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

 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 )

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
