COMMAND OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PROCESSES Perhaps none of the seven cardinal principles of secondary education is more important to the individual than a complete command of the fundamental processes. By fundamental processes I mean reading, writing and arithmetic, the basic subjects being taught. Other subjects, such as spelling and grammar or English are of course important. In order to prepare for the superior positions, one must have a good foundation in the fundamentals. Failure to master these fundamental principles has disqualified many a man and woman for the positions of profit and responsibility. English must be carefully considered for a person is largely judged by the English he uses. Even in the very first grades the foundation or basis for good English is begun, and carried through the rest of the grades, and then applied to the high school subjects. Penmanship has been a great barrier but through the advancing methods of the day this is being largely obliterated. The present methods of reading are very superior to the older types. With the ability which he has derived from the new method, of reading rapidly and comprehensively, a student entering high school is able to cover a great deal of material and to understand what he reads. Again in arithmetic we have the fundamentals being first taught in the grades and then applied to the high school courses. Realizing the benefits of a thorough mastery of reading, writing and arithmetic, more time is being devoted to these subjects. There is a greater application of the results of research and scientific technique to the problems of instruction. This study and work is greatly repaid by the rising ability of students to think for themselves and the more complete mastery of the tools of learning. Proficiency in the fundamental processes has been greatly increased by their practical application in extra-curricular activities and even in the subjects themselves. Practical education enables one to continue his own education if he is unable to attend a college. Many a person, after graduating from high school is faced with the necessity of earning his own living, or for various reasons is not able to continue his education directly. This person must seek other methods of adding to his knowledge. With the foundation he has received in his elementary and high school courses, he is able to go out into society and take his place as a desirable member, and that is the goal toward which all mankind is working. HELEN PETERSON, Salutatorian. ETHICAL CHARACTER Of al the aims of the educational system, perhaps the most important is that which has to do with moulding good ethical character. Character is the sum of a person’s reactions to certain situations. Since character is developed as the child grows older, much can be done to mould it along the most desirable lines. The great responsibility of moulding and developing character rests on the home, the church, and the school. In school the child is taught book knowledge and also the importance of good character. As the child matures he comes to realize that what he will be in later life depends a good deal on what foundations he is laying today. When the student reaches high school he comes to a broader horizon. Here the finishing touches are put on his education and he is ready to go into the world and take his place as a citizen. During the high school course, the student has many resources at his command and learns to depend upon himself more and more. Here he is able to test his strengths and weaknesses and remedy them if such is the necessity. Some instruction is given on character building but more important than this is the personal influence of the teacher The teacher cultivates good traits in the students by setting a good example. The aim of the school system is to turn out people with high moral standards as well as with high intellectual standards. After this brief anlysis of the aims of the course which we have brought to completion, we, the class of 1934, cannot but feel grateful to the people who have made is possible. Although we owe a great debt to many people we feel that we can justify their faith in us by fulfilling the purpose for which all these twelve years of preparation were made. Tonight we stand before you as the graduating class of 1934. Tonight we must pass from the classroom to a greater workshop— the world. Our days of preparation are over and we are ready to pit our mental and moral strength against the world. We are filled with regret that we must leave behind our high school days and their happy memories but this feeling is outweighed by an eager desire to apply the lessons which we have learned well. We cannot fail if we keep our class motto ever before us — “We can, we will.” WENDELL POORE, Valedictorian 12— i

JUNIOR CLASS Reading from left to right—first row: Gae Berger, Lillian Sullivan, Ruth Warde, Evelyn Stewart, Helen Olson, Edna Powell, Melba Johnson: second row: Stella Narducci, Helen Johnson, Ralph Strong, Leo Zuelke ) Robert Pepper, Lloyd Johnson, Kenneth Pugerud, Eugene Simpson, Betty Rieland, Albertine Halvorson; third row: Jack Stow-er, Lloyd Frisbee, Lloyd Mattson, Orville Schutte, Conrad Walburger, Merle Magee, Donald Henry, Albert Butler, Clifford Tete-rud, Mr. Taylor, advisor. We, the class of ’35, started out as a group of extremely green Freshmen, but we early had our spunk taken out of us by the initiation. We showed the upperclassmen that we could “dish it out as well as take it’’ by a return party which was a huge success. As Freshmen our class enrollment was 36 which included the following members: Donald Henry, Mildred Bedord, Kathryn Bliss, Chris Hagen, Evelyn Westfall, Evelyn Stewart, Evelyn Cole, Helen Olson, Bernice Omsberg, Melba Johnson, Edward Hughes, Lloyd Johnson, Clifford Teterud, Albertine Halvorson, Thomas Evanson, Leonard Davis, Edna Paul, Edna Powell, Betty Reiland, Stella Narducci, Merle Magee, Louis Bonnet, Orville Echutte, Robert Pepper, Conrad Walburger, Gae Berger, Eugene Simpson, Mary Klein, Lloyd Frisbee, Lillian Sullivan, Jack Welch, Ralph Strong. Those who drop- ped during that year are Evelyn Westfall, Evelyn Cole, Leonard Davis, Edna Paul, and Louis Bonnet. Our Sophomore year started out with a bang by our class enlarging a few members, namely: Jessie and Helen Johnson (who dropped before the end of the term) and Thomas Evanson. One of the activties during the Sophomore year was the giving of an assembly program “Sparkin.” The actors and characters were Orry Sparks, Lloyd Johnson; Lesie, Albertine Halvorson; Grandmother Pains-berry, Evelyn Stewart; and the mother, Susan, Helen Johnson. This play went over big and was given along with the Junior play to help them out as there’s alone would not have been quite long enough. Thus far in our Junior year our enrollment has been increased by the addition of Kenneth Pugerude, Jack Stower and Hazel Overdahl. Hazel dropped out shortly after starting and Mary Klein also. Edward Hughes did not start with us at the beginning of this year. We feel proud of our boys who have made the first team in basketball and football. They are: Merle Magee, Conrad Walburger, Chris Hagen, Orville Schuette and Eugene Simpson, and we feel that we have set a record in athletics that is hard to beat. We have great hopes in our Junior play and Prom and hope that they will rank among the best ever given in Cut Bank. —14—
