I'ropliecv of Class of ’40 Nya! Nya! Nya! said th© little fox, occasionally dodging a bullet from the gun of a furious fox hunter, Jack Peoples. As our fox friend merrily flitted alona, he was observing some facts which seemed of interest to the readers of the 1940 “Wolf. From his perch on the hollow log, he had a good view of a group of tough full fledged lumber jacks, including Roddy Sellars, and with Roy Teterud as gang pusher. Just yonder is the old cook shack and through the open door—DEAR ME!—is that the former Joyce Irgens flippin flapjacks with such grace and efficiency??? Ah! Look who comes! It's that handsome forest ranger, God's gift to women —Jack Fee. (Confidentially, there's a big feud over his affections between Lucille Johnston, the famous pianist and Eleanor Price, that million dollar baby from the five and ten cent store. ) Nya! Nya! Nya! you can't catch a flea, remarked the little red fox, and strolled lazily down to the creek for a little liquid refreshment, and the customary swim. The creek is now the private property of Marjorie Morley, who is the senior partner in The Kitten Scrubbers, Inc. (Jim Ness, junior partner). The sign Private—no trespassing doesn't seem to register on the minds of those two famous fishermen, Freddie Christenot and Norris Victel—oh. well, after all, the world owes them a living— Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Whee! Excitement! I wonder what that tall, dark and handsome specimen flitting around over yonder can be up to. DON'T tell me Mahlon Stewart is capturing a poor little harmless butterfly. Mahlon, with his horn-rimmed spectacles and knee pants, says he just adores the dear little things (referring to butterflies, of course). His extreme grace reminds us of that internationally known toe ana bubble dancer, Frank Hatch. Incidentally, CBHS was very proud in 1941 to present Mr. Franklin D. Hatch for his debut to Broadway. Frankie simply insists .ipon wearing ruffles around his neck while doing his act. Jimmy Johnston, Frank's financial manager, seems to be doing very nicely these days Even with his family of 13, he can afford a mansion with a swimming pool and all the other trimmings somewhere in Beverly Hills. Pretty soft, aye, Jimmy? What do you say. Red? So help me, cried the little fox, Is that music I heard, or do my ears deceive me? Oh. the concert in the park. Alfy has purchased an acre of the woods which he has devoted to his Oomph-A-Cade Chorus (All brunettes, except Joyce Brandvold and Ruth Luedtke). He is known to have created some very original routines. (Oh! Swing all ye faithful!) The sly old fox was far too wise to enter the city limits and become a rug under the feet of some alert hunter; but he did read the advertisements along the road. Get rich quick. Ruth Henry will pay 15 cents per hundred wads for gum which can easily be obtained from desk bottoms and window sills. Gumchew, Inc. Attention Horses. Now is the time for wise horses to get new spring outfits -Come in and let me fit you with shoes of the latest styles and colors. Gilbert Wccker —Blacksmith.

Senior Class History In 1936, a group of 45 of the most bewildered freshmen seen in many a day, entered the new High School. We soon made ourselves at home and in a few days we were adjusting ourselves to the atmosphere of C. B. H. S. In a few weeks an extremely effective initiation made us settle down to work. After recovering sufficiently we gave the upper classmen a return party. We soon organized our class and elected class officers who proved fully capable of the task entrusted to them. Then presto we were sophomores. Although we were not upper class-men, we were permitted to assist in the persecution of the poor frosh. Most of this year we spent dreaming about the time to come when we would be upper classmen and no longer subject to the scorn and jests of our elders. Then our dreams came true! Juniors! Upper classmen! We had a busy time that year. We produced the play The Red Spider, the proceeds of which went toward the financing of our prom. Both our play and the prom were declared outstanding successes. Suddenly the big moment of our lives arrived. We were Seniors. This year we produced two plays; the Senior Class presenting Black Gold and the Public Speaking Class called The Mummy and the Mumps. Now as we are preparing this annual we are awaiting the Graduation Ceremonies which will close the history of the Class of 1940. c t 17 1

We, the seniors of 1940, having arrived at the last milestone of our high school career with an overabundance of mental and physical endowment and, being of the generous type, do hereby bequeath a few of our possessions to those poor unfortunate under classmen in hopes they will be used to the best advantage. Vera Gunderson finally agreed to give up her hash-slinging technique to Annie Watson. Ruth Henry wills her love for the opposite sex to Thelma Schuette. Upon asking Joyce Irgens what she would like to leave behind, she said she didn't have anything she didn't want to take along, but we finally persuaded her that it was time she grew up, so she grudgingly leaves her jitterbuggin' technique to Robert Wills. It just takes a little practice. Bob. Lucille Johnston and Joyce Brandvold leave 10 lbs. and a blush apiece to George Bonney. Here's hoping a strong wind doesn't come up and blow you gals away. Mrrgaret Keisser wills her ability to create coiffures to Mary Poynter. Ru'.h Luedtke leaves Vic Thompson to anyone who wants him. Don't crowd, girls! Ethel Matzick wills her ability to create new fads to Iola Smith, providing she will take the lead in styles next year. Kathleen Mergenthal wills her journalistic efforts to next year's Live Wire staff. Regine Minette leaves her wim. wiggle, and witality to Leighton Small. Marjorie Morley leaves her quiet manner to Ena Robinson. There's an old saying, Ena, that silence is golden. Eleanor Price leaves dear old CBHS with a sigh, hoping that hereafter she can read western stories without being disturbed. It's a shame the kind of literature they make a fellow read in this school! Iono Pugerude rather reluctantly wills her long, black eyelashes to Jean Warner. Very generous of you, lone, but I think you will look rather odd without eyelashes! Betty Saunier leaves her recipe for red locks to Happy Williamson, but she says, being that your hair is so dark, you may have to use rit first. Esther Sellars wills her ability to get excused from classes to Sylvia Gore. Pearl Thompson leaves her recipe for slimness with Mary Lou Sheppard. Alfred Allison leaves------------still arguing. Buck Armstrong leaves part of his studious mind to Bob Bums. Here's hoping he uses it, because it would be a shame to waste such a thoughtful gift. Embree Berger wills his ability to get in and out of the tuba to Wiley Welch. Freddio Christenot leaves his footprints in the sands of dear old CBHS. John Drury leaves his natural blonde hair to Humsey. Jack Fee leaves the school house strutting around in a new C sweater. Frank Hatch leaves his way with the women to Henri Delger, (But, Frank, what will you ever do without it?) Jim Johnston, after deep contemplation, has decided to leave nothing. He's taking Red along. John Krapf wills a few of his candid camera shots to the next Annual Staff; and hopes that Donnie Dopkins will carry on the work of photographer next year. Louis Luchi leaves his curly hair--------------long may it wave! John Marquette leaves, willingly! Frank McAdams leaves nothing; because he is Scotch. Dayle McClanahan leaves his intense interest in school work to Phil Strack. James Ness leaves all the gum that he has put under the seats to Mr. Hall. Eddie Neidhardt wills his guitar to Dyvonne Irgens, and offers to throw in free lessons by moonlight! (Guitar lessons, Eddie?) Jack Peoples wills his non-smelling pipe to Paul Kliensmith. Herbert Omsberg leaves his bookkeeping ability to the next class—to be distributed equally among them. Roddy Sellars wills his love for pool to Marshall Sherwin, because he is outgrowing such childish games! Roy Teterud leaves his weakness for blondes to Lewie Pistoria just in case he gets tired of combing his hair. Norris Victel leaves a box of tacks to Don Fisk with the instructions to be sure that the fellow he puts them under isn't too big. Gilbert Waker wills his forwardness to Harry Novak. Wayne Wilcox leaves Mr. Nielson to argue with himself over the summer vacation, or will it be to himself? With deep regret. Jimmy leaves Joyce to walk home alone. Gilbert Merrill wills his trips and many excursions to any one foolish enough to accept them. Marjorie Matzdorf leaves her charming smile to Elly Zimmerman and says it should be used often to produce the best effect. Mahlon Stewart leaves his jumping ability to Tommy Davis. Jean Hill wills her school girl complexion to Bob Field. Shannie Williamson leaves Mary Dell Werner to the remaining members of the basketball team, and asks them please to take good care of her.
