In 1930 Mrs. R. H. (Freda) Jones was a beginning teacher at CHS. Supervising the an- nual was one of her extracurricular activities. Since the annual was to be dedicated to the West, the Sen- ior Class came to the conclusion that it would be more fitting to give the annual a typically western name, yet retain the original mean- ing. With this goal in mind the class made a project of writing to every source in the state that they' thought might give them the name “Hilltop” in the Indian language. From about 50 suggestions that the class received, the one which was chosen was sent by a Miss Ro- nan of Missoula. She had grown up in the Flat Head Valley. Her father was an Indian agent on the Flat Head Indian Reservation for many years. Her suggestion was the “Ke- tochi” which means hilltop in the Salish (Flat Head) language. The name was determined by a vote of students, faculty, and some towns- people. 2

Local School Registration August 28-29 Enrollment Up This Year Supt. Oscar B. Prestbo announced on Tuesday that students enrolled in the Cascade Schools for the first day totaled 399. This repre- sents a slight increase from the enrollment the first day a year ago when the total was 391. The ele-1 mentary enrollment increased to 250 from 241 total a year ago. The high school enrollment decreased to 149 students compared to 151 students registered a year ago. At the present time one combin-l ation room will be conducted to re- lieve the overloaded conditions in grades 5 and 6. Mrs. Elizabeth Gessner will be the instructor of this combination group. Mrs. Shar- on Gordon wil be employed as re- medial reading instructor in the elementary school. Pre-registration participation in both the high school and elemen- tary was very commendable, and parents and students are highly praised for their cooperation. The percentage in the high school was 95 plus per cent while in the ele- mentary it was also 95 plus percent. A brekadown of figures, with the pre-registration totals in parenthe- CASCADE GOES CLASS B sis, is as follows: Freshmen 42 (39) Sophomores 36 (36) Juniors 37 (35) Seniors 34 (32) 149 (142) Grade One 22 (20) Grade Two 34 (34) Grade Three 27 (27) Grade Four 27 (25) Grade Five 39 (36) Grade Six 33 (32) Grade Seven 28 (27) Grade Eight 38 (37) Sweeping changes made by the Montana High School Association the past week at meetings in Hel- ena, have resulted in Cascade High School being advanced to Class B competition in all three major sports, football, basketball, and track, according to a directive re- ceived by the school Wednesday morning. The ramifications of the changes are too great to carry entirely in this issue, but we will attempt a full explaination later, perhaps next week. However we do know that the alignment will increase travel dis- tances staggeringly over what they have been. As an example— a di- visional playoff in football might require Cascade to play Ekaiaka Cascade has been placed in one of two districts in the Northern Di- vision. In football they will be re- quired to play eleven man football in a district comprised by Big Sandy, Harlem, Valier, Fairfield, Simms, Sunburst, and Chester. In basketball the alignment puts Cascade in a district with Fort Benton, Big Sandy, Chinook, Har- lem, Malta, Chester, and Simms. The alignment for track will be the same as basketball. The changes become effective on July 1, 1969, so will not effect the track season this spring, but will be in effect for the next school term. Ill) BOB CHSCRDE HIGH SCHOOL CASCADE, MONTHNA
