Seekers of Fortune ! They le whole world before them. They were optimistic. They would be just what they made themselves by work, hard work. What should they do was the seemingly unanswerable question. It was not a question long as . bbie Stuart came to the front, as she did many times afterward, and suggested that their quest be for oil. Oil! Oil! Oil! How wonderful! Everyone knew that so much midnight oil would be burned the next four years by this class, that it would greatly dimmish the world s supply. Surely it was the duty of this group to try to replenish this store by finding a new well. Everyone knew that more fortunes had been made in oil over night than by any other means. How excited the Seekers of Fortune were over the idea of trying to find oil! Carl Ruckman took the opposing side and debated vigorously, but he was over-ruled and it was decided that they would start tomorrow on the quest. Edward Wilson was elected geologist by a unanimous majority and Rita Simonfy put in charge of the field work, as Rita was always thorough in what she did. Realizing that perhaps the evenings might be quiet and there would be some need of entertainment, an orchestra was organized, composed of Jerry Akins, Arthur Rosenlund, Frank Stoddard and Chadburn Wallin, which orchestra was to play on special occasions to break the monotony after the close of the day's tasks. This being arranged satisfactorily, the Seekers of Fortune went out to drill in their chosen held named the Fergus High Anticline. Contour maps were made, after which followed the location of the well. Funds for development purposes were at once raised and operations started. In spite of this, however, some be- came discouraged. They conceived the idea that as much money could be made without four years of digging, so they followed their own pursuits. Considerable time passed after spudding in, but as the drill found its way deeper and deeper into the mother earth, through the solid rock of Geometry and the famous English shale, showings of oil were found. Whereupon Mary Scott, Russell Stephens, Mildred Foster, and Evelyn Gibson started singing for joy upon the finding of such splendid indications of an oil pool beneath. But here it was found that physical strength must also be developed in order to continue the quest. Leonard Sorenson therefore turned his attention to basketball while Ted Heatherly displayed his ability in football. So it was that the drill went rapidly on until in the fourth year it reached the Senior cap rock, where of course operations slowed down considerably ; but the drill found its way through, and oil was discovered and in commercial quantities, too, as it filled the casing and soon flowed over. What joy! The Seekers of For- tune had made their goal after years of work. James Campbell dressed better than ever, which is saying considerable. Parties were given. Mr. Crego was put in charge and attended to all the de- tails. The selection met with approval by all as Mr. Crego had for some time been recognized as a most amiable person and so-termed good scout. Everything moved on nicely and pleasantly as if in a story. Miss Sutherland, being known for her English ability, was placed in charge of all the press reports. The news of the Seek ers of Fortune went out to all the world, and one important thing she never failed to bring before the attention of the public was that many others could be as succes sful as were the Seekers of Fortune if they but only would apply themselves as energetically. The sharp drill of effort and earnest endeavor, applied diligently during the four years of high school, cannot help but penetrate the rich oil-bearmg sands of knowledge; and so did the class of '20 find themselves greatly enriched and well rewarded for their toil. Helen Warr. jt Junior Class Freshman Chapter. 1. Now it came to pass on the eighth day of the ninth month of the year 1917 A. D. the united tribes representing the Freshman class, presented themselves at the Holy Temple, thereby becoming applicants at the shrine of knowledge. 2. And it came to pass that the mighty hands of our two rulers, Mary and Lillie (Miss McEntee and Miss Doerflmger) sheltered us from the hazing of the Sophomores, the scorn of the Juniors, and the righteous roar of the Seniors. 3. So it happened that after the worries and troubles of our first year’s jour- ney along the path of learning were finished, we entered upon the uncertain joys and sorrows of our Sophomore year. Sophomore Chapter. 1. Now it came to pass under the guiding hands of our next rulers, Maude and George (Miss Marks and Mr. Warner) that we entered upon our career as Sophomores in the new Temple of Knowledge known as the Tar-Paper Palace. 2. And there descended upon us a great plague m the form of ” flu.” Many of our brethren and sistern fell into the clutches of this cruel menace and escaped only after a long siege of sickness. 3. It was deemed necessary and righte ous to hold a feast for all the tribes, where we were entertained by the rulers of our respective clans. Thus the seco nd year of our pilgrimage closed, every step bringing us nearer our goal. Junior Chapter. 1. Now it came to pass that new rulers were crowned and became very popu- lar with the Junior clan. These were known as Anna and Leonard (Miss Crapser and Mr. Turner). We started the most important step of our pilgrimage with joy and gladness. In expression of love for our rulers and their royal relatives (the faculty) we gave a festival. 2. So it came about that the noble clan of Juniors was second to none but first to all. The spirit of pep had so taken possession of us that even the mighty Seniors could not fail to note our existence. Even the maiden whose voice held forth on the glory of our teams and school at the festival known as basketball games was a Junior. 3. This third part of our journey is passing onward and we soon will be the undisputed lords of all we survey. Next year the new shrine to knowledge will be completed, greater and grander than any shrine at which we have heretofore wor- shiped. We shall enter this and bring glory to our tribe and our new rulers, who- ever they may be. Audrey Hefner.

At first the Freshman, Confused and helpless in the carefree throngs. As a whining school-boy with his lunch box And shining morning face, comes with his lessons Timidly to school. In 1918, the present Sub-Juniors claimed the honor of being the first class to enter Fergus High in the middle of the year. Then we boasted a showing of forty- four. Miss Lundstrom is and has always been our class sponsor. 2. The n the conceited Sophomores with a worldly air. Striding down halls with arrogant step and knowing look, Gazing at the lowly Freshmen. At the beginning of our Sophomore year in 1919 our number had decreased to twenty. Nevertheless, this did not prevent us from breaking all former class rec- ords by winning the Boosters’ Club pennant. That one of our members, Agnes Crego, was placed on the Fergus Debating Team was another honor for our class. 3. Then the Junior, Full of good wit and competition for the Senior. His bygone pride well polished and reserved; His one ambition, graduation. i? uij=3Fumor Cook ook When you are hungry for friends, when you are searching for tested recipes of friends that have not failed, or when you are looking for a friendship made of the finest and most delectable ingredients, you will find that this Sub-Junior Cook Book will satisfy any appetite.

Qtijt tme of '22 It is a wise old Sophomore, and he stoppetk one of tkree, Now tell me, is tke SopKomore Class tke best you e’er did see? ” He held kim witk kis glittering eye; tke Freskman’s knees did shake, For ke feared tkis solemn SopKomore, and greatly did ke quake. ” Ok tell me, learned SopKomore, ok tell me, wise and true. Of tke history and promise and great repute of tke Class of ’22.” Tke Sopkomore's piercing eyes did melt, and proudly up drew ke, ” Ak, tken you’ll know tkat tke SopKomore Class is tke best you e’er did see? ” Tke Freskman nodded a mute reply, wkile quickly kis fear did pass. As tke wise old SopKomore did relate tke Rime of tke SopKomore Class. ” On a cool September day, tke clouds o’er a wind-swept sky were blown, As tke Freskmen entered tke portals wide, tkey wisked tkat tkey were kome. Tke hazing days were soon to come, o’er tke sky a cloud did pass. It grew m size, it took tke skape of tke dreaded SopKomore Class. But tken tke faculty said, ” Stop ! ” and tkeir advice was keeded. Tkey saved tke kaugkty SopKomore Class from tke terrible trouncing tkey needed. Tke fame of ’22 increased, for tkeir purse-strings were not tigkt, Tkey kelped Columbia win tke war, and strove for wkat was rigkt. Tke warriors of tke Freskmen did tken play basketball, And wkat tkey did not win tkey lost, but tkey kad keard tke call. And now tke Freskmen were aroused and working back to back, Tkey came out witk a firm resolve and took first place in track, All other teams did tkey excel, and took first place m track. Tkey grew in wisdom, spirit, strength till September's sun did shine. Now tkey were gay young Sophomores; no longer need tkey pine. With piercing eyes and fearful looks tkey made tke Freskmen quake Till tkeir knees smote together like battering-rams and tkeir voices with awe did break. Four Sophomores on tke football game, in basketball was one, You’ve seen tkeir warriors out for track, for tke season’s just begun. Tkeir speakers, tk eir debaters, tkeir sponsors, e’en tkeir foes, Will spread tkeir fame and honor wide wherever each one goes, Will spread tke lr fame for years to come, wherever each one goes. Tke Sophomore Class is the greatest class tkat ever man did see ! And now, tkou humble Freskman lad, declare tke same to me ! ” ” I fear tkee, learned Sophomore, I fear tkee more and more, For tke Sophomore Class is tke greatest class tkat ever did wage a war. Tky warriors are so brave and bold, thy maidens are so true, Tkat tke fairest class in Fergus High is tke Class of '22.” Hobart JVlinor. Sophomore Class. Sophomore Class Officers.

In the year 1915 nine pupils, who are now Sub-Sophs, were classmates in the fifth grade, attending the Hawthorne School. In time new members joined and at the end of the sixth semester they bade goodbye to the old building and fa- miliar surroundings to pass to the Lincoln, the next ' port of call.' Weary months were spent m becoming accustomed to the new environment, rules and instructors. 1918 found us all a wondering and expectant lot of mariners waiting the day when our new' landing should be reached. It was rather a sad time, for instead of gathering new members, some of our number left our ranks, just as we reached Port Fergus High.” And though the sea grows angrier, the waves dash higher, and the skies darker, our crew wrill brave the dangers of the deep and we will some sad but eventful day reach the last port to embark upon the sea of life.

We leave it and merely to the upper classmen to throw bouquets of roses at us say for ourselves, that when it comes to classes there never was a class like ours. It is chiefly to accommodate us that lockers have been put in the halls, an addition made to the dormitory, and a new high school is being erected. If variety is the spice of life, it is not surprising that we furnish enough of it to break the monotony of Fergus H.gh life, for there are such a lot of us with so many different talents and interests that we are rivals of the original fifty-seven varieties. Just a few of our varieties are: Variety 1. Bohumil Vanek (for pronunciation see 1930 edition “ Who’s Who in America '), whose great ambition is to some day lead an orchestra of his own, with Gertrude Fisher playing first violin, and Marjorie Brown second Addle. Variety 2. Robert Hamilton, who has the habit of going around after each ex- amination with a 99 99 100% average. Variety 3. There are Eugene Crego and Aaron Shull. These two are close rivals for being the most efflcient classtime sleepers in the school. Variety 4. They of the lovely hair—and freckles: Stella Laux, William Kelly, Ethel Hendricks, Carl Peterson, Dan Shull, Merrill Winters and James Murray. Variety 5. Raphael Edgmgton, the editor who seldom edits. Variety A. Familiar names on the Honor Roll: Frank Boniface, George Coon- rad, Mildred Dunn, and Dan Shull. Variety 7. Movie fans; all except Helen Cornwell. She never goes. Oh, no. Th e reason? She lives th ere. Variety 8. Political boss. It isn t a he. It s a she. It’s Catherine Miaxeiner. Variety 9. Honest. Our class treasurer, Carl Peterson, whom we have elected to a great responsibility, taking care of our class funds, amounting to 30 cents. Variety 10. Variety 11. hard to beat. Variety 12. Variety 13. Variety 14. Francis Wilson and George Coonrad, our star athletes. Nellie Bristol. As chairman of a refreshment committee, she’s Johnnie Kidneigh, destined to be a second Daniel Webster. Our David and Jonathan, Franklin Barrows and John Cox. Troublesome varieties: Helen Snyder, Lydia Henman, Leona McIntyre and Margaret Maury. Variety 15. Our sweet midgets : Tom “ Thumb ” Sherman, Anna Ruth How- land, Katy Marks, and Pauline Knoepke. Variety 16. Last but not least comes the rest of the Class of 1923. We are a promising crowd, so look out for us m the future. We confess that we were not as active a class as we should have been early in the year. Some of our critics thought we were dead. Our death was even reported m the Fergus. We were only in the pupal stage, from which we have now blossomed out into butterflies. Our metamorphosis is complete. Events during the year have gradually showrn our merit. The success of ’‘'‘Owin’ to Maggie, was partly owin’ to Elsie, a Freshman. We were represented on the high school debating team and the high school basketball team. Every one knows that the Freshmen defeated the Seniors m one of the cleanest basketball games of the season. The one blot on our class record is the fact that we did not have as many sub- scriptions to the Fergus as the Juniors, Sub-Juniors and Seniors. The truth of the matter is this. Every family budget allows a certain sum for this kind of expendi- ture. As usual, our older brothers and sisters presented their claims loudest and Arst, and there was nothing left for us to do but to give it up to them, and hear the ridicule of the other classes and faculty like martyrs. Our recent party was the occasion for our Arst appearance in the society col- umns of the Democrat.’’ Be assured that we shall appear often in print, in big type, from now on. In other words, watch us grow ! The Class of 1920 is about to leave us, perhaps forever, and the Class of 1923 wishes them goodbye, good luck, and Godspeed. Laura Wasm ansdorff. Freshman Class.

We just decided to come to high school last February and already we have established several kinds of reputations. We have our class well organized w ith a fine set of d our business meetings are models of pep and propriety. We had our first real high school party April 16, and if all high school society is as good as that party four years won't be half long enough for our good times. The girls, or their mothers, are all good cooks and the fellows have the appetites so the refreshments didn't last long.

Tkere are many wko cannot take this course on account of circumstances over they have no control. Many mature men and women wish to p work along some special line in which they are interested, er to give such students the best possible chance for develop- ment and self-improvement, special classes have been organized in the Fergus County High School that appeal to a large number of people. The commercial department attracts the largest number of students among those who enter for at least a year’s work. Classes in bookkeeping, shorthand, typewriting, business practice, and English serve to give a good working founda- tion for a business career. The instructors often give individual instruction so that one may enter these classes at almost any time in the year. The agriculture classes and the shop work are very popular with the boys m these special courses. For boys who were needed on ranches late in the fall and early in the spring, the short course was organized. The short course classes open in November and close in March, allowing the students to get m their home work and school work also. Not only boys and girls of school age take advantage of these special courses,' but many older men and women from different parts of the country come in to attend. Gas engine work and agriculture attract the largest number of these boys. Practically all enroll in the special class arranged for them in English, and many take work m the commercial department. Farm mathematics is a favorite study. This year twenty-one of these young men from the country entered this course, the most of them staying until March to complete the work. Early in the year 1920 the Lewistown school district, or District Number One, came under the provisions of the part-time school law which provides that all boys aftd girls in the district under eighteen years of age, not high school graduates gainfully employed, shall attend school regularly for at least four hours a week. No one can be excused from such attendance except by an order from the attorney general of the state. Thirty-seven of these students have enrolled m the high school. They are allowed to take whatever work best suits their wants and wishes, and to attend at whatever time is most convenient for them and their employers. The business course and the shop work seem to appeal to the boys, while many of the girls enter the classes m home economics. This branch of the high school is highly important and is receiving careful attention from those m charge. Farmers 'Week is one of the special sessions of the school year. The students close their books and go to their homes, leaving the building and the faculty for the use and instruction of the fathers and mothers and all the farmers of the county. On account of several changes of date and unusually severe weather, the Farmers’ Week held the first week of March was not so well attended this year as Ifi several former years. But what was lacking m number was made up in enthu- siasm, and the week was both helpful and enjoy able, A number of specialists from the State College at Bozeman were present and gave splendid lectures. The work of the women’s department was well planned to meet the conditions forced upon us by the high cost of living and many practical helps were given. The pleas- ing entertainments of each evening added greatly to the week’s enjoyment. The meeting closed with a banquet served to two hundred and fifty by the domestic science department. To Mr. Carl Peterson, county agent, and Miss Nora Hott, home demonstration agent, belongs much of the credit for the success of Farm- ers ' Week. By offering these special courses, the Fergus County High School tries to meet the needs of the community and to give the greatest possible amount of service. Special Class. Special Officers.

In the year 1915 nine pupils, who are now Sub-Sophs, were classmates m the fifth grade, attending the Hawthorne School. In time new members joined and at the end of the sixth semester they bade goodbye to the old building and fa- miliar surroundings to pass to the Lincoln, the next port of call ’ Weary months were spent m becoming accustomed to the new environment, rules and instructors. 1918 found us all a wondering and expectant lot of mariners waiting the day when our new landing should be reached. It was rather a sad time, for instead of gathering new members, some of our number left our ranks, just as we reached Port Fergus High. And thou gh the sea grows angrier, the waves das h higher, and the skies darker, our crew will brave the dangers of the deep and we will some sad but eventful day reach the last port to embark upon the sea of life. The Fates willing, none of our number shall meet with disaster. ®f)e m H ang Abel, Elsie .......................................................u Bubbles Apple, George..................

STtjr $ost (graduates LL but four of tbe Post-Graduates bave graduated from Fergus. Edna Bleasdell graduated from the schools of Pierson, Iowa; Mrs. Henton from Sedalia, Missouri; Elsie Hooper from Ronan, Mon- tana ; and Lorena Ob ee from Andover, Kansas. The Post-Graduates taking' commercial and normal training courses do the same work as high school students taking these courses. They ought, however, to make better stenographers and teachers because they have taken this work after completing the regular high school course. The college courses are dependent upon the amount of work required by the colleges, and college credit is given to those who fulfill the requirements. The sub- jects in which college Freshmen are to receive college credits are; college English, psychology, economics, trigonometry, and college algebra. The Junior college stu- dents, because they recite a greater number of hours per week and receive so much individual attention, should have gained more here from their studies than those who went to college. Edna Bleasdell and Lorena Obee entered school when about half of the first semester was over. Pete Teigen and Mae Biggerstaff entered at the beginning of the second semester. In February, Esther Garry accepted a stenographic position at the Milwaukee depot. In March, Mrs. Henton and Lorena Obee left school to put their normal training knowledge into practice. Mrs. Henton has been teach- ing m the city schools and Lorena at Arm ells. The accredited high schools of Montana may establish Junior College courses if they are able to meet the requirements made by the state-. The requirements are : First, the school district must be able and willing to provide adequate finan- cial support m order to buy the required laboratory and library equipment. Second, students who attend Junior College must be graduates of accredited high schools unless they are twenty-one years of age or older. In the latter case the students must show that they are prepared to pursue the courses in which they are enrolled. High school students of superior ability, having completed at least fourteen credits of high school work, may be admitted into Junior College classes. The third requirement states that the teachers of Junior College classes shall have special preparation for the subjects they teach. This preparation must mean at least the equivalent of one year of graduate study in an institution of recognized standing. Next year Fergus County High School expects to have a Junior College course which will be conducted on a collegiate basis. Undoubtedly there will be a large enough class of Junior College students to justify the forming of classes exclu- sively for them.

(girls’ Htterarp octetp HIS is the fourth successful year of the Literary Society under the supervision of Miss McEntee. The membership this year is very large, numbering about one hundred eighteen. Miss Ehrhorn was chosen as assistant sponsor, and she introduced many interesting games. The meetings which are held every club day are very enter- taining and also educational. A committee is appointed at each meeting to have charge of the next program. In this way each girl takes a turn in sharing the club work. The programs consist of musical numbers, games, stories, and recitations. The musical numbers are worthy of special mention. At one meeting we had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. Wallin give an interesting talk on Shak espeare’s home. Another important feature of our society is the refreshments which always add greatly to the popularity of any organization. We feel that we have carried out the aim of the club this year in that we have derived some benefit from the meetings, we have had good social times, and we have succeeded in knowing our fellow club members better. The big event of the year will be the party at the end of the semester. The officers are: President, Mary Irene Scott; vice-president, Caroline W arr ; secre- tary, Evelyn Gibson; treasurer, Kathleen Nangle. ®b? Natural piitloSopbp Club The main purpose of the Natural Philosophy Club is to become better ac- quainted with the things learned m physics and chemistry, and also to mix an item of pleasure with it. The officers of this club, which were elected for one semester, are : President, Edward Wilson; secretary, Arthur Van Noy; program committee, Arthur Rosen- lund, Daniel Sh arp, and Frank Stoddard. On December 11, Dr. Attix gave a very interesting X-ray demonstration, using one of the members as an example. Two weeks later, Mr. Longshore, Lewistown s chief engineer, spoke to the boys concerning his experiences at school and work, and it was keenly enjoyed by all. On January 29, Mr. Tilzey, our county surveyor, gave an interesting talk on good roads. He outlined, briefly, the history of roads and also described the different types and their advantages and faults. The next talk was given by Mr. Cummings to both the Geography and the Philosophy clubs. His talk concerned the gold mines m the Black Hills of South Dakota. This talk was keenly appreciated and enjoyed by both clubs. Mr. Freeman gave the next talk on “ Oil the main issue of the day. Both the Geography and Natural Phil- osophy clubs were there to enjoy it. At the club's last meeting, the members went to the Bell Telephone Company's exchange. Mr. Thielke explained the different parts. This demonstration was very instructive and enjoyable. (girls’ discussion Club The Girls' Discussion Club of F. C. H. S. was organized last fall wi th Miss Sutherland and Mr. Winslow as sponsors. Meetings wrere held on alternating Thursday afternoons. The object of this club was to interest the girls m public speaking and to give practice in parliamentary usage. .About forty girls enrolled as members and most of them proved loyal and interested workers. Much credit is due to the officers and program committees for the success of the club. When the society was first organized, Doris Cummings was elected president and Ruby Campbell secretary-treasurer. Later, Eleanor Clegg was elected presi- dent and Hester Smith secretary-treasurer. The Moving Picture Industry, The High Cost of Living, Colleges and Universities, Foreign Countries, Parliamentary Law, and phases of the World War were among interesting topics presented. Our society displays sides other than that of the studious book-worm ideas. Business must come before pleasure, hut for the remainder of each session we made merry and became better acquainted with each other. tEfjc Hatm Club Latin Club was organized tkis year under tke lead erskip of Miss Lundstrom. Tke club was m tke form of tke Roman government; tke officers were elected and inaugurated according to Roman cus- toms. Tke first election was declared null and void for tke fates were against it. The magistrates finally chosen were tke two con- suls, tke praetors, tke curule, aediles, and quaestor. Tke term of office was one semester. Tke consuls appointed tke Pontifex M aximus and tke Imperator. At each meeting time was turned back to tke age of Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil and we conducted our sessions as tke old Romans did, Tke most important event of tke year was tke Roman banquet, served according to Roman style. If any spectators bad been present they would have considered it a very funny procedure, to see all tke guests dressed m white togas reclining at the tables. Vhen they reclined, tkeir slaves removed tkeir sandals and tke ser- vants washed tkeir hands carefully. There were no tablecloths and no silverware except a spoon apiece. Sacrifice was offered to tke gods, entertainment was fur- nished between tke courses, and all tke dishes that were served were Roman. At tke last meeting Mrs. Saxl, who has visited Italy, gave a very interesting talk on 11 Italy as a Person Who Has Studied Latin Sees It” Tke Latin Club has had a full membership this year and hopes to see everyone who is m tke club now, come back next year. ibpantsf) Club When tke Spanish Club was reorganized this year under tke guidance of our Spanish teacher, Miss Paisley, we elected as president of tke society, Aaron Skull, with Harriet Allyn as vice-president and Ruth Spargur as secretary. About twenty- four members were enrolled and other members of tke Spanish classes were pre- sented at times when plays and dialogues were presented in which they took part. Our programs were given entirely m Spanish. Some of tke plays given were : “ Little Red Riding Hood,” ” Napoleon's Laundress,” ” Tkeir First Quarrel,” and others equally good. On our initiation days there were many puzzling stunts per- formed, and our games, Spanish also, were amusing and very different from Ameri- can games. Once when refreshments were served tk ere was held a Spanish auc- tion through which tke girls secured tkeir partners. One club day we joined with tke Geography Club and listened to a splendid lecture on Mexico with stereoscopic views by Mr. Cummings. Mr. Cummings spoke again, when he gave us a glimpse of kis hair-raising adventures in Mexico. Altogether, our Spanish Club work has been a source of learning. Cije Agricultural Club Tke Agriculture Club had its first meeting on November 6, 1919. Clarence Ditty was elected president, and Harold Hogeland, vice-president. Tke commit- tees elected were tke program committee and tke constitution committee. These offiers and committees started tke best club of tke school on a jump, which made it far superior to any other club. Tke club started out with twenty-seven members, but grew to an enormous size. Tke club room was soon filled to capacity, the constitution providing tke admittance of new members. The administration was so arranged as to give tke officers a term of six weeks but not having tke right to serve twice until every boy of tke club had a chance to hold an office. In this way all tke boys became respon- sible and interested m tke club. Tke programs that were given during tke various meetings could not be ex- celled by any other club. Tke programs related to agricultural subjects and were enjoyed by one and all. There were about six snappy debates on agricultural sub- jects. Musical numbers, besides jokes, stunts and speeches were given for enjoy- ment. Tke largest u feed ” that wras given kept tke old mmbers and brought new members to tke club. )t 31rt Club !HEN the clubs were organized last winter, tke Art Club, sponsored by Miss Burton, elected as officers Lucy Elston, president; Hazel Frazier, vice-president; Lily Edsill, secretary and treasurer. Later Hazel Frazier became president, Etkel McIntyre, vice-president, and Lily Edsill, secretary and treasurer. A program committee was appointed to plan tke programs. Several times tke club kour lias been given to tke discussion of basket-making. We made suggestions, planned, and brought pictures of various baskets made of pine ne edles, reeds, and raffia. It was discovered tkat pretty baskets could be made of materials growing in tkis neighborhood, suck as pine needles, and reeds. In a like manner box decoration was discussed. Old novelty boxes can be made as good as new. Suck was dem- onstrated by our sponsor with a hinged lid box enameled white inside, and black outside, and a stencil design painted on top. Members of tke club have talked on several subjects in relation to art, suck as clothing, design, rugs in their native land, ancient Greek art, ceramic art in Japan, and renowned artists. Tke club has not only taken our minds from our school work, but has given us suggestions for studying art and has been an inspiration for higher ideals. Jfrendj Club The French Club or Cercle Francais was organized Nov. 6, 1919, under tke supervision of Miss Crapser. At tke first meeting tke following officers were elected: Dora Dykins, president; Emory Gibson, vice-president; Anna Pederson, secretary; Siegfried Kummrow, treasurer. Eva De Tour was later elected to tke office of treasurer to take tke place of Siegfried Kummrow. Tke purpos a of tke club was to learn about anything French. At tke different meetings French songs were sung, stories by French authors were read, articles on French customs, art and music were given, and selections from operas compose d by Frenchmen were played on tke Victrola. Several plays were given at those meetings, namely: Dons le Magasm, La Lecon de Francais, Les Martms an Restaurant. A Mardi Gras was held on Thursday, Feb, 5, tkis being tke club day nearest tke day observed in France. Tke members were dressed in French costume and tke program was as muck of a festival as tke weather permitted. At tke third meeting a committee was appointed to procure a French play, which was put on at each meeting. Tke club meetings were discontinued April 8 because of tke increase in tke number of school events. Tke members of tke club were very muck disappointed for Mr. Winslow was to have given us an account of his experiences in France. Commercial Club At tke beginning of tke year tke Commercial Club was under tke supervision of Mr. Boland who read us many interesting articles of how men have succe eded. He made these more interesting by telling us about tke success of men of kis acquaintance. He told us many instances in which courtesy has led to success and urged us all to cultivate tke habit of being always courteous, of saying those two simple, but oft forgotten words, Thank you. He explained to us tkat tke habits of neatness and cleanliness are essentials of tke successful position seeker, especially neatness in tke small things which are so often apt to be overlooked. We find how important advertising is in tke business world from tke story of tke success of Mr. Wrigley, tke gum manufacturer, who is tke largest advertiser in tke world. After Miss Strawman came she took charge of our club and tke following offi- cers were elected: President, Grace Grant; secretary, Fern Wheel er; program committee, Dorothy Graeber, Lovelia McCune, Lena Jenni. At one of our meetings we had delicious refreshments of popcorn balls and fudge made by Miss Straw- man and some of tke girls of tke club. We were planning to have some of tke business men of tke town speak to us but as there are to be no more club days this year we will have to save tkat treat for next year. Zfc dleograpbp Club Geography Club is one of the popular high school organizations. : work is caned on under the direction of Mr. O. W. Freeman, nard Sorenson was president and Eleanor Barrows secretary this r. The purpose of the Geography Club is to increase the stu- ts interest in geography and physiography. The war and its m- nces have proved of great interest as geographic subjects. Brief talks h ave been given by different student members which not only in- creased their knowledge along geographic lines, but gave them an opportunity to read in various books and magazines about the world s activities. Several faculty members have addressed the club, to whom the members listened with much in- terest. Occasiona Hy men from outside have spoken. The illustrated lectures were especially enjoyed. Special attention is devoted to the geography of the United States and its place in the world, and especially to the geography of Montana and the territory included in Fergus county. Cbe Cngtne Club The Gas Engine Club was organized by students interested in the gas engine or mechanical lines. Mr. Musgrave and Mr. Pope, our sponsors, were the real leaders, and their advice was followed whenever it was given, but they left all the business part of the club for the members to carry on as they saw ht. The club work was beneficial to the members in many ways. The meetings were carried on in as business-like way as poss ible. M any debates and speeches were given on topics that were of general interest to the club members and thereby giving them a better knowledge of the motor world. The club has had a very suc- cessful year. Its members have learned how to carry on a business meeting, and by delivering speeches and debates, they have lost their fear of an audience. Zbe footer Club The Rooter Club of F. C. H. S. was organized at the request of the students when the need became apparent. Mr. Winslow was asked to be sponsor, and about twenty boys were at that first meeting. By the next day the girls had organ- ized with Miss McEntee as sponsor, and when the two clubs met to practice yells the roof of the barracks was in danger of being lifted. The Rooter Clubs, working together, led in the rallies, and saw that the Fergus boys were properly cheered at the depot when they returned from a game. But the value of the Rooters was most apparent at the home games. They had the pep, megaphones, and loyalty, and when they yelled it certainly had some effect. However, boosting was not the only accomplishment of this remarkable tribe. The Rooter boys and girls prepared and served a most enjoyable and bounteous feed given in the gymnasium, following the last game of the district tournament. The guests of honor were all the visiting teams and the officials. Everyone had a fine time and expressed their appreciation of this, the climax of the whirlwind career of the Rooter Club of Fergus. May there be a Rooter Club next year and may they inherit our pep. Zbt ©ometfttt Science Club The Domestic Science Club was organized chiefly for the benefit of those girls who were not in the D. S. department. The aim was to study the different home problems and simple ways of helping to solve them. After a discussion of the many duties and responsibilities involved in a home, several topics were chosen for more detailed study. The classification of foods leading to the choice of a balanced menu proved a helpful study. A demonstration of candy making was practical at Christmas time. The giving of a tea and an informal reception were interesting in showing simple ways of dispensing hospitality. The refreshments served were made by the girls. The officers were as follows : President, Ethel Hall; secretary, Mabel Caton; treasurer, Gertrude Fisher. 3Ffje tologp CIuli ■ E set out with one mam idea, to learn something, and that has been our aim ever since. We have worked, but the work was combined with pleasure and fun. We have a lot of sub-freshies in our club, and they make things hum. Their oratory in telling of birds, beasts and fishes is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Miss Doerflinger I sits in an inconspicuous but convenient corner and beams approval, surprise, amusement and interest in turn. No wonder, because we are told by one young would-be naturalist that some odd bird sits on an iceberg holding an egg on his toes until it finally hatches. Another interesting fowl builds a soft, warm, downy nest of smooth, hard wood. Birds have their peculiarities, all same like folks, and we believe it implicitly. We are also told that if a black grandpa guinea pig and a white grandma one have a lot of grand-children, the youngsters will be arrayed in astonishing effects of black, white, and gray fur. But don't think that ail we do is work. We had a splendid dinner one evening. June Begg, the first president, was m charge of a brigade of little sub-freshy dish- washers. They were dandy cooks and June knew just what was best for them to make. When June resigned as president, Arnold Gillette was elected in her stead. He knows bushels about hawks and owls and things and expounds his knowledge in a modest manner, while we listen in breathless awe. Elhse Jordan. ®be hortfjanti Out) At the first meeting of the Shorthand Club officers were elected as follows: Cecilia Kearney, president; Gladys Finkbiner, vice-president; Viola Goettal, secre- tary-treasurer; program committee. Chairman Gladys Fmkbmer, Marie Sharp, Ruth Edsill, Julia Leach, Cecilia Laux. At different clubs days Mr. Stanley, Mr. Franzke, Mr. von Tobel and Mr. Walker were obtained to give talks on the sub- ject, 41 What the Employer Expects of His Stenographer.” Memb ers of the club also gave interesting talks. One club day was spent in giving stunts, the members playing the part of some person in the funny paper. Riddles were told and games played. Refreshments were served at one of the meetings which was certainly enjoyed by all. The last club day the club went down to the Judith Hardware to have the Remington Accounting Machine demonstrated. Our club days have been very interesting, educational and enjoyable. Though we may never be m a club together again, we shall all remember with pleasure our Shorthand Club days and sponsors, Miss Hoffman and Mr. Underwood. Wi)t tuning jHountains is otietp The Society of the Shining Mountains was organized January 6, 1919, with Miss Trost and Miss Petrashek as advisors. The members of the society were Normal Training girls of the Senior and Junior classes. The society was reorganized m September, 1919, under the supervision of Miss Trost, and consisted of the Juniors, Seniors, and Sophomores of the Normal Train- ing class. It met every two weeks on Thursday afternoon. Hallowe’en, Thanks- giving exercises, a Victrola concert, a spelldown, arithmetic contests were some of the programs provided by the entertainment committee. The society voted to have its picture m the Annual. Then the question arose How shall we pay for it? ” It was suggested that the money be earned and after ways and means were discussed, a candy sale was decided upon. The girls made several kinds of candy and the sale was a perfect sale. The year’s work is ended but there will always be a feeling of friendship between the members. The work was enjoyed and it is hoped that those w'ho continue the work next year will re- ceive as much benefit and pleasure as did the members of 1919-20. Boys’ Glee Ciul). illusit department Tins year the music in the Fergus County High School has been brought to a very high standard. There are now three teachers in this department, Mr. Jesse W. Ewer, who teaches musical history and is director of the Glee Clubs, the Opera Club, and orchestra ; Mrs, E. L. Thielke, the violin instructor, and Miss Sue Kenny, the teacher of the piano. Credit is given to those who take violin and piano in- struction, and it is expected that next year students will be able to receive instruc- tion in other lines of music. Props’ Iee Club The Boys’ Glee Club is a new organization in the school. Never before have the boys had a chance to show what they could do along the musical line, This year Mr. Ewer organized a Glee Club for boys. There were eighteen members and each one showed a great willingness to work. They entertained the student body one morning, but they have spent most of their time preparing for next year when the y expect to do some real work. From the number of boys that turned out this year, the club is sure to have a large membership next year, for there are many boys that have become interested since this club was organized. Lawrence Warden was their accompanist. The following is the club membership: First Tenor Willard Catlm John Cox Paul McIntyre Richard Richards George Stilson Glen Chess Second Tenor Paul Breese George Crego Robert McKenzie Lyle Roeseler Frank Kelly Baritone Fred Colver Clyde Gore Fred Long Gordon Marsh Donald Shepardson Bass Russell Stephens Meredith Norman (©refjestra The orchestra this year has been one of the most entertaining organizations in the school. There were seventeen different pieces. Every member did his very best to make the orchestra a success, which it surely has been. They played at one of our morning assemblies and they furnished most of the music with the Ma- drigal Club, during Farmers' week. They also have been asked to play at some of the smaller towns. Several selections were rendered by them at the entertain- ment given by the Woman's Club. During the latter part of April they gave a con- cert at the high school gymnasium. The music was of the highest class and well worth hearing. The members of this organization First Violin are the following: Bohumil Vanek Clifford Dobson Bud Day Marjorie Nave Marjorie Brown Second Violin Leonard Garry Rita Simonfy Alphretta Metz Emory Maury Gertrude Fisher Kathleen Nangle Carl Owen Cello Chad Wallin Tom Garry Piano Grace Pennock Viola . Mrs. E. L. Thielke t Orchestra. Opera Club. jfflabrtgal Club i adrigal Club has had a membership of thirty-seven. They be- vork very early m the school year, and since then have worked hard. They have given some very entertaining programs, both he students and public. They sang at the assembly several s, assisted in the program for the Farmers’ banquet, and also a number of songs on the night of the farm play, Owin’ to Maggie. They also assisted m a musical entertainment given by the Woman’s Club at the Judith Theatre. All these programs were greatly enjoyed, but when they appeared April 16 at their concert, and presented their very entertaining pro- gram, consisting of solos, duts, sextettes, and choruses, we realised how great was the lr success. Grace Pennock has been their accompanist. The following are the names of those in the club : First Soprano Harriett Brunskill Bernice Burnett Mildred Burbridge Mildred Foster Gayle Thomas Norma Hanson Nettie Morse Kathle en Nangle Kathryn Kizer Myrtle Wheeler Second Soprano Cecil Nichols Anna Peterson Ella Rolston Gertrude Scheldt Violet Bussey Elrose Adolph Lucille Beebe LaVerne Hanson Ruth Nichols Helen Reeves Mildred Barta Mildred Dunn Murna Martin Edna Potter Azalia Spaulding Alto Ruth Edsill Dorothy Downing Elizabeth Hedrick Helen Jongewaard Marjorie Nave Abbi Leona Flook Margaret Hedrick Opal Hilliard M ary Irene Scott He ster Smith Stuart pera Club a Club is another highly successful musical organization. d was organized by Mr. Eewer early m the year for the pur- aresenting at least one light opera. The work chosen was 3 by Charles Gabriel. This was given at the Judith Thea- 3, to two splendid audiences and a neat sum of money was for the department. The amateur performers did very good work and showed their long and careful training. Those taking the principal parts in the opera were : Katherine Kizer, Margaret Hedrick, Mildred Foster, Gertrude Scheldt, Mary Irene Scott, Anna Pederson, Paul McIntyre, Bob McKenzie, George Stilson, Glenn Chess, Fred Long, Russell Stephens, Paul Breese, George Crego, Meredith Norman and John Cox. Th ese were well supported by choruses composed of the boys’ and girls glee ?lubs. Grace Pennock was the accompanist. -W0 Madrigal Club. T HETlcj iiasfeettiall was the biggest and most successful season Fergus ever had in ketball. It contained the largest schedule, with several long s, and several big games at home. The support of the community the high school was very encouraging and more than fulfilled fondest hopes. With this support as a basis, the future looks sually bright for basketball and its continuation as the major sport in Fergus. Coach Holste again demonstrated his ability by turning out the champions of the Falls district for a second time. The season looked especially bright at the beginning of the year with six letter men back. But needless to say, some of these men did not come up to expectations and after a few disheartening games, a complete shifting of men resulted. Several of the subs were then pro- moted and they, under the direction of Holste and the leadership of Captam Sor- enson, built an entirely new team. This occurred in the middle of the season with only a few weeks left until the tournaments. The new changes began to show re- sults very soon and the next few games put Fergus where she belonged and hopes for high honors at the state tournament were again entertained by the fans. Dur- ing all this turmoil the true spirit of the players and all the fans asserted itself more than ever. But on the contrary the season was not successful financially. This was partly due to a defect in the association but mostly to the willingness of Fergus to pay the expenses of all the teams in this district who wished to take part in the tournament. This is the first year that all the expenses of eight teams were paid by the host of the district tournament. The Fergus couny basketball tournament was held here this year as one of the big events. There were eight teams in for this tournament and all showed up well. Hobson won first place. Fergus did not participate. The Fails district tournament was held at Fergus again with eight teams com- peting for first place. The turnout was large, much more than last season, and all the games proved to be very interesting. Eleven games were played and Fergus carried off highest honors, with Great Falls next. The results of the tournament: Won from Lost to Fergus Great Falls, Fort Benton, Teton Great Falls Hobson, Belt Fergus Fort Benton Conrad, Fergus Teton Conrad, Belt Fergus Conrad Fort Benton Teton, Hobson Hobson Conrad, Judith Gap Great Falls Judith Gap Hobson, Belt Belt Judith Gap Great Falls, Teton After the district tournament Fergus and Great Falls were invited to the state tournament held at Bozeman. There our success was not as expected, although we made a fine showing in the first game with Dillon, the state champions, by losing only by one point, the score being 13 to 14. The second game was better, in which we won from Poplar by a score of 29 to 23. In the third game we fell down again, by losing to Custer County by a score of 17 to 14. But after all this experience for the four men who will be back next year, we do not doubt that Fer- gus will win high honors at the state tournament next year. Games played during the season: Fergus vs. Alumni 29 28 Fergus vs. Fort Benton 39 8 Fergus vs. Billings 17 44 Fergus vs. Red Lodge 21 13 Fergus vs. Butte 5 25 Fergus vs. Belt 13 12 Fergus vs. Anaconda 18 33 Fergus vs. Butte 11 33 Fergus vs. Billings 25 34 Fergus vs. Fort Benton 29 2 Fergus vs. Teton 26 15 Fergus vs. Great Falls 29 19 jfootfjaU OOTBALL was again renewed this year alter a lapse of one yea,r. The season was fair, but it must be remembered that the team was entirely composed of green material, mostly lower classmen. This was due to the poor schedule; Fergus had no big games this year. There was undoubtedly material enough in the school to have had a team that would have ranked comparatively high with our team of 18, wh ich was the fastest team Fergus ever produced. Football needs some sort of stimulus here, as a good schedule with some of the leading cities in the state. With the enrollment increasing in rapid bounds every year the football future of Fergus appears unusually bright. This year's team had some good material which should develop into a fast aggregation within a year or two. This year's lineup: Remley ...... Long ........ Culver ...... Miner ....... McMillan . . . . Wilson ...... Hogeland, Pete Hogeland, B.. . Mauland...... Ditty........ Burke ....... Gregory ....... Dobeus ...... . . . Left End .Left Tackle . . Left Guard . , Left Guard , . . . . . Center .

There were no men sent to the state meet at Missoula. The county meet, which was held here May 7 and 8, witnessed the most contestants ever at Fergus. But Winnett secured the highest honors. Of course it must be remembered that this meet does not in- clude Fergus. The mterclass meet was a failure, partly due to the rainy weather during that time. But next year is set aside to be the most successful track sea- son Fergus has ever witnessed, and this sport will be strongly promoted by Coach Holte. Football Team. Gregory Guard; first year.

Around him the team was built, and we are extend- ing him a good share of the credit for our successful season. Too much was probably expected of him by the other players but on account of the new material it was the most successful. It was Sory” that kept the ball going and made the pep of the team. He was the leader and played his part well. ''Come on. fellows.” “Hey, look out Wilson.” Get that man.” Wilson (Rip) Forward; first, year. Rip,” our elongated forward and sub-center. T-Te is right a( liuhie keeping the ball in the air. Even if lie is a Freshman he has a good eye and added considerable to the score in each game.

I didn’t see him.” Woiler (Bill) Guard; first year. ' Bill,” a new guard but. a good one. He played the whole year and developed rapidly. His playing was an important part in keeping the opponents' score down. With this year's experience, '‘Bill” promises to bo a fast floor man for next year, and he can be depended upon to take advantage of the openings. Girls’ Gym.

SENIOR CLASS MOTTO Our aim: Success ; our hope : to Win CLASS FLOWER Iris Mentor Class ipijopljecp Time — A warm June afternoon m 1935. Place — A beautiful suburban home overlooking Spring Creek, near the little school house where the Senior party was held in February, 1920. A smoothly paved highway leads past the house and on it glide high-powered motor cars, while in the sky is heard the continual drone of passing airplanes, some of which land on the broad lawn around the house. Characters — Various members of the class of 1920. Two ladies appear, walk- ing slowly across the velvety green lawn to chairs and tables beneath the trees. Bertha Day: ’’ Wasn’t it kind of Mildred and John to invite our class here for the reunion? I wonder how many will come? And won’t it be interesting to know what everyone has been doing? From the appearance of this place John has been successful as a dentist. And Mildred is just as sweet as she always was. I have heard that she often sings m the hospitals here and that she gave up a great stage career.” After more conversation, Ethel asks: ” What have you been doing these fifteen years? Bertha : “ Oh, I 've done various things. Tm on my vacation now, but my latest job is driving one of my husband’s fast mail airplanes between New York and M exico City. The last time I was m Mexico, Azalea Spaulding was causing quite a bit of comment by her wonderful interpretive dancing. She told me that her brother Way was a wireless operator on one of our largest battleships. Now it is your turn. Ethel: ’’There’s not much to tell about me. Tm only a reporter for Steve Gretencort’s newspaper. I ve been to Europe several times to collect data and relics of the Great War. By the way, did you know that Maye David was one of the leaders of a company formed to rebuild and improve Ypres? ” A large airplane flying a Helena pennant lands lightly on the lawn. The two ladies go to meet the passengers when they see who they are. After a few minutes’ excited talk Bertha says, ” Now everyone tell what you’ve done and are doing and expect to do.” Berenice Gordon: ‘’Ladies, let me present to you, Lieutenant-Governor Bris- coe, Miss Viola Goettel, president of the Helena Business College, and Captain Harold Roeseler of the State Militia. And in me you see the vice-president of the State Orphans' Home.” (Applause.) Bertha : ” Here are some items about some others of our class that I clipped from the paper this morning. (Reads.) ’Miss Marie Hladik, our prominent young woman lawyer, has been appointed U. S. consul to New Guinea on the rec- ommendation of Senator Edwin Gibson, who has been influential in securing for Lewistown a government financed wireless station. The Reverend James Camp- bell of Hoo sac and his sister Ruby, principal of the Hoosac city schools, arrived m the city last night to attend the 1920 class reunion at the Gannon home on Spring Creek. Miss Ida Salo, a prominent society leader of Geyser, has been elected president of the local Housemaid's union. Miss Helen McDonnell, who has been conducting an insurance business in this city, was married last evening and leaves with her husband today for Eastern points. Mrs. Blank, formerly Miss Marjorie Nave, musical director of the Roy High School, has returned with her husband and two children from Honolulu, where she visited Miss Bernice Melchert, who is conducting a successful bakery there.’ ” Capt. Roeseler: ” Have any of you tried that dandy cafeteria on First Avenue and Janeaux? One of our old friends runs it.” All: “Who?” Capt. Roeseler: You’d never guess, so I’ll tell you. Lucille Sherman owns and operates it herself and it’s some place, too! ” Jane Sebree, Anna Nelson and Leonard Sorenson arrive. Jane : “ We are here in good time, are we not, thanks to Bill Sm yth e’s excel- lent taxi service. His cars are so comfortable and he brought us himself.” Anna: ”1 was afraid I couldn’t come today because the Woman's Club of Windham was giving a luncheon for Leonard, and being president I would have had to attend. But one of the theaters was showing’ the latest episode of a thrill- ing' serial starring1 Esther Duecks, so the luncheon was postponed.” Viola: “Why was the luncheon for Leonard? ” Anna: ” He's been appointed chief of police, and the club had some ideas to present to him.” Leonard: Have you heard of Jane's latest job? She has been promoted to manager of the shoe department of Ted Heatherly's six-story department store in Benchland.” Bernice : ” What has become of Glad ys Finkbiner? ” Leonard: ” She is teaching Spanish in Grass Range Academy. But it's not my fault that sh e is teaching.” Bertha: ” What has become of Julia Leach? Leonard: Oh, she was married long ago, and as experience is the best teacher, she runs a matrimonial bureau at Coffee Creek. I wonder who is coming in that big car? ” Enter Ruth Edsill and Doris Cummings. Jane: ” Whose car is that? What a handsome driver! Ruth: 1 That is my car and driver. The car was especially designed by Linnie Seaver, and it secured for her a position as head of the designing department in, the Wallin Car Co.” Ethel: Is the Wallin Car Co. any relation to Chad? Ruth: Well I guess it is! Chad is it.” Viola: ” Where is your sister Lillie, Ruth? ” Ruth: ” Lillie has a big dressmaking establishment in Denton. She won’t be able to be here because she has gone to Paris to select the summer and fall models.” Leonard: “ Wh at are you doing? ” Ruth: ” I’m only secretary of the Chamber of Commerce in this city.” Ethel: ” How much Doris has changed! What have you been doing to your- self, Dons? ” Doris : ” I’ve been working, let me tell you. I'm the girls’ gym teacher in old Fergus High. Other improvements I owe to Marie Sharp’s Beauty Parlor. It is just next door to Frank Stoddard’s drug store. People say that Frank’s is the most ahead-of-date m town. A few years ago Frank was nearly bald but he in- vented a wonderful hair tonic and now he has a most luxuriant growth. Marie’s brother Daniel runs the Early Rising Dairy and his cattle took all the prizes at the county fair last year.” Leonard: “ Did you folks know that Ed Wilson has become quite distinguished as an architect and landscape gardener? He drew' the plans for this house and laid out the grounds. Guess I’ll have him do mine some day.” Doris: ” He designed Elsbeth King’s tea room, too. You folks must drop m there before you leave town. It is as charming and attractive as the hostess herself.” Enter Mary Nelson and Katherine Sams. Mary: ” I just didn’t see how I could come today but I found out that my guests were all going to be out to dinner this evening, so I let the cook have the evening off and decided to take a little vacation myself.” Katie: Mary runs the Teachers’ Select Boarding House and she has a fool- ish idea that she must be there all the time.’ Jane : Have you had any teachers from our class? ” Mary: ” Oh, yes ! There was Martha Guslander, who teaches kindergarten at Roy; Dora Dykins, head of the language department at Winifred; prettv Dolly Metz, who gives violin instruction at Hanover; and Lydia Trask. She and Pauline Nelson have started a girls’ boarding school m Wmnett for the benefit of the mil- lionaires’ daughters.” Ruth: ” What has K-K-K-Katie done? Mary: ” Well, she's really quite modest, so I'll tell you. She translates Ameri- can novels into Spanish, and in her spare time keeps house for her handsome hus- band and child ren. Enter our hostess and Marcellus Schoifen. Jane: What has become of Cecelia Biglcn? M arcellus (with dignity) : She and Vesta Guslander are the best trained nurses in my hospital! I get a good many patients from Cecelia Laux’s Sanitarium for Wornout Stenographers. Mildred: To mmy ’ Hill iard was m yesterday and said that she would try and come today. She is police matron at Kendall, and she came to ask Daniel Baker, the Salvation Army captain, if he could help her with certain matters. D oris : Are there any other members of the old class around this part of the country? Mildred : ' Oh, yes, sever al of the m. Th ey will probably be here this after- noon. There is Abbie Stuart, matron of the County Poor Farm. And dear old Scotty is a deaconess at Roy. Poor girl, she was sadly disappointed in love m her early youth, and now she writes tragedies in which Art Rosenlund, the millionaire play producer and theater manager, stars Evelyn Gibson. Did you notice that large imposing mansion just at the edge of town? Well, that belongs to Clarence Bristol. He h as made his millions m oil, and now, as recreation, he writes and illustrates advertisements for the ' Fergus County Informer,' which is edited by Nellie Fie mmg. Nellie is also county superintendent of schools. Katie: Evelyn s plays are very successful, aren’t they? But then, any kind of a play with Evelyn Gibson for leading lady would be a success. M ary: The poor farm has taken a new lease on life and is very popular since Abbie has taken charge. She has classes in Latin, Greek, history, and domestic science, and the way people flock there has just about decided the county authori- ties to change the name of the place and call it a ' College for Unfortunates. Enter John G annon, Carl Ruckman and Eleanor Clegg. Carl: Has anyone been out to Straw lately? Believe me, Mayor Caroline Warr is making that little city the home of progress. John : We h ave another lady politician, too. Miss Clegg is running for a sec- ond term in Congress as Representative from Montana. Jane : ' Where is Caroline's sister Helen? Ele anor (laughingly) : Helen knows more about banking now than she once did, and holds the position of cashier in the First National. Carl, you haven’t said anything about yourself yet. Speak up, don't be bashful. Carl: I m only a much-abused, hard-working county agent. Some of these farmers don't half appreciate me.' deeply.) Eleanor: One night I went to a very high class musical comedy in New York and who do you suppose was the star? Gertrude Scheldt! She was wearing the most wonderful costume and I was told she is quite noted for costume designing. The n I stopped in Chicago on the way out here and visited Gladys Irish. She married a titled Englishman and is quite well known in the highest society and settlement work. John : Does anyone know’’ anything about the rest of our absent ones? Eleanor: Oh, yes! Kazimir Plovanic is the latest political leader m Russia, and th ere are rumors that he is to be elected to the Russian Duma.. Anderson: What's the program for this evening, if I may ask? Mild red : k The Simonfy Symphony Orchestra which is here with the Chau- tauqua has consented to come out this evening and play for us because Rita is one of our old fr lends. And I have arranged for a special showing of a historical film. It is directed by Violet Bussey, and Russell Stephens plays one of the leading parts. It deals wi th th e settlement and development of the west fifty vears ago. The picture was taken on Lucile Beebe's big stock ranch in Arizona. Those Bus- sey- Steph ens H istorical Pictures are always very real and interesting. At this point a liveried servant enters and speaks to Mildred, who rises and announces: The girls glee club of the High S chool, under the direction o f M iss Cecile Nicolls has arrived to sing for us. So the meeting will adjourn. Mentor Class; ipiap PROGRAM The class of 1920 will present A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream for the class play. Dramatis Personae. Theseus, duke of Ath ens ....

To the Sophomore Class we leave our quick wits, rapid elucidation, and, best of all, our ability to play hookey without having to make up double for the lost time. 3. To the High School infants (better known as the Freshies) we leave our utmost sympathy and our ability to absorb English, Science, Math. and all those studies which are beyond the comprehension of their undeveloped mental ca- pacities. 4.

In Witness Whereof, We have hereunto set our hands and seals this eleventh day of June, A. D. nineteen hundred and twenty (1920). (Signed) SENIOR CLASS. Signed, sealed, smeared, published, and declare d by the said Senior Cl ass, as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who at their request, and in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said instrument. JULIA LEACH, GLADYS FINKBINER. MUtSe Utorbs to tlje Untutbc Better never than late. Better to write your own excuses than to get zero. Never buy paper; you can pick up enough under the lockers. Don’t stand in the halls. If everybody stood still nobody could get by. Be sure to establish a good rep ’ at the first of the year. It may save your life later. Always look up to the Seniors. You may get there some day. Always agree with your teachers; diplomacy is one of the fine arts. Never snore when sleeping in school. You may disturb the other dreamers. Never return anything you borrow; the other fellow will lose his respect for you. Never let study ruin a high school education. Never applaud any speakers at assembly. It encourages them too much. Be sure to get a seat near a bright student at exams. Always account for your red marks by telling the folks the teacher is down on you. Always say Sir to the Seniors. It shows your school spirit. 3 ©Hant to §o to College I want to go to college for to Learn a lot o’ things Bout shoes and ships and sealing-wax And cabbages and kings. I want to learn why water’s wet, And why the night is dark. Why all the little bulldogs purr. And why the kittens bark. Just why the fish will never bite, Is what I want to know. And why Montana sunshine is A certain sign of snow. I want to know why fire is hot. And when a board s a plank, I want to know why all the little Fords have got a crank. These little simple things, and more, Are what I want to know, When I get through my high school days, And then to college go. ©icttoitarp (Extracts from A. Z.

Tkis appeals only to a certain type of g'lrl, tke girl that loves Nature with its birds, flowers, and animals, and also mankind m general. Tke girl that loves Nature enjoys a morning ride in early summer on her saddle horse, just as tke first rays of tke sun peep over tke edge of tke mountains. This early morning trip after tke cows and horses makes tke soul or inner-self happy as is all Nature around. Tke sky gopher which watches with one eye over tke side of tke hole and whistles as he drops into kis hole is very happy. Tke birds are chirping; tke one is hopping about in tke morning dew look- ing for worms to feed the young in her nest, and tke other is singing, just pouring kis happiness into the world. This outpouring is very contagious, and before tke girl realizes she is whistling or singing some favorite tune. As tke girl rides on, she becomes more quiet; she is meditating on tkis old world m its freshness, and how good things are after all. This meditation is food for her soul and perhaps she resolves in her heart to be more like Nature, to be pure in heart and thought. Her reverie is broken by her horse, which is shying around a badger mound, or the hole of a coyote. Does she give her horse a kick in the rib or jerk the rein? No, she's not m that spirit after her reverie, but she pats him on the neck, calls him his pet name, and then coaxes him into a canter. They go at full speed up and down the little hills, until they reach the brush or timber. She draws up the rein and listens for the tinkle of the bell that is hanging around old Bossy's neck. In the distance it sounds, but she knows it is not far, just over the hill and into the next coulee. As she winds m and out, lying almost flat in the saddle at one time, then lean- ing over the other way at another, she avoids the low branches of the pricking thorn tree or the sharpness of the quaking asp. As she nears the cow-bell's sound, her horse gives a short friendly neigh, for he sees the other young horses and colts feeding among the trees. He pulls the rein and turns in that direction, but with a few words and the firm hand of his mistress, he takes the path that leads to the brooklet. Now they are m sight of the cows. Several are drinking from the little mountain stream; another has just turned away and is nipping the grass that grows bv the stream; others raise their heads just noticing the intruder. It does not take long to round the cows up and start them in the righ path for home. They string out, one after another in Indian fashion, and as they near the corral, little brother and sister come running out to announce that her breakfast is waiting. She runs to the house, her mouth watering, imagining that she smells a good breakfast. She is hungry after the morning ride, but that is the life for her. Jylary Nelson.

We hail him the best in the game, His playing’s not what you’d call tame ; His hair doesn't curl. And he loves not a girl, But our Sory’s all right just the same. Here’s to the Gannon named John, With the girls he can surely get on, He looks so serene. Yet his eye’s on a queen, And his hopes are never all gone. Here’s to our hustling queen Thelma, Of the F ergus she’s right at the helm-a, She can make out a plan. See it through like a man, Naught e’er can dismay or o’erwhelm-a. B. H.

Dannie Sharp has a masterful mind, He knows where all knowledge to find. He cheweth his gum, Till his jaws should be numb, He’s not the only one here of his kind. Here’s to our gallant young Steve, When he leaves us how many will grieve. He loveth a curl, He looks for a girl. He sayeth words they all believe. Dora D. is the boss in the gym.

A timid little Freshie To the “ Fergus Box ” did come. He d ropped a penny in the slot And waited for the gum. If any mischief’s been done, It started with Chad ; If the study hall s having fun, It started with Chad ; If you ever came in And saw his broad grin, You know it all started with Chad. SENIOR'S SONG Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust. If you're out in the ram Your head will rust. Up on the little rustic bench With roses all around, They sit so quiet and so still One scarce can.hear a sound. The moon's soft, silvery beams are Shining full upon their feet, W e stop to look, and sure enough, Two hoboes fast asleep. II embrasse her on the cheek II la pense simple frolic II a ete an lit a week II la nomme painter’s colic. The Fergus Staff think up new jokes. Yet how are the poor fish to know That those same jokes kept ancient folks In laughter centuries ago. OF FACULTY hired to help the Seniors run the school. Just had my picture taken for the Fergus.

John T. : I just sprinkle a little gasoline on my handkerchief. Alumni 1901 Anderson, Katie (Elliot). California Luton, Anna, Cliico Spring's Campbell.
