Cl ass History T H E OWLE T On one bright September morning in 1927 the following green little Freshmen enrolled in C. B. H. S.: Dorothy Benish, Emile Bonnet, Minnie Brose, Bernard Klein, William Dewing, Louise Haglund, Loyd Hall, George Johnston, Arne Johnston, Thomas Jones, Earlene Lahr, Irene McLean, Harry Morgan, Mabel Morgan, Virginia Phillips, Geraldine Rush, Mary Rocke, Ruth Strong, Esther Stufft, Norman Vasboe, Opal Welch, Helen Winkler, Hazel Sullivan and Molly Flagget. They were initiated and became one of the four groups struggling toward graduation. They found joys and sorrows in High School, but ended the year saying that High School was grand. In the fall of ’28 we came back but Dorothy Benish, Opal Welch, Bernard Klein, William Dewing, Loyd Hall, Gei'aldine Rush, Hazel Sullivan and Molly Flagget were missing. We had attached Michael Burke and Daisy Taylor. The Sophomore year wasn’t exciting, but then it never is. In 1929 we came back full fledged Juniors. During that year we had many activities, a Play, Prom, Banquet and many other activities. We had two new members, Helen Henry and Archie Corrigeux. Mary Rocke and Earlene Lahr were missing. That year ended with high expectations for the next. Seniors at last! Oh how good it felt to come back in ’30, optimistic and dignified Seniors. The membership was: Louise Haglund, Esther Stufft, Irene McLean, Harry Morgan, Emile Bonnet, Ruth Strong, George Johnston, Arne Johnston, Mabel Morgan, Michael Burke, Thomas Jones, Helen Henry, Helen Winkler, Virginia Phillips, Minne Brose and Archie Corrigeux. Archie and Minnie dropped out before the end of the first quarter. Preparation for graduation and all other Senior activities were carried out nicely. Now we have reached the heighth of our ambition since we started school. Will we go on like true Seniors from C. B. H. S. should, or will we fall into some rut and stay there? Time alone can tell.

THE OWLST 7 Class Prophlcy Supposedly in 1961 Not long ago I passed through Chicago on my way to New York. I stopped off to do some business. I stayed in one of the good hotels and while I was in the lobby who should come in but Professor Harry Morgan. I hardly recognized him as one of the class of ’31 of C. B. H. S., he had changed so much. He had gray hair and would you believe it, he had a beard that came to a point at his chin and gave him a very dignified, knowing look. We started a conversation and he told me he had just perfected a machine that enabled you to see any one at any time; all you had to do was say the name and look through a lens. The fact that I had seen him brought back memories of ’31. I asked about the rest of the gang. He invited me to his exclusive bachelor residence to see for myself. We left immediately for his home. There we had a delightful dinner. I had about three hours to spend before train time so I asked to see the machine right after dinner. He took me to his laboratory and set up the machine. I called for George Johnston first, and right before me he appeared. He was seated on the grandstand of a great race track. It seems that he had acquired an extraordinary taste for fillies when he was a senior; and so ever since he had been following the races. I next called for Helen Winkler. There she was in her little apartment at Great Falls. She was employed in the Building and Loan Association and getting along fine. But still unmarried. But then what would the world do without old maids ? Thomas Jones was the next one called. Believe it or not, he was the king of the Underworld right there in “Chi”. He had run “Scar Face Al” out three years after he left C. B. H. S. and Cut Bank. I was beginning to get a tremendous kick out of that machine. Ruth Strong was asked for. She appeared in a funny looking city. American cities didn’t look like that. She was seated at a piano and singing scales. Gradually it dawned on me that she was studying music in Paris. Ruth had been in a train wreck and besides wrecking a new hat, her voice was also wrecked. She was in Paris trying to get it back. By the way, she didn’t have any neighbors left. They all left the first week after her arrival. “Arne Johnston,” I called. As if by magic he appeared. I’d like to go on forever telling about Arne and his surroundings but all I have time to say now is that he was a storekeeper on Mars.
