H. S. quite meekly. We felt just a little bit uneducated in the ways of the upper classmen, but we hoped to learn fast. We were “welcomed” with our initiation by the Sophomores, and thus became true members of the High School. Our class officers during the year were: President, Richard Edgington; Vice-president, Joyce Thompson; Secretary, Iola Skoyen. Mr. MacDonald was our sponsor until he went to the Navy, then Miss Hunt took over. On the Student Council we were represented by Mary Williams, Mary Overcast and Jack Hiebert. 1944-1945 The next fall we returned quite boldly, and took our turn at putting on an initiation. During this year our class was well represented in athletics, music, clubs and the ranks of scholarship. Those who lead our class during the year were: President, Mary Overcast; Vice-president, Evelyn McPherson; Secretary, Iola Skoyen. Our representatives were Sharon Luckett and Don Harshman, and we were sponsored by Mrs. Walker. 1945-1946 At last! Now we were upper classmen. Our able leaders during our Junior year were: President, Don Harshman; Vice-president, George Lang; Secretary, Virginia Murphy; and representatives, Evelyn McPherson and Bob Steinmetz. Our main activities were sponsoring the Junior Prom, in a “Rose Room” theme. Our Junior play was “Campus Quarantine.” Our sponsor, Mr. Denny, gave us a great deal of help in this busy year. 1946-1947 In 1946, we again returned to C. H. S., as “high and mighty” Sen iors. This was our busiest year. Our most important activities were putting on the Senior Play, “A Date With Judy,” which was a big success, and publishing this annual. Our officers during this last year were: resident, Bob Steinmetz; Vice-president, Nancy Burgess; Secretary, Mary Williams; representatives on the Student Council, Jack Sattleen and Avis Wilcox. We asked Mr. Bowen to be our sponsor. On May 21, 1947, we closed our High School days forever, but we leave with a great store of pleasant memories. fast anb Testament the enicis o| 9 7 We, the Senior Class, revoking all former will and testaments, that may have been made when we were young and foolish, hereby execute this, our last will, in hopes that those less fortunate can be saved from Richard, when he opens the door. To the faculty in general we give our most sincere thanks for the services they have rendered in starting us on the road to success in life, and for the interest they have taken in our welfare. To Walter Conway, whom we shall never be able to really show our deep admiration, we bequeath good luck and thankfulness for a job well done. To the Freshmen boys, we leave our ability to grow into tall and handsome men as some of the Senior boys have so aptly done.

GERALDINE BAHR leaves her drawing ability to anyone who thinks they can master her technique. Our one and only NANCY BURGESS leaves here with one less friend. Now I wonder who that can be. Don’t rush him girls, his nights are filled as long as Nancy is around. Now to the future typists of C H S, LORN A BURNS leaves her ability to catch up on her late assignments to anyone who can master her technique, or is it technique? ? At last, YVONNE BUTCHER leaves the Sophomore boys to the Sophomore girls. Girls, now is your chance to get that man! ! PHILIP CASTEEL leaves his height to Artie Wisch.

We are very glad to announce to you that we have finally talked ALICE HIEBERT into sharing her car with anyone that is preoared to look into the future with her through the front window, that is. JACK HIEBERT bequeathes his power of leadership to Bill Morrison because we feel he needs more self-confidence. BEVERLY JAMIESON leaves her new buckskin jacket to whom ever can take it away from her. Larry Martens is the lucky boy who is willed all of JAMES JONES’ loud plaid shirts. To Geniece Brass, LAURA KRUSE leaves her serene attitude in life. We hope that this will help solve some of Geniece’s problems. Lucille Renda is to receive HARRIET LIDDLE’S ability to stick to one man. JEAN MacARTHUR leaves her power to tame wolves to Joan Betz. If you want to know the secret, Joan, just look up Jean after school. She will be at the Cozy, surrounded by boys. KENNETH MacLEAN wills his black curly hair to Floyd Skoyen. And, Floyd, when it’s curly it won’t fall in your eyes. DONNA McKINLEY leaves her Shorthand ability to all the Junior girls. She hates to have them constantly tearing their hair.

EVA MOXLEY leaves four years in C H 3 to anyone who wishes to encounter the ordeal.

PAUL NELSON bequeathes his penmanship to Babe Hofeldt. CECELIA O’BRIEN bequeathes her gift of gab to Carl Unruh, not that he needs it. MARY OVERCAST leaves her ability to get the Annual to the press on time to Tom Kuhr. We hope he burns as much midnight oil as Mary did. MAURINE OVERCASI wills the reddish tint of her hair to Betty Blatter, who seems to be working on the idea. MARY ANN POPPLER bequeathes her innocent blue eyes to Molly Jo Spencer. SERENA RONNE wills her magnificent head of hair to Mr. Denny. This may inspire more students to take up Chemistry. To Jack Larkin, JACK SATTLEEN leaves his laugh. Here’s hoping that he uses it while trying to laugh at some of Hank Halseth’s jokes. To John Miewald, MACK SAVAGE wills his “line,” in hopes that it will make it easier for John in future years.

JOYCE THOMPSON wills half of her wardrobe to Delores Rinehart. This still leaves Joyce with plenty. NELLA WADEISH leaves her chauffeur, Feter Wadeish, to whom ever is luck enough to get him.

One at a time, please! NANCY WAGNER bequeathes her bottle of peroxide to Artista Kottke, since she isn’t going to use it anymore. RICHARD WAGNER leaves his “speed to Dick Clikeman. AVIS WILCOX leaves her dancing ability to John Featherstone. MARY WILLIANMS leaves her sincerity to Grace Shockley. May she make better use of it. MARY ANN WISE bequeathes her freckles to Lela Ness.

Along came September in the year of 1944 and we entei-ed CHS as freshmen. We had a large class, but since then many have dropped out or moved away. We came face to face with a tough initiation, which was much more fun for the Sophomores than for us. For officers we elected: President, Dick Thorsen; Vice-president, Grace Shockley and Secretary, Tom Kuhr. To represent us in Student Council, we chose Donna Bowerman, Richard Jacobsen and Barbara Norton. Miss McGrath was our spoijsor. In 1945 we came to school feeling a little bolder. This year it was our privilege to put on the initiation, and we found it much more fun than being the victims. Class officers chosen were: President, Bob Inman; Vice-president, Donnalee Barber and Secretary, Eddie Wagner. On the Student Council we were represented by Jean Ovesen, Tcm Kuhr and Alan Schubert. Miss McGrath was again asked to be our sponsor. We could hardly wait until 1946 when we would be “upper class-men.” Mr. Denny was chosen for our sponsor. Dick Thorsen was again elected president, and the other officers were: Vice-president, Dick Clikeman; and Secretary, Eddie Wagner. We were ably represented on the Student Council by Jay Wadsworth, Dick Jacobsen and Geniece Bruss. As a theme for our Junior Prom, we chose “Stairway to the Stars.” Our Junior play, “A Case of Springtime,” was directed by Mrs. Praetz. Now in the spring of 1947 we have big plans for returning in the fall to finish our last year in good old CHS. r Page 1—Row 1: Dixie Maddox, Wayne Willman, Maybelle Sion aker, Tom O’Hanlon, Lois Robbins.

Those chosen were: President, Carl Unruh; Vice-president, John Hamilton; and Secretary, Betty Butcher. Our representatives on the Student Council were Donna Sivertsen and Larry Jacobsen. Mrs. Walker was chosen as our class sponsor. As Sophomores we boldly returned to CHS. We gave the freshmen a good start in High School with their initiation, and then entertained them at the “Freshmen Mixer.” Three boys from our class made the first team in basketball this year. They were Dale Butcher, Art Wisch and Leonard Ehlang. Another member of our class, Larry Jacobsen, was the manager of the basketball team. Our officers during this year were: Mr. MacDonald was our sponsor and we were represented on the Student Council by Marion Rusch and Richard Leonard.

Correction—Letha Mueller is a sophomore. We entered the halls of CHS prepared for the worst. Surviving the initiation given to us by the Sophomores, we were then true members of the High School. At our first class meeting we chose Mrs. Bowen to be our sponsor. Our class officers were: We were represented on the Student Council by John Miewald and June Harbolt. Several of our members turned out for athletics. Two of them. Norman Anderson and Jack Morrison played on the Beeter Reserves basketball team. These same two boys also played on the Football team. Throughout the year we sponsored a Halloween party, which was our return dance for the Sophomores, and also gave an assembly program.

Donna Sivertsen Secretary .................................... Jean Ovesen Treasurer............................. Joan Harbolt A candle-light initiation ceremony was held in October, and about twenty-five new members were taken into the club. Soon after our initiation, we attended the District Convention at Havre. We had the largest representation at this meeting, about sixty of our girls attending. During the year we have served at most of the home basketball games, and at the District Tournament. We served lunch to our basketball team, and the visiting Malta team. We also served the F. F. A. boys at their spring and fall conventions. The freshmen held a Christmas tea for their mothers. We earned money during the year by selling at the basketball games, and by having a booth at the High School Carnival. We have set aside $100 to be contributed to some benefit. We also used some of our money to pay for new pictures for the Home Ec. department, and to buy a life size doll so that the classes may learn more about the handling and care of a baby. We consider our year’s work a success, because we have spent our time both in fun and worthwhile projects.

Reeds and Diunts Our director this year was Mr. Dobbie. He had directed us before the war, and after serving in the Army, came back to CHS and again took over the Band. He has made a great deal of improvement in the Band by having individual and different sections in special classes. This year the Band started out with thirty-five members. We had a weak bass section, and to add to this handicap, we lost our bass horn and baritone players early in the year. To take care of this, Lucille Renda was changed from the trumpet section to playing baritone, and some beginners were started on the bass horn. Late in the year, we lost our second trombone player. Our officers during the year were: President ........................... Don Morrison Secretary .......................... Marion Rusch Student Director ............................ Jack Hiebert Librarians........Beth O’Hanlon, Virginia Renda In the fall, thirty-two beginners were started on their instruments, and about twenty of these were promoted to the regular Band.

She was presented with a corsage and gift, and was honored by a special acrobatic dance by Lucille Renda. fluniol P cm A very beautiful Junior Prom was held in the High School gymnasium on May 2, 1947. The theme used was “Stairway to the Stars.” The gymnasium looked like a different world with its blue ceiling, silver and gold stars, and a blue stairway, all glistening like true stars. About thirty couples attended this annual affair. Music was provided by the “Five Aces” orchestra from Havre.

This drawback was not due to lack of spirit, however, for the Beeters were in there fighting all the way. Most fault was attributed to the lack of experience, which showed up sorely against the more experienced teams � met throughout the season. Coaching by Mr. Zimmerman and Mr. Kuhlman, however, ironed out many of the kinks in the team’s smoothness, and it was noticed by many that Chinook fielded a team showing remarkable improvement between the first and last games. The grid schedule was cut short this season by the demand for beet-toppers sent out by the local famers. Most of the football players heeded the call for help. Thus causing the cancellation of the Bison Reserve game. Reasons Recolc) Chinook 13 ................... Havre Colts 0 Chinook 0 ..................... Fort Benton 46 Chinook 6 ........................... Malta 32 Chinook 0 ..................... St. Mary’s 13 Chinook 12—Havre 0 The first game of the season was played at Havre, against the spunky Havre Colts. Getting the jump on the Colts in the first period, the Beeters drove Harshman over to score, putting them in the lead 6-0. The rest of the first half was played in see-saw fashion, with neither team nearing pay dirt. The second half was much the same, with both teams playing good defensive ball but being stopped on all fronts. Neither team threatened until late in the fourth period, when Harshman again pushed over a score to sew up the game for the Beeters. Chinook 0—Fort Benton 46 Chinook was literally snowed under by a superior Longhorn team. Weakened by lack of replacements, the Beeters were in a sorry plight when injuries claimed Chinook players. A speedy Fort Benton found the game to be a field day for scoring, and throughout the game pushed over score after score to overrun a tired Beeter squad to the tune of 46 to 0. Chinook 6—Malta 32 Journeying to Malta for a game under the lights, the Beeters again suffered defeat under vengeful Mustang hands. Attaining for the loss of the previous year, Malta ran wild through the Beeter line to compile a score of 32 to Chinook’s 6. The Beeters attained their lone tally after an 80 yard down field drive to pay dirt, with Harshman carrying th ball most of the way and going over for the score. Playing a brilliant game all of the way, Harshman sparked the team both offensively and defensively. However, it takes more than one man to make a team, and although they were in there fighting all the way, the Beeters couldn’t quite stop the lusty Mustangs. Chinook 0—St. Mary’s 13 Playing one of their best games of the season, at the handicap of the absence of two first string backfield men, the Beeters nearly capsized the St. Mary’s Mustangs. Holding the Mustangs at a scoreless tie with brilliant defensive play, the Beeters threatened to score various times through the first half, but were unable to push the pigskin over. The Mustangs scored in the third and again in the final period and upon completing the conversion trip, gained a 13-0 lead that the Beeters were unable to overcome. Chinook gujatlieMls Ityf 7 Champions CONSOLATION PRI2E STATE The Sugarbeeters, with one of the best records of all times, can feel justly proud this year. Employing the smooth, fast ball characteristics of Chinook ball clubs, the Beelers, playing with good and bad breaks, came through the season to successfully cop a third place at the State Tournament. Amassing a total of 1576 points through the season, the Beeters had an average of 42 points per game. Out of the 37 games played, the Beeters managed to get through, dropping only 8. Their opponent’s total points were 1136. Starting off with a bang by winning- their first four games played, the Beeters were cut short by dropping two in succession to Cut Bank and Shelby. Coming back after two losses, the Beeters trampled Harlem, and ran over Shelby, before dropping the third loss to Havre. Wolf Point was the next team to overcome the Beeters, but the boys passed over th? deteat lightly, and roared through their next five games without' a loss, before being stopped by a superior Havre squad. Taking over the initiative once again, the Chinook squad won their next seven games, only to lose to Big Sandy in the Sub-District Tournament, after having conquered the Pioneers in two previous conflicts. Saco, overcoming a 20 point lead, nosed out the Beeters for their seventh loss of the season. With their indomitable to win showing up, the Beeters rolled through their next tight games successfully and in doing so copped the Championship trophies at the District and Divisional Tournaments. Stopped in their first round of play by a speedy Hamilton quin tet, the Beeters won their next three games at the State Tournament in Glasgow, and as a reward brought home the third place trophy. So, the 1946-47 basketball season was brought to a close by an exceptional team with an exceptional record. Left to Right—Bill Weidner, Jack Morrison, Stanley Wixom, Bill Morrison, Dick Clikeman, Mr. Kuhl-man, Carl Unruh, John St. Clair, Larry Jacobsen, John Hamilton, Noman Anderson, Stanley Varney. fleetest ReseWes “B” squad or second squad basketball has two purposes: one is to provide healthful, competitive sport; and the other, to supply a constant flow of trained recruits for the varsity. Considering these points this year’s team was highly successful. Many promising boys from this group will be seen as “The Beeters” in years to come. The “B” team played eleven outside games. Of these they defeated Hingham, Harlem twice, Hogeland and Turner; and lost to the Havre “Colts” twice, Hogeland, Wolf Point, Saco and Dodson. This is not a bad record when one considers that four of these games were against Varsity squads. The boys also piayed four inter-squad preliminaries, while the Freshman group played three victorious games with the Junior High. BOB INMAN—Center Bob was high point mar in the Beeter lineup this year. Playing the important pivot spot for the Beeters, Bob was one of the most valuable players on the team. Not only his scoring power, but his ability to hold down men bigger than himself, made him a demon on the court. Batting in his share of rebound: whenever he was near also contributed to the scoring of the team. This was Bob’s second year with the Beeters and his first at the center spot. Using a deceptive pivot shot Bob sunk many shots both close and away from the basket. Bob will be back again next year to play for the Beeters. FLOYD BOWKN—Coach In his third year of coaching for Chinook High School, Mi. Bowen turned out one of the most successful basketball teams erf Chinook’s history. Mr. Bowen did not have the experienced material he had last year, but he molded the boys into a smotih fighting team with an indomitable will to win. Leading a team through a tough schedule is no easy task, but this iob was handled capably by Coach Bowen. Always there to give the boy3 a helping hand, he gave tnem the confidence and the extra push that put them through many tough games. Although he says he’s no coach,” we don’t agree with him, and CHS salutes him for a job well done. ARTIE WISCH—Center The most remaikable thing in regard to Artie’s basket ball career, this year was his rapid rate of improvement between the lirst and last games of the season. Artie could be relied upon to score in most games he played in. Using his superior height to an advantage, Artie dunked in numerous points this year and always pulled through successfully in crucial tournament games. Artie was equally adept on defense as offense, proving this throughout the season. This was Artie’s first year with the Beeters being only a Sophomore, Artie still has two years left to play for Chinook. He has a very promising basketball career to look forward to in the future. LARRY JACOBSON—Manager Although not an actual member of the team, Larry proved himself to be as indespensable as almost any single player. His was the thankless job of keeping the team’s equipment and other things pertaining to the team in shape. Among these jobs were packing and unpacking the suits, cleaning the locker rooms, cleaning the balls and ' h°r minor duties. Without Larry the team would have been greatly handicapped during games, especially on trips and out-of-town games. Congratulations are in order l(i this year’s student manager. Larry will probably be cn ti e B?etei squad next year and the team will miss his competent management. RICHARD WAGNER—Forward Rich was the shortest man on the team this year. However, despite his lack of heighth, Rich successfully held down a berth on the main five. Rich was a tower of strength under the boards, in spite of his small stature. A streak of lightening down court, Rich could dribble the ball faster than most players could run. A very good outside pop shot, Rich’s speed enabled him to cut and drive through numerous lay-ups. Sticking to his opponent like a leech, distinguished Rich on defense as well as offense. Using his superior speed. Rich got the ball and was down the floor before the startled enemy players realized what was coming off. This was his first year with the Beeters. DALE BUTCHER—Forward Dale’s first year with the Beeters was quite successful. With two years left to play, Dale distinguished himself as a good, steady ball handler. His accuracy on set shots helped the team in many games. Just as adept on defense as offense. Dale broke up many plays with his quick thinking and action. A good man at setting up screens, Dale proved himself to be a valuable player against man-toman defense. His quick eye and fas action proved to be the downfall of many nanping defense men, as his swift passes zipped in to set up a score. RICHARD JACOBSON—Forward Coming in later in the season, Dick proved to be a valuable asset to the team. Out during the season due to injuries attained in football, Dick merged into the line-up filling a crucial place on the team. Not lettnng a handicap of a back brace stop him, Dick distinguished himself on the main five by his set shots from the comer. Dick contributed consistently to the scoring power of the team, and could be counted on to come through with his share of points in every game. This w’as Dick’s first year with the Chinook squad, vat he will be back again next year to spark the Beeter line-up. LEONARD EH LANG—Forward One of the three Sophomores on the team, “Swede,” in his first year of basketball for the Beeters, played quite a few games and showed brilliant reception and ball handling throughout the season. “Swede’s” set shots enabled him to score many times. Playing a rapid, sure-fire game of ball, “Swede” was in the game fighting all the way. Being fast enough to play his man fairly close “Swede” consistently set up a fast break by stealing the ball from his opponents. “Swede” could always be relied on to play his best brand of ball in a game, and proved to be an invaluable player throughout the season. “Swede” has two years left to play with the Beeters. DON HARSHMAN—Guard Don, in ending his basketball playing days for Chinook, surpassed all his other years of play for the Beeters. Playing a steady game all the way, Don often calmed down u nervous, excited, Beeter ball club when the going got tough, with his smooth experienced ball handling. Don always came through With scores in the tight spots of a game. Playing his best in tournament games, Don often squelched a rising threat, or brought the Beeters from behind with his brilliant shooting power. With his excellent basketball, Don has carved a place for himself in Chinook High’s portal of basketball fame. BILL PARKER—Guard Bill transferred here from Indiana this year, which proved to be quite a break for the Beeters. Using a style all his own, Bill’s smooth bal! handling and speedy dribbling confused many opponents to the advantage of the Chinook squad. Dill’s most formidable weapon is a two-handed set shot out past the key-hole. Bill scored many times this year on that shot, much to the dismay of enemy defense-men. Using bullet passes and speedy cuts, Bill set up numerous scoring plays for the Beeters. Bill will be in there fighting again next year for Chinook. GORDON MICHALSON—Guard Mike, utilizing his keen basketball sense, was one of the best Beeter players this season. Switching to guard after playing as forward in the early part of the season, Mike’s offensive and defensive play made him the scourge of his opponents. Playing a fast, hard game all the way, Mike’s habit of stealing and interceptions, won him the respect of fans as well as players. Deception was Mike’s chief weapon. His tnck of passing one way while looking another, and his sm oth change of pace while setting up a play, accounted for many of the tallies marked up for the Beeters. This year ended Mike’s basketball career for Chinook High. TYRUS MATSUOKA—Guard This was Ty’s first year of play for the Beeters. Playing a steady, heads-up brand of ball, Ty held down his guard spot successfully throughout the season. A capable substitute, Ty could always be relied upon to play a smooth, polished game when sent into crucial games. Always a steady player when the going was rough, Ty often aided in settling his teammates down to cool ball-handing. Ty often threw his opponents off balance enabling him to set up plays which many times ended in scores. Ty will be back in the ranks of the Beeter squad next year.

Taking the floor against the St. Paul’s Braves, the Chinook boys gained a margin that they Increased in the ensuing quarters of the game. Never in danger of defeat, the Beeters coasted through to win 39-18, putting them in position for the Championship play off the following night. In the Championship gam« of the Tourney, the Beeters met the Big Sandy Pioneers for the third time of the season. Having defeated the Big Sandy team on two previous games, the Beeters were confident of a win which would net them the Championship trophy. Their confidence was flung back in their faces% however, as the Pioneers, staging a last minute rally, scored seven points to edge out the Beeters. They finished with a 1 point lead on the Beeters. The Chinook boys established and held a slight margin in the first half and came roaring out in the third quarter to lengthen that lead. But much to the surprise of everyone, and to the dismay of Chinook, Big Sandy came back valiantly to win 27 to 26. 'Tournaments District In the first round of District competition, the Beeters met and swept over an inferior Box Elder five. This was a game of little interest due to the one-ided score. The Beeters showe their superi ority by trampling: the weaker Box Elder players 66 to 16. On the second night of the Tourney, the Beeters, led by Harshman and Inman, overcame the St. Paul’s Braves in a fast and furious fray. Chinook, using a fast break and superior control of both backboards, established a first quarter margin which they increased steadily throughout the game. Using an effective man-to-man defense, the Beeters held down their opponents, scoring nicely to win by a margin of 48 to 26. District Championship The Beeters roared out on the floor in the Championship game of the Tourney in high style to win from Big Sandy -‘14 to 30. With both teams playing fast and inspired ball, the final game proved to be a thriller for all. Establishing a two point lead in the first period, the Beeters were able to hold out against the Pioneer’s steady attack. Inman and Harshman burned the nets with nine points each to lead the Chinook scoring. Sanford was high for the Pioneers with 12 points. A beautifully executed, last minute stall proved the Beeter supremecy over Big Sandy, and enabled the Chinook five to capture another District Championship trophy. Divisional Playing their opening g mo in the Tourney, the Beeters showed a sample of their basketball skill by overcoming Denton, 46 to 39. A comparatively slow game, the Beeters overcame a first quarter lead by Demon to go ahead 21 to 17 at the intermission. Following through with their superior ball handling in the third and fourth periods, the Chinook squad came off the court victoriously. With their first night win, Chinook advanced to meet Shelby who had aiso won their opening game. Chinook was behind in the first three sta- .as of the fray, shortening the Coyotes lead in each successive quarter. Not until the last quarter did the Beeters forge ahead. With the score in Chinook’s favor at the official time out 42 to 38, Shelby again came up to tie the score. A last minute free throw, netted by Wagner, broke the tie, and the Beeters nosed out the fighting Coyotes by a last minute stall. Divisional Championship In the finals the Beeters met the Choteau Bulldogs, who were favored to w'in the Divisional. This game proved to be mostly defensive, with both teams playing expert ball throughout. Chinook lead at the first period, 6 to 1. But the raging Bulldogs came back to take the lead at the half, 12 to 9. Th Beeters could not be put down so easily, however, and tied up the score at the end of the third stanza, 16 to 16. The lead seesawed back and forth during the early part of the fourth, and came to a 20 to 20 deadlock with only a minute left in the game. Wisch, taking advantage of his superior height, dunked the winning goal of the game, to bring the Beeters home victoriously with the Championship trophy. State Traveling to Glasgow' on March 20, Chinook came home with a third place trophy after three days and four games of terrific basketball. Starting their three days of play, the Beeters were put down 51 to 48 by Hamilton, who went on to w'in the State trophy. This game proved to be the thriller of the Tournament w'ith both teams playing a hard, fast game throughout. With the score lied at the half and third quarter marks, Hamilton finally pulled ahead at the loss of Inman and Harshman on fouls, consequent ly lessening the Beeters height advantage. In there fighting till the end, the Beeters were unable to overcome the vicious Hamilton five w’ho came out on top of a 51 to 48 score. In their second game of the Tourney, the Beeters met Scobey. A close game all the way, with the quarter scores 9 to 8; 24 to 17, in the first half, with Chinook leading. Coming up to tie the score in the third period at 30 to 30, Scobey show'-ed the Beeters they were no push over. Undaunted by the Scobey threat, the Beeters pulled ahead at the offcial time out. 36 to 35, and from here went on to won 44 to 39. With their previous win bringing them up to a fast and furious fracas against Plenty-wood, the Beeters won their third game and w’ent on into the consolation finals. Mastering the back boards throughout w'ith superior height, the Beeters showed what they were made of, and establised a lead in the first period. Staving off a third ouarter rally by the plucky Plentywood five, the Beeters won, going away in the fourth period. The game finished with a score of 49 to 39. Consolation Finals In the consolation bracket against Laurel, Chi nook proved its supremacy by overcoming a smooth, fast quintet. Establishing a first period lead, the Beeters were put under by the Laurel five in the second stanza but came right back to null ahead at the end of the third period 37 to 35. It was comparatively easy going in the final quarter as the Beeters pulled ahead to win the game 50 to 45, and snatch away the third plac trophy.
