May. 1927 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 7 FACULTY First Row—John Rebol, Ruth McMillan. Marjorie Zimmerman, Margaret Wagner, Robert Julian (Superintendent). Second Row—Joseph Yuhasz. Blanche Williams, Mildred Snedecor. Esther Anderson. Wilbur Zimmerman. Dwight Johnson. The Faculty The faculty of the C. H. S.. We are very proud to say. Is about the best that can be had Anywhere today. First, there’s our “Prof.” Julian, Not very big—but wise. You see, what’s in a person’s head Is not always shown by size. He comes to us from Iowa, Where he spent many a happy day Attending school as we do. In the common and usual way. In nineteen twenty-two he came to Havre, Their principal to be; And then he moved to C. H. S. In nineteen twenty-three. He has been with us For four long years or more. And we will still remember him When we are sixty-four. Then, there is Mrs. Williams, Who, we’re not afraid to say. Is one of the best History teachers In the entire U. S. A. She attended Oberlin College To increase her knowledge more; Then she came to the West to teach In eighteen ninety-four. She has helped a good many students Through the trials of history. How she always keeps her patience Is sure a mystery. You may think that History Makes a crab of the very best. But you’ll fiind she’s just as jolly As any of the rest. Miss Anderson, the teacher We all know as Andy,” As a well-known English teacher. Comes in mighty handy. She is from South Dakota; That’s all I need to say. You won’t have any trouble Guessing the rest, anyway. If you know what's best for you; I might as well tell you as not— Don’t ever say to her: “I seen,” or “I ain’t got.” Mrs. Zimmerman, our commercial teacher. Takes a front seat.

Superintendent’s Comment THE FINAL EXAMINATION School days are not only a preparation for living, they are a part of life itself. The qualities of character developed here will not change in some mysterious manner after graduation. Your character is not like the color of the chameleon, changing with each new situation. If it is true that your weaknesses are likely to betray you when you are put to the test, it is fully as true that the characteristics which you have taken pains to develop through your high school course will stand by you the day after graduation. Here, then, is your final examination. While you answer these questions for yourself be sure that your associates are also answering them for you and upon their answer will largely depend the return—in gold as well as in honor—which you will receive for your efforts as you travel on. I. Do you habitually attend to your job. putting aside all other matters until it is completed? II. Can you see your work without someone to point it out to you and can you tackle it and complete it without undue encouragement and assistance? III. Will you carry your share of the load when the eye of authority—parental, civil, or religious—is not resting upon you? IV. Can you make the adjustments necessary to enable you to team with your fellows in accomplishing a common task? V. Are you able to take what life brings and feel that you are making the best of it? VI. Do you consider your neighbor’s feelings as your own and habitually show it? If you can answer an honest “Yes” to these questions your future is bright indeed. All the gold of Weepah will not be a fair exchange for the gift which you will make to your day and generation. ROBERT JULIAN.

8 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1927 For in this line of work She surely can’t be beat. In North Dakota she attended The university and business college. Now you can easily see how She gained all her knowledge. She isn’t the least bit crabby; But she sure can make us mind. And it wouldn’t be half so funny If there were more of her kind. We must not forget Mr. Zimmerman— More commonly known as “Zim. Just let the eighth grade tell you How well they all like him. He is from Minnesota. But to be quite sure, indeed. Is an exception to the rule— For he is not a Swede. Now our Home Ec. teacher. Mildred Snedecor by name. Was raised in old Montana. Where she learned the teaching game. She entered Bozeman College; Then taught a year or two And before her graduation She fell in love with “Stew. She went to Simms and taught a year. Home Ec. and Junior Litt. This year she’s teaching in Chinook And is making quite a hit. Dwight Johnson, from Montana, too. Is full of life and tricks. From Bozeman he did graduate In nineteen twenty-six. He teaches Sciences and Ag. And in his own styled way Tells every kid just what he thinks Of every thing they say. Pipe down up there, and “You shut up. He frequently cries out. And. sure as anything you know. The kids begin to shout. Joe Yuhasz makes us think of verbs. And Anderson does fright. For the grammar that is in his name Is far from being right. He is from Missouri By all it is well known: He isn’t very easily fooled For he has to be shown. When he went to school in St. Louis. He won himself much fame; For he never could be beat In any football game. Next on the list is Rosie. Miss McMillan, you know. She teaches French and Latin. And English Litt. also. She graduated from U. of Illinois— I don’t know when, for sure You see. we couldn’t get her To tell us any more. When Warren starts in talking. As we all sometimes do. She says: “If I wanted you to help I’d surely ask you to! She coaches the girls’ basket ball And has gained by it much fame. Because the girls the whole year round Have won most every game. Margaret Wagner to most of us Is also quite well known. Even though she teaches The Seventh and Eighth alone. She is from Iowa. A graduate of Cornell College; Then she taught in Minnesota To pass on her gathered knowledge. If some more of her history you desire. Of Mr. Johnson, our Ag teacher, inquire. Last but not least is John Rebol. Senior sponsor of twenty-seven. If he keeps up his good work He’ll earn his place in Heaven. He is from Ohio. And for knowledge he did strive. So he graduated from college In nineteen twenty-five. He certainly has a job of it. Teaching us mathematics. And let me tell you another thing— He can’t be beat in athletics. 1 hope you feel as we do About our faculty; Why we are so proud of it You can plainly see. Another thing, of course. Which is quite plain to see Is that I’m no good At writing poetry. Miss Snedecor in sewing class: “Laura, which loom does a weaver like best? Laura (intelligently): An heir-loom. Miss Snedecor in Dietetics class: “Where would you send a man to get an appetite? Lillian Nick: “To Hungary. Mr. Julian: Don’t say anything about brains. I have a great respect for brains. I often wish I had some myself. Johnson: If you had a powerful microscope, you could see a mosquito weep. Ben: That’s nothing—I’ve seen a moth ball! One thing about these modern skirts—they don’t bag at the knees.
