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 .............................

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. ( 15 )
