12 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1926 Class History In the fall of 1914 the craft was launched which was to become the ship of 1926. The task of getting the young, unruly pupils started on the straight and narrow path was given to Miss Paine. Because of the lack of understanding of school life and the worry to our teachers, we only had to go to school one half day. but this was considered long enough by we young aspiring students. The only significant event of the year was Miss Paine’s marriage, and we struggled in vain to accustom ourselves to calling her Mrs. Griffin. The second year of our school life proved more interesting than the first, except for the occasional visit of Superintendent Willman, which filled us all with terror. We seemed to regard him as a superhuman being having a desire to inculcate fear in our hearts and make school life more unpleasant and disagreeable than it already was. As we advanced in grades. Miss Arnold became our teacher and it was during these years that music was introduced, and the “would-be musicians” of future years had an opportunity to exercise their powers. Another thing which we shall all remember were the speeches made on war savings stamps, which early instilled in our young hearts a spirit of patriotism and loyalty to our country. By the time we reached the fifth grade it was naturally supposed, by us at any rate, that we knew a great deal, but it took the teachers to show us what a strike was, and yet when it was all over, we knew no more than when it began, except that we had a new teacher. Mrs. Rhodes by name, and w e came to the conclusion that it was a poor way to acquire such an unnecessary thing. In the seventh grade we had Miss Arnold again, and each member of the class has a good word for her because of the treats she gave us all on holidays. Our only regret was that more great men hadn’t been born, or that Christmas and Thanksgiving didn’t come more often. It was in the eighth grade that we experienced the thrill of being in “Junior High School.” This exultant feeling soon left us when wfe discovered we were to have Mrs. Trumbull for home room teacher. We all knew this meant “Mind your P’s and Q’s”. However, it was something of a novelty for us to have manual training and home economics, and we tried our luck at the mysteries of saws and cook stoves. When we entered the high school, we settled down with a satisfaction which comes to all of us when we have achieved something we have worked hard for and still fondly imagine it is good. We wrere awakened from our dream by the upper classmen’s sarcastic jeers and ridicule. They never ceased to remind us that we were their inferiors and should conduct ourselves as such. Miss Clark and Miss Hobart were our roll call teachers, and we rejoiced in the fact that here, at least, was one point where we excelled the other classes. At the end of our Freshman year Raymond Gardner. Reba Gibson and Janet Thibedeau wrere gone, but these were replaced by Beatrice Lemman and Earl and Vera Murphy. It was during the Sophomore year that we really began to show our talent and to win a dominant place in school activities. We helped win the inter-class championship in football, had three men on the basket ball squad and won the inter-class track meet. We led in speaking and declamatory and w’ere the first ones to edit a class paper. The same spirit was manifest during the Junior year, and the following new students were added to our list: Lynn Butcher, Mable Musgrove, Leo Peterson, Edward Kuhr, Nettie Sharpies, Henry Hollen-berger, and Earl Streeter. The class of ’26 proved their leadership by holding the leading offices in every club and organization in the school, by again winning honors in speaking and declamatory, winning inter-cless basketball, football and track, and having some snappy members on the girls’ basket ball squad. Why shouldn’t we have made it a banner year, with Frances Easbey president, Nettie Sharpies vice president, and Anna Holst secretary and treasurer, not forgetting to mention our jolly good sponsor, Mr. Peterson. Our Junior Prom proved much of a success, even the Seniors admitted “we sure put it over.” At the beginning of this year we obtained a good good start by having Mr. Peterson sponsor again, and re-electing Captain Easbey president. With the help of his co-workers, Vera Murphy, vice president, and Anna Holst, secretary and treasurer, no one can doubt the success of this year’s efforts. Although at the beginning of the year the class diminished to only twenty-two members, we entered the game with much the same spirit as in other years and were again successful in the various activities. With Miss Ingersoll’s help our Senior play went over big. and with that out of the way w e began making plans for the annual. Its success can only be determined by those who read it. We have put forth our best efforts and hope to leave in the hearts of the students who come after us. a feeling that the class of ’26 did their best for the Chinook High School, which is all any of us can do. Class Will Know all men by these presents, that the Senior Class of the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. of the Chinook High School, County of Blaine, State of Montana, of the United States of America, about to sever connection with the dear Alma Mater, and being sound of mind and body, and under the influence of no man or drink, hereby and by these presents do bequeath and divide their earthly possessions collectively and individually, as follows: We, the Senior Class, leave to the community as a whole the Beet Sugar Factory, built under our surveillance and with the aid of some of our worthy members.
