 1930 team reporting. In spite of the late start, Coach Lundberg had a combination formed for the first game with Sentinel Butte on November 28 that gave a very creditable account of themselves in spite of their inexperience. By mid-season the team was weeded down to about ten men who reported regularly for practice. As the season drew on a smoot working quint was developed. But hard luck in the shape of epidemics overtook them and they were unable to complete the schedule. Marvin Meyers was the 1931 captain. Games were played with Sentinel Butte, Camp Crook, Ismay, Mildred, Plevna, Sumatra and, Forsyth. ___ 1931- 1 MEDICINE ROCK DORMITOR Y The Carter County Dormitory of 19-51 was successfully managed by Mrs. Rena McClellan of Rig Sandy, Montana. At the beginning of the school term there were seventeen students boarding there. However, this group of boys and girls were soon facing many difficulties. Luck seemed ag.iinst the dor- mitory when on the first of December a fire starting from a small stove up- stairs! destroyed nearly all the rooms on the second floor. Carpenters were lured immediately to rebuild as much of the burned building as possible, but it was found that only four hoys and seven g.rls could be accommodated. Thus the number of students within the walls of the Dorm had dwindled to eleven. After the fire everyone thought that things would run more smoothly, but it was not long until an epidemic of mumps and chicken pox broke out and everyone had to undergo their share of sickness. Still the students and matron were not discouraged, and they were determined to make a good ending of all their misfortunes. With this as their goal we are sure that the year will bring to a finish one of the most successful years in the history of the dormitory. TRACK In 1930 the Girls Track Team placed in several events: Kirkwood, fir.d, shot put—third, discus throw; J. Macnab, second, discus throw; (). Elmore, second, throw for accuracy. • This year, 1931, about the same girls are out for track, and we expect them to make even a better showing than they did last year. The girls expect to start practicing as soon as the weather permits. The 1930 Boys’ Track Team came through the district meet at Baker in championship form to take first place. They placed in events as follows: Fifty-yard dash Olsen first, Newbary second; 100 yard dash, Olsen first. Ncw- bary third; 220 yard dash, Newbary second; 440 yard dash, Newbary third; half mile, Thompson, third; high jump. Brownfield first; shot put, Newbary third; javelin, Thompson first. Practice has begun for 1931 with one letter man reporting. They are working hard and another championship team is expected. 1931 BROADCASTER STAFF Top: Hubbard. G. Kennedy. B.

WITNESSES: HELEN LANTIS, The Countv Seat. The Town Pump. DOROTHY BEACH. Class Prophecy One evening, just as the moon peaked over the mountains, I was walking slowly through the forest, thinking of my high school days and wishing that I could see all of my classmates again. Suddenly 1 heard a faint voice calling for me to stop. 1 could not imagine from where the voice had come, but I obeyed. I looked down to the ground and saw a little elf. It said, “Follow me to the banks of the river, and you will see your companions of the years in Carter High School.” I followed and as I approached the river I felt a spell coming over me. What could be the matter? A heavy fog fell about me. As it folded away I found myself entering a large theater. Above the door I saw the name of Dorothy Beach emblazoned in red letters three feet high. As I came inside the building. I saw a brilliant- ly lighted stage on which Dorothy was dancing and singing before a large audience. I was told that she was the world’s most accomplished dancer. As suddenly as it had come the picture faded and I felt myself rising. I was in an aeroplane, and my pilot was no other than Clarence Wilkoske. I wanted to speak to him but at that moment the engine began to sputter and I knew that 1 must jump for my life. I landed on a large cactus and I knew that I was in Arizona. Looking around me I saW a very large house with many people in front of it. A beautiful woman came toward me from the house. I recognized Helen Lantis. She told me that she and her husband were running a dude ranch for eastern people. MEDICINE ROCK She vanished suddenly and 1 seemed to be walking down a street in Eka- laka. In the yard of the public school was a group of children playing games. In their midst stood Gladys Johnson, instructing them. 1 immediately knew that she had reached her goal as a teacher. Farther down the street I saw another classmate, Pauline Vedell, coining toward me. There was a dark complexioned man With her. I learned from her that she had married immediately after her graduation. Like all the others they disappeared, and I found myself entering a court room in Chicago. I heard a commanding voice from somewhere in the room and looking up 1 saw a short little man talking to a large assembly. Foster Oliver Was pleading an important criminal case. Behind him I saw a slender girl, who 1 knew was Betty Macnab, taking notes rapidly in shorthand on Foster’s plea to a jury. Betty, too, had met success. Again, I was carried away and everything w'as a blank till I seemed to see a splendid school building with the inscription, “Enter.” As I passed through the corridor, I heard the blowing of a w'histle in the distance. Then 1 saw' a red-headed woman coaching a basketball team. When she saw me she came forth and I recognized Y’Vonne Arpan. She told me that her girls had won a silver cup for athletics. I was growing so accustomed to the disappearing of my friends that I was not surprised when this picture grew dim and vanished. With a pleasant feeling of happiness I entered a beautiful yard around a wrhite farmhouse. In front of the yard was Carl Quam and his wife, working. He told me that he owned a thousand acre farm. He took me into the house and turned on the radio. “What was that man’s name just announced?” I asked. Carl laughed and said, “Why, that is Harry Hamster, the United States’ most famous poet. Haven’t you read his latest book of humorous poems?” A cloud passed before my eyes and Carl, too, was lost to me. I was back on the banks of the river and with a heart and mind full of joy 1 returned to my home in San Francisco. It has been ten years since graduation, and 1 have been teaching English in the high school for the last six years. MILDRED KORTUM. I 1931 MEDICINE ROCK CLASS HISTORY The Class of 1031 entered the Carter County High School With an enroll- ment of twenty-three. We were the same as almost all other Freshman classes — green but promising. During the first nine months we learned in General Science what made the world go ’round. The Algebra class changed our a, b, c s to x, y, z's. Miss McCullum, our English teacher, ruthlessly weeded out some of our choice phrases, and we became very precise and prim. We were so very verdant that the upper classmen had much entertainment at our ex- pense, but we took the hazing as all good sportsmen should. In our second year we gathered in many demerit marks by trying to prove to the world how sophisticated we were. In our Junior year our heads had shrunk considerably, and we were pleased to have the lower classmen look up to us as though we were really going to be of importance. We had but one ambition—to be Seniors. The class worked hard to make the Junior Prom the best ever given. On May 2 our Junior Class play, “Ace High,” proved to be a great success. When we entered our last year as dignified Seniors we were only eleven in number, but we were determined to win. Of the eleven, Dorothy Beach, Pauline Vedell, and Helen Lantis, have been together since the first grade. Our first duty as Seniors was to select our class rings, and after much agreement and debate the rings were ordered. Our next duty Was that of selecting the motto, flower, and colors. It was decided that “Rowing, Not Drifting,” was most ap- propriate for our class, so it was chosen for the motto. Our flower, the lilac, our colors, lavender and green, were chosen because of their appropriateness to the season. Next came the excitement of announcements, then the selection of the Senior play, “Apple Blossom Time.” Now we are eagerly looking for- ward to Class Night and Commencement, when we shall receive our diplomas, and happily, yet regretfully, leave Carter County High School forever, feel- ing that we are profited by her careful guidance and instruction. Miss Helen Barron as our Senior sponsor helped us to make our play a success and ad- vised us in all our difficulties, making our path more pleasant. Our faculty composed of such efficient and capable men and women, is deserving of all our admiration, enthusiasm, praise and thanks. Y’VONNE ARPAN, PAULINE VEDELL.
