We chose it because to us it summed up our ambitions and hopes for the future. It expressed what is in our minds and our hearts as we look forward to the time when we will graduate, wThen some of us will begin our career in life, and others will go on to school to climb to the heights by a different course. So far in our lives we have been climbing. Through the grades we have been climbing; step by step we climbed and as each year passed,.we put another difficulty behind us as overcome. We looked forward to the coming year. Through high school we climbed until now we face the thought of leaving behind us those loved tasks that we fought with and conquered, and as we looked forward in the grades to high school, we now look forward to life and to climbing higher upon the mountain of life. It is our one ambition to reach the heights of this mountain. Knowledge and success are ours to conquer. Some day we will prove to you that we have overcome the obstacles of life and that we have reached the heights, but as yet we are just climbing. That is why we chose these wonderful words, “Not on the heights, but climbing,” for our motto. Advice to Seniors Mary Dignan—Join an opera. Alverna Hale—Publish your reducing formula. James Haley—Be an orator. Mary Wilson—Be a ranch hand boss. John Flanagan—Be an evangelist. Ruby Cosman—Stop growing. Isabelle Bruneau—Be an ideal house wife. Vernon Dennis—Take a vacation. Mabel Smith—Be a “Clay” moulder. Earl Munroe—Sponsor a stock judging class. Ariss Shanklin—Be a sales woman. (She has the gift of gab.) iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu 12 ii.............................................................................................................. Class History In the fall of 1923 fourteen ignorant but happy freshmen entered the Cascade High School. Everything was strange, and every sophomore was ready and willing to direct us to the wrong class-room. The first week was one of confusion and disorder. At the end of this terrible week we were put through the initiation by the eager sophs. Somehow the initia- tion changed our class, and we settled down to work, avoiding the sophs as much as possible. Fourteen happy freshies left school December 20, eagerly awaiting Santa's visit. Vacation time flew by and we returned with our same number. It was not very long, however, for on March 18 we lost one of our beloved classmates, John Thomas. He was one of the many who are being chosen to enter the great school in the life beyond. Nothing unusual befell our class the remaining part of our Freshman year. We returned next fall with only ten of our old classmates, but we gathered in Marshall Perrine, John Flanagan, Ed Seaton, Floyd Smith, Sam Kelly and Mildred Peck, who joined us in putting the freshmen through the grinding wheels of initiation. During our sophomore year the girls were given the privilege of being waitresses at the junior-senior banquet. At the close of our sophomore year we were sorry to learn that we wrere losing our professor, Mr. Scherf, who had been at the Cascade High School for five years, and who is now professor at the Lewistown High School. Our junior year was one of success, bringing with it our new profes- sor, Mr. Bergan, and two more classmates. Two more classmates left us that year, Ed Seaton and Marshall Perrine, and Edward, by some superior intellect, regained his old class again, and Marshall was married. During our junior year the High School held an inter-class basketball tourna- ment, and our junior boys were awarded the trophy cup. On May fourth we gave a Prom in honor of the Seniors. A week later we bade farewell to that class with a banquet given at the High School Auditorium. In the fall of 1926 our High School dream came true. We reached the goal of our ambition—Seniors! Isabelle Bruneau was elected president; Mary Wilson, vice-president; Mabel Smith, secretary-treasurer; Vernon Dennis, president of the Associated Student Body. Ada Brandon had left for Chinook, leaving only twelve of us from the number who had so blithely set out three years before. Then we lost another classmate by matrimony—Mildred Peck. Eleven left! And now the end of our jour- ney is in sight. We can look ahead and see Class Night, the Prom and the Commencement, the goals of our endeavors. We can look back over the four years of work, of pleasure, of good fellowship and fair play, and of everything that makes life wTorth living. We have in one sense started the climb, but in a wider sense we have but reached the foot of the heights. In after life we shall pause and look back on our climb toward success. May our motto be ever in the hearts of this class: “Not on the heights, but climbing.” iiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMHiiiiitiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii iiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiniiiiiiiMiiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiimiiiiniiiiiii; C 0 M E T 13 COMET iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiimiMiiiHiiiimimitiiiimiiimiiimiiiimiiiiiMiiiiiiimiiiMiiMiiimiiiiiiiMiuiiii Class Will The class of 1927 does hereby bequeath, on this twentieth day of May, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven A. D., our popularity and superior in- tellects, to the Cascade High School as a whole. To the Student Body we leave the school and the teachers, also our constant companions, namely, the books. We hope they will enjoy them as much as we did. To the Juniors we leave our corner in the Assembly and the power to preserve peace and quiet in the class room. To the Sophomores we leave our prominence in the school and our love for the Freshmen. To the Freshies we leave our talent of creating excitement and mischief in all forms. To the individual members of the school we leave the following: Alverna Hale generously yields her ability to sing to Maxine Paulson. Ruby Cosman leaves her good nature to Erma Woolsey. John Flanagan heroically transmits his efficiency as yell leader to Kenneth Mortag. Mabel Smith leaves to Eleanor Foxall her soft brown eyes and the ability to flirt with them. Isabel Bruneau leaves her reputation as a coquette to Donald Creveling. Earl Munroe leaves to Harlan Mattson his popularity as a dancehall sheik. Ariss Shanklin bequeaths her shy ways and demure loveliness to Doro- thy Berger. Mary Dignan leaves Mayme Tibke a package of gum and her aston- ishing reputation of always talking. Jim Haley leaves Arthur Flanagan his short stature and his dignity. Mary Wilson leaves to any little girl, her ability to agree with the boys (especially class meetings).

We hope that the following staffs will take the same in- terest in the book that we have taken and improve it from year to year as has been our aim.

Place—A darkened room; a crystal gazer sits staring at a small crystal before her. I had wondered what my old classmates of the class of ’27 were doing, and after hearing of Madame Malaprop’s great prowess for seeing things in her crystal, I had gone to see her. Her monotonous voice told me the following story: “The scene is laid in a small town. It looks western. There is a small brown church that stands out clearly. On the cement column by the steps is ‘Cascade M. E. Church I see a curly headed young man, wearing glasses, standing on the steps. There is a small square. parsonage in the background. (Pause.) The interior looks decidely like bachelor quarters. All is dark again.” Somehow I knew that that young man was John Flanagan, evidently not married. Could John be the preacher in Cascade, that little old town we graduated in? My mind flew back to the Cascade High School’s first annual. It had said, “Imagine John Flanagan a preacher.” Who ever thought he would be, then? In spite of myself, I smiled. She began again: “The scene is a large city apartment house. A wine-colored Rolls- Royce limosine is drawing up before it. A brown-eyed lady steps out, and with a neat walk goes up to the door which is opened for her from the inside. Just as she is about to enter, a small freckled faced newsboy runs up to her and says, Taper, lady?’ ‘Please.’ She gives him his money and opens the paper. A large picture of herself and a man con- fronts her. The headline is in large black letters. ‘MABEL SMITH COOLIDGE’S DIVORCE CASE AGAINST HER MILLIONAIRE HUS- BAND IS FILED TODAY.’ A smile plays about her mouth before she disappears in the door. All is dark.” Poor Mabel. “A large room is appearing. It is like the interior of an opera house with high ceiling, beautifully frescoed, and a large lamp, wonderful to look at, hanging therefrom. It is an opera house and it is filled with people. There is a dead silence as the singer enters with a slow step from the right. As her beautiful voice floods the room, everyone holds his breath for there is something there that thrills them. When she iHiiiiiiiniiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMimiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiimiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii 16 iiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiMiiiHiiiiifiiiiiiMiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiib finishes, there is silence for a moment, then thunderous applause. The scene is fading. All is dark ' It must have been Alverna. I had read of her fame in the papers, and I should have known. Then my mind returned to our High School Annual and the year we graduated. We had written under her name: “For in her sweeting dividing throat She winters and keeps warm her note.” Yes, it did apply to her. “The scene is foreign, for there are people wandering around in rather foreign looking clothes. It becomes clearer, and I see signs and pennants. There are many different nationalities and many different flags for their nations. In the center athletic prowess is being displayed. As a tall, splendidly formed, young man with shining black hair takes his turn, everyone in the sections flying U. S. pennants rise to their feet. (Pause.) Different events take place and always he comes out first.” Silence. I couldn't break it, for I was sure it was Earl. I certainly wished in my heart that I was there to cheer for him in the Olympic Games as I had cheered for him during basketball games when we were in high school. “When all is over many friends rush out to congratulate him. No one is very clear except a young woman with brown eyes, wearing glasses, and stylishly dressed. She is very vivacious and has with her a very handsome, blond man slightly older than herself. There is an air about them proclaiming them as newrlywpeds. They seem to be wrapped up in each other, but nevertheless she is pulling him along until she reaches the champion's side. She seems to know him well and congratulates him as an old friend would, and he returns the congratulations when she pre- sents her companion. They express their wish to see each other again to review old times, and then part. All is dark.” Of course, anyone would know that was Isabelle. She had taken her time getting married, but then she had always said she wouldn’t get mar- ried until she met her ideal. “A large school house is materializing. On the door plate is ‘Girls’ Seminary of Denver, Colorado.’ It changes and a part of the interior is disclosed. A short flight of steps leads to an office with ‘Mary Dignan, Principal’, on the door. A girl pauses at the bottom, then resolutely goes up. She enters and states her trouble, and awaits her sentence breath- lessly. But a smile appears on the principal’s face. Later the girl comes out with a happy smile on her face. All is dark.” ................................................................... 17 COMET COMET miiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiimiiiiiimii Of course, Mary's good humor had gotten the best of her. She prob- ably remembered her own escapades in school. At least I did. “The scene changes. A boy appears with a letter directed to ‘Mr. James Haley, Dean of Men, University of New7 York,’ written on it. On the door of an office is written, ‘Don’t knock, I haven’t time to answer. Just walk in.’ So the boy walks in. He seems very nervous, but after a few min- utes’ talk with the Dean, he is quite at his ease. There is something in the eyes behind the glasses that lets him know he has a friend. All is dark.” Good old Jim. “The scene is the ocean. A large ship is steaming its way toward the Orient. On board are a group of missionaries. One very small young woman stands out very clearly. There is something about her sweet face that causes everyone to listen w'hen she speaks. The scene fades.’5 Anyone would know that was Ruby, because it was just like her, but I never thought she’d be a missionary. There were just two of my classmates left. I’m very eager to know what they are doing. “The scene changes. Before me now is a four room cottage wdiich is situated out of the city. Here is the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dennis. Mrs. Dennis, who graduated from the Cascade High School with her hus- band ten years previous, was known to everyone then as Ariss Shanklin. Vernon has just returned from the field where he has been laboring in the hot sun. As he comes up the path to the house, the sun is sinking in the golden west. His wife and son and baby daughter are awaiting sup- per for him. A very happy scene; then all is dark.” Who would have ever thought it? After seeing all of my classmates I walked out into the street, and up to my room. Just what had I accomplished in ten years? Certainly nothing like the rest. I had gone to work after leaving high school. Two years later I became secretary for Henry Ford, and had held that position for eight years. The day before I had signed a contract to continue being his private secretary for ten years more, and then I am to have a fifth of an interest in his factory, if I am worth it. I must say it is different. —Mary Wilson. ........................................I..... 18 iiiiiimimiHiiMiiiHiimmiiiHiimiiiiiiHmHimiHiitMmiiiiMiiiiHinimiiHMiiHiiiiMmMiiiHiiiiiifiiiHiiiiiiiiiimitiiiitiHHitmHHiiHiiuitmiiHiHiiiiiiiiMiitiiiiimimniiiiiimimiMiiiiitiiiHitii Class Poem When you leave the halls of C. H. S., When your High School days are o’er, Will you long to be within them, As you were in years before? Will your heart conceal a longing For your friends and classmates true? Don’t you think, in thoughts, you’ll wander Back to dear old Cascade and you ? When you’re out upon life’s journey, Though you be in distant clime, On the path of life you’ve chosen, Won’t your thoughts stray back thru time? All your friends are sure to miss you, Surely they will think of you, Knowing that upon Life’s Highway Truth abides in all you do. As you follow down the trail And you reach its farthest end, Won’t there be a gleam of heartache, Love and longing for a friend? We, who watched you, saw with joy Honors seized, but fairly won, Carrying on, whole heartedly The work so well begun. Find a feeling of loss and a feeling of gain, What we lose means a gain to the rest. So here’s to our Classmates! You’ll always remain In our hearts. Here’s Success! Here’s the best! —John Flanagan. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiMiiiiMiiiiiiiiMiiHiimiiiMiiiMiimimniiiiiimimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit; 19 COMET COMET iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiii iliiimiiifiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiii Commencement Program Junior-Senior Prom......................................April 29, 1927 Junior-Senior Banquet.....................................May 4, 1927 Class Play, “Safety First”............................

The story is that of an innocent young husband, who is thrown into jail as a result of trying to save his cousin from the hands of a Turk. Dreading his mother-in-law’s wrath, he plans to keep this disgrace from his wife by telling her he has gone to a Shriners’ Convention in Florida during his term in jail. Complica- tions ensue, but at last the tangles are straightened out, and all ends hap- pily. ..................................

The thoughts of becoming one of those distinguished dumb- bells who take the name of freshie, thrilled me through and through, al- though what great honor, merit, rank, one has acquired in doing so is hard to understand. Of course we all looked forward with anxiety, mixed with pleasure and a little fear, to our initiation. Some of the girls decided to wear overalls, wishing to be well prepared, but in the end we appeared in more feminine attire. • Arriving at the school house steps, one was gallantly assisted up the twelve steps by one of the upper classmen, who landed him with a leap, in the history room. “So sudden!” we all declared, and laughed it off. Many were the girlish screams, fits of choking, accompanied by other indications of a good time, which we all enjoyed. After this, our faces being relieved of the black grease, and our shoes returned to the ones they fitted the best, dancing and refreshments concluded a very enjoyable evening. Of course we were looked down upon at first, at least we thought so. It is true we did feel a trifle stupid. “Give them time,” was the comment of our dear seniors when we had committed a crime especially below the dignity of a frosh. Certain things which we had done formerly were now too childish for the freshmen and consequently abandoned. All the girls laid their dolls among the moth balls, and the boys buried their copies of Rob Roy to pursue Dickens and Shakespeare. “Aw, there ain’t no Santa Claus,” was the startling news we received about Xmas time. “Well, we always knew that,” was our laconic reply. Thus we set out on the road to higher learning, laden with much un- necessary advice concerning the duties and privileges of being a frosh. —Vesta Graybeal. .................................................................... min............................ mu................ 26 COMET iiiiitHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiMiiiniiniiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiM Calendar September 6— Squatter’s rights taken in the assembly.

Student Body Page What a simple thing our High School life seems! But what makes it so simple and full of happiness? Are there not problems and trials for this organization as well as for business corporations on larger scales? It was w'ith these motives in mind that our present Student Body Associa- tion was established a good many years ago and with the succeeding years has developed into a highly commendable organization. The Cascade High School students learned to respect this association when they entered into the High School as meek and humble Freshmen, and their love and ad- miration has grown writh the passing years. It has served to keep peace, order and above all the fraternal feelings of friendship for one another at all times. The blue and the gold have been the colors of this small union for years. The student athletes above all know the significance of these letters, for they have attained an artistic combination of the Cascade High School in those colors for every activity accomplished during their four years of High School life. The activities which give letters are basketball, debating, declamation and track. This league of friendship strives to furnish sufficient entertainment for its members so that they may be doubly attracted to their High School days. Each Friday, therefore, we gather together in the assembly room and take our turns in furnishing amusement and other sources of enter- tainment for our fellow students. Several educational speakers have visited us in the past year and talked to us on different interesting and advancing subjects. Among those who have pleased us this year are Mr. Bailey of Canada, Reverend Davis, Mr. Hagan of the Curtis Publish- ing Company, and Professor Bergan. As a special feature this year, the Student Body surprised the sur- rounding community by their ability to stage a real circus. It was a great success, both financially and as a feature. The past year we elected as our Student Body officers, Vernon Dennis, president; Earl Munroe, vice-president; Mary Wilson, secretary; Josephine Dyar, treasurer, and John Flanagan, yell leader. We’ve never heard of an absent-minded professor who forgot to flunk anyone. Frosh: Why did he soak you? Senior: I said his brother looked like an ape. Frosh: That’s no reason. Senior: Well, they’re tw’ins.

From twelve girls that were out to practice, Coach Spogen picked the six “terrors” that have been bringing home this season’s bacon. When the season opened only two of last year’s players were to be found. But around these two players Coach Spogen built a team whose strength was feared by all opponents. They were victorious in their first game and maintained this record until the second Fort Shaw game. Captain Erma Woolsey, forward—Erma, although small, was one of Ihe fastest floor workers in the history of our girls. She is clever and has a good eye for the basket. The old fighting spirit is in her and she passing and her passes seldom fail to connect with the desired place. Maxine Paulson, forward—“Heavy” is the cream of the team when it comes to finding the hoop. She was high point man for this season and was a hard one to get by. This is her first year in High and so for the three coming years the outside teams will have something to worry them, Josephine Dyar, center—“Joe” is tall and therefore has little to bother her in getting the tip-off. She plays a defensive game that is hard to go through. She is an ace at intercepting arched passes. Mabel Loss, side center—Mabel is small but her speed and super head work enables her to play an excellent game, either offensive or defensive. She has two years left to play with the teams of the future. Dorothy Berger, guard—Dorothy is another freshman “flash.” She is a brilliant guard, gifted with speed that enables har to get the ball while her opponent is thinking what to do next. She has a good arm for passing and her passes fail to connect with the desired place. Alverna Hale, guard—“Allie” with the little amount of practice until this year, proved herself a capable guard, able to hold down a place with the regulars. She is fast and has good control of the ball. Much to our disappointment, this is her last year with the team. Beauty Hints It is every woman’s desire to become beautiful. Popularity and beauty run hand in hand, so a “hint to the wise” is sufficient. 1—Exercise at least four hours daily. (Wax floors, wash windows, run three miles, etc.) 2— Never retire before 3 a. m. 3— Eat abundance of sweets—it’s good for the complexion. 4— Take a good stimulant before breakfast. 5— Never smoke less than five packages of cigarettes daily. 6— Apply mascaro to the eyes before weeping. 7— Use rouge freely, a slight pat on the tip of the nose gives a tone of natural color there. ........................................................................................... 33 COMET COMET niirimiiiimiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiitiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiii McCollim Coach Perrine Berger Mattson Flanagan Capt.

The class of ’26 was very lenient, leaving four regular players for Coach Perrine to work with. The Freshman class furnished the fifth player for our team, and the Blue and Gold hoopsters proved a credit to our high school. Although they met several defeats, they never lacked the old fighting spirit. Manager and Captain, Earl Munroe, ’27 Earl, our center, proved himself a worthy leader of his team. He worked well with the team and somehow he got down the floor and dropped his share of the score in the basket. Forward, Garnett McCollim, ’29 Garnie, diminutive and freckled faced, proved himself worthy of his position. He has two more years to “strut his stuff.” Forward, Stanley Sanderson, ’29 Shorty’s good eye for the basket, and his cooperation with his team- mates won him his place as a regular for the last twTo years. He, with McCollim, will fight for the team two more years. Guard, Vernon Dennis, ’27 Vernie has played both guard and forward for the past two years, as he could play both positions advantageously to his team, and next year he will be missed greatly. Guard, Arthur Flanagan, ’30 Art, our stalwart freshman, stepped up at the first of the season, showing the coach that he was the man for standing guard. He did a lot of standing, but nevertheless he kept his opponent at a standstill also. He has a mighty promising three years ahead of him. Frederick Berger (Sub.), ’29 Fred showed his ability as a basketball player whenever he had a chance, and no doubt he will be among the regulars next year. Harlan Mattson (Sub), ’29 Bunny’s name belied his basketball playing, for though he didn’t get many chances to play, he proved his ability. He, with Berger, has a very promising future in basketball. iiiiiiimiiiiniMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiimiiiimiiiM 35 COMET COMET iiiimiiiiiMiiimiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiii illinium....mi....ii................................. Track—1926 Although there has been a lack of interest in Track, in the High School, there has been some good record holders. Last year we sent a track team of five to Great Falls to participate in the different events. They were Earl Munroe, Lester Munroe, Merrill Squires, Vivian Squires and Bill Shanklin. Three out of the team took places in the events. Earl Munroe broke the pole vault record and Lester Munroe took fourth place in the event. Earl Munroe now holds the record at nine feet’ ten inches. Earl also took second place in the broad jump and fifth in the discus. Merril Squires took second place in the mile run, while the other two boys did not place. In May, Coach Leon Perrine and Earl Munroe went to Missoula to the State Track Meet but Earl did not succeed in placing in any of the events. Stock Judging Team Many, many years ago three little sophomores took a year of agricul- ture, and after many years had passed and these three sophs became seniors, they were sent to Bozeman to judge stock and upon reaching Bozeman, were crammed and jammed into a barn with a lot of wild cows and wild pigs. From these, they had to select the best. At last it was over. On Wednesday morning, February second, these three little seniors sat crowded together in the great gym, where they heard their names called, and were told to go over and give their reasons for placing the stock in the order they had. Fearing greatly that they had hideously sinned in so doing, and were to get a licking, they wanted to run, but old M. J. had them, and congratulated them on their ability to judge stock. No longer did the great gym seem so great to Earl, John and Vernon, but seemed rather small. And when it was announced that out of 296 teams they had placed fourth, it was tiny. 36 IIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIItll Debating Debating has again been one of the outside activities of our school. The contestants have worked faithfully, and we had a strong team. Early in December the try-out debate was held before the assembly to choose the team. The question was, “Resolved: That the proposed twentieth amendment to the Constitution enabling Congress to limit, reg- ulate and prohibit the labor of persons under eighteen should be ratified.” Alverna Hale, Bob O’Connor and Kenneth Mortag were chosen. This is the second year for Alverna and Kenneth. A practice debate was held at the high school auditorium with Belt on January 29, and a return debate at Belt, February 3.

So without any preliminary debate, we met Augusta, the winner of the Fort Shaw-Augusta on February 11, and lost by a two to one decision. Although comparatively new as an activity, debate has had the interest and support of the Student Body. Cascade can be proud of the class of work done by her debaters. We expect a strong team for next year. —s- Journalism The class in journalism took as their aim this year the promoting of school activities, the securing of school pep, and keeping the town inter- ested in the welfare of the high school. This was to be done through the two columns published by the class in the Cascade Courier, through the kindness of the Courier editor, Mr. Berger. The work is done in school as a part of their studies. The Juniors have worked faithfully to maintain a high standard of news for the paper. Each six weeks period, an editor, assistant-editor, athletic reporter, social reporter, and several departmental reporters are chosen. They secured the facts outside of class, in true reporter style, but the actual articles were prepared in class. During the last semester, the class prepared and sent to the Great Falls Tribune, short news articles concerning Cascade happenings. These were accepted and published by the Tribune. Because a progressive school is marked by its publications and its extra-curricular activities, the Hi has given loyal support to the HILL- TOP NEWS. Miss Stone: Your work is quite original? Jim: Oh, yes. Even the spelling is my own. Dorothy: You embarrassed me at the Prom. Your handkerchief hung out under your coat all evening. Ed: That didn’t need to embarrass you. It wasn’t my handkerchief. It was my shirt.

This, without doubt, is due to the efforts of the sponsor, Miss Gorton, in cooperation with the girls who showed a great deal of interest. One of the prettiest and cleverest plays of the Cascade school life was produced by the club, the past winter. “The Toreadors” was staged at the Pastime Theater, January 21 and 22. The setting was centered about a little Spanish farm owned by Senor Dictorio (Alverna Hale). His desire to have his twin daughters, Benite (Dorothy Berger) and Juanita (Willa Boeke), wedded to the two famous Toreadors of Spain, Senors Swateo and Whackeo, was overcome by a sly plan of the girls' real lovers, Juan, (Jeane Conrad) and Pablo (Frances James), by dressing two beggars (Mary Wilson and Clara Bready) as the toreadors, and presenting them to Senor Dictorio as Senors Swateo and Whackeo. The plan was uncovered by the daughters with the aid of their friends Dolores (Margaret Seaton) and Maria (Mabel Loss). The play was a great success and Miss Gorton's many efforts and successful sponsoring were fully realized and appreci- ated by the club. The chorus is able to send four girls to compete in the music meet at Livingston this year. Alverna Hale will enter for the solo, “The South Winds are Blowing.” Jeane Conrad and Margaret Seaton will enter with a duet, “Onward Bonnie Boat be Flying,” and the three will also compete with the trio, “Dreaming.” Vesta Graybeal, who will accompany them on the piano, will also enter for the piano solo. —m— Declamatory The entry for declamation this year was greater than that of the previous years. There were sixteen students enrolled for the first pre- liminary contest, which was held March 23rd. Six of these entries, Mar- garet Seaton, Inez Cline, Kenneth Mortag, Dorothy Berger, Willa Boeke, and Mabel Loss, were chosen from the first contest, and continued work until a second preliminary contest was held to choose the one from the six to partake in the state contest at Missoula on May 12th. iiiiMiiiimiiiminiiiiiiimiiiimimiiniiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiii miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiuiimimiiiimimiiiiiiiiihiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiimmim COMET 39 COMET iiitiitiiiHHHiiiiiiiiiHiiiinHiiiiiiiMiMiiiMiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiMimiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin Society FRESHMAN INITIATION The beginning of the social affairs was the Sophomore party given in honor (?) of the Freshmen. The High School enjoyed a good laugh when Arthur Flanagan strangled on a highly seasoned oyster. Evelyn Hale also caused a great deal of excitement when she was rolled across the assembly in a barrel. The Sophomores were especially delighted by her screams and dizzy moans. After the victims had all been tormented to the satisfaction of the Sophs, a dance was given in the assembly. A large crowd attended and everyone had a good time, especially when a dainty lunch was served by the Sophomore class. CHORUS TAFFY An enjoyable social event of the year was enjoyed by the members of the High School Glee Club when their sponsor, Miss Gorton, assisted by Mrs. Bergan, honored them with a taffy pull at the High School. The guests certainly showed their enjoyment as they pulled the de- licious candy until blisters appeared on their hands. After the taffy was successfully pulled and devoured by twenty-four hungry singers, the party enjoyed some lively dancing until the evening was well spent. All report- ed a most enjoyable time as they departed. COUNTRY GENTLEMEN’S PARTY After a visit by one of our old friends, Mr. Hagan of the Curtis Pub- lishing Company, again this year we partook in another Country Gentle- man contest. The High School was divided into three divisions. The blues under John Flanagan, the reds under Isabelle Bruneau, and the green under Theron Fowell. Earl Munroe was the business manager. The greens won this year and so the blues and reds honored them with a party. The assembly hall was filled to its capacity with the merry high school students. Dancing was the main feature of the evening, and every- one seemed to enjoy the peppy music. At the close of the evening, lunch w’as served in the dining-room by Mary Wilson, Isabelle Bruneau, John Flanagan and Earl Munroe. A very enjoyable time was reported by everyone. ANNUAL ATHLETIC BALL The big social event of March was the Annual Athletic Ball, when the senior boys, as winners of the inter-class basketball tournament, were presented the silver cup by Coach Leon Perrine. Dancing was enjoyed throughout the evening by about sixty young people, and then a delicious luncheon was served by several members of the freshman and junior classes. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiifiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiniimiiiiitiii 40 III It II 111 11IIIIII111111 JUNIOR PROM The Junior Prom held a thrill for every High School student. For weeks ahead the girls talked of what they were going to wear and how their dresses were going to be made. Each tried her best to outdo the others. It would have been hard to decide who was the “Belle of the Ball.” The hall was decorated in the senior class colors, cerise and French blue. These bright colors made the hall very brilliant. But even so, the girls' new spring dresses were the attraction of the evening (or maybe it was the girls). The juniors were very good entertainers and the Prom was an all around success. JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET The prettiest social event of our high school year was the banquet given by the juniors in honor of the seniors. The dining hall was prettily decorated in the combining hue of cerise and French blue. A delicious dinner was served by the sophomore girls to the junior and senior classes faculty and members of the school board. THE C. H. S. CIRCUS November 19th dawned bright and promising with snow flakes flying from the air. The last day of preparation—and now for the big circus that was coming off that evening. The wild animals were everywhere filled with eagerness. They had long before felt that they should be in their winter quarters. Spark Plug challenged the two-tailed elephant and the hunchback camel for a race after the parade. The camel won a memorable victory over the other two. In the evening a circus proper was presented. The features of the ring performances were a dance by Mademoiselles Isabelle Bruneau and Mary Wilson, two of the present seniors. His lordship, Sir Kenneth Mortag, next appeared on the stage singing “Barcelona,” and followed the song with a jig, to music furnished by Earl Munroe. This humorous number made such a strong appeal to the audience that he was recalled several times. John Flannagan and Earl Munroe presented a negro dialogue which was extremely humorous. The tight rope walker and the clowns next appeared on the stage and presented a very daring act. At the close of the performance, the crowd began to enter the side shows. Among these were the museum, Hula-Hula dancers, a beauty parlor, fortune teller's booth, a hot dog stand, a check room for you to preserve your hat or coat if you wanted to later, and a duck pond for you to win lots of money. There were also several other booths which were very interest- ing to the public. iiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiHiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiinitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiii 41 COMET COMET iiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimimiiiiiiiiiimiiiimiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiHiiimiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiii In Memoriam JOHN THOMAS He has finished the lessons assigned him, He has parted from those he loved, He has earned his reward and has been restored To that peaceful Home above. But the chords that he struck still echo Through the halls so cool and calm, Where the busy strife of worldly life Is soothed by twilight’s balm. The parting is not forever, Just transient—a weary day, Ere the sun sinks low on our joy and sorrow, Then we’ll join him over the way. John Thomas was born in 1906. He died March 18, 1924. He joined our class in the fifth grade, and throughout his school days he was a loving companion and classmate. His presence has been missed greatly in our classrooms and the family circle. He has joined a class in the school of life beyond, where he will ever be climbing to reach the heights of knowledge. ............................. 42 iiMimiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiimimi Alumni 1918 Effie Jemison—Mrs. Harold Monroe, Cascade, Montana.
