Cascade High School - Ketochi Yearbook (Cascade, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 50 of the 1950 volume:

FOREWORD I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cornetb my help.'1 . . . Psalms 121:1. This quotation from the Bible has been chosen to express the theme of the 1950 edition of THE KETOCHI. “Ketochi” itself, an Indian word, means “hilltop” and to us it will always suggest the hilltop on which stands the Cascade High School. Just as familiar are the higher hills around us — the butte, Mount Cecilia, and others. These symbolize the greater heights of learning and achievement which we hope to attain. With this as our theme, the Senior Class presents this annual and hopes that it will be treasured long after we have completed our four years on “The Hilltop.” THE KETOCHI (The Hilltop) 1950 Cascade High School Cascade, Montana Published by the SENIOR CLASS of Cascade High School ( 3 ) MRS. LUELLA C. RUMNEY IN APPRECIATION For her constant help and guidance during our Junior and Senior years, the Senior Class of 1950 wishes to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Rumney, our class sponsor.

RUMNEY Sponsor ( 14 ) SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS President — James Bergene Vice President—Mina Nahrgang Secretary-Treasurer — Shirley Hastings Adviser — Mrs. Rumney CLASS COLORS Blue and White CLASS FLOWER Yellow Rose CLASS MOTTO In Ourselves Our Future Lies CLASS HISTORY On a bright, sunny September clay in 1946, eighteen hopeful climbers, members of the Class of 1950, started on their journey to the top of the mountain. Mr. Emerson Miller was the guide and the eighteen climbers were: Jimmy Bergman. Marilyn Mattson, Jim Bergene, George Savoy, Darrell Wade, Frank Faller, Ronald Creveling, Lloyd Maki, Benona Benedict, Tom Corbett, Margaret Beecher, Pete Ellis, and Una Faye Benedict, all from Cascade; Hattie Hemminger from Butte, Kenneth Tague from Great Falls, Mina Nahrgang from Craig, and Madelyn Simp- son and Thomas Cummings from Castner Falls. During this year, Lloyd Maki dropped from the group. Being a very ambitious class (and also polite) we sponsored a Sophomore Return Dance, honoring the sophomores even after the many cruelties we had suffered from their hands during initiation. We also won recognition in other fields: six of our members were placed on the basketball team and we took the first three places in the school declamation contest. By now we were finishing our freshman year of climbing and the foothills which had seemed so steep at the beginning were now behind us and we had our eyes on the steeper slopes above. As the Class of 1950 resumed their climb in their sophomore year, two were missing from their number. Kenneth Tague returned to Great Falls, and Ronald Creveling also left. Mr. H. H. Humiston replaced Mr. Miller as our guide. During this sophomore year we sponsored several events. First of all was the Freshman Initiation, carefully and cruelly plotted by us, to invite all those who survived to join the freshman ranks of C. H. S. Later in the year, we sponsored a Sadie Haw- kins dance which was a huge success and a good time was had by all — girls especially! 15 ) CLASS HISTORY (Continued) In the spring our first project was a May Dance. The gym was decorated in gay pastel spring colors of pink, yellow, and green. Due to the fact that we scooped the Junior Prom by one week it rained buckets upon buckets, and while we had very good food, entertainment and music, we ended up with negligible attendance (comprised mainly of loyal sophomores), a muddy gym, and a treasury $40 in the hole. However, even though the May Dance successfully depleted our treasury, it didn't deplete our spirit. We sponsored the Ketochi Day program and dance and at the end of the year we cheerfully sent the Class of ’48 on their way into the cruel world by giving them a reception and decorating the church for Baccalaureate. By the time the school year of 1948-1949 arrived, we were safely over half-way up the hill. Bonnie Tintinger and Una Faye Moore were dropped during the year, but we gained Shirley Hastings and Kenneth Tague from Great Falls, Jenny McDonough from Wolf Creek, and Howard Moore from Long Beach, California. Mrs. Luella Rumney became our guide at this time and remained with us to the end of our journey. The first event of the year undertaken by the Junior Class was a basket social. It turned out successfully and our treasury took on a rosier color and the outlook was bright. Since most of the Junior boys played on the basketball team, we postponed our play until April 1. The title of the play was, “So Help Me,” and besides bringing out the dramatic talent in our class, was a lot of fun and very profitable, too. Three weeks later, on April 22, we honored the Seniors with the Junior Prom. Using a Hawaiian theme, we transformed the gym with palm trees, a grass hut. a boat, and even an island into a South Seas paradise, and Paul and His Royal Hawaiians completed the illusion. The decorations which took us weeks to perfect took only an hour to demolish completely on-the Monday after the Prom. J he end of our journey to the top of the hill was now in sight as we became the Senior Class of 1950. As all the preceding senior classes had done, we started the year by giving the “Senior Mixer,” a get-acquainted party for all C. H. S. students. Joining the group for this final climb were Van Fayler from Augusta and Mary Sullivan from Philipsburg. During the year Benona Benedict and Howard Moore were dropped. Later on in the fall the Seniors also sponsored a basket social. At the beginning of the basketball season it was agreed that the Seniors would take complete charge of concession selling at the basketball games and at the District Tournament. The profits would be split with the “C” Club at the end of the year. Ambitious as always, early in December we decided to publish an annual, THE KETOCHI, which had last been published in 1932. Our deadline was April 10, and with much cramming and hard work, we finally met it. By now we are nearly to the top of the peak, with only Sneak Day, Bacca- laureate, Class Night, and, finally, Commencement Night, left to complete our ascent. After careful calculations, we have decided we will reach the utmost point of our climb on May 24. Then we will hold that precious piece of paper in our hands and survey, behind and below us, the four hard, but rewarding years, which it took to climb from the foothills to the “top of the mountain.” ( 16 ) CLASS WILI We, the Senior Class of 1950, being of sound mind and able body, bequeath the following to the students, teachers and classes of Cascade High School. TO THE TEACHERS we leave a very quiet and peaceful school in the hope that they will treat it with as much respect as did we. TO THE JUNIORS we leave our fifty percent of the concessions, our dignity, our love and our extravagance. TO THE SOPHOMORES we leave our ability to relax in English class. TO THE FRESHMEN we leave our mentality, good looks, neat appear- ance. and three enjoyable years of high school. JIM BERGENE leaves his height and his ability to play basketball to Harry Friberg. SHIRLEY HASTINGS leaves her ability to type to Marjory Friberg, in hopes of improving the Junior Class. KENNETH TAGUE leaves his salesmanship and cheer-leading ability to Lawrence Cabrin. JIM BERGMAN leaves his flashy socks to Tom McSlov as a “danger” sign to the girls. MADELYN SIMPSON leaves her ability to hook a man to Marge Askew. MARILYN MATTSON leaves the piano stool to Beverly Standley and her Senior parties to Maryanne Beacher in hopes she will liven up the Sophomore class. GEORGE SAVOY leaves his eyelashes and his ability to flatter the girls to Duane Woods. MARY SULLIVAN leaves her thanks to all for the friendliness shown her when she enrolled as a Senior at Cascade High. TOM CORBETT leaves his jitter-bugging to Marie Klock. DARRELL WADE leaves his ability to do Physics to anyone who doesn’t need a credit. MARGARET BEECHER leaves her braces—at last—to anyone. FRANK FALLER leaves his speed and his “engaged” look to Don Skites. VAN FAYLER leaves his car to Bonnie. JENNY McDONOUGH leaves her ability to shoot baskets to John Hegland, and her cartoons to the Ketochi. HATTIE HEMMINGER leaves her shyness to Jeannie Steele. PETE ELLIS leaves his “Railroad Highlights” to Don Creveling. MINA NAHRGANG leaves her cute giggle to John Woods, and her suitcase to the Home Ec. class. Signed and sealed by the Senior Class of 1950 this 24th day of May. in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty. ( 17 ) CLASS PROPHECY George Savoy and I, Darrell Wade, started from California for Cascade. Mon- tana, in our new Buick convertable on May 24, 1970. Although George and T just returned from the Amazon jungle, where for the last two years we have been looking for the Lost Amazon Mine, we were eager to be on our way again because we were going to a reunion of the Class of 1950 at the new million dollar Cascade High School. The present superintendent and coach is James D. Bergene. none other than our own Jim. It was just twenty years after our graduation on May 24, 1950. After a day’s traveling over super highways, we were soon in Helena. We stayed there overnight and left early the next morning for Cascade. At Wolf Creek we stopped to look at the scenery and whom should we see but our old classmate. Mary Sullivan, who was now the wife of a prosperous rancher. After chatting with Mary for awhile we headed down the canyon for Cascade. When we got to Craig we saw a beautiful Cadillac coming leisurely down the Craig lane and to our surprise we recognized the driver to be Jim Bergman, now State Recreation Super- visor. He lives at Craig with his wife, Mina, and their five kids. Yes, there were five of them. A real basketball team. We then headed for town and passed what used to be the Mountain Palace. It was now a palatial charm school and Little Theater, with Margaret Beecher directing a spectacular production with the mountains as a natural background. We bade her farewell and continued on. As we entered town we decided it looked the same except for a few new buildings and a few less old ones. We were getting pretty thirsty from our long trip so we decided to stop at what was formerly Bergmann’s, for something to drink. It was now known as HATTIE’S and was owned and operated by our old classmate, Hattie Hemminger. It was listed first in Duncan Hines and gourmets came from the world around to sample her famous food. As we left the cafe, we heard a plane zoom overhead and looking up saw the slogan, “Fly the Hastings’ Way ’ written on the fuselage of a large silver plane. We hurried out to the Cascade Municipal Airport in time to see our former class- mate, Shirley Hastings, alight from the plane. She had just flown her husband, Tom Corbett, back from surveying his vast lumber holdings in Alaska. Returning from the airport, George slammed his finger in the door. Since it was badly bruised and cut, we took him to the new Cascade Hospital, and there we found Marilyn Mattson, physician and surgeon, in charge. Across the street from the hospital we saw a sign which read, KENNETH TAGUE, REAL ESTATE BROKER, STOCKS AND BONDS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF. That really interested us, because Kenny was also an old classmate of ours. And in Kenny’s office we found Van Fayler, making his second million on the stock market and preparing to retire soon. As we came out and stood on the corner again, we saw something zooming down the highway and when it came to a screeching stop, out climbed our old classmate, Frank Faller. Ah, yes. Speed-ball Faller! He said he was making a good living by selling hot rods of his own design and also that his wife, the former Madelyn Simpson, was very interested in his work, when not taking care of their twin boys. Now it was time for the highlight of the trip. The reunion banquet. As we all sat around the banquet table we talked over old times and the success each one had attained. After twenty years, we felt that each individual of the Class of '50 had proved himself ‘ The One Most Likely to Succeed.” ( i«) Horaee Anderson Donald Creveling Irvin Cooper Marjery Friberg John Hegland Vice President Marie Klock Darlene Loveland Tom McSloy President Anna K.

JOE CARROLL—TIMER COACH ROBERT EASTBURN EL WIN GESSNER HEAD LINESMAN FOOTBALI The first football game was played on the Badgers’ field against a strong Simms club. Rain and wind kept both teams from using the air effectively. Simms ran at will the first half as the Badgers’ blocking and tackling were off. In the second half Cascade got its backfield rolling but found the 26 point lead too much to overcome. Simms held their lead and went on to win, 26 to 0. Second game of the season pitted the Badgers against the strong Highwood team. Cascade showed very well in key blocks, which helped them through to two touchdowns. Cascade also had an excellent passing combination in Bergman to Bergene, who set up the chance for both touchdowns. The Badgers won over the Mountaineers. 12 to 6. Next game of the season saw the Cascade team playing against the larger Centerville Miners. Jim Bergene was unable to play that game due to a knee injury. Dick Evans, Sophomore halfback, scored the only touchdown of the game and put on a brilliant display of broken field running, breaking away time after time for large gains. The larger Center- ville team wore Cascade down, scoring two touchdowns in the third period and going on to win, 19 to 6. The Badgers journeyed to Belt for the next game, with two members of the team out with injuries. The team showed poorly on pass defense and tackling. Bergman threw passes to Bergene and Benedict for the touchdowns, as Benedict made the conversion. Again the Cascade team tasted defeat. 14 to 18. The last game of the season was against Dutton and proved to be a field day for Cascade as Frank Faller scored six touchdowns, Dick Evans scored two, and Buzz Sand one. Blocking and tackling were very good and it gave the Badgers a chance to make a good showing in their last game of the season. Cascade won the game. 54 to 16. Four Seniors played their last game of football for Cascade. They were: Co-Captain Jim Berg- man. Benona Benedict. Jim Bergene, and Co-Captain Frank Faller. ( 33 ) CASCADE BADGERS The 1049-1950 Badger squad emerged from the past season with a very im- pressive record. They combined a strong defensive game with a powerful offensive attack to produce one of the best balanced cage squads in recent years. This squad also displayed a driving, hard-fighting brand of basketball, which is essential for winning. The Cascade crew won 16 games while losing 9. Four of these losses were at •' e hands of the strong Sunburst and Valier teams and one to the strong Class B Central Catholic team. In district play the Badger men won 15 while losing 4, which placed them at the top in the conference standing. District No. 10 tournament was held at Cascade this year with the team placing third, losing to Centerville in the semi-finals and then turning back Power and Geraldine the next day to place third in the finals. The Badgers lose three men by graduation: Co-Captain Jim Bergene, Frank Faller, and Co-Captain Jim Bergman. Coach Eastburn will have to depend on reserves to replace these valuable Seniors. LINEUP: JIM BERGENE, Senior—the 6 foot 1 inch center of the Badger crew has been rated one of the outstanding Class C cagers in the state. Jim has led the scoring pace throughout his high school days and will be hard to replace next year. JIM BERGMAN, Senior—has been rated by his team mates as an outstanding team man. His ability at the guard spot has led to many a Badger victory. Jim will leave an impressive athletic record upon graduation. FRANK FALLER, Senior—his backboard ability has been his greatest threat to the opponent the past four years—injuries have kept the tall eager from the lineup much of the past season. IRVIN COOPER, Junior—has played regular guard the past two years and carried his share of the offensive load. His steadiness at this post has been a great factor to the Badger cause. Cooper was elected Co-Captain of the 1950-51 squad. JOHN HEGLANI), Junior—with a deadly left hand, has placed himself in the runner-up spot in the scoring race this year—highlight of the year was his 25-point performance against Catholic Central. MAYNARD SI MENSO , Junior—the hard-driving forward added the spark the team needed when he entered the Badger field last fall. His record has proven its worth when he was elected Co-Captain at the close of the past season. DICK EVANS, CHARLES SANDS, BOB McWHIRTER, and HORACE AN- DERSON, rounded out the ten-man squad—these boys have shown great promise and should be able to fill vacancies that will be left by graduation.

The Badger crew set new records in all departments while Jim Beigene broke one of his own records set in 1949. Greatest change was in the team’s game average, which was raised over 11 points per game over last year’s mark. Lloyd Faller’s individual performance in 1948 of 32 points in one game was unbroken. Bergene moved the closest with 20 against Simms, while Hegland hit 25 against Central Catholic.

BASEBALL For the first time in the history of Cascade High a baseball team will represent the school in interscholastic competition. Under the new state-wide baseball system the Badgers compete against Fort Benton, Centerville, Belt, Simms, Fairfield, Great Falls Cen- tral, and Augusta for district laurels. Members of the inexperienced but eager Badger squad competing for first string berths were: Cooper, Bergman, Faller, Bergene, Brewer, Evans, Cabrin, Simenson, Hastings, Loveland, Johnson, Hemminger, Hegland, Martin, Sand, Anderson, McWhirter, and Flanagan. Although this season was the first for the Badger diamond enthusi- asts, prospects look bright for the coming year.
