The Edited by the CLASS OF 1939 Gut Itfliik Hifili School ' A Dedication In all the years we have known you both, you have planned and strived for us. May this dedication, in a small measure, commemorate our appreciation. We, the Senior Class of ’39, dedicate this annual to Mother and Dad. In preparing this annual, the Annual Staff has endeavored to show the reader a part of the spirit of progress and good-fellowship that guides our school. In going over each page, we have learned a deeper appreciation of our school and its activities; its faculty and student body. It is the desire of the Annual Staff to convey that same appreciation to you in the “Wolf of ’39. We hope that you will enjoy your annual as much as we have enjoyed its preparation.

Senior Class History Early in the fall of 1935 we entered the high school as extremely green freshmen. To become full fledged members of the high school we were initiated as freshmen. We gave a return party in “appreciation’ for the “courtesy” extended to us during the initiation, and afterward spent the rest of the year in peace. Our sponsor was lr. Taylor; our president. Harold Oien. When we returned to school the fall of 1936 we entered the new high school as its first sophomore class, and were content to preserve our strength that year for our next year’s activities. Mr. Taylor also sponsored us that year and our president was Joe Danens. Upon entering the fall of 1937 we were delightfully surprised to discover that we were now upper-classmen. We took a great interest in school activities and sponsored a very successful Junior Play, “The Ready Made Family.” Our largest program was the Junior Promenade for which the gymnasium was decorated with pine trees and spider webs of crepe paper. Our class officers for that year were: Fred Hughes. President; Lena Chasse, Vice President; Marjorie Williams. Secretary-Treasurer. Our sponsors were Miss Krogness and Mr. Taylor. As seniors we entered school in 1938, happy in the knowledge that that year our efforts would be rewarded with the long sought diploma. Among our greatest achievements for this.year the Senior Class Play, Girl Shy.” the Live Wire, and this, our annual. This year we elected Leonard Pistoria president of our class; Lloyd McClanahan became our vice president and Hetty Linder secretary-treasurer. Our senior boys became the winners of the interclass basketball tournament and two senior girls who were able to win a letter last year received the gold star in the Girls’ Athletic Association. We are now looking forward to graduation. This will be the most important and happy event in our high school career, and yet it will not be without a few tears of regret upon leaving our grand high school, our school friends and teachers. There have been many struggles and difficulties but now that they are over we feel that they have only added more to our experience and memories. As we are leaving all of these we shall always remember the happy, carefree days at Cut Bank High School. May we here express our appreciation and gratitude to Mr. Keyes, and Mr. Davis, our sponsors, for the loyal guidance and encouragement they have given us. the Class of 1939. JUNIOR PROM OF 1938 Last year the class of ’39. then the Juniors, strived to achieve an entirely different theme for their Prom. They attained this by representing a garden in which were cobwebs, and overhead was one large web with a mammoth spider, the daddy of them all. in the center. The orchestra pit was an enclosed corner of the garden surrounded by trees and flowers. Punch was served by two of the eighth grade girls who were dressed as Little Miss Muffets. The punch stand was in the shape of a well and partially hidden by trees. Miss Krogness and Mr. Taylor sponsored the preparation of the Prom and helped the Juniors plan and decorate the gymnasium. [ 17 J Senior Moss Will The seniors sponsored a charity show, giving away all the personality traits which were so dear to them and to the school in 1939.

The railroad dicks began their routes on. one side of the train as two tall. lean, whiskered men jumped out on the other side and stood gazing at their home town. It had changed. It was no longer a small jerk-water town. It was a city, one of the largest in Montana. Their gaze turned toward the high school and they smiled as they remembered their school days and their graduation in ’39. The sunlight drifted lazily through the large windows in the mayor’s office. The mayor sat with his feet cocked upon his desk, lazily turning the thumb-worn pages of the Wolf of ’39. A rather timid knock summoned him from his reverie. Anna Smith, his secretary, announced the arrival of two untidy gentlemen. As the door slowly opened the mayor rose hastily to his feet and uttered an exclamation of welcome to Lome Berger and John Hartford. To their surprise there stood their old school mate. Freddy Hughes, the mayor of Cut Bank. Well, well, my old school chums ” Freddie said. I have just been thinking about you and the rest of the gang of ’39.” Yes. we have met a few of them in our ramblings around the earth. they said. Sit down, sit down—I'd like to find out how some of them are faring in the world. By the way. I suppose you know that 1 emorise Allen is fighting for the World's Championship Boxing title in Madison Square Garden. Leonard Pistoria is coaching the Rosebowl favorites in Southern California and has a whiz of a backfield with the three McClan han brothers. Bill. Daryl, and Lloyd. Harold Olen is coaching the other two favorites in Minnesota: his chief threat is Bill Allison and James Kittson. Those boys have stopped the drives of some of the nation's greatest backfield men. You boys will have to drop around for supper tonight and meet my wife, formerly Lena Chasse. which reminds me some of the rest of the girls are doing pretty well for themselves too. Josephine Zuelke is the head stenographer in the new court house. On my last trip to the Orient, guess whom I met—Mary Lawrence, missionary in China. While talking on the subject of missionaries. Eugene Olson graduated from West Point and wont to the jungles of Belgian Congo where he captured himself a tribe of African pigmies and is now teaching them the advantages of modern warfare. Lon Aubrey has made Cut Bank famous with his realistic Indian tales and illustrations. Isaac Ferres is the best newspaper man the Cut Bank Times ever developed. 1 happened to run across Ruth Brown in Paris she is a dress designer—her brother George has founded a home for people caught in the epidemics of Bookkeeping Bugs and Senior Science Insanity, while in high school. Ralph Gordon was found teaching at the Vassal . I guess he has at last found his heart’s desire ami life occupation concluded the mayor. That is very interesting. said Lome but in our travels we have met others of our old friends. We found Joe Danens running a bowling alley down in Denver. We talked with Barbara Small who is down in Iowa where she is settled peacefully down in married life and where she probably will remain. Virginia Ewing is the manager of the Ladies' Ready to Wear Department in the Frederick and Nelson in Seattle. Junior Poppler is the president of the Leading Hair Dressers of the World Company. situated at Bombay. India.

Ethel Fuller has become a linotype expert in the New York Times office.

Mark Jones is busily engaged changing the movie star’s countenances. Phillip Michaels is leading a swing orchestra in a hotel in New York City. Edwin Miller is a certified public accountant in Newsberry. Connecticut. Agnes Burd is in charge of the nurses classes in the Mayo Brothers Institute, assisted by Jean O’Loughlin. who is one of the best nurses in the United States today. Evelyn Teterud is a matron in charge of The Girls’ Elite Finishing School at Atlanta. Georgia. Lois Tanabe has gone back to Japan where she has established a research bureau on the manufacture of silk Henry Neldhardt is over in Hawaii teaching some of the natives how to play Hawaiian lullabies. James Mattson is in St. Louis competing for the National Pocket Billiards Championship. Mildred Johnson obtained a Master’s Degree in Jitterbugging and is now giving lessons in Reno. Nevada. James Ness is following in the steps of Hugo Aronson. He has developed an oil field in the Wilds of Tibet. Norman Ness is mixing paint for Sherwin-Williams Paint Company. With these words Lome and .“Min ended their conversation. I am very glad to hear about old friends and also glad to meet you fenows, but how is it that you appear as you do? You have aroused my curiosity. You gentlemen are much too shrewd and energetic to be vagabonds. Oh I have been waiting for that question ever since our introduction. said Lome. We are employees of the Federal Government under the Federal Bureau of Investigation. We are on the trail of the notorious murderer and bank robber. Bull McKelly, that has aroused the Nation to hysteria. Good luck, boys. said the mayor, and say. don’t forget to come over for dinner. I’ll be expecting you.” You can count on us. Fritz, we’ll be there with bells on. With these concluding words they walked leisurely from the room leaving the mayor smiling as he returned to his daily routine.

After surviving a torture termed an initiation, and giving the Return party, we settled down to life as freshmen. We returned to school in 1937 to help initiate the new crop of freshmen. We contributed four members of our class to the basketball team and participated in other school activities. Before we knew it, we were back in school and found we had risen to the rank of Juniors or upperclassmen. On March 31. we presented “The Red-Spider. a thrilling mystery play in three acts. On April 5, we gave a very successful Junior Prom. We especially wish to express our gratitude to Miss Anderson and Mr. Haburchak for their sponsorship in making this year a success for our class. JUNIOR PROM OF 1939 The prom given in honor of the graduating seniors of 1939. was given the evening of May 5th. The icebergs, igloos, polar bears, and eskimo girls were a part of the arctic scene, all of which was in a blue and white color scheme. Grape punch was served out of a high cake of ice during the course of the evening. The good orchestra, the well decorated hall, and the grand march were attributes to the very successful evening which will be long remembered by all who attended. Credit should be given to the Junior Class and to their Sponsors, Miss Anderson and Mr. Haburchak. for a very successful prom.

During the first days of the Freshman year, they were haunted by the same thought as had appeared to many of them during the latter part of Junior High, the thought of the Freshman initiation. Having survived that dreaded ordeal, the students settled down to some thorough studying. (Some of the teachers may not agree on that point.) Officers for the year were: President. Billy Johnson; Vice-President, Jean Cobb; Secretary, Jeannette Bakke; Treasurer, Bill Armstrong. As Sophomores we staged a rather mild initiation for the incoming Freshman class and then studied some more. Officers for the year were: President, Bob Watson; Vice-President, Jim Armstrong; Secretary. Lois Judson; Treasurer, Bill Armstrong. Here’s hoping we’re all in the graduating class of ’41. I 25 | Frcshinnii Mass History On the first day of school sixty-five inexperienced freshmen began their career in the Cut Bank High School. The first activity was the freshman initiation, sponsored by the Sophomores. A new type of initiation was tried out. It consisted of contests such as obstacle races, sack races, a tug of war. and a sack fight. That night an act was put on by the Frosh, at the request of the upperclassmen. The officers elected were: Buddy Arras, Pres.; Daniel Poore, N ice Pres.; Maxine Olsen. Sec. and Treas.; Ruthie Nickeson. Reporter. Miss Millspaugh and Mr. Taylor were the class sponsors. October 1, the Frosh gave the annual return party. It was attended by a large number of students. A floor show was presented during the intermission. November 23, the Frosh gave an assembly program in the form of an amateur hour. On the program were the following: Wanda Van Alstine, Ena Robinson, Lyle Gunderson, Edna Brandvold, Jean Warner, Roy Zuelke, Luella Davis, and Danny Poore. Two members of the class turned out for football, namely: Jerry Gertzen and Clarence “Sleepy” Koontz, but due to inexperience, they did not make the first squad. A large number of freshmen turned out for basketball and Bill Henderson made the first squad during the latter part of the season. An operetta sponsored by Miss Millspaugh and entitled “Tulip Time,” was presented by the Glee Club and Orchestra and three freshmen were given leading parts. These members were: Kenneth Dyer, Dan Poore, and Buddy Arras. Several freshman students were members of the chorus and orchestra. The Freshman basketball team took second place in the inter-class tournament. Members of the squad were: Leo Quinlin, Clarence Koontz, Gerald Goldrick, Edward Clement, Tom Davis, Richard Dean. Wiley Welch, and Howard McCloud. This team was very successful, being beaten only once.

Mr. Haburchak, our director, spent all his spare time after school instructing those students who wished to become musicians. We now have a beginners band of nearly twenty-five people, most of whom will soon be in the regular band. The band helped promote school spirit by playing at football and basketball games, and by playing at several assemblies during the year. The band gave two concerts alone this year and one combined with the concert band of the Montana State College. The money from the first concert, in January, and from the New Year’s dance sponsored by them to a fund for new uniforms which were purchased this spring. The new uniforms are a great improvement over the old capes and caps which we used to wear. They consist of purple and gold trousers and jackets with gold “Sam Browne” belts and purple and gold kepis. The band, when in full uniform ready to play, is very neat and attractive in appearance. Each spring the band starts marching and drilling out-of-doors in preparation for the annual Music Festival at Havre in May. This year our band should be one of the finest high school bands at Havre. The band always makes its last appearance on Memorial Day when it marches and plays in Ordiestra The High School Orchestra is the musical organization that plays for all of the school programs, including class plays. Baccalaureate and Commencment. This year, the orchestra has a membership of thirty-four, twenty of which are violinists. In addition to the high school students, pupils of the grade school, ranging from the third through the eighth grade, play in this organization. Seniors who played in the orchestra two years received musical letters at the close of the year.

The debate proposition for this year was exceptionally interesting in view of the European events which were constantly changing the aspects of the question: Resolved, that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain.” Because neighboring schools do not sponsor debating. the schedule was necessarily limited. The schedule included: Practice tournament. Great Falls February 10 Great Falls, there....................

Debating has been an activity of the Cut Bank High School since 1931. with the exception of 1936 when illness and quarantine prevented participation. (ilcc Club This year the mixed Glee Club has an enrollment of sixty-six members. In former years the enrollment has been smaller because of the inconvenient hour of eight o’clock in the morning which made it impossible for those students who rode back and forth on the bus to attend practices. This year the Glee Club period for practice was changed to eleven-thirty on Mondays and Wednesdays. The addition pf boys to the organization added greatly to its popularity. The group sang at several public performances, among which were Open House In the fall, the Band Concert in the winter, and the Baccalaureate and Commencement programs in the spring. The Glee Club members, along with several members of the orchestra, presented the gay and colorful Dutch Operetta. “Tulip Time.” on April fourteenth. Forty students took part in this musical comedy. Seniors who had sung in the Glee Club at least two years received Musical Letters at the close of the year. First row. bottom: Dyer. Hill. Hyde. E. Neidhardt, Schulstad. Luchi, Ungar. H.

The year 1938-1939 again saw the Live Wire published as the voice of the student body, as our •‘ambassador” to other schools, and as a record of the events of the year. This year is outstanding in Live Wire history inasmuch as a charter was secured from the Quill and Scroll making us a member of that national Society. Carlyle Webb was elected as Ye Editor by the student body early in the year. Betty Linder was chosen as assistant editor and other editors and reporters were chosen, or elected by the respective organizations which they represented. The staff members were: Carlyle Webb Editor: Betty Linder, Assistant-Editor; Mary Lawrence, Advertising Manager; Buck Armstrong. Circulation and Exchange; Barbara Small. News; Eugene Olson.

The organization and publishing of the paper during the latter part of the year was turned over to the seventh period English IV’. Because of financial difficulties the last issues of the year were mimeographed. Exchanges were made throughout the year with schools of the United States. Library The Library Club is a service organization of the school. Functioning as such the members accession new books, number them using the Dewey Decimal System, and Catalogue them so they are filed that books may be referred to by the author, title, subject and cross reference in tho filing cabinet. Old books are mended and rebound in the workroom adjoining the library. In addition to the above work each librarian is responsible for a period a day when he serves the needs of the thirty students assigned to be in the library that hour. Previously students were at liberty to go from the assembly into the library any time they chose. Under the present system each student in high school has an hour each day which has been assigned him that he must report to the library. The club demonstrated book binding, card filing, and making the filing cards at Open House. Also they displayed the Cleveland paper published the morning after President McKinley's assassination. Miss Howard was the club sponsor. Who Gets the Car Tonite” and “Love Pirate” were the librarian's assembly plays. Bill Allison.

Theta Epsilon has strived nobly to hold the honor which they won during high school week at Bozeman, that of being the most outstanding home economics club in the state. This year has been filled with activity and the club has functioned well with Regine Minette as president. In order to improve our department and meet current expenses we completed two money-making projects, compiling and publishing a home town cook book and the Montana Dinner which was given on April 15th. The proceeds from these projects were divided for many different uses: namely, sending five club representatives to the state club convention and high school week, in Bozeman on April 27, 28, and 29th: a contribution of $5.00 to the Foreign Loan Scholarship Fund; and buying dishes and glassware for the home economics department. Activities, other than financial, which were sponsored by the club during this year are: the initiation party in October: all school party December 5th. Co-ed prom March 6th, a buffet supper for the members of the Bobcat Band on March 16th. the addition of a one hundred piece set of silverware to our department through the Nash’s coffee urn plan; a Mother’s Day team and style show on May 12th; and a chocolate for the senior girls and their mothers on May 20th. In carrying on these activities the girls have gained experience and confidence in this type of work, and through the leadership of their sponsor. Miss Anderson, have completed a very successful year. Left to Right: Betty Bedord. Mildred Johnson. Shirley Callison. Ena Robison, Jule Peterson. Thelma Schutte. Evelyn Teterud.

Drill practices were held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday noons, thus enabling the girls who rode on the bus to participate. The girls gave drills at both basketball and football games, they were assisted by the swingaroo girls. Mary Lawrence, Joyce Humes. Eva Wilson, and Betty Lee Saunier, and the G. A. A. tumblers. This year only girls who bought uniforms were members; these numbered forty. Instead of the usual slacks and jackets a gold satin dress with a purple bolero was used. The bell-hop hats that Mr. O'Neil gave us last year completed the uniform. The swingaroo girls wore purple blouses and shorts and a short gold swing skirt. They led the cheering section in the modern swing to tunes of “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “A Tisket-a-Tasket,” “The Mulberry Bushand “Flat Foot Floogie,” while the high school rooters sang the words to these songs which were made up by the pepsters.

Tho Girls’ Athletic Association is the largest club in Cut Bank High School; this year ninety-three of the one hundred and ten girls enrolled in school earned G. A. A. points by participating in various sports. Organized sports are basketball. softball. tennis, tenniquioit, archery, volleyball, and tumbling. Individual sports are ping-pong, skating, horseshoe, hiking, and bicycle riding. The fifty points necessary for initiation were earned by forty girls during the year. Eleven girls, during their high school careers, accumulated the required one thousand points for the school letter. These girls were: Seniors— Josephine Zuelke. Barbara Small. Ruth Brown; Juniors—Betty Lee Saunier, Lucille Johnston. Eva Wilson; Sophomores—Janice Edwards. Miriam Miller. Ruth Nicolas, Emma Lewis; Freshmen—Ann Kapp. This is the first time in the history of the school that a freshman has been outstanding enough to earn her letter. Three girls who received letters last year earned the additional two hundred points which entitled them to a star, the highest award presented. Those who earned stars were Mkry Lawrence, Ethel Fuller, and Evelyn Teterud. Interclass tournaments were held in the organized sports. One of the most interesting was that of basketball, the sophomores won 34-33 over the freshmen in the championship game. MOTTO: Play for play’s sake.

II! Ill in ii m y ifSfitosI Chili The “C” Club which is composed of all students who have earned letters in football, basketball and track, was first started under the advisement of William Taylor in. 1931. then the coach of basketball and football. It was organized to encourage good sportsmanship. school spirit, to make and enforce training rules and also to assist in the improvement and maintenance of the football and track field and to help keep the gym in good condition. The insignia of the school and the “C Club is the letter “C” which is eight inches high and a full block. The standard color for the letters are gold chenille on a purple felt back. Any competitor of sports, who has lived up to the standard of the team and has played enough in games and has been approved of by the superintendent and the coaches, with the consent of the Club members is eligible for a letter. At the beginning of the year there were ten active members but increased after football with thirteen new members who won their letters in football. At the first meeting held. Lloyd McClanahan was elected President and plans for the initiation of the fall members were discussed. The initiations were held in the gym with the initiates doing many hard and tiring athletic exercises, and supplying the refreshments. After the initiations a basketball game was played with the 'C” Club trouncing the initiates. The C” Club let Shelby burn the jinx this year and they had very regrettable results. liMhistrinl Arts Industrial Arts as taught at Cut Bank includes the work of general shop for the eighth grade and woodworking and drawing for the high school students. We aim to make the course practical. 'Hie students learn the care of the tools as well as the use of them and how to know their value. The students learn to draw the projects that they are going to construct. The projects are used in the homes or in school. The students are encouraged to make repairs and renovations to home furniture. Along with the actual work related information is given. Woodworking includes benchwork, cabinetmaking and wood-turning. This course should acquaint the boy with standards for judging the construction, design and finish of furniture for the home. In addition to interesting the boy to build certain projects, we encourage the boys to develop home workshops where they can construct articles of interest in their spare time. The drawing course here has practical as well as educational and cultural values. Every boy today must have at least an elementary knowledge of the subject which is known as the language of industry. From the courses in drawing the student may discover their aptitudes, if any. in engineering or other technical lines. Also students are taught to read blue prints and interpret technical literature. The language of drawing has its own orthography and grammar and style, its idioms and abbreviations; and its study not only gives one the ability to express thoughts hitherto impossible but develops the constructive imagination and the habit of exact thinking. Learning drawing then is much more than simply learning how to draw. It is learning to read and write a new language, just as real a language as English or French. Its mastery requires study and practice, with close attention to details, but its importance to anyone who expects to go into any branch of technical designing or manufacturing or building justifies all the time spent in studying it. In the past year we added a turning lathe, drill press and jig saw to our power equipment. The new equipment has made possible a greater variety of projects. [ 41 ] Senior Class I'lny The Senior class of 1939 presented as their annual play the popular three-act comedy. “Girl Shy.” After preliminary tryouts, in which many of the class took part, the following twelve members were chosen as the cast: Junior Poppler.....................as Tom Arsdale who was “girl shy” Carlyle Webb.......................as Oke Stimson. who wasn’t “girl shy” Mary Lawrence..........................as Babs Sandford.

Peaches has Oke, Chuck gets his Birdie, Sylvia finds a soul mate in Alfred Tennyson Murgatroyd and even the Dean and Aunt Caroline reach an understanding. The cast presented a fine performance before an exceptionally appreciative audience and received many compliments for their efforts. New stage settings purchased by the school added much to the appearance of the stage as did the furniture lent to the class by Buttreys. Mr. Speich, coach of the play, was given an attractive gift by the seniors. Junior IJ;iss I'lny On March 31st the Junior Class presented to the public a mystery-comedy, The Red Spider.” This three-act play by Hubert Hayes, was directed by Kay Anderson, and was applauded by a large audience.

( 42 i ATHLETICS How did you play when the game was on, When the odds were great and hope was gone? When the enemy team, with aim so true, Was dragging the victory away from you? When strength and speed and endurance quit, Did honor keep pace with determined grit? Did you keep faith with the rules of the game? Did you play up square without fear or shame? Did your smile of cheer make the team your friend As you fought it through to the bitter end? Did your self-respect rise a notch or two? Are you a bigger man now the game is through ? Football - 1� 3� Cli:mi|� s The football season of 1938 was the most successful in the history of Cut Bank High School and culminated in winning the district and northern division championships. Coach Keyes found forty prospects on the field, the first night of practice. This was the largest turnout Cut Bank High School has ever had and reflected the interest taken in football by the entire student body. The first game of the year was a practice scrimmage with Browning. No scores were kept for the game but Cut Bank appeared to be the stronger team. The next game was with Whitefish. The Wolves ran the opening kick-off back for a touchdown but could not prevent Whitefish from scoring 18 points to our 6. This defeat was due to inorganization as Coach Keyes had many new players on the squad and had to experiment during the first of the season to find a winning combination. Our first game within the district was with Conrad, and for the first time in the school’s football history Conrad was victorious by a score of 7-6. Conrad was definitely outplayed in all departments and in ground gained but our inexperienced team had all the breaks against them. The Purple and Gold started their string of five victories in which the opponents failed to score a point by rolling over the Great Falls Reserves 19-0. Cut Bank defeated Browning 27-0 with a bombardment of line plunges on a mud-covered the field. Until then Browning was leading the conference, but this toppled them into a scrambled tie with Cut Bank, Conrad, and Shelby. In the high-light game of the year the Wolves gained glorious revenge over Shelby’s Coyotes, defeating them by the stunning score of, 55-0. In this game the Wolves gained 677 yards from scrimmage to Shelby’s 145 and garnered 31 first downs to Shelby’s 3. As Cut Bank and Conrad were tied for the District Championship with two victories and one defeat each, the play-off game was played at the end of the regular season. The Wolves demonstrated their all-around power in this game by scoring 19 points to Conrad’s nothing and holding Conrad for 3 downs on our foot and one-half line. This made Cut Bank District Champs, the first Wolf team to hold that honor since 1932. By defeating a strong Fort Benton team 9-0 on the local field, the Wolves became the first Cut Bank team to win the Northern Division Championship. Cut Bank’s touchdown was scored in the second quarter when a pass, Williamson to Aubrey, was completed for a touchdown. The additional two points resulted from a safety. The Seniors who graduate are: Captain Demorise Allen, Leonard Pistoria, Lloyd McClanahan, Daryl McClanahan. Bill Allison, Lome Berger. Junior Poppler, James Kittson, Lon Aubrey, Harold Oien, Eugene Olson and Ralph Gordon. Players earning their letters for 1938 were Captain Demorise Allen, Leonard Pistoria, Lloyd McClanahan, Daryl McClanahan. Jim Williamson. Mahlon Stewart. Harvey Aubrey, Bill Allison. Lome Berger, Junior Poppler, James Kittson, Lon Aubrey, Charles Cochran. Harold Oien. Alfred Allison. Walter Kittson. Eugene Olson, Ralph Gordon, and Charles Bonney. I 44 | Allen Anderson Manager NEW FOOTBALL FIELD Next fall Cut Bank High School will own its football field for the first time. The City of Cut Bank has given the school part of the land in the city park. The new location will take in part of the old field but will be moved about 60 yards east of the present site. Cut Bank fans can really come out in full force next year as the entire field will be equipped with the latest lighting equipment and all home games wi'l be played at night. Plans for a cinder track around the field have been made and for the first time in several years Cut Bank will have a track team.

Brockton got sweet revenge for their loss of the divisional championship at Havre last year when they defeated the Wolves by one point at the opening of the season and then ran wild to wallop them in the division finals at Great Falls. Preceding this championship game the Wolves were the outstanding favorites despite the early season loss to Brockton. Cut Bank, who had been decidedly “on” the first two games of the tournament took a reversal of form—Brockton who had been decidedly “off” the first two games also took a reversal of form in the final game. So when the smoke had cleared, Lambert, Big Horn and Company had 40 and Cut Bank 25. The high-light games of the season were the five contests with our rivals from Shelby. Shelby had perhaps the biggest and best team ever developed there. Cut Bank won four out of the five games, all of them very close (two games were over-timers). The game for the district championship at Shelby was won by Cut Bank in an over-time 26-24. Although Cut Bank did not get quite as far as the basketball teams of the previous two years, the Wolves again had a fine team this season as the record below reveals. This school year (1938-39) is the first during which Cut Bank has won both the football and basketball district championships.

I ask but a field that is fair. A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and to dare; And if I should win. let it be by the code. With my faith and honor held high : And if I should lose, let me stand by the side of the road. And cheer as the winners go by. So grant me to conquer, if conquer I can By proving my worth in the fray; But teach me to lose like a regular man. And not like a craven I pray. Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high ; Yea. teach me to stand by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by. HUMOR Leighton Small, who attended a court for the first time, was very much interested in the proceedings. After he returned home he told his mother: “The judge made a speech and several other men made speeches to twelve men and women who sat all together, and then these twelve people were put in a dark room to be developed.” There used to appear in the catalog of a mail order house a picture of a pair of corduroy trousers. Year after year the picture appeared, together with the description of the pants—and the price. $3.00. In the sixteenth year of the ad the company received this letter: “Dear Mr. Roebuck: The more I seen of them corduroy breeches, the more 1 got to wantin' them. If you ain't sold them yet. let me know, and I will buy them. Yours truly. George Brown.” Gene Olson was seated in the dentist’s chair. “What is your charge for extracting this tooth ? he asked. “Five dollars.” said the dentist. “What!” gasped Gene. “Five dollars for about three seconds’ work?” “Well.” said the dentist, if you prefer it, I'll draw the tooth in slow motion.” I so I Animal History The first annual to be published by Cut Bank High School was the “Owlet of ’20.” This annual cost the students between $000 and $800; the school board paying some $200 of the cost. As a result the annual was discontinued until it could become a self-supporting unit. The next annual was the ’28. and then followed the annuals of '20, ’31, ’34, ’30, ’37, '38, and ’30. In every case the annuals were produced by the lithograph process with the exception of the 1037 annual which was planographed. The former process is very satisfactory and is the one chosen for the “Wolf of ’30.” 'Phe highlights of some of the former annuals are as follow: ’20—first annual; ’28—only one picture and that of the Senior Class—Valier defeats Cut Bank basketball team—Class beauty was Tessie Micken—’31—dedicated to Mr. Davis—first football victory, defeated Oilmont 33 to 0—first “C” Club meeting—editor was Michael Burke; ’34—annual now called “Wolf”— Pep squad and Band organized in fall of 1933—the Junior Play “Hist! She’s A Man” was given by Seniors—Wendel Pore was editor of the “Wolf”; ’37---annual has new type of stiff cover—very good art work by Ernie Teterud—won the state B Class Basketball Championship—G. A. A. organized in 1935—some humorous fishing scenes—dedicated to the citizens of Cut Bank; ’38—Burl Cobb was the “Wolf” editor—Mr. Davis and Mr. Keyes were sponsors—very successful Junior Prom—B Class Basketball Champions for the state again—“Wolf of ’38” presents a very comprehensive view of the interesting and varied activities of Cut Bank High School. In the past as well as in the present we must not forget those who have made our annual possible. The total cost of the annual is about $600. This includes printing and the photography. We can readily see that without the aid of our advertising sponsors our project of a school yearbook would be practically impossible. The students in looking over their annuals in years to come will still appreciate the place the local businessmen occupy when the publication of an annual is in process. We have always had the heartiest cooperation when presenting our cause to the businessmen of this community. If our yearbook in the future is to he a success we should not forget those who have made our yearbook possible. On the sponsor page we have a list of contributing advertisers; to them we extend our sincere appreciation for their support of the “Wolf of ’39.” [ 53 ) Sponsors Northwest Refinery C. E.

Stack General Contractor .........................fs. [ 6S ] There is waiting a work svhere only his hands can avail; And so, if he falters, a chord in the music will fail. He may laugh to the sky, he may lie for an hour in the sun; But he dare not go hence till the labor appointed is done. To each man is given a marble to carve for the wall; A stone that is needed to heighten the beauty of all ; And only his soul has the magic to give it a grace; And only his hands have the cunning to put it in place.
