We’re a big class of thirty-nine and going strong —especially in Latin. We're nearing the end of the school year and we look back over the swell times we’ve had this winter. The Big Senior Mixer, picnics, parties, “w’aflfle spreads. basketball games and dances, and last but surely not least, the wonderful “C” Club Carnival, the biggest thing ever in the history of the school. We have engaged in a number of outside activities: The Dramatic Club, athletics, the Glee Club and others. The courses our talented pupils are enrolled in are numerous. We have many girls patiently trying to learn to sew’ and cook in domestic science, wonderfully talented wood-carvers” in shop, and, for the boys who think maybe they shall take up farming in the Far West, a certain Mr. Johnson has been imported. Well, so long! We hope to be back next year and pitch in and make a name for ourselves as the brightest bunch of sophomores in the history of the school: w’e too. hope some day to stand up on the stage on The Great Night,” and say A-hem, thank you’’ for our diplomas as others before us have done. A large number of our boys w ent out for football when Coach Rebol called last fall. Joe Sackett, Hollister Reser. Billy Duke, Leonard Listou, Monroe Tanberg. Rex Haycock. Vernon Cole, Elmer Spring, Charles Sargent and Tommy Ward all did their best to help the team to success. In basketball Joe Sackett, Vernon Cole and Holly Reser showed promise of developing into real stars. They all helped to win games for Chinook. Vernon Cole. Joe Sackett and Holly Reser are the Freshmen members of the “C” Club. In addition to their activity in athletics they took a part in putting the big Carnival over. Our girls also took part in athletics. Loretta Phelan played guard on the first team and helped to win the championship of Northern Montana by playing in every game this season. Prominent members of the Dramatic who are also Freshmen are: Elmer Gesell, Margaret Morrison, Loretta Phelan. Isabel Griffin, Eleanor McCaffrey, Margaret Walker and Ameretta Easbey. Margaret Walker is our only representative in the Glee Club. She upholds the honor of our class in this activity but more of us should get in.

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.

20 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1927 SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES EIGHTH GRADE EDITORIAL. The seniors, of course, think they are the most important class in school. Every other class thinks they are, too, for that matter. To show our importance w’e have gone through our eighth year with the greatest of pep. After meeting our home room teacher. Mrs. Williams, and electing our class officers, we settled down to work. It was not long, though, before we grew tired of the steady grind and had a party. To this we invited the seventh grade. It was a great success. Then, to our amazement, the semester tests were awaiting us. Most of us got through all right and went on with our daily lessons. In the second semester we gave an entertainment for the assembly. The main feature of this was a play. “That Love of a Bonnet.” Later on, we had a St. Patrick’s party, which also was a success. Then just as we were beginning our plans for a picnic the seventh grade invited us to attend theirs. In the Exhibition, which took place in May. we also showed our ability. We made “Montana Government” booklets and showed our musical talent in singing. When the deciding time came, wfe were all awaiting our cards with greatest hope. Most of us passed and next year will see us taking our places as Freshmen. SEVENTH GRADE EDITORIAL Do you know that the seventh grade of 1927 has the largest enrollment of any class in the history of the school? Not only that, but it is also the most brilliant one. E’s are abundant. F’s are few. Wait a minute! After I have spent much time in deep thought I cannot guarantee the above statement to be what you might call exactly true. If you are curious to know the truth, ask Mr. Zimmerman. He teaches our Science and Mathematics classes and has the inside dope on that subject. It was near Valentine’s day; and as our class had behved very well. Miss Anderson, our sponsor, suggested a Valentine party. There was work. I can tell you. but after our work came fun. There was excitement from beginning to end in the gym that night. A couple weeks after the party, we were called upon to give a program before the student body. We did. We certainly showed the older folks that we had talent. The seventh grade, as a whole, has found that from the age of six until they graduate, they will have to be constantly toiling. There seems to be no way of persuading the teachers to call time out. When the day comes that we no longer will have to dwell in the school house, pondering over our books, there will be this certainty in our minds, “The Senior Class of 1932 was the best class in the history of the Chinook High School.”
