Davis Printed by the Cut Bank Pioneer Press Passing of the Class of ’28 The class of '28 are about to pass into a realm of ever broadening knowledge. We have learned all that is possible in our four brief years of High School life. We have learned lesson upon lesson, some to forget and some that we shall never forget. We have been a serious class, realizing our duties and never hesitating to accomplish what at times seemed the impossible. Of course we were ignorant of many things when we first ventured to occupy the Freshman row. We were very self-centered, proud of our- selves and just a little afraid that somebody was going to make fun of us. Instead of expecting friends we expected enemies and consequently were not very well liked by our upper classmen. We were one as a body then, but later as the years rolled by and we took up other rows in the As- sembly, we did not cooperate as well. It took us until we were Seniors to learn the great import- ance which cooperation plays in all our lives. Our class has won many laurels. We have tak- en three blue ribbons at the District Contest, and most of our members have high averages in schol- arship. We have given two plays which will always be remembered, and whatever we undertook we did well. And now as the time drawrs near when we must leave we hesitate to depart; but we realize that we have covered the first distance and we must now take a bigger and farther step toward that goal that shines before us. IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A GOAL IN LIFE It is very important that one must have a goal in life. A goal is something to look forward to. If one has something to look forward to there will be a much greater chance for success. Every- time one would get disgusted and decide to quit a vision of that much cherished goal'Twould come into his mind. It would aid perseverance and spur the individual on. A student ,upon entering high school should have an idea of what his or her life work shall be. This is very necessary so that the subjects maybe taken which will aid in the preparation for this work. If one has no goal in life he will wander aimlessly through the four years of high school with no other objective than to merely “go to school ’ If there is no goal the subjects will be chosen by the amount of work needed to prepare them and not from the standpoint of value. If the goal is not formed soon enough there will be no foundation for college training. The real foundation of later life is laid during the four years of training in the high school. The goal should be a worthy one and placed high. It should be high because, although one may not reach it, he will reach a higher level than if th 3 goal were low. A worthy goal is one that is honorable. It should not be one for love of money, only, but one that will be of most service to others as well as the individual. r » ♦ I ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ » ! ! ♦ ♦ I I i Class Poem lTp rugged paths and steep wo’ve climbed To reach the mountain smiling. Nor turned aside for pleasure’s call, So honeyed and beguiling. Kach heart was bound by purpose deep. Like bands of steel entwining. To reach the prize on heights above, A prize in radiance shining. The heights are reached toward whieh we toiled In dark and sunny weather Then must we part forgetting all The days thus passed together? O’ say not so, as in the past Class spirit we kept burning, Let now a purpose quite as strong Mark every year's returning. A purpose deep and well-defined Within each heart’s recesses To help the world along, nor pause For pleasure’s false caresses. To freely give the world our best. To this our word is plighted. In this, as in all other things We stand, a class united. ■4

Co-Operation of Business Men and Townspeople Is Appreciated The class of ’28 wishes to take this opportun- ity to thank the business men and the town's people for their excellent cooperation along the line of advertisements. Without their assistance the “Owlet” could not have been a success finan- cially. “AND HOME CAME TED” The Senior play “And Home Came Ted” was very successfully given December 17th, 1927. The part of the young Irish hotel clerk, Skeet Kelley, was very well played by Stuart Whet- stone. i Thelma Anderson played the part of the heir- ess in a very clever manner. The spinster, Lois Strong, brought consider- able humor into otherwise dry scenes. John Stahl took the part of the mysterious character Mr. Man. His real purpose at the Inn was not revealed until the close of the last act. Ira Stone, the villain, tried all methods to win out, but he did not do so because of the efforts of those who opposed him. This part was taken by Stanley Strohl. Ruth Baird played the part of Aunt Jubilee, the cook. She was the most humorous charact- er in the play. Forrest Kindle took the part of the lawyer, Jim Ryker, in a very commendable manner. Anna Mace acted the part of Mollie Macklin. She searched for Ted, and did not give up until he was found. Alice Johnston took the part of Henrietta Dar- by. the widow from Honolulu. The part of Ted, the grcom, was taken by Fran- cis Jones. Elsie, the bride, was Jean McLean. She played the part very well. Senator McCorkle, Elsie's father, was well played by Lewis Warde. — -------------------------——------------ FIFTEENTH ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT CUT BANK HIGH SCHOOL Baccalaureate Address High School Auditorium SUNDAY EVENING, MAY 20th 1928 Eight O’clock Hymn—Twilight Reveries .........Buntley (High School Chorus) Scripture Reading........

Page 4 Class History On the eventful morn of Sept. 7, 1924, the Royal Army of ’28 gathered its forces and attack- ed the Forts of Learning. Twenty-nine willing Out meek students enlisted in the regiment to fight for an education. These twenty-nine were: Margaret Anderson, Thelma Anderson, Ruth Baird, William Britton, John Connolly, Archie Corrigeux, Myrtle Dahlen, Lavem Dunbar, Ar- mand Freed, Harold Heiland, Eugene Hull, Alice Johnston, Robert Johnston, Frames Jores, Kather- ine Kemmer, Forrest Kindle, Anna Mace, Verna Mallo, Jean McLean, Tessie Micken, Earl Peter- son Clyde Parker, Edith Potter, John Stahl, Stan- ley Strohl, Lillian Swensgard, Bernetta Teeple, Lewis Warde and Stuart Whetstone. The already experienced soldiers thought it their privilege and supreme right to initiate the Royal Army of '28. This they proceeded to do at the first possible moment. Our president, Eugene Hull, one of the smallest of the class was robed in infant attire and soothed to sleep with a bottle of milk. The rest of the regiment of ’28 were treated as the upper classmen saw fit. The pun- ishment was by all means .severe, but we surviv- ed the treatment. After the initiation, the upper classmen admitted us as full fledged high school members and gave a party in our honor. In due time we returned the party with the proper school spirit. We took part in all social and athletic activ- ities. In the inter-class debate, we wen from the Sophmores but lost to the Seniors. By the end oi the year we had conquered Ancient History, English and Algebra, three of the hardest sub- jects This gave us hope that we could make the rest. At roll call the second year we found that we had lost eight members: John Connolly, Eugene Hull, Archie Corrigeux, Lavern Dunbar, Edith Potter, Lillian Swensgard, Margaret Anderson and Earl Petersen. This loss was partly made up by the addition of five new recruits: Felix Bonnet, Sam Dunbar, Anna Meade, Lois Strong and Ray Minnette. Before starting the real battles of the day, we exercised our privilege of initiating the recruits of '29, passing on all of the severeness of our in- itiation plus a large number of new and novel i- dcas cf our own. We took a more forward part in the social activities and were well represented in athletic, declamatory contests, and the like. At the end of the second year we were grieved to learn that we were to lose our beloved superintend- ent, General Peterson, who had guided us so suc- cessfully through the first two years of our bat- tle for education. At the beginning of the third year, when the bugle was sounded, we found ourselves with a new general. This was General Morgan, who was des- tined to guide us successfully through the remain- ing two years of our battle for an education. Those of our members who did not show up for roll call for the third year were: Felix Bonnet, William Britton, John Connolly, Myrtle Dahlen, Sam Dunbar, Anna Meade, Bernetta Teeple, Ar- mond Freed and Verna Mallo. To make up for the loss we added but one new recruit, Wilma Miller. We proceeded in high spirits, taking the leading part in all activities, being well represented in everything cf any importance. We gave a play “Safety First which was a big success. The pro- ceeds from this were used in giving one of the most successful Junior Proms and Banquets ev- er held in the history of the Cut Bank HighSchool. We began our last year in high spirits. We had lost only four the previous year. They were: Wilma Miller, Clyde Parker, Ray Minnette, and Katherine Kemmer. This time we added one new recruit, Robert Young. Again we took the leading part in all of the social activities and were well represented in all of the high school ac- tivities. Robert Johnston quit us shortly after we had begun the last great battle. We gave a play entitled “And Home Came Ted. The suc- cess of this play was only equaled by the one which we had given the previous year. The Jun- ior class of '29 gave us a Prom and Banquet which was enjoyed and appreciated by the Royal Seniors of 1928. Summing up our history briefly we find that during the four years we lost twenty-two mem- bers and added seven. This means that of the or- iginal twenty-nine that started out, twelve are here tonight, and of the seven new recruits we have but two left, leaving in all, fourteen mem- bers of the Royal Army of '28 to receive the re- ward of their hard earned victories.
