SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1940 sixty-three Cadets entered the service of Cut Bank High to begin their Preflight training and after which Harvey Hall was appointed Cadet Captain; John Sheffield, Cadet Executive Officer; Annette Berger as Cadet Adjutant; Shirley Ness, Cadet Pay Master; and Janet Hatch as Cadet Public Relations Officer. 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
