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.

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.

--------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.

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.

Item—Alice Johnston leaves to Irene McLean her slender figure and also a table of foods, cal- ories and vitamines which she says she consults whenever she feels the urge to lose weight.

MEANING OF THE GREEN AND GOLD Page 7-------- When Freshmen, the class of '28 chose green and gold as their class colors. Green stands for new life, vitality, achievement and the power to grow. Power to Grow, is well illustrated by the present spring time. Take for example a leafless tree standing in its solitary brown dress. What's the matter with it? Why does it look dark and lifeless? Because it is dead! On the other hand notice a tree or some other vegetation with its vivid green buds and leaves. Young, fresh and eager to grow, it will some day develop into beautiful blossoms and plants that the whole world will appreciate. So with our class, young, fresh, eager to grow and to accomp- lish something of importance. With their green leaves now budding they will some day reap the fruits of this growth in good citizenship, a worthy place in the world’s work and a share in the world”s pleasures. Gold represents the classes wealth. Not necessarily in money, but in ability, personality and talents. As you know gold has always been regarded as the highest standard of monetary val- ue. The government of our country issues bonds and paper money, but in their treasuries they have gold to back these. The gold dollar is the standard of worth for us. That is, we want to look for things of trueworth in our future life. Not brass or copper, but pure gold, in undertak- ings, work or play. But we must remember, that as gold comes in small quantities at high prices, so we shall have to pay in energy and effort for the worth while things in life. So green and growing, we shall endeavor to strive for the gold or true worth in life, with our class colors ever to guide us. J. R. M.—'28. CLASS DAY PROGRAM Address of Welcome ................

Ruth Baird Class Will...............................Stuart Whetstone Meaning of the Green and Gold.....Jean McLean Class Prophecy “Old Class Reunion' Class of '28 Class Song and Class Yell Salutatory --------------------— We the class of 1928 welcome you here to- night to our Commencement exercises. Truly, says the ancient proverb: “Woe to the man who builds a big door and not a house be- hind it! which may be interpreted, “Woe to him who makes a big display and has not the where- with to support that display. For four years we have been preparing for life. We have been laying the solid foundations of the substantial house we have planned, of which this Commencement exercise is but a modest doorway. And we believe this is the right way to seek suc- cess. “Success —just what do we mean by the word? Listen to any group of people discussing some one who, so they say, “has succeded in life. “Tom has succeded exceptionally well, he owns such and such property and has all kinds of money in the bank. How well Bessie has done—her hus- band is worth several millions. Are such no- tions of success correct? Is a high financial rat- ing the only attainment that may entitle one to be called successful? How about the mother whose children are healthy and happy? Is she not a success? And the man who spends his time al- leviating human misery and reducing sin—he is surely worthy of the term successful. And to the faithful and competent laborer, Longfellow pays this tribute:— Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through life he goes Each morning sees some task begun, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night’s repose. With the ida of service to others incorporated in the definition of “success each member of the class may hope to attain a large quantity of this desired commodity. We feel that the world has need of us, we are prepared and anxious for serv- ice, and though it will be hard to break the ties that bind us to our school, it is with a feeling of satisfaction that we look forward to assuming new and more responsible positions in the work of the world. “We live in deeds, not years, in thoughts, not breaths; in feelings, not on figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.”
