THE CASCADE COMET Class History On the morning of September 6, 1925, the shuffling of sixty-four feet could be heard on the steps and in the hallways, as thirty-two obstreperous Freshmen entered the castle which their well-known and ancient enemy, the Sophomores, had forbidden with the penalty of initiation. Nevertheless, they entered fearlessly, ready to scale Mount Algebra, oust General Science, and overcome a thousand other difficulties in order to reach their distant goal, Graduation. The first week following their advent into high school life was not so bad, but, of course, Friday night had to come with it initiation, which was a hubbub of frights, thrills, and dangers. The initiation left thirty-two of the most fearless Freshmen that have ever been known to enter the for- bidden castle, a little in awe of the Sophs. We soon forgot about the initiation and returned to our school work, for we secretly enjoyed high school life. A few weeks later we returned the party, which the Sophomores enjoyed, proving the Freshies, although green, satisfactory hosts. This year we were minus Mr. Scherf, our former principal, who had resigned during the summer to go to Lewistown. Mr. Bergan took his place. The following September we returned to school, but not with our thirty-two classmates. Only twenty-six returned ;• but they were all the more happy, for this year we were the givers of jokes and tricks, instead of the receivers of all. The six members we lost from the class were Eldon Nicholson, Gladys Freel, Isabel Oliver and Frances Loss, who discontinued school permanently; Edward Tabor and Tranny Tabor, who continued school in Great Falls; Dorothy Thomas, who moved to California where she continued school. During this year we showed some promising material in basket ball by adding Fred Berger and Harlan Mattson as substitutes to the team on which were already Garnett McCollim and Stanley Sanderson. September, 1927, twenty-one of us returned to Cascade High to finish the last half of our journey. Wesley Hughes was chosen president; Edward Murphy, vice president, and Garnett McCollim, secretary and treasurer, to uphold the glory of ’29. The five classmates we lost from the Sophomore class were Erma Woolsev and Irene Stone, who were both married; Robert O’Connor, who entered school at Belt; Glen Turner and Fred Nicholson, who discontinued school. Although we lost some class- mates, we gathered in Theron Fowell, Harry Smithers, Oakley Searle and David Dea to fill in the vacant places left by them. In May we gave the Junior Prom in honor of the Senior Class. A week later we bade farewell with a banquet given at the Cascade Hotel. The fall of 28 we returned with almost our entire class. Those that didn’t return were Helen Kologi, who discontinued school; Arnold Anderson and Theron Page Thirteen

T H E CASCADE COME T Fowell, who left to continue in other schools. Kenneth Briscoe dropped out during the year. The rest of us continued the interminable climb to knowledge. Again the members of the class came forth with prominence on the basketball floor and before the close of the season the entire basketball team was composed of seniors. During our last year a tragedy came to the class with the death of our well-loved classmate, Harry Smithers. Although Harry Smithers had entered our immediate class only during the Junior year, he was well known and highly honored bv the members of our class, and his presence is greatly missed by the entire school. And now that the end of our journey is reached, we can look back and see the prom and banquet given us by the Class of ’30, Class and Commencement Nights, and last, but not least, the receiving of our diplomas. The Senior year has also brought us our rings, cards and pictures, and with these we will always remember the happy days we spent at Cascade High. At the close of its high school life, this class has happy reminiscences and heaps of loyalty to the dear old C. H. S. Last Will and Testament We, the class of 1929, of the Cascade High School, do hereby bequeath this last will and testament to the faculty and to the students of the Associated Student Body. To the juniors we leave our right to chew gum in all classes and our desire for an annual next year. To the sophomores we leave our studious habits and extremely good looks.
