We became more and more acquainted with the field of journalism as time went by. We have published the CARTER BROADCASTER on time every two weeks except once which we published it in just one week so we have upheld the good name of our school paper.' We are members of the Montana Interscholastic Editorial Association. We are also members of the Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. To become members of this latter group, the student must be of junior or senior standing, in the upper third of his class, must have shown superior work in some phase of journa- lism, must be recommended by the instructor and must be approved by the Executive Secretary of the Society. Those who qualified for the Quill and Scroll were Veda Strand, Viola Strand, Arlene Ludwick, and Charles Guyer. Arlene Ludwick was elected president; Veda Strand, vice-president; and Viola Strand, secretary. They chose to name their group the Idella C. Dahl chapter in appreciation of the kindness and general interest in the journalistic endeavors of the Carter County high school of the editor of the Ekalaka Eagle. We have produced the MEDICINE ROCK this year and we feel as if we are ready to turn our task over to the senior class of 43. Carter county high school hoard of education meets every Tuesday following the first Monday of each month. Through their wise regu- lation of business affairs, Carter high is a successful and desirable school.

Early in the year we organized our class and elected the officers Robert Townsend was chosen president; Nadine Speelmon, vice president; Arlene Ludwick, secretary and treasurer. Mr. Richter was our class sponsor during our Freshman year. This must have been a brighter class than former ones, as they were initiated the first week of school. Though a very trying ordeal they lived through it, and soon forgot it. This first year of Homecoming Betty Thompson was niminated class queen. The freshman also had to obtain fuel for the bonfire and produced enough for a big one. Ruth Oxford received a scholastic letter this year. A much wiser class we ended our first year of high school life. The next year 42 sophomores came back to enlarge on their knowledge. After proving very capable the year before Robert Townsend was again chosen president, with Veda Strand and Betty Thompson to help him. Mr. Richter took the respons- ibility of sponsoring us again. This year we could laugh at the new class of Freshmen who were as green as we had been. This year Homecoming was again a big event and because of our success last year we again nominated Betty Thompson as class queen. After much work we won and Queen Betty I reigned over the Homecoming dance. Ten members dropped out of our class but nine more entered, they wore: Verna. Frye, Doris Douglas, Gordon Kirkwood, Mode Wells, Earl Gundlach, Ernest Metzenburg, Byron Yates, and Evelyn Carter. One member, Homer LaBreck, was lost through death. Now we are upperclassmen and though our number is getting smaller we are fast becoming mental giants. Only 36 members came back this year with no new members entering. Johnny Mc- Cumsey was elected president; Rex Catron, vice president; Veda Strand, secretary; and Arlene Ludwick, treasurer. Miss Gall- agher and Miss Laughlin were our class sponsors. After Miss Laughlin left, Miss Gallagher had the entire responsibility. Although we lacked much in dignity we had gained much know- ledge. This year we had the responsibility of giving the Junior Prom. The theme was patriotic, with flags of the allied nations prominently displayed. It was informal as we wanted to help Uncle Sam. The Junior play was a comedy The Sunshine Twins0, and was a grand success. We also bought our class rings this year. Esther Rose v on a scholastic letter. Alasi We are scniors;the most envied position in school life. But we soon found out there was more work than we expected. To lead us through this eventful year we elected Murray Townsend, president; Johnny McCumsey, vice president; Doris Douglas, secretary, and Betty Thompson, treasurer. Murray transferred the end of the first semester so Johnny took over his duties. We are still 36 in number although three new members entered our class. They were: Arlin Clock- sin, Murray Townsend and Sherrill Butler. Four boys entered the service boforo the end of the year; Johnny McCumsey, Robert Metzenberg, Joe Woodward, and Robert Townsend. Some of our members chose a career of marriage before the end of the year, but they finished with the class. The first event of our senior year was the Senior Barn Dance on December 18, 1943. Homecoming was a big event in our life as Arlene Ludwick won the honor of becoming Homecoming Queen. The sen - ior play was presented on April 8, 1944. It was a mystery- comedy, ,!Me and My Shadow”. Sneak day, the Senior breakfaet, and the sea food supper wero also very exciting events. On April 28 we entered the world with bright hopes for the future. All our thanks go to our teachers for putting forth their efforts to help us make a success of life. We will all re- member these four years as the happiest. Doris Douglas SEniOR PROPHECy It is the year 1954 and a beautiful evening in October. Everywhere in the town of Ekalaka are huge posters reading Old Home Week . Invitations were sent to all former resi- dents urging them to attend. All the talent for this program is strictly home talent. Every performer graduated from Carter County High School. The hour for the great event has arrived. Every seat in the auditorium is filled, and all are awaiting the performance. The platform is a mass of beautiful flowers, which were donated by SHIRLEY SJOBLOM and CHARLES GUYER who are partners in a florist shdp Seated in the audience are many celebrities. As I look about me, I see a number of my old classmates. There is JOHN McCUMSEY who became very wealthy through wise investments, and is now a noted philanthropist. His money is paying for much of the Old Home Week expenditures. The ladies in the front seats are all so stylishly and becomingly dressed that they arouse my curiosity. Their garments came from the very select and expensive, shop of BETTY THOMPSON, who designs gowns for all the best-dressed women in the country. She is herself and looks the glass of fashion and the mold of forms . Seated next to her is ARLIN CLOCKSIN who operates the well known Beauty Salon on Main Street. Seated near her is HOMER PULSE, a real estate dealer who owns so much property that he has to keep a card index of it in order to know what he has himself. Seated at one side watching with interest, I see VEDA and VIOLA STRAND . I am told that they are the head mistresses of the fashionable girls1 school located at Ridgeway. Standing in the door, I find HAROLD FOWLER, editor of the largest daily paper in the state, and his assistant JOE WOOD- WARD. Except that he has grown a trifle stouter and looks more cheerful, HAROLD has not changed a bit since his high school days. Four people enter, receiving a warm reception from the committee at the door. They are DR. ROBERT TOWNSEND, a famous surgeon in a large hospital, his wife FLORENCE, and, attractive as ever, DORIS DOUGLAS and MADGE DILLON, superin- tendent of nurses and head nurse in the same hospital. If there are any accident. tonight we feci sure the sufferers I will be properly attended. A round of applause greets the man Just taking a seat 7 the window. He looks familiar and yet not quite enough. Oh, he waves his hands around and talks excitedly. Kow I know who he is HARRY ECWLER. Remember how he usea to love astronomy and meteorology and all that stuff? he s turned his knowledge to good account and now he is the weather nan. It is he who furnished the splendid weather for t..e Old Home Week, and that is why he was so wildly applauded. Every drvy he sends out his little bulletins and often the weather is just as he predicted. . A women is sketching the people as they come in , doing it very well, indeed for I peep over her shoulder to see. Yes it's JOYCE THIMKESCH. Right now she is sketching JUnEL Jikx . who has a job of modeling in Hew York City. They say JOYC- has become quite famous as an illustrator of magazine stories and newspaper articles. And she said this wasn t tne first sketch that she has made of ETHEL. _ And now the entertainment is to begin. There is a hushed expectancy. The lights in the auditorium fade and the foot- lights flash on. - Before the packed house appears a tall, degnified iigure who makes an eloquent address of welcome. I remember our famous class debater, ROBERT METZEHBERG. He was lawyer for a time and now is a judge of the state supreme court. He acts as master of ceremonies, also, and after his excellent spec- introduces the performers. The judge announces that after the entertainment refresh- ments will be served through the courtesy of KISSES HELEN DON- ALD and DOROTHY BOGGS; who are the proprietors of the delight- ful Old Homo Tea Room. As he speaks the words, my mouth waters, for I havo not forgotten the refreshments they served v hen they entertained the class years ago. How the entertainment begins. There is gay music furn- ished by SHIRLEY GUYER and her famous all-girl orchestra. Then on the stage in the spotlight appears a figure kissing her hand to the audience as an attendant arranges a wir® across the stage. It's LULA 3RCWER, who always said she would be a dancer in a circus. She has certainly kept her word. The Judge says she is the most clever wire dancer in the world. Then the Judge introduces two prosperous looking ladies who say thev are Broadway song writers and authors of many popular song hits. They are RUTH OXFORD and FERN WELCH, and they play and ing for us three of their latest coranositions. One was written for the occasion and called ”01d Home Folks”, } Next comes a Mg surprise. Miss Glorianna DeLorme, the famous movie actress, and it is our old friend, VERNA FRYE, very much changed I She has golden hair and is better looking than ever, but she seems to have acquired a foreign accent. Now she's dropped the accent and is talking as she used to talk. She's tolling all about Hollywood and how she became famous, also of her acquaintance and companionship of two other famous stars MINNIE KINGSLEY and PATSY PENN. She also tells us that she has acted in several movies directed by PHYLLIS MULKEY, the famous woman movie director. They were unable to be with us tonight because of a derailed train be- tween Ekalaka and Baker. And now two ladies appear on the stage in dancing cos- tumes. They are the WEBSTER sisters, ROSE and GERTRUDE, the famous tap dancing team. They do a little dance for us accom- panied by ESTHER ROSE at the piano. Next is a famous violinist. Yes, of course, it’s MURRAY TOWNSEND and he plays even better than he said he would. He has just returned from a concert tour in Europe. The spotlight is now shifted to the auditorum organ, and the Judge introduces DOROTHY BRANTLEY, now organist in a city Church, and MARGARET KREITEL a teacher in an institute of organ music. They play beautifully and look not a day older than when they played in the school orchestra. Now upon the platform strolls SHERRILL BUTLER, with a book in his hand. He needs no introductio� from the Judge. SHERRILL BUTLER the author of those delightful short stories .' He reads us two of them and then gives a charming talk, tell- ing how his friends in the old home town inspired them. Then, last of all, looking stunning in an elaborate eve- ning gown, comes MARGIE HURST. She is a writer of plays and has two successful ones running on Broadway now. Then the entire audience rises, as the performers all appear on the stage at once. Our organist and our violinest play, and led by ARLENE LUDWICK, conductor of a famous radio chorus, we all sing, ”Auld Land Syne” and adjourn for the promised refreshments from the Old Home Tea Room. It has been a real delight to see all our old friends so young and prosperous, so generous of their money and talent. In short, it has been an Old Home Week to be proud of and the old homo folks should be happy to have such celobritios as those for their very own. - SEntOR aim My friends, I have called you to assemble here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs and assigns of my respected client, the class of 1944, may hear her last will and testa- ment, which, as her legal advisor, I drew, as directed by her, immediately prior to her passing from our presence. It was her intention and would have been her great plea- sure to present you personally with these tokens of her es- teem, but, finding her possessions were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was impossible, par- ticularly as her last days wore so occupied with social en- gagements and other dates not so social, but of great im- portance to the future, which she was obliged to keep with various members of the faculty. On these occasions, such weird and unexpected questions were addressed to her, an immediate answer in writing being required, that the strain left her too weary for additional effort. We, the class of 1944, in the town of Ekalaka, the county of Carter, and the state of Montana, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: We give and bequeath, freely and without reservations or stipulations, to the junior class, our rightful heirs, and to their heirs and assigns forever, our most important and valuable properties, our self-satisfaction, our importance, and wiBdom, all of which we possess in enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present inertia. We also leave the junior class our good luck. It made us what we are to-day, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this, all our privileges and rights as seniors in class- room will revert to them, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, unfinished lollypops, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged in the business of being a senior. To our good friends, the sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. To the young and unsophisticated freshmen-to-be we leave a map of the school building, so that they will not get lost and roam about in everybody’s way looking for their clast- rooms. We include our little book entitled, How to Tell the Teachers , a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of arduous study. To the freshman class,soon to be sophomores, we have left nothing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as v:orthy their distinction. To our principel we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our four years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds of noteworthy achievements that our future may c o n - tain, realizing that such glories—if any—will owe much to his example and counsel. To our teachers we bequeath our very kindest regards and sinceie gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. The smaller individual bequests are as follows: Johnny KcCumsey gives his secret of that irresistible something that causes teachers to weaken under his spell and releases him from punishment for his misdemeanors to Leland Gimdlach. Veda Strand leaves numerous stencils and a bottle of correction fluid to next yoar’s stencil cutter.. Sherrill Butler wills his keen interest in girls to Harold Stuart. Ruth Oxford sorrowfully leaves her cud of gum to Gloria Ludwick. She will find it under the desk in Room 6. Harold Fowler and Joe Woodward leave their book entitled How to Play Hookey and Get Caught to Algy Dillon and Joe Shuffield. Due to the man shortage Lula Brower, Madge Dillon, Ethel Frye, and Florence Townsend have decided to give up their husbands for the duration to anyone less fortunate than they. Homer Pulse leaves hie car for the next scrap drive. Helen Donald wills her ability to write 3est Foot For- ward to Eugene Schultz. Margie Hurst wills her love for English IV to Skeeter Hedges. Arlin Clocksin give® her ability to take shorthand dic- tation at 120 words a minute to whoever may need it next year. s • ?•}' • ■ Betty Thompson loaves her position as cheer leader to Anna Hozdal. Charles Guyer wills his keen sense of humor to Miss Dick- son. Patsy Penn leaves a bundle of notes from those old beaux for Bonye Kalstrom providing she will take good care of them. Dorothy Brantley wills her soprano voice to Dean Gray, while Esther Rose leaves her dignity to Mary Ellen Woodward. Shirley Sjoblom loaves his unpatented paper folder to the journalism staff for next year. In order to aid Albert Douglas to get to class on time Bonnie Askin gives him locker Ko. 118. It has no lock. Murray Townsend wills his bashfulness to Eleanor Peterson. Pern Welch leaves her jokes with Vincent Taylor. Dorothy Boggs quietly leaves her quietness to Harriet Nies. Verna Frye wills her brown eyes to Dick Rolfson. Hereafter Wilma Boggs will claim Minnie Kingsley1® in- terest in the armed forces while Bob Metzenberg gives ylc Hahm his place with Uncle Sam. Joyce Thinmesch requests that we will her interest in the Ekalaka Grade School to Betty Meyer. Gertrude and Rose Webster will their ability to get along as sisters to Erma Lea and Doris Taylor. To Billie Tiedenann goes Viola Strand’s permanent blush. Dorothy Guyer shall claim possession of Margaret Kreitels black hair. Bob Townsend wills his hopes of becoming a nationally famous basketball star to Donald Boggs. Shirley Guyer thinks Don Pulse needs her earnest, en- deavor. Arlene Ludwick kindly wills her Quill and Scroll pin to Alberta Yates as editor of 1944-45. Phyllis Mulkey wants Bruce Shelden to cultivate her graceful, poised walk ' Doris Douglas wills her place on the honor roll to Lawernce Klauzer. Harry Fowler leaves all his rights to any person, places, or things by reason of prior discovery to the junior boys. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-eighth day of April, Nineteen hundred anf forty-four. Signed: The Senior Class t � — L C A S Top Row; Left to Right; P.

The first class meeting was September 15 and the following class officers were elected: Minnie Jean Brady, president, Alberta Yates, vice-presi- dent; Fern McCamish, secretary-treasury; and Mrs. Hunt, advisor. Minnie Jean Brady was nominated from the junior class for Homecoming Queen. Our junior play, 11 Gone With the Girls” was given December 10. It was a grand success and the class made enough money to give a junior prom. The prom was formal and given on March 17. We decorated the gym in blue and pink and the lunch room was decorated in St. Patricks fashion. It was a great success and every one looked beautiful. We have ordered our class rings, but due to the war they have not arrived. The junior class held its place on the honor roll as well as in other school events. —Fern McCamish Top How; Left to Right: R. Lee, D. Gray, R. Emerson, L. Hahm, J. Schweigert, B. Cooper, D.

As president we chose Celia Owen, Lyle Hahm as vice president, and Mabel Pyles held the office of treasurer, secretary and what - ever else the sophomores needed during the year. We were also ably assisted throughout the year by Miss Dickson whom we all praise very highly and we credit her with starting many of the things the sophomores successfully accomplished during the year. One of the first major events of the year was our second participation in initiation in Carter high and the first one that we really enjoyed. Then came football and homecoming in which Celia Owen represented the sophomores as queen candidate. The sophomores took several of the leading parts on the football field and some of the loudest cheers throughout the season came from the enthusiastic sophomore girls. The loyal support of Carter high was shown by the sophomores when they subscribed to the BROAD- CASTER 10056. Our basketball team this year consisted of half sophomores. This evidently shows what the sophomores exccld. Also this year w e have some very talented girl basketball players. Celia Owen, Marceline Sjoblom, and Leland Gundlach won honors this year from the National Poetry Association with Leland receiving honorable mention. These poems will be published in the Annual Anthology of High School Poetry. The sophomores closed their second year 0 f high school as ably as they started, b y winning the boys intramual basketball championship of 43-44. —Tommy Hurst 0 f Top Bow; Loft to Bight: L. Hlght, B.
