Cut Bank High School - Wolf Yearbook (Cut Bank, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1941 volume:

DEDICATION To progress, achieved mainly through self-control, tolerance, courage, dependability, and appreciation, leading toward the finer things of life, this annual is respectfully dedicated. FOREWORD In the following pages are contained pictures and print which we, the Wolf Staff of 1941, hope will grow into everlasting memories. It has been our goal to weave into this yearbook the strands of experiences, activities, and the little things which have gone to make up our four years in high school. Now it is yours—read it, enjoy it, cherish it with your finest mementos of high school life. THE STAFF. REALIZATION Each succeeding senior class of our high school has attempted to produce a more complete record of activities to which it could refer to re-awaken the happy memories of its high school days. To achieve this we have realized the necessity of maintaining the fine co-operation between the school and the business and professional men of the city. Even as we prepare to leave, we learn of the citizens' desire to give their children even more adequate facilities for learning in the expansion of our school. We realize how fortunate we are that we may be living in an area where economic conditions will permit the realization of keeping pace with the opportunities of the twentieth century. We are proud of the advancement of our school and our community. We are happy that we may leave with the utmost faith in our possibilities as young men and women who have received a foundation upon which we may build SUCCESS. Finally, we leave these corridors with the feeling that we are stepping out upon the threshold which beckons us to life as we shall make it. We have concluded there is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Some pupils are glad that their formal schooling is over, others feel happy in being ready to meet a new challenge. All of us feel an element of sadness in the fact that our class will cease to exist as a unit after graduation time. Let every member of the class of '41 prove himself worthy of the sacrifices of your parents and the community. Congratulations, Seniors. MR. DAVIS. M. C. AAHL Manual Arts, Cooperative B.S.

Joyce Humes Victor Wheeler LEGACY We, the Senior class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-one, being of sound and disposing minds, in no way influenced, restrained or controlled by janitor, teachers, or underclassmen, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament to our most favored fellow schoolmates.

The screaming headline, Hitler Falls, caught my eye. I was immediately interested, and imagine it—the Iron Hand that downed Hitler was Leighton Small! He had given up his acting for the life of a soldier. As I read on, many of my old class-mates were mentioned in article after article. Dr. Wallace Ruetten has saved humanity—he has discovered a cure for the dread disease, Fallen Arches. Jeannette Bakke is the new head of the revised civil service. Her chief assistant is the outstanding accountant, Harvey Aubrey. Bill Johnson is now living in the depths of Turkey in his seraglio. Marjorie Mattson is suing a multi-millionaire for breaking her heart. Among the military heads of the New Europe are Jim Armstrong, Jack McGlothlin, and Wayne Kittilson. Chuck Cochran is a famous criminal lawyer; and to think he always wanted to be a hobo. Virginia Morley is hostess on the new India Clipper. Ramona Croff and Annie Watson now conduct a travel agency. Emma Lewis is the new head of a large, well-known automobile manufacturing plant. Miriam Miller is vacationing in Florida. She is employed as the White House interior decorator. Vic Thompson has been voted the King of Swing. He plays only the works of the Hoagy Carmichael student, Phil Strack. Alma Baker, assisted by Alice Kapp, owns and manages the dime store monopoly of the world. Denny Gordon is president of Vassar. As his secretaries, he has employed Beverly Getter and Cleo Robison. Both of these girls are rivals of the poor students—the admirers are weakening. Maxine Trenholm holds the record for breaking shovel handles on the W. P. A. Joyce Wilson has realized her dream—she is the sweetheart of the Navy. Janice Edwards is suspected of being involved in smuggling in Alaska. The case is being examined by Jean Sheffield, now assistant to J. Edgar Hoover. Lois Judson has been presented a statue for helping the poor little bambinos in the slums. Doc Watson is now not only a court reporter, but also owns his own newspaper and police station. Joe Paine is the new head of the Union of Grocery Stores. He upholds a three-hour day and is unsatisfied with present labor conditions. Kenny Christenot has returned to old C. B. H. S. to teach commercial subjects. He couldn't let the old school down. Bob Stack has opened The University of the Finer Pins of Bowling. At present, he is instructing the son of the greatest model of all time, Stella Mae Bush. LaVaughn Jensen and Lila Campbell have been chosen outstanding in the adult educational field. Irene Dahlen is a beautician She always was cute. Joyce Boushele has broken into the news by becoming the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Bill Armstrong and Denny Mollander have invented a new bomber and have to be protected from spies of a secret power. Their body guard is Ruth Nicolas, known as the Queen of Ju Jitsu. Chas. Bonney has instituted a new type of religion with Jim Murphy as his devoted follower. I 18 i SENIOR CLASS PLAY On December 6 the Senior Class presented Why Worry, a clever comedy about an eccentric family steeped in the traditions of Shakespeare. Lois Judson as Desdemona Dalrymple, the mother, spoke only the language of the bard. Bill Johnson gave a good portrayal of a business man in love with Mrs. Dalrymple. Denny Gordon as Hamlet Dalrymple and Jeannette Bakke as his sister, Viola, registered strong dislike to the Shakespearian theory. Jean Sheffield as Ophelia Dalrymple, a nine-year-old plague, kept the audience in laughter with her odd mixture of modern slang and Shakespearian language. Wallace Ruetten as a house-to-house salesman settled the financial difficulties and married Viola. Stella Mae Bush as Doris Benson found plenty of opportunity for the display of her unusual technique as a comedienne. Wayne Kittil-son as Tokay, the Japanese house boy, spent his time writing a peculiar type of poetry. Emma Lewis as Aunt Gertrude presented something new in a woman heavy and was an effective villain. Chuck Cochran as Mike O'Reilly was at his best as a tough cop. This very successful production was directed by Mr. Nielson. CLASS HISTORY In September of 1937 we cautiously entered upon our high school careers. The horrible thought of an initiation was indelibly imprinted in our minds by the members of the upper classes and we spent a first week of thrills and chills awaiting the outcome. It was over! We were finally full-fledged high-school students and showed our appreciation by being host to the other classes at an all-school party. Our Sophomore year slipped by with the usual routine of high school life and our contribution was limited to an assembly program. During the junior year our activities were mainly those of entertaining the graduating class of 1940. We presented a mystery drama, The Phantom Tiger, and then gave a picnic and a prom. On September 3, 1940, we came prancing up to the school to register for our last year and to look over the latest recruits to higher learning. Our year has been full of exciting adventures and achievements. We gave a senior ball for the first time in the history of the school last December. Why Worry” was chosen as the senior class play. Our senior president was Bob Watson, and advisers, Mr. Davis and Mr. Keyes. I 19 I JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the Juniors, entered the portals of Cut Bank High in the fall of '38 as timid freshmen and started our climb up the ladder of success. We entered with sixty-five members in our class and have maintained that up to now. We elected officers as follows: Buddy Arras, President; Dan Poore, Vice President; Maxine Olson, Secretary-Treasurer, and Ruth Nickeson, Class Reporter. Our Sophomore year found us feeling like grown up men and women. We elected class officers as follows: Dan Poore, President; Kenney Dahlquist, Vice President; Jean Warner, Secretary-Treasurer, and Gerald Goldrick, Class Reporter. Five mighty Sophomores received letters and took part in other activities. Here we are, great big, mighty upper-classmen and ready for a hard year's work. As usual, we first pick our class officers. They are as follows: Dewey Harris, President; Ruth Nickeson, Vice President; Clarence Koontz, Secretary, and Ena Robinson, Treasurer. We have been very prominent in athletics having taken more than our share of the inter-class tournaments and at present have eleven members in the C Club. Our Junior play, which came off in a big way, was a comic production and the cast chosen was very appropriate. The name of the play was Don't Take My Penny, and was directed by Mr. Speich and assisted by Miss Stufft. The returns from the play put our treasury in a very substantial position and gave us an opportunity to put on a successful prom. So we close the cover on our Junior year and rest up to climb the last step in our ladder to success. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY The annual Junior Class play, Don't Take My Penny, was presented in the High School Gym, March 21, 1941. Don't Take My Penny, is a three-act farce comedy. Penny is a sixteen-year-old high school girl who takes everything in life seriously. She is preparing to be chosen as the ideal girl to play the star role in the movie version of a popular novel. Penny ignores everyone except her good friend, Joanna— who plans to go to Hollywood with her. Penny and Joanna are giving up such a childish pastime as tennis. Everything comes out as expected in the end. Don't Take My Penny has everything to make a good play: youth, charm, and humorous incidents. The play cast included: Jean Warner, Howard McLeod, Ruthie Nickeson, Wiley Welch, Don Fisk, Jeanne Sever, Jewell Peterson, Danny Poore, Louella Davis, Tommy Davis, Dorothy Platt, Dewey Harris, Miriam Stack, Elly Zimmerman, Edna Brandvold, Roy Zuelke, Kenny Dahlquist. It was presented under the direction of Mr. Speich. I 2a i Aarhus. L. Arras, B. Bankins, M. Barrington, B. Betcher, D. Bonnett, D. Brandvold. E. Brown. J. Clement, E. Copelan, A. Dahlquist, K.

Each period will find a new group of students reading current periodicals, utilizing the fine encyclopedia facilities, or just browsing around for some recreation in the literary field. The library is in charge of high-school juniors or seniors every period of the day and is accessible to study-hall students at any time. It is the aim of the time spent in the library to develop better self-discipline among the students. G. A. A. Reading left to right: Wanda Wiley, Fern Dempsey. Emma Lewis.

Besides the string section there are four trumpets, one trombone, and a piano. Because of the large number of strings, music that is suitable for string ensembles has been emphasized. Selections that are familiar to every music lover such as Liebestraume, Melody in F, Handel's Largo. Barcarolle, and The Merry Widow Waltz. The orchestra plays for such school programs as the Open House-Armistice Program, Junior and Senior Plays, and Commencement. At the beginning of the school year, twelve grade school pupils entered the beginers' violin class, and by March they were qualified to play with the regular orchestra.. FOOTBALL Malta ....

The 1940-41 season has not shown an abundance of wins, but the education the players received from their participation in the games repaid doubly for all the losses. The trips taken and acquaintances made will be remembered as long or longer than the games won. From this viewpoint the basketball season of '40-41 is considered very Coach Chumrau successful. We lose only one senior, Chuck Cochran, from the team this year. With all the boys returning next year plus an abundance of material from the B squad we have a promise of a successful season to look forward to. Even though the team did not respond with many victories this year, all members do wish to extend their appreciation towards Coach Chumrau for the patience and valuable instruction he has given them.

This year’s Operetta was a two-act musical comedy entitled, Carrie Comes to College.” All of the sixty-three members of the Glee Club took part in this production. The leading parts were played by Denny Gordon, Danny Poore, Buddy Arras, Miriam Miller, Ena Robinson, Dwaiie Harris, Edna Brandvold, Kula Todd, Tommy Davis, John Sheffield, Ted Fowler, and Duane Sisson. Carrie Comes to College” is a musical comedy of life on a college campus. The plot centers around the spoiled son of a rich man, who, after many escapades, asserts his real manhood and redeems himself in the eyes of his friends. There are the usual comical characters who supply the laughs, and the usual heroes and heroines who furnish the love theme. Several unusual scenes such as Japanese dancing geisha girls, cupids, tiny first-grade tots dressed as country children, were included. The dancing chorus, a group playing an important part in this year’s production, was composed of the following members: Una Mae Arras, Betty Van Alstine, Wanda Van Alstine, Edith Williamson, Mary Dell Werner, Betty Stewart, Katherine Turner, Annette Berger, Shirley Ness, Wanda Harris, and (Jail Ferris. G. A. A. The purpose of the Girls’ Athletic Association is to give the upper classmen an opportunity to participate in organized sports. Basketball, volleyball, and baseball were the games played this year. The girls organized a very aggressive basketball team this season which played for one preliminary game and played the town team a very fast game which they led at the half, but were defeated by two baskets.

BAND The officers for this year were Jean Warner, President; Margaret Sauter, Vice-President, and Jeanne Sever, Secretary and Treasurer.

The band officers are: President—Denny Gordon, Vice President—Don Fisk, Secretary-Treasurer—Lois Judson, Reporter—Jack Henderson. The band practices Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 8:30 to 9:15, and has some extra practices.

Every spring a concert is given to help finance the band’s annual trip to the music festival. The band had the honor this year of playing a number with the College Bobcat Band from Bozeman. LIVE WIRE The Live Wire was again the official organ of the pupils of the Cut Bank High School, keeping a record of the events of the year of 1940-1941. Early in the year Lois Judson was appointed editor; the appointment was based on ability as shown by work on Live Wires of previous years. Under Lois’ able guidance the following were accomplished: twelve issues of the Live Wire were published, the paper was entered as Second Class Matter for the U. S. mails, thus effecting a considerable saving for coming years; membership was held in the Montana Interscholastic Editorial Association and the national Society of the Quill and Scroll. That the paper was a sucess financially can be attributed to the efforts of Bob Stack, assisted by Don Fisk, as business manager; to the liberal support of the business men of Cut Bank; and to the support of the Student Body.
