This is the b arracks. A diers of all countries lived in sin- quarters, anxious to hght the battles of humanity, so the boys and girls of Fergus County dig into their books, preparing to light the battles of life. More students have attended this year than ever before, proving that Fergus County High School does not consist of the building that is lived in but of the spirit that lives in it.

Fate has decreed me for a steno, HIRAM DILLIN TOM MacGOWAN HERBERT OTTMAN BRADLEY WAITE Four Fergus boys who joined the ranks to fig'ht for their country. Hiram Dil- lin was Signal Sergeant m the Radio Department of the Navy; Tom Mac- Gowan was Second Lieutenant in Co. D, 163rd Infantry, 41st Division; Brad- ley Waite was Corporal m the Ammu- nition Supply Company, 91st Division: and Herbert Ottman was in the Supply Company, 127th Infantry, 32nd Divi- sion. The class of 1919, along1 with the whole school, extends a hearty greet- ing to them. H entor Class istorp N 1915 the Ship of Progress 1 anded m France, High School Land. Rookies they were indeed, very green and new to the methods of trench warfare. Training in America, Grade School Land, had not taken the awkwardness out of these rookies, and how they wan- dered blank-eyed through the new training camp ! Immediately be- gan the new training- for going k' over the top ” to conquer the Boche (algebra, biology, English, etc.). Every possible tactful method was employed. At last they were stationed in the Assembly Hall under the lead ership of Captain Sackett. Considering their lack of organization, they did unusually well and lost very few of their number. Then Captain Cummings was placed in command. Stricter discipline, organi- zation, and longer hours of training ensued; but, when the signal was given the second time, there was less loss of life and the Boche surely scattered. The division then moved into the nearer front line Junior trenches; several won recognition for bravery. Among these were Sergeants Nellie Johnston, Traf- fley and Gretencort. As they neared the first line trenches their number naturally decreased, but they still made good ” over the top.” Many obstacles were a great hindrance to them. ” Fire was gone through, but the hardship only made them stronger and better for future battles. Now victory is won in the Senior front line trench and many of the division have attained the Croix d’Honneur. The Boche are conquered and captured. Tho' the trench life in the Barracks Dugouts has not always been the most convenient, the T9 Division has fared exceptionally well. First Lieutenants Gretencort, Clem and Traffley have been decorated for distinguished bravery under fire. Second Lieutenants Esther Garry, John Owen and Dorothy Brown are members of the famous Division Band. When the division entered the Senior trench, Privates Frances McFerran, Bertrand Brown, Ardis Calkins, Margaret Veneman and Bernard Josephson joined it. Colonels Vern Fallon, Addle McKenzie, Margaret Rauch and many others have done excellent first aid work. Many of this famous division deserve honor- able mention. May our class always have success m the future and ever go ” over the top Myrtle Ritch. THE MODEST SENIOR A freshman green once said to me, Wh y, I've seen all there is to see ; A sophomore, standing at his right. Looked on the sight in calmer light; A junior standing in the row Said kk There are some things I don't know. A senior there, a pallid thing, Replied ” I don't know anything.” M. R. Class? jpoem OK, don’t you remember tke class of ’19? I’m aware tKat you tKot tkem a little bit green. But let us put criticism out of our minds And consider tke specimen fair for tke times. Skinny was Cassius, tall and tkin, But thinking didn't botker kim; Jack was our editor, sad and profound, Witk deep-set eyes and head quite round; Traffley led basketball; Cathie, debating; Jerry and Vernon talked often of dating'; Ardis ambition nothing1 could bar, She surely would be a great movie ” star ; Now we mustn’t forget dear Marian Neill With her laughter tke tar paper walls would repeal; Wh en Ste ve did play basketball, kc often grew peeved, But a glance from Naomi and ke was relieved ; Doris was always rolling her eyes, Tke poor little Freskies she’d hypnotize ; There’s one little girl we can’t forget, At 1 east Smick won’t, it’s safe to bet. Margaret Rauch in all studies did lead, While Bertrand Brown on great authors did feed. Now Helen Ramsey had tke rep of always being full of pep; Nella Gurnett and her beautiful curls Caused tke envy of all tke girls. Frances Montague was always quite meek, But remember tke saying “ Still water runs deep.” Frances McFerran a pianist would be. Some people said she’d excel Paderewski. Now, gentle reader, tk ese are a few Of this famous 1919 crew. And, if left out, your feelings are hurt, Just lay the blame on your friend Myrt. HERE’S TO FERGUS Then here’s to our school, it’s old Fergus High, We fight for her with all our might and mam.

Of course it does, and you needn’t think for one minute Lt isn’t just as grand to belong to it as to boast of its fame. When we arrived on that September day in ’16 we felt green and possibly as fresh as the pro- verbial first year child. We started out well by taking up the entire assembly-room and ousting ” such seniors, juniors and sophisti- as were bound to stay with us. We enjoyed our first year very well, for it was not all work. We had several parties which were thoroughly enjoyed. The second year went m like manner. We were given a nod of satisfaction here and a growl of disapproval there (real genius is never appreciated until too late). We hope we won’t be missed too much when we take all our brilliance and fame away and out into the world. Speak mg of brilliance, we have a very brilliant class. The re are great sing- ers, great cartoonists, actresses, musicians, etc. Gertrude Scheldt, Mildred Fos- ter, and Irene Scott, all members of our class, stand out prominently as promising singers. LeRoy Surprenant has drawn many of the cartoons for two Annuals. There are many in our class, too, who, though they don’t seem to care for the opin- ion of others, rea Hy h ave as good minds and perhaps better than some if they would use them. Thelma Hilliard promises to become a great social leader and we won t for- get her cleverly planned trips that were enjoyed by all. At this s eason it is hard to concentrate upon any one subject long unless it is the usual one of spring fever, which seems to be inevitable when spring and the junior meet. No remedy has been found, but some boys and girls must be trying to come to some conclusion, we see them together so often. However, let’s all stick together another year and all pack up our books and receive our diplomas at the same time. I wish I could a poet be Like Browning, Keats, or Thackeray, And every time I wrote a line The next one with it I could rhyme. Then I’d have riches, honor, fame. And people would exalt my name; But these sad thoughts from me must go, For fate decreed me for a steno,” J. w. f Sophomore Officers.

During the first year of our travels the journey seemed long and tiresome and so some of our members dropped along the wayside and left: us to journey on without them. We had two leaders who helped us in time of need. After traveling for a time, some of our number be- came dissatisfied and so we stopped on a green and grassy bank to rest and be en- tertained. Some of our choristers sang for us, others performed feats of strength, and lastly we sat around the festal board and ate to our heart s content. Later we met a band of our elders and again rested, and made merry. Having completed one-fourth of our journey and overcome the troubles and hardships of the first year, we again merrily set forth upon the second part of our journey. Our old leaders were no longer with us, and twro new ones were chosen from the high commanders. Our hopes for a peaceful, quiet journey were soon blasted. The demons called Flu, Scarlet Fever, Measles, and Smallpox set upon us and captured numbers of our band. They were forced to remain by the way- side, too weak to withstand the hardships that confronted us. In spite of these drawbacks, this year's journey has not seemed as difficult as the year preceding. Only once have we stopped to rest along the way and then m company with other pilgrims who were traveling to the same shrine. We trust that next year's travels will prove easier than this year's and that when we meet again we shall have a larger band than ever before to journey on with us, and complete the other two-fourths of our pilgrimage. “ty)t jflag” Your flag! your home! and your country! Just what do they mean to you? Is it merely a flag of colors? Of red, of white, and of blue? Or is it an emblem of freedom. That stands for your honor and ri gbt, The one that our forefathers died for, Who fought with such valor and might? And now in this world struggle, Men fought that it never would fail, But that in glory and honor All freedom on earth might prevail. La Verne Hanson. (Sue- Sophomore Sub-Sophomores.

Hazel V. jfrestymen tgtorp NE hundred and fifty brilliant freshmen, reg'ular Edisons every one, entered the Fergus County High School in September, nineteen eighte en, clamoring' to take Virgil, chemistry, physics and psychol- ogy; but the office forced us, because of the many activities m which we were taking' part, to begin with the simpler subjects. Our fame must have preceded us; we have such splendid military car- riage that the barracks must have been built especially for us. At hrst it was a serious and confusing' problem to find our respective places thru those long dark halls, but as time passed, we became accustomed to our house of knowledge and before long we felt enough at home to organize our class, with Margaret Kelsh as president; George Crego, vice-president; Raymond Jury, secretary ; Edith Moore, treasurer; Hobert Miner and Frank Kelly, sergeants-at-arms; and Ethel Black- ford, editor. We took to everything as a duck takes to water, even to influenza and scarlet fever. The Junior-Freshman party, held early in the semester, proved to be a suc- cess. It is true that some of us were slightly bashful, but the presence of the juniors added greatly to the evening s enjoyment. They tell us that the freshman year is the most difficult of our high school course because we have not learned to study. If this is so, we are exceptions, for no one who has not learned to study could have made up work as did all those freshies who were quarantined, and especially the dormitory girls, who spent one whole Saturday from nine until six making up biology and were then ready to en- joy the exam with the rest of the class. The faculty found it extreme] sorts were organized, some of wj Domestic Science. The election of officers for the second semester was held February ninth, nineteen nineteen. Those elected were; Leona Reuther, president: George Grego, vice-president; Esther Dahl, secretary; Ruth Nichols, treasurer; Ruth Munkers and James Wilson, sergeant-at-arms; and Margaret Kelsh, editor. Early in the second semester we had a masquerade party m the gymnasium. By this time we had become acquainted with one another and as the program for the evening was m the capable hands of Eva Seaver, Agnes Combs, Gilbert Gil- lette, Elizabeth Hedrick, Isabelle McKenzie, Leona Reuther and Esther Dahl, we had a most delightful time. W e made our appearance at the all-school party and found that there cer- tainly was talent in the school. It was the best party of the year. We feel that we have stood behind the school in all its undertakings, and when the seniors lost their voices, we, without a doubt, helped to regain them. We donated a beautiful megaphone to those in the senior class who needed it most. Our freshman year has passed as a dream filled with a few sorrows, some sur- prises, and many pleasures. At present our one ambition is to be able to be called sophomores next year. :ly strenuous to keep us busy; so clubs of all hich are : Spams h, Hik mg, Literary, Latin, and I I Here's to the typical freshman we know WJio trails the girls where’er they go.

Special departments HERE was a time when girls and boys dropped out of school be- cause the kind of courses given were impractical and did not con- nect up with the vital activities of life. To remedy this complaint, the Board of Education held that, if a County High School fulfills its purpose, its courses of study must be so replete with practical sub- jects that any boy or girl will be able to find something that will make for more efficient living. In order to make this possible, the Fergus County High School, in addition to the academic and normal training courses, presents work in Music, Agriculture, Manual Arts, Home Economics, Automobile and Gas Engines, and Commercial branches. Each year has seen the se departments grow stronger, not only numerically, but also in the completeness of their equipment and by the addition of instructors. In Agriculture, Home Economics, Automobile and Gas Engine work, the Federal and State Governments have given financial aid. Because of this assistance an- other instructor will be added to the Automobile and Gas Engine department and the second year of the course will be given. In Home Economics an instructor will be engaged to handle Applied Art and Design. A second year of music will also be offered. The Agricultural course is increasing in popularity. Four of the faculty will devote their time to commercial work this year on account of the rapid growth of this department, and new equipment will be added. Men and women have taken advantage of the instruction given in these vocational subjects and all are coming to realize the way in which all the vocational work relates to actual life.

The Basketball Team Basketball ASKETBALL, the major sport of Fergus, had one of its most suc- cessful seasons this year. From very little material at the begin- ning1 of the season, Coach Holste developed a team that would have made a strong race for first place at the state. Fergus lost only three games out of eleven played during' the season and all the sup- porters of the team are certain that if we had met Great Falls at the tournament it would have been an easy Fergus victory. This year, for the first time, Fergus entertained the District Basketball Tournament which is held yearly to determine the district representatives for the state tournament. The tourna- ment was a huge success in every sense of the word. Every game was an easy win for Fergus until the final game for first place with Belt. This was the most hotly contested game played during the season. It was either team s game until the last minute of play, when the boys rallied and threw two field baskets, winning the game for Fergus. At the end of the tournament the following all-district team was chosen by the coaches attending: Evans (Hobson) ......................Forward Gossack (Belt) ......................Forward Hogeland (Fergus), Frost (Teton) . . . . Center Sorenson (Fergus) .....................Guard Hubb er (Belt) ..................... Guard The state tournament committee sent invitations to both Fergus and Belt to attend the state meet. Keen interest was aroused in the school and the boys were taking long work-outs when the word came from Bozeman that the State Health Board would not allow the tournament to be held, due to the flu ” which had broken out again.

There was considerable enthusiasm among the students and the turnout was good at the first practices. Later the daily attendance at practice be- gan to fall off and it became doubtful whether we should have a football team or not, and finally due to different unsettled conditions, it was dropped and attention was turned toward the coming basketball season. Football is a great game, but it needs some sort of stimulus in Fergus.'1 Crack Track work was greatly handicapped this year by the lack of a suitable track for work. No old material was out so all the work was done by new men. Won- derful progress was made by the team and some very promising material has been developed. The only meet held at Fergus was the inter-class track meet, held May 1 and 2. The freshmen won the meet with 42 points, to the sophomores’ 41, and the juniors’ 34. The seniors were disqualified to enter men to compete. The high- est scores were made by Remley and Irish, freshmen; Edgmgton, sophomore; Cross and Green, juniors. Remley, Green, and Edgington were sent to Missoula to compete in the state track meet. Although they made no big records there, they gained a large amount of experience and promise to make themselves conspicuous in future 3 ears.

IT i V ” («iris. m “ir F there is one thing the average g'lrl detests, it is to he considered a model, lor at sixteen that usually spells a long face and an absence of good times that all crave. But surely no one can ever character- ize the Hi Y girls in that way. The y were invited to become mem- bers not because they disliked fun but rather because they seem to combine with this love of a good time, leadership, a desire to do real of justice, and an appreciation of the needs of the girls of the school. Above all, they arc thoroughly democratic. So now you know the basis for choice. Then five women most generously consented to meet with the girls occasion- ally. They are Mrs. Chcadlc, Mrs. Stembarger, Mrs. White, Mrs. Stoddard and Miss Main. This means that at the meetings there are three viewpoints : that of the representative women of Lewistown, that of the students, and that of the teachers. Surely the resu ltmg activities oug ht to b e sane and helpf ul. The oppor- tunity to meet with women of this type has alone made the Hi Y invaluable to the girls. New members are to be chosen as the organization sees fit. It is no easy matter to choose wisely. The club reserves the right to ask any offending member to resign. So far only one member has been elected. The girls felt that Evelyn Gibson, one of our representative juniors, met these standards. You ask “ What is the Hi Y doing? The answer is “ You will learn grad- ually.1' But two things are planned: one, a series of teas where the girls of our school may meet, persona lly, the women of Lewistown and just spend a good lazy hour; secondly, money is to be raised for the Girls' Emergency Fund.

It was this very semester wben the state Hi Y leader, Mr. Eiehelberger, visited us and attempted to organize. Several meetings were Leld by six members chosen by school authorities but no attempt was made to organize, d hen came the turning point. Two new mem- bers were added to the list and the Hi Y was organized. About one month later four more members were elected, this making a total of twelve for this season. This organization has not entered into many plans as yet on account of the short time left. The one mam plan so far is to introduce interscholastic track meets, to be held before the state meet of each year. The purpose of this is to increase school spirit. Already Leonard Sorenson, appointed chairman for this purpose, is in communication with other Hi Y clubs of this state. Meetings are held every two weeks, on Wednesday at b p. m., and a light dinner is served by the domestic science girls. At each meeting prominent busi- ness men of this city have spoken to us about business life and the importance of a clean life, etc. Seniors and Juniors only are admitted, and an equal number of each. This club has just been started and it is the hope of the Seniors leaving this year, that it will be carried on th ru the life of the school. on k j:rs President. Arthur Kosenhmd Viee-President.

Now there is one proverb that is understood by each and every member of our happy circle, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Therefore we, the members of the Society of Shining Mountains, do solemnly swear (our Puritans affirm) that we will never drudge. Our meetings are conducted m really business-like style, our programs are instructive, yet enjoyable, and our eats fine! The M isses Trost and Petrashek were our members of honor until the latter went to take up her duties as deputy state superintendent. We were all joyful for her, yet despaired at seeing her go. Miss Thorpe then arrived on the scene and after sizing her up ” we unanimously declared her to be a true companion. On March 26, the Society was invited to Miss Petrashek's rooms, where the regular meeting was conducted and a delightful evening enjoyed by every mem- ber of the society. Next w'e learned how school lunches should be prepared (I should say eaten). Miss Trost kept us mystified for a week previous to the event. Then the day- arrived and none of us was disappointed in the least. The Misses Trost had pre- pared school lunches for every member of the society, wrapped each article in oiled paper and packed the whole m tin pails. Delicious, savory, palatable and all the synonyms of those adjectives could not describe what those tin pails held. Then came a visit to the mines at Kend all. The junior members entertained the senior members at the Hilliard ranch. Another perfectly wonderful time ! When the party arrived, a two-course dinner all steaming and hot and all freezing and cold was waiting to be devoured. After doing the eats justice, all embarked for the mines. One — two — three — four —— five hundred feet below the green grass, went twenty pale faces and twenty wildly beating hearts. But after five minutes the roof above our heads was still there, so gradually the color came back to the cheek and the group promenaded down the car track. At last the outside light and air greeted the minerettes and how pure and sweet it seemed. The won- ders of mining were then carried further and a thorough investigation of the re- finery took place, after which we sped home through the falling darkness — with- out any gold nuggets m our pockets but with many in our thoughts. School days — happy school days ! How can the flowers bloom without sun- light? How can human nature bloom without joy? Vou juniors and sophomores of this year and of all the succeeding years, when you take up the work of our lit- tle society as juniors and seniors m the Teacher Training course, add to it each bit of joy that makes life worth living and each bit of knowledge that will further the teaching profession and we, the Society of 1918-19, will reach out our hands in congratulations to you.

Htterarp Society LTHOUGH the G iris’ Literary Society ’ was not organized until the beginning' of the second semester this year, it has been one of the most successful organizations of the school. We elected Oliveta Rudd, president; Agnes Crego, vice-president; Gertrude Scheldt, secretary; Vesta Guslander, treasurer; Myrtle Ritch, editor; Miss McEntee acted as our sponsor. We ve had playlets, sketches, a movie ' night where Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and many other favor- ites appeared, interesting talks of every sort, and musical entertainments. The last big meeting was thrown open to the whole school, and oh! the most important part! We had eats this year since the war was over. Refreshments always add greatly to the popularity of an organization, of course. The membership this year was large; the girls have had heaps of good times; so, if the girls of next year profit by this year's fun, there will be an immense Lit- erary Society, SOME SAYINGS OF MISS PETRASHEK Arrange the list according to their front name.

To follow the tracks of a rabbit, to hnd the first pasque, to see the first meadowlark, to become acquainted with the home of the caddisfly, do more to create a real love for nature than any amount of class- room work could ever hope to do: hence the Hiking' Club. ' Not all can qualif y for membership, for the st andards are high. You can- not join if you don’t possess old clothes and sensi hie shoes ; if you are afraid of mud; if you are easily tired; if you think you can improve upon nature; if you can’t roll under a barb-wire fence, or climb a tree; if you are not interested m the primates who are your fellow hikers; if you are artificial (all that is left m town) ; if you can’t eat dirt. Th ere is one serious objection: these hikes have a peculiar effect upon appe- tite. Just how this will affect the climbing ability of the members we cannot prophesy. In the meanwhile we shall continue just to hike, hike, hike. economics Club Early in the second semester, while all of the departments were organizing clubs, the Home Economics Department formed its society. The members de- cided to meet each alternate Wednesday evening. Very pleasant evenings were spent both from a social and instructive standpoint. The work was not at all strenuous. Some altered garments while others had more pleasant tasks — those of crocheting and tatting. Altho nothing very wonderful was accomplished, a bet- ter understanding between pupil and teacher was accomplished, and that was worth while. Cbe Hatin Club HE Latin Club was organized at the beginning of the second semes- ter, under the supervision of Miss Lundstrom. The chief object of this organization has been the making of hooks for the purpose cf arousing interest in words, pictures, ideas and customs coming from Latin. From clippings and pictures, found in magazines and news- papers, have been made pages of advertisements in which the idea name comes from Latin, like Venus penci 1� (v enus, Goddess of Love), Sani- tas wall-paper (Sanitas, sanitary), and the Goodyear tire, whose trade-mark is the winged foot of Mercury. Pages of pictures whose name comes from Latin, like locomotive, 7oco, from the place, motive, movere, to move, etc., designs taken from the decoration of magazine pages, articles about Latin, along with those contain- ing Latin quotations and cartoons pertaining to old Roman customs, have made in- teresting studies. Much of the present-day architecture can be traced to old Roman days, especially that connected with columns, domes, arches, bridges, designs and decorations. How many of you know that the Montana state capitol is typically Roman and that our city court house and library have Roman styles of arc hitec- ture? It is interesting to know that some of the customs and national traits shown in the recent war existed m Roman days and have been recorded by Roman authors. On the Ides of March the club commemorated Caesar’s death; all members appeared clothed in white garments, draped gracefully over the lett shoulder, m the style of Roman togas. Sacrifices were offered, during which all heads were covered. As it was customary to commemorate a death by games, gladiatorial contests, chariot races, foot races and discus throwing were participated m by the ablest members. During the evening Mark Antony again delivered his memorable oration to the ears of the vulgar.” Later in the evening wine (diluted loganberry juice) and Roman style cakes were served. All who do not believe that Latin is beneficial as well as interesting, take it next year and find out for yourselves. ll Office. -tf c For cA ipets Fa. i + k H q p 2 ka t t |.

During' the year the girls have sung a number of times and at Christmas gave a special program before the assembly. Much more would have been done had it not been for the ’i flu which kept the club from going to sing in the country. A recital was given at Fergus High early in May which showed just what the girls could do in solos and part songs. In April the quartet appeared at Moccasin, at the Community Club. Many soloists helped to make the Glee Club as popular as it was. The sextet, trio, quintet and octet also have done work deserving of mention. The Glee Club helped put the Victory Loan over the top ’ by showing enthu- siasm through song. % )t 0xt )titva The orchestra began this year with the large enrollment of fifteen. This num- ber greatly exceeds that of preceding years. Several new violinists have been added. Every Tuesday and Friday morning at the early hour of eight, could be heard strains — at first trying to one’s cars, but later really very pleasing tones — issuing' from the gym. The orchestra has played at all school functions, and dur- ing Farmer’s w eek. A very exceptional recital was given at Moccasin on the eighteenth of April. Many of the members did fine solo work. Trios, duets, and solos were included in th is recital. With a good orchestra to close the year, everyone is interested in having a larger and even better organization for next year. debating tn Jfergus Jltgf) for Hear 1918=19 the close of last year the debating situation in Fergus County was such that it was thought that this current year would show a very decided improvement, but as you know the “ flu ’ sent all plans sky high. The Fergus County High School started out very auspiciously with seven or eight in the debating squad, including our champion debaters of last year: the Misses Addie McKenzie, Nellie Johnston, von Tobel. As time went on, it was found impossible to retain the debaters. Later two additional members to the debating squad were enrolled, but the flu took hold of th em and so these new members did not get into the game. Finally two weeks before the district contest with Roundup a final team was formed. These worked hard and did fine work. The members of the squad to meet Roundup were: Miss Addie McKenzie, Vern Fallon, and Carl Ruckman. Unlike many high school debates, the debate this year with Roundup was not a declamation contest. The high school students can and are anxious to debate extempore. Only those who do not care for the educational value of debating in- sist on committed speeches. We are glad to congratulate the Roundup team upon the excellent coaching received. The Fergus County debaters took their defeat without complaint. In spite of the many drawbacks in debating this year, the students as a whole have shown very good spirit. It is hoped that the different classes will try for the school championship next year. Fergus County High School ought to have at least sixty pupils interested in debating. If this can be brought about, there can be no question about handling the finances of the debating and there can be no question of winning our share of the debates. The question for this year was a very difficult one, entirely too difficult for high schools. Mr. Tanner expects to go to Missoula to see about the question to be chosen for next year. If he cannot get the right kind of a question, in all prob- ability we will organize a league of our own, so that we can keep going the fine interest that was shown last year. In connection with the debating spirit, it might be mentioned that a number of young men were organized into a discussion club. This taken in hand early next fall ought to produce some excellent results. Littlr Red Mare. ®fje Hittle ifclare IEET Smickey, Dingum and Supie — alias Bob Pease, Kennison Keene and McCullis Pepperill. TKese are the gentlemen who made the little red mare the most famous horse in Fergus County. When it was decided to have the Farmers Short Course in February, the need for a funny play was apparent, since everybody had been more or less blue about the flu and other afflictions. The Little Red Mare, a side-splitting one-act farce, was chosen, and Frank Smith, Donald Boor and LeRoy Surprenant seemed made for the parts of horse dealer, deaf farmer, and lisping du de, respectively. Ordinarily you wouldn't think it of them, but they are just natural born actors; ask anybody. The play, with the help of the sextette, made a real hit at the initial perform- ance m the gym, February 13. A blizzard called off the Kolin date, but the troupe appeared at Hilg’er, March 25, and at Buffalo, April 4. In the opinion of one who was present, it is difficult to decide which had the better time in each case, the actors or the audience. At any rate, it was all a great deal of fun and certainly worth while. Sextet to. Sextette HE Sextette was organized to round out the program of the Farm Play. The combination was a happy one, especially designed to charm the eyes and ravish th c ears of the most exacting audience. To state it m a different way, this attractive group of young people looked remarka bly well, and sang' excellently. They accompanied the play cast to Hilg'er and Buffalo, where they received gratifying' praise for their efforts. In addition to three theatrical appearances, they sang for the High School Assembly, and assisted in a program given at the Soldiers’ and Sailors Club. The diminutive accompanist deserves commendation for her excel- lent support and co-operation.

Due to the remarkable success of the hrst Shakesperian presentation, the class interest and enthusiasm ran very high. Some difficulty was met in making a choice of the cast; many of the aspirants in the tryouts were nearly equal in ability and interpretation.

LET’S GO, FERGUS! Snow ! wind ! rain ! hail ! Our boys never fail; Always there to meet the foe. Come boys ! Let's go ! ZH37 Jftstmg; for TOltliJcats! OHN HANK, was a quiet old fisherman who lived on the western coast of Washington, the part known as Puget Sound. He was a nice peaceable old man, attending strictly to his own affairs, tho always willing to aid a neighbor or feed a stranger if one happened to pass by. On the whole, he was respected by all, and many peo- ple wondered why he did not get married, but the truth of the matter was that Old John was too timid to ask any one. Then on the whole, he was quite contented as he was. He was the possessor of a few acres of land along the beach and a tiny vine-covered house, a spacious barn, and above all things, his most be- loved chickens. They were the old man s pride and joy and he used to spend many happy hours watching them, as they scratched around in the straw searching for the grain he had thrown out to them. They were good-laying hens, for they supplied him with eggs and he sold enough to the neighbors to pay for his few gro- ceries. So he lived there content until one night his hen-roost was raided by some animal. It happened that about midnight he was awakene d by a noise in the barn. The chickens were squawking and making a terrible fuss. He jumped out of bed and dr essed as quic kly as possible, grabbed his gun that hung by the bed, and rushed out to the barn. There to his dismay he found five fine hens with their heads off lying motionless on the ground. Old John was very angry at this and was determined to get the thief. The next day he made his trips to the nets as usual and as there was an un- usually large catch, it took him most of the day. When he returned home it was almost dark. He fed and watered his chickens and after eating his own evening meal sat down to ponder over his trouble. At last an idea came to him. He baited a large hook, a keepsake of his younger days, and to this he tied a strong rope and fastened the other end of it to the window of his sleeping room. After mending one of his nets which he kept in that room, he untied the rope from the window and tied it around his wrist, then went to bed. He slept soundly till about mid- ni ght and he was awakened by something pulling on his wrist. He quickly jumped out of bed and began to pull in his catch. Now that may sound easy but indeed it was not. The animal was strong and it was all Old John could do to pull it in. Suddenly the rope relaxed. There was a savage growl ou tside the window and something sprang in. Old John just missed being knocked over by dodging to one side. Now what should he do, was the question ! The animal was in the same room with him and probably ready to spring at him any time. In fact he could see two gleaming eyes at the farther side of the room. Suddenly an idea came to him. He grabbed up the net he had been mending and started toward the two eyes. He was none too soon, for just then the animal sprang and Old John threw the net. The net and wildcat, as it proved to be, fell to the floor with a thump. The net closed over it and the cat became so entangled in its meshes that he could not get out. The fish- erman lit his oil lamp with trembling fingers and its gleam showed on the floor a huge wildcat growling and roaring with rage and pain. He clawed and snapped at th e net but that only made his situation worse. His captor was quite pleased with the catch and said with triumph in his voice, Now you old crawfish of a thief, I’ve got you now, after your killing five of my best White Leghorn he ns. After a bit he decided to shoot the cat and have its hide made into a rug. This he did and not only that, but summoned up enough courage to ask Sarah Jones, a widow who lived around the point, to marry him. She accepted his offer and now they live very happily together.

Sit (Original Jfatrp tEale NCE upon a time, there lived a wicked old witch in a wood. She was so wicked that she hated all things beautiful and lovely. She hated the little butterflies because they made sweet music. The bad old witch wished to do something very harmful to the butterflies, for she thought that it was their fault that she could not be lovely and happy, so she tried to think of something which she mi g’ht do to th em. Now she could not kill the butterflies for they themselves were fairies, but as she was more powerful, she could do some evil to them which would cause th em to suffer. For a long time the old witch wondered, until at last she thought of how the butterflies loved to fly and be in the sunshine. So she turned them into worms so that they were no longer able to fly; then they were forced to wrap blankets around th emselves and could not even see the light. After all of this was done the witch's power was exhausted so the butterflies burst free and came once more to beautify the world. But always at a certain time of the year the witch regains her power and the butterflies are imprisoned. Anna Shields, ’22. 3Mic OME mothers never will outgrow the old-fashioned method of rear- ing children! Some mothers keep behind their kitchen doors a small switch with which to make Tames mind. Such a mother lives just across the street. Poor little Billie! He is only five; wi th a boy s longing for fresh air and mischief, and a boy s hatred of a whip. Today he followed a tractor down the street, and called the wrath of his mother upon him. She came to the door and called, but Billie was no- where to be seen. So with switch in hand away went the fond mother in quest of her boy. Anger showed m every movement of her plump body, from the way she manipulated the switch to her long, firm strides. Soon Billie was found and brought slowly homeward, with dragging feet; how he did watch the little switch. When it became evident to bis c hild mind tbat he was to get a wrhipping, he sat down in the mid die of the w alk, much to the anger of his mother, who seized him by the belt and tbus carried him into the yard. Remov- ing his shoes, she took him by the hand and dragged him into the house. Soon Billie returned rubbing tbe seat of bis overalls, and crying piteously. Sitting on the bottom step he began to think; certain it was that mothers didn’t understand boys, else why did he get so many whippings? The pain was sharp and his dignity was hurt. He would show his mother. He would run away and never come back till he got big. He would get a position and wben he was rich he would come back and then wouldn’t his mother be proud of him and wouldn’t she be sorry that she had whipped him so often? Looking at his shoeless feet, he wondered what he would do without shoes. Rising, he tried the door but found it locked. OK well, what mattered shoes anyway? Soon he would be riding to work and would not need shoes. Taking his Kiddie Kar he started m quest of his fortune. His mother had warned him never to ride down hills, so the first one he came to he braced him- self, lifted his feet onto the Kar and started down. The Kar picked up speed and Billie’ s courage began to leave him. If he could only stop the Kar he would.be all right. What if an automobile should run over him when he got to the bottom? Wbat if tbe K ar would never stop? WTat if he would upset, and hurt himself? Oh if he could only stop before anything happened! If he could, he would go home and live a martyr for the rest of his life and take all the whippings his mother should choose to give him. And then, Billie ! ” came his mother’s voice from the top of the hill — followed by ” William ! ” Billie knew that she would come after him and if he upset she would pick him up ; if he wasn’t hurt he would get another whipping. The terror of the ride was a thing of the past when he be- gan to fear another spanking. He almost wished an automobile would run over him ; in that case he wouldn’t be beaten any more. As he drew near the foot of the hill he saw an automobile coming down tbe drive. Good ! Now bis mother would see him run over and be sorry for all the mean things she had done. But he never would get any more cookies — maybe he would rather live after all, but tbe car was so near he could not save himself ! He began to cry, even if men never do such things. He wanted some more cook- ies ! Then he heard a grinding of brakes, and heard his mother scream. He got up and looked around. The man m the car certainly looked cross. Th ere came his mother running down the hill. Whe n she reached him she only grabbed him and kissed him, and he didn’t get the expected whipping. He couldn’t understand mothers and their methods of rearing children, so why try? Cathie von Toheh IN CIVICS Mr. C.: What d o we need in the h ome besides sufficient food and clothing? Walter: A jitney. jfltsttakc ROM my chair by the window in the old house I watched the cave each evening' at dusk, for then the sun rays revealed to me the hid- den nook. Suddenly from out the cave came a white-robe d figure and stood a moment. I raised my field glasses eagerly and to my astonishment found that I was being closely examined thru the same kind of instrument. Then it disappeared within. Since my fateful trip from the front I had been confined to the old deserted Belgian man- sion with no companion and with a sprained ankle to care for. This day had ended my week's sojourn here in the forgotten place. Not a soul had I seen except the mysterious person over on the mountain side and I decided that I should see more of that person, for the house was the most lonesome place I had ever dropped into. My nights were terrible. The unearthly sounds and echoes m the house almost set me wild. Once at midnight 1 was awakened by a harsh sound as of iron grating against rock. But when I arose to locate it I sank down m pain. How I wished to be back in camp with my companions again. I almost wished I had not accom- plished my task. During’ two days of a rainstorm I wandered about the place but never found the cause of the strange sounds. Most of the rooms were locked altho the kitchen was open to me. There I found proof that the place had been recently occupied. One morning I found that the supply of coffee that I had been using' was miss- mg’, also the ham and eggs. Used to such unexplained things now, I decided it was about time I should be on my way again as my ankle was much better. On examining' my machine I found that my box of tools was missing and two levers were in no condition for use. This was serious; I must return to camp soon or I should be counted dead or missing'. With a stout staff I set forth—t-o get information from the inhabitants of the cave on tbe bill, who I hoped would tell of the whereabouts of the nearest town. Halfway there I paused to look back and saw the white figure approaching the house throu gh the orchard. Within a few mintues I re-entered the house and searched for the person but m vain. Desperate, I made another search for tools. Finding' nothing but a screwdriver on tb e upper floors, I descended. A familiar odor from the kitchen met my hungry sense of smell. I opened the door cautiously and found myself facing the muzzle of a Maxim silencer held by a girl dressed in white. I backed away but sbe bade me enter and closed the door behind me. She pointed toward a stool beside a pan of potatoes m the middle of the room. I seated myself and began my task. She had surely been waiting for me to enter. Sbe turned to her task of cutting meat, the weapon near. I could not help smiling’ at this prepared comedy. Are you making a feast for the Kaiser or for me? That you will soon And out, she said with a curling lip and contemptible stare that scared me from head to foot. I was anxious to get some information, however, and met her eyes firmly. I don't understand your position but I wish you would be so kind as to tell me m what part of the country I am. I came in the dark and have remained in the dark ever since, all because of an infernal hurt foot.’' I s aw a little symp athy in her eyes which, however, soon changed to cold disbelief. I can tell you tb at you are in a very hostile part of Belgium and where you and your kind are not wanted. The words stung like a lash. Could she possibly voice the united thought of Belgium in that statement? Did not the uniform I wore, that of the strongest nation, have no appeal? And was it poss ible that my mission had failed and the enemy again held the vantage ground? I hoped there were not many such brave spies as this girl in Belgium. Who were the g uests to this feast she was preparing? The clock pointed at 11 :30. The gnawing' pang's of hunger were making’ themselves more evident and unbearable. Will I get any of this? ” I asked. She laughed amuse dly. It is not for me to say. But I doubt it. “ Then why keep me here? Tell me which way to g o to find a town, provided it is m friendly hands.” It is only across yonder hill that you could find an army camp. But I sup- pose you would rather go farther to find friends. I rose with anger and rebellion in my blood, to face her weapon. At the same time there came a sound of horses’ hoofs on the sodden ground outside. The girl hurried me along a hall and locked me into a library -where I waited in an unear thly silence. Something glittered on the hearth-stone. I picked it up and found it to be a brooch of clustered diamonds. Evidently it was the hiding place of the family jewels — this hearth. The girl returned and guided me triumphantly to the back lawn where stood my airplane. The men were behind it. 1 wondered if they were glad to have in their possession again one of their machines. I stared in astonishment and joy, for the men coming toward us were Ameri- cans. My joy froze, however, when no welcome was given me and an officer pushed me forward with : Here you young Hun, explain yourself. I won id h ave knocked him down but the girl stood between us. She was praised for capturing the 1 Hun.” They thot me a Hun because I came in a German flying machine. When I explained myself I saw disbelief on their faces. I had truly had a fight with a German in the air and had forced him down to his death. Being forced to land I found his machine in better repair than my own and planned to return to camp after dark but I got only thus far. Suddenly a young French officer dashed up to us. I recognized him as a one time bunk mate in a trench m France. Then ere we began the feast, tbe girl w ith tearful eyes begged for forgiveness. I remembered that I still held the jeweled brooch in my hand and held it out to her. She said, ” Keep it and let it stand for one who will always plead forgiveness for the wrong I have done.” It will serve as a remembrance of my rescue, I said, K. 5. “ rcpaietmess' CREECH, scratch, screech,” groaned a violin m sore distress, while a piano howled a mournful ditty of byegone days which I recognized as 11 Over There.” Bits of conversation could be heard, such as ” Mary Pickford is on at the Judith tonight m My Little Girl,” u I got three bids for the next Pep,” and similar quotations. Such were the sounds, harmonious or otherwise, which greeted me as I entered the reception hall of the dormitory. All at once, the music ceased and the conver- sation was drowned out by the sound of stampeding feet. The girls were rushing madly toward the basement stairs. What is the matter? ” flashed through my brain. Fearfully I followed the crowd, The od or of smoke penetrated my nostrils. Instantly the thought that the building was on fire rushed to my mind. Tumbled upon this was the idea of per- ishing in a fire. A great lump rose m my throat as I thought of how much I should miss by d ymg so young. How I wished that mine had been a more pious career. But thinking that perhaps I could escape, I bolted down the stairway. See- ing that all eyes were centered on a particular place in the passage, I looked and saw one of the girls from the kitchen standing there, ringing the bell for dinner. The girls were merely hungry instead of panic stricken, and burning beans was tb e cause of tb e smoke. However it is to be noticed that I attend church much more nowadays than formerly, as I now know it is best to be prepared to meet sudden death with a jyiaye David. clear conscience. 3 Strange $Jet VERY uncommon bet was made by Carl Lichnowskv and his very close friend Nicholas Amati. Nicholas Amati, the greatest violinist since Paganini, had not played for the public since he was twenty years old. He was not over forty now but the great sorrow of losing the one he loved had taken all the happiness from his life and he looked aged and worn, though he was still a young man. But his sorrow did not injure his playing; he only put more tenderness and softness, sor- row and tears into the expression. In a few years he made this wonderful instru- ment, which he loved so dearly, whisper his very words of sorrow. He love d the outdoors too, and often he took his violin and went into the woods where he inter- preted the sunbeams' dancing, the little brooklet rippling, and the whispering of the great trees. He never could be happy as the past always loomed before him when he attempted to forget. As I have said before, Nicholas Amati and Carl Lichnowsky had a very strange bet. The bet was not so strange as was the way it was to be paid. One day Amati, telling his friend of his sorrow, said as he had many times before, that he would never laugh again. There the bet was made. If Lichnowsky won, Amati would once more play before the pu blic. And win Lichnowsky did, for a few days later, Amati found a little boy trying to imitate him. The little fellow had some strings and a stick for a violin and bow and as sombre a face as Amati had ever thought of having. Amati was happy to think that such a little cherub should notice him. He began to think life worth living, and forgetting his bet, laughed as he told Lichnows ky. The bet was paid. On the appointed and much-advertised ni ght Amati ap- peared before ten thousand people gathered in the great theatre, A new feeling came to him; he was making others happy. He played as never before. The whole audience was spellbound and so silent, as the artist played, that one might hear a pin drop. Then as he finished they burst into wild applause. This was the first time in twenty years that he had played before the public, but it was not the last. His great sorrow gradually lessened as he delighted others and today he is not only a very famous but much loved and happy man. Madeline Josefclison, ’20. Just for the joy of the day in the future, Often we work hard and hurry about; Just for the hope of the freencss of summer So failure won't greet us when high school is out. Work ' is our motto and seniors will do All in their power to help themselves through. Myrtle Ritch. Bittiy uld) HE mouth of Ruby Gulch is broad and open but it quickly narrows down. Both sides of the place are thickly covered wi th pine trees. Here and there near the bottom of the slopes are groups of cotton- woods, their bright green giving' a touch of color to the dark woods. One follows the stream and soon comes to a place on the right hand side of a mass of rocks, plainly visible from Lewistown. Fossilized shells are deeply imbedded in these rocks, indeed the whole mountain seems made of them. The rocks arc full of little caves, and there is one which is quite large and is a tempting place in which to rest. Farther on a house can be seen on the right hand side of a good spring, on the left arc several tents close to a big log cabin. In summer this is the camping ground of a group of people from Lewistown. Proceeding up the gulch one’s way becomes rougher and the scenery wilder. During August tiger lilies and lilies of the valley bloom freely in the cool se- cluded spots. He re also may be seen old P1 acers tbat miners put there long ago for panning gold from the stream. The water here appears and disappears from view and soon is gone forever. The road, or rather the trail, climbs past old shacks and an old caved-in mine, finally coming out on top of a mountain at the head of the gulch. From here may be seen the roughest of scenery. The whole of the Judith Range stretches away to the west m one wild, free jumble. Sitting here until one has filled his eyes and lungs he should then be satisfied to make the return trip feeling that worth-while things have been seen. Chad Wallin. Jfergus Music of l K.aty .

Myrtle Ritch. gl m '0 %kn o Xi 2Borm Etfe VERYBODY m Lewistown has seen the dormitory. But for the benefit of those who have never entered its sombre wall, I will re- late the story of the life of those who occupy it. All kinds of girls are found here, all with different ideas, ambitions and ways, but all must abide by the dormitory rules. Each day begins the same, 6:30 a. m. The household is awakened by three long' bells which tell the is time to rise. ’ And oh! what a grouchy lot they are, when they must get up at this unspeakable hour and some positively cannot get their curlers off. Then, oh blessed bell which announces breakfast, and what a noisy, hungry, and now happy lot marches down to the dining room. After this meal they take their after-breakfast recreation by cleaning their rooms for the day. Some of the girls are excellent housekeepers, but also there are those who are not. These careless ones will pull the spread over the covers, never stopping to arrange them smoothly, thus giving the bed a look, third cousin to smoothness. The floor is swept in places most noticeable to the eye ; books, scraps and all rubbish are thrown behind the radiator and so the house cleaning for the day is done. What would they do without camouflage? The time is then whiled away until 8:30 when they go to school. At noon they return as hungry as it is possible to get and eat a luncheon well prepared and excellent tasting to this hungry lot. After school the majority of them go down town and return only in time to make themselves respectable looking for dinner. After d inner no one is allowed to go out except to the library or the post office if the need is urgent. Oftentimes those who go to the library forget all about the book they carry and come back escorted by some chivalrous young gran pa, but with the same book. 7 :30 the study bell rings. ” Everyone to her room and quiet ” chants the proc- tor, and all is noisy. Now is the time to do the visiting and so several will gather in one room and have a little evening chat. They discuss oftentimes quite freely and boldly the endless and inexhaustible supplies of beans and muffins. Every- thing pertaining to books and knowle dge is forgotten. They come back to earth again when footsteps are heard in the hall, footsteps they know to be those of then- matron. The convention ends at once and they all depart for their own homes with words of reproach still ringing in their ears. At the end of the study period it is time to retire. Everyone makes as much noise as possible and everyone is having a good time visiting her friends and fel- low neighbors when upon her astounded ear-drums fall the musical vibrations of the gong, telling her ’tis time for all good children to be in bed. There they are. The lights must go out and yet the girls must have curls on the morrow. So in the darkness and amid the frequent outbursts of language, the hair is at last up. But if too much noise is made, the guilty person is visited by the matron and her flashlight. So ends the story, and taking it for granted that all agree with me, I will say I think it is a joyous life led by the girls of the Fergus Dorm. Maybe members of the Fer gus County High School have looked with envy on the wonderful knowl- edge of the dormitory students. This is the secret, “ Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Amy Moltzau. HEARD IN ASSEMBLY Catherine : The first number on the program this morning is Last Night.

I he senior class accompanied by the sponsors, bade farewell to our peaceful hamlet and fared forth in Studebakers, Fords, Hudsons, Franklins, Saxons, Dodges, and Buieks. We journeyed until our anxious eyes were rewarded by the sight of a road branching in two directions; one leading' we knew not where; and the other, nearly in the same direction. Nothing daunted, the leading bus, driven by Jack, sped on, following the roughest looking' road. I la, there stands a hardy mountain ear ! Let us question him as to whether this is a road or a goat trail! All right! ” and the car came to a sudden stop in an empty di+ -h I rail : Is this a road? M. E.: Yes.” Tra ff : To Ru bv Gulch ? M. E.: u Yes.” Traff : Thanks. And on we spe d. At last we arrived at a cluster of cabins deep m the recesses of the Judith Mountains — An Ideal Spot.” We began to think about stopping when we saw we could go no farther — 1 A goat couldn't have ”—because a sheer glacial wall towered to an unmeasurable height m our very pathway. We dismounted from our tiresome cars and unanimously (with a few excep- tions) decided to climb the roc ky edg es which rose in all their stony grandeur at our right. Some of our numbers who were exceptionally good climbers swarmed to the very apex of the mountain; while others, lazy and indifferent, fell by the wayside and gazed with longing eyes at their antlike brethren. What’s the matter with the other cars? They have the ice cream! Huh!” “ L et’s look em up ! A few exclamations of this sort became audible and the whole party literally fell from the mountain, and, jumping' into their cars, went tearing down the moun- tainous path in search of ' ice cream. The treacherous cross roads hove in sight and the panting’ cars took the other road, the one leading to nowhere or Gilt Edge. Ah ha ! methinks I spy a jitney! Righto, and in it I perceive two humans, a most welcome sight.” Humans they turned out to be : Miss Holt and Cathie m a trusty flivver; con- vinced at last that they had taken the wrong road and m search of their fellow picnickers. Turning around, back up the mountain pathway we tore, back to our former rendezvous. OK, what a feast, and eat, you tell ’em Joe.” I simply must consume an- other portion of this delicious cake. We ate, and ate, and ate until we were convinced that we could partake of no more luscious cake, cookies, wemers, salad, pickles, buns and ice cream, and then we quit. Mr. Creg'o began to extinguish the conflagration by carrying, or having us carry, huge pails of nature’s beverage from the bubbling spring, half a mile or so. We thought for a while that we should have to tear the burning stump out of the clinging terra firma, put it into a car and carry it down to Spring Creek and dump it, but at last our worthy pedagogue was content and dismissed us. Mac, able me- chanic he is, fixed Dora’s floundering flivver speedily and so well that she ran away and left us.
