emc t 0 The class of '38 began its high school career on a September morning of 1934. The class, fifty-one strong, quickly entered into the routine of high school life. Every member of the class appeared at the initiation and proved themselves able to withstand the most fiendish punishments devised by the upperclassmen. Later that year we officiated at a return party for the upperclassmen. Except for the presentation of an assembly program, that concluded our social activities for the year. Class officers for the year were Merlin Fisk, president; June Oliver, vice-president; Bud Momberg, secretary, and Ardis Dawson, treasurer. Our sponsor was Miss Phillips. In September of 1935, we bequeathed the title Frosh to the incoming class and assumed the role of upperclassmen. During our Sophomore year the class won a name for itself athletically. Buzz Lutz, Doug MacCarter, Jim Money and Bill Rieland won places on the football and basketball teams while the Sophomore girls captured the G. A. A. Interclass basketball trophy. Our sponsor for the year was Mr. Cornn. Officers were, Doug MacCarter, president; Buzz Lutz, vice-president; June Oliver, secretary; Juanita Harper, treasurer. The main task before us as Juniors was the Junior Prom. In the management of this we earned an enviable reputation. To support the financial side of the Prom, we presented as the class play, a comedy-farce, Who Wouldn't be Crazy. The success of the play was due largely to the direction of Miss Krogness and Mr. Aahl, our class sponsors. Our officers during the year were Dorothe Judson, president; Bill Rieland, vice-president; Doug MacCarter, secretary; and June Oliver, treasurer. And finally we arrived at our goal—the Senior year. This year we elected Frank Denny, president; Buzz Lutz, vice-president; Jim Money, secretary; and June Oliver, treasurer. As sponsors we were happy to have Mr. Davis and Mr. Keyes. Our main achievements of the year were the production of Booth Tarking-ton's Seventeen as the class play, under the direction of Mr. Horsley, and the publication of this annual. We, as a class, have entered whole-heartedly into school activities. In music, scholastics, athletics, forensics, dramatics, and journalism we have shown our ability. We believe that we carry from this high school an enviable record. The years spent in Cut Bank High School have been both pleasant and profitable, and we leave it now, proud to be classed as alumni of the school we love. 115)

 Seventeen, a riotous four-act comedy, was presented by the Senior class of '38 on December third. This drama was taken from Booth Tarkinqton's famous novel of the same name. James Bell in the role of William Sylvanus Baxter, discovered that love can produce come very discomforting situations for a youth of seventeen. As Jane, Willie's talkative little sister, Doris Hatch, proved a very realistic and troublesome twelve-year-old. As parents of Willie and Jane, Gerald Berger and Roslyn Norman found that the ridiculous antics of their son provided more than one difficulty. The part of Lola Pratt was enacted by Philippa Landry, who proved thoroughly adept in the art of baby talk. As Lola's hostess, May Parcher (Bernita Sodergren) found that her guest's attraction for the swains of the town created a family, (or shall we say a neighborhood) problem of some magnitude. Comedy was supplied by Genesis (Frantz Cox), the negro servant, and Mr. Parcher (Clinton Harvey), May's distraught father. Joe Bullitt (Merlin Fisk) and Johnny Watson (Jack Alger) revealed themselves as dangerous rivals arid fair-weather friends to the long-suffering Willie. Burl Cobb, as the rich and spoiled George Crooper, proved himself a villain worthy of the name. Le Roy Rush, Natalie Morrow, and Joan Minette in the roles of Wallie Banks, Mary Brooks, and Ethel Boke, respectively, completed the cast as friends of May Parcher and Willie Baxter. The best performance of the evening, however, was that of the one and only canine actress, Flopit Edwards. Much of the success of this play was due to the capable direction of Mr. Horsley. Also aiding in the production of the play were Joan Rigney as property manager and prompter, LeRoy Rush as stage manager, and Merlin Fisk as electrician. Dear Diary: I had the most thrilling adventure today. This morning I decided to attend the lecture at which the new Omnivision machine was to be demonstrated. Imagine my surprise to discover, upon my arrival, that the lecturer was none other than Jim Bell, who has. apparently, lost none of his old gift of gab. After the lecture I went back to discuss old timed with Jim and he kindly offered to show me the remarkable possibilities of his machine. He claimed that by simply concentrating on certain persons this wonderful machine could find them and thus ascertain their present activities. Being somewhat dubious i' suggested that we look in on our former classmates. We decided first to locate our class president of ‘38, Frank Denney. No, Frank was tiot operating the Orpheum Theater; he had risen in the world and was now one of Hollywood's greatest producers having bought out Selznick's interests. Frank, always a man of action, had just completed casting the long awaited Gone With the Wind, with the role of Rhett Butler being played by Merlin Fish, conceded to be the greatest feminine heartthrob since Gable or Taylor. Personally, we never thought Merlin the Rhett type, but Hollywood is a place of queer ideas. In a crowded cafeteria of a large mid-western city was Clinton Harvey, the perfect example of the nation's small business man. He had his paper open to the sports page where he was evidently reading an article by America's Greatest Football Coach, Buzz Lutz. We observed that the title of the article was I-ove Making as Applied to Football Tactics. George Grout, who headed the list of the year's best dressed men, is still a confirmed bachelor and a Manhattan man-about-town. Gerald Berger, on the other hand, is practicing dry-farming on his ranch several miles north of Cut Bank. We also found in the city of Cut Bank. Helen Meade and Dick Kindle. Helen is a respected matron of the community while Dick has succeeded his father as janitor at the grade school and is a great favorite with the kiddies. Philippa Landry is successfully managing The Elite Finishing School at Ann Arbor. Imagine our surprise to find that No. 2867 of The Rock is none other than Johnny Anderson. Johnny, we hear, is in for bigamy. Florine Stewart has gone over to the enemy and is directing the Pet Squad at Shelby. Mary Louise Murphy is busily employed writing an advice to the lovelorn column entitled. Ask Aunt Lucy. Jim Money, havina finally won the fair lady's hand, is settled comfortably with Mary Jane Sullivan at his dude ranch in the Park. Claire Denney is establishing residence in Reno in preparation for her fifth divorce. As we looked in she was telling newsmen (for the fifth time), He just didn’t understand me. r i71
