THE CHINOOK BREOHSZB 19 May. 1932 President’s Proclamation I. as president of the Senior class, do herebv establish this twenty-third day of May. a day of thanksgiving and of joy. We bid yon welcome to help us celebrate this great day. which marks the accomplishment of twelve long years of labor. We wish to thank our parents, who have so conscientiously guided us through the trials of youth. You have given us our ideals and aspirations. O.ir tumbles were your troubles and we appreciate your aid in solving them. We thank our teachers for their patience in the class room. They have not only tried to give us our book knowledge, but they have strengthened our characters, and have given us an insight into the nobler things of life. We thank our friends who have lightened our moments of sorrow and have given us solace In times of despair. They have accompanied us on all our delightful adventures and shared with us their happiness. And now in return for what we have received, we are determined to live up to your expectations. We must square our shoulders and be ready for whatever life holds for us, as we leave Chinook High. It is our sincere desire to bring credit to those who have labored with us. During these twelve years we have gained courage and we will meet every hard knock with a smile as we travel on toward our goal. So for you, who have made this class night possible, we are going to put forth our best efforts to entertain you. You have the right to expect our best efforts, so in the name of the class of 1932, I welcome you. and hope that you will not be disappointed in us. —DALE WATKINS TH£ SENIOR CLASS In the early fall of nineteen twenty-eight, fifty-three young aspirants stood at the foot of the ladder labeled “High School. After a month of getting acquainted, a meeting to elect class officers was held. Helen Jones was chosen president, with Winn Peterson to relieve her. and Kathleen Richmond to care for any extra money we might have. Miss Lin-dell and Mrs. Zimmerman helped to conduct this, and all other meetings, peaceably. Contrary to custom, we “freshies were not initiated into the mysteries of high school life. Instead, we were left to shift for ourselves. We were really quite grateful for this breach of custom. Participation in many activities show that talent was not lacking, altlhough Freshmen are not usually considered equal in any way to their upper classmen. Our boys’ quartette, composed of Frank Lott, Winn Peterson. Blake Sheppard and Val Dowen, entertained at various social functions of the year. Winn is still one of our number. At the “C” club Carnival in 1929, the attendants elected Julia Nolan “Princess of the Carnival.” Winn Peterson and Alice Easbey took part in “The Wishing Well a glee club operetta under the direction of Mrs. Williams, in which ordinarily only Juniors and Seniors partici- pated. A goodly number of our class was admitted to the Dramatic club also. Roy Noyes, Verlon Cox, Herbert Moore and Deified Brinkman went out for track. Roy Noyes, Verlon Cox, Herbert Moore. Delfred Brinkman, Jake Redekop and Everette Watkins went out for basketball. Herbert was a regular on the team, while Cox and Roy Noyes were substitutes. With Roy Noyes, Verlon Cox. Vernon Cole, and Herbert Moore out for football. Vernon Cole made the first team. The next fall we stood on the first rung, looking expectantly yet higher up the ladder to the goal. We were no longer Freshmen, but had not been advanced to the enviable position of the high-hat Juniors or that of the dignified Seniors, and, you may be sure, were treated as inferiors. Mrs. Bowen and Mr. Horn were our sponsors this year. This time it fell upon Alice Easbey, with the help of Reginald Sundin and Kathleen Richmond, to lead us wisely and well. Two picnics, in which both Freshmen and Sophomores parlicipataed, broke the monotony of school studies this year. During our Sophomore year, from our ranks came Herbert Moore, a regular, and Verlon Cox and Rov Noyes, substitutes on the Montana State Champion Basketball team of 1929-30. Herbert was also a track man, receiving second place for the half-mile, in the State Track meet at Missoula in 1930. At the end ot his Freshman year he was given the additional honor of being elected captain of the basketball team for 1929-30. Edna Markholm and Rosa Runnion joined us this year. Rosa was our representative to the Student Council. When school next opened, we were happy Juniors, striving even harder to attain that goal of graduation and success beyond. From the beginning, we had planned for th : Junior Prom, in honor of the Seniors. Dues were accordingly assessed and plans went forward undar the supervision of Miss Willsey and Mr. Bowen. We shall always remember the happy days of our Junior year, with our “Venetian Nights and other activities. Mr. Burney’s speech on St. Mark’s Cathedral gave us an inspiration for more determined efforts, in order to be classed as a credit to Chinook High School. Even the Seniors admitted that we “kne.v how to put it over. We had learned by this time that “things are not what they seem. This was particularly true at the time of the class light with the Seniors. Mr. Burney put a stop to such goings-on before any damage had been done. A tug-of-war took its place. The Seniors, though of lesser numbers, were victorious. Early in the year we received our class rings, which we displayed with much pride. Verlon Cox was our able president, with Rosa Runnion as vice- president, and Dale Watkins as treasurer. In order to be assured of having Miss Willsey as sponsor our Senior year, we unanimously signed a petition to that effect at the end of this term. When we seasoned veterans met again, we stood
