(22) '56 Though the largest class to ever enter the hallowed halls of C.B.H.S. (on our knees, of course), we were anxious to observe all traditions with proper respect. However, for such crimes as improper wearing apparel (girls: green shirts, men s trousers, old hats tied with green ribbons, sunglasses, one high heeled shoe and one overshoe—boys: shirts and ties backwards, knee-length trousers, nylon stocking caps and overshoes), we were subpoenaed before a kangaroo court. Though our defending attorney fought valiantly to defend us, most of us were found guilty of offending the sophomores during our week's probation. After we had served our sentences, we were paroled to a dance. Our president, Jack; vice president, Dick S.; secretary-treasurer, Barb, and reporter, Gretch, led us in preparations for a return dance the following week. Highlights of our first year included President Truman's stop here; the choir's concert for the state legislature and being invited to Belgium; the divi- sional track meet here. Gretchen won over Barb for Student Body Secretary in the spring. Robert and Ronnie C. won their letters. We chose Jim, Ronnie C., Darlene and Geraldine to head us as we pre- pared the biggest project of our sophomore year: (chuckle! chuckle!) initiation of a new crop of green frosh. Memorable events of this year included the first Homecoming celebration following a 0-0 tie with Shelby; Sergeant Ballard's supervision of choir record- ings; new band uniforms. A very popular member of our class, Marie Berezay, left us after her marriage; other members of our class transferred and some new classmates were gained. The loss of Reba Jo in an auto accident was a great shock to us all. Three of our class ran in Student Body elections; Jim was victorious over Dick S. for vice president and Barb beat Floyd Thomas for treasurer. New lettermen included Dick S., Dick M., Lee and Allen. Determining to prove our might as upperclassmen, we chose Rod, Darlene, Gretch and Juletta as our officers. Under a new principal, we began a most successful year in which our play, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, raised a new high profit of over $530 and our prom, Japanese Sandman, was one (23) of the most beautiful transformations of the gym. To prove our superiority, both boys' and girls' basketball teams won the interclass tourneys. Among class members who brought special fame to our class were cheer- leaders Barb and Gretch; Youth Club president, Jim; Boys Nation delegate, Dick M.; Boys Staters, Dick M., Dick S., Jim, Tim and Tom More; also, two delegates who didn't make it because of a mixup, Doug and Harv; and the Girls Staters, Sharon and Kay. Lettermen also included Don Hughes, Quentin, Joe Mercer, Harold, Ty and Richard. oj the Calais oj ’56 Jim and Darlene were successful candidates over Dick S. and Carole in seeking the Student Council presidency and treasurership. Remember the war of the beards that year; the Vagabond's jam sessions; working as assistants on the Live Wire; the organization of the trio, triple trio and the octette; the costuming for the play; our pride in our shiny new class rings; the junior birdman song and THAT slumber (?) party? To climax these four fabulously fun-filled years, we became seniors! That is, most of us did; some of the original members of our class are conspicuous by their absence and we have added a few; but here we are. Two Dicks, Schwingel and McRae, and Laura Mae and Marilyn led us this year. Our activities have been many; we broke our own record, adding over $600 to our treasury with Father Was a Housewife;41 our Live Wire editor, Ted, and his staff put out a twice-monthly newspaper; our Homecoming float won the prize for a 100 percent record, now that we've won it both years that the parade has been held; our Homecoming royalty were Marilyn and Tom; Mar- lene and Dennis reigned over our fluffy-skied setting for Sleighride;44 we beat Shelby by one point in four seconds to send us to State at Whitefish from which we brought back the fourth place trophy. Under the direction of editor, Dick McRae, and the staff, this 1956 WOLF has been planned with the hope that each page will recall a memory of the last C.B.H.S. days of the class of 1956. By these signs shall ye remember us: The pink carnation. Nothing is impossible to him who tries 4 (24) Pink and silver. We, the Class of '56, Feeling fine and full of tricks, Do now divide our property fair. And make you other children heir. With the hope that when we're gone Thoughts of us will linger on.

The Cut Bank Wolves showed excellent of- fensive and defensive football in their first home game of the season. They defeated Valier 27-6. The Wolves overcame a 12-7 half-time lead by the Baby Bisons to take a 27-19 win before the Harvest Festival crowd. The Cut Bank Wolves and the Choteau Bull- dogs battled to a 13-13 deadlock in a Northern Division game at Chateau. After the game there was some discussion as to the decision. Although Cut Bank outgained and outplayed the Sunburst Refiners, the Wolves went down in defeat 27-18, in their Homecoming game. Wolves got on the warpath in the second half to overcome the Indians' 7-0 lead to win 12-7 at Browning. The powerful Shelby Coyotes downed the Wolves 59-12 on a Wednesday night. The game was not as one-sided as it could have been, since the Wolves were deep in Shelby territory several times but fumbled, and lost the ball on penalties.

The Wolves conquered the Panthers 67-55. J , ... 24. Following dismissal of classes at 1:00 p. m.. a steady stream of cars were seen beading to thrill to such games as Browning's one point win over Valier and Shelby, who had drawn a bye, advancing to the finals after a hard try on the Cowboys' part to overtake them. The Wolves were behind the Bulldogs at the half, but held a four-point final margin for victory. ....... , . , 25 Conrad and Sunburst quite decisively advanced to the consolation final, in which the Cowboys were victorious. Then—we did it! Where were your feelings when Allen made the two points that tied the game at 52-all? When, with four seconds to go, the Coyotes were one point ahead and up for a free throw that was tipped to Mike and in to Allen who curved it up? When it rolled around and around the rim—and in, as the buzzer sounded? Senior players Robert. Dick, Allen, Rod and Lee accepted the trophy for the team sometime later, when things calmed down to a dull roar. Browning took the sportsmanship trophy. , , , , . . 26 The win is attributed to various things: the cheerleaders peppy new blouses, the decorating of Shasta, new bell sticks—but it's down in black and white . its true! 27. The trophy was presented to the school in a special assembly; we will take that special train to state! _ . , ...... , . , . . ., 28. Lost: one tooth.

The team is sent off royally with an enthusiastic pep assembly; it's so good that you didn't get stuck at Browning so badly that you had to come home, Wolves; it would have been very anticlimatic. 8. “Down by the station, early in the morning . . . When the train finally got here. Cut Bank cheerleaders, twirlers, pep band members and rooters overflowed two special cars. Were taken to gym in special busses barely in time for part of the second quarter, but perked the Wolves up and cheered them on to victory over Deer Lodge. Mission, St. Ignatius and Benton also won. 9. Circle, in losing to Deer Lodge, was the first team eliminated. Did you know they had part of their way paid by, and many of their supporters were from Wolf Point, who was defeated in another big upset. Anaconda Central routed the Sheepherders. The Wolves were 'way off and St. Ignatius rolled over us; Fort Benton did a similar job on Poison. 10. Poison and Cut Bank had little trouble in their morning games; however, the Wolves were against a red-hot Pirate team Saturday night and copped fourth with the bottom half of the score. Pretty good for a bunch of amateurs, though. In another one of those heartbreakers, Mission held a final 3-point lead over Benton for the state championship. 12. C.B.H.S. was host for over 200 out-of-town seniors for the Career Day program.

The Elks banquet feted scholars, leaders, basketball players and cheerleaders. Speakers Jiggs Dahlberg and Jerry Williams, M.S.U. coaches, commented on basketball “being a source of much commotion between November and March—but never quite so much as in Montana's Northern Division. Wouldn't it be deafeningly quiet if the proposed changes took place? 21. Senior boys win the interclass tourney from the sophomores; watch out for some of those young-uns next year! 22. Spring fever is in the air; so is the shot and discus. Track training is beginning. Allen and Ronnie are co-captains. 23.

Dick S. has placed as one of the most valuable students in the state. 30. This is all—for now. As freshmen first we came to school Were much perplexed by book and rule. As sophomores we were very wise Our hats increased a size. In our junior year, these facts apall: There’s more to learn; we don't know it all. In our senior year, saith the bard. We have worked (and played) hard. Now into the world we come. We've made good friends and studied—some. The saddest tale we have to tell Is when we bid these days farewell.
