G THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1925 FACULTY. Lower row. left to right—Beatrice Northup. Marjorie Soule. Esther Anderson. Blanche Williams. Hazel McNall. Second row—Huston Smith, Vernon Sanders, Francis Peterson. Wilbur Zimmerman. Robert Julian. 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. (Continued on page twelve)

8 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May, 1925 THE HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1925 At the etui of a certain day in the forepart of i eptember, 1913, Miss Paine, now Mrs. Walter Griffin, came home from school with a headache. 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.
