Ecology was strongly considered as the Sophomores used old newspapers and the Juniors cleaned up the town and the prize money by using old beer cans. The bonfire Thursday night was a roaring success, and the soc hop with 86 PROOF afterwards provided fun for all. Friday, the official homecoming day was enjoyed by young and old alike. The afternoon event featured the crowning of Queen Peggy Butler and King Keith Conroy and the presentation of their attendants, Jim Gruss, Winston Churchill, Lorrie Ehlang, Leanne Taylor, Ron Reid and Candy Herda. The assembly also included skits and musical numbers. The parade with float entries from all classes and several groups followed. The girls’ basketball team smashed Dodson, but the football team had a bit of trouble with the Choteau Bulldogs, coming out on the short end of a 12-8 score. Dancing to the music of Nonhem Freight closed out the week’s activities. 35 Varsity Football. . .

The players stuck with the rest of the season with an enthusiastic attitude for each game. It finally paid off with a 36 -14 victory over Browning in the last contest. The squad this year was comparatively small against the other conference teams. But with a tough defense and an offense that never gave up, the season ended with Matt Harshman and Dan Davies elected team captains. Davies was offensive end and Harshman defensive end on the second string A11-Conference team. All in all, it was a very trying season. 37 J. V. Football. . .

The feature of the evening was many people held captive in the junior jail and at many other exciting games. The C-club sponsored a free-throw toss in the gymnasium; the seniors introduced Ball-0 for the first time; the newly formed Drill Team even helped the fun of the night with their dice game. The variety show was better than ever as the Hi-Liners gave an excellent performance. Debbie Nicholson gave an oral interpretation and Chirs Brummer and Anita Johnson presented their humorous duo. As an added attraction, Ernie Gates sang a few selections, accompanying himself cm guitar. The excitement of the night was climaxed as senior candidate Dawn Jamieson was crowned queen for 1973. Princesses were: Freshman Kathi Barber, Sophomore Cindy Ehlang, and Junior Margie Inman. The intense inter-class rivalry that accompanied the queen competition served to make this carnival one of the most successful in the history of CHS. 43 The cast and crew for the junior play were: ROW ONE: Fred Behrens, Ross Friede, Hugh Ross, Dean Ramberg, Dan Davies, John Ross.

This play starred Jim Murdy as the idiot who thought he was too good for the high school and wanted to go to college. He first had to prove himself a social success. Winston Churchill played a dumb athlete who wanted a tutor. Jim decided he would tutor Winston if his friends would help him become a social success. To do this he would hypnotize him. Problems arose and he ended up hypnotizing a VIP into believing he was a rabbit. 52 The Junior Class Prom was a very exciting night for those who attended. It took place on Saturday March 30, with the Grand March at 9:00. The New Found Joy from M.S.U. was the band selected to perform. The theme song was The Morning After, and the theme was A New Beginning. ” The Prom colors were sky blue and navy blue. The prom goers named Jerry Wisch, King, and Beth Harbolt, Queen. The Prom was over at 12:00. It was followed by a lunch and movie. Junior — Senior Prom. . Rhaposody in Blues Boys’ Track The 1974 track season was a good one for the few individuals participating.

Blending of the Old and New Baccalaureate - Commencement Exercises for the 63 members of the class of 1974 began with the traditional strain of Pomp and Circumstance.

Professor Emeritus in Education at Montana State University, Earl Fellbaum, made the Commencement address. Music by the Senior Ensemble, Hi-Liners, and Chamber Choir added dignity to the occasion. Diplomas were handed out by board chairman Russel Skones and board members Jane Ehlang and James Nemetz. As soon as they had diplomas firmly in hand, the seniors chose to close the ceremonies in a very untraditional manner with the blaring of Alice Cooper's School's Out. 64 Long and Winding Road Organizations. . .

F.H.A. got off to a good start this year when eight new members were initiated into the club on September 19. After initiation, all the members got together to build a float, which took second in group floats. The girls showed that they cared about ecology and were willing to do something about it. They collected paper to take to Great Falls for recycling. F.H.A. girls demonstrated that they cared more than once this year. They took fruit baskets to the Sweet Memorial Rest Home and visited wtih the folks there and conducted the Easter Seal Fund Drive. Six members of the club went to the State Convention where the theme was Decide to Care. The six girls who went to State were Maureen MacLean, Cindy Williams, Carolyn Holfeldt, Susan Ramberg, Connie Maetche, and Rita Olson. Also Mrs. Murphy and Mrs. Komis attended.

Growing and Improving This year’s Speech and Drama Club had an especially good year with only one regret - that the junior and senior participants aren’t freshmen. Students that attended state were Jim Murdy in Extemporaneous, Ernie Johnson in Expository and Sophie Michalson and Pattie Hiner in Student Congress. This year’s team was brought to its peak with a total of 29 students participating in nine Speech and Drama meets throughout the state. The Voice of Democracy Contest was also sponsored by the speech department. Winners at the local level were Beth Harbolt, first: Susan Ram berg, second: and Nellie Jo Schellin, third. 77 C.H.S. is unique in many ways, one being school spirit; and with school spirit comes Beet Squad. Their efforts in 73 -'74 were highly commendable for the support given to the competitive teams. The teams receiving these efforts were: girls' basketball, varsity and J.V. football, wrestling, boys' basketball, and speech and drama. The Beet Squad sponsored many activities during the year. They were kept busy decorating the halls, the lockers, the gym, and the football field. Much excitement rose at pep assemblies when the Beet Squad sponsored the yelling contest. The care packages they provided for basketball - boys and girls - and wrestling were much appreciated by the teams as they traveled. 78 ROW ONE: Carol Lux, Candice Martens, Kathy McPherson, Shirley Marsonette, Sheila Donis, Donita Erickson, Cynthia Steinmetz, Cindy Sizemore.

The Student Council of the 1974 school year was one of the most active ever. Presided over by Paul Burkhartsmeyer, they were one of the first councils in Montana to support Red Cross blood drawings and the Muscular Dystrophy fund. Santa visited the children at the Hayes Mission. This, along with the other annual activities, helped to make the student council the best in recent years. Some of the students who donated blood in response to a student council promotion are pictured above. 80 Hi-C's were: Betty Doney, Karla Holman, Elaine Balazic, Sophie Michalson, Deb Kathman, Marion Stuker, Lou Ann Bryson, Teresa Brewer, Cindy Williams, Susan Gist, Maureen MacLean, and RaeAnn Renne.
