It has accomplished several important projects during the past year. One of the major issues of the year was to promote bigger and better-attended dances. A Dancing School was proposed and accepted; it proved successful in its aim. Sevral successful dances were sponsored throughout the year, one of the best being the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance on March 22. The Student Council undertook the publication of the Student Voice, for the school year. School assemblies also were promoted and general school spirit elevated. The Student Council has done a commendable job.

We bravely took the initiation given us by the tough Sophomores. For our class leaders we chose J. T. Butler as president, Haynes Gearheart as vice-president, Grace Anderson as secretary-treasurer and Mrs. Crockett as sponsor. 1943-1944 Back to C. H. 3. again. As Sophomores we did the honors and initiated the Freshman class. Mrs. Crockett was again our sponsor and class officers were: president, John Rusch; vice-president, Dorothy Modic; and secretary-treasurer, Neil Summers. Here many of us starred jn scholarship, athletics and music. 1944-1945 C. H. S. welcomed us again, as Juniors. Our major projects this year were putting on the Junior Prom and the presentation of the Junior class play. Both were very successful affairs. Again there were stars among us in the different activities. Our sponsor was Mr. Denny and class officers were: Russell Unruh, president; Dick Lott, vice-president; and Pearl Cohrs, secretary-treasurer. 1945-1946 We eagerly entered C. H. S. this year as we were Seniors and graduation was within sight. We were very active this year in all activities. We presented the Senior Play and edited this Annual. For our sponsor we chose Mr. Bowen and other elections were as follows: president, Burvii Harshman; vice-president, Frankie Norberg; and secretary-treasurer, Harriet Burns. Class Will Class of 1946 To the Chinook High School at large we bequeath the item which we have in greatest abundance and which is most needed by the student body—our entire stock of common sense, along with that, all the remainder of our intellectual tools, such as text books, pencil stubs, scrap paper, etc., and with this secret—that all the pages in our books containing hard problems and large assignments were torn out and rightfully taken care of in the most honorable manner. To the laculty we give a vote of thanks and confidence for the struggles that they have gone through to thoroughly train us for the cold cruel world and with our compliments, they may take over the school now. To the Juniors we sincerely bestow the right to use our old books even if they have our names on. To them also, we leave our senior dignity—may they absorb it, our extraordinary good looks and sublime conceit, our class spirit, and our ability to accomplish anything we undertake, and last but not least, our seats in assembly—occupy them, b_i do not try to fill them. To the Sophomores, we bequeath all our laughs and giggles, our unsolved puzzles, tardy and absence slips, and also one-third of our dignified bearing, and anything else of ours that is left and that the Juniors haven’t taken. To the Freshmen we bestow all our athletic ability so they will not have the handicap of entering high school with nothing, all of our extra credits, and our wonderful intellectual powers which have brought us to our present enviable position.

Alas! the stories the students hear are the same. Ethel has the only known copy of a book Miss Zerr wrote, entitled, “Did I Ever Tell You About The Time.” MARIETTA CHAPMAN finally found her personality was paying, she landed the handsome Mosser lad for keeps. “They are now raising prize hogs on the Mosser farm.” PEARL COHRS I suppose you’ve all heard of the “Crowded Breezy Country Club?” It was organized by Pearl, and some of the best known teas in Social life are given there, organized by none other than Pearl also includes a zoological expedition that tramps through the Montana bad lands in search of fossils. ROY COX is now running an exclusive line of barber shops from New York to San Francisco.

Powers, she is helping her husband choose the models. “They can’t seem to find any who come to the same measurements as Caroline.” SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) STANLEY FUNK and ROSALIE MUELLER finally got together and tied the knot.

So far he has taught everyone ol them an “Over the Shoulder Pass” at the ripe oiu age of 3 months. ROBERT HIEBERT, Lo and behold, Bob decided women were of absolutely no use in this world so he has forsaken all of them. “He is now living the life of a hermit in a cave in the Rockie Mountains.” ARLENE HOLMES is now selling the new curlers called “Sure Curl With Every Twirl”. She demonstrates on Saturday nights only and even at that has turned out to be quite some competition for Lai ra’s Beauty Shop. HELEN JACOBSEN decided she w’ould become a writer and at present she is receiving mighty royalties from her book “Scientific Facts About Gravel Gertie”. Which is very enlightening. MERLIN JENSEN finallly got tired of this on again and off again business with Mary Loraine. They are now settled across from Mabel’s with an ideal little family of eighteen. BETTY KUHR, AILEEN HALL and OLIVE SLONAKER moved to the coast to live with their Admiral husbands.

He is now Hollywood’s Horror Man, taking the place of old Boris Karloff. TATftUMA MATSUOKA is now Dr. Tats of the “Too much poundage causes too much Roundage” clinic for overweight women. Tats has really turned out some lovelies too. SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY (Continued) DOROTHY MODIC now runs an accordian shop where the Sweet Shop used to he, I guess business isn’t so good, as she and Lawrence Siemens are the only ones for miles around who own accord;ans. BETTY NESS finally decided Chinook was too large a place for her and moved to Savoy. Montana, the is the sole owner of the “Coffee Cup”. A charming little place really, but no one ever goes there. ALICE MAETCHE began flower gardening f.s a hobby and now finds her name in the leading magazines as the producer of America’s most beautiful flowers. She . spends her winters in Montana ana her summers in the soil. JOYCE OLSON won her fame, as the pin-up girl of all the boys aboard an American air-cralt carrier. She recently made the headlines when the whole crew stopped for a visit with her. Chinook saw excitment as the crowds of Gobs made their riotous way to her little white house on the corner. WILLIE PYETTE is the owner of the Rough and Ready Rodio. Bernard Norheim is his business manager and he recently announced this week that Pyette will take his troop to the Inner Most Jungle and really show the natives how to rope and ride. PAUL RAMBERG runs a drive-in restaurant in Florida and receives regular shipments of hamburger from the Brod and Siemens cattle ranch. JOHN RUSCH, John has a famous moustache grooming shop in Chicago. Of course no one ever heard of such a thing before John came along. It didn’t seem to bother him much for he was always Ki.uwn ior originality. ORRIS SEVERSON is now the test driver for Plymouth Company, he tests all new cars before going off the assembly line. He is still saying “Herman hasn’t caught me yet.” JIM and JaCK STEPHENS soon after graduation Jim and Jack moved to Argentina where they are campaigning against President Peron. NEIL SUMMERS is acclaimed as the Freud of our times—and by now his books on psychiatry have his best friends laughing at him. RUSSELL UNRUH that handsome hunk of man is still single and has his friends amazed because of the fact. At least twenty women propose each day—they say Serena sometimes asks him twice a day.

Although many dropped out, we still had a large class after the half-year. For our first year we chose as leaders: Dick Edgington as president and Mary Overcast and Jack Hiebert as Student Council representatives until spring when Gordon Michalson took over in Jack’s place. Like most Sophomores we were much bolder than in our Freshman year, so we gave the Freshmen a good old-fashioned initiation. Mary Overcast led us as president with Don Harshman and Sharon Luckett as Student Council representatives. This year several of the fel'ows were on the main ten in basketball and Richard Wagner was student manager. In 1945 we began our Junior year, and we were now over the half and anxious to reach our goal. Our able leaders were: Don Harshman, president; George Lang, vice president; Virginia Murphy, secretary-treasurer; and Evelyn McPherson and Bob Steinmetz as Student Council representatives. Our main achievements this year were sponsoring the Prom in “Rose Room” theme, and in presenting the Junior Play. Again members of the class ranked high in both basketball and footbail. To help us through this year, we had Mr. Denny as our able sponsor.

Like all other Freshmen we were scared until initiation, after which we elected Dick Thorsen as president, and Miss McGrath as sponsor. We were represented in the Student Council by Barbara Norton, Donna Bowerman and Dick Jacobson. Next fall we returned as Sophomores. Our major achievement was properly initiating the Freshmen.

Many of us. both girls and boys, joined the Glee Clubs, Band, Sports and organized clubs. For our leaders we chose Mrs. Walker as sponsor, Carl Unruh as president; John Hamilton as vice president, and Betty Butcher as secretary-treasurer. In order to have voice in school affairs we chose Larry Jacobson and Donna Sivertsen to represent us in Student Council.

The annual Junior Prom was held on the evening of May 3rd. The gymnasium was beautifully decorated with the theme “Rose Room.” A Grand March was led by the Junior Class President and his date. There was a program between the dances. The Prom has been an occasion for much planning and worrying but it was well worth it and our eleven years wait was well repaid. On December 21st the Junior High and Grade School gave their annual Christmas Program. “Princess Elaine’s Christmas” was presented by the first grades. Ellen Haugen was Princess Elaine, Beverly Gearheart was the Queen, Bob Johnson was the King, and Prince Charming was played by Richard Sheck. Jeanine Tanberg was the violinist. Mrs. Hilda Starcher directed the play. The Junior High sang many of the favorite Christmas carols and a visit from Santa Claus concluded the program. It was the pleasure of the Sophomores of 1946 to initiate the Fresh men into C.H.S. on September 21st. A program in which all Freshmen took part was begun by a crawl down the aisle in which the paddles of the Sophomores took a great part. The initiates were required to perform many clever stunts. All in all it was a day they will remember in the years to come. football lyif-S 1945 “SUGARBEETER” SQUAD—From left to right—1st Row: John Featherstone, Richard Leonard, Willie Pyette, Eiche Moromoto, Frank Norberg, Bob Sheppard.

Dick Lott, Vem Anderson, John Rusch, Gordon Michalson, Roy Cox, John Crockett, Richard Sands, and Coach Zimmerman. Not pictured: Tats Matsuoka. Members of the football team of 1945 can justly feel proud of their season’s work, for although they lost two games, they had a very successful season from every standpoint. The other schools in the Beet-ers district found that the Sugarbeeters had a team that was by no means easy to keep from the goal line. Our team this year was, on the whole experienced, but lacking in weight and size; nevertheless, with the splendid coaching of Bowen and Zimmerman, displayed a stone-wall line and a plunging, hardhitting back field. The Chinook High School mighty little eleven did not let such things as weight and size stand in their way. They used the motto; “The bigger they are, the harder they fall” and they proved it many times. Although they lacked weight, the C. H. S. fo tball team by no means lacked fight, which they showed during the season as they drove for a total of 122 points, while their stone-wall defense held the opponents to only 38 points. This is an average of 24.4 points per game for the Beeters against 7.6 points per game for the opponents. This is truly a satisfactory record for any high school team. Cjlid T lixuf? Because of our loss to the St. Mary’s Mustangs, one of the rarest of grid mixups occurred. In this district there are four teams: Malta, Chinook. Fort Benton, and St. Mary’s. Chinook beat Fort Benton and Malta, but lost to St. Mary’s. St Mary’s, in turn, defeated Chinook and Malta, but failed to beat Fort Benton. And Fort Benton won over Malta and St. Mary’s, but lost to Chinook, thus three teams had the same percentage in wins and losses. The only way the district title could be settled was for each team to play the tie off. In the play-offs, Chinook drew to play Fort Benton at Fort Benton. The C. H. S. Grid Schedule is on the following page. Reasons Record Chinook 13 Chinook 6 Chinook 39 Chinook 53 Chinook 12 Chinook 13—Fort Benton 12 The first game of the season was played at home versus the Fort Benton Longhorns. The Beeters started out in high gear as Boh Sheppard, Beeter full-back, passed to Bob Inman, Beeter end, for the first score of the game. The Beeters scored again in the first quarter when Frankie Norberg, Quarter-back raced around end for the second touchdown. Norberg’s plunge for the extra point was good and the Beeters were leading 13-0 when the quarter ended. In the second quarter, Kenny Scott, Fort Benton’s blonde-blizzard, took the ball on a sweeping end run to tally for the Longhorns. Midway in the third stanza. Kenny Scott again ran for a touchdown, but the extra point failed. Holding a slim one point margin, the tiring Beeter squad momentarily stalled the remaining part of the game. The C. H. S. grid squad definitely out-played last year’s Divisional Champions. Chinook 6—St. Mary’s 13 The Sugarbeeters lost their second game of the season to one of the weakest football elevens in the district, the St. Mary’s Mustangs. The Beeters started out with a bang as Frankie Norberg went through the Mustang line for a touchdown in the first quarter. After leading for three entire quarters, the Beeter eleven finally found themselves backed up against their own goal line. The Mustangs used tricky reverses which the Beeters could not stop. The result was a St. Mary’s touchdown. They failed to corral the extra point and the score stood at a 6-6 deadlock. The Mustangs were soon on the march again as they drove for their second touchdown with the stellar Beeter line trying desperately to stop the tricky Mustang offensive. The Beeter team never gave up until the final whistle had blown. With just a few seconds left to play. Bob Sheppard passed a long pass to Dick Lott, but Dick was tackled before he could reach the goal. Chinook 39—Malta 0 In the third game of the season the Beeters met the always tough Malta Mustangs in a conference battle. The Beeter eleven started out like a house-afire as Frankie Norberg ran through the entire Fort Benton 12 St. Mary’s 13 Malta 0 Havre Colts 0 Fort Benton 13 Mustang line for the first touchdown. From here the game turned into a one-sided rout as the Powerhouse Beeter gridsters rolled over the revamped Malta Mustang eleven—with Bob Sheppard, Don Harshman, Merlin Jensen, and Frankie Norberg scoring time and time again. Chinook 53—Havre Colts 0 A definitely lighter, inexperienced Havre. Colt eleven visited the Beeter City, only to go down to one of the worst defeats in their history. The game was never in doubt as the Beeters’ charging line and hard-hitting backfield worked in unison and scored touchdown after touchdown. Chinook 12—Fort Benton 13 On a muddy, slippery gridiron, the Chinook High School football eleven went down to their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Fort Benton Longhorns. The Longhorns from Fort Benton opened up with everything they had as they drove for their first touchdown. A trick play netted their extra point and Fort Benton led 1-0. The Beeters came back fighting as they smashed their way to the Longhorn 13 yard line. The Fort Benton team dug in and stopped the Beeters cold. The Chinook eleven then took to the air as Bob Sheppard passed a beauty to Bob Inman for a touchoown. The all-important extra point w'as blocked. In the hard-fought second half, the Beeter team rose up with a sudden surge of strength and speed as they blasted their way through the Long horn line for another touchdown. Again the crucial extra point was missed. The battered Longhorn line could not make headway against the Beeter stone wall. But Kenny Scott, Fort Benton back, needed no line, as he sped around the ends for spectacular gains, and finally the winning touchdown. The “Sugarbeeters” had one more game with the St. Mary’s Mustangs to settle the tie. But due to cold weather and basketball season starting, the game was sadly forfieted to St. Mary’s. Chinook '' ucjalheetels” District Champions Runners-up Divisional The Sugarbeeters had a very successful season this year, winning 20 games while losing only 5. They amassed a total of 1447 points for a game average of 27.8. The Beeters started the season by winning 8 successive games before dropping a hard fought 27 to 33 verdict to class “A” Havre. Then two weeks later after dropping two successive games to Shelby and Havre, the Beeters settled down and won 9 straight games before being dumped by St. Mary’s 40-45. One of them being a thrilling 40-41 overtime victory against Saco, Eastern Divisional Champions. Chinook took the sub-district, and a week later defeated their old rivals, the Malta Mustangs, for the second time during the season. The Beeters breezed through the district tournament and a week later, in a previously unscheduled game with Nashua, also district champions, defeated them 51-24. Chinook then entered the divisional tournament and was defeated in their final game of the season for divisional championship by the Shelby Coyotes 53-42. OnclLuUducil Scasie.4.

Back Row: Howard Cohrs, Tom Ruhr. Arthur Wisch, Dale Butcher, Richard Jacobson, TyrU3 Matsuoka. This year, the Beeter Reserves had one of the most successful seasons in many years. Though playing only 7 games with other schools, they played many preliminaries by composing two teams from among themselves. The first real contest was played with Hogeland at Cninook. the score being 36-49 in the Reserves favor. The Beeter Reserves lost their second game to the smooth working Havre Colts, 26-41. In the return game with Hogeland. the Reserves proved again that they were the superior team winning by 32-28. They then were defeated again by the Havre Colts in a close fray, the final score being 29-24. The next two games were played with the Harlem B team. In the first game at Harlem the Reserves missed many set-ups and just couldn’t seem to get going, but they managed to come out on top 31-19. In the return game at Chinook, the Beeter Reserves really opened up their fast attack and never let up until the whistle blew. They definitely proved that they were the better team by a score of 64-23. Last and final game was with Gild-ford, one of the teams representing the western sub-district in the district tournament. The Reserves emerged victorious with a score of 32-14. Many who saw the Reserves play agree that their fast break almost equaled that of the Beeters and was even sometimes better. Many of the Reserve members will be playing with the Beeters next season and we believe that they will be of much help in making another good Beeter team and a victorious season. FRANKIE N ORB ERG—Forward Frankie liked a fast game of basketball and whenever he was in the game, the contest was played to his liking. Frankie played a very fast break and took advantage of it at every opportunity. Although Frankie was short he let no such obstacles as height stand in his way. and he often made it very annoying for his taller opponents. This is Frankie's fourth and final year with the Beeters. As we bid him goodbye, we wish him good luck in the future. Keeping the suits in order, cleaning the basketballs, etc., was the job of the student manager. Richard Wagner was the student manager. This was his second year as manager and he did his job very efficiently and thus made thing easier for the boys on the team. His very fine efforts were thoroughly appreciated by the members of the team. RICHARD WAGNER—Manager BUD HARSHMAN—Center Playing his fourth and final year with the Chinook Sugarbeeters, “Bud” was one of the mainstays of the Beeter Squad. He made the squad in all his four years of high school. Playing at both forward and center he contributed many of the teams points, and was always in there fighting no matter what the score. Bud was fourth high scorer this year, but his value lay just as much in his ability to play a good floor game as well as to score. Through the efforts and guidance of Coach Floyd Bowen, the Boy’s athletic department had another successful year. His untiring efforts in molding a group of boys into one of the besi basketball teams C. H. S. has ever had, is a sample of his fine coaching ability. Last year, due to wartime conditions, C. H. S. was without a coach. Floyd Bowen voluntarily undertook the task and succeeded in turning out two good teams. The boys of C. H. S. are very thankful to Mr. Bowen’s help in time of need. COACH BOWEN MERLIN JENSEN Forward Merlin, also one of the eight Seniors, played all four of his high school years with the Beeters. With his quick starts and high jumping ability, Merlin intercepted many of the opponents passes and dribbled the length of the flooi for scores. Merlin was third high scorer this year and was a valuable asset to the Sugarbeeters. Merlin is also to be congratulated on his fine performances during all four years. Vern was a very dependable player at the guard position. His sudden bullet-like passes into the hole caught the opposite team off guard and resulted in a score for C. H. S. many times. Vern was also a stalwart guard on defense. Vern' quick-thinking ability, which enabled him to intercept many passes, was a great help to the team. Vern played two years with the Beeters and graduates this year. VERN ANDERSON—Guard DICK LOTT—Center Dick was one of the eight Seniors on the team. He was a very dangerous man under the basket and contributed a good portion of the points in every gam ' he played. Dick was second high scorer for the Beeters and hit in all the games of the season but two. In addition to his accuracy on close-ups, Dick was also very good on pivot shots from the hole and et shots from anywhere on the court. This year was his second and last with the Beeters. This is Roy’s third year with the Beeters. Roy was an excellent set shot from the corner. Many tight zone defenses were broken up with the long range effective shooting of Roy Cox. Roy was considered by many as one of the best shots on the team, and he often proved it. Roy is a Senior and will not be back next year. ROY COX—Forward DON HARSH MAN—Guard BOB SHEPPARD—Forward Don played guard and was very capable of filling this position. Don played a very strong defensive game and stopped many scoring attempts of the opponents. With his long arms and larg.' hands, Don grabbed many spectacular rebounds and intercepted passes that would have lead to probable baskets. Don scored in all of the season’s games but two, and you could always count on him coming through when the chips were down. Don will be back to help bolster the Beet-er attack next year. Although he is a Senior, John played only one previous season with the Beeters. Playing at either guard or forward, depending upon where he was needed, he played heads-up ball all the time he was in the game. He was exceptional!:, accurate on long shots, which accounted for a good share of the team’s points. John is a Senior and will graduate this year. JOHN CROCKETT—Guard This was Bob’s last season with the Beeters. He will be sorely missed next season, as he was the team’s high scorer this season. He also hit in every game but one, at which time he was sick. Bob played a very strong defensive game as well as on offensive. His one-handed long shots accounted for many of the Beeters tallies. This was Bob’s second year with the Beeters, and he is to be congratulated on his fine performances. Bob graduates this year and plans on enlisting in the Navy. “Mike” was one of the most clever ball handlers on the team. His clever passing and quickthinking accounted for many of the set-ups received by his team mates. Mike was always in the thick of the frav and no matter what the odds he was in there fighting all the time. This is Mike’s third year with the Beeters, and he will be back to help old Chinook High School “win em” next year.

Although the Hawks were pitching all the time they were definitely no match for the Championship bound Beeters. Chinook’s second game of the tournament was with the Harlem Wildcats who also won in the first round of the event. The Wildcats started out the game with an entirely different offensive then they had ever used against the Beeters before. They managed to hold the Beeters down to a slim 6-5 lead at the quarter and a 15-7 lead at the half. Then the Beeters in the second half finally began to roll and outscored the underdog, Harlem Wildcat team 35 to 16 to more than prove that they were the better team, winning by a score of 50-23. , easons Cjames Championship Game The Beeters win over Harlem advanced them into the championship against the Pioneers of Big Sandy. This was the best game of the tournament and was anybody’s up until the final whistle blew. Although the Beeters led all through the game they were never more than four points ahead at any quarter. The final score was 33-32 for Chinook. District The first game of the district tournament for the Beeters was with Rudyard. Rudyard in previous years has often proved to be a Jinx to Chinook, but not so in this game. The Sugarbeeters settled down to work from the word go and never stopped until they came out on top 57-22. In the semi-finals Chinook was matched against the Inverness Cardinals. The Beeters held only a slim 6-2 lead at the quarter and a 17-6 lead at half time. Finally in the third quarter they found the range and hit the hoop for 21 points. They glided through the last quarter to win 50-19. Championship After winning their first two games of the district tournament the Sugarbeeters advanced into the finals against the Big Sandy Pionners. This was the fourth time that these two teams had met this season with Chinook coming out on top at all occasions. The Beeters were out for th crown, and they were not to be stopped by the Pioneers. Although Big Sandy played hard they just simply couldn’t keep up with the Beeter’s clicking combinations, and Chinook blazed thru to a 43-17 triumph. Many people say that it was the Sugarbeeters best game of the seaon. Divisional In the first round of the Northern Divisional Tournament at Shelby, Chinook was paired against Moore. Although the Beeters played far from their best brand of ball they proved that Moore was no match for them, by winning 57-27. Chinook’s win over Moore advanced them into the semi-finals against the powerful Choteau Bulldogs. Choteau was one of the teams favored to place either first or second. But they were not able to down the fighting Beeters, who outplayed them to win by a 48-35 verdict. Championship The Beeters final game of the season was with the Shelby Coyotes for the Divisional Championship. The Beeters got off to a good start, leading 19-11 at one time, but could not hold the lead. The score at half-time was tied at 24 all. The Sugarbeeter’s lack of heigth showed up in this game as the Shelby 6 foot 5 inch center dunked shots and took many rebounds from both baskets. The stubborn Beeters who fought gamely through out the game went down to a 53-42 defeat to place second.
