Junior Class History In 1937, we, now the Juniors, entered high school as the customary green freshmen. On that memorable day of initiation to kiss onions, wear green hair ribbons, and bow to upper classmen. This initiation was so effective and complete that it ended initiations in CBHS forever. The class officers for the year were: Bill Johnson, president; Jean Cobb, vice president; Jeannette Bakke, secretary; Bill Armstrong, treasurer. As sophomores we staged a very mild initiation for the oncoming freshmen, for which they should be very much indebted to us. Our year was quite uneventful. That year we elected as officers: Bob Watson, president; Jim Armstrong, vice president; Lois Judson, secretary; Bill Armstrong, treasurer. Sponsors for both years were Miss Howard and Mr. Aahl. Suddenly we realized we were upperclassmen. With this we were responsible for a play. On March 29, we presented The Phantom Tiger, a mystery in three acts. It was a great success. Officers for the Junior year were: Jean Sheffield, president; Bill Armstrong, vice president; Denny Gordon, secretary-treasurer. The success of our Junior year was due greatly to the sponsorship of Miss Anderson and Mr. Chumrau and the cooperation of the class in general. Junior Class I'lny On March 29, the Junior class presented The Phantom Tiger, directed by Kay Anderson. This was a mystery in three acts. It was a thrilling play filled with exciting happenings written by the most successful author, Robert St. Claire. There was Erma, Lois Judson, the beautiful young heroine; Mackintosh, Denny Mollander, her young detective sweetheart; Emma Lewis, Erma's Aunt Sophia, who loves her false teeth; Phil Strack, a small-town detective, who faints at the sight of blood; Oswald, Bob Stack, a timid bug chaser; and Peggy Van Ess, Stella Mae Bush, the gum chewing shop girl. There is the hilariously funny negro, brick mason, Billy Armstrong; and Miriam Miller, the vanished Aunt Sylvia who returned from the dead. Janice Edwards is the mysterious Scotch housekeeper; Bill Johnson as Arthur Hale, a criminal who is crazed by the sight of jewels; and Jeannette Bakke, his beautiful but bereaved young wife. hx iflrnuutam On the twenty-sixth of October, 1939, Victor (Junior) Wheeler, a junior in Cut Bank high school, was accidently drowned while hunting ducks at Hope Lake in the company of three of his school pals.

Ma and ”Pa Busby, lone Pugerude and Jack Peoples, gave good interpretations of the character leads. Chet, Busby, Fred Christenot, as the young son who always wanted to go fishing and was as hungry as a typical small boy. Jim Johnston was the smoothie who got Ma Busby to sign away her husband's ranch and almost forced the daughter to marry him to save the ranch. Kathleen Margenthal, as an over-sized former Broadway star, now peddling beauty creams, surprised the audience with an excellent blues voice.
