It was the same old ship that had carried many passengers to a safe har- bor and many people watched the twelve beautiful young la- dies and the seven dashing young gentlemen, as they so happily stepped aboard, for they were going on a four-year voy- age of High School Life. We were young and socially inclined, so it did not take us long to become acquainted with our fellow passengers, nor to feel very much at home with our Pilot, the Captain, the Stew- ardess, and even the Porter. Soon after we had set sail the old passengers initiated us into the mysteries of life on board by branding us, having us sit on chairs which were wired (not to hold them together) and in various other ways. There were naturally a few cases of sea sickness and various ones were tempted to throw up Algebra, Geometry, and other agreeable dishes in times of rough sea, but the Stewardess assured them calmly but firmly that they would only have to consume these indigestibles over until they were perfectly assimilated, and so they managed to keep them down. The Captain, Mr. Thelin, was very kind to us during the voy- age through the Freshmen Sea, solving our difficulties and giv- ing us a helping hand when needed. When we started on the Junior Sea we had a new Cap- tain, Mr. Peterson, who is still in charge of the ship. It would take too long to read the complete log of this event- ful voyage, but we will mention a few of the pastimes and im- portant events. After the Fresh- men Initiation, the next event was the Political Rally of 1920, in which the Freshmen repre- sented the Republicans, the Sophomores the Democrats, and the Juniors and Seniors the So- cialists. The election returns were in favor of the Republi- cans. Then there was the Fresh- Soph Hop at which everybody had a good time. During our trip on the Junior Sea we gave a Carnival which was a decided success in every way. We also took part in debates and basket- ball. Paul Hershey was Cao- tain of the boys’ team and this year his red head will be missed by both friend and foe. There were many programs in which we always did our part, and other activities too numer- ous to mention. It would be very interesting to tell the many delightful ex- periences, the many wonderful lessons, the changes in the pas- senger list at the various ports along the way, but after all it has little vital significance ex- cept to ourselves. The few who still remain together to land at Commencement Wharf are: Frances Clapper, Merle Duncan, Alma Heath, Pearl Hessler, Alice Olson, Lucille Peterson, Paul Hershey, and Harold Plow- man. We must not divulge the secrets of our shipmates. We must not forget the loyalty due our class colors, blue and silver, so valiantly flying at half-mast. The best and most vital history of any person or thing is never given to the world. So must it be with the Class of 1924. It has been a most wonderful voyage and we have accumula- ted many souvenirs from every port. We have not faced any gale which we were not able to withstand. We have not been wrecked upon the shoals of any threatening task. The tide of our averages has continued to ebb and flow; the billows of ex- amination questions have some- times tried their worst to over- whelm us; but none of them have succeeded. We have been able to secure the necessary passport to the entrance of each succeeding sea, and have been able to pay part of the passage in good hard work. Now we look at the larger, more majestic ocean ahead and feel that our experience has fit- ted us to withstand every storm and weather any opposing force with no fear of disaster, saying with Byron, “Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll! Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain!” But not in vain the Class of 1924! We will go on writing logs of greater adventure, and yet more wonderful discovery, for while the Voyage of High School is at an end, the Voyage of Real Life is at its triumphant Com- mencement. p n � 24 LIVE WIRE iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiimiiniiHHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimciiiiiiMiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiMiHimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiHHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page 3 THE CLASS ROLL Pearl Hessler—Class Sec.-Treas., 2-3; Betty's Last Bet, 4; Fifety Fifety, 4; Tommy’s Wife, 4; Orion, 1-2-3-4; Glee Club, 2-3-4; Basketball, 2-3; Library Staff, 2-3; Cherry Blossom, 4. “Gets by with her grille.” ---------®- Alma Heath—Entered from Wildrose (N.

And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be conducted by our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity and pomp our situation in the high school scale has merited. Listen then, one and all, while I read the document as dully drawn up and sworn to. As to such estate as has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: We give and bequeath to the dear faculty, who have been our instructors in all the wisdom of the ages, a sweet and unbroken succession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake through the long hours of the night wondering if each member of the class will have a perfect recitation the next day. It has been a hard strain on them, but they have done their duty and now they shall have their well-earned reward. To Prof. Peterson, the boys leave their cigaret stubs and their dancing slippers. To Miss Miesen, our Senior Sponsor, we leave our most sincere thanks for guiding us through all the difficulties that have darkened our path. To Mr. Griese, we leave all of our knowledge of Physics gained from our examination papers and our j right to exempt all those in next year’s Physics class. We also leave him all the castor oil that can be bought at the Cut Bank Drug Store. To Miss Conmey, we leave our old note book covers. To Mrs. Shannon we leave the care of weak and tottering Freshies and the supervision of all debate work. To Miss Funnell, we leave our knowledge of music and the hopes that some day we shall be able to play some musical instrument. To the Juniors, our insignificant successors, we leave our dignity, but we are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay Seniors-to-be. Our seats in the assembly hall we also bequeath to the class of ’25 and may they endeavor to fill them as advantageously, as promptly and as faithfully as we have done. _ To the Sophomores we leave our debating ability and the hope that some day they will know the differ- ence between a main speech and a rebuttal. To the Freshman Class any over-looked cuds of gum we may have left adhering to under-side of desks, banisters, assembly seats or any likely or unlikely places. We have sometimes had to rid ourselves of these in too much haste to be able to pick and choose the most desirable means of disposal. , The following may seems but trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted, not as worthless things lavishly thrown away because we can no longer keep them, but as valuable assets to those who may receive them and a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full disposal. 1. To all the future Class Presidents, Paul Hershey’s ability to convince Prof. Peterson that the Seniors are always right. 2. Alice Olsen leaves the presidency of the A. S. C. B. H. S. to any one who has the gift of gab required to fill such an office. , 3. Harold Plowman, with the consent of the Senior Class, leaves the balance of the class treasury to pay any debts which may have been acquired by us during the past year.

To anybody who needs it, Lucille Peterson’s bluff. Apply early and avoid the rush. ' 5. To Sam Dunbar, Alma Heath’s shorn golden locks. 6. To Marion Peterson, Pearl Hessler’s superfluous flesh. 7. To Harris Davis, Merle Duncan’s slender lines. 8. To Ralph Micken, Frances Clapper’s ever appealing countenance. 9. To Robert Micken, Harold Plowman’s knee trousers, not his beauty. He’ll still feel the need of that, he fears, and wouldn’t be coaxed or cajoled into leaving it behind even with Robert, who needs it so badly. 10. To Evelyn Dewing, Merle Duncan’s power to vamp the boys. 11. To the Bkkg. Class, all of Pearl Hessler’s old “Bills.” 12. To George Dezort, Paul Hershey’s height and place in Basketball. 13. To Pauline Neraal, Frances Clapper’s four great problems in raising her children. 14. To some unlucky person, Alma’s car rides with William Yunck. 15. Alice leaves her old love quarrels to anybody who cares to have the responsibility. The subjoining list will be recognized as entailed estates, to which we do declare the class of 1925 the real and rightful successors: 1. Any stubs of pencils, erasers, or scraps of paper that we may inadvertently leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures for the last time. May they feel free to make use of them, and feel, perhaps, that they may, in some mystic way impart some of our great knowledge to them. 2. The Library which is a good place in which to hold secret conversations and a good lounging parlor for wasting time. 3. The coal bin, for all Physics Lab. experiments which must be worked in a dark room. But beware— the walls are dirty and dusty. Last comes the one thing hard for us to part with. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers. They will love them, unworthy as we feel they are, even as they have loved us. They will show them all the same tender kindness and attention that they have bestowed upon us; they will feel the same interests in their attempts and successes; the same sorrows when they fail. We trust that the Class of ’25 will appreciate all this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession, as it has been ours, and the one we are most loath to hand over to them. Besides these enforced gifts, we leave, not of necessity but of our own free will, our blessing, tender memories of our tender associations together, and our forgiveness for anything that we may not have exactly appreciated in the demonstrations of the past, and a pledge of friendship from henceforth and forever. All the rest and residue of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what nature, kind and quality so ever it may be, and not hereinbefore disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral expenses) we give and bequeath to our beloved principal, for his use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1924, the testators, have to this our Last Will set our hands and seals this twenty-second day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four.

With fondly swelling pride our hearts and heads filled we, And hitched our wagon to the star of fame; But earnest strife 'ere long transformed our fitful fire Into the victor's calm, enduring flame. And now, when we who are about to go, take leave Of halls to which by bonds of love we’re bound, We lastly link with each the knot of friendship firm— The strongest tie which man has e’er found. L.

Peace and quiet reign supreme in every hall and room, During the hours of study all is silent as a tomb; The great offense of tardiness has now been long extinct, All crime is now abolished by our superior instinct. It never enters our minds to waste the shortest moment; We love to plug along with energy most diligent; Each month the whole enrollment is placed on the honor roll, The principles of scholarship are deep within our soul. At parties we conduct ourselves with perfect dignity, We gaze on noise and boisterousness with all hostility; The girls are fair and beautiful as you could wish to see. The boys are clever and handsome as any boys could be. But now, dear reader, we must say that all this junk is bunk, For every time there is a test two-thirds of us do flunk. The faculty can’t seem to see the virtues which we boast; We have to study hardest when we want to loaf the most. L. P. M.

The main feature of the pro- gram was a farcical comedy en- titled “A Bunch of Fun.” The plot of the play centered around the “bunch,” which was com- posed of a grouD of Alice Hunt- ley’s friends, Alic° being a pop- ular college girl. Mr. and Mrs. Grardon prepared to entertain the “bunch” when they arrived unexpectedly. They were all in for a good time at which they all choose partners. The play was well presented, each one in the cast taking his or her part es- pecially well. The orchestra played between the acts of the play. The play was followed by the class prophecy given by the en- tire class. Supt. Peterson then gave a verv interesting talk on the value of education. The last number on the program was a song by the entire class, “Wel- come Sweet Soring.” The pro- gram as a whole was well pre- sented and much appreciated. The members of the Eighth Grade graduating class are: Thelma Anderson. Ruth Baird, Louise Clapper, Margaret Dew- ing, Alice Johnson. Katherine Kemmer, Anna Mace, A,nna Meade, Tessie Micken, Edith Potter, Lulia Lenoir, James Barnard. William Britton, John Connolly, Archie Corrigeiux. Ar- mond Freed. Harold Hieland, Eugene Hull, Francis Jones, Forrest Kindle. Earl Peterson, John Stahl, Stanley Strohl, Lewis Warde, and Edward Bach. This is the largest class that has evev graduated from the Eighth Grade in the history of the Cut Bank public schools. It is a class to be proud of. H. J.

We also wish to thank the people of Cut Bank who loaned us furniture for the staging of the play. They have been ever- willing to help us at any t'me and we certainly appreciate their hdp.

The banquet was given in the Home Economics Hall, which was artistically decorated in the High School colors, purple and gold, and the sweet pea, the Sen- ior class flower. The same color scheme was carried out in the table decorations and in the dainty place cards, menus and favors. Toasts were interspersed throughout the evening, forming pleasant interruptions between the courses of the banquet. Ralph Micken acted as toast- master and gave the address of welcome. Paul Hershey’s talk on “What Have I Gained From My Four Years at High School” contained some wrell worth-while thoughts. Alma Heath in telling “What We Hone to Have Left to the Lower Classmen” added a humorous note as well as bring- ing out some serious meaning. Other toasts were: Miss Miesen, “What I Think of My Seniors”; Mr. Peterson, “Senior Intelli- gence” ; Mr. Griese, “An Opinion of the Seniors and Juniors”; Mr. Frank Seal. “What the School Board Thinks of Our High School”; and a farewell toast by Mr. Bakeman. The fac- ulty members in their talks ex- pressed appreciation of the work done in the school by the Sen- iors and the members of the other classes, especially com- mening the way the students have cooperated with the facul- ty. Mr. Seal and Mr. Bakeman gave interesting and instruct- ive talks, their words displaying the interest both men have tak- en in the work of our school. The four-course dinner was very delicious and was much en- ioyed by all. It was served by the Freshmen girls and prepared by the mothers of the Juniors. A pleasant and wholesome spirit was felt throughout the evening, testifying to the suc- cess of the banquet. Those pres- ent were the Seniors, the Jun- iors, the members of the High School faculty, and the members of the School Board and their wives. The members of the class of 1924 wish to take this opportu- nity to thank the Juniors for the good time afforded them. P. E. H. ’24 ----4 Junior-Senior Prom The Junior-Senior Prom was given Friday, May 16th, in the High School Auditorium. Those present were the High School students, the High School Fac- ulty, the Alumni, the School Board and their wives, and a few others who at one time had at- tended the Cut Bank School. The Auditorium was decora- ted in a very artistic manner in the High School colors, purple and gold. The music was furnished by the Davis Orchestra and was ap- preciated very much. A good time was had by all and we, the Seniors, especially enjoyed the Prom and wish to thank the Juniors for showing us such a good time. q � 24 -------4� ----- Mrs. Shannon—You had the same topic to report as Lester, didnt’ you, Harold?

But with what in- credible swiftness it has come upon us. Almost too swiftly for us to realize that our school days, unless we enter college, are at an end. How vaguely can we surmise what lies before us. But what- ever it shall be, we must appre- ciate the background that our High School days have furnished for it. And as each year passes there is little doubt that we will more and more realize how greatly these four years of our life have helped us to cope with fate. As students we perhaps sense only the monotony of days and days of school. In our youth and enthusiasm we long for more freedom, and gaiety, and less discipline, but we as Seniors will soon learn that the opportunity given us of attending High School will make these very things more easily attainable. The American High School of today is broader and deeper than the college or university of sev- eral centuries ago; consequently the present day High School graduate has a store of well or- ganized knowledges background of practical information and an insight on life that equals that of the college graduate of long ago. So let Commencement r?ally mean commencement; a begin- ning of something infinitely worth while, the first rung of the ladder that leads to achieve- ment and happiness. — — NEWS NOTES Monday, May 12th. the Home Economics Class, under the su- pervision of Miss Miesen, served a very delicious dinner to the members of the School Board in the Home Economics Hall. Miss Rose Brandt, the rural school supervisor, gave some verv interesting demonstrations on “Methods of Teaching” in the seventh grade room Wednesday, April 23. This demonstration was for the benefit of the grade teachers and the Seniors inter- ested in teaching. The grades as well as the high school observed Arbor Day. With the assistance of the Com- mercial Club, the pupils did some very remarkable work. The school grounds were raked, the weeds burned, and all rub- bish hauled away. A number of shrubs and trees were planted, each class planting a tree in commemoration of the day. At a recent class meeting the Seniors changed their class flow- er to the sweet pea. It had pre- viously been the shooting star. The cooking class, with the aid of Miss Miesen and a few others, served a delicious dinner to the Commercial Club in the gymnasium Wednesday evening, May 14th. A preposition test was given in the high school the first of May. A number of sentences were given to the students, the sentences containing one hun- dred prepositions which were to be marked. The Seniors received the highest average, which was 85.6. Miss Funnell was confined to her room because of sickness last week and was unable to at- tend school. The Seniors are now sporting their new pennant and feel very proud of the blue and silver, be- ing always ready to defend it. Pearl Hessler was chosen val- edictorian of the Senior Class, having an average of 92.7, and Merle Duncan salutatorian with an average of 92.6. The Seniors recently took a number of pictures of the Senior Class as well as of the cast of the play, “Betty’s Last Bet.” Mr. Griese with a number of the high school bovs motored to the Marias River the morning of Arbor Day for trees and shrubs. Examinations were given May 19 and 20. The Juniors have taken the responsibility of decorating for Commencement and we are con- fident the decorations will be very satisfactory. 94 Miss Cherry Blossom The operetta which was given by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra on April 25th was one of the most successful entertainments given this year. The story of 1 he play was centered about Ev- elyn Barnes, an American child left an orphan in Japan and brought up as a Japanese maid- en under the care of Kokemo. When she was eighteen, Worth- ington, her father's former sec- retary, returned to Japan with a party of American friends. Evelyn, or “Cherry Blossom,” who wras supposed to marry a Japanese politician, falls in love with one of the Americans. She receives all her rightful proper- ty and all ends happily for them. The stage, which was decora- ted to represent a Japanese gar- den, was very artistically trim- med and arranged so that it was very realistic. The operetta wras very much appreciated by the public. The cast was as follows: Cherry Blossom........Alice Olsen Kokemo...............Ralph Micken John Henry Smith......Arthur Zion Henry Foster Jones Robert Johnson James Young:..........Edward Seal Jessica Vanderpool....Alma Heath Chorus—Geisha Girls, American Girls, American Bovs. A.
