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

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1943 volume:

FOREWORD AND DEDICATION T X HE necessities of war may make this the last annual published for the duration. This issue of the Wolf tries to depict some of the subtle and profound changes which war has made in the life of this high school. Students and teachers feel the pressure of time. There is more work and less play. There is a new seriousness and purposiveness in the school atmosphere, for this is a school at war. This school is dedicated to the purpose of training men and women to fight and work for the rights of every individual and for our own self-determining way of life. This 1943 Wolf is dedicated to that same purpose.

FACULTY Supt. Davis' Message Let me congratulate you, the members of the Senior Class, on continuing your education during the days in which our nation is at war. Your country has asked you to do that very thing, and you have answered the call. Here in Cut Bank High school from day to day you have been making your contribution to democratic life. The Wolf'' of '43 is a practical example of your cooperative endeavor. H. C. Davis, Superintendent Principal's Message I have confidence in the integrity, courage, and intelligence of 1943 graduates.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY 'Way back in 1938, we, the seniors, entered Cut Bank High School—to have the honor of being the first eighth grade class in the new high school. We eventually became freshmen and went through the usual routine of initiation, etc. We elected Jim Sheffield class president and two of our members, Harry Novak and Louis Pistoria, made the football and basketball team. With a little more confidence, we walked into C. B. H. S. as sophomores. Herbert Woods was elected president, and the class was well represented in the glee club, pep squad, G. A. A., Theta Epsilon, and the band. We were proud of Harry Novak, Louis Pistoria, and Herbert Woods for their activities in football and basketball. Proudly we walked into our positions as juniors and took over the responsibilities of upperclassmen. We took part in many extra-curricular activities and Jack Bell was chosen class president. Many boys won letters in football and basketball. Wings Over Washington was presented as the class play and the following took part in it: Jimmy Elliott, Margaret Sauter, Jack Bell, Betty Van Alstine, Jim Sheffield, Marion Vastine, Paul Kleinsmith, Janet Somes, Roy McAdam, Mary Dell Werner, and Ann O'Loughlin. This year was hi-lighted by the beautiful prom scene which was a ship deck. Whew! We made it and now we enter Cut Bank High School as high and mighty seniors. We now have: Jim Sheffield as president; Jack Cochran as vice president; Mary Dell Werner as secretary; Dorothy Campbell as treasurer; Jimmy Elliott as student body president; Jack Cochran as C Club president; we have Dorothy Lofberg as Live Wire editor; Jim Sheffield as annual editor; Una May Arras as G. A. A. president; we have Janei Somes as Theta Epsilon president; Paul Kliensmith as Glee Club president; we also have Jack Sim, Roy Pattison, Bob Burns, Jimmy Elliott and Jack Cochran on the football team; Elliott, Sim, and Pattison on the basketball team; we have Paul Kliensmith as one of the cheer leaders; we have Louis Pistoria serving in the Air Force, Herbert Woods in the Marines, and Harry Novak in the Air Corps; the senior play was That Crazy Smith Family with a cast of twelve seniors. With this as their history, the class of '43 says so long to you and good old Cut Bank High School. I n J LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS We. the Senior Class of 1943. being of supposedly sound minds and memories, in no way influenced by the janitor, teachers, or underclassmen, do hereby declare this to be our last will and testament in order to distribute our interests in the world to our fellow schoolmates and teachers: ARTICLE I To the Class of '44 we leave our most valued possessions, our honored position in C.

Signed: CLASS OF '43. R. U. Doodle. 1 12 1 CLASS PROPHECY One day as we were strolling through the park in a certain metropolis, who should we come upon but Mr. Davis and Mr. Mjolsness sunning themselves on a park bench. They both had long white beards, and looked very patriarchal. After chatting for a moment, they asked us if we had seen any of the old class of '43. We certainly had—and we told them the following tale: Harry Tuma, who is a general of great merit in the U. S. Army, loaned us a jeep to make a cross-country trip. We started from Hollywood, after visiting some people there. On the set of Bowlegged Bill Rides Again we ran across Bob Burns, who is now a Hollywood stunt man. and famous for his resemblance to Spencer Tracy. He told us to be sure and look up Betty Van Alstine, who is leading a group of Follies girls in a theater owned by Ruth Perrine. Anne O'Loughlin was running a stage door canteen, which was packed with service men. There we found three one-time classmates who had gone into the service—Herb Woods, Harry Novak and Louis Pistoria. They were all displaying distinguished service crosses which General Tuma had just awarded them. Mary Dell and Marion are still together. They were serving donuts in the canteen, at the following rates: Service men. 1 donut; good-looking service men, 2 donuts; officers, 3 donuts; and good-looking officers, unlimited. Joe Ybarrola was helping out—probably for publicity—as he is now the great lover of moviedom with thousands of fans swooning for him. Time was growing short so we left Hollywood and started East. Headlines in the Reno evening papers proclaimed that Marjorie Hungate had just obtained her divorce decree from a certain millionaire, and the charges were alienation of affections. In Salt Lake City we stopped off to see that Wanda Harris' telephone exchange was running smoothly. Margaret Sauter was doing her bookkeeping and she isn't to be trusted very far. This is an ideal telephone office; the girls all sat around and drank milk shakes and chewed gum. A big sign said, The Customer is Always Wrong! A little abashed, we got on our jeep and started out again. At a railroad crossing we had to wait for a train. We could scarcely believe our eyes when we saw Jack Bell, in rags and tatters, go riding by. Traveling incognito, but we recognized him. Feeling a little faint, we drove on. Or should we say, bounced on! At Denver, we visited a huge library, directed by Alvina Dipple. The shelves were filled with an impressive morocco-bound book, and we investigated to see what it was. The title was Life of An Oil Magnate. or Greasy Tales From Derrick Hill. by Roy G. McAdam. He had seen to it that she had plenty of copies. Alvina told us that Roy Pattison had gone back to Carbondale, Colorado, dnd had settled down with Junie. Little Pat is now a star forward on the team. Our next stop was Kansas City, where a sign directed us to Alvera Lubka's hospital. A sign outside said, All Hope Abandon Ye Who Enter Here.” We shut our eyes and dashed in. In room 24 we found Betty Jensen, suffering from writer's cramp from all the letters she used to write. In room 25 there was Una May, suffering from amnesia. There were two nurses on the case—Ethel McIntyre and Janice Dirlam. We found Sauter in the office, getting Alvera in the red. Stopping in St. Louis, we found the Jacobsen twins crooning the St. Louis Blues, because their new knee-action toothbrush isn't selling very well. Can't see why there's no profit—maybe Sauter's been here, too. Passed Vernon Berger on our way to New Orleans—he was driving a custom-mad6 Rolls-Royce. won by guessing how many bubbles there were in a bar of soap. We got there in time for the Mardi Gras, and found Paul Kliensmith employed as chief taster of wines and fine liquors for Bill Sandell, proprietor of the hottest nite club in town. Sauter turned up again—couldn't find out whether she was bookkeeping or gone into business with Paul. From there we made a jaunt to Chicago. The first thing we did was to buy a newspaper. Imagine our surprise to note that Dorothy Lofberg was the owner of that and six other papers. On the front page was a picture of Anita Best, and underneath was the caption. Wins Badminton Championship, and. As Sideline Is Perfecting Never Miss Badminton Racket. We turned to the sports page, and found that Jim Elliott was a crack sports writer. In his widely read column, he made note of the tact that Jack Sim's famous basketball team now holds the world championship. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but from there we went to Niagara Falls. There was Edith Hanell, on a honeymoon with that cute soldier she used to go with. She was painting beautiful pictures of the scenery and told us her pictures were in the Metropolitan Art Gallery. We left this lovely spot and struck out for New York City. Feeling thirsty after our long trip, we stopped at a soda fountain. The proprietor was Jack Cochran following in Pappy's footsteps. He mixes the most original goo known to man. (We still haven't recovered.) There was Margaret slaving over his books. Columbia University was our next stop. There we found Smith, a super-intelligent professor. She has just finished her book—entitled Smith's Standard Unabashed Dictionary. This book is a controversial subject among Men Who Know. Jim Sheffield has a big laboratory there, and has just invented a Never-fail gremlin cure. ($1 a bottle. Pd. Ad.) We visited the ex-Pinky Somes, married to a crack trumpet player now featuring at the Pink Elephant room of the Ritz-Waldorf Hotel. Then we bowled a line in Joyce Ormson's Exclusive Bowling Alleys. She has a new set of rules—gutter balls count ten; there are three balls to a frame, to make it easier to get a spare, and if you get a strike you automatically get 300. Betty Schaeffer was on leave from the Waves. She is getting tired of scrubbing decks. Riding a jeep is hard on clothes. Our next stop was a smart shop on Fifth Avenue. We were pleased to see that the stylish girl who owned it was Dorothy Campbell. She greeted us politely, and introduced her bookkeeper. Margaret Scruter. Perhaps we should have warned her. The gossip around town is that Donald Koepke. the new warden at Sing Sing, was caught trying to escape over the wall. We dropped over to see him. but we must have looked rather wild after this little jeep jaunt, because one of the guards grabbed us and threw us in a cell. Said we looked like a menace to humanity. We're on parole now—trying to keep on the straight and narrow path. No. 131313131313 WH and No. 131313131314 JO John Sheffield Earl Zimmerman Maria Svetcoff Bobby Anderson Lorraine Barr T. J.

I I IMHi BIOLOGY SCIENCE CHEMISTRY COMMERCIAL PHYSICAL EDUCATION 31 Aeronautics Pre-flight aeronautics was introduced into the Cut Bank High School this year. Mr. Chas. Johnson, who had just completed training in this field, organized the course. Thirteen boys and one girl, all seniors, enrolled in the course. Some assistance was received from the personnel of the local air base. In March, Mr. Johnson was called to Ontario, Oregon, to conduct a ground school course there for aviation cadets. The Aeronautics class was taken over by Mr. Mjolsness. The program included airplane construction, human factors in flight, aero-dynamics, aircraft engines, meteorology, communications, and navigation. The course was sponsored by the United States Army Air Corps and by the United States Office of Education, to provide basic training for men and women who will later go into the military and construction services of their country. The course is extremely practical. All students are required to pass a test in receiving and sending the international Morse Code, and receiving and sending via semaphore system. Girl's Physical Education 1943 finds our country realizing, more than ever before, the importance of physically sound bodies. Girls of today must prepare themselves to meet this challenge. Through physical education, a program adapted to meet this need, they can find an aid to physical fitness. Physical education in our high school is a required course for both freshman and sophomore girls. During the school year, 1942-43, fifty-nine girls have been enrolled. Freshmen meet on Mondays and Wednesdays and Sophomores on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each class meets on alternate Fridays for Health-Hygiene Study. Only girls who are able to pass a physical examination given by a local doctor are expected to participate in the required classwork. Girls unable to participate are as- Compliments of Northwest Refining Company ★ Manufacturers of GRIZZLY GASOLINE [ 33 1 See The Ben Franklin Store First ★ USE THE DIFFERENCE TO BUY DEFENSE BONDS American Pipe and Supply Co. ★ Dealers in OILWELL SUPPLIES Compliments of Cut Bank Gas Utilities signed duties such as basketroom girls and team managers. Through the Girls' Athletic Association, which meets twice a week, physical education facilities are open to Junior and Senior girls. With a wide variety of games and sports opened to all girls, it is hoped that besides the physical value, they will also find some social enjoyment in their physical education. As much time as weather conditions will allow, both in the fall and spring seasons, is spent in outdoor sports-softball, fieldball, and archery. During the winter months inside sports include basketball, volleyball, ping-pong, badminton, folk dancing, tumbling, and calisthenics. For the past year, calisthenics and corrective posture exercises have been stressed. It is important that women know how to handle their bodies in motion. War time conditions necessitate employing women in jobs effecting additional muscular strains. Through training, efficient ways of handling one's body are developed. In the spring of the year the physical education department presents a pageant which brings before the public some of the work done during the school year. This year the girls use as their theme, folk dances from some of our allied nations. All girls took part in this pageant. It is one of our aims that physical education will offer an opportunity of leadership, sportsmanship, and a chance for each girl to prove her ability to work well with others. It seems vitally important that every individual should take from the physical education program a healthy body and mind. Boys Physical Education War changed the physical education program from an easy going recreation course for sophomores and freshmen to a vital part of the school program open to every boy in high school and required of all members of the Victory Corps. Its activities broadened to provide military drill and toughening exercises [ 34 ] for boys entering the armed forces. This vigorous new program was climaxed by public exhibition of students running the army obstacle course at the invitational track meet. The other activities included tumbling, boxing, volleyball, basketball and track. The high school physical education classes cooperated with the junior high and girls physical education groups in presenting an entertaining and instructive public performance April 9. New equipment added this year included a spring board and tumbling mats, and material for the obstacle course built by the Manual Arts department. Commercial Department There are approximately seventy students taking the commercial course, which includes shorthand I and II, typing I and II, and bookkeeping. With the scarcity of clerical workers in the service today, commercial is rapidly coming to the front. The requirements for commercial courses are sophomore standing before taking typing I, junior standing and two years typing for shorthand I, and bookkeeping is preferably a senior subject. Besides their regular work, which includes letter writing, legal forms, billing work, and typing straight copy, students are learning to run the mimeograph. The students have taken an active part in doing mimeographing and stencil work for the school, and even have branched out into community work in some cases. They have cut stencils and ran them for the programs, tickets, tests, and various other work. The typing II students have also learned the basic fundamentals of filing. The shorthand II students have advanced very rapidly in speed this year, and Margaret Sau'ter and Joyce Ormson, have passed their 140 speed test which is a very outstanding achievement. The equipment includes twenty-four typewriters (all Royals and Underwoods); a Monroe calculator, and A.

The commercial department can do even more toward training students for positions in government, defense, clerical work, and in private industry as time goes on and equipment is available. Chemistry We need science in education not primarily to train technicians for the industries, but to give everybody a little glimpse of the scientific mode of approach to life's problems and to give everybody some familiarity with at least one field in which the distinction between correct and incorrect is not blurred and uncertain, and that one opinion is as good as another. The science of chemistry is organized around those fundamentals. Biology The bases of the course are scientific principles with practical applications used as illustrations of the generalizations. Important as dollars-and-cents aspects of biology may be, it seems more important that the boy and girl learn that life is worth living. While biology includes extensive treatments of such practical things as control, conservation, hygiene, nutrition, and disease, even more attention is paid to merely interesting things. Biology can contribute very much to the happiness of the world, and that is the most practical thing about it. Machine Shop The Machine Shop under the direction of Mr. O. C. Pugerude expanded its program this year with the addition of new equipment. Cut Bank now has one of the most complete shops in the state for training boys in vitally important machine trades. Junior and senior boys only are enrolled. They work in the shop for a half day each. Several of last year's graduates have capitalized on this training [ 36 i and are now holding jobs as welders and machinists in war industries. The machine shop is well equipped with tools and machinery. There are three lathes, all of standard make; one large Wolcott lathe 20 by 10'; one large Monarch lathe 16 by 24 x 8'; one gap bed lathe with taper attachment; and one South Bend 10 x 4'. There are also one large 20 American back geared shaper, one 21 back geared drill press, two electric driven arc welders, two double grinders, one fifty pound Oxweld acetyline generator, two Oxweld torches, two sets of gauges, and one large cutting torch; a set of blacksmith tools, a combination gas and coal forge, and lots of small hand tools. The junior boys have built hammers, tongs, and various other small tools; and a large portable crane for handling large material in and out of the lathes and shaper, and also to lift out engines in cars. The boys are very proud of this department, and are busy every day building more tools and equipment. Both seniors and juniors are now building a cupola to melt cast iron in, and one brass furnace. The cupola is fired with coke and the brass furnace is fired with natural gas. The senior boys have built many tools for the tool room. Among some of the best tools are hand hack saws and screw drivers, all of which require machine work, blacksmithing, and molding. Screw drivers are forged from tool steel with a cast aluminum handle, which is afterwards machined and knurled. Some of the boys have built machinist hammers, of which they are very proud. Some seniors are working on a tractor and snow plow, which is going to be used to clean the sidewalk, and to work around the school grounds and football field; but due to high priority on all materials, it is hard to make the progress on this project that we had expected.

In the latter we may find as many as 30 students at a time browsing over the shelves, reading current magazines, or working on some research problem. Students are chosen to be in charge of the library one period each school day. It is their duty to maintain order, mend books, check in mail, and check out over 2,000 books and magazines each school week. New features added to the library this year include the Reader's Guide to periodical Literature, over 100 new books for recreational reading, a new loan desk, reserve book shelf, reference shelves, and the magazines are now being filed in the work room. Part-Time Cooperative Program In the P. T. C. program the students work three hours each school day in a down town business place. In addition to their work experience, the student study a related subject in salesmanship and consumer goods. The purpose of the P. T. C. program is to give the student work-experience, and a first hand opportunity in meeting the public in business transactions. This helps to make it easier for the student to get started in the occupation of selling. The student secures work experience while in school and should be ready for work when he graduates. Upon graduation, the employer is usually glad to place the successful student at work as a regular employee in his organization. Victory Corps The Victory Corps, which is a national student organization sponsored by the United States Office of Education and the Army and Navy Departments, was sponsored locally by the Student Council. The majority of the under-classmen were enrolled in the general membership while many of the upper-class people were enrolled in one of the five special divisions. The purpose of the Victory Corps is to chan- [ 38 | nel the energies of high school youth so that they will be most effective in training for in military service, and to give the most productive use of their energies in the many services that they can perform as students. Home Economics The homemaking department this year has provided instruction for 60% of the girls in high school. It is an elective subject and it is possible to take three years, thereby, acquiring a major in this field toward graduation from this high school. The department itself is a combination type laboratory which is becoming more and more popular with school administrators for the average size high school where there is but one home economics instructor. All the work of the department is done in one room which is completely equipped with five unit kitchens, seventy individual locked boxes for sewing equipment, five sewing machines, ironing board, dressing room, etc. The first year course which is open to freshmen girls covers the basic fundamentals of cooking and sewing. The foods work which is carried on in the meal planning basis stresses the buying and preparation of family breakfasts and dinners as well as the proper serving and eating of food. Simple school dresses are constructed during the sewing unit. The problems of choosing becoming styles and colors are also discussed and each girl is encouraged to buy the type of garment which will best suit her as an individual. In family relations, the girls study etiquette, personal grooming, and learn how to get along with family and friends. The second year course is open to any girl who has completed the first year. The foods work entails food preservation, wartime recipes, family dinners, and of course the basic principles of nutrition which are so very important if our nation is to be well-fed. Sewing brings more difficult problems in school dresses, children's clothing, and the renovating of clothing.

The remodeling of present homes and of course the problems of repair are stressed during this time when new homes cannot be built. Selection and care of furniture also finds an important place in this unit. Child care is also studied. The third year course is open to Juniors and Seniors who have taken the first two years. The work follows the same general pattern of the other two years but the idea that the girls will use the information and training in their homes. The problems of suitable vocations for girls before and perhaps after marriage and the training and preparation for each one of these are also discussed. Connected with the department is a grade school lunch program which provides a supplementary hot dish for those who must bring their lunches. It is run on a non-profit basis, and provides practical experience for those girls who assist in the serving. The entire program in this department is of especial value at the present time. Today as never before our high school homemaking departments are contributing to the welfare of the nation. The problem of purchasing and preparing satisfying as well as nutritional sound meals is no easy one because of necessary wartime restrictions. With increased clothing costs and fewer satisfactory garments being made the problem of clothing the families of the nation is growing. Family life is disrupted by men and women going into the armed services and defense industries of our country, therefore, making it necessary to learn how to adjust oneself to present times in so far as family relations are concerned. The Home Ec Department in this school is adequately equipped to give each girl in high school an opportunity to further her knowledge and experience in the phases of homemaking thus outlined. Her home should be directly affected and in turn the community and the nation as a whole benefited by her experiences. I 40 ] Basketball The Wolves at the first of the season were very green. Only four of last year's first string returned. With this nucleus the squad developed steadily. The team was more of a developer unit. Mr. Faris chose three seniors, three juniors, two sophomores, and two freshmen allowing for the future teams of the school. The Wolves started the season as a dark horse. Not having placed in last year's tournament and the loss of six men from the 1941 squad made them even more looked down on by other teams. By the time the season had progressed the squad was hard to overcome. As the tournament rolled around the Wolves were considered a heavy contender for the title and proved that in the four games they played. Losing three seniors—Jack Sim, Roy Pattison, and Jim Elliott—the squad has a lot of good material for the replacement jobs. Although the team lacked height and weight, they made up for this handicap with their fighting spirit and sportsmanship.

Points can be earned by turning out for practices held twice a week and by making class teams. Officers for the G. A. A. for the 1942-43 season were: President, Una May Arras; Vice President, lo Ann Sauter; and Secretary and Treasurer, Shirley McShcme. Miss Wesin and Miss Olson were sponsors. The girls made one public appearance this year when they played in a preliminary basketball game. Two teams were chosen and the final score was 14-12. All the girls that turned out got a chance to play in this game. Captains for this game were Una May Arras and Eileen Ruetten. Games played this year were basketball, volleyball, archery, badminton, ping pong, bowling and many others. Theta Epsilon The Theta Epsilon Club, most commonly referred to as the Home Ec. Club, chose as its officers this year: Janet Somes, President; Una May Arras, Vice President; Shirley McShane, Secretary; Frances Linder, Treasurer; Jo Ann Sauter, Scrap Book Editor; Eileen Ruetten, Reporter; and Miss Stufft, Sponsor. The girls have enjoyed varied activities during the year. They included a Christmas party, a formal initiation, and a school dance. The dance was unique in that serpentine and confetti were used. Theta Epsilon has done its bit for the War Effort by sponsoring the stamp sale and packing Red Cross kits for the soldiers. Student Council The student council this year was very active and did a great deal in bringing about a better school life. This organization made arrangements for the annual school assemblies and scheduled the dances promoted by the various school organizations. The council laid plans for the air raid drills and promoted the High School I «| Victory Corps. Probably the largest job the organization undertook was the introduction of the Cut Bank High School Student Handbook. A very effective and patriotic maneuver was the Honor Roll of Cut Bank High School students who have gone into the armed forces. The student council is comprised of nine students and the advisers—Mr. Mjolsness and Mr. Davis. The officers are Jim Elliott, President; Don Goldrick, Vice President; Jo Ann Sauter, Secretary; Betty Van Alstine, Treasurer; Dorothy Lofberg, Live Wire Editor; Jack Cochran, C Club President; Jim Sheffield, Senior Class President; Harvey Hall, Junior Class President; Telpha Davis, Sophomore Class President; and Bob Peterson, Freshman Class President. The C Club The C Club is an organization of boys who, through their athletic ability have earned the right to wear the C. The club was sponsored this year by Coach Faris and Mr. Johnson. Officers were elected at the first of the year, and they are as follows; President, Jack Cochran; Vice President, Don Peterson; and Secretary, Jim Sheffield. Members who were initiated into the club during the term were Harold McLeod, Roy Pattison, Bob Cook, Charles Bird, Jim Corbett, Bob Anderson, Vernon Fuller, Bob Saxon, Ted Fowler, Robert Wiley, and Jim Elliott. The boys already in the club who initiated this year's letter winners were Jack Sim, Bob Bums, Jack Cochran, Norman Gertzen, Ervin Davis, Don Peterson, Dick Humble, Don Goldrick, Harvey Hall, Dick Baker, Jack Bell, and Jim Sheffield. Throughout the year the club was often in the spotlight. Whenever the athletes were called upon to do a job they did it both wilfully and successfully. The C club members enlisted as air raid wardens, aircraft spotters, and took active part in other helpful defense jobs. Their annual assembly program was another fete of which the club was justly proud. It is truly an honor to be a member of the C club.

Hi-Power Heccolene The Live Wire Pause a brief moment—and let us give you an intimate glimpse of the functions of this world-wide news gathering agency known so familiarly to us all as the Live Wire. About twenty-three years ago, Cut Bank High School first decided to have a school paper and selected the present name, Live Wire. For several years the paper was mimeographed. Around 1925, it was discontinued for two years, and when it was again resumed it was more like a newspaper but still mimeographed. In the year 1937, the Live Wires took a great step in making their paper a bigger and better journalistic art, for it was in this year that the printed form took the place of the mimeographed copy. Editors, readers, and faculty advisors have come and gone but, regardless of its changes in staffs and school administration, the paper has gone on with the same sole purpose it had twenty-three years ago — to promote school spirit, interest, originality and responsibility. Its policy is to dedicate most of the space to school activities, news of different classes and original articles submitted by students. The paper is a four-page printed news sheet, issued every three weeks. It receives its income from regular advertisements and any school activities it may sponsor. Live Wire is an extra-curricular activity. All staff members, especially Ye Olde Editore, wholeheartedly sacrifice time, labor, lessons, and love in making and editing. There were a few times when, perhaps, the Live Wire was unable to make the press deadline but we hope our apologies were accepted. Overjoyed that the burden of misery and despair will at last be lifted from our weary shoulders, we are: Editor........................Dorothy Lofberg Associate Editors..Joyce Ormson and Don Peterson Advisor...........................Mr. Mjolsness Business and Advertising....T, J.

The squad was hampered by lack of experience and weight. The boys soon became accustomed to the new coaching regime and by the time the first opponent was to be met they were speedily showing results. In the first game of the season the Great Falls Reserves defeated the Cut Bank eleven 20-6 on the Great Falls field. On September 25 the Shelby Coyotes came to Cut Bank for a practice game, and although the Wolves led during most of the game, a last minute run put Shelby out in front and giving them the 13-8 decision. The first victim to fall under the Wolves' onrush was the Havre Colts. This game proved easy for the improved Cut Bank team. The game ended 46-0—Cut Bank. The next week the Browning Indians were unable to be stopped. Their power and speed enabled them to squeeze out in front of a 12-7 score. October 16 and sweet old revenge. The Wolves journeyed to Shelby and easily outran the Coyotes in a very uneven game which gave Cut Bank the long end of a 26-0 scoreboard reading. After defeating Shelby the week before, the Conrad Cowboys stopped the Cut Bank boys 13-6. The first half found Johnson Barber and Beauty Shop 27 W.

The boys played good football and in every game displayed good sportsmanship and cooperation. For this they are worthy of the highest laurels. Band The band, an all important factor in our high school life, has been very successful under the leadership of Mr. Haburchak. It was originally organized in 1933 by Mr. Harold Howe. Regular band practice is held every Monday. Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 9:15. Each member receives V credit per year. The uniforms are purple and gold, military style. Each year the band plays for the football, basketball games and many other activities, among which this year were Open House, the Junior and Senior plays, and one game of the tournament. Every spring the band gives a concert which includes selections by the entire group, and others by different instrumental groups and solos. In past years the band has attended the Music festival at Havre, but due to the shortage of gas and tires, no festival was held this year. There are about forty members in the band and practically every instrument is represented. There aren't many members graduating so the band next year will be bigger and better than ever. Freshman Class History We, the class of 1946, entered high school full of high hopes and high ambitions. We were not disappointed except on initiation night when we began to wonder whether were were too idealistic. However, we soon realized that it measured up to all our expectations. Under the sponsorship of Miss Millspaugh and Mr. Faris we chose the following officers: President. Bobby Peterson; Vice President, Ray Davis; Secretary, Sally Rand; Treasurer. Laura Lewis; and Reporter, Shirley Johnson. Sophomore Class History As freshmen we stood the usual initiation and the torture of greenhorns. We gave the freshmen a return dance and otherwise spent an uneventful year. Proud and confident that we were able to conquer high school, we entered as sophomores to find that there were still upper-classmen who knew the ropes and answers so well that we still had a lot to learn. We qave the initiation and dance in the fall and an assembly during the winter. Playing hookey seemed to be the exciting pastime to most of us, but, not being as smart as we thought, we spent a good many hours making up time and work. Completely changed from bewildered frosh and over-confident sophomores we finished this year feeling that we had really become acquainted I 46 1 with our school, teachers, and the students. The class officers for the year were: President, Telpha Davis; and Secretary and Treasurer, Jo Ann Sauter. Junior Class History In the fall of 1940, we entered this school with a bang. All went well until initiation week came. Some told us to do this and some told us to do that. After initiation was over, we gave a return dance and then settled down to life as freshmen. We returned to school in 1941, with great ideas of what we were going to do to the freshmen. Five of the boys out of our class went in for sports, while the rest of us did the best we could on the sidelines. Guess whatl We are now juniors and upperclassmen. On April 2 we presented Spring Fever, a story of college boys and girls. On May 7. we gave a very successful prom. Our class officers for this year are Harvey Hall. President; John Sheffield. Vice President; Gloria Thelan, Secretary; and Annette Berger, Treasurer. We wish to thank Miss Wesin and Mr. Johnson, who left during the year, for their sponsorship which helped in making this year a successful one. Industrial Arts Industrial Arts as taught at Cut Bank includes the work cf the general shop for the eighth grade and wood-working and drawing for the high school students in their first and second years. Machine shop is taught to the junior and senior boys. In the various courses we aim to teach the care of the tools as well as the proper use of them. Many of the projects are used in the home and school. Along with the actual work, related information is given. Woodworking includes benchwork, cabinetmaking. and woodturning. This course should acquaint the boys with standards for judging the construction of many standard articles. In addition to interesting the boys to build certain projects, we encourage them to build their own workshops where they can construct articles of interest in their spare time. In addition to the many projects the woodwork-ina classes have completed a book cart and many cribbage boards and puzzle games for the American Red Cross. They have also made many projects for the school. Our department has been expanded by adding the sheet metal tools and additional woodworking tools. The drawing course here has practical as well as educational and cultural values. Every boy today must have at least an elementary knowledge cf the subject which is known as the language cf industry. From the courses in drawing, the students may discover their aptitudes, if any. in engineering or other technical lines. Students are also taught to read blueprints and interpret technical literature. The language of drawing has its own orthography and grammar and style, its idioms and abbreviations; and its study not only gives one the ability to express thoughts hitherto impossible but develops the constructive imagination and the habits of exact thinking.
