A summary of Act 1: The curtain arises to disclose twenty-four timid Freshmen enter- ing the assembly of Drummond High School, awed by their new surround- ings and the maturity ol' their upper classmen. Tony Cunming takes the lead as class president and the Act gets underway with Advisor Sheets directing.' Essie Stinger adds- pep to the act by taking the role of cheer leader. Into the act comes the Sophomore class to add humor with the initiation. The grand climax of the initiation scene comes when the Senior Class holds Kangaroo Court” and the Freshmen all prove that they are exceptionally good sports. The element of tragedy in Act I occurs as the poor Freshmen trudge up and down the iill in the process of white washing the D . One member of the cast, Stanley Sorenson, leaves the stage dur- ing the first Act and does not return throughout the entire play. The curtain comes down for a brief interval while the cast re- cuperates before Act II begins. Act II Scene: Drummond High School Time: September, 1943 - May, 1944 With bhe beginning of Act II, the cast of twenty-three troop on to the stage with a great deal more confidence than it had in’ the preceding act. Tony Cunning again takes the leading role snd Miss Cole directs. Evelyn Wight capably takes her part as cheer leader. The main scene of Act II is the comedy scene of Initiation. •The actors seem much more enthusiastic over the prospect in this act and use a great deal of ingenuity in worrying the helpless Freshmen. During Act II, another actor leaves the stage. Tony Cumming, the leading mar is called off to play a greater role in a far great- er drama, that of World War II. He takes an important part in this new play und as a result receives an Honorary Citation from the Pres- ident . The curtain comes down leaving the twenty-two members of the cast glad to see the end of Act II, but looking forward to their prospective parts in Act III. Act III Scene: Drummond High School Time: September, 1944 - May, 1945 The curtain is raised to disclose only nineteen members of the original cast left, they are very conscious of the absence of Essie Stinger, Helen Ingalls and Arthur Thompson who have joined different troops during the Intermission. The leading man in Act III is Ted Hansen. This act involves the actors Ln a variety of social activities, under the direction of Miss Hawkins. The Junior Prom is the main scene with a beauti- fully decorated setting in pastel colors and a grand display of bright formals. Another important scene being the Jmior-Senior Banquet with its attractively arranged tables and humorous program. A carnival always adds color and life to any Act and the players were especially active and successful in their cart of the carnival In Act III. It is during Act III that the cast Is unfortunate enough to lose Emery 3runnett, Beverly Norris and Keith Graybeal. Also, John Cor.n is gaven a part in a larger and greater play with a Navy set- ting. At the close of Act III, the entire cast receive individual awards ln the form of rings. Act IV Scene: Drummond High School Time: September, 1945 - Kay, 1946 The curtain comes up for the fourth and final time to disclose fifteen members of the original cast, plus one new member, Danny Tinnon from Tennessee who has joinec the group during the intermis- sion . Ted Hansen is again given the leading role and Act IV com- mences under the direction of Supt. Leach. Before continuing with the scenes of the act, there are two members who should be given special mention, Bob Beavers becomes Student Body President and Evelyn Wight, Student Body Secretary and Treasurer. The Senior Ball becomes the main social scene of Act IV, and a very entertaining scene it is. It is during Act IV that an element of romance enters the play when one of the cast is married. Ellen Marie 3aker becomes Mrs. Charles Miller. Her new name does r.ot interfere with her acting and she continues to the end of the play. Maurice Bone joins the drama during the las'- half, after completing his part in the Navy. The actors help out considerably In the activities throughout, but most of the social activities ore given in their honor and they are grateful to the Junior Class for making such an enjoyable and entertaining affair of this Inst act. The grand climax of the entire play arrives at the close of Act IV, when the seventeen actors don their costumes of caps and gowns to receive their diplomas for the comendatory ability they have shown in the enactment of the preceding drama. So ends one important play in the lives of the Drummond High School Seniors of 46. In bidding goodby we quote a famous Shakes- pearean line, “Parting is such sweet sorrow”. CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1946, of the City of Drummond and the State of Montana, do hereby declare this to be our lost Will and Testament. Upon our departure from this institution we wish the fol- lowing Instructions carried out. To Mr. Leach we bequeath a supply of gray hairs to add to his present accumulation acquired since our enrollment. To the Junior Class we bequeath our winning ways with the faculty and the outstanding examples we have set by ourvast surmount of ambition and astonishing quantity of brain3. r To the Sophomore Class we bequeath our back debts, our crepe paper left over from the Junior Prom, and the plausible and implausible excuses we have used for the past four years. To the Freshman Class, enough courage to face the next four years. And they will surely need all the fortitude we con bequeath them. To Lowell Brad3haw, Bob bequeaths his Casanova characteris- tics” and master mind”. To Ann, Phyllis Johnson bequeaths her beautiful contralto voice to be used in Glee Club. To the whole student body, Ted bequeaths his good looks, pleas- ing personality, laziness, and magnificent disposition. To Marie Parker, Ellen Miller bequeaths her sunny smile and her ability to play basketball; To Kiss Hawkins, a stipulated sum with which to buy gum, a legacy of one hundred dollars to .pay a woman to clean the li- brary, and a gradebook with new and better grades in it. To irrepressible Dan Bradshaw, Gwendolyn 0l3on bequeaths her sober self control, which no doubt he will find useful upon occasions. Jean Furman bequeaths her sophisticated manner to Billie Iyens Phyllis Lorensen bequeaths her poise and reserve to Clarice Jenkins as a balance for her surplus exhuberance. Nina Fraser bequeaths her ability to stay thin to HelenKanley who is ever longing to lose a few pounds. Estella bequeaths her ability to concentrate and study to Jim Kelley who we believe could use considerable concentration. To Kr.Cuthbert we bequeath the loving memory of an exit standing diligent Sociology Class. We hope that the memory of this class will linger long In his dreams. To Mrs. Allen, we leave the hope that never again will she have the combination of Senior and Freshman in the same class. Margaret bequeaths her low sweet voice and quiet' manners to Jean Bissonette who perhaps could use them. Dan Tinnon bequeaths his ’’Southern Drawl” to Murray whose de- light is to see Ann swoon. Evelyn bequeaths her instinct for collecting class rings to Gerry McCormick. Nadine bequeaths her dramatic ability and her famous last line, ’’You're not telling me anything”, to Wilda Robinson. Leonard bequeaths his skill in gum chewing to Clifford V ilson that he too may achieve success in fooling the faculty while exercising his jaws. To his pal Tony, Maurice passes on the torch which together they brought back to good old DHS in the spring of '46. To Arlene Olsen, Ila Bissonette bequeaths her English Work- book with all sorts and sizes of grades. Florence Pace leaves her extensive vocabulary to Emmett Weaver 90 that he can eventually acquire and A” in English.

Seated as guests were the Seniors and the high school faculty together with the Juniors and their sponsor Mr. Cuthbert, who had carried out a Western motif most cleverly in pi'rce cards, table decorations, menus, and programs. Toast Master Two Gun Bradshaw's Welcome brought a fitting Response from Tender.oot Hansen, and Trail Blazer Olsen proph- esied the trail those westerners branded 46 would follow once the round-up was over. 3uckaroo Wight delivered the 46ers' Last 7711 1 and Testament. Straw Boss Cuthbert issued Trail Orders, and foreman Leach set the goal for this Long Range Trail. Jun i O T from-ens de Beautifully decorated by the Junior Class, the gymnasium of D.H.S. was transformed into a delightful setting for their Formal Annual Prom given the evening of April thirteenth to honor the seventeen nineteen forty-six graduates. “ The rrund cromenade began at ten o'clock and was led by the Junior President and Vice-President, Dan Bradshaw and Clarice Jenkins. Second in line were Senior President and Vice President, Ted Hansen and Margaret McCrackin,followed in turn by Superinten- dent and Mrs. Leach, Junior Class Advisor Mr. Cuthbert and partner, and all the couples of the Senior and Junior classes.

The several projects carried out this year have been benef- icent in character. At a Friday night working party in the English room, scrapbooks already started were completed and sent to the children in the Shodair Hospital at Helena for Christmas, A very successful clothing drive was also put over and the clothes, donated and packed by the girls, were sent to those who were needy at the Montana State Training School at Boulder. To the Orphan s Home in Twin Bridges, the Drunmettes sent a large collection of Christmas and other special day cards, which the children there used in making scrapbooks. After doing for others, the girls completed a project which gave each an attractive lapel pin. Making these pins was really fun. The Drunmettes also contributed to the March of Dimes . GIRLS' ATHLETICS The Girls Athletic Organization, under the direction of Miss Hawkins for the past two years, is active again this year. The girls meet at the Gym once a week and play basketball, volleyball, badmitton, and other games. The organization of 1945 formed a girls basketball squad consisting of the high school girls. They competed against the seventh and eighth grade girls and enjoyed two exciting games with them. CARNIVAL The most gala event of the year in Drummona High School is the annual Carnival. Iftere is great confusion and excitement connected with the Carnival and, incidentally, during that week, the teachers are nruch more lenient in their assignments. Each class draws for the concessions for which they are responsible. They must build the booths, decorate them, and best of all, on the opening night, take In the money and distribute the prizes. The D.H.S. Carnival is the chief money making project of the whole school year and the returns for the last few years have been very gratifying, with this year s the best of all. Students have always looked forward to the Carnival with great enthusiasm, and after it is over each autumn,all settle down to their studies with renewed vigor. GLEE CLUB The girls' glee club of D.H.S. was under the direction of Mrs. Cy Corlett this year. Twice 9 week in the seventh period the girls gathered for an hour of singing. On April 5th the glee club gave a concert in connection with- ers. Dee Corlett s piano recital. Tnis concert was held in the gym. Several songs were rendered by the -iris with the Methodist Junior choir joining in the grand finale. ALL-SCHOOL PLAY On March 8, the comedy A Case of Springtime , under the di- rection of Miss Hawkins was presented by an all-high-school cast. The play was concerned with the difficulties of a teen-aged boy, his father who failed to understand the lad, an irate school principal who did not appreciate magic tricks,and the principal13 daughter who was interested in a college nan rather than in hir.. One by one the problems were solved, and the play ended with the girl friend returning to her high school sweetheart and the father and principal becoming reconciled to the pranks of youth. Those participating were Leonard ?ray, Phyllis Johnson, Clarice Jenkins, Bob Beavers,Murray Cunning, Earl 3tacy, Clifford Wilson, Kenneth Grayboal, Arlene Olsen, Wanda Wight,Marie Parker, Ann Johnson, Jean Furman, Beverly Hutchings, and Jean Bissonette. SENIOR PLAY The Senior Class Play, Ananias Bill , directed by Miss •Ia.vkins, was presented on April 2G to a capacity house.

Bill, a lovable, lazy old loafer, -iven to the telling of tall stories and constantly nagged by his shrewish wife proved to be clever enough to expose the wily tricks of the small-town vil- lain. The play ended on a happy note with 3ill earning the re- spect of the community and the admiration of his termagant wife.
