It is one of thone hard working, seldom seen committees; their biggest worry is a balanced budget. Multiple duties include paying bills, keeping track of text books used, and buying new ones, hiring instructors, and making all necessary additions needed to run a high school. One of their chief concerns this spring was the landscap - ing of the school lawn. BOARD OF EDUCATION JAMES B. ARMSTRONG, CHAIRMAN FRANCES SCHULTZ, SECRETARY MRS EVA K BUTCHER LEE CASTLEBERRY VERNON SILVIS WALTER GUYER S.J EMSWILER Hunt m j ror the first time in the history of the school, Carter High gathered all its alumni for a Homecoming. Special pro- grams were arranged for the two days, October 2° and 2o, to make the old grads feel they still belonged; and to show them a good time. The fun began on Tuesday evening with a Kangaroo Court to punish the beardless and ended with a dance and coronation of the Homecoming queen, Dorothy Ludwick, on Wednesday evening. The coronation was an outstanding feature of the victory dance. Queen Dorothy was crov ned by Hugh Armstrong, football captain, in an appropriate ceremony, assisted by her attendants, Freida Yates, Lola Mary Speelmon, Betty Thompson and Margaret Owen. Rose Ann Rowley acted as crown bearer. The Bulldogs downed Wibaux in an exciting game before a large crowd of alumni and friends—and proved their Homecoming slogan of “Wallop Wibaux . Committees which arranged the festivities were as follows: Tickets: Mr. Rowley LaVerne Halmquist Advertising: Miss Skogestad Alice Bazil Music: Mr. Main Mary Anderson Warren Chapman Dance and Coronation: Miss McCullough Pep Rally and 3onfire: y Mr. Richter Marshall She1den Virgil Major Hurray Emerson Lucille Kennedy ITadine Speelmon John McCumsey Football Came: Mr. Greer Robert Beuskens F RE SHUIE (1 Ethel Arnold Bonnie Askins Dorothy Boggs Dorothy 3rantley Lester Brower Rex Catron Betty Chamberlain Florence Collins Mary Cridland Duane Dague Francis Dague Helen Donald Thelma Elraore Harold Fowler Harry Fowler Lula Fowler Francis Cross Charles Guyer Shirley G-uyer Maude Hickey Dorothy Horton Margie Hurst Jackie Jamieson Minnie Kingsley Margaret Kreitel Retha Lee Arlene Ludwick LaVerne McCord John McCumsey Madge Malmquist Phyllis Mulkey Ruth Oxford Dorothy Peabody Patsy Penn Homer Pulse Esther Rose Shirley Sjoblom Nadine Spcelmon Veda Strand Viola Strand Joyce Thimmesch Betty Thompson Robert Townsend Walter Trabert Gertrude Webster Rose Webster Fern Welch Joe Woodward Adviser - Mr, William Richter Hurst.

Guyer, Johnnie McCumsey, Jr. Dutiful servility characterizes these youngsters who are picked to do the work the other classes no longer have the inclination to do. The processing begins when the freshmen are duly initiated by the sophs during the first week of school. Next they are called upon to gather wood, build fires, guard fires, and finally in the spring to paint the C. All these duties imbue the froohios with a deop spirit of tradition. In the class room we see the kiddies, sitting straight and quiet, each holding a wormy green apple for the teacher. But have patience—they'll soon learn. Usually they have a terrific amount of trouble keeping a pace behind the sophomores, but this year's class has both scholarship and athletes. They would like to believe they are the best class in school. Robert Townsend was delegated to lead his class through the chaos of the freshman year. Nadine Speelmon was vice president and Arlene Ludwick,secretary and treasurer. Carter 26 — Broadus 8 a f 4 First victim of the Bulldogs attack was the powerful and favored Powder River team. In the first half Kennedy made a touchdown for the Bulldogs only to have Broadus come hack and net themselves a touchdown and a try for point leaving score at the half 8-6. The second half the Bulldogs took to the air and raised the score to 26-8. Carter 58 — Broadus 8 The next game of the season was a return game with Broadus on the home field. Starting slow and cautiously Carter manager, to keep a touch- down ahead of Broadus the first half. The second half Carter opened up and turned loose the hall carriers for a touchdown every two minutes and ended the game 58-8 in their favor. Carter 0 — Terry 46 Teh Bulldogs met the only defeat of the season when they journeyed to Terry. The Terriers proved to he a fast hard-hitting hall cluh. Hold- ing their own the first quarter, Carter18 defense slackened as the game progressed, Terry scoring mostly on pass plays ran the score to 47-0 in their favor. Carter 26 — Wihaux 13 Before a large crowd of Homecoming fans the Bulldogs won a hard fought game over Wihaux hy a score of 26-13, The game was a battle with neither team giving up an inch of unfought yardage. This was the last game of the season and the last for six of the seniors.

A nonchalent attitude is carried over from the frosh year. The apples on the teacher’s desk, however, are redder, more pol- ished, and chosen with more care—proof that the youthful mind is maturing Traditionally, a soph's head is supposed to he quite empty except for swe?.led pride, and wise notions. The class of '43 showed some exceptions—they gave the frosh the usual initia- tion and party, instructed the frosh on how to paint the C, and took their turn at serving the basketball squad. Ho athletic stars cane from their ranks, yet they are sure that they are the best class in school. Guiding the class were Ross Yates as president and Charlotte Cunningham as vice president. Zoe Dague kept the records, and Anabel Whitney, who transferred from Belle Fourche, the nickels. Back row—R. Yates, E. Gr.r iner, L. Kali, Lasater L.. Butler, S. Butler, L. Gundlach, E. Carter.

The juniors are experienced apple-polishers, having been at the trade now for three years. However, at times they may bo soon pursuing the academics with something bordering on enthusiasm. Hence, we often find them in the library copying notes from which they recite the next day, thus hoping to put a new gloss on their teacher’s favorite fruit. Being next to the top is the usual third year position, but the class of ’42 had the Homecoming Queen, Dorothy Ludv ick. They ranked second to seniors on the honor roll, and in furnishing athletes for football and basketball. They are friendly and shoved themselves to be good mixers and they believe they are the best class in school. Being lovers of good music,they chose flutist Dick Cleveland as class director, and Billy Kennedy, assistant.

BAND Under the direction of Mr. Main, the hand members have shown much improvement, not only in their music, but in their marching ability as well There are more members this year than there has ever been, which may account for at loast part of the improvement The school has purchased new flags, consequently, two color bearers and three color quards march directly behind the band leader, me drum majorettes have new batons which also adds to the appearance of the band Concerts were given occasionally to show the public how the musical organizations were progressing Besides playing at tho basketball games, the band added entertainment to many of our school programs. CHORUS At special school assemblies and at church, the a cap'oella chorus has shown that they have been well trained under the direction of Mr. Main, music instructor On March fifteenth, a musical comedy, Revolution in Eurolania, was presented by the chorus and other members chosen? from within tho school. The comedy proved very successful and was given again at a later date. The chorus attended the Miles City and G-lendive music meets.at which glee clubs from all over Southeastern Montana took part. The songs they sang in Miles City were recorded and played before the assembly after the festival.

Their sponsor, Miss Skogestad, urged them to go slowly but the dozen budding journalists soon proved their ability and have been reforming things ever since. The first issue of 11 Carter Broadcaster during 1940-41 was hailed as remarkable for a beginning class, but critics were due for even more surprising developments than that,Ekala.1 Il- ians soon declared the Broadcaster to be better than ever before in Carter's history and before the year was out, the Montana Interscholastic Editorial Association showed that they thoroughly agreed by selecting the Broadcaster for membership on the all-state staff. The class sent five of its members to the Journalism convention in Missoula, one of whom acted as the Broadcaster's representative on the state staff In order to get acquainted with other journa- lists, to arouse interest in school publications and to solve mutual problems, four members of the staff attended a neighborhood meeting at Clondive in November Carter proadcasier staff Editor-in-chief.........

An effort was made to keep it a true record of one year in Carter County High School. Pictures were printed instead of being pasted as vas formerly done.To separate each division, different cuts were used for autumn, spring, snd winter. Our editor, Sybil Sjoblom, and her assistants, have tried to •produce a neat, readable book that will be worth treasuring.

Among the duties they performed were those of serving lunch to visiting and home basketball teams, choosing and sponsoring the cheer le? ders, and arranging assem- bly programs. At basketball games they wore white blouses and navy skirts and sat near the band. Miss Jacqueline McCullough was sponsor for the club. Leading the cheers this year were Murray Emerson, Lucille Kennedy, Johnny McCumsey and Hadine Speelmon. Each class was represented by four members in the club together with four girls who were chosen as all school members.

The Carter County team led all the way in chalking up a 31-24 victory. Carter s lead at the end of each Quarter was 7-6, 16-13 and 20-16. The Bulldogs pulled another victory out of the frying pan by downing Sacred Heart and forged on into the final contest for District 4 honors After a first quarter lead of 8-5, Ekalaka went scoreless for the second quarter, while Sacred Heart piled up a half-time lead of 16-8. The boys took Greer1s half-time lecture to heart, however, and a 22-21 victory from the champions. In the final game against Terry, Ekalaka put the score at 6-2 the first quarter and 10-7 at the half. Then Terry closed the gap, but Carter spurted for an 18-14 edge during the third quarter despite the loss of Murray Trout, senior center, on fouls The Bulldogs outscored Terry, 9-8 in the last quarter, in which officials called fouls right and left. Terry lost two players while Carter finish- ed without Heggen and Volin Jerome Emswiler, Ekalaka forward, topped the scores with 9 points followed by his running-mate, Loken, with 8. The Bulldogs won the championship on sheer ability, because no breaks in the draw favored the team. They paved their way into the district tournament by winning a subdivision playoff at Baker; then, first off, drew Jordan, the only undefeated team in the district. GIRLS BASKETBALL Friday the thirteenth seems to stick to the old tradition of being bad luck, for it was Friday the Thirteenth of December that the girls basketball squad opened it3 rather unsuccessful season. On that particu- lar day it was defeated, 26 to 21, on the home floor by the Ismay girls The return game showed no better results for Carter. The score was 39 to 26 On January 17th the squad won the only victory of the season by de- feating the Plevna girls on the home floor with a margin of twelve points However, the return game was the most serious defeat of the season, 54 to 25. Only about twelve girls came out for basketball, four lettermen of tho previous season, four freshman, and four who had a small amount of experience Ten girls have earned letters. nut R L L SEASON'S RECORD Score Score Ekalaka 29 Won 11 Camp Crook Ekalaka 14 Won 12 Camp Crook Ekalaka 17 Lost 27 Wibaux Ekalaka 24 Won 10 Buffalo Ekalaka 29 Won 17 Baker Ekalaka 22 Won 17 Ismay Ekalaka 25 Won 13 Broadus Ekalaka 3S Won 23 Ollie Ekalaka 20 Lost 27 Ismay Ekalaka 15 Lost 30 Plevna Ekalaka 36 Won 13 Ollie Ekalaka 30 Won 18 Broadus Ekalaka 26 Lost 28 Plevna Ekalaka 26 Won 10 Baker Ekalaka 15 Lost 19 Ismay Ekalaka 27 Won 16 Mildred Ekalaka 33 Won 8 Baker Ekalaka 31 Won 24 Jordan Ekalaka 22 Won 21 Sacred Heart Ekalaka 27 Won 22, Terry 505 346 Individual Scores for Season Games I.

Four years— a lot of apples—one day and it’s over. Few ever return, except perhaps years later, to deliver a commencement address, or as a congressman, to give a little advice on politics. At the Alumni-Senior banquet they are welcomed as new members of the Alumni Association, and eating their way to new importance, swell their chests to proper proporations. They consider themselves the best class in school, Margaret Owen was such a smiling pleasantry that she was forded to assume the office of senior proxy. Hugh Armstrong carried the heavy burden of vice president. Jean Malmquist handled the funds and Gladys Watkins recorded the meetings.

SENIORS CLASS HISTORY There have been six great events in the history of this world. The first was the appearance of Adam and Eve. The second was the rise of King Tut. The third was the death of Julius Caesar. The fourth was the crossing of the Atlantic by Columbus. The fifth was the reign of Jack Dempsey. And the sixth was the entrance of the Class of 1941 into Carter County High School. Of these the first five were of minor importance. Adam and Eve, I believe, are now dead. King Tut is in a museum. Julius has been eclip- sed by Mussolini. Columbus has moved to Ohio. And Jack Dempsey is just a faded cauliflower. But the class of 1941, not only is history, but is still making history. On September 7, 1937, forty-two meek, frightened freshmen crept un- hesitatingly through the portals of Carter County High School. What in- struments of torture might be awaiting us we did not know; from the dun- geon horrors of medieval England, to the guillotine of France, to the electric chair of modern America, we suspected and expected everything. Nineteen meek girls huddled into one group and twenty-three humble boys (there was no chivalry in our class in those days) huddled into another. Those stern, heartless teachers scared us by voicing nothing beyond the ordinary directions. That pack of reprobates, the sophomores also scared us by saying anything they could think of that might have a dampening effect on our order and to discourage our ambition to become educated so that we might all become presidents of the United States. In spite of all this we prospered during that first year. Little by little our greenness wore off, and our true intelligent natures began to assert themselves. It was during that year, that the first four of our members, Betty Joe Gundlach, Wilma Kennedy, Max Elmore,and Lloyd Stewart, fell by the wayside. Perhaps it was when they learned that Alexander Hamilton left school at nine years and finally became Secretary of the Treasury that they decided against the evils of further education. Marshall Sheldon and Andrew Kingsley were absent most of the second sem- ester because of sickness. The remaining thirty-six of us survived the various tasks set before us by those whose work was the creating of gen- iuses, and came back in the f .11 of 1938 with the rank of sophomores. During that second year it took the combined efforts of all our teachers, and the juniors and seniors to keep us, having increased our number to forty-seven, properly squelched. In our new wisdom we wanted to symbolize the revolt of modern youth. And in that revolt four more of our members, Daisy Cline, William Cline, Marvin Dillon, And Harriet 'Pierce, decided that work was more profitable than school. Alice Gray, who transferred, and John Munro, who went to C. C. C. camp, also left our class. Of new members in our class there were ten, Jack Munro, Virgil Major, Margaret Owen, Ray Porter, Ross Keith, Alice Gray,Glenden Kreitel, Murray Emerson, Rena Elkins, and Richard Dinstel. It war during that year that some of the hoys in the class began to discover that the girls were human beings, and wore interesting; and likewise, a few of the feminine members discovered that a little smile is a dangerous thing. But it was not until our junior year that there developed any really serious love affairs. And even by the end of our second year we had not entirely learned that serious study is both unnecessary and unbecoming to a well brought up high school youth. • Our third year in Carter County High School was one of great pro- gress. In numbers we dropped to thirty-two, but in wisdom we became men- tal giants. Ve had just one new member, Elsie Finkbeiner, who later transferred. Ve learned how to recite upon various subjects without ad- vance preparation. We learned many successful excuses for avoiding home study and others for not having completed it. Ve became practiced in the art of finding reasons to be away from school, and other equally good arguments in favor of not making up the missing class work. Ve learned also that in union there is strength and that not more than one pupil should ever do a math lesson or complete a Latin translation. So it was with flying colors and unwearied minds, that in May of last year, we stood on the threshold of seniority. This year is all to recent and fresh in our memories to need histor- ical reproduction. Ve are again thirty-two in number.Glenden Krietel dropped from our ranks and two new members, Charles Volin and Marjorie Dinstel, were added to our class. I believe it more in keeping to take count of stock and list the damages which have been wrought in our pass- age through the schools of Ekalaka. Of damage to the schools I dare not report. The less said about initialed desks, penciled books, and bat- tered teachers, the better. Of damage to our minds there has been little. Vc learned to get along with a maximum of flowery speech and a minimum of brain racking effort. All in all ve report to graduation in fair con- dition and with bright hopes for the future. The last four years have been happy ones. Those who chose to live in the bliss of married life rather than the sorrows of knowledge have been eight, namely, Daisy Cline, Si rey Brower, Max Elmore, Betty Jo Gundlach, Goldie Pyles, Harold Stitser, Rena Elkins and Harriet Pierce. 0 Those others that fell by the wayside during cur four yeanrs in Carter County High School are now scattered far and near. Jack Munro is in Alaska; Alice and Myrtle Eldridgo are in California, Gladys Cridland is attending school in Camp Crook, South Dakota; and three more, William Cline, Lloyd Stewart and Sara B. Meyers are living in this community. One of our enrolled class, Wilma Kennedy, died from a heart disease. Our teachers and our principal have done everything that human be- ings possibly could do to rake our time spent both profitable and pleas- ant. Our associations with one another have been pleasant too, and fruitful of lasting friendships that will continue for the remainder of our lives. Whatever our success and future happinoss, I an suro that each one of us will be a Die to look back on our days at Carter County High School and say: 11 Those were the four happiest years of iay life.” CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1941 of Carter County High School, being this day in an unusually cheerful frame of mind,do give and bequeath what we consider our most valuable possessions to the under classmen who stand most in need of them. We trust that they will use these gifts wisely and well and that these will afford their new possessers as much success and happiness as they have we who are about to leave Carter High. To the members of the faculty we leave our gratitude and apprecia- tion for the patience they have shown during our struggle toward wisdom� We will our caps and gowns to the junior class though we fear that the number of six-footers in the class of 41 may make it necessary to shorten the gowns for the smaller class of 42.
