Here’S to ©abbp Crego (Our Dedication) To Daddy Crego, kind and dear. We dedicate our book. Because to any other here It would not better look. To him, because he’s all true blue, From A clear through to Z; He willingly puts all things through That ever ought to be. He boosts along our basket-ball, Our tootball and debate, And Lyceum course and concerts, all He urges soon and late. His temper simply can’t be beat. Search all the wide world through; He's jolly, calm, and quite a treat. And never does feel blue. He's very kind and f ath erly. He's loved by all the school; He seldom chides us for our wrongs, Winch is against the rule. He is a busy man at school. Yet teaches classes well; He follows almost every rule, 'Tis easy that to tell. So, Mr. Crego, here's our book, It’s all for your best pleasure; Oh, treasure it in some quaint nook. And read it at your leisure. And as you see our faces there, Remember that we love you ; We think of you from everywhere, Beneath the sky above you. Evelyn G. Pierre.

It was while serving in this capacity that he became acquainted with the Indian chiefs and thus became informed on Custer's last stand. Since 1917 lie has resided in Lewis- town. He is vice president of the First National bank. He is secretary, and has been a member of the school board since March, 1920. The picture of Theodore Roosevelt that hangs in the library, and the oil painting of Black Butte were donated hy him to the high school. Mr. Adam Fox became a member of the school board last year. He is one of the foremost citizens of Kendall, where he has lived for about 19 years. His birthplace is Canton, Ohio. The only vocation he has ever followed is that of gold mining. His first position was with the Kendall Gold Min- ing company, for whom he worked as a bookkeeper until about seven years ago. He is at the present time accountant for the Barnes-King Mining company. He is married and has four children. Mr. James IT. Morrow is a prominent citizen of Moore, Montana. His birthplace is Fargo, North Dakota. He was graduated from the Fargo high school in 1899. Since that time he has always been in the banking business. In 1910 he came to Moore where he is at present president of the First National bank. Mr, Morrow became a member of the school board last year. Miss Amanda Swift, county superintendent of schools, a New Englander by birth and education, where she served for several years as the head of the teachers' training depart- ment in a state normal school, and later as assistant prin- cipal in the schools of Boston, Massachusetts, lias beeu a member of the board since January, 1910. On coming to Fergus county she was elected principal of the Gilt Edge schools and later opened the first school in the Winnett section, which in a few years she developed into the town system whose high school ranked next to the county high school in attendance. Her slogtiu is The best for the rural schools and a high school education for all our boys and girls. During her term of office, eighth grade examinations have been conducted at which nearly a thousand students have written, several hundred of whom have entered Fergus High. In addition to her official duty of visiting the three hundred public schools in the county and acting as truant officer for a hundred districts, she has seen to the providing of sum- mer normal schools for the training of the teachers which have ranked second to none in the state. Mr. C. R. MeClave is president of the Montana Flour Mills company, one of the largest milling concerns in the north- west outside of Minneapolis Since 1901 he has been a resi- dent of Montana and since 1912 of Levvistown. Longer than any present member of Ure school board he has been identi- fied with the high school, having joined the board in 1915. Our principal, Mr. Cummings, was born in gvviftwater, New Hampshire, in 1878. He was graduated from the high school of Hot Spring, S. D., in 1897. The University of Chi- cago awarded him his B. A. degree in 1904 and he earned Iris M. A. from Lhe same university in 1911. TTis pedigree as a teacher is as follows: assistant, in the San Antonio Acad- emy. San Antonio, Texas, 19U4-'0o; superintendent of schools at Elk Point, S. D., 1906-'10; principal of the South Omaha High School, South Omaha, Nebraska, 1911-'13; principal of the Flathead county high school at Ivalispell, Montana, 1913-'16; and principal of Fergus County High School, 1916; instructor at the summer school of the South Dakota Agri- cultural college during the summers of 1910 and 1911; in- structor at the Flathead county summer school during the summers of 1913 and 1911; instructor at the Bozeman sum- mer school during the summer of 1916- Mr. Cummings built up the Kalispell high school not only in membership, but. also into a real community center, an institution of great service to the district. At Fergus he lias repeated the performance with even greater success. In recognition of his services as a leading educator, the State Teachers’ association elected him by acclamation to succeed himself as president, being the only person to re- ceive that honor, Largely due to his efforts the association holds the prominent po6tion it does in Montana life.

The busy hum of school life was hushed, and the bright (?) faces of the students and faculty had vanished. The janitoress ” had done the work well, and the bright moon peered into rooms which were neat and orderly but silent and deserted. But suddenly a strange sight appeared. Into room 20 came troops in groups, in pairs, or singly, a class of books : books that were battered and torn, books rebound, books with not a show of wear, and heavy, clumsy ones that contained a fund of knowledge. Presently, closing the door behind her, came a book that reminded one of Miss Sutherland but proved to be an English Literature. She took her place at the desk and called the roll for the preparation of a theme which was to be handed m at that period. Strange to say only a few of them were prepared, and those were books like Norma Holmes and Wilson Howland, who balk at nothing and always prepare each lesson. The others claimed that the topic given them was too hard and that they could not possibly write a theme. And it was a hard the me for the topic which was given was the ” History of the Glass of 1921 During Its Four Years at Fergus High,11 The English Literature shrugged her shoulders as if she had never seen such a hopeless class. The books seemed to shrink under her glance and were relieved when she called on one of those prepared, to read her theme. ” I'm afraid it’s not right,” began the book. The book was a Four Year s Mathematics. Gathering her tattered covers about her she stood up and began to speak m low, melodious tones that reminded one of Audrey Heffner. In dealing with the Freshman class we find a very pretty problem. The class was supervised by Miss Doerflmger and Miss McEntee. In the eyes of the Seniors this class looked green but in their own estimation, was the best class in the whole school. This class organized and therefore elected the following officers: presi- dent, Peggy Hedrick, and Dorothy Sherman; treasurer, Claude Sutter; secretary, George Stilson; class editor, Dorothy Sherman. We had a good representation m the decl amatory contest which was won for us by FI arriet Allyn. Next came the fire which put a stop to good old school days in Fergus. Next best was to hold sessions m churches, court house, library and in Carpenter’s hall.” ” Next we rested for a while and took in the all-school party. We had a fine showing that night with Claude Sutter as the stutterer, George Stilson as the gig- gler and Lelia Williams (who by the way is now married) as the teacher.” At the back of the room was quite a disturbance. A book of Claude Sutter’s had gotten off the last thing in slang, and one of Marjorie Spaulding's was giggling over it for all the world like Marjorie herself. Having called attention to himself, Claude’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner ” was next asked to read his theme. Having first explained that Sutter s literary tal- ents had inspired him to write in rhyme, he read: I They organized as Sophomores, Most all the classes do; Dot Sherman was first president, She made a good one, too. II Vice president was Rich Gannon, Claude Sutter, treasurer, Peg Hedrick with care the records kept Of all that did occur. III As soon as they were organized They gave a dandy picnic, They talked of it w'eeks afterwards; Ruby Gulch was where they picked-it. IV Now Eulalia Tweed’s dreadful fate Was whispered all about; She curled her hair to make a hit, That curl would not come out. V An e ighth inch taller Norma Hanson grew. She thought she was immense, But th en she looked at Pickles And has not boasted since. VI Marks and Warner were our sponsors And we loved the m very much, This was the first year of the ” barracks,” But we weren't at all fussed. VII This ends this wretched doggerel Th at I was forced to make. We like the class, I'll add that much For nineteen nineteen's sake. A U. S. History then was called on, who, inspired with many battles within, read in a savage tone that reminded one of Lillian Imislund’s, the following war- like account. “ In the early part of September, 1920, began the most interesting campaign. Gladys Rooth, elected president of the Junior class, was really the gen- eral; her right hand man was Dick Gannon; the vice president, financing the cam- paign, were Harriet B. and Paul B. ' The Junior class was at war with the obstacles that confront every Junior class : such as the contempt of the Seniors, the all-school party. Senior flag, and Senior half holiday. kk The campaign was greatly helped by the assistance of Miss Crapser and Mr. Turner. A short, sharp battle opened hostilities in the form of the Junior-Senior banquet. A party was held at Hanover, and Harriet Brunskill also took a trip to the Vo cational Congress at Bozeman.” When the History had finished, some one murmured ” That’s what I call mili- tary prose.'” Then the English Literature, seeing how anxious a ” Washington, Webster and Lincoln ” was to read his theme, felt it only right to give him the chance. Although she hesitated about it, because she knew he had a very lengthy way of talking hot air, very much like Aliyn Briscoe, she called on him and he hur- ried up to the front of the room and began. “ The Class of 1921 returned last September as Seniors in Fergus High. Other classes had warned them of the responsibilities of Seniority, which were entered upon fearle ssly, and which proved to be quite enjoyable. For instance, were they not allowed the front seats m the Gym and the privilege of passing out before the common herd? Marion Burke was elected president; Rhea Stephens, vice presi- dent; Paul Breese, secretary; and Emery Gibson, treasurer. A strang notion was cherished by the Senior class. They thought they could sing. 1 herefore to prove this, the glee clubs were mostly composed of Seniors. This class was also noticed in the way of debating; two Seniors took active parts. Wilson Howland was also a hero, in that he won first place in the extemporaneous speeches. The loving cup was won by this class through the long hours of work the night of the 11 Carnival.” One of the best affairs of the year was an all school party. The class sponsors, Miss Suthe rland and ” Daddy ” Crego, helped the class in pre- paring their stunts. This class also had one-half holiday which was turned into a picnic. The Senior play, 1 Husbands on Approval,’ was the last of the many happy ventures of the class. The cast worked hard and the play was a great success, due to the splendid ability of Miss Ebert, who coached it.” Said the English literature, glancing around, ” You may read your theme, Macbeth.” A mournful looking object arose. ” I was going to write a tragedy in two acts,” he said. “ Lawrence Warden, Marion Burke, La Vyrne Hanson, and Harriet Brun- skill would have furnished the music. I have already set to music for them to play, the song written by Russell Stephens, entitled, ’ I Love Vacation But Oh You School.’ The play was to be called, k The Disastrous White Feather,’ and Dale Eunson was the chief character, but I had hardly started when I became so tickled that I had to stop writing.” 1,1 We wouldn't have time to read it anyway, because the period is up,” said the teacher. The books trooped out leaving the room as it was before, but not until they had given three cheers for F. C. H. S.; three cheers for the faculty; and nine rahs for the class of 1921. Jdargaret H edrick. (gossip ebeals Senior Class ropfjecp (The conversation of Mrs. Th omas Green, formerly Miss Audrey Heffner, and Miss Ruth Thomas, now normal instructor at the Fergus County High School.) It seems so good to see you again, Ruth, just to talk over the class of '21 ; just yesterday I had a letter from Marian Akins, and she is running for superintendent of schools m Jud ith Basin county. I suppose you know Harriet Aliyn is with Elli- son-White, and she gets the highest wages of any one in her company.” '’' Bell Kynett told me yesterday; she was m from Stanford; you know she’s principal of the high school there, that Sylvia Adams was married and living in Winnett. We didn’t know we’d raised a president m our class, but I see it hap- pened. Marion Burke is president of Brazil; he seems to be very powerful down there. The vice president is Fred Long, a large coffee grower. I wonder if he tackles the coffee job the way ke used to tackle tke enemy of a football game? Tkey are botk wealtky and kave large kealtky families.’ ” It is said tkat tkey made tkeir money kerding1 skeep,” says tke spmsterly Miss Tkomas. I kad not keard about Sylvia being' married,” continues Mrs. Green, ”1 bear Emma Barrows is doing missionary work in Africa, and Alice Haderii is teaching French at Fergus High. I saw Mark Boor last summer. I guess he is going back on tke stage. Paul Breese married Merrice, and he’s president of tke Buffalo State bank. I met Gertrude Broad on tke street yesterday. She seems to be very sue- cssful as matron of tke girls dormitory. Russell Stephens is owner of tke Fergus hotel now, isn t ke? I kad a wedding announcement from Kathryn Laux a short time ago.

Seniors ill the Sixth Grade Mentor Clas WELitl, a Classic We, the Senior class of 1921, of the city of Lewistown, county of Fergus and state of Montana, statistically thought by our fellow students, to be of unused mind and minimum cerebellum, do hereby gravely concentrate upon our probable departure from this four years' sojourn in the battle worn army, grasping for diplomas.

For the lessons we’ve learned And the prizes we’ve earned, Fergus, we're thanking you. The trials and tasks of high school days Have often seemed hard to bear; But memory of these will soon fade away, Leaving the brighter ones there. We’ll often times be thinking Of the good old times we had, Of the friends we made. And the gifts you gave, ’Mid memories of jov, we are sad. Our ship of state in Freshman days Was sadly wrecked, you know, ’We bade goodbye to its burning deck Three long years ago. Then the Barracks gave us welcome All through our Soph and Junior days, “ Goodbye Barracks,” we met your hand; And may you ever nobly stand, Fergus; farewell,—’tis life’s ways. La Vyrne Hanson, ’22.

They had as yet no one to lead them, but under the protecting influence of their sponsors, outstanding students, who were braver than the rest, came forward, and have since given their services for the betterment of their class. We are a world within a world; we have our athletes, actors, singers, bluffers, and scholars, who take active parts (and in some cases, the principal parts) m every one of the various school activities. Beginning with athletics we And that Vander Dobeus can brush aside a brick wall for a ten yard gain. Golver and Stape can hold and stop anything from an opposing back to an eight day block, while Crego, Barney, and Cottam are able to stop a man by tackling him or singing to him. One method is just as efficient as the other. Gregory, also a fast man in football, is a demon in basket-ball, and there we shall place him. Maury, another slicker in baske t-ball, agrees with Cottam that it is as easy to shoot a basket as it is to stand still and lose one, so shoot they will and do. Our track men are slow until the last bell rings, and then some very speedy dashes take place. Glenn acts natural and is a success as an actor, while Lyle Mondale has to put himself to more of an effort. Betty, Hazel, Esther, Murna and others could sing the whole assembly to sleep if they had the chance. At bluffing, everyone is adept except Frank Simonfy and Lyle Roeseler, and they could be jailed for stealing so much knowledge from books. We have vamps who vamp and are vamped, while Leona, Edith, Isabelle, Florence, Dot, and others too numerous to mention, get fussed when they are asked a ques- tion which they can't answer. We are all scholars and as is easily seen, we could represent this school in anything except as a faculty member, and we could do that if it wasn't for our ambition, which never yet has soared to such lofty heights.

QUEER NAME One rainy afternoon Aunt Sue was explaining the meaning of various words to her young nephew. k‘ Now, an heirloom, my dear, means som eth in g th at has been handed down from father to son, she said.

Those Jolly Juniors Just as Good as Juniors ” Ct)t £§ ub=3fanior Cake VERY kind of student may be found in tbe midst of tbe Sub-Juniors. The class is like a huge cake; each, student bas kis or ber place. Tbe cake Miss Grinols and Mr. Burns laboriously made and preserved through tbe past year, was made from tbe following recipe : Gram Joe Stephens and Fay Merry together. Add a small quantity of Leonard Garry. Mix a small bit of Jane Davidson’s and Geraldine Fisher’s good natures. This mixture is tbe sweetening, and if used correctly is sure to give satisfaction. Prepare Arthur Wiedeman and Buster ’ Norman by stirring slowly together. Add a small quantity at a time, as it is likely to cause trouble if hastened. Sift Elsie Able, Hilda Jobnke, and Cyrile Van Duser; put in quite a bit of Arnold Gillette’s bubbling spirits. (He is tiny, but — oh my!) This preparation is to be used as tbe leavening agent. Take a small quantity of these two spices, Earl Hall and Victor Larson. Be sure to mix evenly with the mixture already prepared. Bake in a moderate oven for a short time. If this cake is made carefully, it is guaranteed not to fail or fall. If an icing is desired, mix the follow- ing together: Ella Rolston, Leonard Larson, and Ethyl Smith. A thin coating is sufficient. Ethyl J.

It's fine. ejaculated the young man. How much did you get, father? How much did I get? Why, what do you mean? How much what? Why,don’t you remember when the funny old man passed the money around? I only got ten cents. f -T . ' vVv ; ■ 'fr ' ©ff: ••• -' ■ :• � • rr. - - ' • v Cpisrtle to tljr opfjomores N the beginning the eighth grade created the Freshman class, which did enter into the portals of the House of Learning, now known as the 41 Tar-Paper Palace,” the third day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand one hundred and nineteen. Now it came to pass that a glowering ogre did meet us at the portals with a mali- cious smile. But ere long we came to know him for what he really is, the goodliest saint m all this House of Learning. And then it came to pass that our guardian angels who hovered over us during the first year of our stay m the House of Learning were Lillie and Mary (Misses Doerflinger and McEntee), but this year duty calleth them to other fields. Now it came to pass that during the first meeting of our second year in this H ouse of Learning, Charles and Daisy (Mr. Mattill and Miss Vorhis), spread their wings and fluttered in. And it further came to pass that our leaders during our first year’s sojourn were Marjorie of the House of Brown, and Bohemiel of the House of Vanek. Our second leader was William of the House of Kelly. Our scribes were Bessie of the House of Cook, and Biddy of the House of W asmansdorff. The trusted one who did manage our finances was Carl of the House of Peterson. And during the second year while we tarried in this House of Learning, our leaders were John of the House of Cox and G ene of the House of Crego. Our sec- ond leader was Gale of the House of Thomas. Our scribe was Dorothy of the House of Reeves. The one who did manage our finances was Willard of the House of Catlin. And on the sixteenth day of the fourth month of our sojourn, our class enter- taineth its honorable members, to which the most select of us did come. And then it came to pass that on the twenty-sixth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-one, did Johnny of the House of Kidneigh don long trousers. And now the tears falleth and sad hearts breaketh as the portals of this House of Learning closeth upon us; we who entered as green Freshman, tarried as bold, bad Sophomores, do now leaveth these grand and noble corridors, to return as reverend Juniors after a greatly needed rest from our labors in the Fields of Knowledge.

N my way to Canada early in the Spring of 1931 I visited Lewistown for the first time in several years, as I wished to buy some suit- able spring clothing at this great metropolis and oil center. I en- tered a beautiful modiste shop, which bore the name of u Ruth upon its plate glass windows. Wha t was my pleasure and dismay to find Ruth Lay, now Mrs. Carl Owen, the owner. Carl, she informed me, was away upon a lecture tour, and she was keeping the home fires burning as well as she could, during his absence. She told me that the Garry-Elliott and Company Shoe Store across the street was owned by Tom Garry and Raymond Elliott, respectively. The “ company, she told me, were Paul Pierson and Jewel Martin, who were minor owners in the won- derful shoe emporium. I dragged myself reluctantly from charming Ruth, and had a short stop with Elliott-Garry and Company. They in turn informed me that Bohemiel Vanek and his wife, who was Pluma Robinson, would soon return from Europe, where the y expected to give their marvelous violin entertainment for the king of Greece. I thanked them hurriedly for their advice, and, as I was walking swiftly from the store, I met Mr. and M rs. Roy Skinner. T discovered that she was Jennie Holland, and was just as saucy as ever. Roy had become very we althy when oil was struck on his ranch, thanks to the great geologist, Lorenzo Kizer, who was at the present time in Washington to visit his wife, formerly Caroline Crest. I bade them goodbye and, taking my purchases under my arm, hurried to catch my hydroplane, which was just leaving the hangar, and I soon was speeding thru the air toward Canada and home. Laura Estell. OOD fortune was mine the other day when I visited the new theater called “ Fergus County High School.’ Several plays were being' pre- sented, “ Seniors,” “Juniors,” “ Sophomores,” and “ Freshmen.” Of course the last name was the best. It has the largest and most intel- ligent cast of any of the plays. It was under the direction of Miss McHafhe and Miss Hathway. These two ladies, or stage managers, very cap able and the Freshmen class as a whole wishes to thank them for their guidance. Among the thrilling scenes m this stirring drama were, the first class party, the second class party, with its episode “ The Poor Miss Rich,” the Freshmen booth at the carnival, the freaks of the side-show, all the Freshmen prodigies in the orches- tra, and the Freshmen fashion show at the all-school party. These scenes were elaborately staged and the players played their parts very naturally. The drama, sometimes tragedy, but always some comedy, was divided in two acts. Each act depicted a semester of school work. The officers for the hrst semes- ter were: president, Alice Reuther; vice president, Richard Sherman; editor. Bob Apple ; secretary, Arthur Ball; treasurer, Emma Fergus; assembly committee, Vir- gil Morss; and sergeants-at-arms, George Smith and Ralph Munkers. The officers for the second act were : president, Alice Reuther (this speaks for itself) ; vice president, Manley Anderson; secretary, Arthur Ball (same here); treasurer, Emma Fergus (ditto); sergeants-at-arms, Leonard Wilcox and Edwin Dunn; assembly committeeman, Virgil Morss (this also speaks for itself) ; editor, Rich- ard Sherman (and this no less). The villain was Rudolph Flunk, and several students were unlucky enough to succumb to this terrible person. The same cast expects to present the following plays m the following order: Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, all at the same theater —the theater of ideas — Fergus County High School. Richard Sherman. FULLY PREPARED Danny was looking at a picture of the prophet, Elijah, ascending to heaven m a chariot of fire.

The follies. Long, Stapleton, Gregory, Colver, and Barney were the hits of the evening. To see them was to love them. Then that minstrel show by the Seniors ! The Bluebeard stunt given by the Sub- Seniors was one of the best. Then there was the mystery of the thousand vests enacted by Art Ball for the Freshmen. The other stunts were not ” so worse ” con- sidering. A grand march and ice cream cones cappe d the climax of the evening. The Carnival . The Seniors were the first to win the loving cup, offered for the best talented and remunerative stunt at the carnival, April 1. They took in more than $112. The receipts of the Sopbs were second, amounting to over $109. The total receipts were $809.80, while the expenses were small. Every one did his part. The big events were the Elks' Band concert, Kinder’s Symphony, and the minstrel show. Then there were the booths — where you ate and drank and were merry. There was a lunch room upstairs. Then there were thrills galore in the side shows strung out in all the rooms on the first floor. The high school was bedlam that night. Better Speech VPeek Better Speech week was celebrated the first week in November. The English department arranged the program; there were posters, and trials for crimes against good En glish in the class rooms all day. The Dramatic club gave the play 1 Almost Everyman.’ ’ Harold Vorh is and Lovelia McCune gave three-minute talks. The Short Course The winter course for students unable to do the full nine months’ work began November, and lasted until April 1. Classes were organized in business, home economics, agriculture, and gas engine departments. Farmers Week One thousand people took advantage of the Farmers’ course held January 29 to February 5. Farmers from all parts of the county, and th eir wives, were in attend- ance. The teachers of the school m co-operation with teachers from the State col- lege at Bozeman, and townspeople succeeded m making this the best of the five courss of its kind ever given at Fergus. Special courses, open meetings, and enter- tainments were held. Night S ession The halls and classrooms of the high school were taxed this fall when open house was held for the citizens of Lewistown, and the parents of the students to see the school in action. The morning classes were held in the evening. New Idea for Class Parties A social committee for the purpose of planning and making a definite program of all social activities and entertainment was first formed in the school this year. The members were Miss McCulloch and Miss von Tobel. A new custom insti- tuted by the committee is that the Senior class party each semester take prece- dence over all others, and so on down the line to the Sub-Freshmen. The Farm Play During Farmers’ week one of the most anticipated events was the farm play. This year three short plays were given. The first was a curtain raiser, “ Thumbs Up.” The cast was as follows: { Simon....................Lyle Mondaie Eva........................ Eva Seaver George......................Paul Breese Frank....................William Trask Mary...................Isabel McKenzie Harry....................Harold Vorhis In direct contrast to tkis was tke playlet, “ Wrong Numbers,” with Rutk Munk- ers, Loretta Hall and Florence Carr as tke actors. Botk of tkese were very interesting and tke ckaracters wrell portrayed. Tke mam interest of tke evening centered on Zona Gale's play, ” Tke Neigh- bors. Tkis is a rural comedy witk real keart interest. Here we saw real people, eack one engrossed witk kis own affairs and yet ready to kelp eack other, in a spirit of true neighborliness. Tke c ast of ckaracters was as follows : Grandma...................Elizabeth Jenkins M is’ Abel.....................Audrey Heffner Ezra Willi ams................. Dale Eunson Peter.........................George Stilson Mis’ M oran..... .............Alma Ped erson Mis’ Ellsworth..........................Helen Reeves M is Abel was surely a type of a good housewife, and she showed her executive ability in helping solve Mis’ Ellsworth’s problem. Everyone felt sorry for tke blushing Inez and bashful Peter and rejoiced at tke happy ending of their difficulties. One of tke most difficult parts was that of Grandma, and this was charmingly played by Elizabeth Jenkins. Mis’ Trot with her troublesome cricket, Mis’ Moran with her rheumatism, and Ezra with kis cord wood eack represented a selfish type, and yet were so ready to kelp Mis’ Ellsworth and tke baby. Tke music department also helped with tke entertainment for tke evening, tke girls’ glee club and tke orchestra eack giving several numbers. The Jyiay Fete Tke crowning of tke May queen, Spring, opened tke May Fete held at tke city park commencement week. Tke queen was chosen from among tke Senior class, and her identity was not known until her appearance. After tke crowning of tke queen, interpretative dances were given for tke queen’s pleasure. Then dances of joy were made by tke flowers, and tke people rejoiced to see Spring return and exemplified their joy m folk dances, suck as tke Irish Lilt, tke Flemish and Danish dances, and Greek girls playing ball. A solo dance, Pierette, was given by Mar- jorie Sutter. Tkese dances, which showed grace, practice and skill, were given under tke supervision of tke physical education department. A wonderful fellow was Burke, In football he never would shirk, And m basket-ball, too. He was always true-blue, And ke never fell down in kis work. “ ustianbsi on gpprotml,” tfje Mentor Synopsis ANCY GLOVER, a girl twenty years old, has receved proposals of marriage from four different men in the course of one evening. Knowing little or nothing of the domestic habits of her collection of suitors, Nancy decides to place them on probation for one month. During this period the men are to remain as guests at her home, that she might the better know their characteristics. In the begin- ning Nancy's family was not in sympathy with her scheme, but on being presented to the gentlemen in question,they give immediate acquiescence. So it came to pass. M any humorous situations enter in this peculiar plan. But the play ends hap- pily for everyone. Three of the suitors find through their admiration for Nancy that each of them has become acquainted with a far more beautiful damsel than Nancy herself. Nancy finds that the fourth suitor, whom she has unconsciously loved all the time, is really the one Cast of Characters Audrey Heffner, as Mrs. Glover, as usual makes an ideal mother and would naturally fall in love with such a home-loving individual as the colonel, played by Paul Breese. Who would suspect Norma Hanson as being as snippy as the character she played, Rita Glover? She certainly did coax Hamilton Seaver to transfer his affec- tions. Hamilton Seaver was played by Marion Burke. And who would suspect Don Shepherdson of being as fickle as the part he plays, Dick Fitzgerald, who wins the heart of Catherine, an Irish colleen, played by Margaret Hedrick? Nancy herself, Lillian Imislund, who brought about all this 14 weal and woe, was one moment charming and the next a most contrary miss, wh ich is quite per- missible for her sex. It was this vanity that kept the heart of Bob Nenon (George Stilson) steady and true; if he couldn't have Nancy he didn't want anyone. Woven in, and out, and 'round about was the spirit of youth, especially in the character of Sam Glover (Emery Gibson), with happy-go-lucky ways, his humor, his boyishness and his slang, ready to give his blessing to any who desire it or not. The scene of the proposals would have been funny in themselves but Mr. Vratz (Dale Eunson) added enough to make each and every person a screaming farce and especially the most serious of all, Bob Denon. This is the first play of its kind ever given by a Senior class in Fergus High, Miss Ebert deserves a great deal of credit for her supervision of this play. Indeed, it is through her efforts that the players did so well. The whole class gives her a vote of thanks. Oh Agnes was silent, demure, Her innocence oft did allure ; 'Where no teacher was found Merry mischief would sound, But her nineties were alwrays secure. Jfergus bespians IISS HELENE EBERT of the public speaking department organized the Fergus Thespians, or the Dramatic club, this year. This society tends to promote drama in the school and community by developing a taste for good drama. The club has taken up a study of morality plays, Shakespearean, and the modern drama, Thr ee plays, Th umbs | Up, Wrong Numbers, and Rural Neighbors, were given by the Thes- pians during Farmers week. Most of the success of the club is due to the sponsor. Miss Helen Ebert. The officers were also well fitted for their positions. They were: president, Margaret Hedrick: vice president, Harriet Allyn; secretary, John Pierce; and on the pro- gram committee were George Stilson, Anna Trask, Lawrence Warden, Dale Eun- son, a nd A melia Fergus. W()t in 19 Club The Hi Y was organized three years ago for the high school boys. At first the club was small, but now the membership has increased to a large number. This organization helps the boys a great deal by developing the four sides of their char- acters : the mental, the physical, the social, and the moral. The meetings are held every two weeks m the barracks. The boys usually have a “ feed ” of sandwiches, coffee, ice cream, and cake. The programs are very well planned; they always include addresses by members of the faculty, or business men of the town. In April the club had a Father-and-Son banquet. The fathers realized that the boys could cook as well as talk. The affair was a marked success and helped to bring the fathers and sons to a better understanding. The success of the club this year is largely due to the officers, who are: Wil- liam Trask, president; Arthur Van Noy, secretary; Eugene Crego, treasurer; and Kenneth McMillan, Fergus reporter, Hi)t iSormaltte Club The normal training girls organized the Normalite club for the purpose of dis- cussing questions that confront the rural school teachers. During the year they had several “little girl parties. The officers of the club were; president, Ger- trude B road; vice president, Emma Barrows; secretary, Ruth Thomas; and treas- urer, Ethel Seaver. Cbe footer Clubs The Rooter clubs were organized again this year and were “ peppier than ever before. The old cheer leaders led the cheers during football season, but at the close of this a new election was held. “ Barney ” Hogeland was elected cheer leader of the boys, and Amy Moltzau of the girls. The presidents of the two clubs were May- nard Stapleton and Amy Moltzau. At the close of the football season the Girls'1 Rooter club gave a “ feed for the football men: a good time was enjoyed by all. The Rooters are the boys and girls of the high school who are ready and will- ing to back every school activity. They have the pep and the spirit to boost things and it is hoped that next year will give rise to as many “ peppy students as this year. Let us always have a Rooters' club, and may always that old yell ring forth from old F. G. H. S. : Oski Wow Wow, Wiski Wi! Wi Holy Muckie Smash 'em Fergus High Wow!

It was his first visit to the city, and the young man showed him all the sights concluding with an ascent of Mount Royal.

The equipment equals that of many small conservatories, ten pianos being in use : four in studios, four in practice rooms, one in the gymnasium, where student assemblies are held and programs given, and one, the fine concert grand in the study hall, where recitals and class lessons are given. Mr. Jesse Ewer, head of the department, has a large class of enthusiastic vocal students, as well as being director of the orchestra of twenty-two pieces; the boys' glee club of thirty-six; the girls' glee club of fifty; and the opera club, whose mem- bers are made up of the boys' and girls' glee clubs. In the piano department two piano teachers are kept busy from eight-thirty in the morning until five-thirty in the afternoon. Then not all who desire lessons are given the privilege of instruction. Glass lessons are given twice weekly, at which students play the pieces memorized, and prepare them for public recitals. Several very fine public concerts of piano music have been given at which two and three pianos were used for ensemble work. Students in the violin department are taught in the home studio of Mrs. Janet Thielke. This department has doubled in enrollment from last year, and the pupils are very popular in all high class entertainments. The work in these different departments is far-reaching throughout the coun- try. Wherever the request is made, advanced students go sometimes a distance of thirty and forty miles to help upon community programs. Besides the vocal, piano and the violin instruction given, advanced students are given harmony and pipe organ. The musical history class meets every morning at nine o clock; Mr. Ewer, as teacher, creates a lively interest in music. One morning wee kly is spent in musical appreciation and current topics, keeping the students in touch with the outside musical world. Miss Kenny’s Studio The Orchestra m tEfje JftEmkrSfjtp Splendid work has keen done by tke Orchestra this year; it kas a memberskip of twenty-two students. Tke quality of tkeir work was excellent. Tke orchestra played an active part in tke program during Farmers’ week, accompanied tke operettas, which greatly added to these productions, gave a con- cert of music which displayed the ability of the students participating, and the training they have had thi s year. Besides these mam appearances, they have assisted in other programs. The membership is as follows : First Violin Marjorie Brown Pauline Dugart Ruth Tyler Olive Strickland Clifford Dobson Bud Day Leonard Garry Carl Owen Second Violin Mildred Barta Gertrude Fisher Sarah Mershon Regina Leiter Catherine Laux Marjorie Spaulding Kathleen Nangle Grace Pennock, Manley Anderson, Saxophone Robert Haggerty, Clarionet Arnold Gillette, Drum Bohemiel Vanek, Cornet Niles Westcott, Flute Thomas Garry, ’Cello Piano Wi)e ©pera Cluh The Opera club is made up of the members of the girls’ and boys’ glee clubs. This has be en their second year and remarka ble work has been done. Two hne operettas, ” The Merry Milk-Maids,” and Yokahama Maid,” were staged, with full orchestra accompaniment. 1 The Merry Milk-Maids ” was given at the Judith theatre. Both operettas were of great success, giving the highest of credit to both director and performer. The accompanist was Grace Pennock. L.OVZ SALUTE, RUTH, REAL SPORT SAME OLD. PALS COMEDIANS SOPH.

Half pjQSftiN Punchers STAR MAfJ E TT OP Wf y i L- jfergus Mins tZTfjirb ipace— tate jfootfaaU tZuitle OOTBALL was revived this year in a manner that seems almost im- possible. After practically being out of tbe game for three years, Fergus succeeded in ranking third in the state. At the beginning of school last fall there were no prospects for football. No games had been scheduled, but Coach Holste advised the boys to start practice and he would try to get some games. After talking it over among themselves, the boys decided to start practice until it was seen whether or not some games could be secured. Even then things looked bad; not enough were out to make good scrimmage, and part of the time not enough turned out for one com- plete team. Most of the veterans from the year before were out, with the addition of some new men who had played before, making competition for places on the team. About this time games were scheduled with Harlowton, Hobson, and Stan- ford. Some games increased interest, and the size of the squad increased, until there were more than enough for two teams. Before the opening game with Harlowton, the team and its most ardent sup- porters were not feeling very hopeful. The previous week had been fair week, and no one had been out to practice; besides, there were only a few signals and part of the team did not know them well. Last year Fergus defeated Harlowton, 6 to 0, in a very hard fought game. This year they were said to have some new men; besides this, they had played several games already. Fergus went into the game with a punch and the determination to win, and scored the first touchdown of the game after only a few minutes of play. From then on it was a walk-away. Har- lowton never got down in our territory. The final score was 59 to 0. The second game was with Hobson. They are our old enemies, defeating us last year by a very narrow margin. The whole team was determined to even things up, with the result that the final whistle found Fergus with 40 points against 7. Hobson's single touchdown was won on a blocked kick. The last home game of the season was played with Stanford, This was another victory for Fergus, by the score of 74 to 14. Second team men were used in this game and it was after the substitution that Stanford made the two touchdowns. The first game away from home was played at Harlowton, with another victory, 48 to 0. The following week a trip was made to Stanford. In spite of the fact that the field was wet and slippery, Fergus ran up a score of 46 against Stanford s 0. A week before the final game on the schedule, a wire was received from Miles City asking for a game there. The following Saturday, Hobson was played again, and they were settled for good with a score of 99 to 0. The following Monday a telegram was received from Anaconda inviting the winner of the Miles City-Fer- gus game to play there Thanksgiving day. The trip to Miles City was a hard one, since we arrived there at 12.30 at night. Before this game it was the general opin- ion over the state that Fergus would not be able to win. In spite of the long trip and the strange field, Fergus came out on top of a 6 to 3 score, m one of the hard- est fought games played in the state this year. The invitation to play at Anaconda wes declined because the team would not have time to get in shape. This ended the 1920 season and prospects for next year are fine. Only three men from the team graduate this year, and with this foundation to start with, Fergus should easily take the championship of the state in 1921.

They waited until midnight,— then started to do the job. -if In order to get the money they had to pass the farmer’s bedroom. Mike said. I’ll go first, and if it s all right you can follow and do-just the same as I.” Mike started to pass the room. Just as he got opposite the door the floor creaked. This awo ke the farmer, who called out, Who’s there? ” Mike answered with a ” meaow! (imitating a cat). The farmer s wife being awake, too, said, “ Oh, John, it’s the cat,” and all was quiet. Now Pat started to pass the door, and as he got opposite it the floor creaked again. The farmer called out again, louder than before, “ Who’s there?” Pat answered, ” Another cat.” SENT TO HER A lady and her little daughter were walking through a fashionable street when they came to a portion of the street strewn with straw, so as to deaden the noise of vehicles passing a certain house. Wflat’s that for, ma? ” said the child, to which the mother replied, ” The lady who lives in that house, my dear, has had a little baby girl sent her.” The child thought a moment, looked at the quantity of straw, and said : Awfully well packed, wasn't she, ma? ” NO CART ALONG The girl walked briskly into the store and dropt her bag on the counter. ” Give me a chicken,’ she said. “ Do you want a pullet? ” the storekeeper asked. “ No,” the girl replied. ” I wanta carry it. EXPLAINED “ Waiter, this coffee is nothing but mud.” “ Yes, sir, it was ground this morning.” CELEBRATED COME-BACKS These will always come back: bad checks, drowned cats, freckles, gossip. ppp 'Wi:- j Mid-Summer Madness Uutnpm f?tp Jfergus KKtns Cfnrb ipace m ©(strict HIS was a big year for basket-ball at Fergus. Tke first team bad a big schedule, and tbe different classes all bad good teams. The game was well supported by tbe town and student body, which was a great help. Things looked unusually bright at the beginning of the season. Sorenson was the only letter-man from last year’s team who was missing. The first game of the season was played with the booting several long baskets near the end of the second half of the game they succeeded in winning, 15 to 10. The next game was with Teton, and m the hardest fought contest played on the home floor this year, Fergus won 28 to 22. A week later Fergus was defeated by Butte in a poorly contested game. Dur- ing the game a mixup upon the floor broke up the team for a time. This was followed by a victory over Stanford with a wide margin. The first game off the home floor was played at Fort Benton, February 4, where the team was defeated 18 to 13 in a hard fought game. February 5, Butte was played, and for the second time this year Fergus went down to defeat before them, 20 to 11. The next week a trip was made to Teton. Here Teton more than evened up their defeat of earlier m the season by running up a 26-12 score. This was prob- ably the poorest game played during the season, due partly to the new team which had scarcely ever practiced together. The following night Belt was played, result- ing m another defeat for Fergus, 7-14. The last game before the district tourna- ment was with Roundup. By this time the team was doing good work and Roundup was an easy victim, 38-17. During the entire game Roundup only made two field baskets. Although the team lost about hali of the games played, it was a success- ful financial season. TheC ounty Tournament The County tourney was held in Lewistown the week following the district tournament. Seven teams came to take part in some close and interesting games, but Stanford very easily carried off first honors. Fergus did not take part. The standing of the other teams was as follows: Winnett, second; Roy, third; Moore, fourth; Hobson, fifth; Moccasin, sixth; and Grass Range, seventh. The Falls District Tournament The Falls district tournament was held at Great Falls this year. This was one of the biggest tournaments ever held in this district. Ten teams were represented : Fergus, Stanford, Great Falls, Fort Benton, Teton, Conrad, Cascade, Belt, Valier, and Judith Gap. Interest was running high, and some very close games were played. Fergus defeated Great Falls, Stanford and Conrad, but was beaten by Fort Benton, the district champions. The standing of the first five teams was as follows: Fort Benton, first; Teton, second; Fergus, third; Stanford, fourth; Cascade, fifth. The expenses of the first five were paid. Fort Benton and Teton were invited to the state tournament at Bozeman. Track Work Successful m every way was the track season this year; seven points were won at the Missoula meet. The inter-class meet was held April 28 and was the biggest one ever held by Fergus. There was friendly class rivalry m abundance; lilac and silver, blue and gold, pink and grey, and green and white mingled colors along the track at the side of the barracks. All classes had entries in every event except the Freshmen. The meet was won by the Juniors, with the Sophomores only D i points behind. The standing of the classes were: Juniors, 61; Sophomores, 59 yxi Seniors, 36y2; and Freshmen, 7. Qualifications for the state meet at M issoula were made in several events. From the winners m the different races a team is picked for the interscholastic meet. Four were sent to represent Fergus: Coon- rod, Cottam, Crego, and Gillette. The county meet was held at Lewistown again this year; contestants from the grades attended, with Fergus as their host.

YOUR mUFE pu,T M YOUR KIDDING Our Debaters jy JStgcu Ston Club HE Discussion Club of the Fergus County High School has had a very successful year. It was organized for the purpose of selecting' a debate team, and extemporaneous speakers. The club elected the following as officers : Alice Johnson, president; Ethel Seaver, vice president; Gladys Johnson, secretary and treasurer. One of the first accomplishments of the club was to select a debating squad of six members, namely: Margaret Spicer, Gladys Johnson, Helen Obee, Esther Carnes, Norma Holmes, and Alice Johnston. The squad staged small debates to develop a team to meet Winnett. However, Winnett gave Fergus the debate by default. Gladys Johnston, Esther Carnes, and Norma Holmes were then chosen from the squad to debate with Fort Benton. Fergus lost this match due to lack of experi- ence. Later Esther Carnes, Helen Obee, and Norma Holmes represented Fergus in a debate with Judith Gap at that town. The locals were again unfortunate and lost the decision. Extemporaneous Work The second accomplishment of the Discussion club was to select Wilson How- land as delegate to the extemporaneous speaking contest at Great Falls. Although Wilson was thoroughly prepared on current topics, he did not win any honors. The Discussion club is a training school for speakers and debaters for Fergus for the coming year. There is but little doubt that the Fergus County High School will again come to the front in public speaking work in another year. ©edamatorp Wiovk The th ree upper classes put seven contestants m the declamatory contest this year. Harriet Allyn, a Senior, won first place, and Lillian Imislund, another Senior, was given second place. The other candidates were Norma Hanson, La Vyrne Hanson, Catherine Maxeiner, and Alma Pederson. Harriet Allyn represented Fer- gus at the state contest at Missoula, and was awarded first honors. Where will you be at sixty-five ?

This room on the right is Mr. Cummings' office where some of the boys, and girls, too, sometimes are jerked up. That's slang for ' bawled out.' The door across the way is the teach- ers' restroom. The second door on your left leads into the mam office with Miss Ruth Balcke as commander-in-chief. Here's where the delinquent people come every morning for tardy slips, which costs them 45 minutes after school. Of course they are mostly Freshies and Sophs. The Juniors come later, too, k to get theirs ' for skipping. The Seniors never skip; at least, they never get caught at it. 'v The big room with the double doors, number 11, is the study hall (in name only). Almost all the teachers take a hand at keeping order m there. Now, if you 11 turn to the right I'll take you down through the foreign language depart- ment. The first room, 4, is Miss Hattie Brown's. She teaches Latin. Room 5 is a consultation room. Ask some of the Juniors about it. Room 6 is Miss Ashton s. She teaches the language that is often more foreign to us than any other—English. Miss von Tobel is the Spanish instructor. “ Hablas espanol? asks this same pub- licity board sponsor. Room 8 is Mr. Ewer's. He gives vocal lessons and endures the efforts of the glee clubs. The rooms across the hall are all practice rooms with the exception of one. Ye gods, it doth amaze me, the noise that those people make. When three or four pianos are going together with several violins and two or three vocalists — well, words fail me. “The one exception that I spoke of is the girls’ rest room. Here the girls go to rest? Oh no ! — to powder their noses, and fix their puffs of nets (not fish). “ How you clo, Mr. Cummings? “ Well, we might as well wander along and take in the upstairs. Be careful — don’t stumble] Catch hold of the rail. It’s a little slippery. George and Dale slide down quite often. There now, here we are — puff ! puff] Room 53 is Miss Kenny’s and 54, Miss Huston’s. They are the piano instructors. Just take a peek into 53. Isn’t that cozy — rugs, wicker furniture, grand piano and all? Across the hall is Mr. Greene’s room. He teaches math, and the intricacies thereof, as do Mr. Turner, 51, and Miss Betty Brown, 50. (Those figures do not refer to their ages.) ” Then 49 is merely another consultation room, while 48 is ’ Daddy ’ Crego’s. He teaches history, and he does have an awful time with his Senior classes. One day he had to keep a whole class m after school because Mark threw Lillian’s book out of the window, and Margaret Kelly pulled Bud Day’s hair. Bud thought it was time to yell. He yelled and consequently was heard by Mr. Crego, who forthwith and immediately lost his good nature and punished everyone. ’’Then this is ’Jimmie ’ Winslow’s room. We don't call him that to his face. His history classes are very decorous. Mrs. Snow’s (M iss Salisbury that was, and ain’t) is room 46. She is leader of the normal training department. See that girl in there? Well, that’s Ruth Thomas. She’s going to be a teacher. Poof kids. Room 45 is Miss Rundle’s. Parlez- vous francais? This room was Miss Ashton’s, but she, as teacher of the ’ babies,’ or ye Freshies, had her rooms changed to 6 on the first floor because the poor little things couldn’t climb the stairs. Then here is Mr. Burns’ room (oh, no relation to Bobbie). He teaches applied arts and mechanical drawing. He also has another room farther down the hall. Room 43 is Mr. Freeman’s. He teaches commercial geography, general sci- ence and physics, and he also dabbles in oil. The next room, 42, is Mr. Warner’s. He teaches chemistry, and also college algebra. There are four Seniors taking the latter, and such trouble as they cause the poor man. Wilson never gives any trou- A Corner of the Library ble except he knows too much. Bill never understands, and Claude talks all the time,— that is, when I’ll let him. “ We can go right through the chem lab into Miss Doerflinger s room. She teaches biology to the Freshies. She takes them young and trains them well. Now right across the hall is Mr. Burns’ mechanical drawing room. Well, we have finished our inspection up here; let’s take in the English rooms on the first floor. Take two stairs at a time, please; it keeps the steps from wear- ing out. Room 15 is Miss Ebert’s. She is head of the public speaking department and is also coach for all plays. Poor woman, she was 1 drove to death ’ with the Senior play cast. 1 There comes Mr. Cummings. How do I know? Why, don't you hear him cough? He always does that before turning a corner. Otherwise he would have too much on his hands. He has the office full of students as it is. There, he turned in some place, so all is well. Now room 16 is Miss Vorhis’s; 17,— that one is Miss Trost's — but she loves the library. She has plants there an everything— and she'll accept pictures if the public gives her any to decorate the walls. Room 19 is Miss McHaffie’s room. She is the ’ Fergus ’ sponsor. I'll bet she wishes she wasn't, but she's sure good for her position, I’ll say. kl Miss Sutherland has room 20. She's the assistant principal, an’ awfully nice. Room 21 is the Fergus room; at least it will be, when they buy some furniture to cover the b are spots. Now I guess I ve showed you everything here; let s go to the barracks via the gym. Oh no, this isn't a military school. That's just a pet name for the ’tar-paper palace.' See that man wth the glasses? Well, that’s Mr. Boland. He teaches short- hand and is also the truant officer. The latter office takes up most of his time, and he has the best times down town. Applied Arts Workroom There's Amy. She's some girl — an awful worker. I don’t know what we d do without her. And there's George Stilson — that tall guy—- er-a boy — she's talking to. “ Well, this ain’t gettin' no place. Here's the gym. Miss McCulloch and Mr. Holste are custodians. They even have shower baths there, and a plunge that has gone dry with America — so we won t stop there. “ Now here are the barracks. The business and domestic science departments are located here. I don’t know which room is which, but Miss O’Connor, Mr. Mat- till, Miss Hovey, and Mr. Underwood are the shorthand and typewriting, and bookkeeping teachers; Miss Olive Balcke, Miss Grinols, and Miss Hathway the cooking and sewing teachers. They're some merry trio — and cook! Just ask the hikers’ union ! I m sorry you fell on your nose — but you must remember it's dark in here, and the floor is uneven. It s wrell to crawl on your hands and knees until you are acclimated. I can just sail through now, although I do scuff my shoes a bit. There's Peggy Hedrick and Harriet Brunskill in the sewing room. They're getting to be some seamstresses — and some day I think they re planning on mak- ing trousseaux. The boys run around this place when in training; hence the beaten path — but not to knowledge. Well, I guess I’ve shown you everything now. Would you like to talk to some of the bunch ? All right, I 11 turn you over to Dale; he knows all the gossip. There he is, and that fellow with the k F ’ sweater is Marion Burke, the Senior class presi- dent, et al. They're swell kids. Don t thank me. I’ve sure enjoyed myself. Gotta class. I’m usually not so slangy. I’m sorry you're so quiet today. Come on over to the dorm for lunch — if you re hungry !

I fawncy, I mi ght; since I have so much musical ability inside my voice, I shall compel it to do gymnasium following the piano. You play, old deah. Before Archie is able to show his vocal ability, the telephone rings. Isabelle answers it; when she returns back to the room, she explains: “Oh Archie, dear, it's brother Bob. He's coming out tonight and is bringing a movie actress friend of his. He didn't say what her name was. “ Hum—I fancy she is one of those vamps that donate a Mary Garden expres- sion every time you look at her. Two hours elapse and Bob and the actress arrive. Why, it's Pickles, cries Isabelle. “ Are you the girl Bob is always talking about? “ Glad to see you, old fruit, says Archie. How's the pigs and chickens out to Lehigh? Oh! I forgot, pardon me, bah jove, old peanut, I forgot you were a star. Bally memory I've got, bah jove. Turns to Bob. Hello old choppie, how's the old boy? Dash it, Isabelle, there goes the phone. Archie answers the phone, but soon returns. “ Bah jove, old beans, it's old Fill-em-off Gregory. He’s just in from Glen- garry, and he's having a blooming time; the old bird’s in love. I asked the old bean for dinnah, eh Isabelle? ’ A short time later Gregory arrives. “ Hello there Archie, how are you? How'd’o Mrs. Well, if there ain't Bob, and how's little Pickles? “ Yes, folks, I' m m a fierce fix. I'm m love and the durn girl won’t have any- thing to do with me. She won’t either, till she gets her career. This from Gregory: “ Oh, I’ll see to the career part, says Bob, the great theatrical manager. I’ll give her a leading role in ' Rattle Them Bones.’ I suggest you try some of your soft, lovely expressions, says Archie. Try some melting looks on the deah lady, eh, old berry? In fact the little beast is a vixen but you know how a woman is, dash it, old egg. The old girl's got enough dashed cheek, all right. But just trust Isabelle and me. We will attach her for you. Wait, I must elope to the library and read up on such mattahs. After they are gone, Archie re-enters the room. u Dash it, old berry, what we going to do about the poor boy's love affair? He surely seems to have extreme breakage of the heart. One lives and learns. Not long after this, Archie enters the house in his golf togs. He finds Isabelle reading a magazine. Bah jove, old fruit, we're h’up against it. It’s time to propose and the poor fellow doesn’t know what to say or how to say it. What say? Dash it! Since I have been removed from suck trying situations as enjoying great pains in tke heart, I cannot comprehend tke immensity and monstrosity of tke situations. 'Pon my word, Isabelle, it's bally luck. Ha! I kave it. He shall prepare a proposal speech. I shall coach ’im, eh, Isabelle, old bean? ” Isabelle goes to tke library and procures a book on “ How to Propose. When they are reading it, Archie reports. ” Bah jove, it surely sounds interesting; what say to calling tke old boy up and giving him a few lessons in tke great art of oratory? Greg was summoned and he arrived somewhat perplexed hut it was not long until Archie had conveyed tke whole meaning to him. “ Pon my word, Greg, we've got a plan, and bak jove, I fawncy, you'll take to it all right, ek, old berry? It's this way; you're going to learn a proposal speech, don't ch' know? Tke idea struck Greg as a good one, so the two orators commenced work imme- diately. After Archie had outlined tke speech, Greg commences to orate; Archie, not pleased, breaks forth in a rather angry tone. Dash it, old lemon, get some pep into it. Now listen to me: Deah One, Deah- est of all clinging vines. I come to you with but one question — a question that is making the whole world hold its breath. Won't you, most Angelic of all Sea Sprites, Charmingest of all Butterflies; most Lovable of all Brunettes, won't you have me for your lawful husband? I love you above all earthly things, except my Camels.' Now, bah jove, that would win any girl's heart. Now, old apricot, you go on. Use lots of dramatic stuff. Try as he would Greg could not make the oration come. At last he decided to go. 41 ’Pon my word, old egg, 'tis all right. You must wander over again, Bully luck about this girl, eh what old chappie? Greg departed and Isabelle commenced to laugh. “ Bah jove, how can you laugh at that? Why, Isabelle, old deah, it's a serious mattah. Can't see what I can do, tho'. What say we go to the movies, eh old berry? The next morning Archie discovers in the scandal column of the morning paper that the actress Greg is in love with, has eloped. “ Bah jove, Isabelle, listen to the headline: k Popular Movie Star Elopes.' And bah jove, Isabele, it's Greg's girl. She dashes off with Count Wiazerasky of War- saw. 'Pon my word, that's a surprise. Wonder how old Greg is taking it. I fawncy he’s having extreme breakage of the heart. Let's run down to his apartment and find out about mattahs. They find the apartment empty and when inquiring they are told that Greg has left. Just as they are leaving, they meet Bob, who seems quite excited. What dy’ know about it? he shouts. First the durn chorus girl elopes with the count, and now Pickles and Greg have fled. Well bah jove, that is rawther discomfiting, says Archie. Dash it, old huckleberry. I thought Greg was after the now — Mrs.— Count and bally luck, the old chappie dashes off with the star in ‘ Cotton Socks.’ And to hoot, she's your girl, Bobbie. Ha! You with no girl, no star, no nothing. Of all the dashed cheek, dash it all. I find today is the day the old bean was going to propose to the now Mrs. Count Bloom — dash it. If today isn't the tomorrow I was worrying about yesterday, and bah jove something altogether different to worry about. 'Pon my word, Isabelle, old deab, I'm in need of something bracing. Well Bob, old tooth- pick, there’s nothing left to do but get a new star and vamp a new girl. Bah jove this is funny; that girl had more dashed cheek. Bally luck, eh what, old potato? Hmm, I say we go, eh, Isabelle? BIDDY GRl NS HEINZ VARIETY WELL-!

The story again takes up M ark at the age of thirteen. Through school he had made love (the girls didn't know it) to all the pretty girls in school. This was the night of the Freshman party. In a few moments the grand march was to start and Mark had failed to find a partner. Many of the other boys were apparently in the same plight, but suddenly Mark spied a beautiful girl across the hall. The sponsor rang the gong and told the boys to get a partner and so Mark wasn't long deciding who was to be his. Miss Doerflmger said, “ 1-2-3, go! ” The boys all rushed toward the girls, but within ten feet of them they stopped. Mark could feel his heart pounding against his ribs. If he only had the nerve. Oh ! she was coming toward him. His eyes fairly popped out of his head. She took his arm and they were off. The music started and down the floor they went. Oh ! if they could only dance, but Mr. Cummings said — well you know — so that settled it. After marching around the gym a while they went into the little cubbyhole and got an apple and a popcorn ball. Oh, what could be nicer ! This was quickly eaten and just then the curfew rang. Well, he had to go home now, Lucretia or no Lucretia, because when he left home his father said, Son, be sure you don’t stay later than nine-thirty. ' He made all kinds of apologies and told her he would take her home, but his papa told him he must come home at nine-thirty. So ended affair number one. Mr. Smith was a friend of Mr. Boor, and so Mark was invited to come out to Smith s ranch. As soon as school was out Mark went to the ranch, where Theo- dosia, Mr. Smith’s daughter, taught him how to ride horseback, Mark wasn’t at all awkward but only so much that he had to have a stepladder to mount. One Sunday afternoon Theodosia and Mark went riding, after successfully get- ting our hero on his steed. Theodosia asked him if he thought they could gallop. ” Oh, yes,” said Mark. Mark looked like a miniature Ichabod. His coat tails flew straight out behind like an ironing board. His legs and arms flopped like a tipsy hawk. Suddenly they turned a corner and Mark forgot to bank it, and instead of staying with the horse, he didn’t turn the corner and fell m a heap m the ditch. However, he only had a few bones broken and Theodosia, assisted by a girl friend, Mercedes, nursed him back to health and happiness. Theodosia went to school in Hobson, but Mercedes was a city girl from Lewistown, That fall Mark went back to school and Mercedes was m his class. Their friendship flourished and by skating time they were going together.” Mark was still a bit shy, but Mercedes had been m the game before. Ail she wanted to do was skate. She never would go to a show, so one night Mark took Diana to the show to see 11 The Queen of Sheba.’ Well, you all know how news spreads, and the next day a note came from Mercedes: 'Mr. Mark Boor: Our one-sided friendship is at an end. If you want to take the terrible Diana creature around with you, go ahead. I never want to see you again.' Well, anyway, what did Mark care, Diana was the prettier anyway. Things slid very smoothly with Diana for over a year. They used to go on dan- gerous hunting escapades for gophers. They often went to the show and one night during a love scene Mark made a dive for Diana’s hand. She let him hold it and the lr hands began to get warm. Then they grew hot, hotter, sweaty, slippery, and THEODOSIA MERCIDE5 LUCRETIA v -i :; •61X- LC 16 finally slid apart when Mark squeezed too hard. That was the beginning of his mushy Junior days. (Ask Agnes and Lyle; they can tell you more.) The Gods never meant this to be the final match so that summer a storm brewed. Diana was jealous of Mark and tried awfully hard to keep him from the clutches of some u baby vamp. That summer he learned to play golf and often went to the parties at the Country club. Here he met his very wicked school teacher who had him wrapped around her finger. Her name was Miss Gelatine. One day she brought a cuter little vamp out with her. The boys made a frameup with Miss Gelatine and her sister to get Mark out there and introduce Andrea, the younger vamp, as her sister. So it was arranged. Mark arrived on the spot quickly and immediately fell for Andrea. He asked her to dance and when he began to get personal she turned him down. As we all know, Mark has a very noble character and although Andrea did turn him down, he still felt as though there were other things to live for. His Se nior year went on nicely except for a few misfortunes such as flunking and having private talks with Mr. Cummings. On the tenth of June, 1921, when Mark was putting on his ” robe de noir ” and trying to make his cap fit and still look handsome, he had a strange feeling. Mark became very worried and asked himself Am I going to graduate? ” But this strange feeling indicated something else, as you will soon learn. Now we have been told that Mark was to fall in love six times, and June 10 was picked for the last episode. As Mark was sitting with his other classmates up m front of the gym, he glanced back and saw a lot of faces but one stood out among them. All he saw th e rest of the evening were large, luminous, brown eyes, dark brown marcelled hair, cheeks and lips that seemed to be the reflection of a red rose, a swan-like neck which rose out of a frilly white organdie dress. Then Mark heard his name called and he stepped up to get his diploma. As he reached out and clasped the roll between his hands he ” huv a sigh,” thinking that he would now have all summer to get acauamted with this wonderful girl. The rest of the evening he pictured hims elf and Lil a, as we shall call her, canoeing and dancing together. I shall leave the rest to your imagination, as you all know Mark’s ability to obtain anything he really, truly desires. Oh Buggs sure was bugs beyond doubt, Perhaps if he turned inside out You’d find him a lad In sense not so bad, But ’t would be on the inside, not out. Oh Lillian’s laugh we knew well, It rang out as clear as a bell, When oft dowrn the hall ’Fore we’d see her at all Of her coming, that laughter would tell. ■JIOPK HORTE SWEET HOME LAST yeAE • TW Y£AR. Dn mi ory Cfje planet of Bcatf) Edgar Alle-n Poe wrote stories you never forget; you’ll want to forget this -— but it will haunt you in your dreams. By the wi elders of large vocabularies and vivid imaginations, Robert Haggerty and Claude Sutter BuZ-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z-Z ! Sharply the sound grated upon our slowly returning senses. We sat up, dazedly gazing upon the ruins of the apparatus which had been our dream. The experiment had had a terrible culmination. Thinking to secure, by a proc- ess of our own invention, a possible source of electricity, we had on this particular night met m our little laboratory, and connected our aerials for the hnal test. Con- ditions were perfect, and our hopes high. Suddenly, from the two terminals, at either end of a ten foot table, a terrific sheet of flame had burst forth, hurling us senseless m a far corner of the room, while all our laboriously perfected instruments at the center of the table had been utterly consumed by the heat. As we regained the thread of memory we rushed to the table, where a gigantic spark played unceasingly from the terminals ten feet apart. Terrified, and shouting a warning to Don, who was approaching the table, I seized the switch and grounded the aerials. Instantly there was a flash of light- ning ; the lights went out, and then there was complete silence. As we groped for the door, a sudden weird cry broke the stillness of the night. There was another — this time in close proximity to the house, which stood a few rods from the laboratory, and this was followed by a terrified scream Rushing to the door, we were just in time to discern a dark figure running swiftly across the wide lawn, and Don, with his characteristic presence of mind, whipped forth his automatic m time to fire a couple of quick shots in the direction of the fugitive. We knew he was hit. Come on! he shouted, starting for the house on the run. “ Something’s hap- pened to the girls ! ” We dashed across the lawn and into the house. There we found them — Don’s bride and my own sweetheart — huddled against the door and staring at the wall opposite. In Dorothy’s hand gleam ed a small revolver, fitted with a silencer of my own design. She had, also, shot at the intruder, but no sound had reached us. Don caught Virginia who had fainted in his arms, while I plied Dorothy with questions. The wall! He appeared there and started towards us. Then that cry — oh it was terrible! He turned and started back, answering the cry with the same screams. I fired— and he disappeared! I hit him, I know, but he kept on going. He dropped — that! ” Following her finger, I perceived a small tube or stick of some kind, laying on the floor at the opposite side of the room. Picking it up, I found it to be covered with small protuberances, or buttons, which worked on concealed springs. Going to the window, I looked out across the lawn, and in pulling aside the curtains, I accidentally pressed one of the buttons. Hardly had I done so when there was a crash, and the window was shattered. The mysterious wand had power to inflict damage. Carefully pointing the instrument out of the window, I again touched the button, which was released by the action. The force which was flowing from its end, and plowing deep holes in the ground outside, immediately ceased. Then I began to experiment. Upon touching another, after several had been tried with varied results, I felt a strange sensation creep over me. I backed away from the window and into a table — into it, for I simply passed through it! Don was speechless, but the mystery of the passage of the intruder th rough the wall was cleared — or deepened, for the power causing the transformation remained unknown. I handed the mysterious wand to Don, who was immediately possessed of the same extraordinary powers as myself. We became elated over it. As we continued our experiments, there suddenly sounded a terrific crash, and dashing to the window we saw a dazzling streak of green light soaring skyward from the woods, and wonders of wonders ! —- heading for a dark planet which had appeared within a few miles of the earth’s surface. The girls could see nothing until inadvertently one had touched the wand, and lo ! it became visible. We had discovered the secret. Don, muttering unintelligibly, darted from the house and into the laboratory, where he stayed for some time. At last he appeared, carrying a black looking object, and darted in the direction of the light column. It was almost half an hour before he returned. Come on, Floyd ! ” he shouted frantically, I’ve made a discovery, and need help. Hurry up ! ” I dashed away at his command and was soon engaged m searching out certain electrical equipment from the debris on the laboratory floor. He worked with feverish haste. At last he completed his task and surveyed the result — a small metal box, thoroughly insulated with asbestos, and containing a bewildering intricacy of wire and devices of which I knew nothing. He closed the lid, and we started — to hear a scream, a crash, and see a few moments later, a second streak of light flashing upward wth a roar. Virginia rushed from the house to meet us, white with terror. She's gone. He took her! ” Then with a sob, she sank into his arms terrified. We knew the rest. The intruder had taken Dorothy and fled from the earth m his machine. Don gritted his teeth, and after reviving Virginia, we all started after him towards the wood. “I got one. There were three. We'll get them yet. Hurry up!” This com- mand was disconnected and almost incoherent, but we followed on, trusting entirely to him. At the edge of the woods, we came upon a huge rocket shaped machine. With- out a word, we all climbed in after Don, and closing the door, we started in pursuit. How Don had learned the usage of the mechanism — how he had captured the machine in the first place, or how we made the trip, I did not know, but as he moved a control lever, we crashed from the earth and shot upward. Our momentum carried us past the earth's covering of air and into that of the mysterious intruder, and soon we soared easily, and by this time noisilessly, to the surface of the new world that had approached too close to our own. We knew not why they had come; we could only guess it was a mission of conquest and subjugation on which they were bent. Jumping from the machine we si ghted a 1 arge stone building about a quarter of a mile away. From the :ae Piatio Record Is a Critical Test!

Blackford, Grant Robinson The most important event of your school life—graduation—is surely worth a portrait: to exchange with classmates, to keep the memory of school days. THE COULTER STUDIO (Official Photographers, ’21) lower right hand part a feeble light shone forth, and at intervals brilliant flashes appeared. We silently made our way to the building and peered in through one of the windows. The flrst thing we saw was a gigantic electrical machine, different from anything that has ever been invented on earth. Not a soul was m the room, so we went around to another window and looked in; Dorothy was huddled in a corner and several of the strange men were around her making threatening gestures. In a few minutes two of them left and went back to the machine in the next room. I wanted to rush m and kill all of the creatures there, but it would be death to any- one who tried to use strength against their uncanny devices. One thing was cer- tain— we had to conceal our machine before daybreak, or we would be killed within a few hours. We sped back to the airplane and with all possible silence started in search of a hiding place. Just before dawn we found a chasm about five miles from the house, and landed in the bottom of it. Don proceeded to conceal the plane the best he could, while 1 set out to scout around. The house could not be seen from the top of the chasm, and as far as we knew no other buildings existed on the planet. In a few minutes Don came up beside me, carrying the mys- terious instrument. We climbed to the top of the highest hill, that we might watch the movements of the Thorelians. (We had discovered the name of this mysteri- ous people while at the house.) About noon we saw a queer looking vehicle, with no apparent means of locomo- tion, draw up m front of the big stone house and let several men out. With the aid of my glasses I recognized one of the men as the one who had carried Dorothy off. This was the only thing of importance that we discovered during our whole dav of spying. J ust before dark we returned to the machine and ate a little lunch. Then we held a council of war. W”e decided that we must act tonight and not give the Thorelians a chance to learn of our presence before we had a chance to use our advantage. By the time we had completed our plan of attack it was almost pitch dark, so we started toward the house. When we peeked in the window of the room where he had last seen Dorothy it was entirely empty, so we opened one of the windows and crawled in. As we were about to open the door leading into the next room, we heard a muffled sob that seemed to come from beneath a pile of blankets m the corner. This sent a chill up my spine. We threw off the blankets and saw Dorothv on the floor, bound hand and foot. After wre had freed her she told us that the Thorelians knew of our pres- ence and that they were planning to kill us and all life on the earth tonight. She started to say something else when the door opened and in walked the creature that had kidnapped her. I was petrified, but Don leveled our uncanny instrument at him, and he leveled his on Don, almost at the same time. Immediatelv thunder- bolts struck the place ; a blinding flash came, then a crash, and everything went black. Wflen I came to, we were lying on the grou nd. The building was comp letelv destroyed and it wa only by some miracle of Fate that we were not killed. All that was left of the Thorelians was one man who was badlv torn but still alive. We did all we could to help him but it was useless——his life was slowly ebbing away. He finally told us tbat about a dozen inhabitants lived about fifty miles to tbe south, but tbat tbey weren’t as dangerous as the ones that we had already destroyed, as they did not have as many electrical devices. We also found out that the large machine that we had seen in the room was the one that they had intended destroying the Earth with, and that it was the only one of its kind in existence. The machine could take the static electricity out of the air and cause an electrical disturbance on the Earth that would change the poles, making a place in Argentina the North Pole, and the rest of the world to correspond with this. In doing this, all animal life would be killed. This wounded Thorelian said that his race was very old and advanced in science. There were no women or children on the plane t but they had found a way to renew a man’s youth, thus making him have an everlasting life, that is, unless he died an unnatural death. Their planet was dying, and for this reason they had wanted to capture ours. We took the Thorelian back to our plane and tried to nurse him back to life but he died within a few days. In the meantime the other people on the planet had discovered the destruction of their fellow men and their invaluable machine they had worked on for so long a time, but they were at a loss as to what had caused it. That night we muffled the engine of our plane and proceeded towards the dwelling place of the remnant of the Thorelians. By the directions given us by our Thorelian friend we were able to find the place in a remarkably short time. Don and I stole towards the house which was almost exactly like the one we had destroyed. Dorothy was left m charge of our machine. We entered the place at one of the rear entrances and stole quietly along through the halls until we came to a room where we heard voices. After hesitating a few minutes we burst in upon the astonished Thorelians. After binding each, hand and foot, we gave the place a thorough search, but found nothing that was really dangerous which these people had except an airplane like our own. We d estroyed it and all of the electrical apparatus that they had. Immediately after the destruction of a certain electrical instrument the plant lost its invisibility to the Earth people. Our work finished, we started to the machine and set out for the good old Earth. As we again stepped from the machine, we glanced upward at the dark outline of the sinister planet, and became aware of an unusual shifting taking place. While we still watched, Othorelia moved slowly away into space, disappearing into the void from which it came. We slowly entered the house, and weary and exhausted, retired for a much needed sleep. Perhaps an hour after I had dropped off to sleep, I was awakened by a fiendish intonation that shook the building from foundation to roof. I jumped out of bed in time to meet Don who had rushed to my door. We decided to investigate. Upon reaching the spot where we had left the machine, nothing remaine d but a crater of smoking rums at which a bright flame was already licking hungrily. Once there was a slight movement — but nothing more. Nothing now remains of the adventure but memories. Of Don's quick applica- tion of the ultra-violet ray, to which we owed our victory, nothing remains but praise. His resource to the spectroscope in the analysis of the mysterious power of these invaders had saved the world. The destruction of the air machine has never ceased to be a mystery, and will probably never be explained. At present, I am willing enough to forget the whole affair, for this planet of death very nearly cost me the life of my sweetheart, while now — well, I think my wife is quite content, and prefers me to the horrors of the Thorelians. A classy young fellow was Mark, But afraid to go home in the dark; And he'd often resemble The leaves all a-tremble If even a lapdog would bark. w- ♦ $ i! 4 ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ 4 4 4 ♦ ( 0 4 1 « I i !! 4 4 I 4 4 4 I 4 II 4 4 4 4 Commencement Gifts We have on display the most complete, attractive, and reasonably priced collection of commence- ment gifts of the city.

Pointing to a stack of green Castile soap he said: ” Oi want a lump o’ thot.” “ Very well, sir,'’'’ said the clerk. ” Will you have it scented or unscented? ” Oi’ll take ut with me,” said the Irishman. BRILLIANT Small Chap — 11 Say, papa, what is the race problem? ” Papa — ” Picking winners.” AN ANSWERED REQUEST Mrs. S.— “ Surely, Joh n, you haven’t brought any one home to dinner? Mr. S.— ” Sure I have. Haven’t you got anything' for them? ” 11 Why no, you told me you’d bring home a couple of lobsters for dinner.” So I have ; they’re m the parlor.” INEXPERIENCED A spunky little mule was trying to throw his darky rider and in kicking about caught his hoof m a stirrup, upon which the darky cried out in frightened tones, “ Say, if you’se gwine to git on. Use gwine to git off.” TOO MUCH COMPETITION Little Mary was saying her prayers at her grandmother's knee. Her grand- father was in the adjacent room snoring very loud. Mary stopped in the middle of her prayers, thoroughly disgusted and said: ” Grandma, I don’t see any use tryin’ to say my prayers. Grandpa’s snoring so loud the Lord can’t hear me anyway.” FROM FRONT TO REAR Tramp — ” Madam, I was at the front — ” Kmd-hearted Lady — ” My poor man. Another victim of that terrible war. Here’s a dollar. Tell me how you got into these straits.” Tramp — ” I was going to say that I was at the front door an’ nobody answered, so I came around to the back.” BITING My,” exclaimed Mr. Kdumsay at the ball, ” this floor is awfully slippery. It’s hard to keep on your feet. ’ Oh,” replied the fair partner sarcastically, ” then you were really trying to keep on my feet. I thought it was purely accidental.” FORCED SPROUTS May — ” I thought Jack was averse to wearing a mustache? Belle — ” He is, but he can’t help himself. M ay — ” How is that? ” Belle — ” He’s been evading prohibition by drinking hair tonic.” HUSKY SORROW Merry One — ” Cheer up, old man. Why don t you drown your sorrow?
