Text from Pages 1 - 82 of the 1950 volume:

THE MEDICINE ROCK PUBLISHED BY THE JOURNALISM DEPARTMENT OF CARTER COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL EKALAKA, MONTANA E W o R Through the pages of this book we have endeavored to share with you the living reality and spirit of the priceless days spent in Carter County High School. Between the covers you will find many pleasant memories that may be mellowed, but never erased by the D22MCATl0n This issue of “The Medicine Rock” is respectfully dedicated to Mr. Marshall E. Lambert for his untiring efforts and interest in behalf of Carter Countv High School. As curator of the Carter County Museum he has succeeded in bringing the town of Ekalaka and the museum nation- wide fame for its excellent exhibits in the preservation of pre-historic animals. Mr. Lambert, is a teacher in the science department, and is also counselor of the guidance department. As sponsor of Science, Inc., he has instructed the students in the fields of photography and taxidermy. Even beyond his full schedule of curricular activities, he has worked actively with the Ekalaka Lions Club, an organization whose members devote themselves to the betterment of the community. For all the above and for his numerous other activities in and out of school, we nominate Mr. Marshall Lambert man of the year (book). ADMINISTRATION CHAIRMAN — — — — — Vernon Silvis VICE-CHAIRMAN — — Walter Anderson SECRETARY — — — Mrs. DeLoss Hall Mrs. Nora Schallenberger Mrs. Margaret Renshaw Mr. Frank Laird Mrs. Vivian Castleberry Carter County High School Board of Educa- tion meets the first Tuesday after the first Mon- day of each month. Through the board’s efficient management and Mr. William C. Rowley’s hard working and devoted interest in the students’ welfare. Carter Hi has had an active and prosperous year. A proposed addition to house Vocational-Ag de- partments was voted on on April 1, but Un- people of Carter County apparently did not consider themselves ready to carry an additional tax burden, and the measure was defeated. However, the need of such a project has been brought to the attention of the people and con- siderations are being made to reconsider the proposed plan. FACULTY First Row: Left to Right, Lenore Scheid, Virginia Driscoll, Joanne Curran, John Beamer. Second Row: Left to Right, Marshall Lambert, Edward E. Short, Charles Ridenour, Mr. William C. Rowley. ROWLEY — Mathematics, Bookkeeping Along with his numerous and demanding duties as principal, Mr. Rowley still keeps his finger in the pedagogical pie, teaching freshmen and seniors the mysteries of mathematics. And speaking oi pie, Carter Hi's prmcipal can juggle his pots, pans and pastry recipes like a prolessional. Cooking is one of his favorite spare-time pursuits, with garatumg, in wmch he is equally capable, a close runnei-up. LAMBERT — Chemistry, Geology, Museum Director. Science is Mr. Lambert’s consuming interest. “Dry Bones might well be his theme song, for he’s usually surrounded by them. An air force pilot before he joined the faculty, and native Ekalakan, Mr. Lambere was lounder ol the popular Science, Inc. His capable direction has made the Carter County Museum a “must for visitors in this section of Montana. SHORT — Coaching, Physical Ed. History. Mr. Short’s skillful and vigorous coaching has given the Bulldogs a consistent lead in sectional athletics, while his lively sense of humor keeps history classes hopping. For his own amusement. Mr. Short prefers to follow Isaac Walton. Give him a pole, a line and a stream full of trout and hell let the rest of the world go by. BEAMER — English IV, Social Stuuies, Library, Dramatics. A graduate of William Jewell College, Mr. Beamer sponsored this year’s largest class, the sopnomores. Equally interested in English and history, he finds it hard to separate the two and his classes often find themselves treated to a dip of both. His painstaking direction and apt casting made “Here Comes Charlie , the Junior play, one of the highlights of the season. RIDENOUR — Typing I, II, and Shorthand. Head of the high school commercial department, Mr. Ridenour, who was graduated from Oakland City College in 1949, put commercial subjects on students’ prefened list. His friendly but firm approach has encouraged his classes to put forth their best efforts, and stimulated constructive competition among students. Sponsor of the senior class, Mr. Ridenour also directed the hilarious “Tobaccy Road With Detours with tongue in cheek good humor. CURRAN — Band, Chorus, Glee Club, Girls’ Physical Ed. From Tschaikowsky to tumbling may seem something of a stretch, but Miss Curran literally doubled in brass this year. A graduate of Moorhead State Teacher’s College, where she majored in art and music. Miss Curran added physical education, tumbling and folk dancing to her repertoire this season, as well as contributing her artistic talents to such varied enterprises as the carnival, senior and junior plays, and the junior prom. DRISCOLL — Biology, Geometry. Ekalaka was the last stop after an eventful two months, for Miss Driscoll, w7ho arrived here after completing a European tour. A native Iowan. Miss Driscoll was graduated from Marycrest College in 1949. Contrary to the rest of her sex who usually complain they have no head for figures, Miss Driscoll dotes on a good algebraic equation and is little harrassed at the thought of filling out income tax returns. Junior sponsor, she teaches largely sophomores and is often heard to remark that she minors in study hall. SCHEID — English I-III. Journalism, Annual Adviser. A New Yorker, “by birth but not by preference, Miss Scheid founded Fun, Inc., sponsored the Freshmen—otherwise known as “Miss Scheid’s Shiners” and served as adviser on “The Broadcaster” and “The Medicine Rock. An amateur photographer, she frequently disappeared in a mad scramble of arms. legs, and referees at Bulldog games only to emerge a few minutes later with hair awry, a burned out flashbulb, and the all-important picture. VETERANS ON THE John Wellir.g, Farm Management; Walt Reisdorfer, Animal Husbandry; C. A. Rutledge, Field Crop Production; Floyd Ellis, Soil Talk Things Over conservation. THE FACULTY THE VETERANS ON-FARM TRAINING PROGRAM was set up by an act of Congress instructing the Veterans Administration to provide World War II veterans living on I arms and ranches with additional education to compensate in part for the schooling they missed while in military service. The Carter High School Board through the State Board of Education contracted with the Veterans Administration to furnish the schooling in compliance with the Federal administration, the instructors and the school work are under the direct supervision W. C. Rowley. _ There is also an advisory committee consisting of seven local citizens of which Dudley 1. Brown is chairman. Gene Hoff, secretary; Lester Williams, William Lambert, Frank Nies and Magnus Markuson are members. Their duty is to ascertain the t applicant and to determine the length of training he needs. All eligible veterans are entitled to one year of training plus the length of in service up to four years. Trainees receive not less than four hours of classroom studies and two supervision on the farm each week. They are furnished with iree textbooks and magazines addition they receive a monthly subsistance allowance to enable them to stay at home on the farm the year ’round to improve their homes and farm enterprises.

The class organized and elected the following officers: Wilbur Anderson, president; Betty Owen, vice-president; Glen Askin. secretary-treasurer. We chose Betty Owen for our Homecoming candidate that year. Then wre were no longer “greenies.” Under the sponsorship of Miss Idella Kennedy we took the proud title of the Sophomore class. One of the most enjoyable events was initiating the Freshmen. We chose the following class officers: Betty 0 en, president; Wilbur Anderson, vice-president; Elsa Loken, secretary- treasurer. Elsa was our Homecoming candidate, also. In the spring of cur sophomore year, we invited the Frosh to paint the “C ’. Ot course, they did all the work, for we were old hanas at it and were now showing others how’ it should be dene. Grrrr! As the ounior year rolled around our enrollment was reduced to 25 stuaents. Mls Carolyn Elkin was our class sponsor. Ciass otiicers chosen were: Jim Riley, president; Wilbur Anderson, vice- president; and Mary Jo Yates, secretary-treasurer. We cho e Dorothy Ward for our Homecoming candidate. Eeing upper- classmen, we had more extra-curricular activities. Among them were the Junior play entitled ‘Have A Heart,” and the prom in honor of the out-geing Seniors. At last, we had attained the title of Seniors. With Mr. Charles E. Ridenour as our sponsor we e.ected the following officers: Presi- dent, John Neece; vice-president, Wayne Brewer; secretary- treasurer, Mary Ellen Carey. For our Homecoming candidate wt selected Mary Jo Yates. In the spring we sponsored a bang-up floor, which included a hill-billy skit entitled “Tobaccy Road. With Detours.” It brought some laughs and then some more laughs. Yes, we were a class of great talent. Of course, you had to look sort of hard, sometimes, to see it. Calamity Jo Ann Will-burr Oozi? Doo It’s Carla—or is it? Let 'er Roll! Gone Are The Days Change Places? -----10------ JUNIOR PROM Shimmering silver stars hanging from blue streamers set off by soft lights created an aura of glamour for the Junior Prom which was held on May 12th in the gym- nasium. The girls were adorned in gay pastel- colored formats of every shade. Attractive corsages of roses, carnations, camellias, and gardenias made the formats even more beautiful. Most of them were gilts trom the girls' escorts. Queen NONA RICHARDS Highlight of the evening was the coro- nation. Junior Melum and Nona Richards were crowned King and Queen ot the Junior Prom by Mr. Rowley. Other members of the royal party were Carla Mae Elmore and Mary Ellen Carey, princesses Teddy Water land and Wilbur Anderson, the princes. The queen and princesses were presented with beautiful corsages of yel- low roses. Delicious punch was served during the evening and the Melody Shop 1 rio trom Miles City provided the dance music. The Junior Class deserves a vote ol thanks lor their splendid work in presenting a suc- cessful prom. PROPHESY TIME MARCHES ON Ah. the spring of I960 is here, and I am all pack- ed to take the first vacation I have in in 10 years. I have been wondering how many of my old class- mates I will run into during my travels. Well, thaL is yet to be seen. Deciding to travel through the west first, I headed for sunny California. As I was driving along a country highway, I spotted a sign which read: Lazy U Ranch—JAMES RILEY, Prop. Curious to see how my old classmate was doing for himself, I drove in. As I had suspected, Jim is the owner of a large dude ranch. He states that BARBARA GUNDLACH comes here every summer for a two week vacation. Poor Barbara deserves that vacation every year. As you know, she is the world’s champion woman weight-lifter. Having never been to Hollywood, I was curious to see what this movie-making city was like. Arriv- ing there, I chartered a guide to take me around. 1 visited on several of the movie sets. Just as I walked into one set I saw7 a man fall suddenly from a cliff. As the battered - looking fellow got to his feet, I discovered that it was none other than WILLARD CRIDLAND. Willard informed me that he had been doubling for Roy Rogers for the last five years. That evening I viewed the beautiful lights of Holly wood. I noticed one neon sign which covered a whole block, and bore the w7ords: Club 19 — Featuring HAROLD MORGAN, the Magician of Magicians.” It appears that Harold is still up to his old tricks. Leaving California, I headed East. I stopped over in Denver, Colo., for a day. Here, whom should I run into but ELSA LOKEN, the world-renowned psychologist. I learned that CARLA MAE ELMORE has such faith in Elsa's psychology for bringing up children that she brings her lour boys all the way from Montana for a checkup every year. From Denver, I wrent down to the Lone Star State to Dallas, Texas. Glancing at a large billboard. I saw a picture of JOHN NEECE. Vote for Honest John for Governor oi Texas.” John says that if he is elected, he will work not only for a better, but for a bigger Texas. The Barnum and Bailey Circus was in town for the week-end, so I decided to take in the main show. The drums rolled and tie spotlights beamed in the sky. Now for the biggest event of the evening, ladees and g-entlemen, I preezent to you AGNES and DEAN in the highest tight-wire act in the world, with no net beneath them for safety should they make the slightest slip.” Never had I dreamed that Agnes and Dean would get so far up in the world as that! From Dallas, I went up to Louisville. Kentucky. While visiting here, I ran into my old school chum, JUNIOR MELUM. Junior is president of a large tobacco firm here in Louisville. He informed me that HERB STOREY is in the auctioneering business in Louisville, also. Traveling farther north from Louisville, I stopped off at the Windy City, Chicago. I knew that WAYNE BREWER was working as a reporter for the Chicago Tribune, so I decided to look him up. I learned at the Tribune office that he was out for the afternoon, interviewing the famous novelist, JO ANN KENNEDY. I recalled reading that Jo Ann had won the Pulitzer Prize award for 1960, for writing the best novel of the year. I hunted up Jo Ann and she sug- gested we take in a baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Yankees. Whom should I find pitching for the New York Yankees but WILBUR ANDERSON. Jo Ann informed me that three of our old classmates are making news in the field of sports. She says that TEDDY WATERLAND is playing quarterback on the Notre Dame football team, and that JIMMY COURTNEY has teen playing center for West Point. After a week in Chicago, I drove over to New York City. I was walking along a street and noticed a huge window display of dresses. This was not unusual, but one window placard read, Exclusive fashions by Nona.” Knowing that NONA RICHARDS had taken up dress designing, I rushed in to see if my hunch was right. Yes, Nona was a dress- cesigner here on Fifth Avenue. While waiting for Nona to get off work, I bought some newspapers. H’mmm, now here was a face that looked familiar. Well, if it wasn’t Mary Ellen Carey and she was running for Senator from the State of New York! After Nona got off work, she wanted me to take in a fashion show with her and I was very glad that I did. For here I found DOROTHY WARD and MARY JO YATES modeling some exclusive evening gowns from Paris. Nona said she had another surprise for me. She took me out to Madison Square Gardens. Here I found CAROL PADDEN coming out on Twisted Lightning, the fiercest of all Brahma Bulls. Carol is the world’s champion Brahma Bull rider. Clunk! Oh, my head. Egads, where am I? What a dream! Here it is only 1950. I haven’t even graduated yet. Boy, I wTon’t either if I don’t get to work! WILBUR ANDERSON Have A Heart 3. Class President. 1. Class Vice-President 2. 3. Football 3. 4.

Berry Charlotte Burch Carol Cleveland Forrest Phelps JUNIOR CLASS CLASS HISTORY by Carolyn Purdum School started on the rainy day of September 7, 1949. The Juniors, after ringing themselves out, registered for tbe subjects they were to take for the following year. We started out with twenty-one students, but three dropped out. leaving only eigh een to finish the school year. Class officers elected were: Whitey Schweigert. President; Frosty Phelps Vice-President and Dorothy Pulse, secretary-treas- urer. Miss Virginia Driscoll was class sponsor. Thelma Senrud was the Queen Candidate and was one of the honored attendants in Queen Murva’s court. In April the Juniors put on the Play, ‘Here Comes Charlie” under the direction of Mr. John Eeamer. The year’s activities culminated with the long- awaited and much-anticipated Junior Prom on May 12. Junior let termen this year included Frosty Phelps, Vernon Walters, Whitey Schweigert, Jimmie Clark, Carolyn Purdum and Billy Arbuckle. Nellie Mae Berry was chosen to go to Girls’ State with Carol Cleveland selected « as alternate. In July both Carol and Donna Stieg will attend a press convention at Missoula, their trips sponsored by the school and The Ekalaka Eagle. Vernon Walter Donna Stieg Florine Richards K.

Highlight of the year was the revenge we took upon the incoming Freshmen lor our treatment at the hands of last year's sophs. The. Freshmen took the rigorous treatment good- naturedly enough, though, and appeared to have more fun than we did. Captain of the ship was our sponsor, Mr. Reamer, with Persident Dell Daguc as first mate. Noralla Edwards was elected vice-pres- ident. Murva Harrington was secretary-treasurer and also the sophomore candidate for queen. Homecoming saw our candidate, Murva, crowned. This was another feather in sophomore caps, after their winning Freshman homecoming campaign. Avis Brady Dennis Bowmer Pearl Dowi.ey Ramona Duncan i J Noralla Edwards :o — David Ness Agnes Richmond Gary Roberts Hughie Rose Rose Anne Rowley Active in sports and extra-curricular activities, the Sophs turned out four lettermen this year: Owen Stieg, who lettered in bas- ketball and football; George Gundlach and Billy Joe Ludwick, foot- ball lettermen and Gary Roberts who earned his letter in baseball. Loren Turbiville Wayne Ludwick, who has since left the class, was elected president of Fun, Inc., while Virginia Courtney and Rose Anne Rowley served on the executive committee. Fad-happy Soph girls gave the new hair stvles a whirl, turning up shingled, clipped, feathered and frizzed. They climbed on the hand wagon with earrings, heels and circular skirts as well, leaving the boys smirking and quipping on their latest flights of fancy. On Mnv 26, We walked down the gangplank of the ship of , . . learning with another year of study behind us. Having Weathered smooth and stormy seas we were ready for shore leave.

After giving us time to get organized the sophomores turned our cozy little world upside down with initiation in September. We were beginning to wonder if even high school was worth the long-legged underwear, the bathing suits and the overshoes, slippers, hats, etc. That night at the dance the sophs gave in our honor we decided it was. Norman Lambert Jack Lovec By now we had organized our class with Miss Scheid as sponsor, Pat Townsend, president; Georgia Riley, vice- president; and Fulton Castleberry, secretary-treasurer. As the football season drew to a close, we found that Danny Parrish had lettered. Fulton Castleberry brought us honor later in the year by winning the all-school ping-pong tourna ment. On October 22, the annual homecoming took place. To represent the Freshman class at homecoming we chose Lorene Anderson as queen candidate. This was the day we won the footfall game with Baker. Perhaps this was what convinced Bakerite Jack Lovec to join us. Then, on the cold, blustery night of January 10, we took our lives in our hands and ventured forth to Chapman’s dam for an ice-skating party. We divided our time about evenly between the ice and the rubber tire fire we built to offset the chill gales. All too soon, however, came the Soph’s chance to crack the whip again. This time we were “old master painters” with buckets and brushes. Whitewashing the “C” was fun though and there was always the consolation that soon we would be putting next year’s Freshmen through their paces. -----21 Ivan Rutledge Virginia Walter Delores Yates -----22----- Homecoming Queen Murva I, sophomore candi- date, was crowned Homecoming Queen of Carter County High School, Saturday, October 2, at 11:30 P. M. ML i ■ Mary Jo Yates A procession of girls entered the gym to form aisles for the queen and her followers. An expectant hush fell over the audience as they awaited the appearance of the queen. Pre- ceding the queen were Princess Lor- ene Anderson. Maid of Honor, Mary Jo Yates and Princess Thelma Sen- rud. At last the long-awaited mo- ment came when the newly elected queen entered, wearing a formal of rose-peach and robe of blue velve- teen trimmed in white coney fur. Ascending the steps, she knelt to be crooned Queen Murva I, by James Riley, 1949 football captain. Corsages of red roses, a gift from the high school, were worn by the queen and her followers. Following the coronation the 40- girl court wearing white dresses and carrying flashlights trimmed with blue, participated in a grand march culminating the evening’s activities. Wilbur Anderson Queen Murva Harrington and Princesses Lorene Anderson, Thelma Senrud, Mary Jo Yates. Think before you answer this one. The Broadcaster stall told 130 Carterites. The question: Who are your candidates for the most popular hoy and girl in Carter High. I he ans- wer: Mary Jo Yates and Wilbur Anderson. Chosen by an overwhelming majority of their classmates, Wilbur and Mary Jo were said to have the pleasing personalities, polite- ness and graciousness which go farthest in “winning friends and influencing people 1 Runners up in the contest were Billy Arbuckle and Kay Arbuckle. 23 G.

FOOT f COACH SHORT rOOTBALL SUMMARY Anderson .akes Contact Bilev Receives With Coach Ed Short back tor the fourth year, the Carter Bulldogs played eleven-man football for the lin t lime since the mid 1930's. Lack of experience in the new gmie took its toll, however, and the Bulldogs had their backs to the wall most of the season. Wibaux came to Ekalaka and took a -6 heart-breaker trom the Carter squad in the first conference game of the season. Ekalaka journeyed to Forsyth and took a n3-(j beating there to be followed by a drubbing from Terry to the tune of 40-0. Hettinger, North Dakota, left Carter behind 32-18. despite the Bulldog's gallant second half rally. Homecoming came as the answer to Carter fans prayers with the Bulldogs putting Baker over the barrel 7-0 on a muddy field.

SEASON SUMMARY The fighting Carter Bulldogs left a record of lb win; and 7 losses behind them for the season of ’49-50. The Bulldogs started the season off well by losing only two of the first thirteen games. The loss of Anderson seemed to mar the rest ot the B A S K E T Captain Anderson, Center season. Fighting however valiantly tor every hoop, the squad dropped out of the tournament at Scobey by one point when they lost to Circle 36-35. Five Juniors return to the basketball squad next year. Four seniors leave and one sophomore remains. The graduating seniors wish next years team lots of luck. Waterland, Anderson, Schweigert, contact on re- bound in Wibaux battle.

MUSK MUSIC MUSIC The oom pa pa’s and do re mi’s of the Carter High band and chorus were more eloquent in 1950 as both groups hit their stride in their second year under the direction of Miss Joanne Curran. Climax of the musical season was the annual festival at Glendive. Judges noted that the band had im- proved considerably during the last year but the chorus ran oil with laurels. In the glowing report received soon after their return, the girls were praised for expression, diction, stage presence, delivery and particularly for their presen- tation of the difficult Latin “Panis Angelicus.” BAND Third Row. left to right: P.

Resulting fist fight laid Lloyd low. TOBACCY ROAD WITH DETOURS The Martins and Coys had nothing on the feudin’, fussin’, fightin’ hillbilly family- in “Tobaccy Road With Detours.” Instead of the annual Senior play, the 1950 class decided on a dance and floor show instead. Highlight of the show was the above take- off on the famous stage play. Bearing little resemblance to the original “Tobaccy Road,” as the seniors staged it, was a hilarious episode in the lives of “Pa” Wayne, Brewer “Ma”, Elsa Loken, “Sonny”, Harold Morgan, “Americy,” Carla Mae Elmore, “Tennessee,” Jo Ann Kennedy, and “Willy Jo,” Jim Riley. Action centered around efforts of Americy and Willy Jo to marry despite parental disapproval. Attempts to pass him off as one of the family (pa didn’t rightly know his children from the gophers) failed when Willy was unable to spit through his teeth. (The conspicuous absence of one front tooth was a family trademark.) Americy soon remedied the situation with a left uppercut to Willy’s jaw and they live happily in them thar hills to this day.

Mr. John Beamer - whose able direction made ‘Char- lie” a hit. HERE COMES CHARLIE Discerning casting, fine performances and carefully selected props made “Here Comes Charlie,” the comedy hit of the season. Larry Elliot, living with his maiden aunt in their palatial home receives a note advisir g him of the forthcoming arrival of one Charlie Hopps from the Ozarks. Charlie, he is told, is the child of a man, recently deceased, who saved his life during the previous summer. Thrilled at the thought of being able to repay the dett he owes Charlie s father and infatuated with the idea of becoming the child’s guardian, he happily confides the news to friend Ted Hartley. Ted. much less impressed, ribs Larry heartily over his new role of “papa. Charlie’s arrival, however, causes near calamity when it is revealed that Charlie is not a boy but a girl, replete with straw hat, sandals, and broad hillbilly twang. With her come her pet goldfish, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo, and Uncle Alec Twiggs—straight from the hills. Mrs. Parnham, Larry's aunt, and Vivian Smythe-Kersey. his fiancee, promptly fall into hysterics and events proceed from bad to very much worse as Charlie and Uncle Alec throw the household into turmoil and Uncle Larry nearly out of his wits. Finally, Charlie, falsely convinced by Mrs. Farnham that Larry has lost all his money and cannot afford to keep her, leaves. Uncle Alec, who had invested his savings, soon has quite a tidy sum of money with which he sends Charlie to school. Time passes and the next time Larry sees Charlie, she has grown into an attractive and cultured young woman with whom he discovers himself in love. In the meantime she has acquired two other suitors, one his good friend Ted Hartley, and the other Vivian’s brother, Mortimer Smythe-Kersey. True love wins, of course. Charlie and Larry confess their love for one another, the selfish Mrs. Farnham has a change of heart toward Charlie, the rejected suitors offer their congratulations and the snobbish Smythe-Kerseys must once more try to trap a wealthy and gullible young man for the self-centered Vivian. CHARLIE AND UNCLE LARRY “Uncle Larry” (Billy Arbuckle), Charlie (Dorothy Pulse) screams, flinging her arms around his neck, as Uncle Aleck (Jim Clark) w;atches with interest.

FRIDAY—After a week of classes, Friday spelled “Take It Easy.’’ Girls wore their blue jeans to class and on evening dates. With the theater schedule changed, entertainment was narrowed to a couple of rounds of pool, cokes at Roberts or the Locker Plant, or house parties. But the dirth of diversion was more than compensated for by “no school tomorrow.” EASY DOES IT HERE’S HOW ON THE BALL COKING UP BUTTERFLY SWING YOUR PARTNER 46 CHEEK TO CHEEK DOUBLE OR NOTHING IN E KA LA SATURDAY: For those who stayed in town, Saturday was movie night, dance night, party night. Bobby sox and saddle oxfords were stow’ed in the closet to be replaced by nylons and heels. There was a new picture on down at the theater and fellows and gals counted out their dimes and quarters, reservir.g enough for the inevitable popcorn and ardy bars without which no show would be complete. KA WHICH ONE? POP GOES THE POPCORN EVERYBODY HAPPY TWO. PLEASE SUNDAY: Sunny afternoons were spent hiking. In the eve- nings, students dropped in at the cabins, nicknamed Faculty Row, for a friendly chat, game and cup of coffee.

Don't Be Deceived: This is the way we never looked. “Beating Up Barbara” or “Mayhem in the M’ room.” If thirteen is an unlucky number it hasn't fazed this year's journalism staff. On the theory that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they combined copy writing and cutting up for nine months of writing, typing, stamp- licking and leapfrog. Members of the MIKA and Quill and Scroll, the staff tried to put spirit in the Broadcaster and get the Broadcaster in the spirit. Mary Jo, Carla and Barbara provided the comic relief; Wilbur, Mary Ellen. Elsa and Jim kept the copy coming. Junior kept the wheels (mimeograph) turning, Jimmy and Wayne were all-important admen. Herb rattled the writer-type and Teddy kept us out of the red. The second Friday of every month was perpetual cause for jubilation, for it meant once more the staff could write “thirty” to another eight pages of news and views on life at Carter High.
