For four years Mr. Lott has made our school one of the most beautiful in the state. Beside planting flowers for every occasion, keeping all the floors waxed, and having our school in perfect condition, Mr. Lott has been a friend to almost every student who has at one time or another needed to get into the school after hours. He always helps, with a smile, anyone needing an extension cord, broom, or similar object — and though sometimes these things are lost or not returned we want Mr. Lott to know we appreciate his helpfulness and we want to say, Thanks to a swell guy. Janitors Jimmie Stephens, a graduate of Chinook in 45 was our assistant janitor this year. He was also janitor of the Grade School. We, the Seniors of 49 wish to dedicate this part of our annual, in our appreciation of his wonderful job in assisting to keep this school one of the best. Burton Bosch F.F.A.

S. with the fear of initiation being uppermost in our minds; but vowing with all our hearts that we would get even by initiating the next class good and proper . We chose Carl Unruh as our class President, John Hamilton, Vice-President, Betty Butcher, Secretary-Treasurer, and Larry Jacobsen and Donna Sivertsen to represent us in the Student Council. Margaret Noble was chosen as our Freshmen sponsor. 1946- 1947 Ah! Sweet Revenge! As sophomores we really gave the Freshmen a royal welcome into high school in the form of an initiation, which incidentally, was the last real initiation in C. H. S. Our class officers were: Dale Butcher, President, Leonard Ehlang, Vice-President, and Joyce Holman as Secretary-Treasurer. Richard Leonard and Marion Rusch represented us in Student Council. Mr. MacDonald was our sponsor. 1947- 1948 We could hardly believe that at long last we were finally upperclassmen . During this school year we accomplished many things—such as presenting the Junior Play— The Campbells Are Coming . The Junior Prom (theme— April Showers ) was also a great success. This year we chose Burton Bosch as President of our class, Tom O'Hanlon as Vice-President, and Joan Harbolt as Secretary-Treasurer. Richard Leonard and Betty Butcher were our representatives in Student Council. Mr. Denny was our sponsor. 1948- 1949 In 1948 we entered C. H. S. as high and mighty seniors , graduation was in sight. Our biggest accomplishment this year was presentation of the Senior Play. The Editor of this Annual was Burton Bosch. President of our class was Richard Leonard, Vice-President and President of the Pep Club, Tom O'Hanlon. Joyce Holman was Secretary-Treasurer and Stanley Wixom and Donna Mann represented us in the Student Council. Mr. Bowen was chosen as sponsor of our class. Senior Class Will Friends, this is a solemn occasion. The class of 1949, having passed on to its reward, has left behind this last will and testament. I, as the legal adviser of the class, drew up this document and it is cast-iron, unbreakable, and very very legal. You are assembled here that this will may be read. Listen, to what you are about to receive! We, the class of 1949, in the town of Chinook, county of Blaine, and the state of Montana, being of brilliant mind, though a bit fuzzy about the edges, do hereby make this our last will and testament. We hope that you too, will appreciate what we are leaving you and that you will never forget our kindness and what a wonderful class we have been. TO THE JUNIORS—our rightful heirs, so soon to take our place—not that they can fill it—we leave them our reputation, grade A and spotless, our dignity, and our air of importance. We also leave them any debts we may have left unpaid, such as accounts at the Cozy or fines for broken windows. We bequeath to the Junior Girls our hopes that they may be able to hold firmly to the Junior Boys and steer them firmly next year through the gates of Commencement, that they may not share our humiliation for not being able to hold our men folks —as the women of the world would put it. Class Will (Continued) TO THE SOPHOMORES—our seats in assembly hall, may they fill them as well as we have done. TO THE FRESHMEN—we leave our blessings, tender memories of our pleasant association and our apologies for anything we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship henceforth and forever. P. S. We also leave you any overlooked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to the undesides of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any likely or unlikely place. TO THE GLEE CLUB—we leave a sense of great loss—Boy, could we sing! ! ! ! TO THE PHYSICAL TRAINING DEPT—we leave a record that deserves a bronze tablet or at least honorable mention. TO OUR INSTRUCTORS—we leave thanks for their patience, suggestions for making their lives easier—less difficult lessons, no tests, fewer rules, and more holidays. Lastly, we have a few individual bequests to make: 1. Lyda Berger leaves her Woody Woodpecker call'' to Anna Ramberg and maybe she will acquire as good a Bill as Lyda did. 2. Jimmy Bennett leaves his timidness to Marvin Kleinjan. 3. Joanne Betz, Lola Russell, and Delores Hobbs leave their ability to get out £ f Denny's Study Halls to those who don't like to study. 4.

Band The high school band was very active this year. We started out by playing for all home football games. In November, we gave a concert at the High School Carnival and sponsored the Carnival Dance. When the proceeds were divided, the band received $100 as their share. We played for the Christmas assembly, many pep assemblies, and for all of the home basketball games. To raise money for new uniforms, we worked on several projects. Among these were selling banners and coke at basketball games. The proceeds of our annual spring concert also went toward uniforms. The band attended the Havre May Festival. This was our last appearance of the Mixed Chorus Back Row: Larry McMullin; Ray Harbolt; Bill Tilleman; Larry Martens: Bob Dickson; Burton Bosch: Bert Murphy.

The Glee Club started out in the fall by electing Margery Crockett as president; Shirley Burgess, vice-president; and Artista Kottke as Secretary-Treasurer. They had a booth at the carnival and received $25 as their share of the fund. They have had regular rehearsals throughout the year and are presenting their annual Spring Con'cert near the end of March. Girls' Glee Club Back Row: S. Sargent; R. Campbell; B. Praetz; B.

Sponsor—Mrs. Naomi Ingwalson Secretary—Iris Reynolds Chapter Mother—Mrs. Marie Bowen After beginning the year with our installation and initiation ceremonies, our first project of the year was to make a club handbook, containing our creed, point system, purposes and complete calendar. One of these books was given to each girl in the club. We attended the district convention at Big Sandy in October. Our second project was a Diaper Party. At this party each girl was given a diaper to hem. These were sent to a Havre hospital. At Christmas time we sent gifts to the State Orphan's Home and we also sent packages to the World Christmas Festival. During the winter months we sold hot soup to the high school students who brought their lunches. We contributed ten dollars to the March of Dimes. In February we held a bake sale. We also took part in the national project of, adopting a German Home Ec. class. With the help of the Home Ec. girls we made and supplied a dressing table with pins, needles and thread. This table is in the home ec. room for the use of all the girls in high school. We sold refreshments at nearly all the basketball games and also at the championship game of the District Tournament. During the spring months we had a party for the F.F.A. boys and we held our second annual Sucker Day. Later on we gave a tea for the eighth grade girls, to acquaint them with the purposes of F.H.A. The State Vice-President for the year 1948, was Donna Mann elected from our own chapter. Beth O'Hanlon was elected District Vice-President. Girls selected to go to the State Convention in Bozeman, were: Alice Willma.n, June Harbolt, and Beth O'Hanlon.

The Dramatic Club, organized early in the year, was formed to promote interest in dramatics. The members have read some one act plays and have discussed parliamentary procedure. The charter members gave an initiation party in the home-economics room in the fall where each new member contributed a number toward the program. The group was divided into committees who were to take care of the program for each meeting during the year. The organization has not been very active this year, having only had a booth at the carnival, but the members hope to produce some plays and have an assembly next year. Fourteen members of the club, through outstanding performance in dramatics are eligible for the National Thespian Society. This year a camera club, under the direction of Mr. Hutchinson, was organized for all students interested in photography. The club elected Jerald Robertson, President: John Blackwood, Vice President: and Joan Harbolt, Secretary-Treasurer. The camera club held several meetings during the year and at these meetings they were taught how to take pictures, develop film, make prints and enlarging. At the school carnival, the camera club added something new by having a picture-taking booth. This booth proved quite successful and may be used other years.

Senior Play Clarence a four acf comedy by Booth Tarkington was presented on April 8, by the Senior Class. The play centers around Clarence, a returned soldier from the first World War. Clarence had no medals, no shoulder bars, no great accomplishments. One of the five million he served where he was sent, though it was no farther than Texas. They set him to driving Mules because they could find no field for his specialty, entomology. Reduced to civilian life he found a job in the home of the Wheeler family. And because he'd been in the Army, he becomes guide, philosopher and friend to tfte members of that same distracted family group. He mends the bathroom plumbing, tunes the piano and off stage, plays the saxophone. The play came to a satisfactory conclusion and Clarence proves himself a hero after all. The cast of characters includes the following: Clarence—Leroy Dover; Mr. Wheeler—Richard Leonard; Mrs. Wheeler—Lola Russell; Cora Wheeler—Maybelle Slonaker; Della—Donna Klotzbuecher; Hubert Stem —Tom O'Hanlon; Dimwiddie—Larry Jacobsen; Bobby Wheller—Stanley Wixom; Mrs. Martyn—Lyda Berger. Mrs. Praetz was the director of the Senior Play, which is the sixth play she has directed in three years at C. H. S. Mrs. Praetz says The play received the best of any presented in C.H.S.” under her direction, was the Campbells are Coming, presented by this same class in 1947. Junior Play Lying, as a fine art certainly calls for a strong head, a stout heart and a good memory and Peter Pepperdine, the hero of the Junior Class play, For Pete's Sake, has all these qualifications to fit him for a magnificent liar. When his exasperated aunt, in an effort to discipline him starts on a summer tour of Palestine without him,, he rents her house to her dearest enemy and masquerades as the butler to discover whether his lady love is flirting with an older and wealthy suitor. The play was a fast moving comedy and the cast worked hard to produce the successful performance. The date was November 19, and a very large crowd attended the play. The cast was as follows: Peter Pepperdine—Norman Anderson; Sarah Pepperdine—Lois Wiench; Jasmine Jackson—June Harbolt; Cicero Murglethorpe—Larry Martens; Bill Bradshaw—William Tilleman; Thorndyke Murglethorpe—John Shelstad; Mrs. Seorgiana Clarkston—Beverly Praetz; Nadine Clarkston—Margery Crockett; Peggy Clarkston—Delores Tritt; Melvina Potts—Bonnie Blatt; John Boliver—Richard Erickson; Du Pont Darby—John Miewald. Director—Mrs. Praetz. Junior Prom 1948 Soft Music, a full moon, and beautiful decorations highlighted the Jr. Prom. After weeks of anticipation and feverish preparation the long-awaited evening had arrived. The theme chosen by the Jr. Class was April Showers. A large rainbow arching over one end of the gymnasium formed the background for the orchestra. A flower decked arch over a small bridge made a lovely entrance to the dance floor. At 9:00 p. m. the President of the Jr. Class, Burton Bosch and his date, Beth O'Hanlon led the Grand March with the Harmonaires doing the honors at the Orchestra Stand. During the intermission the entertainment was provided by Floy Bowen, who did a tap dance routine, Dixie Maddox sang two numbers, April Showers and Now is the Hour. Bill Weidner played two selections on his trumpet. A center of attention during the entire evening was the Punch stand, presided over by the Sophomore girls. Playing their first year in a new conference, the best the Beeters could do was to tie one game. Although the Beeters didn't win a game this year, sparked by Willman, Hamilton, and Leonard the Beeters always let their opponents know they had played football for four quarters. Mr. Fiske: This is Mr. Fiske's first year at Chinook. He graduated from the University of Montana at Missoula where he played fullback on the team. He holds a B. A. degree in Education. With a larger turnout he may yet be able to make Chinook into a strong football town. A. Wisch J. Hamilton J. Harbolt W. Willman T. O'Hanlon D. Sands L. Ehlang L. End L. Tackle L. Guard Center R.

Larry Martens, Robert Dickson, Charles Riebe, James Garland, James Harbolt. The B' squad this year played many games and won a good percentage of them. It was composed of Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors who played the preliminaries and gained valuable experience that will enable them to take their places in the Beeter ranks in the next few years. Coach Prestbo is to be congratulated for his successful efforts in making the B' squad into a fighting outfit that played basketball all the way. In his first year at Chinook Coach Fiske formed the Beeters into a hard-fighting outfit that piled up an enviable record of games won. Featuring a man to man defense and a set offense that could also explode into a fast break whenever the opportunity came, the Beeters showed themselves to be a team that the fans could be proud of. Coach Fiske came to Chinook with a fine record behind him and through his skill and understanding made the Beeters into a fine team. He has the liking and respect of the team and fans alike. TOURNAMENT GAMES Sub-District At the Sub-District Tournament at Harlem the Beeters' first game was with the Big Sandy Pioneers whom they downed easily 56-39. Their final game was played for the championship with the Harlem Wildcats. The Beeters triumphed 56-31. District At the District Tournament at Chinook the Beeters first trampled Box Elder 63-28 and then walked over Joplin 84-27. They were again matched against Harlem for top honors and won to the score of 55-3 I. Divisional The Divisional Tournament was held at Havre and the Beeters first game was played against Moore. Fighting a scrappy team the Beeters had to stretch some to win 59-43. The next night the Beeters fought it out with the Ft. Benton Longhorns in the most thrilling game of the season. They lost this tough one 49-47. The next morning the tired Beeters again journeyed to Havre and were edged by the Cutbank Wolves 44-41. This ended Chinook's part in the tournament and though the Beeters did not win, they showed the fans spirit that will not soon be forgotten and without which no team will ever get through a tournament. RICHARD LEONARD, Guard Rich has been known for the past two seasons for his fine spirit and aggressiveness. He was outstanding in his ball handling ability and fine defensive play. Rich's clever ball handling and team play will be sorely missed by next years squad. DALE BUTCHER, Guard Dale was noted for his set shots from mid-court and brilliant dribbling. He was a steady player and often calmed down an excited Beeter team. This was Dale's third and final year of basketball for C. H. S. LARRY JACOBSEN, Forward Larrys' height and shooting ability made him a sparkplug for the Beeters' attack. Larry played hard and well for the team. He was noted for his heads up ball and deceptive faking. This was the concluding chapter in his C. H. S. basketball career. STANLEY WIXOM, Center Stan was a very capable postman for the Beeters, but injuries sustained in football handicapped him. He had a fine pivot and set shot and was valuable for his rebound ability. This was Stan's final year of basketball with the Beeters. JACK MORRISON, Forward Playing his first year of varsity ball Pink's fast passes and shooting were always valuable to the Beeters. He was a good all around player and always did well whenever he was sent into a ball game. Pink will be back next year sparking the Beeters. ART WISCH. Center Playing his last year of ball for Chinook High, Art was the mainspring of the Beeter attack. Art was consistently the teams' high point man. He used his superior height and his excellent faking to win many ball games. Art graduates this year and leaves a fine record at C.H.S. JOHN MIEWALD, Guard One of the three Juniors on the team, Archie was known for his rebound ability. In his first year of varsity ball Archie” displayed some very able basketball. His fine passing and ball handling will be an asset to the Beeters next year. GEORGE EH LANG, Forward The only Sophomore on the squad, George worked his way up from the B squad. Despite his lack of height, George was a valuable player because of his fine shooting. George was very popular with team and fans alike and will be back next year with the Beeters. NORMAN ANDERSON, Forward A Junior, this is Norman's second year with the Beeters. Although he was the shortest man on the main feam, his fighting style and fine playing more than made up for it. Norman should be back doing a fine job for the Beeters next year. LEONARD EH LANG, Forward A standout performer at his forward position Swede was noted for his fine team spirit and clever ball handling. Swede was one of the main ball hawks for the Beeters. Swede graduates this year and leaves a fine record for his younger brother to live up to. JOHN HAMILTON, Manager Johnny's jobs as manager were many: keeping the locker room floor clean, handing out towels, treating cuts and floorburns. Not the least one of these by far was listening to the gripes of the Beefin' Beeters . John is a senior and the Beeters will miss him next year. CARL UNRUH, Forward Playing his first year of ball with the Beeters Fritz showed tremendous improvement over last year. His height and successful jump shots made him a valuable addition to the Beeter line-up, but being a senior he will not be back next year. Instructor Advisor GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION G. A. A. is a new organization this year. Although it has been discussed before, it was not until this year that a constitution was drawn up and passed, on October 18, by the Student Council. The constitution set a certain number of points to be earned by the girls before they can receive a letter. When they have received half of these set points they may have a G. A. A. pin. Dues for a year are $1.00. On November 17, Dixie Maddox was elected President of the organization!, Artista Kottke, Vice President and Georgia Ann Ehlang, Secretary-Treasurer.
