Se+u i GIgAA, eJlat uf, Sixty-five eager greenhorns entered Cut Bank high school in 1939. Their first activity was the Frosh initiation and dance which was given by the Sophomores. As Frosh we elected Buddy Arras, President; Dan Poore, Vice President; Maxine Olsen, Secretary and Treasurer; Ruthie Nickeson, Reporter. Miss Millspaugh and Robert Taylor were the class sponsors. In October we gave the annual return party at which an unusually nice floor show was presented. In November we gave an assembly program which was in the form of an amateur hour. Contestants were Wanda Van Alstine, Ena Robinson, Lyle Gunderson, Edna Brandvold, Jean Warner, and Roy Zuelke. Two members of our class turned out for football: Jerry Gertzen and Clarence Sleepy Koontz, but due to inexperience they did not make the first squad. A large number of our class turned out for basketball and Bill Henderson made the first squad in the latter part of the season. Beginning our Sophomore year we administered the initiation to our successors. As Sophomores we elected Dan Poore, President; Kenny Dahlquist, Vice President; Jean Warner, Secretary and Treasurer and Gerald Goldrick, Class Reporter. Several of the Sophomore boys went out for sports this year and five of them received letters. Several Sophomores also were awarded leads in the operetta and many were in the chorus. Here we are, mighty upper-classmen, and ready for a year of hard work. We selected our class officers which are as follows: Dewey Harris, President; Ruth Nickeson, Vice President; Clarence Koontz, Secretary; and Ena Robinson, Treasurer. We now have eleven members in the C club. Our Junior play went off in a big way. It was a comic production and the cast chosen was very appropriate. The name of the play was Don't Take My Penny which was directed by Mr. Speich and assisted by Miss Stufft. At last the great day came when we were Seniors. This year we gave the play Foot Loose directed by Mr. Speich and assisted by Miss Stufft. Seniors were active in all sports this year and several Seniors had leads in the operetta, Who Discovered America? And now, as we write this we look forward to graduation with excitement and yet with a heavy heart at the thought of leaving our friends in C. B. H. S.

I 20J P aAecuf, The year is 1946 and in on© of our largest army camps (I cannot disclose its whereabouts due to military censorship) I found many of my old classmates doing various things to further the victory goal of Uncle Sam. Thomas Blitzkreig Davis was the first I chanced to meet. He was a military strategist until a week ago when in practice maneuvers he had his entire Red Army isolated on a lofty cliff. After a slight demotion. Blitz is now in charge of all K.P. duty. When going by one of the army tents. I heard some one holler Gunga. and as it struck a discordant note in my mind I further investigated to find it was Richard Dean, who (after several months' hard work) had been promoted to a corporal. I congratulated him on his achievement, but he only laughed and said, You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until you see the eight men under my supervision. Believe me, I was surprised, for there standing at attention were: Howard McLeod, Danny Poore. Clyde Cobb, Jerry Gertzen, Nickolas Ungar, Dale Omsberg, Leo Quinlan, and believe it or not, Buddy Arras. At Dean's suggestion I next visited the army hospital, and there I found Virginia Guith. Ida May Gore, Alma Wengel, Ada Copelan. Eunice Wiley, and Jewell Peterson, some of the most efficient nurses on the staff. I didn't have much time to talk to them for they were busy, but they all told me they were well pleased with their work. On walking out of the hospital who should I bump into but James Edward Murphy carrying the strangest implement under his arm. and - a closer glance showed me it was a fly spray. Jim told me he was very successful in the army, in fact, he had a rank that put him on par with the Generals and Majors because he held the most honorable office of CHIEF Exterminator of all alien termites in the barracks. I noticed some planes flying in formation overhead and Private Murphy informed me that Kenny Dahlquist was leader of the squadron and was one of the aces of our air force. This more than anything else reminded me of my old school days because Kenny had always said that he wanted to be a pilot, and most of us believed he had the necessary qualifications, and from the looks of his enviable record I guess we were right. Over in the laboratory I found Bob Sampson and Jack Saxon, who were laboriously working on an experiment which would prove fatal to our enemies—if accomplished. It seems that during the last four years, however, they have done more damage to their own camp than they could ever do to the enemy. Over in the camp store I found several of the old gang doing various things. Donna Brown and Louella Youngstrom had taken jobs as waitresses to be near their respective husbands, who had gotten caught in the draft. Elly Zimmerman. Miriam Stack. Mary Louise Gore, and Ann Kapp were going into a snappy dance routine to do their part by furnishing entertainment for the soldiers. I was just about ready to take my leave of the camp when I was told that the camp hostesses were giving a party and extended me an invitation; so I decided to stay, and boy was I glad I did. Just let me give you the names of some of those hostesses and see if the names are familiar: Jean Warner, Wanda Van Alstine, Maxine Olsen. Ruth Nickeson and (in spite of McLeod) Helen Ray. As you can guess I picked up much chatter about several other of my long-lost classmates. I found that Don Fisk was head of a prominent boogie woogie band. It seems he tried classical, but gave it up as a bad job. As a side line he still takes the daily weather report with Don Dopkins as his assistant. Don seems to have had his camera taken from him because of an unflattering picture he took of the General. Incidentally the General is Wayne Welch, who was pronounced a military genius, and it appears that he is running for President next term with the Henderson brothers as his campaign managers. I was informed confidentially that Eleanor© Gordon and Edna Brandvold were over in Germany working against Hitlerism, and are fighting over who will take the credit for his downfall which is expected in the very near future, and I don't mean another four years. Thelma Schuette and Yvonne Green have rigged up a trumpet and saxophone duet, and can be heard every Sunday over SYX. In their spare time they come over to the camp and teach the boys jujitsu. Doris Betcher has worked her way up to private secretary of the commanding officer, Rodney Sodergren. Rodney's private chauffeur is Edward Clement. If you will recall Bud always did have a fondness for cars. Bob Barrington and Ben Werner have spent the best years of their life coaxing the race bug they made in high school to do eight hundred miles an hour. The last time I saw them they had thirteen speeds ahead and one backwards, and now they have fifty ahead and none backwards. As I stepped outside for a breath of fresh air. who should come whizzing to a stop before me but Ruth Nicolas and lone Smith, who have volunteered their services to the army. They say it is quite exciting, and I didn't ask them if they meant the ambulance driving. Belva Jacobsen and Cliela Flaget seem to have had the same idea, but they wanted to get in the thick of the battle so Uncle Sam shipped them over to the Philippines, where the Stars and Stripes are again waving. Charlotte Whitney and Ena Robinson are down in Latin America furthering the good neighbor policy. It must be fascinating for them; they were both so fond of dancing and—well, you know those Latin-Ameri- cans. Jerry Goldrick just published a book of poems and has finally retired from the theatre. Mary Poynter and Iola Smith have gone to India to do missionary work to further the cause of peace. Dorothy Platt and Roy Zuelke have set up an institution for the feeble minded. Business seems to be booming, but incidentally none of their customers are any of the class of forty- two. As the old saying goes, everything good can't last forever, so as the party broke up I went around and shook hands with all my friends and left them with fond memories of my high school days. 121 1 otteAe. 7hey Ane.

Talking I 22 ] PaAAitUf, 9 t (I m uj A short review is necessary of the features during the past year which have helped make Cut Bank grow into the city of renown that it is today. One of the most important of these features took place shortly after the close of school in 1941. Western Air Lines officials chose the Cut Bank airport as an important stop in its northern route, and, as Cut Bank is close to the Canadian border, it has become an emigration checking station. Plans are now underway to improve the field so that a night flight may be added to the present daylight flight. Another improvement for the city is that the old Cut Bank River bridge is about to be replaced. The new bridge will be a great improvement over the old one, as both approaches will be much wider and the grade of the hills will be cut down considerably. The first divisional tournament ever to be held in Cut Bank entertained teams from Libby, Poison, Browning, Sunburst, Chester, Chinook, St. Mary's and Fort Benton, March 12, 13 and 14. Browning emerged victorious. This was one of four Class B tournaments held throughout the state, none of which had a local team participating. The final feature important to Cut Bank was the Bondbardment Day held March 21st. Miss Sally Payne, a Hollywood movie actress, visited our city to help promote the sale of bonds. In the afternoon a large parade moved through Cut Bank's business district, followed by a program held in the gymnasium in the evening. Several R. C. A. F. boys came down from Canada for the parade and to perform stunts in the evening's entertainment. Mr. Toomey from Helena was the main speaker at the program. Altogether more than $25,000 worth of bonds were sold, making the project very successful. We, the senior class, hope that in the coming year our city will again lead in worthwhile achievements. t 23 i QmA. We feel that Cut Bank has been blessed in being able to do some small part in the nation's war effort. The most important thing that Cut Bank has done to help hasten victory is very obvious to most of us. Like all other towns in the U. S., Cut Bank has supplied man power to fight our enemies. Thus far approximately 300 young men have left Cut Bank to join the army, navy, air corps, or marines. Of these some have left their high school work to join the armed forces. Among the other services Cut Bank has contributed for victory is the campaign for the conservation and collection of paper by the Boy Scouts. They collected paper from house to house and have thus far gathered more than fifteen tons, worth nearly eighty dollars. All of the people of Cut Bank have cooperated amazingly in the purchase of Defense bonds and stamps. Of course wars are not won without money, so Cut Bank is doing its part toward furnishing as much as possible. Some of the services the Cut Bank school has offered for the victory program are worthy of mention. Adult courses in machine shop work, commercial studies, and home nursing are offered. The home economics classes have collected recipes using little or no sugar, and the manual arts classes have undertaken the project of making model airplanes for air raid spotters. From this evidence we can say that the people of Cut Bank are all doing their part toward the victory program. [ 24 ) Arras, Una May Bailey, Mary Bell. Jack Berger.

R. this year and elected officers which are as follows: Imperator, Jim Elliott; Sub Imperator, John Sheffield; Sceptor, Audrey Ellis; Pecuniator, Marjorie Gjertson; Nuntius, Jo Ann Sauter; Custos, Harvey Hall; Senators, Shirley McShane, Joan Sheffield, and Don Peterson. The Latin Club meets every other Thursday. The purpose of this organization is to give the student a broader knowledge of Latin and the Roman customs and at the same time provide them with entertainment. The Latin Club gave a dance on Valentines Day, presented an assembly and had their annual picnic. [ 30] In the Fall of 1941 the student council voted that a committee should be chosen to make a schedule of Assembly Programs. The committee framed a schedule that was very satisfactory. Every organization in the school that desired to put on an assembly was well pleased with its date. Approximately every two weeks of the year an assembly program was presented by one of these organizations. These programs were varied and as a whole were far better than those held in previous years. At the start of the year plans were under way to exchange assemblies with other schools but the tire shortage put a stop to that. The teachers voted on each assembly and the organization that put on the best assembly will have its name engraved on a silver cup. An annual declamatory contest is held at Cut Bank High School each spring. In 1942 the contest was won by Jewell Peterson, whose declamation was White Lilacs, by Leota Hulse Black. Those competing were Ena Robinson, Wallace Ruetten, Margaret Swenson, lone Smith, Eula Lee Todd, Louella Davis, and Janice Smith. Last year Louella Davis placed third in the state contest at Missoula. I 31 | The newest addition to the High School is a Trade and Industry course which is offered in a large, modern and well equipped machine shop. This course is offered to junior and senior boys. Upon completing this course they should be able to take their place in the defense industries which are of major importance to our country at this time. Equipment on hand at the present is as follows: 1 lathe, 1 large drill press, 2 arc welding machines, 2 acetylene welding and cutting torches, large acetylene generator, large grinder, small bench tool grinder, full set of machinists and mechanics tools, and blacksmith forge. Before the end of this school term 2 more lathes are expected to arrive. This will enable the boys to get a bit more experience on lathes and they are expecting to have all three lathes running. The stock room is very well arranged with a place for each individual tool. A checking system has been established which is on the order used in the larger industrial shops. Each boy is given a set of numbered checks corresponding with his enrollment number which he must turn into the boy in charge of the tool room for any certain type of tool which he may want to use. Upon returning the tool he will obtain his check back again. This has proven to work out very satisfactorily. Various projects have been finished by the boys such as machinists clamps, C clamps and bolts of various kinds. Some boys showed theii skill in forging blacksmith tongs and different forging tools while others have been busy arc welding and brazing. Among some of their work is a foundry furnace which will be completed before the school term is over. Among the major projects is the folding basketball backboard for the gymnasium. This backboard was so constructed that it folds up to the ceiling when not in use and has a geared winch. Also a winch was constructed to hoist and lower the score board. The blue print room was also furnished with a sliding blue print frame made in the shop. Most of the boys know how to read blue prints very well now and all their projects are made from blue prints. The boys are building a three-wheel tractor which they are going to use with a snow plow to clean side walks around the school, and also drag the athletic grounds. They are waiting to find some small front wheels before the tractor can be finished. As soon as the large lathe arrives they will be able to make the large chain sprocket for the drive. Another of the major projects for some of the boys was a race bug with a high compression motor, dual carburation, and they are now putting in a double transmission to increase the speed to over 100 M. P. H. All the machines in the shops are equipped with individual motors and a large chain hoist which is used for the purpose of lifting heavy objects is another feature in this shop. The shop has one of the best shower rooms of any school we know for the use of the boys who work in the shop. The shower room has a tile floor and tile walls. There are three turban ventilators in the building. Within the new high school addition is found the Manual Training Department. We feel the department is the very latest in arrangement and equipment. The drawing room is equipped with twenty-nine desks. Each desk provides storage space for six students. The blue-printing is a big factor in teaching drawing as well as making it possible for the students to make blue prints of their shop projects. The blue print room is equipped with a blue print machine, washer with drying rack and storage space for supplies. Adjoining the woodworking room we have the lecture room, tool room, finishing room, lumber room and storage room. The shop is eauipped with 66 student lockers and overhead storage space. We added a tool grinder, two lathes and a shaper to our new equipment. The department is so arranged that it is convenient for the students and teacher. The rooms are well lighted and spacious, contributing to health and safety of the student. I 32 1 The Theta Epsilon Home Ec Club has finished another successful year under the capable leadership of President Edna Brandvold. Other officers were: Wanda Van Alstine, Vice President; Marion Vastine, Secretary; Una May Arras, Treasurer; and Janet Somes, Scrap Book Editor, and Miss Stufft, Sponsor. The year's activities included formal initiation, a Hallowe'en party, an all school dance, and a picnic. The group purchased equipment for the infirmary which was donated to the Red Cross, and sponsored the annual school board and band dinners, as part of their service work. The Home Economics Department, one of the best in the state, serves ideally in carrying in all phases of home-making education.

This group led by a large number of twirlers headed by a drum major and drum majorette has performed at all public meetings, parades, football and basketball games, and the annual music festival at Havre. The band was also represented in the Governor's band by three of its members. This organization is active throughout the year, giving free public concerts during the summer months on the high school lawn. The band members gave a banquet in honor of Mr. Haburchak in each of the last two years, preceding the annual concert. This year the concert was held April 28, which ended the local activities for the year. Music Organizations in Cut Bank High School include a band of fifty-one members, an orchestra of thirty members and a Glee Club of forty-eight members. Orchestra and Glee Club are under the direction ot Babbette Millspaugh, assisted by Eleanor Olson. The Orchestra made four public appearances during the school year; at the Armistice program, Junior and Senior plays and at the Graduation Exercises. The major production of the Glee Club was the Operetta Who Discovered America? , one of the best entertainments of the school year. Bob Sampson, tenor, played the leading role assisted by soloists Buddy Arras, Danny Poore, and Edna Brandvold. Senior vocalists also appear at the Graduation Exercises. The band under the direction of Nicholas Haburchak did much to stimulate interest in the athletic contests at which they appeared. The band also played with other Northern Montana bands at the annual festival at Havre. ★ Thelma Schuette Betty Lou Kraut Marion Vastine Patricia Schram Telpha Davis Ann Landry Ina Ree Boe Wanda McGlothlin Audrey Ellis Barbara Fisk Arlee Trendholm Ena Robinson Ted Fowler Yvonne Green Alice Kemmer T.

A. is an organization to stimulate interest in girls athletics and promote ideals of health and sportsmanship. Sports participated in are: Badminton, volleyball, basketball, softball, ping pong, swimming, tennis, archery, hiking, and bowling. Points are awarded for participation in the various activities. When a girl has earned a thousand points she is presented with a G. A. A. letter. When an additional two hundred points are earned then the member receives a star. The officers of the club for this year are: President, Thelma Schuette; Vice President, Francis Linder; Secretary and Treasurer, Eileen Ruetten; Sports Reporter, Thelma Schuette. The Pep Squad is composed of twenty members under the auspices of Miss Neil. This organization is honorary, and new members can not be accepted without vote. The purpose of this group is to support the team with organized yelling, and entertain the fans during the halves. Several patriotic drills were well accepted throughout the year, and the Pep Squad made a trip to Browning for the Browning-Cut Bank game. The officers for the year were Jean Warner, President; Margaret Sauter, Vice President; and Edna Brandvold, Secretary and Treasurer. ★ I 41 1 eeiiA The C club this year has been one of the most active organizations in school. This year the club has taken the initiative in many of the school activities and has sponsored dances and other social gatherings for the benefit of the student body. Members sold candy and pop at the Divisional Tournament to raise money for a trip to the Park. As this enterprise was quite successful, the talented members may be seen camping on some out of the way place in the park this spring along about May. The C club took over policing the assemblies this year and though it did not meet with the approval of most of the student body it still made the assemblies decidedly more orderly. An election was held at the first meeting of this term. Officers elected were: President, Dan Poore, Sleepy Koontz, Vice President; Jim Sheffield, Secretary and Treasurer. All of the gallant lettermen of the football team were initiated. When the initiation was over they didn't look so gallant but were happy, nevertheless to be members of the club. The men initiated were: Jack Sims, Richard Baker, Dick Dean, Bud Clement, John Ungar, Bob Burns, Norman Gertzen, Jack Cochran, Harvey Hall, and Jack Dunsmoor. The lettermen initiating, or in other words the rest of the C club, were: Dan Poore, Gerry Gertzen, Gerald Gold-rick, James Murphy, Clarence Koontz, Wiley Welch, Bill Henderson, Dewey Harris, Kenny Dahlquist, Buddy Arras, Howard McLeod, Donald Peterson, Herbert Woods, Harry Novak, and Jim Sheffield. The Faculty members of our club are: Mr. Keyes, Mr. Senechal, and Mr. Mjolsness. In closing we would like to mention Paul Chumrau, a member of our club whose cooperation and company we appreciated very much and whose attitude as a friend was unbeatable. We hope that when the war is over that Chum will return to Cut Bank High and help advise the athletes of future years. In the annual girls inter-class tournament the veteran basketball champs of the past two years, who are now Seniors, again conquered this year. The Juniors placed second with Sophomores third and Freshmen fourth. The Senior and Junior game proved the most thrilling of the tournament. The Juniors started with six players against the Senior's five. The game ended with four Seniors and five Juniors. The score: Seniors 27, Juniors 17. The Senior boys won from the Sophomore boys by a one-point margin. Henderson and Dahlquist starred for the champs, and Peterson and Humble led the Sophomore offense. The Juniors placed third by defeating an inexperienced band of Freshmen.

After the initiation was over and we had settled down to diligent study, we selected the following class officers: Jim Sheffield, President; Lewis Pistoria, Vice President; Dorothy Campbell, Secretary and Treasurer, and Margaret Sauter, Reporter. Two boys-—Lewis Pistoria and Harry Novak made the basketball team and Lewis also made the football squad. The Sophomore boys showed outstanding athletic ability with Lewis Pistoria again starring on the football and basketball teams, and Harry Novak, Herbert Woods, and Jack Sims also making the basketball team. Our class officers were: President, Herbert Woods; Vice President, Harry Novak; Secretary, Marion Vastine; and Treasurer, Betty Van Alstine. We participated in many extra-curricular activities and were waiting anxiously for the day when we would become upperclassmen. Sept. 2, 1941! Upperclassmen! After impressing the Freshmen and Sophomores with our superiority as Juniors, we finally forgot about it and let them alone. The girls are still trying to get one of their members elected head of the class but it just can't be done and the big strong he-men are still running this class. Jack Bell was elected President, Margaret Sauter, Vice President, Una May Arras, Secretary, and Jack Cochran, Treasurer. Our class play Wings Over Washington was a big success and we wish to thank Miss Stufft and Miss Neil for all the hard work they put on it. The proceeds for the play were used for the prom, which was also very successful. These activities concluded our junior year, and we leave, looking forward to and yet hating to see that day come when we shall enter our last year in Cut Bank High School.

The initiation was carried off in a very modified form but all members of the class took part. Under the guidance of Miss Millspaugh and Mr. Haberchak, we elected Harvey Hall, President; John Sheffield, Vice President; Annette Berger, Secretary; Shirley Ness, Treasurer; and Janet Hatch, Reporter. Don Peterson made the basketball team. Our first official business as Sophomores was to elect class officers which were as follows: President, Harvey Hall; Vice President, Don Peterson; Secretary, Audrey Ellis; Treasurer, Donald Gold-rick; and Reporter, Pat Armstrong. Mr. Aahl and Mr. Senechal were our advisors. The initiation of the Frosh, which we conducted, was virtually the same as was imposed upon us during our Freshman year. This year Irwin Davis, Don Peterson, and Richard Humble made the basketball team, and Don Goldrick, Richard Baker, Earl Zimmerman, Vernon Fuller, Bob Saxon, Don Peterson, Harvey Hall, and Norman Gertzen made the football team. QlaA.i. eMlita'uf, On September 2, the Freshmen walked amazed and wondering in the front door of the High School. They endured the initiation, honored the Sophomores with a dance and then settled down to work. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Ha-burchak and Miss Millspaugh the class officers were elected as follows: President, Joan Sheffield; Vice President, Sydney Anderson; Secretary and Treasurer, Dick Baker; Reporter, Telpha Davis.

Twenty-four students elected the following officers: President, Buddy Arras; Vice President, Harvey Holland Secretary-Treasurer, Kathryn Martin. Members of the club completed in three practice tournaments and in the North Central Montana District Debate tournament held at Great Falls. One of the practice tournaments was held in Cut Bank. This was the first time Cut Bank was ever host to a debate tournament. Two members of the club, Danny Poore and Buddy Arras, composed the team to represent our school in the finals at Great Falls. These boys defeated Great Falls and Havre, and were defeated by Great Falls; thereby winning second place and earning the opportunity to represent Cut Bank in the State finals held at Missoula. The following boys received debate keys: Wiley Welch, Tommy Davis, Dan Poore, and Buddy Arras.

Rated at the end of last season as perhaps one of the strongest teams in the district the Wolves due to one reason or another lost four of their starting lineup. Pistoria, triple threat backfield man, joined the army; Ungar, hard hitting back, quit school to work, and Koontz and Goldrick, linemen, were lost due to injuries. Though the score book showed the season to be a poor one it was still successful in the sense that it helped in developing next year's Compliments of JOHNSON BARBER SHOP I 52 | team and the team that follows. The seniors on this year's team were: Howard McLeod, Gerry Gertzen, Danny Poore, Leo Quinlan, Billy Henderson, Dick Dean, Duane Harris, and Wiley Welch. Two seniors, Bill Henderson and Wiley Welch, received silver footballs this year for three years participation and as this is quite an achievement they are certainly in order for congratulations. The results of the season's games were as follows: The season opened against Malta (incidently the Northern Division champs), and the result was an overwhelming victory for Malta, 42-0. The next game, the improved Wolves held the Choteau Bulldogs to a 12-7 count and for a time it appeared the Wolves would win but they were unable to push across the score that would bring them victory. The next trip the boys traveled over the mountains to play Whitefish on a muddy and slow field. The Wolves were no match for the hardy mountain boys and as a result they returned with a 32-7 score against them. The only bright spot of this game was a triplelateral play on which Dan Poore lugged the leather over the pay stripe. The Browning Indians measured the Wolves for their fourth defeat of the season to the tune of 25-0. This was the first time that Cut Bank had played on Browning's new field and they reported that field was a dandy but that it certainly had some hard spots in it. In the game with the Shelby Coyotes the Wolves were again forced to bow in defeat to a superior team but in several spots of the game they showed flashes of real football but could never capitalize enough on the Compliments of GLACIER CAFE AND FOUNTAIN J.

In the canto with the Conrad Cowboys the Wolves as usual were defeated but for perhaps the first time in the year showed signs of clicking like a balanced team. The final score was 40-7. The last game of the season was the only victory chalked up by the Wolves when they hit their stride to defeat the Great Falls Reserves by the score of 32-0. In this final game the team played stellar ball and well earned the victory they achieved over the hard fighting Reserves. And as the suits were checked in another season of football had ended at Cut Bank High, a season of not as much success as previously, but nevertheless the team carried on the traditions of our school and what they achieved in experience and sportsmanship far surpassed their defeats on the gridiron. lioAJzetLcJl (leAM ui Basketball at Cut Bank High this year took quite a tumble. And compared with other records may at first appear quite humble. Though this year's five for three years played and not great honors won, T'was well on in the season which Coach Chumrau was inducted. Because the army needed him to have it's men instructed. So wife and Baby Paul and Chum took leave of our fair city, And though his country needed him it still seemed such a pity. Then Coach Senechal took over the job that Chum vacated, And under his skillful guidance the team was once again re-rated. He made a couple changes in fast improving team, And the Wolves were once more victory bound for at least t'would that way seem. I 54 i Now at this time t'would be better if I'd pause and then review. The games of this fair season and each score would give to you. The information's first hand from the members of the squad, So I don't want no complaining or you calling this a fraud. Across the mountain went the Wolves for the first games of the season, And there defeated two good teams, perhaps training was the reason. For when the final whistles blew the Wolves had points aplenty. Columbia Falls had but fifteen and Whitefish only twenty. The winning Wolves to home returned and in the coming week, Made the Conrad Cowboys victims of their winning streak. And though the score was very close and Conrad almost won. They netted only nineteen points and the Wolves had twenty-one. It was in the following game that the Wolves met their defeat. Oh; if only we had not those Ponies had to meet. We might have set a record but alas it was too late. The Wolves had only twenty-three; the Ponies thirty-eight. The next game was with Brady and though large was the score, The Bulldogs gave us all they had and still came back for more. Forty-four was Cut Bank's score and Brady's twenty-seven. So the Bulldogs were defeated only three points and eleven. The Browning game was played for Chum and though we lost the count, The two points that we lost it by was no really large amount. We bade Chumrau a last farewell and bid him off first rate Continental Supply Co.

With Chumrau gone and farewells spoken, Our victory march again was broken, This defeat was Shelby done, Thirty points to forty-one. We traveled next to Valier's new gym, And the game we played lack much in vim The tired Wolves won once again, The score was twenty-four to ten. The Wolves another victory took, This time at the cost of poor Chinook, The game was fast and fouls were few, The score was thirty-eight to thirty-two. Then came the Saints and Shanahan A game that thrilled the sporting fan, Their points were plenty ours were few St. Mary's thirty-eight and we twenty-two. Across the mountains the Fishers came To gain revenge but all in vain The game was close, the shooting fine, But we won thirty-one to twenty-nine. The Conrad game was the closest in years And many Cowboy fans shed tears To think that the team they played so clean Should beat them sixteen to seventeen. The following game we Sunburst played, And the rivalry was not delayed The game was close but when we were through We had twenty-seven to their twenty-two.

Certified Public Accountant t 56 | Compliments of CUT BANK SHOE REPAIR If I could but think of an enecdote To tell about the Shelby Coyote It would be a lot easier to tell the score Was they twenty-nine and we twenty-four. The season over the tournament starts And broken were many Cut Bank hearts, The team we expected to do so well Was defeated by scores we hate to tell. We went to the tournament the very first day, And there we the Brady Bulldogs did play. Our shooting was effortless, our ball playing clean, And we easily defeated them thirty-six to fifteen. Then Friday night and darkest disaster! Our ball playing fast but Sunburst's was faster, We tried awful hard but they knocked us out clean, For them twenty-five and us only sixteen. The next game with Shelby and then we were through. With their thirty-seven and our thirty-two. Thus ended the careers of five senior members, A five that's well thought of if one only remembers. The tournament over and Browning had won, And Sunburst was second at the closing gun. Shelby was third and the season was ended. Time it was now for track stuff to be mentioned. Before closing this poem I'd just like to say That the Browning Indians in the state tournament did play And though they lost out in the very first game They still had done much to further their name. ★ A.
