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. (20)

Junior Epilogue Returning for the choosing of the cast, the Juniors were confident that their class would make a place for themselves in the theater world. 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.
