History This little band of pilgrims journeying to what we thought was an unobtainable height began their bewildered career as freshmen four long hard years ago 52 strong, with Bob Smith, President; Helen Marie Kraut, Vice President, and Pat Minette, Secretary-Treasurer. After being initiated, kicked around, looked down on, and loving every minute of it the whole year, we finally got to be Sophomores. After an uneventful Sophomore year during which our President was Paul Webb and during which we presented a typically Sophomore assembly we at last entered the realm of upperclassmen. Our President was Ralph Koontz, Vice President, Betty Overcash. The Junior Play, Captain Apple Jack, was presented April 5th. It was quite a success. Ah! At last we are Seniors. (!!!!) 45 strong, including two veterans Jim Wilson and LeRoy Grosser. The Senior Play was One Mad Night, which was a huge success. We also gave a Senior Ball with a candy cane motif. This last year of ours will always be one of our fondest memories. Senior Play On November 22, 1946 the Senior class finally pronounced their new creation, One Mad Night ready for presentation. Take it from Mr. Barrett, who directed, it was a creation. At least nothing like it happened in the book. Gary Snyder and Betty Lou Brown took the leads. Pat Minette, Bob Watkins, Bob Kullberg, Ralph Koontz, Bill Hupp, Dorothy Eide, Pat Lewis, Martha Larsen, Kenny Petersen, Helen Marie Kraut, Bette Bakke, and Betty Overcash completed the cast of the mystery comedy.

Juniors We, the Junior Class, entered High School in '44. Bob Johnson was our class president. We had one letterman. In 1945 we did the initiating and gave the Frosh a dance. This year we elected Glenn Freeman as President, and found five boys winning letters in sports. The Junior Class officers were Jack Davis, President; Alice Mary Johnson, Vice President; Helen Ebert, Secretary-Treasurer, and Bob Johnson, Reporter. We had fifteen lettermen of those who took part in sports. Our Junior play, Every Family Has One, was presented on April 11. Those who acted were Helen Ebert, Glenn Freeman, Denneth Dvergsten, Billy Brown, Joanne Mueller, Dawn Rougle, Betty Carlson, Helen Jane Arras, Jean Hamilton, Jack O'Day, Joan Werner, and Gerald Bartow. On the 3rd of May, we held our Junior Prom which was attended by students and alumni. Next year is our last and because of our added experience we hope to make it the best. Sophomores We, the Sophomores, began our career as Freshmen in Cut Bank High School in '45. Donald Johnson was elected as our President, and one boy, Bob Artz, received a letter in sports. We began our second year of High School with a happy revenge on the little Frosh and honored them with a dance. Our class officers were Andy Patten, President; Bob Van Alstine, Vice President; Bert Van Alstine, Secretary, and Dorene Taylor, Reporter. Freshmen We, the Freshmen, entered our high school career with lipstick faces and much bowing to the upperclassmen. The Sophomores were nice, though, and gave us a dance after the initiation. We responded with the annual Freshman Return Dance. Our officers were Jack Moore, President; Tommy Minette, Vice President; Don LaGrand, Secretary-Treasurer, and Bobby Hall, Reporter. ( 18)
