--------Pa§e 5. ieh Class Will We the Senior Class of Cut Bank High School do make and subscribe this our Last Will and Testament. The following things we leave to be done as our last wish— Item—To the faculty we leave the responsibil- ity of providing as learned a class within the next fifty years as are graduating in this year of 1928. If this part of our last will is not attended to all provision for their future happiness automatical- ly becomes null and void. Item—Also, to our dear faculty we leave our best wishes, to be sold, rented leased or kept, as they see fit. Item—To Mr. Davis the class leaves all surplus money (which amounts to one, one half cent stamp) this money is to be put in a trust fund for a period of ten years after which it is to be spent by the benefactor solely for his personal pleasure. Item—To Mr. Morgan the class leaves the power of giving all of our Senior privileges to future last year classmen in any manner that he sees right, fit and just. To Miss Faun the Seniors will all old and poor- ly written themes, which they have entrusted to her care, that they might receive a grade, the only provision being that she will not point them out to the future generations aa exemplifying our past work. Also we will many long winter eve- nings in the future to her that she may have an abundance of time to put little red checks on fu- ture attempts at composition. We v;sh her God Speed in her work. To Mr. Pooley we will all the typing paper with only one side used that he may use it in his work in the future. We all give all our speed records to him that he may boast of this class in the fu- ture. To Miss Malicke, the Seniors leave all the beans that were left over from their lunch. They also leave her the duty of coaching all future Senior plays. To Miss Turck, the Seniors leave one ream of perfectly good paper that she may have plenty of paper upon which to inscribe the names whom love of whispering have blest. To all future classes, the Seniors leave desk number 5 (to be duly counted, designated and located, from the rear for the sole purpose of keeping and holding all copies of current maga- zines. The only limiting provision for this is that “Western Story” and “Ace High” shall be kept in chronlogical order and filed because there are many very valuable continued stories in these worthy periodicals. Also we recommend that the faculty should be kept unaware concerning the use and misuse of this desk. FURTHER as Individuals of this Class we give and bequeath the following property: Item—Lewis Warde wills to Margaret Dewing the right to trap all skunks, gophers, and the like on the hill inside the corporate limits.

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.

Anna Mace leaves Clarence to any girl who will send him an occasional wire when they are not having letters regularly. She also wills to Allan Teeple the presidency of the High School. The only requirement of this appointment is that he receive special practice in Parlamentary Law and its practice and that he receive the vote of the ma- jority of the High School for the position. Jean McLean leaves to Urania Locke all the names and dates she has had with the different boys in Cut Bank and elsewhere, to be used as a reference so that she may know which boys to with and which not to. Forest Kindle leaves to anyone who wants it, his position in the H. S. Orchestra. He also leaves his superflous fat to Lloyd Hall. (To be Used as Directed.)

Valedictory Tonight, dear friends, we the class of '28 come together for the last time as a Senior class. When we first entered school, “Graduation” was a word with little meaning to us, but, as we grew old- er, we came to know what it means and to strive for it as for a far away goal that we would some- day hoped to reach. Tonight we have attained our goal, and we are happy in our triumph, though we can not tell what the future has to offer us. We feel that tonight is a turning point in our lives. Heretofore we have faced our joys and tr. pole together. Henceforth we must go our individual ways, perhaps to success—we hope not to failure. We realize that the strangers we will meet will not treat us with the same kindness and consideration that our parents, teachers and classmates have. As we look back ever the way we have come, it does not seem long as it once did. We forget the heartaches and sorrows and remember only the pleasures we have had. We realize tonight as never before just what Graduation really means and what has been done for us. We rea- lize too, what our Graduation means to our par- ents who have made so many sacrifices to give us a high school education. We remember the many kindnesses of the patrons of the school who nave kept our school going; we think of the Board cf Education and what they have done; and then v e remember with gratitude how much extra time and how much patient labor oui teachers Lave put in to prepare us for a successful future. At every Graduation Exercise there is more or less parting, but we feel that we have an unusual situation here due to the terminal’s going out. Many people whom we have known and valued as friends for so long are obliged to move away— some perhaps never to return; but we feel that even if they can not be with us in person, they are in spirit. Some few may forget, but we as a Graduating Class will never forget our dear old Cut Bank High nor the many friends we have here. To the patrons of the school, to the Board of Education, to our parents, to our teachers, and to our many many friends, all of whom have help- ed to make our school days the happiest days of our lives—we, the class of ’28 say farewell.
