May. 1925 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 5 HISTORY OF CHINOOK HIGH SCHOOL The old man regarded me with a fixed stare for perhaps a minute, then slowly and deliberately he drew out of his pocket an old pipe and a pouch of murderous looking tobacco. He filled up and commenced to smoke slowly. Could you give me any information on the matter? I asked him again, half afraid that he would kick me out for a foolish young loafer. He did not seem to hear my question, but continued to look at me in a very thoughtful manner. Suddenly he cleared his throat. So it’s a history of the school yer awan'-in. hey?” Yes, yes.” I said hastily, with renewed hope. Yes, that's what I want. Now if you would Now jest hold your shirt on.” he interrupted me. Why don't you go to John Whitehead or Mr. Willman? Them two would both give you the facts.” Facts, I told him. are not exactly what 1 want. I have interviewed both of the men you mention and they both helped me a lot. but what I want is the story; something that is more interesting than facts.” “Oh. it’s a story you want instead of a Ms-story, I see. He chuckled thoughtfully. You’re not so big a fool as I sized ye up to to be; but I sized you up to be a pretty big one so don't feel too cocky.” I gulped and grew red. but said nothing. The old man took a few more puffs from his Hire and then told me the following story just as it stands: Now there is jest one thing that's bound tc follow a bunch of pioneers, and that’s kids. An’ there is jest one thing that’s bound to follow kids, an’ that's schools. That accounts fer the school startin’ here in 1S90. the town bein’ started in 1888. Now Lizzie Curtis, the first teacher ” “You mean Miss Elizabeth Curtis? Nope, thar weren’t no Miss Elizabeth about it as fer as I can rec’lect. She were ies' plain Lizzie. As I was sayin' afore you interrupted me, Lizzie Curtis were the first schoolmarm. an' the first school was the old town hall. The kids in them days hated it as a school, jes' as much as the guys nowadays hate it as a jail. Lizzie were teacher fer two years an’ except fer gainin' the everlastin’ hatred of all the kids, which every good teacher in them days did, she were pretty well liked. The next director of the edikation of the younger set were a Miss Lenord. an’ her sister stood beside her a most able assistant. These gals held the reins fer about one season when they was relieved by Miss Black-stone. I don’t know very much about any o' these gals ’cause I was goln’ with a steady then an' didn't dare take any of ’em out to dunces and sicli. But I sure can vouch fer Liz-'ie—she were a pippin. “Durin’ this period of growth on the part of the town an’ the kids, the citizens got ashamed of sendin’ their kids to a future jail so they up an’ erects a four-room brick huildin' outa home made bricks, which were sure punk. At the head of this ‘venerable institution of knowledge.’ as It was called when they dedicated it. they placed Mr. John Whitehead, and his left hand they placed a bunch of kids fer raw material an’ told him ’Go to it. John: make sumpin’ out of 'em; there is some promisin’ kids there.’ ‘Yep.’ said John, lookin' straight at my nephew, ‘there are several likely-looking candidates fer Deer Lodge an’ one which looks like he might graduate from Leavenworth.' As an assistant. John were very lucky in hrvin' Miss Cook, which was later argued into changin' her name to Mrs. Sands, as it now stands. These two skeered the kids clear of the distructin’ rocks of ignorance fer two years an’ how they ever taught that nephew o‘ mine as much as they did gets me. fer he always took after his uncle, which is me. The next guy which took hold of the steerin' gear was a duck by the name of Drake, an’ he sure was some fowl, let me tell you. I ain’t givin’ no personal opinions, but from what I hoerd and seed, an' from what other folks said. I have come to the conclusion that the poor feller weren’t so crooked as the town made him out to be: however, that don’t help much, fer the town sure painted him up. My nephew, after he had got run out o’ school fer chewin’ to-baccy, said he were so crooked he would make a snake's tracks look like the edge of a ruler, but of course that’s jest a kid’s opinion, an’ a kid which had got plenty o’ lickin’s. at that. ‘‘Drake hung on fer one season, when he was relieved by Scotty McFarlane. Except fer an awful habit of eatin’ rolled oats every niornin’ fer breakfast, he were a pretty good guy. He were quite good at teachin the kids arithmetic by the means of rules or rulers. It weren’t no time before every kid in school was aware of the fact that two swats plus two swats not only equaled four swats, but it also equaled a sore bottom and no mistake. Scotty stayed with her fer a year an could a took another swing at her but he moved on to a higher job. so H. A. Davee stepped into his shoes and manned the rudder fer five years, which must ’a been a strain on his constitution, fer my nephew was back in school: that is. when he weren’t playin’ hookey. Mr. Davee has the distinction of bein’ the guy what started the three-year high school. The next guy I can think of was Rankin, which back in those days meant the same thing as argument, fer a bitter feud was fought over that guy. ‘His enemies were bitter an’ his friends were very staunch.’ says Shakespeare, or some one equal to him, an’ I guess he were right in this case. I was his friend, fer he taught my nephew the ten tables, which no teacher had been successful in doin’ before. This. I believe, is a standin’ monument to his abilities as a teacher. Rankin left, an’ in his place came Mr. Willman. of which you no doubt have heard. Now just as Willman came things were in awful shape. Durin’ all these years, while the kids’ edication had been bettered, the huildin'. strange to say. had been doin’ jest the opposite. Those old home constructed bricks were so far apart that when the wind blew the poor kids had to leave their hats on to keep the hair from Mowin' off their heads. After much arguin' back and forth, pro an' con. an’ a little fightin' on the side, it was decided to build the big brick buildin’ which now stands. There was much language spilt on the subpect of the size an' it was decided to only build half the buildin' an' then add rooms on as was needed. A room was added on every year. “Now while they were buildin this edifice as the dictionaries say, school was spread pretty much all over town. Some of it was held in the Church, some in the town hall, an' some in the Dickson block. Mr. Willman ruled with a strong and steady hand fer many years. He is the guy that was guilty of gettin’ the school on the accredited list an’ a bunch o’ other honors. He started football an’ made quite a reputation fer himself as coach of winnin’ teams. He also graduated my nephew, which is one o' the clouded mysteries o’ my life—it is almost as bafflin' as tryin’ to figure how he learned the ten tables. “Now while Mr. Willman were buildin’ up the standards of the old school, some crazy female ‘back east’ got some crazy idea about women rights an’ she started pushin’ fer woman suffrage, makin’ the men suffer more than the men ever did. Of course with the advent of the woman winnin’ the ballot, she commenced to win prestige in the way of edication. etc. “The old school had at that time a feminine principal an’ with the passin' of Mr. Willman the School Board decided to try to run the rapids with a woman captain, so Miss Dickey were installed as chief. “Now if I get bitter, excuse me. I cain’t help it. I used to like women quite a little, that is before I got married, but now I have to git a grip on myself before I can tolerate ’em. Next to the rustlin’ of a snake in the grass. I hate to hear the rustlin' of a woman's skirts. I’m gun-shy. boy—I got a reason to be—you oughta know my wife. Well, as I said. I have no use fer women, consequently I had no use fer Miss Dickey but man to man. if you won’t tell no one. I’ll say this—she didn't make quite so much of a flop as I thought she would. About the only mean thing she did was to kill off football. When Miss Dickey left, a young feller by the name of J. B. Tucker was ushered in. He. too. had a steady head an’ a hard hand. He managed the school with the utmost ability, but gainin’ the disfavor of certain residents of our fair city he left in the midst of cheers of his lovin’ friends. He were a real man. Up on the Big Flat, near Harlem, there lived a tall and solom man who had a wife equally as tall and equally as solom. When Tucker left he cast his eye upon the job an' offered himself as the next martyr to the glorious cause of edication. His offer was accepted and he spent three desperate years (Continued on page ten) G THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1925 FACULTY. Lower row. left to right—Beatrice Northup. Marjorie Soule. Esther Anderson.

THE FACULTY With such a line group of officials in charge of affairs, the C. H. S. army came through this year with flying colors. They deserve a great deal of credit for the various things achieved this year and we want you to know these line men and women. Our commander-in-chief. Robert Julian, halls from Charles City. Iowa, where he attended school. After graduating from the Charles City High School, he went to Upper Iowa University and received his diploma in 1918. While there he specialized in History and Political Science. He entered the war and afterwards took a post-graduate course in Ixuulon. He has also taken postgraduate work at Chicago University. Before coming to Montana. «ie taught in Iowa and Nebraska and in 1922 came to Montana, accepting a position as principal of the Havre High School. He came to Chinook in 1922 as our superintendent and is still with us. We think he is one of the finest men Chinook High School has ever known. Esther Anderson, our peppy girls’ basket ball coach, is from Langford. South Dakota. She was graduated from the I angford High School in 1918 and from Gustavus Adolphus at St. Peters. Minnesota, in 1922. During 1922-23 she taught at Raymond. South Dakota. and in 1923 came to Chinook. During her two years’ stay here she has had charge of the English work in the 7th, 8th. 9th, and loth grades; has been girls' basket ball coach, and has also had charge of the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. The winning team she has produced in basket ball aud the showing which the two winners of the extemporaneous speaking contest made these last two years, will certainly show her ability as a coach in more than one line. The Basket Ball girls, especially, think the world and all of her and when it comes to making trips just ask them about it! Hazel McNall is Scotch, of course, and “MacNall is my name, if you please.” She was born near Valentine, Nebraska, but was only a year old when her parents moved to Grand Island. Nebraska. In 1918 she came to Montana with her parents and entered Gallatin County High School. After graduating from there she went to the Montana State College at Bozeman end was graduated in June 1924. Last fall she came to Chinook to try her hand at Home Economics and has been busy trying to teach her Freshman girls the proper way to run a household and perhaps to gain some experience in that line herself, as we hear she will soon launch on the matrimonial sea. We have all sampled dinners and luncheons prepared by her girls and—well, they speak for themselves. Beatrice Northup. our bright little language teacher, was born and lived in the same southern Illinois town where her parents were born and raised. She attended Knox College and while mere belonged to the Dramatic Club, Girls’ Athletic Club, and won honors in French. Before coming to Chinook, she taught at BufTalo, Wyoming. This is her second year here and this year, besides teaching two classes of Latin and French and her Senior English class, she directed the Senior Play and the Dramatic Club and also appeared before the public several times in various readings. The Class of ’25 is the second Senior Class she has piloted through the rough sailing of “Senior-dom and the Seniors heartily appreciate all that she has done for them. She plans on attending Ellison-White School of Dramatic Art in Portland, Oregon, next year. Francis Peterson does not. come from Sweden. as one would suppose, but from Nampa, Idaho. He went to school at. Nampa and graduated from the high school there. He attended college at ..� oseow. Idaho, and graduated from there in 1924. One can tell from his appearance that he was an exceptionally good student. He holds an Alpha Zeta scholarship honorary fraternity from Uis college. Last fall, he came here as science instructor and is also the Skull and Bones Club sponsor. His favorite hobby is arguing and many are the arguments that have been waged in his classes. He’s a good scout nevertheless, and well liked by I.is pupils. Marjorie Soule, our popular Commercial teacher, is from Fargo, North Dakota. She attended both the University of North Dakota and the Interstate Business College. While at the University she was president of the Girls’ Glee Club, a member of the Oratorio Musical Society and Women's Athletic Association. You see she is quite musically inclined! She was assistant cashier of the bank at Norwich, North Dakota, and last year had charge of the Commercial work and Girls’ Athletics at Buffalo, Montana. This year, besides having charge of all the Commercial work she has the responsibility of getting the Freshmen started on the straight and narrow path. She also has the reputation of being the best, natured teacher we have. We all agree on that, and we often wonder how she can stay good-natured all the time. Vernon Sanders is from the South. You can tell by looking at him. He spent the first thirteen years of his life in a little Kentucky town. He attended school there, later going to Berea. Kentucky, where he graduated in 1923. and came to Chinook that fall. While at college he took part in all athletics besides belonging to several organizations. He teaches mathematics and American Literature besides being Athletic coach. His ability as a coach is unquestionable and when it comes to being full of pep and fun, he takes the cake. Last summer he attended the University of Washington but this summer plans on returning to the •and of the cypress and pine.” You all know Huston Smith. He’s already distinguished himself during his two years stay at Chinook, but something of his former life will not be amiss here. He was born in Indiana. Later his parents moved to North Dakota and from there came to eastern Montana. He attended high school at Culbertson. but finished his high school work at Oherlin Academy in Ohio and also attended college there, winning his letter in football and numerals in track, besides taking active part in the Literary Society. When war was declared he immediately enlisted. trained at Montgomery, Alabama, went to France and took ;;art in several important battles of the war. including the Muese-Argonne. On his return in 1919. he spent three months in a hospital recovering from injuries received in France and in the fall of 1920 entered Montana State College and took vocational training. During 1922-1923 he attended Cornell and came to Chinook in the fall of 1923. as Agricultural instructor. He holds several honorary scholarships also. Mr. Smith has won many friends during his stay here and his ability to entertain well, some say he should be on the stage instead of teaching Agriculture.

All day she had been trying to drill into about twenty-five little heads what school discipline meant—that the place tor each little ivory head was at their seat, not crowding around the teacher's desk. After getting each member of the original class of 1925 unwillingly seated at their little red desks, and the eyes of at least part of this future brainy class Intent on their work, some small boy or girl would onto to the desk or be called there to receive private instruction. As soon as the rest of her loving pupils noticed that some fellow student was being so favored by the teacher, each and every one of them would rush to her desk to receive their share of attention. They would crowd around her like a brood of chickens and if she tried to escape from her besieged seat of authority they followed her and swamped the poor instructor with questions and requests for help, until as a last resort she would look her crossest and send the misunderstood pupils to their seats. Do you wonder that a headache should follow such a day? After we had just begun to see the light and learn what school hours meant we were turned loose for our summer vacation. Assembling again in the fall, we found that a new recruit. Madeline Arnold, had been added to the class. Miss Ludwig was placed at the head of the judicial and legislative department of this class of noisy second graders. We were given our first instruction in the use of pen and ink. that weapon that we in after years have used so advantageously to put ink on the neck of some near-by friend. We had only one thing to fear that year, a visit from the superintendent. then Mr. Willman. He would visit our room and in a friendly way run his fingers thru the hair of some boy, probably not realizing the cruelty he was inflicting upon the frightened youngster. Part of the preceding class, because of the crowded condition in the third grade room, was given the honor of being seated in our room. This was repeated in the third and fourth grades so that the two classes became very intimate and kept this comradsship until the other class graduated last year. Our third ; nd fourth years in school were under the authority of Ilo Arnold, now Mrs. Wooldridge. The name of Miss Arnold will always be dear to us because of the many good times we had under her. It was during these two years that Miss Woodman gave i.s musical instruction. This was the foundation for the talent in singing that the Senior girls have shown in later years. It was during our fourth year that Juanita 1'arbolt and Louis Hensen entered our class. Our fifth grade teacher was Miss Greger-son. In the fifth grade we first showed a great interest in basketball and the hoys had a real team that year. In the sixth grade Miss Redmond was stationed at the front of the room—unfortunately she made a very good target for spit-balls. It was the practice for all detained boys to climb out the windows while the teacher was marching the rest of the room out for dismissal, until Mrs. J. F. Williams. then the seventh grade teacher, got the very bad habit of being under the window just as we reached the ground. You can imagine what happened then. In the seventh grade we first felt the class patriotism that has stayed with us ever since. Mr. Weaver, a jolly Southerner, felt that all knowledge does not come out of I -xt books, so we organized a champion basketball team and cleaned up every team we played from Hingham to Harlem. Wo received drill in parliamentary law and havo ever since retained the knowledge thus obtained. If you don’t believe me you should hear one of our Senior Class meetings. Marie Maeirt came in from the sage brush fiats and threw in her lot with us in the seventh grade. We started our eighth year with Mr. Rhodes in the dignified old desk that he so abused. Mr. Rhodes left a lasting impression on all of us, with his slow drawl and rangy build: he also left a deep impression c-n his desk, but that was with a baseball 1 at. the nearest thing he could lay his hands on when he became angered at his less respectful pupils. After Mr. Rhodes left us we had three different teachers before Mrs. Trumbull finally took us in hand. Mrs. Trumbull believed in “work while you work and play when you play.” so the year did not come out as badly as it seemed as if it might at the start. Our parties and sleigh rides were so good that the other classes envied us. Our new members In the eighth grade were Kathleen Gibbs and Goldie Bloomer. We started the Freshman year with a roll call of forty-three. Of this class Carol Doyle has moved to Long Beach. California: Charley Easbey is now in St. Paul: lola Kimsey •s married: May Quesnel is a nurse at the Sacred Heart hospital in Havre: Kenneth and Ronald Ronne are going to a polytechnics! school in Portland. Oregon: Frank Thibodeau has moved to Helena: Anna Ze-man has moved to Seattle; Sam Gibson is In Kalispell. Montana; Eileen Moe has moved to Dale, Oregon; Lillian Miller will graduate from Great Falls this year; Lawrence Smith is at Flint. Michigan; Lucy Sliireman is in Denver: Dora Simons is at Kalispell; Albert Acher. William Hiebert. Leslie Mallett, Irene O’Brien and Jens Spring are living here. We wish that these members could have helped us in our last function for dear old C. H. S. Norma Gesell was elected class president the Sophomore year and under her skillful leadership the year proved very successful for us. Bill Maney was added to the class here. We started the Junior year with Dave Schnee at the helm. In the annual class light we were defeated, but showed the Seniors a good fight and proved we were good losers by joining them in a breakfast after an all-night battle. On Hallowe'en the Juniors and Seniors declared a “Sneak Day” and had a lively picnic at Milk River grove. The following Monday we had a livlier time right at school. Both of the classes par iicipating in the affair were disorganized and the Juniors did not reorganize again until the next to the last six-weeks, but in the remainder of the year we accomplished more than most Juniors do in an entire year. To redeem ourselves we fixed up the playgrounds; we furnished one team and scraper to cut back the bank and another to haul sand and sawdust for the jumping pits. The rest of the class worked at the pit. with the result that they wore several large blis lers on their hands. Of course the girls were prouder of the blisters than they were of the pit. After redeeming ourselves we began work on the Junior Prom. Altho we were faced by the great difficulty of covering the expenses, we gave the Seniors a gorgeous banquet, with several witty toasts by some of the students and faculty, followed by a snappy dance. The Seniors all said that it was the best Prom ever given with the exception of the Prom of the preceding year. It was no wonder that everything was a success with such jolly sponsors. Miss Clark and Merrill Smith. During the summer vacation the class received «i great blow when we learned of Merrill Smith’s death. The Senior year has been the best of them all. Bergeloit Zakariason and Helen Montgomery joined us in the last lap of our twelve-year endurance race. We began right by electing Juanita Harbolt as class president. Louis Hensen as vice president, and Marie Maeirt as secretary and treasurer. Our sponsor. Miss Nortliup, can not be beat in quality even if she is lacking in quantity, and believes in making class functions successful—no wonder our class play was so successful. From the beginning of the year the Seniors showed their desire to put out an annual. Because of the lack of funds we had to alter the form of the annual in order to cut down on expenses and keep the standard of the annuals of 1919 and 1920. We have put our best into this annual that we might leave behind us a “Chinook Breeze” worthy of the class of 1925. So my history ends with only the beginning of our story told, leaving thirteen classmates. equipped with a good high school training, ready and ambitious to add still more credit to our small group. With the same spirit we have shown in all activities, we shall continue to make our history one which you will be pleased to know. -------CHS.------- CLASS WILL We, the class of nineteen twenty-five of Chinook High School of the State of Montana. being in generous frame of mind and being desirous of leaving our valuable possessions to the pleasant companions of our High School days while we have ambition and desire to do so. do declare this our last will and testament as follows: First—We do bequeath to our immediate successors, the Junior Class, our empty roll call seats in room twenty-one. our class spirit and our ability to accomplish anything we undertake.

In that year the beet factory came And all of this country got into the game. And now ten thousand live in this town, With beautiful buildings all up and down. There goes the phone—I hope It may be Some one of my class to talk to me. Hello, hello. Bill Maney. you say? I haven’t seen you. Bill, in many a day. You milked ninety cows, the last I knew— Supplies all of Zurich and Lohman too. So now you’re senator? I’ll be blest! You’ve surely been busy in feathering your nest. You say you married a Washington belle? And slated for Cabinet- - well, do tell! Oh yes, I met Evelyn McKinnie last week. She looked so sad and gentle and meek. Clare Evey had married another, she said. There surely was something wrong with his head. She had tried many things but said she was done. And was just about to become a nun. She’d give up the pace in which she had whirled And do some good in this naughty old world. Bergeliot Zakariason tried for the stage. But competition’s too great in this day and age. At last Vassar College wrote to her And offered her a job at five hundred per, As a language teacher she was bidden— Her knowledge in French she kept carefullv hidden. Now keep this secret and lend me your ear She published a Latin pony last year! Whom did you say? Oh. Norma Gesell? We thought she’d go far. but you never can tell. You say she was what? Yell leader in college? And then was expelled for her lack of knowledge ? What's that? She was married and ran away With an organ grinder one summer day? I always thought if her ways didn’t mend She surely would come to some bad end. Do you know where Madeline Arnold is now? To the heathen in China she’s made her first bow? So she married Fat Harbolt after all And to missionary work she’s had a call? Well. I’m surprised—that’s all I can say. How long do you think they’re going to stay. They’re coming back in nineteen-fifty-flve. For our class reunion if they’re alive. Now Kathleen Gibbs was a fine little kid Tho most of her talents she modestly hid. But now I hear she surpasses them all. For she went over to Paris last fall And is now designing the world’s latest fashion— Dressmaking with her has become a passion. She’ll probably marry a Frog over there With a lisp in his talk and curly black hair. I read an account of Milo Sands’ life A year ago. when he took his fifth wife. As a criminal lawyer Milo harangued. But his trusting clients were usually hanged. At last a book agent he decided to be So he started out with fifty volumes on the flea. In this line of work he succeeded at once. For Milo we all know was nonod., s dunce. There’s a newsboy running d.own the street. Crying Extra! Extra! up and down his beat. I think he’s calling Marie Maeirt’s name, How come she’s getting newspaper fame? You say she ran away some time last night And left ten children—well, that’s not right. She followed the circus—fat lady to be— Not much glory in that as I can see. You went to Helena this winter, you say. And for our class it was a great day? The best time in your life you had on that date When Goldie Bloomer was made, governor of this state. Coldie wus always a credit to our class And in every way a likeable lass. Of course we’ll admit she did like the boys— In spite of all that, we wish her many joys. Helen Montgomery’s good sense we all allowed Though she married a man both poor and proud. But later I heard she’d gone on the stage And lived like a bird in a gilded cage. Then an awful tragedy came into her life When her poodle was stabbed with somebody's knife. She put on black and shut herself in And mourned and mourned and grew haggard and thin. Do hurry and tell me about Kathleen Cooper. In Chicago Grand Opera she sang as a super? Married a spelling expert—is that what you say? Well. Leonard Cole was that in our day. Oh—she married him and grew the sugar beet. And thirteen children at their table eat. Their family is large and bills must be big. Then all I eonard can do is dig. dig. dig. Juanita’s been in my mind all day; She visited our city early in May— She said she was left a poor old maid With teaching school her only trade. She used to be so bright and active. And you well know. Bill, how attractive. I can’t understand her single life. She’d made somebody a mignty good wife. Now I’ve never married as you’ve likely guessed. 1 feel that maybe I've been specially blessed. It takes hard work to support a wife And I never could stand sucn a strenuous life. Just now I’m keeper of the city pound. And I gather in every old stray hound. I take my dog and I take my gun And I hunt and fish when my week’s work is done. Well. I’d better ring off or I'll miss my train. I hope sometime we’ll meet again. I greatly enjoyed talking over our classmates— It’s interesting to know what's been their fates. If you come to our city, do look me up, I'll likely he running down somebody’s pup. Now I’m glad that you have climbed so high. And 1 must be going, so good-bye. 10 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1925 JUNIOR CLASS. Sitting—Jesse Brooks. Donald Montgomery. Second row—Frederick Wallner. Francis Easbey, Edward Ruhr. Earl Murphy.

We were subjected to the ridicule and sarcastic remarks of the upper classmen, but took it all in good part and made a vow that wo would not be the only uncomfortable Freshmen. in years to come. Miss Clark and Miss Hobart were our roll call teachers, and we all rejoiced in the fact that here was one point where we excelled. Another thing which added a flavor of interest to this term was the method of detention. We are sorry to say that we almost held night classes during the winter, which gives you a good Idea of what an obedient class we had. By the time the Freshman year was completed. we had lost three of our members. Raymond Gardner. Reba Gibson ami Janet Thibedeau: but by the time school was ready to take up again the next fall Beatrice Lemmon. Vera Murphy and Earl Murphy were here to replace those who had left us the year before. We gave our classes a good send-off at the first of the year and kept the ball rolling thru the entire term by helping win the interclass championship in Football, having three men on the Basketball squad, and winning the interclass track meet. We also showed what the class of 26 could do in speaking and declamatory for they never found us lacking in school spirit, as we were the first ones to edit a class paper and carry out our parties and picnics to perfection. September 1. 1924 the Junior Class started off with a bang! Why shouldn’t we? Look what a class we have! The following new pupils were added to our ranks: Lynn Butcher. Francis Easbey, Edward Ruhr. Leo Peterson. Henry Hallenberger. Nettie Sharpies. Earl Streeter and Mabel Musgrove. When our class was organized we had no political troubles as most politicians do. We elected Francis Easbey as president. Anna (Mine vice-president, and Anna Holst secretary and treasurer. Nettie Sharpies took Anna Cline's place the last semester. It did not take us long to realize that we had some keen social talent in our class and we immediately set out to develop it. We became interested in every club that was organized, and as we wished to take the •ead in every activity, we began competing for the offices. It resulted in Donald Moct-j omery being president of the Skull an 1 Bones Club and secretary of the Student Activity Fund. Frances Boyle president of the Dramatic Club and representative on the Student Body Council. Henry Hollen berger president of the Agricultural Club, with Edward Ruhr secretary and treasurer. Jesse Brooks president of the “C Club and Francis Easbey secretary and treasurer. Vera Murphy chairman of the Student Body Council and secretary and treasurer of the Dramatic Club. There are also six me Thors of our class in the Glee Club and the Dramatic Club is composed ot a majority of Juniors. We also took active part in athletics. i.oonard Cole. Jesse Brooks and Clarence Achen were stars on the basketball team, while Henry Hollenberger and Francis Eas bey were subs. The Juniors wee winm rs of the inter-class basketball a.i • football games, Hollenberger. Cole, Easbey, Brooks. Achen and Leo Peterson starring in football and Montgomery. Murphy. Peterson. Cline, and Hollenberger in inter-class basketball. Nor do we take a back seat in girls' basketball. the star guard and forward on the main team. Loretta Ruhr and Anna Dowen. being members of the good old Junior gang. We have never hesitated at having rlppin' good times, for when the weather would not permit us to hold our semi-annual picnic out of doors last fall we enjoyed “hot flogs. buns and pickles in the basement of the school house. We have also held two bard-time parties, where we discovered we '•ould impersonate, at will, anyone front Ben Turpin to Old Mother Hubbard. The big social event of the season, the Junior Prom, was wliat you might term a “howling success.’’ About seventy-five were in attendance and all enjoyed themselves immensely. Did you ever see anything the Juniors give, a failure? We have all enjoyed the school year immensely and are going to give the Juniors of '25 a final wind up that will not be surpassed by any other class in the future, for Rip Saw! Rip Saw! Rip Saw! Bang! We are the good old Junior Gang! We don’t quarrel, but we can fight! We are Juniors! We’re all right! --------------c.h.s.------ Mr. Peterson in Biology class: What are the three classes of levers. Warren: First class, second class and third class. HISTORY OF CHINOOK HIGH SCHOOL (Continued from page five) in straightenin’ out the tangle he found the school In. After puttin’ things In pretty good shape, he went a huntin' fer a higher edlcatlon. I often wonder if a higher edl-cation makes a man higher in brains an' lower in common sense. Do you know whether it does or not?” No. I said in truth. I really don’t know whether it does or not. Higher education is Lit advantage, however. Perhaps it is! I don’t know, fer 1 don’t Think I ever had one.” I smiled ami he continued his story. “Now there’s another thing that I don’t Mko. an' that's Havre. There’s only one good thing that ever came out of Havre, an’ that’s a man As luck would have it he came to Chinook, an’ some how or other they snared him into being ring leader of the edicatin’ force.

As Shakespeare said: He’s jest like any feller only a little bit different , which hits the thumb tack on the head. An that’s that. Slowly the old man knocked the ashes out of his pipe, replacing it in his mouth with a full quarter-pound of tobacco. “The story’s done, young feller. I ain’t a fortune teller, so I cain't finish it.

SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY During our freshman and sophomore year many incidents happened which will not soon be forgotten by our merry group. In the year of 1923. thirty-live untrained and wild young mavericks assembled in the commercial room to he sorted out, hog-tied and halter-broken by the various teachers. Miss Clark proved to be well experienced on the subject and before we knew it we were all settled down, with the exception of Warren Phelan and Leonard Harlen. who, although they were given a ten-minute lecture on the subject of manners, etc., almost every day and night, gave the rest of the class the impression that they had been reared in the wilds of Africa. They also gave undoubted evidence to prove that the theory of Evolution is true. During the year, several of our members found the roads pretty rough and decided to remain as they were. One of our geniuses -Gyda Ronne -left us to live in Oregon, and wo sadly missed her cheerful smile. The first celebration in the history of our class was the class picnic. Mr. Huston Smith and Mr. Vernon Sanders, as usual, were the star performers and as a roaring bonfire cast long, spooky shadows over the merry group, we huddled closer together and listened to Willis Fredlund and the others singing. Maybe you think we didn’t experience some real thrills! While crossing the creek on the way home. Miss Clark became so interested in the reflection of the beautiful scenery therein, that she lost her balance, and Mr. Smith was obliged to act as hero. Who can ever forget the happy days we spent in room 24? Mr. Smith was ever ready to laugh with us even though Greta Sands did make some discouraging remarks, and Johnny Cronk always took the wrong meaning to intelligent statements. Marjorie Miller and Letha Run van would spent the majority of the recitation period in a whis-rered conversation concerning anything but General Science. I don’t think that Greta Sands and Anna Maney iave been seen chewing gum since the time that Mr. Smith made them write “I will not chew gum two thousand times. That was really hard work. In English the Merchant of Venice and Julius Caesar” were thoroughly enjoyed, especially when Evelyn Campbell and Henry Lehfeldt acted as husband and wife. Although none of the Freshmen took part in the activities of “Sneak Day. it was an interesting part of our history to see the poor Seniors punished. Some of the Juniors and Sophomores thought they were as big as the Seniors, and—well, they got theirs, too. We were sorry to lose Laura Phares from our midst. Because of sickness she was forced to remain at home, and so the Eighth Grade added her to their homogeneous? list. During the year the Freshmen decided to have a party. After much discussion a Hard Time party was decided upon. We reached this decision because Marjorie Miller didn’t have a dress to wear. Merrill Smith enjoyed playing Heavy, heavy hangs over thy head.” because he could take Miss Bancroft for a walk. Huston Smith didn't want to play anything else, thinking he might get another chance to make love to Miss Clark. Before we ended our celebration. a few Seniors invaded our area and kidnaped a few of our members. The Latin I and 11 class gave a picnic at Paradise Dam. Miss Anderson proved to be very much afraid of snakes, while Miss Northup was mistaken for one of Mack Sennett’s bathing beauties. The lunch consisted of weiners. buns. cake. pop. coffee and pickles. The C” Club carnival was a red letter event mainly because of the howling success it proved to be. We were well represented in the Queen contest by Letha Runyan. and Warren Phelan made an expert f -eak. The Freshman girls’ Japanese Tea Room was a noticeable feature of the program. Another picnic brightened the daily routine of our monotonous spring days. How hard it was to keep our minds on school work when the birds and other mysterious voices of Nature were calling to us! I’m afraid there were too many cases of spring fever those first few wonderful days. Our picnic was a grand success and the fact that Huston Smith and Miss Clark were roped and tied to a tree together afforded much amusement for the others. A grand lunch was served and coffee was boiled over a leaping bonfire. I ater a few boys and girls left for town, owing to the fact that they had dates pending. The time went by so fast that soon the storm of semester exams hung threateningly over our heads. The very thought made us shudder, and some of us. indeed, were lost in the whirlwind to find ourselves behind t ur classmates. Nevertheless, we greatly icjoiced because of the vacation which was to follow. We left our friends sorrowfully making many promises to return after a tl ree-month period, a joy and contentment that of not having to study. After a few heart-breaking experiences, lots of fun and a little sorrow the old gang assembled in room 21 this time under the auspices of Vernon Sanders. A few more mavericks were added to the list among whom were Mary Fast. I aPriel Williams. Harold Peterson and a few others. Some of our old classmates sought other fields— among these was Ruth Carley. Mr. Sanders proved to be a very efficient boss, and Mr. Peterson, who took Merrill Smith’s place, was a good sport, too. Miss Soule took the place of Miss Clark, and I am sure that those who took Commercial subjects enjoyed them very much. Although Florence and Evelyn Campbell spent the first half of the period comparing and reading bills , drafts , or what we more commonly called notes” from Wallner Bros.. Inc.. 1 am sure that they learned as much of bookkeeping as did any of us. Evelyn always became excited when it came time to open another envelope, because she wanted to see what was in it and each time would exclaim. “Oh. gee. this is just like Christmas. The first half of the semester a few of our gay classmates left us. among whom were Perry Cowan. Mary Pyette and Harold Gro-ven. Our class seems to be diminishing gradually, but we’ve got the same old spirit and pep which makes our class the best one in school. We can all agree that the success of obtaining the gym was the most important event. The shirt-tail parade was indeed picturesque and one in which the Sophomores took active part. After Christmas vacation, the Sophomores 12 decided to have a class party. As only half of the class was present, the occasion warf not so successful. In public speaking, both years, the Sophomores were well represented by Donald Blackstone. future president of the U. S.. Leonard Darien and Greta Sands. In basketball. Greta and Anna Manoy were surely “go-getters. I aPriel Williams certainly let the other side know she was present, and this was also true of Florence Campbell. Some say she was quiet and bashful, but put In ' it there as guard and then watch her The Sophomores entertained the Harlem football boys at the school house by giving them a feed and a dance afterward. In Biology many hair-raising debates and arguments were held. One could surely develop his talent for argument in that class. A field trip was taken around the first part of the year, which was a very pleasant and piofitable experience, although some were more interested in choke-cherries and birds’ nests than bugs. etc. On the whole the Sophomore class of 1925 is a jolly, peppy and intelligent class full of high minded youths who are looking for big things in this life and will not give up until they have succeeded. -------CHS.------- FUNNY, FRISKY FRESHIES In the fall of 1922 a bevy of excited and proud classmates trooped from the old grade building to the beckoning doors of the Junior High. This was our first year in High School and we planned to make it an eventful one. Miss Goodrie, a jolly sport, was our roll call teacher. It was under her supervision that all our parties and picnics were huge successes. Mr. Budewitz is fresh in the memory of all the class—he was our witty mathematics teacher. When we proved ♦. impossible, he stopped the monotony of the class by a story or one of his witty remark , which brought us all back into good humor again. In this year many classmates w. re added to the ever increasing roll of a noble class. Yes. we were wild and woolly. It was new to us but in the course of the year’s time we managed to get tamed down and he come more sophisticated. The eighth grade was more difficult than the seventh, nevertheless all of us managed to pass except one. This showed what wise birds we were. Mrs. Williams was ou� roll call, history and civics teacher. M ss An dcrson taught English and Mr. Budevitz mathematics and science. Miss Bancroft instructed the girls in sewing and Mr. Smith who had charge of manual training, taught the boys many things about carpentering. At our class parties we usually enjoyed ourselves. but some still persisted in staying at home as they had done the previous year. So the year passed and now you find us the funny, frisky freshies. The best cl ss in high school. Our home room teacher (g Miss Soule, and she surely is a good one. Our esteemed Algebra teachers. Mr. Sanders and Mr. Peterson, each teach half of our class. Miss M Nall is succeeding in making good housekeepers out of the girls, and was THE CHINOOK BREEZE also willing to teach boys to cook and sew if they were willing to learn. Miss Anderson. our English teacher. Miss Northup our standby in Latin. and Mr. Julian In Civics. Mr. Julian is all right—it’s the subject he teaches that gets us.” Tho we were dubbed green by all other classes, we held our own in all school affairs. Four of our men. Crawford. Glenn Harbolt, Harold Barber and Ernest Wallner. on the first football squad, and three on the basket ball team. Neither were the girls slouches in this sport. The “C” club and High School Glee Club were also honored with representatives of the Freshman Class. We succeeded too in launching Mildred Williams in the Dramatic Club. The Freshman is known the school over as being a peppy class and noted for the good times. We started out by having an old-time hard time” party. Many characters were represented and the affair came off with a bang.” Everyone had a wonderful time. Noble Class officers were elected to handle class affairs. Harold Barber as our president. Ernest Wallner our vice president and Orpliu Gesell our secretary and treasurer. We.chose orange and white as our class colors and we challenged all other classes to defy them. To conclude this we would like to state that we are not os green as many people suppose. If anyone dares to say this is not true, he may come around to see us some night after school. But he had better make his will, before leaving home, in case something might happen. ------c.h.s.------- Of what use is iron in the human body? Makes It rust, of course. May. 1925 THE FACULTY (Continued from page six) Mrs. Williams, who teaches History and Civics, is one of the most loved teachers we have had. What wouldn’t we give to be able to recite History as she does! She was born in Ohio, where she lived until 1894. After graduating from Oberlin College, in Ohio, she took tip teaching and came West ouite a number of years ago. She has been teaching in Chinook schools for many years and the hard work and untiring efforts she I ut forth will surely bring her great reward some day. She is loads or fun. too. and will always be remembered by the numbers of pupils she has brought through the trials of history. Mr. Zimmerman. Junior High School Mathematics and Science teacher, is from Minnesota, but Is not Swede. There are others besides the Sw'edes that come from there, you know. He was born at Bertha. Minnesota. Later his folks went to Helena, where he graduated from high school. He attended College at St. Cloud, graduating from there in 1922. His first two years of teaching were spent at Fergus Falls and in 1924. he decided to try the west so came here, where he became quite popular. His spare time is spent is good company, we know—so what’s the difference? Now that you have a little insight into their lives and characteristics, can you blame us for boasting of our faculty? They certainly are fine and it is our hope that C. 11. S. will always be able to secure teachers that measure up to the standard of ours this year. -------c. h ,s.--- Mr. Julian — about to address the high school: “Before I begin to speak I would like to say a few words.

May. 1925 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 13 EIGHTH GRADE HISTORY In the spring of 1923 when we received oar promotion certificates we felt pretty grown up because we were seventh graders and in Junior High Schoc . We had a glorious vacation and were glad to get back to school again in the fall. When the last bell rang, a buzz ot excited end nervous graders rushed pell-mell into Miss Anderson’s room for roll call. Ail went well until the buzzer rang then how we jumped! Miss Anderson taught us English. Poor Miss Anderson! How she did have to criticize us. for we were not advanced in the ways of English. Mr. Bade wit z steered us safely through the intricacies of mathematics. Miss Bancroft taught drawing. It seemed that confusion always reigned in drawing class. Most of us had a study period after dinner, which we used for a rest period instead of study. We always had a good time after four o’clock with Miss Anderson. for the hours we spent with her at that time were many. The first social affair we held that year was a picnic. We invited the eighth grade, but our regrets and sorrows were many when supper time came. The picnic was held a mile and a half south of town, in a beautiful cottonwood grove, beside the river. It was quite dark when we at last returned nome—much to the delight of certain ones there. We later learned from Mr. Juliun and Mr. Budewitz that we were very disorderly at the picnic. We elected Ingwald Fredlund president of our class, and Lucille O'Brien secretary and treasurer. The rest of the year was rather dull except for the two class parties, each one being a “howling” success. At the last party Mrs. Williams gave us information as to how a Virginia Reel is accomplished. The old gang” sure rushed out of the school house when vacation time came. But when vacation time was over we were all glad to rush back, as the “peppy eighth graders of ’24. We began the year right by electing Arthur Lehfeldt president and Laura McKinnie secretary and treasurer. We also organized � � . “Good Citizenship Club” of which Stanley Trcchta was president and Betty Hoover vice-president. Our club improved our behavior and now we are real citizens. We had the same teachers as the year before with the exception of Mr. Zimmerman. who took Mr. Budewjtz's place, and Miss McNall. who took Miss Bancroft's place. Our social activities were a complete success this year. We held two parties, the 1 tter party being held on St. Patrick’s day. We awarded first prize for best costume to Ingwald Fredlund and second prize to Mrs. Williams, who dressed as a. (plaint, old-fashioned lady in a dress dating back to the time before the Civil War. It was whispered that Donald Morrison did not enjoy himself because he was too busy watching charming Miss McKinnie. Stanley Trachta and Betty Hoover were said to have had a good time. Our picnic was indeed a picnic, for all that it was held at the south end of the gravel pit. Our athletics have improved this year, for we won a degree of fame by defeating the unconquerable Sophomores. Unfortunately we were beaten by Harlem, and razzed by the school till we know it won’t happen again. School is nearly over now. and next year we are going to be full-fledged Freshmen. We may be green and we may be laughed at, but just watch our dust! -------C.H.8.----- SEVENTH GRADE HISTORY Onct upon a time their were a awful big class, and they come from the sixth grade. Well, that seventh grade class were a good one; they were almost, first in everything. When we came to school the first, day we don't no what to do. so we gets a seat and wonders what were cornin’ next. Their were one teacher’s get up and said what we seventh graders was expected to do. The teacher give us a lesson for the next day. After we got ust to that we felt quite at home hear. After we had school for about a week they started to practice foot ball. Now over In the grade building they practiced all the time and they says they thought they’ll play a game against us and the green eighth graders they gets right to work and showed ’em how to play and wallerped ’em good and hard. The things rowled along until basket ball season came and Mr. Zimmer-ment he start us kids playing ball. We play Harlem and Havre and gets skinned ter pieces. Them partys was shore dandy wuns. MIsses Andersen. Missus Wilyums. Misster Zimmerment and Misster Smith were their. First we played a game and then we got the eats. Hot dog. but them eats was dandy. When the seenyers. junyers. sofmores and freshmans gives parties they ain’t know good and when we gives ’em they was the best ever, the teecher says so to. When we elekted ophisers we feel more brfsnez like and gets down to buisnez. Holey Reser he was president and Agnes Olson she was secretare and treasure. And Isabell Grifin she waz our representative in the stewdent consel. When we had our clazz picnics we elekted some cumitteH. Holey Reser he thought he was gonna have a awfull time to make us kids pay atenshun and Miss Andersun she got awful mad and sumtymes she just ups and changes them good grades of ourn to most nothin. Our English teacher had us kids write a play. The name of it was legent of sleep; hoi loo. We acted out the play to it and it sur was a sucksess of course anything wo seventh graderrs done is a sucksess. Billie dook was the rip roorinest kid I ever seer. I think the teacher ought to up and wallop him good and plenty. We sur are good at writin theames and we ain’t running outa material either like some other clazzes. Mr. Zimmerment had us writ theames in sivic sints being we rote such good ones. When we gits up in the big clazzes we ain't gonna sit around like them seenyers. were gonna git hi grades and worrk like a pak a bees. The seventh graders sur is a grate bunch. Fenerl Redecop he wouldn’t learn nothing and he up and says hes gonna quite school if we have the same mess o' teechers. On count of us being such good skolers espeshly witin theames we expects to be seenyers some day and granulate and next year we will be eighth graderrs and we ain’t gonna be a dum c’-izz eether. Well, so long, see you next yeer maibee. ------c.h.s.-------- Alberts.: Say. Bill! Bill M.: What? Albert: You know that cow y ’d me you’d sell the other day for $10.0 Bill: Yep. Albert: I’ll buy her.

I dearly love a young man who runs a picture show machine. Would it be proper for me to be with him and watch him while he is at work? He works every night. WORRIED. Yes. if you do not detain him from his work. I think it all right to “watch him. Put couldn’t you do something else part of the time? Is it necessary to visit him every night? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a Junior and want to know if it would be all right if I asked a teacher to go with me to a show or dance occasionally. I have red hair. —GEO. CARTER. No. I don’t think you should step out with a teacher. She might have a tendency towards giving you unearned grades. Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 am in love with a Senior girl and a grade teacher. Both are very nice but thru experience I find I cannot have both at the same time. What shall I do? -AMATEUR. You are entirely too young to think of love, but if you feel you must, have a girl then take the Senior, because a teacher is apt to lead you her way—maybe financially. Dear Miss Fairfax: I love and have been going with a Junior boy. but find he has of late been taking out other girls, altho he takes me once in a while. —NEWCOMER. If a boy did that to me I would talk to him and try to discover his reason for so coing. Maybe he is just kidding you. My Dear Miss Fairfax: The past year I have been going with another member of the Faculty in fact. I spend considerable time with him. Do you think this is all right? —BLUE EYES. The more you put into a thing the more you get out of it. Therefore either teach school or move over to this man's house. You can’t do both at once. Dear Miss Fairfax: My mother sort of objects to my traveling with girls. What can I do so I can be with the rest of the gang? I am a Senior and am getting uneasy because the girls are going fast. —EXCITED. Get well acquainted with some nice girl and ask her over to your house for tea. Act the part of a trustworthy and gallant gentleman and I'm sure you’ll have no trouble thereafter. Oh. My Dear Miss Fairfax: Everytime I take a girl out she turns oat to be a blonde. I am a blonde myself. They say opposites attract. I am tall and skinny. Why don’t I fall for some black-haired short little dumpling. —GROWING BOLD. You are too old to be bothering about the girls at all. Why don’t you get yourself a good book and settle down for the evening? Miss Fairfax: I am getting up in years— can't dance and don't go out much. How can I get ahead more in social lines? Maybe some day I might want a partner and I’ll never find one unless I start soon. —ANSWER QUICK. If you never went out with girls and are “up in years you are out of luck. The first puppy love is the fundamental to all marriages. Maybe you can pick up an old maid or some anxious-to-marry girl. ------c.h s.------ Davy had a pony He couldn't make It go.

Ernest Waliner. 16 THE YEAR’S ATHLETICS The first night after school began. Sept. 2nd. found the football team hard at work even though it was very warm. The veterans left from other years were Captain Cole, Brooks. Sands, Ramberg, Howe and Cowan. The other players who came out were H. Peterson, Crawford, Harbolt. Kasbey, Achen. Montgomery, D. Butcher, Hollenberger, Barber. Henson, Noyes. L. Butcher, Wallner, L. Peterson. Lehfeldt. The first game of the season was with Big Sandy, at that place. They had a large, heavy team but ours was too speedy for them and won 20-0. However, many weak points were discovered in our manner of playing. In the first home game with Harlem the next week, which was won 30-7. the team showed much improvement. On the following week Fort Benton came here only to be completely overwhelmed—63-6. The team showed the best offensive of the season in this game and hopes for district championship ran high. The team met their first defeat the following week when Havre came down and won 40-19. Our boys were unable to stop their line bucks in the first half. Our team outplayed them In the second half, but the rally came too late. However, the boys were confident they could win the return game. The teams were evenly matched but there were several breaks In Havre’s favor in the first half with the result that we lost the second Havre game 22-12. The season was completed by going to Harlem. After a hard and heart-breaking battle we lost 13-12. The game was so close that the outcome was in doubt up till the time the final whistle blew. There was to have been a game with Big Sandy the following week, but it was called off because of snow. On the whole the football season of ’24 was successful, as Chinook was promoted to Class A and the last two games were lost by the breaks in luck going to the other side. The team made a name for itself because of its speed and fight and Captain Cole was given honorable mention for the all state team. Shortly after the close of the football season. basketball started and about twenty-five aspiring candidates turned out for Coach Sanders, from which the squad was cut to ten. Those who took part in the games were: Cole. Crawford. Brooks. Wallner, Achen, Barber. Easbey. Hollenberger. L. Peterson and Murphy. After a beating at the hands of the alumni. 7-3. the Chinook quintet met Big Sandy, winning an easy victory 26-9. The Dodson game which followed was one of the most unusual ever seen here. The first half ended without a score, due to close guarding, and when the final whistle blew the boys had lost by one point. Dodson winning 2-1. On the 23rd of January, the team went on a trip, repeating their victory at Big Sandy 23-11. The next night they lost a close game to Havre. 12-5. in a rough, hard-fought contest. The following week Shelby came here. The boys could not get started in this game although in the final quarter they outplayed Shelby by far; they lost 17-10. The Centerville game took two extra periods to decide. Chinook kept the lead most of the game, but Centerville won in the second extra period 13-11. It proved to be the most exciting game of the season. The same week the team went down to play our ancient rival. Harlem. Their fast team, later to be district champions, clearly outplayed our boys and won 23-7. In the return game the following week the team kept on even terms with them in the first half but blew up in the second with the result that Harlem won 22-4. On February 17 the team went to the district tournament. Due partly to the fact that four men were semi-invalids, and partly to the fact that they drew an exceptionally hard schedule, both games were lost. The team met Great Falls first and after giving the Falls a hard run in the first half they lost 22-8. loosing to the Falls placed Cho-teau next on the schedule. Although the boys put up a hard fight. Choteau’s rangy team, one of the best in the district, came out on the long end of a 27-13 score. Havre came here the next week but owing partly to the fact that three regulars could not play because of flu. Havre won 14-2. The Junior High had a team coached by Mr. Zimmerman which lost two games to Havre, and won one and lost ohe from Harlem. There were also inter-class games for those who did not make the squad, among which the Junior-Senior team won the championship. Much credit is due to our very efficient and much beloved coach. Vernon Sanders, for our showing in both football and basketball. Both football and basketball prospects for next year are much brighter than they were for this year because this year the teams consisted of nearly all new and inexperienced men whereas next year the lineups will be practically the same. For huHKct.mll there will also be a new gymnasium where five nights a week can be spent instead of three, which was such a handicap this year to say nothing ot the disadvantage of playing with a low ceiling as we have been compelled to do in the past. Although track work has not yet been started. Chinook’s prospects look very bright, especially in the sprints, at this date of writing. The track team will first meet Havre and Harlem in a triangular meet at Chinook and will then compete for the district championship. Hopes are high at present of winning both of these meets. The purpose of these athletic contests is not so much the winning of a prize, or a desire for victory as to expand our lungs to their full capacity and stretch our muscles. Health is the vital principle of life and we play for health so that win or lose each must feel it a personal victory if he has done his utmost to attain this desired end. -------c h s.------ The Toolish Dictionary Veranda—An open enclosure often used as a spoon-holder.

Grota Sands, Esther Anderson (Coach), Loretta Kuhr, Florence Campbell, Kathleen Cooper. May, 1925 THE LETTER GIRLS Just one minute left! Already thq score has been tied twice. The breathless coach clenched her lists, and swayed forward with encouragement to a nearby girl. Calmly and unconcerned the time keeper placed the whistle to his lips and counted the seconds. It was a tie ball right under the enemies’ goal. With all the strength left in her, our guard knocked the ball into the waiting hands of our center. With only a moment’s hesitation she dribbled once and threw the ball into the hands of our best forward who had stationed herself almost directly under the basket. A shout of cheer rose from the crowd. Carefully she aimed for the basket. The ball whirled daringly several times around the loop. With the frantic crowd almost in the middle of the floor, the ball fell through the net. and the final whistle blew. It was just such games as this that our girls fought to gain new laurels for C. H. S. Every girl put her whole heart and soul into the light. Each victory meant points toward gaining a letter, signifying her worth of wearing the colors of our school. What girl doesn’t show her letter with the greatest of pride? It is an honor gained only by hard work and clean and skillful playing. The girls played twenty-eight quarters in all. Those who played fourteen or more quarters were awarded a letter April 15th. before the high school assembly. Loretta Kuhr. Greta Sands and Anna Dowen proudly wear their letters with twenty-eight quarters to their credit. Anna Maney exhibits hers to the tune of twenty-one quarters. We see Florence Campbell demonstrating hers and telling of the seventeen quarters she stacked for herself. Kathleen Cooper, small but sweet, wears a letter with fifteen well-fought quarters to her name. Juanita Harbolt, a veteran in basketball, although she played only five quarters this year was awarded a letter because she was prevented from taking part in the other games due to an injury received at Big Sandy, the first game of the season. Only the girls that have earned the letters are entitled to wear them and thus it is with the greatest pride that they bear the colors of dear old C. H. S. given them for irood service in basketball. ------c.h.s.----- BASKET BALL “BUZZETS” So you have heard about the bluffin’, battlin’ five too. huh? O. I'll say there’s nothing slow about the girls’ basket ball team. Now if you will sit down a minute and let me talk. I'll tell you all about them. Let’s see—practice began Dec. 5 and they were pretty much surprised at the number of girls who turned out. There were twenty, one “score at the beginning. Isn’t it strange how scores can turn out? After several weeks of practice the first team was chosen. Miss Anderson as coach showed a great deal of interest in the girls. She scheduled inter-class games as a means of practice, and giving her help in choosing her first team. The Jolly Jazzy Juniors put one over and blossomed forth with the laurel wreath. THE CHINOOK BREEZE There was great excitement at school on January 23. This was a red letter” day for the girls’ basket ball team. They were to accompany the boys to Big Sandy. Never before had the Chinook girls played any other team besides our old rivals. Havre and Harlem. Arriving in Big Sandy about three o’clock Friday, January 23, the teams were met at the train by most of Sandy’s high school. The credit has been given the girls as the main attraction—?? With the thrill of a first game the heroic five took their places on the floor with Juanita Harbolt and Anna Maney as forwards. Greta Sands and “Tootie Kuhr as guards, and Anna Dowen as center. What a game! The spectators wondered if the Chinook girls were using the floor as a skating rink instead of a basket ball floor. Disappointed and tearful were the C. H. S. girls when they left the floor with a score of 15 to S in favor of Big Sandy. But due to our hosts’ wonderful spirit of entertaining they soon forgot their defeat and retained only a pleasant memory of the trip. We left Sandy the next noon. Our destination—Havre; our aim—“VICTORY. That afternoon was spent in resting and preparing for the evening game. Notwithstanding the dirty middies and bruises of the night before, we met our rivals with a grim determination. With the excitement at highest pitch the first quarter ended. The score stood thirteen to one in favor of the Orange and Black. The second quarter began with the same line-up. Our speedy Anna Dowen held the honor of center. Anna Maney and Kathleen Cooper as forwards kept Havre’s guards on the jump. Thanks to Greta Sands and Tootie Kuhr. Havre’s forwards were unable to make much progress. When the whistle blew ending the first half, the score stood 17 to 17 and the excitement was at fever heat.” With Juanita Harbolt substituting for Anna Maney the undaunted team finished the second half with a score of 27 to IS in favor of Chinook. 1 tell you. partner, those girls earned every bit of the praise they received. Not one laid down on the job. Two weeks elapsed before the Dodson girls played at Chinook That was another game long to be remembered. It was one of the cleanest and most sportsman-like games Chinook has ever witnessed. Our girls took the defeat of 21 to 14 with a right good will. February 6 found the teams on the way to Harlem. This game was rather slow and Chinook ended the battle with a score of 20 to 17 in its favor. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the feed and dance given by the Home Economics department of Harlem. The next week. February 14th. Harlem played the return game at Chinook. This game has been criticized because of the rough and unsportsmanlike playing of both sides. It was just a “rough and tumble all the way thru. Only time can heal the bruises. Sad but true, the final whistle blew with a score of 9 to 10 in Harlem’s favor. Our girls, however, stood true to their colors and entertained the visitors with a feed and party at the school house. A proud and happy bunch of girls left Chinook February 20. their destination Dodson. The battle was one-sided and Dodson took the crown of victory with a score of 32 to 17. The tragedy of defeat was soon banished when Dodson, with true courtesy, won our everlasting friendship. (Funny how much courtesy means when one is away from home bearing the broken sword of defeat). Our oldest and greatest rival. Havre, played on the Chinook floor February 27. Havre was determined to win. but not more so than Chinook. Practice made a noticeable difference in both teams. All during the game the struggle was keen, but the balancing point was tipped in Chinook'3 (Continued on page eighteen) IS THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1925 THE C. H. S. “C” CLUB The “C Club of Chinook High School made its debut in the fall of 1923. The (tub was organized by Coach Vernon Sanders and M. Sands, W. Ross, L. Cole. A. Rasmussen. R. Cronk, W. Ram berg. W. Maney, p. Murphy. R. Ronne, H. Howe. F. Fredlund. V Fredlund. R. Snedecor, J. Brooks, and G. Willman, who were the first men to receive Chinook letters and were the original members of the organization. To become a member of the “C” Club one must win a letter in one of the three major sports and take the pledge, which is as follows: As a member of the C. II. S. and a wearer of its letter I will do my best to stand for my school against all others. To strive in every way to make my school mean more to the community and to myself. To never by word or act do anything that would in any way mar the good name of my school.” The basket ball season of 1923-24 ended with more liabilities than assets, so the “C” Club staged a Carnival to help pay the debt. The carnival was a real success, consisting of every kind of amusement from dancing to baseball pitching. The Hall of Horrors, and the freak menagerie, were the big hits of the night. In the spring of 1924 the “C” Club found it had $2.00 in the bank, so a picnic was held down where Milk River flows. The I icnic was a complete success, especially the lunch, which consisted of wienies, marshmallows and coffee served in a rusty syrup pail. This fall six new members were taken into the “C Club—Glenn Harbolt. Francis Easbey. Earnest Wallner. Henry Hollenbor-ger. Harold Barber, and Eldon Crawford, who won their letters in football. They were duly initiated into the Club one winter’s day. The candidates hauled the old members up Main street in a chariot. Then they rendered some more or less musical solos, after which they were christened with a ouart of non-alcoholic beverage concocted in the laboratory by Coach Sanders and consisting of everything from HC1 to red litmus. After being spanked with a good hard broom they were declared members. Although the club is yet young it has done credit to the school. It has elected yell leaders. student managers, boosted athletics and raised money for the student activity fend. Above all it has set a higher standard for school spirit. The club will no doubt in the future stand at the head of its class. We can but hope that it will retain the high standards of sportsmanship and fellowship set by Coach Sanders, its first sponsor. ------------------c. h s.--- THE SKULL AND BONES CLUB The Skull and Bones Club was organized during the last semester of last year as a Science Club, with M. H. Smith as sponsor. Clyde Butler was elected president or Skull, and Madeline Arnold secretary-treasurer at the first meeting of the Club as a club. Soon after the Club was organized, a commute of Tess Lehfeldt. Francis Fredlund and Clare Eve.v were appointed as an invitation committee. And as for the initiation: Bor nice Wolary, Elizabeth McCoy and Angel McCarthy fainted and Angel had to be carried home on a stretcher. At this initiation the following were initiated as “Bones”: Elizabeth M . oy, Vernon Fredlund. Kathleen Redikop. Harriet Grass. Anna Montgomery. Marie Hirter. Della Emerson. Clyde Butler. Milo Sands. Kathleen Gibbs. Goldie Bloomer. David Cline, Florence Gibbs. Lucille Stineburg. Daisy Acher, Donald Snedecor. Bert Murphy. Angel McCarthy. Bernice Wolary. Louis J. Hensen. Madeline Arnold. Jesse Brooks. Donald Montgomery, Raymond Melius. However, when Mr. Peterson called the Club together this year, only eight members responded. At the first meeting. Donald Montgomery was elected Skull. Goldie Bloomer Assistant Skull, and Milo Sands secretary-treasurer. Soon after we reorganized new members we e solicited and on January 17 of this year eight pale, shivering applicants ap-r arel for the initiation. Many shrieks, groans, and pleas were heard coming from the library, that evening, and it took some reve rl days to recover from the effects of it. This gave us a total membership of seventeen Bones. At a meeting soon after this it was decided that each science class beginning with the Biology Class would have charge of one meeting during the rest of the year. What we haven’t done already Isn’t worth mentioning and several discoveries have been made. The meetings have been made very interesting as well as educational and we are planning many good times in the near future in the social line as well as in the educational line. The B’ologv Class program was a h � re success and wo are eagerly looking forward to the Chemistry Class meeting. --------C H S.---- DRAMATIC CLUB Jrmesti ctmn h° ? proven that there is. hPVc in old C. H. S.. a talent along most p™ line vou may choose to mention, and with a little patient coaching and encouragement the most desirable results are obtained. This -ear Miss Northup took up the task of “constructing” a dramatic club and her work has not been in vain. When first asked to min the Club, shy little Freshmen. Sorhomores and even Juniors would look frightened and exclaim: Why, I never did anything like that in my life!” And Miss Northup would smilingly answer. That’j just the reason you should enter the try outs.” It was not long before several students were interested in dramatics. Parts in one-act plays were given out and everyone faithfully rehearsed for the try-outs. V ith Mr. John Griffin. Mrs. Boorman and Mrs. L. Ilensen acting as judges, the following students were qualified as permanent members of the Club: Dcnald Montgomery. Juanita Harbolt. William McGregor. Evelyn McKinnie. Martha Alexander, Greta Sands. Vera Murphy. Anna Maney. Evelyn Campbell. Frances Boyle. Edward Kuhr. Mildred Williams. Verda Row- ley, Francis Easbey. Warren Phelan. Donald Blacksbone. Earl Murphy. The first meeting of the members was held March 3. at which time Frances Boyle was elected president. Vera Murphy secretary-treasurer. and Evelyn McKinnie librarian. Regular meetings were held every Tuesday evening thereafter. A program was arranged for April 18th, and was held at Griffin’s hail. The one-act plays presented at that time were: The Pot Boilers” starring Francis Easbey. Evelyn McKinnie, Earl Murphy, Donald Blackstone, Vera Murphy. Donald Montgomery. and Edward Kuhr. He Said and She Said with Francis Easbey. Greta Sands. Verda Rowley, and Martha Alexander successfully portraying the various characters: and the third play entitled Glory of the Morning” was acted by Frances Boyle, Edward Kuhr. Evelyn Campbell.

Vera Murphy, Helen Montgomery. Robert Julian (Sponsor). Elsie Maelrt. Donald Montgomery. Greta Sands. Eldon Crawford, Goldie Bloomer, Norma Gesell. Dorothy Kenyon. Isabelle Griffin. THE STUDENT COUNCIL SPEAKS We, as representatives of the various classes, were elected last October 1, for the purpose of promoting all school activities. Our special powers are to approve of all club constitutions, to see that the members live up to their constitutions, to see that one organization does not interfere with a more important one, and to decide all questions pertaining to the activities of the school. We are here to take tlie lead in any matter that concerns the school as a w’hole. During the school term we have had regular meetings on the first and third Wednesdays of every month. At these meetings reports were given by standing committees, on the various clubs and organizations of the school. We also required a report from the treasurer of the Student Activity fund, and in this way we knew just how much and for v. hat purpose the activity fund was being used. In order that we might be a true and strong organization, a constitution was drawn up which was approved by a majority vote of the members in each of two-thirds of the home rooms of Chinook High School. I) ’ring the first semester Helen Montgomery held the office of chairman. Norma Gesell secretary, and Donald Montgomery sergeant-at arms. During the second semester. Vera Murphy was our chairman, Norma Gesell secretary, and Goldie Bloomer sergeant-at-arms. Our first meeting was held October 15. at vhich time we discussed ways and means of advertising for a new gym. A shirt tail” parade was decided upon and our detailed arrangements were carried out the following night. Every loyal member of the high school robed himself in a costume, marched behind the high school band, and joined in the yells and songs. Five large banners were carried, and stump speeches given. Our next work was to appoint a committee to awaken interest in a debating club and Glee Club. Members were solicited and the organizations became active. Later in the year we discussed the publication of an annual. A committee was an-rolnted to collect all the information possible in regard to the cost and possibility of s-’ h a nublication. We then put the matter no to the Senior Class and they decided to take the responsibility of putting out an annual for old C. H. S. -------c m 8.----- TT e student voice It had always been the desire of C. H. S. to have some sort of a school paper. In 1918 there was an attempt to put out a paper quarterly but the idea was dropped and nothing was done the next year. During 1922-28 the Commercial girls, with the help of Miss Clark, put out the “Commercial World.” a paper devoted only to the Commercial department. About the middle of last year. Miss Clark suggested that the Commercial department put out a paper for the entire school rather than for the Commercial department only. A meeting of all Commercial students was called, her idea met with unanimous approval and a later meeting was set to elect officers, choose a name and get the paper started. At the next meeting The Student Voice” was selected from a list of names as the name for the paper. Aina Olson was elected Editor-in-Chief: Norma Gesell. Associate Editor; Juanita Harbolt. Business Manager; Marie Maeirt, Assistant Business Manager; Letha O'Neal. Literary Editor; Loretta Kt’hr. Athletic Editor: William McGregor. Joke Editor, and Madeline Arnold. Class Reporter. We decided that the paper should contain four pages, be issued every Monday ’oon by the Commercial department, and the price per issue should be one cent. Oh the hours of work that followed! Those stencils, how they did slip and how fast they dried! However, we finally got the first issue ready and on February 25. 1924 it was announced to the various home rooms that all who wanted a paper should bring their penny? At noon the Business Manager and Assistant Business Manager were stationed in the hall with their stacks rf priors and great numbers were sold. The lrter issues were as successful as the first. Later we found it desirable to take subscriptions rather than sell the papers individually each time. Subscribers were solicited and there was a great deal of competi-t'on among the classes in trying to get 100 uer cent subscription lists. The Juniors of last year headed the list. By the end of school last year, the Student Voice was an established fact. Much credit is due Miss Clark rar the effort she put forth in making this a success and the Commercial students certainly appreciated the work she did. When school opened last fall, we fen.id Miss Soule in charge of affairs and it didn't ti ke us long to get the paper started. Norn i Gesell was the new Editor-in-Chief. Juanita Harbolt, Assistant Editor; Marie Maeirt. Business Manager; Mudeline Arnold. Assistant Manager: Evelyn McKInnie, Literary Editor; Kenneth McKinnie, Athletic Editoi: William McGregor. Joke Editor, and Helen Montgomery. Class Reporter. Owing to defective stencils our first issue proved to be a pretty dim-looking affair, but we got everything straightened out all right and our second issue was fine, as well as all our issues since. To make the paper take better, we decided to put a drawing on the front page, and found it worked successfully. Later In the fall we had a contribution box placed in the hall in order to secure material for the paper from any students wishing to contribute. Material flowed in so rapidly that we found we could easily add another sheet to our paper, making six pages instead of four. Until the second semester, the work had ail been done by the Senior Commercial students. hut beginning the second semester, the Junior “Commercialites took over the task of collecting and arranging the material and as soon as Miss Soule taught them how to cut stencils, they took over the entire Job. relieving the Seniors of a good deal of work and responsibility. Later Peggy” Kuhr was added to the staff as cartoonist for the paper. Our paper has been progressing very nicely all year and the entire student body seem to be taking a greater interest in boosting the paper. It may not be very big, but it does its business in keeping the school doings before the eyes of the scholars. We hope that in future years the paper will keep on doing its good work and possibly be enlarged as the financial affairs of the school and the community are bettered. Boost your school paper! MEMORIES OF C. H. S. GLEE CLUB In the fall of 1921 Miss Jones and Mrs. Williams called a meeting of those students interested in music. The invitation was responded to by a number of girls and a Glee Club was organized, with the following officers and members: Goldie Bloomer, as president; Margaret Hewitt, secretary; the sixteen enrolled for the work were: Norma Gesell. Anna Cline. Frances Boyle. Alice Groven, Anna Dowen, Goldie Bloomer, Mario Maelrt. Kathleen Cooper. Jessie Ma-gruder, Margaret Hewitt. Lillian Miller, Janet Thibedeau, Florence Campbell. Lucille Stineberg. Evelyn Butcher, Viola Ho-feldt. Julia Bosshart and Kathleen Gibbs. After a few weeks of intensive practice, Mrs. Williams, our director, had us make our bow to the public. Frequent calls came to us and during our first year we sang for the Women’s Club. Junior Vaudeville, and for the Commencement exercises. To vary our programs we sometimes appeared in character costume. To round out our first year we held a picnic on the banks of West Fork. There were many outstanding events on this picnic: the eats, the fall in the river, the ‘‘wash out on the line” and last but not least was the presentation of a small gift or appreciation to our deserving director and pianist. At the beginning of the Glee Club’s second year the absence of our efficient pianist. Miss Jones, was noticed by all. After much skirmishing around a most competent and obliging accompanist, Mrs. Schnee, came to our rescue. Goldie Bloomer was re-elected president and Anna Cline was elected secretary. We numbered eighteen members. They were: Anna Cline. Norma Gesell, Frances Boyle. Kathleen Cooper. Alice Groven, Irene Crawford. Dorothy Kenyon. Vera Murphy. Gertrude Winters. Julia Bosshardt. Goldie Bloomer. Marie Maeirt, Evelyn Butcher, Anna Dowen, Lucille Slineburg. Jessie Ma-gruder and Kathleen Gibbs. The Club was sorry to lose Janet Thibedeau and Margaret Hewitt, Janet going to Heleria and Margaret to Harlem high school. The event of the year was the operetta, “The Ghosts of Hilo.” which required time and effort on the part of both members and director. The proceeds went to swell the Student Activity Fund. During the year the Glee Club sang at the Community Meetings, Methodist Church, District Dramatic Contest and for the Commencement Exercises. The fall of 1924 found the Glee Club once more ready for instruction. At the second meeting, Mrs. Williams broke the sad news to us that she would not be able to guide us through the coming year. Finally Miss Homan, a musician, competent in both vocal and piano, came to direct us. Our member roll contained the following names: Anna Cline. Frances Boyle. Ange-line Lawson, Anna Montgomery, Mildred Williams, Jessie Magruder, Verda Rowley, Phyllis Sheppard. Vera Murphy. Kathleen Cooper. Isabel Griffin. Vera Rasmussen. Clara Barber, Betty Hoover. Loretta Maney, Doris Brinkman. Evelyn Butcher, and Lucille Stineberg alumni were welcomed back. The Club was unfortunate in losing Goldie Bloomer, our former president. With Miss Homan as director and Kathleen Moore our accompanist, we began our work. On February 27. 1925. was given the Glee Club Concert, the proceeds going to the Student Activity Fund. After the concert the Club was discontinued for the remainder of the year. The Glee Club members are looking forward to next fall as the beginning of a more active year. ------c.h.s.------- John Richmond: Last night I made an awful mistake. Earl S.: That so? How come?

We realized the value of extemporaneous work, so for the first time we entered students in the extemporaneous speaking and writing contests. A preliminary speaking contest under the direction of Miss Anderson was held here on February 15th, to choose the two best speakers to go to the district contest at Havre. Those taking part in the program were: Daisy Acher. Goldie Bloomer. Vera Murphy. Leonard Harlen. Willis Fredlund. Jesse Brooks. Donald Blackstone and Greta Rands. From this group Vera Murphy and Donald Blackstone were chosen to represent us at Havre. At the district meet. Vera Murphy placed second and went to the State Contest at Bozeman. A preliminary writing contest was also held at the school house and the best essay was sent to Bozeman. Of our contestants. Vernon Fredlund placed first In high school and went to Bozeman as one of the picked nine contestants in the state. This year we again entered the contest. However, only a speaking contest was conducted this year. Try-outs were given In the various English classes, and a prelimin-prv was held at Griffin's hall. February 17. Those taking part this year were Goldie Bloomer. Donald Blackstone. Leonard Harlen, Loretta Maney. Francis Easbey, Juanita Harbolt. Vera Murphy and Greta Sands. Francis Easbey placed first. Donald Blackstone second and Vera Murphy third. Francis went to Great Falls to represent C. H. S. at the district meet, and placed third there. The contestants are given only a short time to prepare their talks and the success ot their speeches depends largely upon their ability to organize their thoughts and arrange their material in a limited amount of time. Much interest has been taken in these contests and it is hoped that this contest given annually in connection with the basketball tournament will become one of the biggest events of the school year. -------c.h.s.--- DECLAMATORY A notice saying that a meeting for all those interested in Declamation would be held in Room 24 at 4:00 o'clock, appeared on the bulletin board one day in April of Inst year. A goodly number of contestants turned out and soon they were being put into shape by Miss Northup and Mrs. Williams. A preliminary contest was held in the high school building in a short time with members of the faculty acting as judges. From the contestants the two best boys and the six best girls were chosen to speak in the finals. In the final contest Vera Murphy was chosen from the girls and Donald Blackstone from the boys, to represent the school in the district meet at Big Sandy. In the district meet we were not as fortunate as we had hoped to be. as we managed to bring home only one third place, won by Donald Blackstone. This year the chances in Declamation look very good. There are considerably more girls out for the contest than boys, but the boys make up in quality vcnat they lack in quantity. There is to be no final contest at the hall this year, but the final preliminaries will be held in the high school building. This has been decided upon because of the shortness of time until the district meet at Havre. The contestants have chosen their selections and are doing their best to get into shape so they can win in the district meet. Last year there was no definite goal for putting work into Declamatory, but this year the school is offering one-fourth credit as an honorary reward. This given anyone who comes out for Declamatory, not only the value of experience one receives, but a purpose to be attained. ------c.h s.----- CALENDAR Sept. 1.—Registration day. Sept. 2.

C’25: It gives me great pleasure to learn that our old High School is to publish an Annual, and the fact that it is being published reflects great credit on the Senior Class of this year, as it is an undertaking which necessitates a great deal of hard work, both mental and physical. It is something which I and most of my fellow-graduates would like to see put out every year, as nothing is of so much interest to a prospective, present, or old time student of u high school as its annual.

Alumni, and Students: After six months of college life one can readily draw striking contrasts between college and high school life. Dormitory life makes a deep Impression during the first few weeks. Privacy is to be had only during the hours of the morning twilight. During the rest of the day one hears melodious but stupefying college chants, or hotly contested arguments fill the smoke-saturated air with husky voices. To extinguish such hot argument the fire hose is often used. The rare periods in dormitory life known as “quiet hours” are usually celebrated by triumphant marches down the (Continued on page thirty) li ii a Self Service Store F. N. Williams, Prop.

Judging from the sound one would think the marchers wore hobnailed bathroom slippers in order that Uie memory of the occasion might be lasting, especially on the woodwork. But the most noticeable difference of all is the liberty one has to do or not to do his work. This atmosphere of freedom is so overwhelming to some of the men that on the final examination day they find that their scanty attendance has disqualified them to take the examination The result, of course, is disastrous to the freedom-loving student. A pupil in high school is generally warned by his instructor whether or not he is to have the honor of passing in his course, but in college the warning is kept secret until the grades are handed out at the close of the semester. Of course, then it is too late to make amends. One has either studied too diligently and received an “A” or he has misjudged the sympathy of the instructor and receives an “E”. So ends the college term. Sincerely. CLYDE R. BUTLER. Maddux. Mont.. March 31. 1925. Dear Senior Class: Spring is with us once more, bringing with it the graduation of another class.

We have learned that we aren’t through studying and having exams; that all the good-looking young men patients aren’t single: that we must always be very dignified; that bobbed hair must be allowed to grow long, to be conducive of such a state: that night duty has its thrills: and that a party without a man (desirable as they may be) can be a huge success.

THE AG CLUB This club originated in the fall of 1923. The members were Orville Watkins. Clarence Achen. Walter Gibbs. Fred Guertzgen. Roger Cronk. Garland Willman. Willis Fred-lund. Kenneth Ronne. Percival Watkins. Earl Murphy and Gustaf Vercruyssen. The constitution was drawn up by Walter Gibbs and Willis Fredlund. The officers for last year were Roger Cronk. president. Garland Willman. secretary-treasurer, and Willis Fredlund, chairman of the activities committee. The Ag Club started with lots of life. We were organized for a good purpose and intend to stay. The first activities were social affairs at which members gave educational reports. Outside speakers were also asked in at this time and many interesting talks were given. The Club is to help farmers and is advertized to that effect. A number of people have left corn and milk to be tested. This is of course lots of fun as well us lots of work. We decided to send three members to Bozeman on a stock judging team. This team was chosen in the following manner: Many livestock judging field trips were taken and the three boys receiving the highest scores on judging were selected. They were Kenneth Ronne. Walter Gibbs and Orville Watkins. While we did not bring borne the bacon we made a good showing.

All members of the Club attended with their fathers. Besides the fathers, the other guests were Senator Griffin. Mr. Gustafson. Mr. Willman. and Mr. Julian. Toasts were given by the members and responses by the guests and members of the Club. We next decided to organize a cow testing club. This was lots of work especially for Mr. Smith, for this club runs the year round and the care of it falls to Mr. Smith during the summer. Many of the dairy farmers entered. The purpose of the club is to cull out all boarder cows and build up a better dairying business in.this community. The last step in club work last year was the choosing and carrying out of a project relating to agriculture. Some projects that wore chosen were—hogs. corn, wheat, dairy cattle, and beans. Two thousand three hundred and thirty-seven dollars and forty-four cents were made by the projects alone. This goes to show that the club benefited the state to this amount of money by this one act. One cannot place an actual value on the club to this community. A short time after school opened in the fall of 1924, the Club was again at work and new officers were elected. Because of poor grades some could not hold office. The final election gave Henry Hollenberger the office of president. John Cronk vice president, and Edward Kuhr secretary and treasurer. The fall weather gave us a chance to take some interesting field trips. Mr. Skillen’s ranch was visited for the purpose of studying Belgian horses. A lesson in vaccination was carried out on the Hanson ranch, where the boys vaccinated a number of calves. Some time later, a trip was taken to the Everett farm, near Harlem. A great deal was explained to us here on the subject of chickens and chicken houses. We learned the method of culling and their method of chicken raising including the incubation problem. Our next trip was to the Montgomery ranch north of town, where we took a lesson in dehorning. Each boy had to dehorn at least one animal and the job proved interesting as the animal shook its head a great deal. We helped Mr. Gustafson weigh Mr. Muney's ton-litter of pigs and judged the hogs. Judging classes were held at the Bolts farm, where several good dairy cows were judged. Dairy cows were also judged at the Maney farm. On November 21 the annual Father and Son banquet was held. Nearly all those invited were there and several speeches were given. The domestic science girls served the lunch, which was donated by the Ag Club boys and Mr. Smith. Several unit courses were held In the agriculture building. These courses were given on several subjects. Mr. Harrington gave a talk on certified seed potatoes, and Mr. Oscar Tretsven gave a talk on dairy anlmuls. the construction of dairy burns and other dairy equipment. On February 1st. the stock judging team, composed of Edward Kuhr. Walter Gibbs and John Cronk. with Mr. Smith as coach, left for Bozeman. It was an interesting trip and the talks given in the Bozeman gym were educational. Many prominent men of Montana and other states gave the crowd of twelve hundred boys an idea of what they could take up as a vocation. Mr. Abbey took excellent care of all. The stock judging team placed third, thereby missing the trip to Portland. This is the highest the Chinook Ag team ever placed, against one hundred fifty-two teams, coming from all over the state. The Ag boys are looking forward to May 8th. On this date. Stunt Nite and Ag Day will take place. The boys will not attend school on that day but must arrange the shop exhibits for the day.

Mmmmm niiiiiiiiiiiii 8 g Cook with ELECTRICITY £ £ £ I i 3 The Montana Power Company May. 1925 TRACK The track season was opened May first with the triangular meet between Chinook. Havre and Harlem at Chinook. Havre nosed out the locals by one point by winning second in the last event, the javelin. The Havre team won because of its ability to gather in the seconds and thirds, as Chinook won nine firsts. The meet was featured by tlie work of Cole and Waliner. Cole won six firsts, one second and one third, while F. Wallner took the three dashes easily, despite the fact that Havre thought they had the edge In these events. Hollenberger did good work in the hurdles, getting second in the two events, although this is his first year at track. Leo Peterson ran the distance runs in good time and got second in the mile and third In the 440 and 880. The district meet, the second biggest meet in Montana, was won by Havre with Chinook a close second. Again Havre’s victory was due to its being able to put two good men in each event, while Chinook had to rely on a few point winners. Cole proved himself one of Chinook’s greatest athletes when he won five firsts and one second and carried off the individual cup. Wallner did splendid work in the dashes, tying second in the 220. and winning the century in the fast time of 10 3-5 seconds. Henry Hollenberger accounted for two seconds in the hurdles, and Leo Peterson got third in the mile. The weather was bad. so the only district record broken was the mile, which Green of Havre ran in five minutes three seconds. The district meet next year will be held at Big Sandy. -----C.H.8.------ A RESPECTABLE PENNY I’m nothing more nor less than a common ordinary, respectable copper penny direct from the mint. Sometimes I think I am useless because I am just a penny (or at least I call myself a penny because it seems so small to say one cent)—too small to buy anything, but let me tell you I’m the most popular piece of money ever carried. When I left Washington. D. C.. I did not ride in the same place you would have if you had been leaving there, but I rode on a nice soft powder puff in a lady's handbag f had a good time bouncing up and down on ft; it was so nice and soft. But once or twice I thought I’d have to sneeze. When the train stopped at Havre the lady got off; she then went to a large store and bought a number of articles: when the time came to pay for them I was used as part of the payment. Now. you don’t realize how uncomfortable I was all the time I was in Havre: I stayed n the store all night, and the next day was given to a man. But it surely was unpleasant all the time I was there becaua? the people were so tight and hung onto me fill I was most ready to squeal. To my rn Pef I soon left that town and the next thin? 1 knew I was circulating around Chinook gnd to my enjoyment I never did get pinched as much as I did in Havre. I was in Chinook for some time and was THE CHINOOK BREEZE sorry when the day came to leave, for I had really enjoyed my visit. 1 am still thinking of the kind treatment ) received in Chinook and hoping never again to get into such a tight town as Havre. -------C.M.8.------ A THEME Another theme for tomorrow and what am 1 gonna write’.' I m simply out of topics tho I lie and think all night. I ask aid from the rest of the family, but aid is then in vain. So I sit down at the table, racking hard my poor old brain. 1 think of my cruel teacher to expect so much of me— Surely she knows I’m a dumb-bell and nothing else should be. I put down several topics, but nothing that 1 like. So 1 wander to the kitchen to get myself a bite. I fool around yet longer until the clock strikes eight. And then with a grave and serious face. I change to a different state. Again I sit at the table and watch the face of the clock Which seems to make me so nervous, and it seems it does me mock. So to cheer me up I tell some joke or romp around with the kids. Till the siren blows and I turn In with tired and heavy lids. It's out of reach for me to try to write a theme tonight— I think I'll get up early when I'm feeling fresh and bright. And if I don’t—as I s'pose I won’t —she’ll give me a flunk for the day. Put maybe my daily average will pass me. anyway. And so I went to bed that night with nothing done at all. But next day in English Class I felt so cheap and small ’hen on the list I read my name to make up time that night. Heartily I wondered if that were really right. So. classmates, let me warn you to keep your work right up. As it's never going to help you to get it in too late. ---------c.h.s.---- I’ve racked my brain to find a poem— I’ve worried all the family— I’ve looked o’er all the literature. And still I find my thoughts are rambly. My head is in a dizzy whirl. I’ve taxed my cerebellum; Ideas come and ideas go But I can't seem to tell ’em. For tho I’ve tried, and cried and sighed. At last I’ve come to know it— 1 may be a thousand things. But alas! I’m not a poet. -------c. h .s.---- “Hubby, how much do you love me?” “How much do you need?” Miss McNall: What was the greatest war song ever written? Ilollie: “Here comes the bride! 35 LETTER GIRLS Listen, my folks, ami you shall hear A story of the girls' B. B. career. These girls are not a bunch of toys. In fact they’re better than the boys. First there was Anna Maney. our forward. Played 21 quarters and never got hurt. She is small, yet quick and full of vim: Pat will not shirk: usually just grins. Anna Dowen. our basket rolling shark. Speediness expert, but Hark! Twenty-eight quarters was her record score— Pep and ginger clear to the core. Next there was Greta Sands—you know her— • Who played guard and sometimes center. Twenty-eight quarters—quick on her feet. She’d make most boys take a back seat. Miss Anderson, our wonderful coach— She was right there and would not poach! Without her the girls would have been lost And would not have been worth a pinch of salt. Loretta Kuhr—best Chinook ever had— Twertty-eight quarters for three years — Oh. Dad! When in a game she played guard: Dont’ tell me she didn’t hit hard. Florence Campbell—Flossy for short— Sub-guard she played without a retort. Seventeen quarters and still going strong. All fighting till she hears the gong. Our sub-forward was Kathleen Cooper. She has a record just like a trooper— Hard to surpass—as good as Cole—-Fifteen quarters without missing a hole. Now. listen. Alumni, between you and me. We’re proud of our team, that’s easy to see. There’re teams in the past and teams coming up. But for doing their stuff they win the gold cup! ------c.h s.------ THE FACULTY ALPHABET A is for Anderson, our English delight: From her. of course, we never take fright. .1 is for Julian, the head of the school.
