HUMOR AND ADVERTISING FOREWORD In presenting this 1930 Breeze the Senior class wishes to thank all who have made this annual possible. We ask your kind indulgence as you read these pages—remember we are only human. This book represents the culmination of twelve years cf buoyant childhood and youth. In the years to come may it offer sweet communion to those of us whose hearts are still in touch with the dear old school days. We have tried to put into this year book, wholesome—good cheer, humor, hope—those things that make dark days endurable and sunny days enduring. Here’s to the friend that seeks not self, and hath No censure for our frailty, but doth woo The way of truth; then sheds upon our lives A radiance that all things else survives. WILLIAM H. DUKE. JR..

THE MODERN TREND IN EDUCATION The trend of modern education is toward usefulness. In all schools today more attention is being given than formerly to those branches of learning that enables the pupils to start immediately to get money reurns for education acquired. In our great universities less attention is given to the ancient languages and more to engineering, less to theory and dogma and more to chemistry and kindred subjects, than in days gone by. A hundred year ago. if a man went to college it was presumed, as a matter of course, that he was going into the ministry: now it is presumed that he is not. Then, all great schools taught theology: now but very few. Even if one goes to a theological seminary now-a-days. it is scarcely presumed that he is preparing for the ministry, because most of the courses are purely educational and the student is permitted to elect, late in his course, whether he will preach or do something else; and in the majority of the cases he does something else. The time was, only a few years ago. when every candidate for an A. B. degree in our great universities had to take Greek and Latin. Now. in almost all such institutions. Greek is entirely optional and much less Latin is required than formerly. This is an age of materialism and we find most of our pleasures closely linked to financial prosperity and the possession of material things, instead of enjoying spiritual things as man did not long ago. Be it good for the world or bad, there is no doubt that the automobile is fast taking the place of the prayer meeting, and our schools are teaching the things that lead by the shortest route to the automobile. A few years ago, our students graduated from our high schools, and then took up shorthand, typewriting. and bookkeeping in some local business college, but now they get all this in our well equipped high schools. Every city of considerable size has its “business high” and “manual training high,” where students are taught that which will bring them employment and money as soon as they have finished their courses. These schools are well patronized in our cities today. Whether this be right or wrong, L am not prepared to say. but there is no doubt that there is a demand from the people f :r this class of instruction. The people have only recently learned that “You cannot make a square peg fit in a round hole.” They have begun to ask themselves what is the use of it when there are plenty of square holes. If a man is ordained by nature to be an engineer, there is no use in trying to make him a poet or a minister; far better to assist him to be a good engineer. The schools should be the helpmate, not the master of the people, and that is the position they are fast assuming. Of course, the rudiments of all education are bound to be the three R’s. and thus far no leeway can be given. They are the tools by which more education is acquired and a fair knowledge of our language is equally important, but nature has done something special for almost every child and if those special traits are developed, it is likely that the individual, as well as society, will be better served than if they are taught something they despise. Of course, many courses must be taken purely for mental culture and there always has been and doubtless will be. many who will take a whole university course purely for that purpose. But where a student aims at a particular object, it is still often best that he be dictated to in some measure by those who have mastered those subjects which he is about to undertake, for it is only in this way that he can be forced to acquire the necessary mental growth to accomplish his principal undertaking. So the curriculum must stand, not with its cast iron rigidity that limits man’s career, but with that flexibility necessary to assist in the career already selected. SUPT. F. J. BURNEY.

In recognition thereof, I do hereby proclaim t as a day to be set aside from all the rest for anniversal celebration in the making of speeches and lifting our voices in praise and jollification, and the pouring forth of various yells and songs of subtle and diverse significance that the air may abound with the echo of our tongues rejoicing. I do likewise decree that the teachers and principal of our school, to whom we. one and all. feel so deeply and eternally indebted, shall be well remembered in the pouring forth of our gratitude, and that none of our parents or friends shall be forgotten in the returning of thanks for the privileges they have for so long placed so fully at our youthful disposal; but that we shall with grateful and sincere heart remember what cause we have to be grateful to each and everyone for all these mercies, and shall, in all our rejoicing, give thanks for all that we have proven to be so gozrd. Therefore, as we look back over the past, with all its great and wonderful victories and achievements. and look forward to the future, with all its yet more wonderful promise of great and glorious things yet to come, and mighty and marvelous deeds awaiting our hands for the doing, we must enter into this abbration in the proper spirit of young men and women, fresh from the mint of their chosen high sch:ol, and detemining to put before the people, who may come to be our guests, the very best demonstrations of our ability to entertain them of which we are capable, not only as a proof of what we have r rmplished, but as a promise of the fulfillment of all the resolutions we have made for the life to como so s on. And to you. friends, who have made all this achievement so beautifully possibly for us. and who therefore have a right to expect of us the very noblest example of every efTort it is our pleasure and privilege to render, we are indeed proud to speak the words that carry with them from all the class a cordial and grateful welcome. —Joe Sackett CLASS DIAGNOSIS Ladies and Gentlemen:—The Class of 1930, rbout to go the way of all the world, and to pass out into the Great Beyond, salutes you. even in the face of approaching death. It is with the most profound regret that I find it necessary to bring before your attention this evening the serious—indeed. I may well say hopeless—condition of the Class of 1930. We have known for several years that the Class was in a somewhat critical state of health. There has been no chance for any doubt about that, for the combination of disorders, under which she has been suffering has been only too clearly manifest, and the symptoms of her disease unmistakable. Indeed, for the past four years, her head has been so rapidly swelling with her greedy accumulation of information in the Chinook high school, that it has now assumed such gigantic proportions in each of her thirty-f ur individual parts, as to cause r 11 who know her, or who have come into even occasional contact with any part of her. the most 8eri:us uneasiness lest it should burst with its treasures overflow cf learning, and scatter its treasures of knowledge broadcast upon an unappreciative public. She also has many dizzy spells, caused, it is believed, by the immense heights to which she has climbed in her search for wisdom—the blood rushes to her head and face in mighty floods of blush and bloom, whenever she is asked a question there is the least chance for any suspicion that she may not know the answer, be it of this and all other worlds, past, present, or to come—w'hile her heart, with all its thirty-four throbbing pulses, has become abnormally heavy with the thought of parting soon to come, and the anticipation of the last painful struggle. In addition to this, she still carries many stabs to her vanity, that seem greviously slow to heal, received from unexpected failures and mistakes; and various scars, which even her massive pride has not yet been able to thoroughly obliterate from her plastic understanding, as well as several painful bumps and bruises, the result of stumblings while attempting to run too fast and outstrip her competitors. or climb too far above the averages of the high school precedent, in a strange and unwholesome fever of desire to finish her race before the appointed term had been fulfilled. She is also exceedingly nervous, and hopes that you will bear patiently this evening with her frequent lapses of memory, for her overworked and overloaded brain has begun to wander,—even more than usual—and she has become subject to curiously unaccountable spells” and fits” which she hopes you will not think natural or usual in her behavior, for only the wise nurses in charge of her case have been found able to control these peculiar symptoms that approach the appearance of insanity. Year by year, too, she has grown smaller and smaller and smaller, shrinking under the weight of ponderous study laid upon her from her former mammoth constituency to the present insignificant few. Under such conditions, who could expect, or even wish her. to linger longer in this dreary vale of tears and partings? No. there is no longer any hope. The class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty has become altogether too wise to linger longer among the struggling youths and aspiring maidens of Chinook High School. Last w’eek a council of wise and learned 20 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1930 specialists was called to sit in judgment upon the rapidly failing patient. By means of tests and other examinations, they took her temperature and mental standing, and performed a very essential operation upon her over-crowded brain. In her poor cranium they found such a jumbled mass of mathematics, science and literature that there was absolutely no chance for relief. There, in a huge, indigestible mass, were crowded together ten years of reading, writing, drawing, spelling, language, and arithmetic; eight years of geography and physiology, four years of history. Latin, algebra, bookkeeping, typing, shorthand and Ancient History;, with one year of Geometry and Chemistry, besides the most deadly kind of a medley of Burke’s “Conciliation with the American Colonies.” Webster’s Reply to Hayne,” Irving’s “Sketch Book.” Hawthorne’s “Twice-Told Tales.” George Eliot’s “Silas Marner,” Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” “Macbeth” and “Hamlet,” and many other bits too numerous to be completely diagnosed here and now'. Truly, there was no hope of recovery—none! When they saw the serious aspect of the case, with grave and troubled faces, these wise doctors pronounced 1930 to be in the last stages of excess of information on the brain, w'ith an average temperature of 93 per cent and declared in their professional wisdom that she could not possibly last longer than until the evening of May sixteenth. I assure you she cannot last many minutes longer, for her pulse is beating at a most alarming rate, her nerves are keyed to the highest pitch, and her temperature is one hundred and eighteen and three-fourths in the shade, and still increasing. Therefore, she asks, as a last request, that you will bear with her patiently during the time that she remains with you. and remember only the good she has done—if any—forgetting her faults as one should always overlook the failings of those who have passed on to other spheres, and thinking as charitably as possible of her many glaring mistakes, thus making her last moments as easy as such moments may be made. To this end. she invites you to be present on this solemn occasion, and to a participation in these last sad rites, extending to v:u her feeble but no less sincere welcome. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of ’26 we were afflicted with the terrible disease of more knowledge needed.” We were at once sent to Dr. Julian and he turned us over to Miss Wagner, as head nurse, to take care of our pitiful case. A few. under her w’atchful and tender care, began to feel some better and have a little more pep; so we joined everything possible. Because much exercise was prescribed to be good for us. We were well started on our way to recovery this year. In ’27 after our pleasant summer vacation we decided to continue our treatments. Dr. Julian said we would not be entirely well for three years at least. This time he puts us under the care of Mr. Rebol. We thought that Nina Sackett was about the mcst fit, physically and mentally, to lead us in our trials and tribulations. Again we took all the exercises we possibly could to improve our critical case. In ’28 we w'ere assigned to w'ard No. 21 with Mr. Rebol in charge assisted by Billy Duke. Poor Mr. Rebol had a terrible time w’ith his patients. I’m afraid. Some of us were afflicted worse than others. He surely had his hands full doling out new medicine to us. Sad to say, this year we lost, as we were nearing the crisis cf our disastrous disease. Mabel Randal, Helen Moore. Gertrude Hall and Maud Farnsw’orth. Hollister Reser. Joe Sackett and Franklin Overcast began to show great improvement. Soon they began to exercise and achieve much publicity in basketball. We must net forget Lillian and Esther Burns and Margaret Lott, who w'ere improving as quickly as the boys. We gave vent to our feelings twice in the way of a play and operetta. Jo Sackett. Margaret Morrison. Eleanor McCaffrey. Isabel Griffin, Evelyn Westbrook. Elmer Gesell and Billy Duke felt well enough to participate in a play. While Evelyn Westbrook, Eleanor McCaffrey, Ruth Maeirt, Isabel Griffin and Joe Sackett also took part in the operetta. Again this year we seemed so much improved that we tried our strength against the high and mighty seniors in a fight. We would have won it. I truthfully believe it, if it had not rained. We had to guard cur health in our sad plight so the fight was declared a tie. with neither side receiving any more than a few bruises. At last we have reached the crisis in our critical disease. Nearly all of us have passed it none the worse for the wear. Mr. Rebol left us this year to the care of Miss Ellison. Miss Ellison, as long as she lasted tcok very good care of us, carrying us successfully through the tragic siege of the Senior play. She felt that we did not need her anymore so she married, and there we were, all by ourselves. We nearly had a relapse, from which we were saved by Mrs. Sias. Miss Brown a nerve specialist, prescribed by Dr. Burney, came to look into our case. She found that we were nearly well and would be released from our four years quarantine soon. In fact we feel so well she can hardly w’atch over the patients in her ward. Over, Hollister Reser. Joe Sackett. Scotty Crawford and Franklin Overcast, she had a very trying time to prevent anything serious happening to them. She lets them have all the exercise they desire and they certainly take it by being State Champions in Basketball. Although some of our “medicine has been bitter and some of our ‘nurses’ not what we all would want, we know now that every thing was for our own good. Now that we have passed the crisis we shall be allowed to return to the world again. After our four years of severe illness we will return as much better citizens. We are all very glad that we have survived. We have left many behind us who are very ill, but we can only hope that they recover as well as we have. May. 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 21 THE SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Charm School,' the delightful Senior play of the 1930 graduating class, was presented on Dec. 18, 1929. The play was given in the Griffin hall as the gymnasium stage was not large enough to put the play cn as it should be. The theme of the play was as follows: Austin Bevans. a young uutomobile salesman, inherits a young girls’ school from his aunt. He has his own ideas of running the boarding school; he believes that girls should be taught “Charm,” and that they need a man at the head of things. He proceeds to establish himself as the president, much to the dismay of the Instructors. The ladies of school also disapprove — until they see the handsome new principal, and then they begin to “hero worship” Bevans. Elsie Benedctti, the president of the Senior class, thinks that Austin is wonderful and at every opportunity is near him. Bevans tries to keep out of her way as his allegiance to the school. All of Bevans old college friends are given w:rk at the school and as a result, there are numerous cases of “puppy love,” thus bringing more cf the teachers disapproval down on his shoulders. The play ends happily, with Austin Bevans and his views being very popular, and, of course. Elsie end Austin find they were made for each other.

CLASS OF ’30 ’Twas in the fall of '26 When first we gathered here Taking up our w'ork together And making friendships dear. Of goodly number was our class, And to each girl and boy Life seemed so full of promises So full of hope and joy. And others who before us went Harked back to times of yore. Telling us of good old days That have gone on before. They told us that the many folks Who now have gained success Trace back the progress through their lives To dear old C. H. S. So day by day we wrestled with The rugged knots of learning And night by night we burned the oil The weary pages turning. And through the weeks and months that passed The goal seemed still as far As that dim spot in mystic space. The far-off Polar star. Many comrades who with us Began this course to run. Becoming weary of the race Have dropped out. one by one. To those cf us who gained the goal. Much sought through bitter strife. Its rich reward. for it means much In each one’s after-life. It means a higher better sphere For each young girl and boy. And that is why our graduates Hail C. H. S. with joy. Our High School days are ended— Soon we’re dreaming of the past. Fc • v o’re reaching where our life roads Take their separate ways, at last. SENIOR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE The following is the unanimous declaration of the thirty-four students of the senior class. When in the course of our high school career. wre find it necessary to separate ourselves from the scholastic ties, which formerly have held us together, and to assume our future vocations in the world, it is only fit and proper that we should declare 22 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1930 publicly our motives which urge us to leave old C. H. S. We hold these statements to be self-evident that all students are not treated alike; that students are punished by their teachers with certain unfailing tortures; that among these tortures are flunks, eighth periods, and instances of partiality. To secure our rights, a Student Council, obtaining its powers through the consent of the student body, has been instituted. Whenever, any teacher interferes with our desires or intentions, it is the duty of the Student Council to alter or nullify her commands, and to suggest other ideas that will promote our interests and happiness. Instructors, indeed, emphasize that long established rules should not be altered for trival and transient causes. Our past experiences have shown that we are more likely to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right ourselves by abolishing them. Such has been our patient sufferance for four years. Therefore, we now find it necessary to seek institutions of higher learning. The history of the past four years is a history of faculty encroachments, each edict tending more and more to establish absolute tyranny over us. To prove this, let facts be given to our sincere readers. Mr. Bowen refuses to let us speak in study hal. a punishment for unprepared lessons. Mrs. Zimmerman forbids gum-chewing in class unless the masticator supplies the whole class. Miss Baur forbids dancing after twelve o’clock for reasons unknown to us. Miss Brown insists on a thorough mastery of English, even including details, in order to prepare us for advanced school training and future vocations. Mr. Burney still repeats, “Now folks.—wonder what it means?” Mrs. Williams declares vocal training is a great asset in showing school spirit. Mr. Horn refuses to give definite assignments for those who wish to study. Mr. Bryan commands, “Put your work away.” Why? We have shop the next day. Mr. Zimmerman still believes mathematics to be essential. We find it to be a real burden. Miss Lund believes in the sayng. “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. ’ We’re too young to understand that principle. Mrs. Leonard urges that less paper be left on the floor. Seniors demand freedom of action Miss Raugust declares seniors are not privileged characters in the study hall. We object. We therefore, the seniors of the Chinook High School assembled, appealing to Mr. Burney, for the freedom of our intentions, do, in the name, and by the consent of the students of this class, publish, and declare that we ought to be free and independent citizens; that we are separated from Chinook high school, and that all connections are dissolved; and that as free and independent citizens, we have limited rights to chew gum, to talk when we wish, to dance after twelve, to forget all English details, and to do other acts and things which in- dependent citizens do. For the support of this declaration, we mutually pledge to each other cur lives, our fortunes, and our honors. CLASS SONG Our school days now are ended Yet we fondly linger here For sweet each joy that we have known ’Tis sad to part from comrades dear Our hearts will long recall each joy That binds us in friendship near For time can never more destroy The thot of memory burning clear Chorus Farewell, farewell to all We bid to all a sweet farewell (repeat) Teachers—comrades Oh gladly now we hail thee Dear friends of school day time The same old love will cherish As in our early prime As nature never changes Our hearts will remain the same And still cn friendships altar Will brightly burn loves flume.

Superintendent, Teachers and Friends: Upon behalf of my client, the Class of 1930, of Chinook High School, of the City of Chinook. State of Montana, U. S. A.. I have called you together upon this solemn and serious occasion, to listen to her last will and testament, and to receive from her dying hand the few gifts she has to bestow in her last moments. Cutting so rapidly loose from life and finding so many things of such gigantic proportions to be attended to before the end should come upon her. realizing at the same time that she had no longer any time left to spend in cultivation of her cwn virtues, she did. collectively and individually deem it best to distribute these virtues with her own hands to those friends to whose needs they seem best fitted. As a result of this announcement i wild scene took place amidst most frantic pleading and scrambling among her friends for this or that so long coveted glory: but she has tried to be just as well as generous and impartial, and distribute wisely unto those who will make the best use of such gifts as she has in her power to bestow, the talents that have served her so faithfully these four years. These are her decisions, as at last definitely arrived at through very deliberate consideration. Owing to the flighty condition of her brain and th« unusual disturbance in its gray matter, she begs me to state for her that she may quite p ssibly have been mistaken in her inventory: but such things as she thinks she has. she hereby gives into your possession, praying that you will accept them as a sacred trust from one who has gone before.

To them we bestow our senior dignity—may they absorb it, our extraordinary good looks and sublime conceit—may they value it. and our seats in assembly—occupy them but do not try to fill them. Fifth: To the Sophs, we bequeath all our laughs and giggles, our unsolved puzzles, tardy and absence slips, and our entire stock of chewing gum to be found in the numerous convenient nooks and corners of our desks. Sixth: To the Freshmen, we leave our wonderful intellectual powers which have brought us to our present enviable position. To Mr. Burney we leave the privilege of running the school. To Miss Raugust we bequeath our love for Mr. Bryan. To Miss Brown we contribute the privilege of eating peanuts in study hall. To Mr. Bryan we give our mechanical ability to keep his Ford running.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1925 the present Junior class started on the rema ining six years to complete their voyage on the Sea of Knowledge. The main event cf the year was a party given by the eighth grade to which the seventh graders were invited. The next year passed as quietly as a school term can. With the exception of the two parties the usual course was taken in the little eighth graders journey. The year of 1927 and 1928 did not pass so quietly for the sailors. Besides being little Green Freshies,” the ship carrrying the voyagers ran aground several times and had to be piloted back to safe waters by their sponsor, Mrs. Williams. The Sophomore year was opened with a party to which the Junior class of 1928-29 was invited. This year the class was well represented in ethlet.es. and had a perfect right to be well proud of their classmates. The Junior year was well started by electing Max as captain of the good ship Success,” Wallace Cinir erman, pilot, and Dale Culbertson, firstmate. Every outside amusement was abandoned by the class in order to raise enough money to put on the Junior Prom. On April 25. the Prom, which proved a great success, was given on the main deck of the ship. And so. with colors still gaily flying, the Juniors slowly watch the horizon of their goal arise in the distance. They have often passed through danger zones, and their trials have been many, but under the wise guidance of Captain Max and of their sponsors, Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr. Bowen, the ship is sure to land safely in its harbor in 1931. 2$ THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1930 SOPHOMORES Front row—Janies Thompson.

Only four of the fifty who entered school then are with us this year. The following five years of our grade-school training passed quickly. Our teachers were: Miss Larson, Miss Thibedeau, iMiss Corrigan, Mrs. Terry, Miss Smith, and Miss Burbridge. In the spring of 1926. we were delighted to receive certificates of promotion admitting us to Junior High. When we entered the seventh grade, we found the class room regulations rigid. We were deprived of our recesses, and our assignments were so long and laborious that we had little time left to play. During this year our social activities were a picnic and a Valentine party. Our teachers were Miss Anderson and Mr. Zimmerman. For our second year in Junior High, we had the same instructors. Miss Anderson and Mr. Zimmerman. During this year we had a Junior High mixer. We entered the ninth grade with an enrollment of fifty-four students. Our sponsor, Miss Lindell, was ideal in our estimation. Helen Jones was elected class president. At the “C” club carnival. Julia Nolan was elected princess. This year Mr. Horn is our supervisor and Alice Easbey is our class president. May, 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 29 FRESHMEN Eugene Phelan, Harold Otter, Glenn Oox.

Miss Hutchinson was our second grade teacher. We had several enjoyable picnics during that year. Miss Clark and Miss Corrigan were our third and fourth grade teachers. Many students, failing to grasp the principle of long division, were left behind in the fourth grade. The next year Mrs. Terry confronted us with the difficult study of fractions. Most of us succeeded in making our grade. Miss Burbridge was our sixth-grade teacher. At the close of the year, we wrere given certificates of promotion, with a permit to move into the high school building the following fall. We found Junior High to be quite different from the grade school. It was necessary for us to adapt ourselves to new’ regulations and to taking w’ork under several instructors. Mrs. Johnson. Mr. Zimmerman. Mrs. Showman and Mr. Johnson were our teachers. We elected Fay Upshaw’ class president, and Virginia Ames carnival representative. In the eighth grade we elected Lawrence Patterson class president and Helen Hoover vice-president. In the spring we had a class party to w’hich we invited the seventh and ninth grades. Our teachers were: Mrs. Leonard. Mr. Zimmerman. Miss Lund. Mr. Rebol, Mr. Bow’en and Mr. Bryan. This year there are seventy-two freshmen, many of whom are new members. Our teachers are: Mrs. Williams, Miss Baur, Miss Brow’n, Mr. Bryan, Miss Raugust, Mr. Bowen and Miss Lund.

HISTORY OF JUNIOR HIGH In 1922-23, our classes, consisting of more than sixty children, enrolled in the first and second grades. Miss Ramsey and Miss Tilden were our teachers. Our years In the grade school passed quickly Miss Hutchinson. Miss Staudaker, Miss Corrigan, Miss Trumball, Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Flynn each helped us in turn in the mastery of the grade school fundamentals. We entered Junior high somewhat afraid of our school work and the upper classmen, but this fear gradually has left us. We have accustomed ourselves to taking work under several teachers instead of one. We no longer miss our recesses. Mr. Zimmerman and Mrs. Leonard are our home-room teachers. Wie have enjoyed two class parties since our entrance into Junior High. Athletics ■ 32 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May. 1930 FOOTBALL TEAM Front row (left to right)—Roy Maney, Vernon Cole. Roy Noyes.

Te line-up for the season was as follows: Left end—Proctor. Left tackle— Tanberg. Left guard—Ram burg. Center—Duke. Right guard—Richards. Right tackle—Moore. Right end—Sackett. Quarterback—Reser. Right halfback—Cole. I eft halfback—B. Noyes (Capt.) Fullback—Cox. Other men, some of whom earned their letters were: R. Noyes, quarterback: Ram burg, Maney, Felton, Nick and Rassmussen, guards and tackles; Watkins, end: and Craw'ford. fullback, who by injury, was forced to quit the game early in the season. The season opened early at Great Falls on September 28. With only a few weeks of practice behind them and nervous over their first encounter, the boys dropped the game, 26-0. The lighter Sugar Beeters held the Blue Bisons scoreless during the first quarter. The score by quarters was as follow's: Chinook ................... 0 0 0 0 Great Falls ................ 0 6 20 26 The Great Falls coach using the famous Notre Dame style, a Rockne Son, 33 men in the line-up. three complete teams, before the game ended. The second game. here, with our old rivals Big Sandy, had a happier outcome. 18-6 in our advantage. The score by quarters: Chinock .................. .. 6 6 18 18 Big Sandy .................... 0 0 0 6 Captain B. Noyes led the scoring w’ith his long sensational runs. Sandy’s lone tally came in the last quarter, when Marty, Sandy’s quarter, intercepted a Chinook pass and ran 80 yards for a touchdown. On October 11. the Malta team invaded our football field and w’ent home w'ith the lean end of a 21-0 score. The Chinook squad showed a decided improvement in their offensive game over the two previous battles. Hard practice in scrimmages with a team of alumni and town men had strengthened the line greatly and it showed up to advantage in this game. The score by quarters was: Chinook .................... 8 8 8 21 Malta ........................ 0 0 0 0 The first tally was made in the first quarter, when Malta fumbled, recovered and wfas tackled May. 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 33 behind Chinook’s goal for a safety, two points. Cox crashed the line for a touchdown later in the quarter. In the third quarter, Cox again counted a touchdown and B. Noyes made an eighty yard run to make the score 21-0. Reser, regular quarterback, was injured in the third quarter and was taken to a Havre hospital, where he was found to have a fractured cheek bone. He was unable to resume play with the team for the rest of the season and his place was well filled by Roy Noyes. On the following Friday. October 16. the Shelby team suffered a rather severe beating at the hands of the Orange and the Black. They were outweighed considerably by our squad and were no match for theem in any department of the game. The final score was 71-0. Three touchdowns in the first quarter, two in the second, three again in the third and three in the fourth frame tell the story. Five times the extra point was made after touchdowns. The team, sprinkled freely with subs, showed wonderful improvement which was noticeable despite the light opposition offered by Shelby. This was the last game on the home field for the season. Considerable interest was aroused by this time, not by the overwhelming score the Sugarbeeters handed the Oilers, but by the possibility of Chinook’s being tied fo district honors with Lewistown and Choteau. Each of these teams had won four games with class A teams. We had won three games and only four wins were necessary to be given a chance at the district title, determined by play off between all these teams who had won their quota. Our next game was with Glasgow there on November 23, and we had good hopes for a victory as they had only beaten Malta 6-0 and we had handed them a 21-0 defeat. However, the Glasgow team, playing a better brand of ball than they had shown before, took the ball from the start and were able to punch it over for the necessary points. To top things off the Chinook eleven was not up to their usual form, the plays not clicking as they were supposed to and the defense not so good. The final score was 13-0, both touchdowns being scored in the first half. This was the last game of the season, so the suits were turned in and basketball practice started. Professor W. T. Scott, Director of the Interscholastic Football Eliminations, gave J. Sackett and B. Noyes honorable mention on the 1929 football team. Seniors who played and who will be graduated this spring are: Tanberg Crawford. Reser, Sackett and Duke. There is an abundance of material for a very promising team next year and a good schedule has been drawn up. Good Luck! BOYS’ TRACK TEAM Left to right—Holly Reser. Joe Sackett. Tom Richards.

Second row (left to right)—Dorothy Blackstone, Miss Raugust (Coach), Leona Thompson. GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team has suffered a total eclipse this year, due to the unsurpassable exploits of the boys’ team. But all due honor must be given them. They won every game they played and scored 296 points to their opponents 117. Nine games were played and most of them were sensationally one sided, the most satisfactory of these scoring 42-0. This game was played with Malta. The season opened with a game with Hingham high school and the first star was put in Chinook’s crown as they scored 43 to their opponents 15. The return game with Hingham showed improvement in both teams, and Chinook carried home the bacon, scoring 28-13. The next game to be played with Malta was looked forward to but the results of that one has already been mentioned—Chinook taking it 42-0. The alumni game was next on the schedule. This game is usually appreciated by the crowd in seeing their old favorites appear on the floor again. The school team usually hopes to beat the alumni but this year they were a bit skeptical of the outcome. However, Chinook rallied forth with her colors flying and the score was 34-4. Harlem was the next aggressive opponent. It proved to be a good game as it was the first real opposition the team had met. 36-25 was the final score. Big Sandy was next. This game is usually looked forward to with a great deal of interest as more than once Big Sandy has shown remarkable skill in locating the basket. But this was Chinook’s game, with a final score of 29-12. Again Harlem challenged us and such an exciting game! Harlem was determined to take Chinook down a peg or two, and they nearly succeeded. The first half stood 8-9. That did not look or sound so good, so back Chinook went with a fighting determination. It was a thrilling half, first in Harlem’s favor, then in ours, but Chinook gradually forged ahead and conquered with 26 points to their 19. A return game was then played with Big Sandy and this one came up more to our expectations. It was a good game, the score being 29 to 23. The last game ended with a bang at Malta. Miss Raugust was the coach this year and maybe she didn’t know’ her “stuff. She worked hard and we are pleased to give her all due credit as a coach and a good sportswoman. Members of the squad were Esther Bums, center; Lillian Burns, Lois Scott and Dorothy Black-stone, forwards; Una Barber and Leona Thompson, guards, and Loretta Phelan, utility. Esther Burns was captain of the team and high point man, making 145 of the total number 267. Four members leave the squad this year.

All of last year’s squad was back and Wallace Zimmerman, who started school here last fall, proved to be a main spring on the team. This is Coach Carl Horn’s first year here. He is a graduate of Kansas State Teacher’s College, where he was a star player. The season opened on November 30, at home. Our opponent was Hingham, whom we defeated 34-8. One of the fastest games of the year was with Helena here on Dec. 21. The final score was 43-18. On Dec. 27 and Jan. 1, Stockett and Lewistown invaded our floor and went home “taken decisively. On Jan. 10. 17. 18, Harlem. Great Falls and Whitefish met defeat on the Chinook floor. The Harlem game was the greatest sccre of the year, the final score being 19-20. The Orange and Black invaded the Great Falls and Stockett gyms late in January, where they took two more scalps. Chinook and Havre met in four scheduled games this season, on January 1. February 5. 13 and 15. In these encounters the Beeters totaled 159 points, 39% per game and Havre garnered 74 points, 18 6 per- game. Two contests were held on each floor.

S. 40 Havre — 12 We entered the State meet with 26 straight victories and no defeats. We emerged with 30 and no defeats. We had tallied 1120 points to our opponents 484, an average of 37 1-3 points to their 16. As the Great Falls Tribune stated, no statistics are available, but it is believed that no other Montana team has gone through an entire season, including all tournaments, without a defeat. Two of our men, Max Procter and Franklin Overcast, were picked as All-State men. Three of them, Zimmerman, Saekett and Proctor were selected on the all-district team and Saekett. Proctor and Overcast represented Chinook n the sub-district selection. Overcast led the season’s scoring with a total of 387 points, Proctor followed closely with 324. Zimmerman totaled 193 and Reser 131. Moore accounted for 84 points and Saekett 67. Harry McCabe. Jr. led the team on to the floor for every game this season. He is in the fourth grade. He is an accurate shot, making a large percentage of his tries for the hoop when he dribbled up to the basket leading “his team. He was a great sensation whereever he went, especially at B ze man. where he visited all the sorority houses, and at Chicago. May, 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 37 CAPT. HERB MOORE, Guard Grabbing the ball from the backboard with his long reach, Capt. Moore has checked many a dangerous rally by opponents of the team. Shrewd in defense, hard working and fast his defensive work has been exceptional. Occasionally dashing down the floor on a startling dribble, he has strengthened the offense by his flashy sorties from the back court. Moore while only a sophomore has two years service on the team to his credit. C. H. S. BASKETBALL SQUAD Back row (left to right)—Verlln Cox, Melvin Crawford. Coach Carl Horn. Burnell Noyes.

Seldom relieved in a game he worked the floor attack with, unrelenting: persistence and shrewdness. A remarkable dribbler, an accurate passer, and a good shot from near or far, ne was always a factor in every game. Named all district and all state center. Proctor is a junior and played a year in Malta and the past two years in Chinook. HOLLISTER RESER. Forward The fastest man on the Chinook floor, Reser covered the court in remarkable style. His dashes for the basket to take a hard floor pass were among the most remarkable plays of the past season. A good shot under the basket, a most loyal unit in the team work. Reser never hogged a shot or failed to pass to the other fellow when that was the play. His work in the first Havre game made the defense fairly wilt. A senior, Reser is a veteran of four years on the local squad. JOE SACKETT. Guard The steadying influence of Sackett all district guard on the Sugarbeeter team was responsible for much of their success. Consistent in his play at all times and vigilant in the defense, he was the obstacle which smashed many a dash for the Chinook goal. Coming up the floor occasionally to aid the passing attack, he was always a power on the squad. Sackett is a senior and a veteran of four years on the Chinook squad. BURNELL NOYES, Guard Noyes proved a steady and dependable player in the defense when ever called into the play. He was one of the useful men among the reserves because he cf3uld b depended on to play a ccol defensive game whenever called into action. He is a junior and this is his second year on the squad. 4r May. 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 39 FRANKLIN OVERCAST. Forward Montana all state forward, Overcast was high scorer on the Sugarbeeter squad. An accurate shot and extremely speedy. Opposing guards found him most difficult to cover. His work at all times was outstanding and in many years was sensational. He could shoot from a distance or under the basket and made many one hand shots of a spectacular nature. Overcast is a Senior and has played two years on the squad with two years in Missouri previously. WALLACE ZIMMERMAN. Forward Cook heady player, Zim has been a stalwart offensive and defensive player this season. His ball rustling ability, his remarkable handling of the ball and his shrewdness in carrying the attack thru the defense have attracted wide attention. A sure shot under the basket and a great man on the rebounds, he was named alldistrict forward. He was the most versatile of players, dropping back to guard whenever needed or leading the attack when the play turned. Zim has played one year here and two years previously in Minnesota MELVIN CRAWFORD, Guard An aggressive and hard working player, Crawford has been used either at guard or forward as the need arose. Quick on his feet, following the ball closely and covering ground rapidly, he was always in the thick of the fray. Crawford is a senior and has had three years service on the Sugar Beeter squad. ROY NOYES. Forward Active and speedy on the floor, Roy Noyes has filled in the forward position when the regulars were taken out to rest. He is playing his second year with the squad although only a sophomore. The extremely capable material for forwards on the team has given the reserves limited opportunity, but he has shown himself a good shot and a valuable player. + 40 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May, 1930 Sub-District Tournament The tournament opened Wednesday evening, Februaryr 19th, at Chinook. On that evening, the Sugar Beeters met and easily defeated Inverness. 60-9. The next night, Harlem was taken into camp for the third time of the year, by a 48-22 score. By a 40-21 win over Havre, Saturday night, Chinook took the Championship and the right to a chance for the district title. Havre, with one defeat, finished second and Harlem third. The games with their scores were as follows: Harlem 24. Rudyard 19. Havre 67. Joplin 5. Chinook 60, Inverness 9. Hingham 33. Big Sandy 21. Inverness 33, Rudyard 10. Chinook 48, Harlem 22.

The tournament was just barely a financial success, about $100.00 being cleared. Expenses were very heavy and the w’eather w’as disagreeable. Roy Woods of Havre and Bill Snow of Big Sandy officiated in good style. Supt. Shirley of Havre, chairman of the tournament committee, presented the trophies after the championship tilt on Saturday night. These three victories made a total of 23 straight wins for the Orange and Black quint. We had scored 895 points to our opponents 362. District Tournament The North Central basketball tourney was held at Havree, February 27, 28 and March 1st. Chinook, Havre and Harlem represented this sub-district. Great Falls. Stockett and Choteau came from the Fall subdivision and Shelby and Conrad from the “Oils” area. The Sugarbeeter’s squad entered as favorites w’ith Choteau and Havre picked as the next strongest teams. These eight teams met in thirteen fast games to decide who would represent this area at the state tournament later in March. Chinook’s first encounter was on Thursday evening, with the highly touted club from Choteau. The Beeters had little difficulty in taking a 41-11 decision. Loomis, their all-district forward, was held to one field goal. Te next evening Conrad, by virtue of their de- THE SUGARBEETERS—1929-1930 Back row (left to right)—Tcm Richards.

Havre in her sixth encounter with us this season, this time for the championship of the district, changed their style and used a delayed, stalling offense rather effectively! However, by changing to a man-to-man defense, the Orange and Black hooked the game out of the fire and by a 22-12 verdict were proclaimed champions. C. H. S.’s first district title. Havre, after a short rest, was required to return to the floor and battle it out with Choteau for second honors. Displaying a wonderful exhibition of long range shooting, led by Johnson and Hoveland. The Blue Ponies won the right to compete at Bozeman by a 30-20 score. State Tournament The nineteenth annual state basketball tourney was held at Bozeman, sponsored by the State college. March 12. 13. 14. 15. For the first time in the history of the school. Chinook high was there “with bells on.” picked by many as favorites for the state title because of our unblemished string of victories. Havre, winners of second place in the district meet, also represented this area. Chinook’s first tilt was with Gallatin high of Bozeman, considered by many as a “set-up.” Such proved to be the case, the score being 47-26. Overcast and Proctor divided honors with 17 counters each. Many tournament fans were not satisfied with the drawing, which placed Whitefish and Chinook together in the second frame because this meant that one of the best teams in the meet would be eliminated from the finals. Whitefish. a highly-touted team, hadn’t been able to figure out just why they had lost to us on Jan. 18. at Chinook. They knew that there was something amiss and they were willing to prove such at Bozeman. But again “something” must have been “wrong;” for they took the count again. 30-23. in a thrilling scrap that fans at the college won’t forget for some time. Chinook’s third tussle was with the “Hill-Toppers” from Mount Saint Charles of Helena. However, Overcast’s long-range running made the game a futile attempt for the Saints” and again the count was to our advantage, 25-11. (Cou'rtcsy Great Falls Tribune and Assoc. Press) Bozeman. March 15—“Coming from behind, in as thrilling a contest as 19 years of tournament history records. Chinook high school, unbeaten all season. Saturday night won the Montana inter scholastic basketball championship from Wolf Point. The final score was 22-19. In a nerve-wracking classic, where a championship hung on every shot taken in the final quarter, the superb Chinook Sugar Beeters overcame the deadly long-arching of the Wjolf Point Wolves, to take back to a city that had never before had a team in the state interscholastic tournament, the floor crown of Montana. Some 2500 spectators crowded the large State college gymnasium to witness the battle. They went home convinced that the tournament of tumbles was a small city festival.” Wolf Point, taking the tip-off. sank 3 shots from mid-floor in the first 32 seconds of play. They added two more field goals to lead at the end of the quarter. 10-4. At the half, Chinook was still behind. 17-12. By the end of the third period, Chinook had forged ahead 20-19. Overcast looped a beautiful long side shot thru the nets in the final frame and that settled the scoring. Score by Quarters: Wolf Point. ...................... 10 17 19 19 Chinook ........................... 4 12 20 22 Two Chinook men. Overcast and Proctor, were selected on the all-state team as forward and center. Havre, who traveled to Bozeman with Coach Horn’s squad were eliminated by Livingston and Lewistown and after that spent their time rooting for Chinook. Trophies were presented immediately after the championship game to the winners of the first eight places. Chinook received a beautiful silver basketball, natural size and a blanket banner. Also, each man received individual gold medals and Overcast and Proctor were presented with “Bobcat” all-state medals. Little Harry McCabe led the team on the floor each day and as usual made his shots good. John Dick, trainer, accompanied the squad and kept them in good physical condition. Over 100 telegrams of encouragement and congratulations were received from all parts of the state. National Tournament On March 17. Coach Horn received an invitation from the tournament committee of the University cf Chicago, sponsoring the twelfth annual National Interscholastic B. B. tournament. The invitation stated that if we were not able to make the trin. Wolf Point, runners-up at the State meet, would be asked. The climax of the wonderful support which the Sugarbeeters have enjoyed this season was reached when a fund of nearly $2000.00 was raised to send the team to Chicago by donations from fans and friends in the town and throughout the whole state. The money was raised under the direction of a committee of local fans, assisted by the Chinook Opinion. Havre Daily News and Great Falls Tribune. The fans of Chinook naturally were donaters of the largest part of the fund, but Havre and Great Falls business men were very generous. Individuals from all over the state, many of them alumni of Chinook high, sent their private contributions. On March 28, Friday night, the Empire Builder made a special stop here to pick up the team and 42 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May, 1930 fans Chicago bound. Practically the whole town, including Andy’s band of course, was at the station and gave the boys a real send-off. Coach Horn, Capt. Herb Moore, Joe Sackett, Franklin Overcast, Max Proctor, Holly Reser, Burnell and Roy Noyes, Scotty Crawford, Mascot Harry McCabe, Jr., John Dick, trainer. Mr. and Mrs. Harry McCabe and Isabel Griffin, made up the party. Wallace Zimmerman had gone ahead Thursday night so that he could stop over in Minnesota with his folks for a day. Two loyal and enthusiastic student fans, Billy Duke and Vernon Cole, went on ahead on Thursday morning as advance guard—in the caboose of a stock train! The team arrived in Chicago Sunday morning and went out to the south side, near the University, where they ..ook rooms at the Hayes hotel, 63rd St. and University avenue. Later they were moved to a fraternity house, to lessen expenses. On Monday afternoon, the Sugarbeeters had a brief workout on the University floor, where their style impressed sports-writers and spectators. The newspapers rated them as one of the best seven teams at the tourney and the best team to como out of the Northwest in several years. Chinook’s first encounter w'as with Central Catholic high, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Tuesday April 1, at 1:00 P. M. Indiana is supposed to be one of the leading basketball states, so naturally any team from there can be rated as good. However, Fort Wayne— the first Indiana team to come to Chicago since 1921, wasn’t a state champion. They didn’t compete in the state tournament but asked for an invitation to play at Chicago, and because of their good record, were granted it. The Beeters took the lead from the start and w?ere never in danger. They rushed the easterners off their feet in the first half with a 23-5 score. In the last half, however, Chinook changed style and played a slow breaking game, which wrorked effectively, making a total count of 35-12. Zimmerman, Proctor and Overcast poured the ball in from all angles. Sackett, fouled by the eastern style of refereeing, wras counted out in the first quarter. Zim took his guard and Reser took the forward position. Coach Horn ran in the Noyes brothers and Crawford in the last quarter. Fort Wayne and Chinook ware tw o of the four teams that would have to play one more game than the others in order to get into the finals. We had to play tw o games to get in the second round of play, while the others had to play one. Corinth, Kentucky and Linsly. Wheeling, West Virginia, were the other two. Immediately following our game, Corinth defeated Linsly 24 to 15 and w ere scheduled to play us Wednesday night at 8:00 o’clock. In Corinth’s first game they didn’t try a long shot, but worked in for short shots. In our game they played just the other way around. Proctor and Overcast sunk 3 field goals before Kentucky scored. The score at the 1st quarter was 10-4. Their center had the jump on Proctor, however, and they soon learned to take advantage of that fact, controlling the ball most of the time. They climbed into a 13-14 lead at half time. Chinook fought them nip and tuck until midway in the third quarter. At that time they started a barrage of long shots that was deadly. They couldn’t miss, even from mid-floor. In the last frame as a last resort, the Sugarbeeters charged to a man-to-man style but even that couldn’t stem the tide. To make a long, sad story short, the final score was 35-20 in the Kentuckians favor, our first and only defeat of the year. That eliminated us, the tournament being run in two parts, major and consolation. The losers of the first round of the tourney went into the consolation, w'hile winners advanced to the second round of the major. One defeat in the major meant elimination then. It w’as a good deal of “consolation” when Fort Wayne, whom wre had defeated easily, went thru that end of the tournament to take first place. And you can bet it gave us a lot of satisfaction when Corinth won third place in the major tournament. They were beaten by Jena, La. in a close game, which some say should have been Corinths. Athens, Texas winners in 1929, retained their title when they defeated Jena, 22-16 in the championship game. Never before has a state w’on the tournament in two successive years, let alone one school. Anyone who has seen them in action can easily understand the reason for it, for without a doubt they are superior to anything in the United States. The Sugarbeeters had a wonderful trip and had a “keen” time, even if they did taste the Dregs of defeat. They visited many of the city attractions, big buildings and manufacturing plants, shows, etc. We sure sun burned our tonsils too-—and we wrant to thank every fan in the town and surrounding tow’ns, who made this wonderful trip possible for us. + ; Organizations + May, 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 45 THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is made up of twelve members elected from the Junior and Senior high school.

The Commercial girls, under the supervision of Miss Clark put cut the “Commercial World,” a paper for the commercial department only. About the middle of 1923, Miss Clark suggested that the commercial department put out a paper for the entire school. “The Student Voice' was chosen as the name for the paper and Aina Olson was elected the first editor. On February 25, 1924 the first issue appeared. From then until 1928 the paper was mimeographed. In 1928 a Newswriting class was started under the supervision of Mr. Julian. On January 23, the first issue appeared, our first printed paper. Throughout the year the paper appeared regularly every Monday. Mabel Tanberg was the editor with several assistants from the Senior and S-phomore classes. In 1929 the paper continued under the management of the Newswriting class, with Isabel Griffin as editor. This year the paper has been under the supervision of Miss Lund, Miss Baur and Mrs. Leonard. Dorothy Blackstone was appointed editor by the Senior class with Zelpha Harshman as assistant editor, Bill Duke and Burnell Noyes as advertising manager, and Wallace Zimmerman as circulation manager. Several Juniors were appointed as reporters, and later in the year the position of advertising manager was given to James Staff and Dale Culbertson. The paper increased in size from four pages to six pages, but was issued only once a month. The staff of the paper are getting no credits for their work, but are willing to help keep up the school paper. May the classes coming up have the same spirit!

J:hn Brinkman was elected president and Bill Skillen. treasurer. Since 1928 Mr. Bowen has acted as sponsor cf the club. The class has continually grown until its membership now reaches forty. The Ag club has proved a more lively oganiza-tion the last few years due to the many new activities carried. In 1928-29 the first annual Ag club party was given and proved a great success. A stock judging team was sent to Bozeman composed of James Staff. Everett Watkins. Melvin Crawford and Mcnroe Tanberg. James Staff was elected president this year and Melvin Crawford secretary and treasurer. 1929-30 has been the biggest year in Ag club May. 1930 THE CHINOOK BREEZE 47 history.

Aside from all this the Ag class has joined the Future Farmers of America and will be known by that name from now on. The F. F. A. is a national organization of boys taking vocational agriculture. More interest is being taken in the F. F. A. each year and we believe this interest will continue to grow. GLEE CLUB In the fall of 1921, the Girls’ Glee club was organized tinder the supervision of Miss Jones and Mrs. Williams. From that time until now'. Mrs. Williams has been in charge cf the Girls’ Glee club. This year on account of the large enrollment. Mrs. Williams found it necessary to divide the Glee club into Junior and Senior sections.

Last year the glee club staged the operetta, The Wishing Well,” a play which took us to a happy care-free Irish home. This year the operetta, “The Quest of the Gypsy for a Cook. takes us to Bohemia, the land of the gypsies. The first act, written by the Senior Glee club, opens with a group of recent girl graduates from the famous cooking school in Boston, who have decided to spend their vacation in Bohemia. The second act show' the girls in Bohemian dress as gypsies. While on their vacation they met-t a gypsy, who is looking for a cook. His gypsy followers. having refused him the privilege of returning home until he succeeds in finding a cook, are greatly surprised when he returns with a cook for himself and one for each of his followers. The scene ends in great rejoicing, and a triumphal chorus. 50 THE CHINOOK BREEZE May, 1930 CALENDAR Sept. 2—School opens with largest enrollment in its history. Pupils register.

Instead of the usual “scramble” on the schoolhouse lawn, committees were chosen from the three upper classes to decide on a plan of initiation. Eleanor McCaffrey. Evelyn Leonard and Grace Peterson were at the head of these committees. It was finally decided to hold the affair in the gymnasium and some sixty freshmen were gathered in the high school building to await their fate. The leary-barefooted ninth graders were lead through the gym door, blindfolded, over a live wire plate. Screams and shocks galore! Prepared for almost anything now. they were taken over to be tcssed up in a sheet, supervised by eight sturdy boys. Jumping on tacks, branding, and numerous other frightening, but harmless, tactics were used as part of the evening’s fun. One of the most memorable features of the evening was Mr. Horn’s proposal to Miss Ellison. After a wild search for lost shoes, the ninth g aders were declared real sports and honest-to-goodness-Freshmen at last, and with the rest of the u;h ol. ere treated with ice creom lolly pops. They sat alone on the davenport And she murmured in one big ear, I know I’ve traveled a lot too fast.

This year, under the direction of Mrs. Zimmerman and Mr. bowen, the Juniors carried out a most successful and original affair. The gymnasium was decorated like a ship, in blue and white. Life savers, with the ship’s name, success, were scattered around the deck to assure the passengers of a safe voyage. Max Proctor, president of the Junior class, and Captain of the ship, assured his guests of a quiet crossing. The guests were then fead up a gang-plank to the deck, where three long tables were placed in readiness for the banquet.

Freshmen gobs, in white sailor trousers and shirts, secured the plates through portholes and served the guests. The menu was: Scalloped corn, scalloped potatoes, creamed chicken, salad, rolls, ice cream and cake, and coffee. A gob dance by Katherine O’Brien. The Juniors “Farewell Song, to the Seniors, and a couple of sailor songs by the Freshmen girls made up a very delightful program. Ten Sophomore boys were invited to the prom to make up for the shortage of boys and they came directly after the banquet. During the grand march, the dance programs were handed out. The dances were cleverly named after sea symbols; such as “The Squall” and “The First Relief (which was ladies choice)” and The Sailors Delight.” The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and drinking punch and eating the life savers which were passed out during the course of the dance. The ship looked very much like a beautiful flower garden with its dimmed lights, flowers and prom girls scattered throughout its decks. He (gazing fondly at his newly acquired fiance) Did the girls like your ring?” She: “H”mm they not only admired it, but two of ’em recalled where they’ed seen it before.
