SENIORS ! LIVE WIRE Page 2 A History of The Class of 23 I shall tell you the story of one of the most remarkable classes that ever happened at old Cut Bank, the class of '23. The life of this marvelous class continued but four short years, years crowded with events. When the members of this class have gone out into the world and have achieved the fame that is bound to come to them, the memories of these four years spent in this dear old high will linger in the hearts of each and every one. It was in September 1919 that this brilliant class made its ap- pearance in the halls of Cut Bank High and from that day until the day of their graduation there was much intellectuality in the atmosphere of that insti- tution — more than was ever known before. I shall now give you a brief description of the personnel of the class There were Ethel Hyatt, Es- ther Dickenson and Dorothy Barnard who later formed the T. I. U. Then there was our great philosopher, Harlin Lar- son, the famous octor. Harold Stinson, Beatrice Van Ormer. with her queenly air, and our sweet Grace Hessler. June Hull appeared this year, fresh from the east. Then there was Walter Halvorson whom all will remem- ber because of his winning per- sonality and his mischiveous ways, and Othelia Bach, the val- edictorian of the class. Lourin- da Kanfman will be remembered by all her school mates as one of the most peppy members of C. B. H. S., one whose laugh was very contagious. Emily H rr. lupd nd Alice Clapper had high ambitions but none equalled those of Dan Baldwin who trmd so hard to argue with his teach- ers and fellow students. I am sure everv one will remember Idolph Milsten as cne who had ideas and ideals all his own. June Madison's cheery smile and helpful ways made her a general favorite with all. Paul Hershey was another favorite; Lillian Narvason one of the stu- dious members of the class, and Marvel Berger a live wire who could do very good work when she willed to do so. Knowing thus the character- istics and peculiarities of each member of the class, it will not be difficult for you to guess who were the leaders in school activities during the Freshman year and the years to follow. As Freshmen they suffered many indignities which they as Soph- omores passed on to the class beneath them. By the end of the first year the freshness had entirely disappeared and so had some of our members, including Harold, Emily, Lila and Paul, who stayed out a year and thus lined himself up with the class of '24. As Sophomores this mar- velous class of '23 was the life of the school. By this time they were familiar with the ideas and customs of the school and were able to thoroughly enjoy all school activities. Next came the Junior year and by this time Lillian, Harlin and Esther had gone. This sea- son many of the class delved in- to dramatics and other school activities—many of the class be- ing in the play: “At the end of the Rainbow, and “Abbu San of Old Jaoan. An occasional par- ty or dance was held durin the year and, take it all in all, them time was completely occurred. In fact I fear that some of their lessons suffered thereby. At last came the Senior vear, but this year we lost much by the departure of Alice, Dan and Gladys. With this year came a feeline of superiority over all the other classes. And with it came the thoughts of prepara- tions for graduation—the selec- tion of the class motto: “Be sharp, be natural, but never be flat. The class colors, crimson and black; the class flower, the crimson carnation; the class play, “What Happened to Jones;” the gowns and all that goes to make commencement what it is. Truly the Seniors were the envy of the other classes and the pride of the school. The members of this most re- markable class have now com- pleted the work of your High School, yet it is with regret that they leave this dear old school. They are glad to have graduated and earnestly hope and expect to win fame and honors and thus make Cut Bank High fam- ous for many years to come. M. B. '23. THE CRIMSON AND THE BLACK (Senior Slass Song) All the Sophomores have favored The pansy of bright hue. While all the other classes To other flowers are true; But our own carnation crimson Not one honor shall it lack, Though we stand the while defender Of the crimson and the black. Though life brings us disappointments Mingles fast our locks with gray, Though life’s sorrows overtake us And Dame Fortune tells us, “Nay,” Still we’ll banish care and sadness As in mem’ry we turn back To the days we spent in high school ’Neath the crimson and the black. —O. B. ’23. The owl is our mascot, A wise bird is he. He sits on his tall perch Sedate as can be. While hig eye ever watches Each deed that is done. Reminds us to study And likewise have fun. D.

A new Sarah Bernhardt has come upon the stage, And as a clever actress she’s the wonder of the age: Thus charming Marvel Berger entertains the world, And has quietly for use her sweet grace unfurled. As a congresswoman, Othelia Bach is at present to be found. She’s now as successful in passing the days’ unending round As when she went to high school, and as the brightest of us classed. Now she votes on many measures and sees them defeated or passed. That awful man-hater is living all alone On some distant isle behind a wall of stone, But we still have hopeful hopes that there’s one faithful heart Which may coax Grace Hessler from that lonely isle to part. If ever to Texas you should go, I’m sure you’ll want to see The Star State’s finest ranch, known as the Crown Bar Z It’s Walter Halvorson who bosses it with his bright and cherry smile And with horse and lariat has ridden full many a mile. June Madison is a her name—she’s the best hand, “I don’t want to get well,” say all the patients in all the land. In some large hospital, is a nurse with gentle there When they're under her kindly treatment and her gentle care. The East offers opportunities we do not have here in the west And many of our people it’s claimed, some of the very best— For instance take June Hull—none sweeter will be found. Is a model in New York and is becoming world renowned. To see an aviatrix is now a common sight Though it’s remarkable to see one make a lengthy flight. Dorothy Barnard makes real flights, her name is greatly known. Sometimes she makes a deviation and travels far as Rome. Everyone has gained distinction in some particular class And there’s one we must consider who before you now' will pass. He was always witty and jolly as most of you have seen, Now Idolph Milsten is editor of the Whizz Bang Magazine. If ever you go to the reservation, I’m sure you'll want to see A ranch where good times are had and always will be And the dainty little mistress of this place you’ll see Is just our sweet Lourinda of the class of '23. Go to the musicale and there you’ll hear Some compositions by Beatrice Van Ormer, our musician so dear. In Switzerland Alps her summers now she spends And if you wish to visit her, a hearty welcome she’ll extend. —J. M. 23.

Then, as we advanced we looked forward to Eighth Grace Commencement Time, and when that came we considered ourselves real young men and women. But now we realize that we were mistaken; that even today as our High School Commencement draws nearer we are but ycung irn a- tured folk—soon to face the trials of life. Our eve? watch- ful guardians at home will not be with us always to shield rw from the many temptations d which we aie so often unocr- scious. The Baccalaureate, C’ ass Day, and Commencement pro- grams each means a sincere farewell to our high school ca- reer. And far more important to os is the fact that with each farewell is extended a welcome farther into the world. In other words, that we shall each be giv- en the opportunity to accom- plish the aims and the plans for the future. We shall be given the “great life’s test,” and it is up to each of us to make good— to be a credit to our school and to our community L. C. K. ’23. ORION PROGRAM PLEASES The Orion program which was given May 4th, for the purpose of raising funds for the «Live Wire was one of the best enter- tainments of the year. The two main features of the program were the Freshman play, “Men Not Wanted,” and the Fashion Show. The cast of the play was made up entirely of Freshmen girls and they ad played their parts unusually well. With such a good begin- ning the members of our class are wondering what they will do when they b.e c o m e Seniors Those who took part in the Freshman play are: Olive Mace, Helen Novak, Gladys Mussel- man, Olga Berger, Mamie De- zort, Marian Beenish, Thelma Vasboe, Bertha Evans. The Fashion Show of course was a scream and Monsieur de P cuche with his troupe of charming models made ns won- derful a “hit” as they did their first visit with us. Mon- sieur de Rouche and his troupe were introduced by June Madi- son. Idolph Milsten took the part of a French modiste ex- ceedingly well. Those in his troupe were Francis Hilla, Ar- thur Zion, Sam Dunbar, Lestev Bush, “Humbert Pearce, Edward Seal. Ralph Micken. Robert Micken, William Yunck, George Dezc t Paul Hpvshev and Har- old Plowman. The honors of the cecasion went to the bride, Paul Hershey. Besides several instrumental solos, there was a vocal duet bv Othelia Bach and Helen Novak, and a pianoloeue bv Hazel Strohl. Evelvn Dewing furnish- ed a splendid reading, “Anne of Green Gables,” and the violin trio which consisted of Evelvn Dewing, Harry Campbell and Charles Smith was well given. The closing number of the uro- gram was a. selection nlaved by the orchestra. J. M. ’23. SUNSHINE AND SHADOW These correlative words repre- sent two of the most interesting correlates of life. Without the sunshine we would not have the shadow, and without the shadow we would not appreciate the sun- shine. It is the sunlight that causes any object to cast a shad- ow. As jlong as objects cas? their shadows on the earth be- neath we are not conscious of them; but when they obliterate the sun’s light we realize both of these correlates. If everything w ere sunlight how little we would appreciate it. It would become a common thing. But when it is taken from us for a time, we appre- ciate its merits through its ab- sence. In life sunshine and shadow play a similar part. The sunshine of life we call happi- ness, the shadow sorrow or dis- appointment. In a child’s life all is sunshine, so he does not rea1- ize his happiness. The disan- Tmht ents and sorrows f life cause us to merit so highly the snatches cf happiness as we grow older. Thus we never real- ize the sunshine until the shaw- ows fall. B. V. O. ’23. THE CRIMSON CARNATION There’s a flower so fragrant, so bril- liant of hue. An emblem of beauty and perfectness too; It is ever a symbol to brighten our way, Refreshing our courage, our hopes day by day. And the red of its petals our va'or de- clares Midst the green of its foliage, a set- ting so rare. May we ever abide by the sign of its hue And live lives that are ever courage- ous and true. —D. B. 23. Clarence—I thought you could keep a secret. Kathryn—Well, I kept it for a iveek. Do you think I’m a cold storage plant? LIVE WIRE Page 10 OUR SCHOOL Our school is a uniformity of four nomogeneous parts. These similar components we call class- es and each is an essential mem- ber of the whole. Unless these factors function in unison, there will be lack of harmony. For- tunately in the Cut Bank High school the four classes work to- gether for the good of the school In campaign drives of any kind the '.lass spirit is strong enough to produce a good school spirit. By combatting each other in friendly but earnest strife the school is helped along. The Freshman class is not similar to the usual rule. They are most angelic but bright. The excellent work they have pro- duced will suffice to prove this. In debates they stepped out to the forefront, showing how ener- getic and accomplished they are. We certainly know there is a fu- ture in store for the Freshman Class of 1923. In the Senior play we needed dramatic ability. The Sopho- mores boldly stepped up and of- fered what they had. By the Seniors this was most heartily appreciated. The initiative and originality of this little class is to be commended. Never before has a class shown such ability along these lines as has our Sophomore Class. The Junior year in high school should be one’s happiest year, tor if they have been able to get that far there should be no trou- ble in getting farther. Carefree, jolly, and talented are the char- acteristics of the Junior Class in Cut Bank. Look at the success they had in their carnival! Not only in material receipts but the jolly good time every one had. Isn’t that what the Junior Class is supposed to be? Now the Senior Class. Her accompMshments have been many, but to dwell upon them to any length would be to acknowl- edge conceit. She wishes to say that she has enjoyed her four years in the High School, her friendships with the other class- es, and the due respect they, as ower classmen have shown her as the highest upper-class. But her place is now no more. Truly, we the Class cf 1923, can say the members cf our school are to be commended; and we wish each of them as happy a career aswe have enjoyed. B. V. 0. ’23. Senior Banquet and Prom The Senior Banquet and Prom was given Friday, May 18. The banquet began at 7:00 o’clock and was held in the domestic science room. Those nresent were the Seniors, their friends, the school board, and their wives and the High School Faculty. The Domestic Science room was beautifully decorated in the Sen- ior Colors, crimson and black, an dthe tables were decorated with the crimson carnation. The o1ope cn' s and favors also car- ried out the color scheme. The toastmaster, Ralph Micken, gave the address of welcome which was responded to by the Senior Class President, June Madison. Other toasts were: “Sandwich- es,” by Miss Conmey; “Pickles,” Walter Halvorson; “Coffee,” My Peterson; “Cocktail,” Mr. Yrmck “Desert.” Mr. Bakeman. The music was furnished bv Evelvu Dewing and added much to the eniovment of the banquet. The delicious four-course dinner was served by Mrs. Long. After the banquet, the toast- master led the way to the ball room where the Alumni, the teachers, and the rest of the high school studejnts were al- ready assembled. The ball room too was beautifully decorated in crimson and black. One novel feature of the decorations was the balloons which played in the air as the dancers glided over the floor to the strains of the Davis orchestra. The patrons and patronesses were the par- ents of the Seniors. The Seniors very much enjoy- ed the prom and banquet and wish to thank the High School and Faculty for the good time afforded them. J.

H. ’23 MY LIFE AS AN ALGEBRA Once I was proud of myself; I had a good reason to be for I was a new, pretty, and shiny, greenish-blue Algebra. I was shipped with perhaps two dozen of my mates to Cut Bank four years ago. My name was “16” when the librarian of that school was through with us and had us all nicely stacked upon her desk. I felt comfortable and was be- ginning to think that life in Cut Bank was great. But then is when I thought wrong, for on September 14, 1919, the algebra teacher decided that her class needed us. So we were placed in charge of the students. I am sure I was about the unluckiest book of two dozen for I was ac- tually handed to Marvel Berger. As soon as she got me the first thing she did was write her name on the inside of my cover. Then Miss Louver assigned the lesson for the next day, so Mar- vel scratched a big X at the be- ginning and end of it. Well I got an X every day of the whole year; but that wasn't all. On a day in January, 1920, Marvel was skipping down icy Main Street with me under her arm. She came across a place which was more slippery than usual and down she went. I don't re- member how she landed, but I know that I struck the snow at the side of the walk pretty hard, and when she picked me up one of my covers was soaked and swoolen. In May the 1919-20 school term ended and vacation came at last. My! No one will ever know how glad I was. At first I tended my wounds as best I could, but I don't think my nursing changed my looks anv, for that snow wash I re- ceived during Miss Marvel's ac- cident left disheartening effects. The next year of my life Mar- vel had me again, for to my grief she had failed the year be- fore. I've often hade the re- mark since then that that was her punishment fcr mistreating me so. It isn't necessary to tell the things that were wrong with me at the end of that term, for every one can just about guess from what I've told so far. I'll always love Ralph Micken as long as I a ma book, for he's the best student in whose charge I've ever been. He was so kind and gentle with me last year that I almost forgot my previous unhappiness. Now I'm in Clarence Chasse's charge and it certainly has been the worst yet. My good cover was tom off last fall, so I'm sheltered only on one side. I wouldn't mind if he'd have tom off the one that's swoolen and ragged, but he's just that kind, always dealing people miseries. Last New Year I was a dirty, pencil-marked, swoolen, one- covered, algebra, and now, well, I won't tell you, for I'm actually ashamed of myself. L. K. '23.

This Senior Class of 1923 ic the largest class ever graduated from the Cut Bank High School and perhaps will be for several years to come, unless the pres- ent Sophs all “stick together.” There are ten of us—two boys and ei dit girls. We have ac- complished many things, among them the publishing of the Live Wire you now hold in your hands. A severe epidemic has been raging in the High School for the past several weeks The very worst factor of this epi- demic is that it is very conta- gious and really all of the stu- dents as well as the faculty have had either a severe case or a slight attack of it. The Profes- sor has diagrosed the epidemic and has pronounced it Spring Fever, and he prescribes an ex- tra dose of “patience until Mav 25th. J. C. M. ’23. SPARKS Paul (In Sociology class)—Just how long a time should you know each other before get- ting married? Marvel—I always heard you never knew a man until you had married him anyway. Walter—I bet you couldn’t write a theme on a pin. Idolph—I could write a book, but you wouldn’t want to read it; it would be too pointed. Arthur Zion was asked by his teacher to write an essay on heroes. He immediately wrote the following: “I put a thumb- tack on the chair. Father sat on it and he-rose.” • Miss Conmey — What is a vacuum ? William—Well, I have it in my head but I can’t explain it. Francis—If you could have two wishes, what would you wish for? Dorothy—I’d wish for a hus- band. Francis—That’s only one. Dorothy—I’d save the other wish until I saw how he turned out. • Little Freshie in a brook Prof, he caught him with a hook, Youngberg fried him in a pan, And Scott ate him like a man. • Miss Wall — And now Miss Youngberg, who do you want for the Prom? Miss Youngberg (busy correct- ing papers)— Oh Lord, any- body! ♦ Clarence—A friend of mine fell asleep in the bath tub with the water running. Sam—Did the tub overflow? Clarence—Nope, he sleeps with his mouth open. ♦ Cheer up! If all the reformers use up all the blus for the “true” law Sunday, there won’t be auv left for blue Monday. Students, there’s hope! June Hull—I know a man who has been married thirty years and he spends all his evenings at home. Beatrice (dreamily)—That is what I call real love. June Hull—No, it’s papapvsis. Walter—You’ve been keeping me waiting aaround here ’flee an old fcol for an hour. Isabel—Well, I may have kept you waiting, but I had nothing to do with how you waited. Smart Salesman—Hello, kid! Is the buyer in? June M.—No. (then smi’ing), but the celler is down. • Pauline (just finishing a scarce- ly audible recitation)—Any questions?— Miss Wall—Pardon me for inter- rupting, but would you plea speak louder. Pauline—Any more questions? Mr. Peterson (innocently)—Lots of girls use dumb be’ls to get color in their cheeks. Hazel—Yes, and lots of girls use color on their cheeks to get dumb bells. � Idolph—What keeps us from falling off the earth when we are upside down ? June M. — Why, haven’t you heard of Newton’s law of uni- versal gravitation ? Idolph—Yes, but how did folks stay on before the law was passed ? Fashion decrees a longer skirj?. Will lovely woman wear it? A maiden with a shapelv calf Will doubtless grin and bare it. Miss Wall (in sociology)—Down on San Francisco you see a man on the street. H« says: “Come on. let’s get married.’ You say: “All right,” and there you are. Marvel—Aw, I never heard of that! LIVE WIRE Page 13 MRS. CURRANS GIVES I INSPIRING TALK J The Foundation On Tuesday, May 3, Mrs. Cur- rans of the Normal at Dillon, gave a very interesting talk to the High School students. Her address was general and so wras appreciated by all. Especially did she direct her talk to the Senior class, giving them some good pointers on college and col- lege life. After her talk to the student body, she met individually, and in groups, members of the Sen- ior class, advising them and aid- . ing them in their future voca- tions in whatever way she was able. All the students, especially the Seniors, sincerely thank Mrs. Currans for her inspiring and helpful address. J. H.
