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

Text from Pages 1 - 58 of the 1944 volume:

FOREWORD AND DEDICATION The year 1944 finds our nation at war with a ruthless and savage enemy. Boys, girls, men and women of America are all doing their part to make this year, the year of final victory for the allies. Many attend school, some help by working, others do their share by serving with our armed forces. Together they form the backbone of mighty America, for each in his own separate way contributes to the defeat of the axis. To these men and women of our community who have left their homes and friends to speed the day of victory we dedicate this “Wolf of 1944.” 3it fSrmnrtam JESSE MILLER O. C. PUGERUDE LUCILLE SANDELL O.

After being put through a toughening up process given by the Primary Cadets we launched our career as air men. After a small proportion were transferred and washed out we advanced to Primary Training in 1941 when we initiated the incoming Preflight Cadets. Harvey Hall had retained his position as Cadet Captain with a revamped staff of Don Peterson as Cadet Executive Officer; Audrey Ellis, Cadet Adjutant; Don Goldriek. Cadet Pay Master; and Patty Armstrong, Cadet Public Relations Officer. We had that star athlete. Don Peterson. Others being added to the team were Dick Humble, Ervin Davis, Harvey Hall and Norman Gertzen. These brought additional glory to the C. B. H. S. training base. We thought Primary training was difficult but we soon found it was not as difficult as Basic, which we entered in September, 1942. Our cadet officers were Harvey Hall. John Sheffield, Gloria Thelen and Annette Berger. This year the cadets organized a dramatic organization and on April 2 presented a play entitled “Spring Fever.” In honor of those completing their Advanced training we sponsored a Cadet Prom. Our able math instructor, who was also our commanding officer, was transferred to a base on the coast. We finally reached the goal of our three years, being Advanced training. The dramatic organization presented a play entitled “Always in Trouble” and edited a yearbook entitled The Wolf.” The final stages of our advanced training consisted of Transitional training and we were assigned to a squadron. Our squadron commander was John Sheffield. Flight Commander Marjorie Gjertson, Squadron Adjutant Gloria Thelen. and Squadron Quartermaster Shirley Ness. Through the kindness of our administrative officers we were allowed to pay a visit to nearby Glacier Park. Through the efforts of our mothers a banquet for the graduating squadron was given. The long-awaited day arrived when the squadron after having Baccalaureate services received their diplomas, and were given a short furlough before being sent to combat duty. Due to the shortage of manpower several of the members of the squadron were transferred to the Navy. 13 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY The year is 1964. The city is a well populated place of about 50,000. As I was strolling down the street, 1 was amazed at the thirty story building, the gorgeous homes, beautiful parks and enormous skating rink. I wondered where I was and asked the first stranger walking down the street. He told me that this was Cut Bank. Montana. I didn’t believe him at first until I saw good old C. B. H. S. I walked into the school and saw Mrs. Davis who was very proud to tell me she was a grandmother. Looking into the office, I saw a gray-haired man at the desk, giving detention time to the students. At last I crowded my way up to the desk, only to find out it was Mr. Swartz. I was very glad to see him, and he told me to step in and see Mr. Davis. There he was sitting at his desk with beautiful white hair, beard, eyelashes, etc. We got to talking about the 1944 graduating class, and among the three of us, we knew what everybody was doing. Bob Anderson is still in the Navy, doing wonderful for himself. He is still a Gob however. Lorraine Barr is running a beauty parlor down in Florida. Up to this time, she has been official hair dresser for the Jivaro head hunters in South America. Annette Berger is looking for another man. Her last one left her and she needs more alimony. Harriet Borch is a cockroach exterminator. She never did like the things anyway. T. J. Brocher is working in Washington. He and the President are real pals. Ervin Davis has been sent up the river for making ten dollar bills and putting his own picture on instead of Abe Lincoln. Eleanor Delger has settled down with her fifteen children and is waiting for her husband to come home. Audrey Ellis has been rewarded for distinguished service in the Cadet Nurses Corps and now has been given her commission. Robert Engen is down in New Mexico selling jumping beans for two bits a dozen. Patsy Foster is now in New York teaching the service men how to toe dance. Ted Fowler is still in Cut Bank taking care of the skating rink. One of his newest records that he plays the most is “Wabash Cannon Ball.” Judy Fujimoto is out on a farm in West Virginia taking stretching exercises so that she can join the Waves. Vernon Fuller is now manager of the “We Fix ’Urn Garage.” So far, he has only had time to work on his own car. Louville Garske is now in the fur trading business. He is skinning skunks down by the Old Mill Stream. Norman Gertson is now coaching the football team for the Navy. So far, they haven’t won a game. Ralph Getter is fixing his Plymouth so that he can go to Mexico on bootleg gas. Don Goldrick is now in Palm Beach looking for a blonde: a brunette or redhead will do, of course. Marjorie Gjertson is head of the Loving Hearts Bureau in Spokane. She had found the right man for everybody but herself and none seem to suit her. Harvey Hall is in Chinook building a home for Lois. Other than building his house and taking care of Lois, he is doing nothing. Janet Hatch is in Florida next to Lorraine. She is head of the “Shave Your Legs and Don’t Wear Stockings” organization. Arnold Holman has gone into the Used Car business. He handles Tricycles, Bicycles, Kiddy Cars, etc. Dick Humble has a big ranch down in sunny California. He specializes in pigs, the bigger the better. Frances Linder is still at K B U learning the fundamentals of Bookkeeping and Shorthand. Lorrane Lozing has her own dressmaker shop in Chicago. She can make you anything you desire as she styles them herself. Yvonne McLean is head of the “Home Cooking Restaurant.” She serves the best home cooked meals in the United States. Shirley Ness is going from town to town, following Jack. Their home is in most anything that moves and is almost anywhere. Laura Lou Ormson is teaching piano lessons to the Hosaco Indians. They like her style of playing. Don Peterson is still coaching the “B” Squad for Mr. Faris. Corrine Reynolds is in Alaska doing interior decorating for the Eskimos. Ailean Ruetten has now dyed her hair black and is modeling for Varga. Oh! Those Varga girls. James Salansky is in Los Angeles doing research work on the Jitter-Bug. He wants them to dance like the jitterbugs did in 1944. Chester Sammons has gone west to look for gold in the Pacific ocean. Bob Saxon is the Chief Mascot in the Merchant Marine. John Sheffield is in New Orleans frying bed bugs for his supper because he is broke. Gloria Thelen is in Billings running an orphan’s home. Shirley Tucker is teaching Home Economics in the Grade School at Warm Springs. George Waggoner is in Harlem teaching the Coons the fundamentals of dancing. Hattie Wiley is teaching the Pygmies in South Africa how to Rhumba. Hattie has gone quite native herself. Wanda Wiley started to California and got a job welding at Lockheed. She is now foreman of all welders. Earl Zimmerman is president of a company manufacturing Klutch-tite false teeth, sizes 12 to 20—Prices S2.50 and up. This was the last of our class, and it certainly brought back happy memories of the Class of ’44. H CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1944, in thirty-nine complete individual parts, as we are about to leave this wonderful High School of learning with a well-trained mind and tired eyes, do hereby make our last will and testament.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We entered high school as Freshmen in the fall of ’41, and went through the usual initiation with high spirits. We gave a dance and put on an assembly and otherwise spent a very uneventful year. Coming back again in the fall of ’42 we thought we knew all of the ropes of high school, but found out later that there were many others much wiser than we. We gave the initiation and also a dance during the year. At last—Upper Classmen. This was the thought of coming back to school in ’43. During the year we gave an assembly, play and prom. The officers for the year were: Dick Baker, President; Shirley McShane, Vice President; Carol Van, Treasurer: Telpha Davis, Reporter: and Betty Gay Poore. Secretary. 16 Peggy Bailey Dick Baker LeRoy Bartow Deane Bobp Doris Broughton Kilean Burns Bently Clark May Clark Bob Cook Karl Copelan Telpha Davis June Dipple Marie Dobson Jim Fee Barbara Fisk Don Goldrick LeRov Grosser Clifford Guith Don Halverson Anita Harris Betty Lou Kraut Ann Landry Russell Maguire Anna Me Adam Wanda McGlothlln Shirley McShane Shirley Moran Pat Parker Not pictured— M.

The Sophomores initiated us during the first week of school which gave us a good start for our new routines. Our Freshman sponsors were Mr. Faris and Miss Millspaugh. In 1943 we were the Sophomores and it was our turn to give the next group of new students a suitable initiation. Some of the class members joined clubs and took part in many activities. Our sponsors were Miss Remington and Mr. Aahl. Some of the Sophomore boys were lucky enough to play basketball and football. .Next year as Juniors we hope to be better students and participate in more activities. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY On the first day of school the green freshmen began their career in the Cut Bank High School. Even though the upper classmen had looked down at us at first we were very proud to be here for we all knew that now were on our own. The first activity the Freshmen were to participate in was the initiation. sponsored by our good friends, the Sophomores. Although the Sophomores had laid it on fairly thick, it had been thoroughly enjoyed by most all the Freshmen. In return for the initiation sponsored by the Sophomores the Frosh gave their return dance. It was attended by a large number of students and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. After the initiation was over and we had settled down to the daily routine, we elected the following class officers: Bobby Smith, President; Helen Marie Kraut. Vice President; and Pat Minette, Secretary and Treasurer. Four members of the class turned out for football: Bobby Smith. Billy Hupp, Ralph Koontz and John Lane, but because of inexperience they did not make the first squad. A few freshmen turned out for basketball with Billy Hupp and Bobby Smith making the first squad. Many of the Freshmen have turned out for the Glee Club and the Band, and all are doing very well. Next year, as Sophomores, we will try hard to make it as successful as this year was under the leadership of Miss Millspaugh and Mr. Faris.
