CLASS MOTTO 'Not at the Top But Climbing7 COLOR BLUE AND GOLD FLOWER WHITE CARNATION Betty Wilcox Allie M. Umsted Eva Cowan Shirley Ryan Dick Stam Hovic Students Among: the students of C. H. S. we have ten students who rank high from the Junior and Senior classes. These people have taken part in many activities and worked as much for the school as possible. Because of their fine work a banquet was given on April 22, in which each student on the Honor Society participated. The girls’ chorus furnished part of the entertainment for the evening. Shirley Ryan received her Honor Society award at Kirkland. Washington last year. Betty Wilcox of the Senior class was chosen representative of the Assinaboine Chapter of the D. A. R. She competed in the State Contest. Betty was chosen for her dependability, leadership, service, and patriotism for her country and school. As 1944’s Valedictorian and Salutorian, Eva Cowan and Helen Monson carried the honors. 'The Class histoiij 1940-41 1941-42 1942-43 1943-44 On the beautiful morning of September fourth, our class, the class of “44”, entered the portals of good old C. H. S. Yes, this new bunch of 4 grccnies” was here for four jears, and no longer—we hoped. The upperclassmen did their utmost to get the best of us during the year and at initiation; however, to our surprise, went through the year and carried very few scars. Our president duing this trying year was Arthur Rusch and Mr. Hagen was sponsor. We entered school the next fall anticipating the day of initiation as much as we dreaded it the year before. When this great day finally arrived we did all in our power to carry out the duty of working over the freshmen. Led by Steve Minnow as president and Mr. Dooley as sponsor we finished our duties of the year and went on to junior territory. Here we were at the half-way mark of our high school work, and, being anxious to go on, we elected Dick Stam as president and Mr. Schei as sponsor. Our play was “Don’t Take My Penny” and it drew a large crowd, with the revenue from the play we put on the prom. Having gone this far we saw no reason to turn back so we continued on as seniors. At last! Here we are in the exalted position of seniors. Our activities during the year were many but the most outstanding were The Home Frontcrs” our senior play and the editing of this annual. Our government consisted of Don Stienmetz as president, advised by Mr. Bowen. Born ....Au . 1, 1926 .. ....April 30, 1926 Dec. 14, 1926 . .. April 12, 1926 .

Stam, founder of the Stam Clinic in Chinook, has recently announced his candidacy for president of the United States at his party’s convention in Chicago. Dr. Stam thinks he has a good chance of success, since he feels tha the country will not want Mr. Roosevelt for a tenth term. Dorothy Chapman, who you will remember as “Miss America” of 1945, is now a world famous model for a large clothing store in New York-City.

Dorothy Kruse is now heard over the radio as Ma Perkins. These soap operas last forever, don’t they. Masato H aye taka is a truck farmer near San Francisco. After years of experimenting he has succeeded in crossing bananas and apples. The “banapple” is high in vitamin content and also serves as a model for this year’s Easter bonnets.

Mr. Hagen was chosen as our sponsor After many sleepless nights and considerable hazing by the Sophomores the terrible day arrived—Initiation. The Sophomores were merciless but we endured it. Bob “Murph” Olsen and Barbara Ross represented us in the Student Council. Finally, after a year of toil, we were Sophomores. At last—sweet revenge, we put on the initiation. This was well done. As Student Council representatives for this year we had Barbara Ross and Warren Ross. At last we reached the third year of our journey. The responsibilities of putting on the Junior Play and the Junior Prom lay with us. To lead and advise us this year we chose Mr. Schei. Our play, “Double Exposure” afte. a good deal of work (? ?) and a lot of fun was ready to be presented. Monday evening, Feb. 21 this was done.

Their number was about 75, but it soon dwindled down to about 65. At a class meeting the following officers were elected: president, Richard Edgington; vice-president, Joyce Thompson, and secretary-treasurer, Iola Skoyen. As our sponsor we chose Mr. MacDonald. On initiation day we were thankful that there were so many of us, because the sophomores couldn’t do much to each one of us. That same night the sophomores gave the Freshman Mixer, which was a great success. Freshmen were active in school activities. A large number of girls joined the Betty Lamp Lighters Club. Doris Peterson and Beverly Jamieson were the only Freshmen in the band, although most of the girls and some of the boys belonged to the Glee Clubs. We were represented on the football team by Gordon Michalson and Don Harshman. Gordon Michalson, Don Harshman, and Rex Wadsworth played on the basketball team. Later in the year, when Mr. MacDonald went to the Navy, Miss Hunt agreed to be our sponsor for the rest of the year. ajra At T r 7A Lower—Dick Stam, Betty Wilcox, Helen Monson, Lucille Johnson. 2nd Row— Jack Heibert, Helen Holmes Mary Overcast, Mary Williams, Haynes Gearheart, 3rd Row—Betty Butler, Chuck Niebauer, Warren Ross, Harriet Bums, tyudent Council Vice President PRESIDENT Dick Stam Secretary Treasurer Betty Wilcox Lucille Johnson Helen Monson SENIOR CLASS Representatives JUNIOR CLASS Charles Neibauer Warren Ross Betty Butler Helen Holmes SOPHOMORE CLASS FRESHMAN CLASS Haynes Gearheart Jack Hiebert Harriet Bums Mary Overcast Mary Williams Advisor, Miss Zerr Student Council took part in school activities, sponsoring of school dances, selling of War Bonds and Stamps, and the conducting of home rooms.

Hlamp Hicjhtels The Betty Lamp Lighters is the local unit of the American Home Economics Association. They organized in the fall of 1942 and chose the name of the Betty Lamp Lighters which signifies their national emblem, the Betty Lamp. Miss Landau is the club’s sponsor and the officers are as follows: President, Edith Sasaki; Secretary, Pearl Cohrs; Treasurer, Madonna Brandon. The club, through the initiative of its members, worked itself into one of the school’s leading organizations. Two of the members. Rosalie Mueller and Pearl Cohrs, earned a club pin which is authorized and awarded to a member on the obtaining of two hundred and fifty points. The club colors are yellow and white, emblems of wisdom and purity which have been carried out in the decorations of the local group. There are now thirty-six active members. As a main work project, they have the production of Red Cross articles. Their motto is “As Our Girlhood, So Shall Our Womanhood Be.” Lower—Phillip Casteel, E.

The Chapter has a large number of projects under way for this year and the prospects are very good for another successful year. [yenic’i Glass Play “The Home Fronters” is a lively farce in three acts telling of the troubles of an American family in wartime. The Potters get into trouble by befriending a girl during a blackout, she calls herself Sandra Shaw. She tells them that she is on her way to the capital, she is supposedly a government agent being persued by a spy. Joseph Crowder, who they believe to be the spy, enters looking for the girl and is overpowered by the Potters. They then discover that the girl is a spy and Joseph is the real government agent. In the meantime, Lieutenant Diane comes home and tells Pvt. Earl Thomas that she can not marry him as he is now below her in rank. Peggy also is fifteen pounds underweight and can not get in the marines. Everything ends up all right, however; as Mr. Crowder, with the help of Earl Thomas, captures the spy. As a result of his help to Mr. Crowder, Pvt. Thomas gets a commission which enables him to marry Diane. Peggy finds that she can get in the marines after all, and the whole family regains prestige in the community again. The cast was as follows: The Potter family: Herbert—Inventor and engineer ....... P'rancine—Herb’s wife ............... Diane—A lieutenant in the WAC ....... Grandma—Herb’s riveting mother ...... Peggy—A candidate for th marines ... Sissy—The youngest daughter .........

The organization has held a number of practice sessions in the auditorium and the gymnasium as well as sponsoring short pep assemblies for the whole high school. These assemblies were given to boost the school spirit for various football and basktball games and tournaments. The team was introduced to the assembly and yells were lead by our yell leaders. On the whole the pep club of 1943-44 has had a successful year, although we are hoping for more student participation and a peppier school spirit next year. tyoAJ Ute 'IfeJMi Black Orange fight fight Black Orange fight fight Who fight?

Let’s hope they turn out again next year. unioi Piom After weeks of anticipation and feverish preparation, the day of the Junior Prom dawned. There was a general air of excitement around the school and even the town noticed it. At nine o’clock that evening the Top Hatters opened the dance by playing “In an Old Dutch Garden,” for the Grand March. The beautifully dressed girls and handsome boys made a charming picture against the gyn-r.asium which looked like a different world with its streamers of pastel shades for the walls and ceiling, and its two Dutch windmills on each side of the orchestra. The punch bowl was in the form of a wishing well and was much patronized by the younger generation. Tht Senior class, the faculty and the school board members with their wives were invited to this dance which is always one of the most enjoyable and worth while dances of the year. Qlieei Headers Janet Ehlang Rowena Renda Dona Johnson baccalaureate On May 14, 1944, the Senior Class assembled in the high school auditorium to hear a sermon by Reverend V. C. Boe.

There were several contests, a peanut race, ice cream eating contest, worm eating contest (spaghetti soaked in castor oil). The last one was a string chewing contest, the contestants being Maureen Overcast and Mary Yamamoto. There was a piece of candy at the middle of the string. A number of poor frosh were continually crawling up and down the r.isle from the water fountain to the stage in a futile attempt to fill a bucket with water. Their only way of carrying the water was in their mouths. The costumes were varied and ridiculous, many girls being dressed as boys and visa versa. Long underwear seemed to be the vogue and lipstick was used, though not on the lips alone. Of one thing we are positive—tha: is that all the freshman wished that they had stuffed their clothes with pillows. The Student Voice is written by the American Literature classes, under the dirction of Mrs. Ryan . Editors for the first semester were Rowena Renda and Pearl Cohrs for the second semester, Ruth Neibauer and Harriet Bums. Sports editors were Donald Steinmetz and Rosalie Mueller. The classes were divided into several departments such as Sports, Social Events, Assemblies, departments and Fun. The paper is written on Monday of each week and published on Thursday by the two local papers, The Chinook Journal and The Chinook Opinion. The grade school presented their Christmas program to the High School on December 21 and to the public on the 22nd. The program consisted of an operetta, “Santa’s Toy Shop”, by the lower grades, and two pantoniines and “A Modern Christmas”, by the Junior High. Several song groups sang between the acts and the Junior High Chorus sang carols before and after the program. All agreed that the program was unusually well presented and was a credit to the pupils taking part and to the teachers who directed it.

The main part of our team was composed of lower classmen with only three graduating boys, Dick Stam, Angus McPherson and Joe Sagami. The squad was not the customary 22 players but 18. Despite the lack of manpower the boys showed courage, determination, and remarkably fine sportsmanship all through the season. In their first game the Sugarbeeters met a very strong Malta team and were defeated 39 to 0. The score, however, does not present a true picture of the game. Actually our team gained more yardage than the Mustangs but two fumbles on our 10 and 15 yard line and a pass intercepted were the main scores for the opponents. Several weeks later the Beeters traveled to Fort Benton for their second game of the season. The two teams were evenly matched and neither could do much, but in the first quarter Fort Benton punted over the Chinook goal line, where a Chinook man took the ball and was tackled behind his own goal line to give Fort Benton a 2 to 0 lead which they held for the remainder of the game. The next game of the season was played with the Havre Colts- who although small were full of fight. In the first quarter the Havre boys pushed over a touchdown to make the score Havre G Chinook 0. In the second quarter the Chinook boys uncorked their offensive and for the remainder of the game held Havre scoreless. The game ended Chinook 13, Havre 6. In the final game of the season against these same Havre boys, the Chinook team started early to pile up a 20 to 0 lead. In the second half the Chinook lads seemed to lack the scoring punch and the game ended Chinook 20, Havre 0. The squad dedicates these pages to Coach MacDonald for his untiring efforts to keep the sport alive in our school and we truly wish him the greatest success in the years to come.

H IQlfc'lflf basketball fiiste i j The opening: game of the season was against St. Pauls Mission, whom the Beeters downed 47 to 30 in a hard rough game. The next game was against the Turner Tornadoes This game was more or less of a massacre with Jensen and Sagami running wild in the score column. The game ended 52 to 17 for Chinook . We now find the Beeters up against the highly rated Cut Bank team. Although C. H. S. lost this game they really played the best basketball they had played so far. Score, 35-26. Probably the most exciting game of the season was the Chinook-Big Sandy game played in Chinook on Jan. 7. The first quarter ended 6 to 5 in C. H. S.’s favor; at the half it was 13 to 9 ir Sandy's favor; third quarter was 17-16 also in Big Sandy’s favor. The final score was 24-22 in our favor. Jan. 10, was the fatal Havre-Chinook game, in which the Ponies romped over us to the tune of 71 to 21. Enough said. Chinook met their old rivals, Harlem, on the 18th of Jan. and very definitely out played them. Chinook won 40 to 27. The Beeters next journeyed to Malta and engaged a very classy, fastpassing Mustang quint. After a very hard fought game, Chinook downed them 28 to 24. The boys slaughtered Hogeland by a figure like 58 to 10, which was our highest score of the season. Chinook next engaged Big Sandy at Sandy and from there on out our luck changed. The Beeters dropped this game 48 to 31. C. H. S. fell to Chester 49 to 20 on Chester’s floor. This was the first game of the trip west to Chester, Cut Bank and Shelby. Shelby squeezed out a victory 43 to 30 after the Beeters had played right with them for the first three quarters. The final game of the Western trip was played at Cut Bank. This was not much of a game, being definitely Cut Bank’s all the way through. Score, 48 to 19. At Harlem the Beeters played a return game with Harlem them 30-19. This game broke Chinook’s four game losing streak. , defeating Havre traveled to Chinook for a return game and again romped over the Beeters. This game wras not quite as bad as the first one with Havre. Score, 52 to 19 for Havre. The Beeters return game with Malta did not go so well. C. H. S. was at the short end of a 50-30 count.
