S. was startled by a body of seventh graders about to embark upon their high school career. Never in the history of the Junior High had there been such a large class. The first semester we were very quiet for we thought it necessary to impress the upper classmen by our good behavior. The next semester we had a Valentine party which was a very great success. The decorations were in red and white, and the time was passed in playing games. Soon we were called upon to entertain in assembly. The boys’ quartet wras so well liked that they were asked to sing at other social activities. By this time we began to be recognized as a class with a future and not just as insignificant seventh graders, getting under the feet of the upper classmen. Toward the end of the year, we decided that a picnic was next in order so after much debating we planned to hold the picnic at O’Neil’s and invite the eighth SEVENTH GRADE EDITORIAL We just came over from the other building not so very long ago. At first it seemed kind of queer not to have recess and to go from one room to another to our classes, but we’re used to that now, since we’re full-fledged members of the Junior high. We always used to forget which books to take along and when the bell rang we’d ju t run and forget all about our books. But that was a whole year ago We’ll let bygones be bygones. There’s quite a few of us and the teachers find it difficult to handle us sometimes, especially during this nice spring weather we’re having: but what can they expect of us, the first year in Junior high? Our sponsor is Mrs. Johnson and we all like her fine. Our other teachers are Mr. Zimmerman. Mr. Yuhasz, and Mrs. Hawver. Our subjects are as follows: English. Science, Geography and History, Domestic Science and Shop. At the beginning of the year we found it difficult (Continued on page 35) (Continued on page 41)

18 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1928 The Student Council First Student Council members were elected from each class October 1, 1924, under the supervision of Superintendent Julian. During the first semester Helen Montgomery was elected chairman, Norma Gesell secretary, and Donald Morrison sergeant at arms. During the second semester Vera Murphy was chairman, Norma Gesell secretary and Goldie Bloomer sergeant at arms. The first meeting was held October 15 and ways and means of advertising for a new gym were discussed. During this year interest was awakened In debating and having an annual by the council. In 1926 representatives were elected from each class under the same rule as the former year, three repiesentatives from the senior and junior classes, two from the sophomores and freshmen and one from the seventh and eighth grades. The council was organized with Vera Murphy chairman. William McGregor secretary and treasurer and Henry Lehfeldt sergeant at arms. During this year the Student Activity Fund was begun and each class used this as a banking system. The benefit of this plan is to save the banks the trouble of handling petty accounts and it protects the cla-s funds. Much school spirit was aroused during the invitational tournament. A contest was held in order to obtain new yells, and John Cronk and Clarance Achen received the prizes. William McGregor was appoited yell leader by the school. Orange and black caps and megaphones were made by the council. The school song, “We’ll Never Let C. II. S. Fall,’’ was printed on the megaphones. To make the assemblies more enjoyable the council proposed that one class entertain in assemb ly each week. These entertainments proved to be The “C The Chinook “C Club was organized in tlu f M of 1923 under Vernon Sanders, school coach and instructor at that time.

I will do my best to stand for my school against all others; to strive in every way to make my school mean more to the community and to myself; to never, by ivord or act. do anything that would in any way mar the good name of my school.” very interesting. The council was influential in making “The Student Voice” a high school project instead of a commercial department enterprise. Last year Carl Noyes was elected chairman. Loretta Maney secretary, and John Cronk sergeant at arms. For the tournament, the council aroused much “pep and elected John Cronk as yell leader. They awarded football letters to the boys who had earned them. They aDo retained Anna Maney as secretary of the Student Activity Fund.

President Klemme of Intermountain College gave a talk to the people of the community and the high school. It also sponsored the dance and concert given by the Bobcat orchestra and band from Bozeman. Under the suggestion of the council a high school orchestra was started. 1 he council stirred up enough enthusiasm and interest in athletics to make football and basketball season and the invitational tournament a financial success. It is hoped that the power and ability of the council becomes more perfect as time goes on. ’ Club Mr. Rebol. high school coach, is supervisor of the club now. This year, the “C” Club put on their seventh annual carnival. The gymnasium was appropriately decorated, and a large crowd attended.

Clara Barber, a member of the Junior Class, was elected Carnival Queen. There was dancing in her honoi by da Hardin. Although the “C” Club is not very old. it is improving both in quantity and quality and will, before long, be one of the most important organizations in the Chinook high school. A village parson’s daughter eloped in her father’s clothes. And the next day the village Blatter came out with an account of the elopement, headed: “Flees in father’s pants.”
