Senior cl ass History Sixty-five eager greenhorns entered Cut Bank High School in 1945, their first activity being the Frosh initiation and dance, which was given by the Sophomores. We elected Bob Johnson class president, and one of our members. Jack Davis, made the basketball team. With a little more confidence, we walked into C. B. H. S. as Sophomores. Beginning the year, we administered the initiation to our successors. Glen Freeman was elected president and the class was well represented in most fields. Proudly we walked into our positions as Juniors and took over the responsibilities of upper classmen. We took part in many extra-curricular activities. Jack Davis was chosen class president with Alice Johnson, vice president. Many boys won letters in football and basketball. “Every Family Has One” was presented as the class play, proving to be very successful. We made it, and now we enter Cut Bank High School as high and mighty Seniors. We elected Alice Mary Johnson as president, Dora Lee Hall as vice president, Fred Gill as secretary-treasurer, Denny Collier as reporter. Other offices filled by Seniors were: Jack O’Day as editor of the Live Wire, and Joanne Mueller as annual editor; Student Council president, Jack O’Day; Commercial president. Helen Ebert; G. A. A. president, Patty Perry; Pep Squad, Joan Werner; Glee Club president, Betty Carlson; Cheer Queen, Dora Lee Hall; Drum Majorette, Dorla Eby. We have many boys who earned medals and letters in football and basketball. They are: Jack Davis, Vaughn Moore, Gerald Bartow, Don Rovereit, Bill Brown, Jack O’Day, Jim Ellis, Fred Gill, Bill Jones, Herb Williamson, Bill Smith, Dan Henderson and Raymond Jacobsen. The Senior play was “A High School Mystery” with a cast of twelve Seniors. With this as our history, the class of ’48 leaves very excited but with a heavy heart for the friends we leave behind in C. B. H. S. Se nior pi av The curtain went up for the Senior play, “The High School Mystery,” on December 8, 1947. It was a different type of play than had ever been tried in this school, as it was a play within a play, and part of the actors were in the audience. The characters were: Lita, the heroine........................ 1 Alice Mary Johnson Herbert, Lita’s supposed father ............ Kenneth Kennedy Jenny, the maid................................. Dawn Rougle Emma, Lita’s supposed aunt....................... Joan Werner Earl, Lita s brother .............................. Jack O’Day Paul, the villain ............................. Gerald Bartow Jack Howard, playwrite............................ Bill Jones Jason Shaw, sheriff ............................ Vaughn Moore Mrs. Bartow Betty Carlson Play Director ....... Helen Jane Arras Assistant Play Director......................... Laverna Owen Stage Manager Bill Brown Under Mr. Swanberg’s direction the play went over very well. The committees also did a very good job in making the play a success.

Witnessed by: ESMERALDA MATILDA OPHELIA ( to) Prophecy Since things were getting rather dull around the old town, my friend and I decided to make a check of our old schoolmates. The year being 1958, we hailed a winged taxi and went to the city airport to hire a jet propelled plane to take us around the world and see some of our old friends. After asking for a pilot we were ushered into a little room in which we waited a few minutes and finally we saw a handsome pilot coming our way. When he got closer we realized it was Bill Smith and that he would take us on our journey around the world. Landing in the state of California, we left the airport in a taxi to make a scouting tour. Our first stop was at Stanford University, where we found Gerald Bartow coaching the football team there. Our next stop was in Hollywood, where the flashing billboards brought these words to our eyes: “See the ‘Jones Follies, presented by Bill Jones. Bigger and Better than ZiegfiekTs.” While visiting one of the studios we saw Jack O’Day. He Is now playing Irish roles in the movies and has a greater popularity than Dennis Morgan ever had. We also saw Herb Williamson, who is the proprietor of Herb’s Beauty Salon (sponsored by Toni Home Permanents) on Hollywood boulevard. We left Hollywood to go to Los Angeles, where we found Betty Fugle trying to perfect a striped paint for barber poles. Since our taxi was getting low on gas. we drove into a garage and who should we find owned the garage but Jim Kills He Is the Buick salesman; however, he does not own a Buick yet. Then we motored to the University of Southern California. Vaughn Moore is the basketball coach there. So far they haven’t won a game. Bill picked us up at the university and flew us to Kansas City. While shopping in the five and dime store, we met Laverne Owen. We learned that she is national supervisor of Future Homemakers of America Association. From Kansas City we flew to Chicago. As we were walking in downtown Chicago we met Dorla Eby. She informed us that she is president of the Hippy Happy Club. Dorla told us that Dave Rigney is also in that city. He is a famous criminal lawyer. She also told us that Danny Henderson is president of the now famous Bull Durham Manufacturing Company. From Chicago we went to Texas. At Dallas we saw none other than Helen Jane Arras operating a nursery school. She was very happy with all the little kiddies. We left Texas and headed for Philadelphia. Bill, who stayed at the Y.M.C.A.. told us that Don Otterstetter was the physical Instructor there. We visited an historical museum there and who should we find but Dorothy Butts writing a history book, minus dates. In the evening we went to a concert presented by the Philadelphia Philharmonic orchestra. In which Don Crofford is the head violinist. Leaving Philadelphia we went to New York, the city of skyscrapers and bright lights. There we found Alice Mary Johnson, now a leading engineer, building a new Brooklyn Bridge. We went to the Stork Club for a night of entertainment and much to our surprise and delight. Dora Lee Hall is the hat check girl there. Among the crowd we saw Helen Kbert and Jean Hamilton. Helen is the author of a gag magazine entitled “Laugh or I’ll Kill You,” and Jean is the head of a lonely Heart’s Club. We left New York to see the sunny south and the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. At the Mardi Gras we met Kenneth Kennedy, who is raising cotton on a huge plantation. Next we went to France. Our first stop was naturally Paris. We found Betty Carlson designing clothes and Alice Eckle.v modeling them for her. Joanne Mueller has a Beauty Salon for Dogs on the Rue de la Paix. We also saw Raymond Usery, who is still trying to figure out what holds up strapless evening gowns. From France we went to the Alps in Switzerland. We heard a weird sound which we later found to be Jack English still calling cows. Our next stop was Russia. In Moscow we met Shirlie and Rosalie Peterson and Mary Lou Essex. Shirlie and Rosalie are painting murals in the Kremlin and Mary Lou is Secretary for the Russian Ambassador. From Russia we went to Zululami in Africa, where we found I orraine Klesser, a missionary to the Zulus. She has finally convinced the natives that civilization isn’t so bad after all. China was the next stop. In Chungking we found Lucille Mingneau, who is a used rickshaw dealer. We also ran into Gerry Atkinson, who is operating a home for cats and dogs. We went to Arabia from China and there we found Calvin DeZort and Don Fugle operating a camel ranch in the desert. From Arabia we went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Bill Brown Is down there, looking over the “facts and figures.” Our next stop was Argentina. Who should we find there but Joyce Romsa, who is farming on the Pampas. We returned to the United States and went to Seattle. While there we learned that two of our former school mates. Fred Gill and Don Rovreit, were going to participate in the Olympics. Fred is a motorcycle stuntsman and Don is going to run the mile. “Good luck to you.” We also saw Ellis Palmer in Seattle with Barnum anti Bailey’s Circus. He has the world’s only trained flea show. Dawn Rougle and Duane Reisch were there also. Duane is still working for Safeway and trying to support Dawn. Since we still had not found everybody in our class we decided to go back to the old home town which now has a population of 80,000. We went to the High School first and in the office we saw Jack Davis, who is now Superintendent. He told us that Cut Bank had Just built a new Gym and that Russell Bingham was going to paint it. Driving down Main Street we noticed that Jay’s Union Service was now Denny’s Union Service. Sure enough it was Denny Collier. Bob Johnson has now taken over Campbell’s position as the largest wheat grower in the world and Jim Miller is married to Georgia Ann and is now operating the Cut Bank Hide and Fur. Don Werner owns the Werner Machine Shop, and his sister, Joan, is happily married to Bob and the mother of three bouncing baby boys, (triplets) with blonde hair and blue eyes. Colleen now owns the Point and has curb service all year ’round. Dean Young is still trying to trade Norma Rae to Jim Kruger for his Dodge. Mary DeZort is teaching the Freshmen the art of playing hookey. Patty Perry owns Perry Motors, which is now selling Chevrolets. Jack told us that Sidney House had taken over the taxi in Browning. Clara Mueller is the head nurse in Warm Springs, and that Raymond Jacobsen was instructing the inmates at Deer Lodge in leather tooling. ( 17 ) Junior Class History Three years ago 76 bright, cheerful individuals mounted the steps of good old Cut Bank High and began the long. hard, climb upward. At first the going was a little rugged with initiation, but having stalwart hearts, we survived! We elected Donald Johnson as our president and had one letterman, Bob Artz. Next year was much better as we did the initiating. We elected Andrew Patten as our president, and as our Sophomore year ended we had one thought, “Just think, only two more years.” As Juniors we elected as our officers: Bob Van Alstine, president; George McCabe, vice president; Tommy Dickerson, secretary-treasurer; Wenoa White, reporter. We gave a play which was called “Here Comes Charlie,” and also sponsored the prom. As our Junior year draws to a close we wonder how three years could have gone so fast and we look forward to our Senior year with great expectations. Junior Play The Junior class presented their masterpiece after blood, tears and sweat on the part of the whole class and Mr. Tabaracci. Our interpretation of “Here Comes Charlie” was given on April f). The cast of the successful three-act farce comedy was as follows: Norah, the Irish maid Joyce Sheffield Tim McGrill, Norah’s boyfriend ................. Andrew Patten Mrs. Fanny Farnham, Larry’s aunt............... Doreen Taylor Larry Elliot, leading man .......................... Bob Artz Ted, Larry’s college pal George McCabe Vivian, Larry’s fiancee Patty Keyes Uncle Aleck, Charlie’s friend Bob Haas Charlie, heroine -...............................

After the initiation, which we all managed to survive, the greenness wore off and we were ready to take part in all the activities of C. B. H. S. We began our second year of high school in the traditional way, by initiating the Freshmen. We then elected our class officers which were: Tom Erwin, president: Chuck Dallum, vice president; Mary Ann Martin, secretary, and Alice Essex, reporter. (23) Fresl iman Class History The Freshmen of ’48 entered in the traditional humiliating manner with much lipstick and a little bit of good wholesome (?) hiking. In spite of it all we had a good time at the dance given by the Sophomores after initiation and also at the return dance. Our officers are: Pete Armstrong, president; Vernon Anderson, vice president; Delores Robinson, secretary-treasurer, and Dick Noble, reporter.

The Glee Club put on their first performance by singing at Open House. The numbers they sang were “April Showers” and “Barcarolle.” The A Cappella group sang between acts at the Senior play. Featuring Christmas carols, the Glee Club gave its annual assembly on December 19. They sang a few numbers at Baccalaureate, and the Senior girls in Glee Club sang for graduation. El Club de Temptacion, (the club of temptation), Spanish Club for short, was under the direction of Mr. Tabaracci this year. Their chief purpose was to have fun and to make people think they worked! Their assembly was “Fiesta Time in Merida, Mexico.” They gave a dance after the Shelby football game, took part in the Pan American Day program, gave a Christmas party, and a picnic. Oh yes, they had a birthday party for “Tabby,” too. The officers were: president, Joanne Mueller; vice president, Bob Artz; secretary-treasurer, Betty Jo Hupp; reporter, Joyce Sheffield.

We gave a “Sock Dance” after the Cut Bank-Conrad football game, decorated the gym for the Firemen’s Ball, and have had several parties. We are also planning a banquet in the spring. We had a lot of fun and are looking forward to even more next year. ( 33 ) Debate Club The Debate Club was started under the direction of Mr. Tabaracci.

Closing our debate year was a banquet held in the latter part of May, which featured many different types of speaking. Commercia l cl ub The members of Shorthand II decided, shortly before Christmas vacation, to start a club of their own. They selected Helen Ebert as president; Gerry Atkinson, vice president; Patty Perry, secretary-treasurer, and Joan Werner, reporter. They have had several parties which proved very successful. Their club sponsor is Miss Karlberg and at this time they would like to extend their thanks to her for the help and cooperation she has given them.

We had six of the twirlers back from last year and as tournament time approached, six worthy “Frosh” joined our group, proving themselves to be a beneficial addition to our twirling squad. Our activities began this term with the first six twirlers performing during the half of the Browning-Cut Bank basketball game. During the tournament our full squad of twelve twirlers gave a drill, consisting of the formation of letters which represented each team in the tournament. We went to Havre on May 8 for the annual band festival, at the conclusion of which we realized that again another successful year of twirling had come to an end.

The only conference team to cross the Wolves’ goal line was the Choteau Bulldogs. The Cut Bank eleven scored 86 points to the opponents’ 14. These are conference games only.

Jack Davis and Fred Gill, ends; Bill Brown, tackle; Jack O’Day and Bill Smith, guards; Hay Jacobson, center; Gerry Bartow, Herbie Williamson, Dan Henderson and Bill Jones, backs.
