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

Text from Pages 1 - 72 of the 1949 volume:

We, the principal actors of 1949, wish to dedicate this book to the future of the Cut Bank school; a future which is destined to bring vast changes as plans are made to construct new buildings and employ new programs of education. We wish to express our appreciation to our producers, directors, and prompters, our teachers, whose help has made possible the success of our four-year run. We, who are leaving at the end of this third act, relinquish our places to the understudies, whose development and scholastic attainments make them well fitted for the parts they will take in the future of the Cut Bank school. The staff of this splendid publication merits sincere and hearty commendation and congratulations. Let me wish each and every member of the class of ’49, the best of success. H. C. DAVIS Superintendent Each passing year will bring treasured memories to those who have worked on this annual or have attended Cut Bank High School. The pages will bring back vivid pictures of friends, their activities, and their contributions to their alma mater. N. T.

These outstanding people were chosen to represent the Senior cast in the Guild: President, Wenoa White; Vice President, Bert Van Alstine; Secretary-Treasurer, Andrew Patten; and Reporter, Dick Copelan. Since it was their last production on this stage, they outdid themselves throughout the season. On the principal play of their Junior year, “Here Comes Charlie,” they broke all previous records in regard to income and attendance. The ovation was great and “Charlie” had several curtain calls. Then the second production, “Spooky Tavern,” was another smash hit. The cast included: Lucy by Patty Keyes, Lon Hacker by Fred Rossman, Farone by Gene Goldrick, Florabell by Dorene Taylor, Joyce by Joyce Sheffield, Blackie by John Beer, Ralph by Bob Artz, Terry by Andrew Patten, Willie by Bob Haas, Bedelia by Jo Ann Cottengim, and the Ghost Woman by Doris Thomas. For the last two consecutive years the Class of ”49” has won the interclass tournament. The theme for the Senior Ball, this year, was “Slow Boat to China,” and the gym was decorated in blue and white. Then came the final scene of their four-year run, Graduation! Although it seemed sad that this was to be their last presentation on the Cut Bank High School stage, they could look forward to better parts on bigger stages. Thus they rang down the curtain on four active years in High School.

Witnessed and delivered by— MATILDA DUMWOTTLE MINERVA THROCKBOTTOM MINNIE WEEDPOLE and BONNIE BRODBOTTOM ( 15) Co whig Attractions — Pro phecy It is late in the summer of 1960. We are entering a small village nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Its name is “Tealawhoa” which to all of you foreigners, “A Place of Peace and Rest.” It seems as though a large number of the Seniors from the class of 1949 have settled here. Join us as we stroll through the streets of this fair village and greet our old friends. As you enter the village you may hear the words, ‘Stop, Go, Stop.” These are coming from a chap by the name of Bob Haas, who is the city cop. As you proceed down the village street you will pass the various places of business. First of all there is the “Bon Ton” a dress shop run by Dorothy Scurlock and her seamstress Alice Enneberg. Next door to the “Bon Ton” is the “Piano Forte Music Shop, which is run by Bert and Bob Van Alstine, who play at all funerals, weddings, and social occasions, and who are accompanied by their wives and six little daughters. Across the way from this little shop is the “Eat and Be Strong Grocery which is run by Marilyn Koontz and Dorothv McDermott. Neither of these girls are married because they had so many suitors they couldnt’ decide between them. Adjoining this building is a quaint little shop bearing the name. “We Fix You Up No Matter How Bad You Look Beauty Shop.” Wigs are at a reduction this week. This is run by Grace Ming-neau who is terrific at making you look at least ten years younger. She keeps as her able assistant Patricia Clark. Catty corner from PMs is the We Will Take You When No One Else Will Funeral Parlor” which is run bv the friendly undertakers, George Sherwin and Walter Thornton. Nice guys in spite of their profession. Going to the brighter side of life, next door to this is a little cafe where all the re-snectab’e citizens eat. This little place of business is called the “Dirty Cup.” This is run by John Beer and his wife Patty, who serve meals twice a day any way you want them. If you ere to steo into the kitchen you would see Wilbur Schaeffer whipping up one of his delicate dishes of sauerkraut and wieners. As we look on the other side of the room we see Ron-aid Jessop who is holding the position of chief bottle washer in the cafe Next to this is the establishment of the Town Hall. As we pass by who should we see coming out but Richard “two gun” Copelan who is the sheriff of the town. Following him. is his deputy David “I’m right behind you. Cope” Woodard. They are going out to investigate some stealing that has been going on out at Fred Rossman’s turkey farm. Just between you and me I think it might be the “Cut Bank Kid,” alias Don Mc-Adam and his gang. Coming back to the town we see the new telephone office that has just been built and is headed by Anne deposit a nickel nlease Ormson and her capable crew, Gloria “number please” Fugle, anti Edith “excuse ring, please Brown. Proceeding onward we decide to go in and visit the village High School where George McCabe is now the principal of this institute of higher learning. Their coach this year is Bob get in there and fight, boys Artz. Tbeir head teacher is Miss Joyce kiddies this is it. I'm cracking up” Sheffield, rown the block is the new theater building which is known as the “Gilted Cage” where famous stars flock. We look at the billboard anti see the specialties to be featured tonight. First tonight will be Doris “Oklahoma Hills” Thomas anti her horse “Dead Eye Dick.” Next are the two dancers known far and wide as Bubbles Bawdon” and Slewfoot Sather.” The main feature tonight is Wenoa “we can't all be Iturbls” White anti her rendition of “Tumbling Tumble Weeds.” Next door is the florist shop run bv Dallas “care for a flower” Bobp. Ruby and Donna Clark are his assistants who help him fashion beautiful corsages. Now we come to the clinic which is owned by Gene Goldrick who is the head doctor. Two of his most able nurses are Jo Ann Cottengim and Delores Deleer. The head nurse at the hospital is Delores Driskell. Adjoining this building is the dentist office run bv Donald “yank ’em out” Johnson anti his nurse, Mary Crouch, who charms all the patients. A patient in the hospital is Duane Jessop, who is recuperating from a broken leg which he got while skiing. Another nurse at the hospital is Georgia Ann Volkman, now married. and at whose home a famous football star is visiting by the name of Andrew Patten, we walk along we pass the Court House. We see the mayor Kenny Omsberg waving to the truancy officer. We decided to stop at the Court House and there we saw Dorene Taylor, one of the first women to be admitted to the bar. Her assistant is Norma Sherman, who is running for Senator this vear. Speaking of Senators, Bob Ready and Jimmy Kruger are Senators from our state. Bob Readv’s secretary is Joyce Wheeler, a very capable person. Leaving the Court House we see the “O. K. Garage” run by Arthur Story and Jerry Croy-mans. Across the street is the Town Library where the head librarian is Freda Poynter and her assistant is a brilliant student, Noel Tucker. And as we leave the library we spy Jo Ann Dallum in her plane making a flight out to the Lazy X Ranch owned by Flora Luchi. Now we must leave the peaceful village and go on our way. May they all live useful, happy lives.

Their first big project, which they carried out superbly, was the play entitled “Brother Goose.” It starred Bob Hall and Alice Essex. It was a great success and everyone had a lot of fun putting it on, even though it took blood and tears! Next was the Junior Prom. The gym was decorated attractively, and the seasoned actors commented on their props. So, they chalked up another hit, and began thinking of their even greater success next year. Junior Play The Junior cast presented Brother Goose after tears and sweat on the part of the class and Miss Madison. Jeff mistakes Peggy for the new maid, and Peggy, tired of selling hosiery and fond of children, agrees to stay on and help. But Lenore Hudson has just inherited a million dollars, and has commissioned Jeff to build her a house. Hy, the tomboy, hates Lenore because she is building her house on their football lot. Peggy thinks she doesn’t have a chance competing with a girl with a million, so she leaves. Then Jeff realizes how much Peggy means to him. and Hy with her football squad goes after her. Then Peggy pulls a few tricks and puts Lenore out of the running. The cast includes: Jeff, the young architect Carol, a pert junior miss .......... Wes, who is crazy about girls Hy, who is crazy about football..... Helen, the doleful housekeeper Lenore, a forceful career woman Mrs. Lulu Turner ................ Eve, a luscious southern beauty Sara, a negro cook _ ____________ An irate truck driver......... Peggy Wingle, a girl with ideas Bob Hall ........ Carol Quigley Edgar Mitch ..... Cathleen Callison Jo Ann Nussbaum Pegge Withers ........ Betty Jo Hupp ........ Betty Jo Butts .........Karen Tucker ....... Duane Harris .......... Alice Essex (19) Freshman Epilogue At the beginning of the casting in September, 1948, eighty-two Freshmen began their long climb up the ladder of success to stardom. They were hampered by jeers and grease paint administered by the other actors. Amid laughter and ridicule, they gave a review displaying their talents. They learned well their first lines, “Freshmen are the lowest things on earth, and we are Freshmen.” Following their first taste of drama, these new stage hands were honored by a dance sponsored by the Sophomores. Then, as they gained more poise and self confidence, they gave a return dance after the Fairfield, Cut Bank football game. From their ranks they chose Kenny Parrent, Sylvia Steen, Ronald LaBuff, and Eddie Argenbright to represent them in the Theater Guild. They have worked hard and completed their first year. They will return with the promise of bigger and better parts in the play cast of 1949-1950. Sophomore Epilogue Having been graduated to the position of understudies, the Sophomores entered Cut Bank High School with more self confidence and premises of better roles in this year’s run. They began as make up artists and tested their skill on the Freshmen. Many of their performers turned out for athletics in the hopes that they would receive Herculean parts. Seven received letter awards this year. Their representatives to the Theater Guild were: president. Dan Stuart: vice president, Eddie Clark; secretary-treasurer, Jeanie Jensen: and reporter, Bob Arras. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Torgerson and Mr. Puckett, they gave a dance after the Freshman initiation. They too, next year, will put on their own play, and they will know that feeling of accomplishment which comes of a job well done.

The officers for the year were: president, Wenoa White: vice president, Noel Tucker; secretary-treasurer, Carol Ann Quigley; reporter, No-rene Goldrick; parliamentarian, Margaret McDermott; historian. Mary Martin; and recreation leader, Betty Jo Hupp. They attended the District FHA meeting in Shelby, in October, and came back with many new ideas and purposes. On February 9, they initiated twenty-six new members into Theta Epsilon, with the hope that they would derive the enjoyment and good fellowship from the chapter as the older members have. The T.E. held their annual St. Patrick’s day dance, cabaret style, on Friday. March 18. Everyone enjoyed himself. which was evident by the number of couples dancing. As an international project, they adopted a German Home Economics Class. To them, they sent a large box of supplies, and wrote letters. It is hoped that this gesture will bring better relations between the two countries. Glee Club This year’s Glee Club is composed of fifty-two members. They are under the direction of Mr. Skones, who has unselfishly given of his time and effort throughout the year. To start off in the right key, they selected four outstanding members as their officers. They are: president, Joyce Sheffield; vice president, Frank Young; librarian, Phyllis Eide; reporter. Kenny Sammons. They gave a cantata for the annual Christmas Program, and wore gowns, which added to the solemnity. In the spring the Glee Club participated in a joint concert with the band, in which they offered a variety of numbers. They also attended the district and state festivals. From the chorus, Mr. Skones selected eight boys for a male octette. They are Bob Artz, Norman Crofford, Don Johnson, Bert Van Alstine, Keith Seidensticker, Bob Crumley, Bob Van Alstine and Kenny Sammons. They participated in the Spring Concert, Amateur Contest. District and State Festivals, and many social functions. (31 ) Latin Club Under the supervision of their new instructor, Mr. Speich, the Latin Club has prospered this year. To prove this, they all have boasted very sharp Latin Club pins. They elected these officers: president, Carol Quigley; vice president, Mary Martin; secretary-treasurer, Wenoa White; and reporter, Peggy Withers. They attended the annual Latin-Spanish picnic at which the friendly rivalry was present. Just friendly, you understand, but the aqua was a temptation and several unfortunate members were, shall we say, helped in. They gave a dance after the Choteau football game, which was a success. They also gave an April Fool’s dance. No one came, the ticket sellers said the music was atrocious, and the floor show was just plain awful. April Fool! It was all a big joke! Really, it was lots of fun. Another achievement was the Care package they sent to Italy. The members regretfully leave the work and good times they have had. They extend their best wishes to those who form next year’s club. Spanish Club This year’s “Espanol Club,” numbering all of twelve students, started out the year by electing the following officers: president, Joyce Sheffield: vice president, George McCabe; secretary-treasurer, Andrew Patten, reporter, Bob Artz. They selected a very appropriate name. “Los Enamora-dos” (the lovesick), at the first regular meeting. They have had frequent business meetings this year and have had same parties. The club sponsored a very successful dance after the St. Mary’s football game in October. A banquet, with appetizing food, was held in November at the Vet’s Club. They had the annual spring picnic which was held in May. A very different assembly was given; a one-act play entitled “Leave It to Doyle.” At this time the Spanish Club would like to extend their best wishes to Mr. Tabaracci, their teacher, who has had to put up with them for two years, and who has been a wonderful teacher in all senses of the word. They didn’t know how valuable he was until his mishap and he was absent three weeks. This is their last proclamation. So be it. Buenos Dias. Amigos!

The O.A.R., “Order of Artistic Riters,” was organized in 1945 and has been an active club ever since. Under the sponsorship of Miss Agnes Karlberg. the O.A.R. has given several parties and a dance. On December 17, 1948. the club gave an assembly, the theme being a store at Christmas time, in which every member participated. The Shorthand I students were initiated into the club at a picnic given in the spring. The motto is—“Make Every Stroke Count, and the colors are—“Blue and Yellow.” The officers are: President ... Anne Ormson Vice President ................ Freda Poynter Secretary-Treasurer Ruby Clark Reporter ........................... Dorothy Scurlock Cj. a. a. The Girls' Athletic Association was active, as usual, this year. The officers were: president, Dorene Taylor; vice president, Betty Jo Hupp; secretary-treasurer, Yvonne Bawdon; reporter, Phyllis Eide; and manager, Loris Micken. The annual G.A.A. basketball tournament was played with the Sophomores coming out on top, and the Juniors receiving second place. The Freshmen and the Seniors took third and fourth places respectively. Several girls earned their C letters by obtaining the required 1,000 points. The following girls received letters this year: Loris Micken. Jo Ann Nussbaum. Georgia Ann Volkman, Cathleen Callison, and Noel Tucker. This organization has proved lots of fun and good recreation with the aid of their sponsor. Miss Agnes Karlberg. and Mrs. Smith, the physical education teacher. (35) Debate Club The Debate Club, under the sponsorship of Mr. Tabaracci, started their second year as a school activity by election of the following officers: president, Bob Hall; vice president. Dorene Taylor; secretary-treasurer, Peggy Withers. The first annual school declamation contest was held in February. Bob Hall and Joyce Sheffield won first and second respectively in oratorical. and Harold Howard and Joan Shelby won in the humorous division. Two debate teams were organized and held numerous practice debates with Shelby, Valier. and Havre. The debate teams, with the four top deelaimers. entered district competition the first of May. The best entered the state contests. May 12, 13, and 14. This year, five girls have earned the privilege of belonging to the Girls’ C Club. They were: Georgia Ann Volkman, Noel Tucker, Cathleen Callison, Loris Micken, and Jo Ann Nussbaum. To obtain their letters, they must accumulate at least 1,000 points by taking part in various sports. This club is comparatively small, and it is hoped that more girls will participate in this activity. Pep Squad started the year off with a big bang by electing their officers. They were Connie Larsen, president: Pat Cunningham, vice president; Jo Ann Dallum. secretary-treasurer: and Yvonne Bawdon, reporter. The Pep Squad is under the direction of Miss Karlberg.

They had eight twirlers back from last year and as the term progressed, four more were added. They made their first public appearance at the Shelby-Cut Bank basketball game. During the tournament, eight of the twirlers put on a very entertaining performance, with their lighted baton as a special feature. They attended the annual band festival at the conclusion of the term. After looking back on the year’s activities, they realized they had finished another year of progress, and an enjoyable one as well. Cheerleaders The Student Body started off their year by electing cheerleaders. After numerous tryouts, the following were elected, Jeanie Jensen, Cheer Queen; Betty Lou Cunningham, and Connie Larson. Connie was replaced just before tournament by Barbara Smith. These girls did an outstanding job of leading the yells. Thanks are extended by the entire student body. Band History The Cut Bank Hgh School Band has had a very prosperous year under their new director, Mr. Maurice Skones. They have played for football and basketball games, assemblies, and civic programs. They also participated in the District Tournament at Shelby and the Division Tournament at Havre. Their officers are: president, George McCabe; vice president. Carol Ann Quigley; secretary-treasurer. Bob Haas; reporter, Bob Arras, and librarian, Cathleen Callison. There are seven Seniors who will be leaving the band, who are George McCabe, Marilyn Koontz. Jimmy Kruger, Delores Delgar. Bob Haas. Ronald Jessop, and Ruby Clark. They will be missed but the younger ones will do a very good job of replacing them. (41 ) Live Wire Following the usual school tradition, the Live Wire staff was chosen. George McCabe was elected editor, who in turn picked his assistants, Joyce Sheffield, Bob Artz, and Carol Quigiey. Their chief censor was Mr. Speich. The Live Wire was published every three weeks, and it was the highlight of the day when the Live Wires were given out. It contained the news and gossip of students, school activities, and a few jokes. Reporters could be seen at all social functions, rushing around and trying to get all the news for their pages. The last issue of the Live Wire was put out by the Juniors, and they did a very good job. C” Club Early this year, under the sponsorship of Coach DeGroot, the letter-man’s club was organized with several returning lettermen from last year. The following officers were elected: president, Kenny Omsberg; vice president, Dick Copelan; secretary-treasurer, Andrew Patten. The “C” Club sponsored a dance in January after the Shelby basketball game, and patrolled the gym during all the games and at the A.A.U. tournament. Eleven new members were initiated into the club at an initiation held in the gym. In order to make a letter, a boy must play a specified amount of quarters in football or in basketball, and must account for a certain number of points in track meets. The annual spring picnic and initiation were held at the end of school. ( 42 ) LIVE WIRE Minor Changes in the Curriculum Mark Final Semester I I KYKODY HACK TO EVERYDAY LIFE (.

Managers (48) Basketball The Wolves, this year, had a very successful season with an enviable season record of nineteen wins and four losses. Although suffering much sickness and injuries during the regular season, the Wolves managed to return their district crown which they won in 1948. This team will go down in the minds of the townspeople as the “Fightingest” team we ever had. Under the able tutorage of their very popular coach. Bill “Willie” DeGroot, they displayed a fast, hard-fought brand of ball throughout the whole season. The loss of Ken Omsberg, as a result of a serious eye injury late in the season, greatly weakened them in their quest for the divisional crown.

(49) Football The Cut Bank Wolves had a very fine football season this year, being undefeated, and winning the Northern Divisional crown for the second time in the last three years. This year’s team was a big, fast, well-balanced club that displayed fine teamwork throughout the whole season. There were four seniors and one junior selected on the all-divisional first team, they are as follows: Patten, senior, center: Goldrick, senior, end; Artz, senior, quarterback; McCabe, senior, alternate tackle; Erwin, junior, alternate fullback. The Wolves lose ten seniors this year, but under the able tutorage of their new coach, Mr. DeGroot, and with ten lettermen returning, promise to have another leading contender for the crown.
