This class contains a “Lott” which we try to heat with one “Cole.” Our Sheppard” has an easy tusk, since there are no animals to guard but a “Gesell.” We also have a “Mutt” but no JefF; a “Barber” to whom we owe a “Bill; but alas there is no one to pay it. There is a “Fowler” who tries to n ake a living by killing fowls, but he hasn’t succeeded as yet because there are no birds: and if there were, our “Noyes” would frighten them away. We are very sorry to say that among our twenty-seven members we have only one Bloomer”; however. in case of accident, we could easily “Overcast” them. The remainder of our twenty-seven members, take an active part in the class affairs, also. That the Juniors are an ambitious bunch is proven by their entering into most, if not all. the school activities, including basketball, football, glee club. “C” club. Dramatic club. Ag. culb. extemporaneous speaking contest, and track. The Junior boys make up the majority of the basketball and football squads and take a prominent place in track. The girls are also well represented in basketball. We have managed to launch quite a number in the Dramatic club. Among these are: Dorothy Kenyon. Owen McCaffrey. Carl Noyes, Frances Ramberg. Ida Renda. Helen Lott, John Richmond and Lillian Lawson. Miss McMillan, our sponsor, is the best ever, and by her guidance we are sure to succeed. Our secretary and treasurer is Dorothy Kenyon, and our president is Harold Barber. Our members of the Student Council are Loretta Maney. Lillian Lawson and Carl Noyes. We are certain that when our time comes to leave C. H. S. we will long be remembered as one of the Biggest and Brainiest classes that ever graduated from Chinook High School. —O. G. Frances R.: I spilled some sulphuric acid on my hand and it made it smart. Dorothy: Put some on your head. then. Sprouts: What's the matter? You look worried. Slats: I can’t decide whether that rookess I took to the dance last night told me that I danced like a zephyr or a heifer. Margaret M.: It took Ben twenty minutes to teach me to swim. Clara B.: The rascal! He taught me in live.

The summary of the play is as follows: The setting took place in Melville, Connecticut. Miss Minnie Mayfield and her maid-servant.. Melons, had come to live in the former house of Miss Mayfield’s un le. ho had died about a year before. While Uncle Timothy was still alive, he had promised some Liberty Bonds to Melons, but they had been stolen by Hubner, Uncle Timothy’s former servant. Hubner was imprisoned for this crime, but escaped and returned to the house. Melons, a very superstitious woman, believed in spirits. Hubner, knowing this, wrote numerous messages on a slate which Melons always kept in a convenient place for him to find. Shortly after the arrival of Miss Mayfield and Melons, Miss Mayfield’s niece came to visit them. At about this time. Bert Judkins, a college boy, was sent to the house for initiation into the Theta Phi Gamma fraternity. He was to dress up an ironing board and take a snapshot picture of it. But before he had done this he met Miss Ruby, who thought that he was a business caller to see her aunt. The meeting of the four characters. Bert. Ruby, Melons and Hubner, clears the mystery of the haunted house, even tho Melons still believed it was all done by spirit hands.

SOPHOMORE EDITORIAL We. the class of ’29, have learned much from books since first we entered the old red school house to tread the paths of knowledge. Many of our fellow travelers have dropped by the wayside either to work or to gain a sense of freedom. Many others have joined the class on its journey, thus tilling the places of those who have left us. Billy Piper, Edward McPherson. Mary Pyette. and Margaret Lott joined our ranks this term. This year we have been well represented in athletics. Zela Scott, Margaret Lott, Sydney Riley. Donald Morrison and Ray Fleming have been some of the school's greatest basketball stars. Billy Skillen. Henry Brinkman and Clinton Salfer held the line or bucked it in football. Nearly all the girls took part in Glee Club with Mrs. Wiliams as the kind, helpful director. The talented actors of our class were Donald Morrison. Betty Hoover, Vera Rasmussen. Clara Barber. Daisy Thompson and Zella Scott. Mary Pyette and Edward McPherson represented us in the Student Council. Those sent from our class to compete in the District Scholarship Contest at Havre were Edward McPherson, Ingvald Fredlund, and Mary Pyette. We are particularly grateful to Miss Anderson, who has struggled faithfully for three years trying to teach us the use of good English, and to Mr. Johnson, who has instructed us in “free hand drawing.” We have attended many interesting basketball games this year, have taken part in the assemblies, and other school activities, including our class party, with much enthusiasm. In the years to come. I’m sure that the members of our class will remember the many good times they had when they were Sophomores of the Chin .ok High School. Paul M.: What succulence will you feed chick- ens in the winter time? Mr. Johnson: That’s where you have to use your head. SOPHOMORE SAYINGS Billy Skillen. in a Biology quiz: “What if you can’t answer the question?” Mr. Johnson: “Then write, ‘I don’t know,’ as a student in a chemistry test wrote. “God knows. I dont . When the professor corrected the papers he wrote, ‘God gets the credit, you don’t.’ ” Clarence: Do you believe in star gazing? Ole: No; when I look at ’em they always fall.
