Fergus County High School - Fergus Yearbook (Lewistown, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 121 of the 1922 volume:

Fergus County High School e Spirit of Jfergus i We dream of a spirit — and that spirit is you, The spirit of Fergus -—- its gold and its blue. We turn the key m the door of our dreams. Yet, you slip away — far away it seems. II Oh Fergus, we love you, but must bid you farewell. To go out m life's open, to what fate none can tell, YouVe built the foundation of our peace in life. And we'll try to be faithful in turmoil or strife, III We'll miss the pleasant echo of an old, familiar laugh, And the always cheerful welcome of the students, teachers, staff. We'll miss the wholesome, good advice we daily let slip by, And we’ll miss the care-free happiness with a lonely, thoughtful sigh. IV But — no matter where we travel, or what honors we attain, We always will remember that to you we owe our fame. If we tour m foreign countries, m Egypt, Belgium, France, Your spirit still will follow wherever Fate may chance. V And so, perhaps, when we are old, we'll think of high school days, Of all the pranks we used to play, the cheers we used to raise. We can't explain it, Fergus, however queer it seems, But you'll be the biggest memory m our golden book of dreams. Ruth Clunkers.

In succeeding years the class of 1922 will make valuable contributions to the ranks of business men of their home community. This Annual may serve to keep fresh in your minds the memory of your school days when habits were being formed and character budded that will find expression in after years. In such support as the business inter- ests of Lewistown have been able to contrib- ute they have found both pleasure and profit to themselves. We join the other interests in our county in giving of ourselves to this splendid institution in the hope that it may grow and prosper, radiating its wholesome influence throughout the community. O.

Cummings, Principal “Principali jfte eiage In the Annual published by the class of 1918 there appeared the following trib- ute, entitled Our High School. But yesterday she stood intact, her gray imposing mass overlooking all the town. Her halls and rooms were filled with boys and girls and teachers. Her lab- oratories, shops and classrooms were well equipped. And now all these are gone and the walls — blackened, crumbling and stark — stand out against the sky. Yet our high school is not dead, for her foundation is not of stone. It is laid in the hopes and aspirations of the present and future boys and girls of Fergus county. Against such a base, no storms or fires shall ever prevail. Therefore, let us take courage and resolutely face the brighter day, when from the ashes, our high school shall rise again, more glorious and splendid, to give even a broader vision to those who then shall throng her rooms and halls. When these lines were written, dastardly incendiarism had caused gloom to enshroud the educational hopes of old and young, but through the depression there flashed the promise of a better day. That day has already begun to dawn. One- half of our new high school now proudly crowns the hill, and not many years will pass before the entire structure is completed. New departments, new students, new teachers now crowd the building. Each year ever increasing numbers, we are no more to teach, pass on. This year you boys and girls, nearly one hundred strong, will leave your Alma Mater. I say boys and girls, for when three score and ten years have come to you, if you have lived aright, you will be glad to have your friends say that health and peace of mind have kept your hearts warm; that you wear no brow of gloom; are not borne down with age, but still, in heart, are boys and girls. When these years come, and may they come to all, the tide of time will fall back and tell you of your schooltime days, when the fair, the kind and the true found life, but the false heart found no friends, no tongues to praise. These days bring rich gifts to age, and when you shall cease to think of them, your fire has burnt low, and your light has gone out. You have been taught here m the hope that the Fergus County High School will help to make you of use to your friends and to the world; will give you faith m all that is good and true; make you wage war on all that is bad, and lead you to seek work ; for this you must seek and do if you would have a good name, wealth, a home, a charge to keep, or a trust to serve. May you go forth with a bold true heart to seek the work you are to do, mindful that the hours of work run through each day and that God's great law of life is m the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread. The things worth doing are all shot through with threads of golden light, the light of mind and art, which shines each day more brightly and dims all the old by some new found light as the years go by. Some of you may hope for fame, but if you doubt that God rules, have not trust and faith, you may well fear your fate. New books, not old coins, keep charge of fame. Look well to books, for through them the world's best thoughts and deeds now speak. In all the walks of life good folk are found. They own the real world and do all its best work. The right start at the right time is the main part of what there is to Well done at last. In the words, Well Done, as you pass out and on, your Alma Mater , whose strength lies in results that flow from such as you and those who are to come, now gives you Godspeed through all the years. F. L. CUMMINGS, Principal THE ANNUAL STAFF Above is a picture of the Annual staff, Who worked both day and night On pictures, notes, and writeups, too, So they’d turn out our Annual just right! We see the shining face of Trask, Who cured the paper's ills. While Art and K. ” collected coin To pay up all the bills ! Ethel exchanged with other schools, And gave them our paper’s views; Ellery wrote the literary dope. And Zelda recorded society news! Alma was Bill’s little helper, And debate was told by Helen. “ Dobbie ” wrote up the features, While Crego Senior news kept tellin Miner wrote of athletics. And to this a word I’ll add — Together they made the best Annual Old Fergus has ever had. M. A. 5, H.M. ANNA YON TO BEL Spanish .JOEL .1.

THER da ars have at the time of their passing out left histories and written accounts that explained their many good points and expounded at great length their good deeds and many victories. They have told the world of their honors and have left no stone un- turned m searching for something that will further the good name of their class. Now in the beautiful spring season it comes time for the class of 1922 to leave its home, to scatter out, and make its mark in the world. For four long happy years its stalwart sons and fair daughters have been a unit, working for the betterment of the school and the gaining of honors and glory for its name. For four long years it has worked m gaming its glory, and its accomplish- ments are many and varied. Other class historians will tell of our defeats, but although defeated, we were never beaten. Any attempt to enumerate and explain all our achievements would be a task impossible m the time and space allowed. Four yeras have passed since we came together for the first time. We were distinguished by being the largest Freshman class ever enrolled up to that time. Our home was the barracks and its many halls and rooms so confused us that for the first semester we were unable to find ourselves. However, the winter months came and passed, and the warm sunshine of the spring gave us courage and confi- dence. We began to realize our strength, and the ciass warriors gave the upper classes a rude shock by taking into its own keeping the honor of winning the inter- class track meet. The summer vacation came and went and in the month of September we came back, not so many m numbers, perhaps, but full of the courage that is impossible to suppress. The victory m track had given us hope for further victories. We responded to the call for football candidates, and by perseverence and constant practice four or five of our classmen were able to land positions in Mr. Holste's experimental football team. In basketball.one man was given a place on the team. At this time we were beginning to attract attention. We were to be reckoned with m any activity in which the school engaged. As Juniors we were still more resourceful, and the most important events of the school were either controlled or won by the class of '22. The strongest men on our athletic teams were Juniors. The sweetest singers m the glee clubs and the High School operetta were also Juniors. There were Juniors taking part in every- thing, and everything owed its life to the Juniors. As Seniors we won every con- test of importance that was held. The football and basketball teams owed their strength in a large part to Seniors. The Fergus was edited as it had never been edited before. The school respects its Seniors and the Seniors respect the school. We draw near our death with brave hearts, knowing full well that when we are gone the walls will echo and re-echo with the phrase, They're gone but not forgotten. Our honors are many but they will not end. Each individual will make his mark in life, and every mark will be an added laurel. As a unit we started on our career, and as a unit we will leave only worthy deeds and never ending friend- ships behind. Hobart Miner. He stuttered and sputtered till I thought he d die; He chewed on his fingers ; he pulled at his tie ; Say, dearie, I've something to say: Er — would you — er, could you — er, darn it, anyway.” At last he stammered with all his might, “ Will you go to the show with me tonight? ” She smiled her sweetest and nodded her head. What time shall I call for you, dear? '' she said. Mentor |3aem of ’22 Blessing’s on thee, Senior class, All good things must surely pass. Though our high school days are done —■ Four years’ study, four years’ fun — We will ne’er forget your past. And your memories will last In the mind of everyone Through the years that are to come. We came here Freshies, green as grass. But now we’re quite a famous class, Due to our store of knowledge great (?) Acquired at Fergus, the best m the state.

Blessings on thee, high school days, Back upon thee we will gaze. Now our four years’ course is done. And our life work we’ve begun; Whether it brings us smiles or tears, W e’ll not forget in later years. All our happiness and joys When we were Senior girls and boys. James Howland,, ®f)e Class ®2M, a Miottljlcss Document We, tKe most worthless, good for nothing, irresponsible, heart broken human wre cks ever called Seniors, before leaving our dear old Fergus Hugh, do as a last act of gratitude, will and bequeath our store of brains and good for nothing ideas which we have accumulated during our four years of workless study, to our friends and successors to help these poor folks build up a real store of golden knowledge in an easier fashion than we succeeded in finding. We've thought and thought of what to leave. And what to take, So the class as a whole This will could make. Just what to leave we didn’t know. But we’ve done our best, and so — To the students in general we leave our good wishes and our pull ” with Mr. Cummings.

Mentor Clas flropfjetp N a small country store, away off in the sticks, a man sat with a peck of hickory nuts and a hammer before him. While he was thus en- gaged, the door opened and a little boy entered, bearing a letter m his hand. On opening it Hugh Cottam (for he it was of the old class of '22) found it to be a ' round robin that had reached him last. It had been started in Lewistown by Ruth Symmes, who was now hash slinger in the Sing Hie restaurant. From there it had traveled to Cheadle, where Ruth White was occupying the dignified position of postmistress of the new little log cabin post office they had erected there recently. She in turn sent it on to Glengarry, where Kathleen Nangle added the valuable information that she had j just been promoted to captain of the Salvation Army there. Again it was sent on its way, and then m Zion City it was dropped m a little cigar box which served as a mail box, but alas! it was not fortunate enough to rest long, for m a few minutes a little fair haired, dirty faced boy came running out, and with a sticky little hand which had recently held an all day sucker, he grabbed the letter and ran back to the little cottage where Esther Dahl, the wife of a Zion Luth eran minister, was m earnest conversation with another member of the class of '22, Inez. Powell, who was trying to persuade her to buy a Blue Jay corn plaster. After telling what they now were doing, they sent the letter on, this time to Agnes Combs, now M rs. Dan R. Skull, living m Belt, Montana. In this city we find Harold Vorhis, who has recently been given the honor of being the best street cleaner in the State of Montana. Here also we find our old friend Lyle Mondale, busily shining the shoes o f M rs. Ray Schloemer, formerly Betty Hedrick, to the tune of that familiar, soul inspiring air which used to float thru the halls of Fergus High —“ Mr. Moo n.” This town seemed to be the home of several of our old schoolmates, for just as Mrs. Schloemer finished reading the last name, a rumble of cart wheels was heard outside and Lyle, glancing out, saw Allen Briscoe, the dog catcher, going by. From here the round robin went from place to place, locating Vernon Irish as traffic cop at Heath, and Don Creel, a wealthy bootlegger, in St. Paul. Meredith Norman was found to be the director of a brass band m Pekin, China. Some of the star players are May Jones, using the famous mouth-organ for an instrument: May- belle Wilson on the comb, and Ellise Jordan on a very popular Chinese instrument. Ruth Nicolls said that she was following the profitable line of shop lifting. She first learned the trade stealing cat naps in Daddy Crego’s history class. Helen Wilson was intending to make her fortune when she finished crossing peaches and milk weed, which would, of course, produce peaches and cream. The letter next stopped at Ringlmg Brothers circus, and lo and behold! we find our friend Bob McKenzie as tight rope walker, Lovelia McCune as cow girl m the Wild West show, Ebert Gordon as clown, and Roslyn Svoboda as a famous snake charmer. From there it traveled to the distant city of New York, stopping at an Italian restaurant, where Marjorie Sutter was a cabaret dancer. In another part of the city Harold ITogeland was found as Mrs. Vernon Castle Treman's dancing partner. Anna Pederson was a ballet dancer in a small theatre, Anna Trask was starring as the vampire in the picture that preceded Miss Pederson's act. Myrna Martin was now singing lullabys in grand opera. Vander Dobeus (our great orator) was seen driving down Fifth avenue in the noiseless Ford of Fred Culver's invention. As he rode along he discovered Bill Waddell, perched on the top of the Woolworth build- ing, looking over the edge at him. Wee Willie is now a chimney sweep of all the principal buildings of New York. Sing Sing was its next stop and here it found Bill Trask sentenced to hard labor for robbing tbe baby’s bank. In padded cell No. 13 Marvin Scbmidt is found mak- ing inner tubes for Bernice Knoepke’s doughnuts. Again it swung back West and found George Crego smoking the same old pipe on a barrel in the b asement of old Fergus High. Of course, you have guessed that he is janitor of Fergus now. On the pi ains of Wyoming, among the sagebrush and cactus, Arthur Wiede- man was found herding sheep. Alma Pederson lived at Roy as editor of the Roy Enterprise, while Ethel Black- ford is dean of girls at Danvers. Here Clifford Dobson was seen escorting Ruth Mondale to the Laundrymen's picnic. After b eing sent on this time, the letter was dropped in Tuscarora, in the wilds of Nevada, where we find Edith Moore as famous surgeon in a hospital for crippled cats. She was conversing with Zelda Attix, the Socialist leader, or in other words, the soap box speaker. Ellery Russel, agent for fly swatters, was endeavoring to sell Florence Carr, cook for a section crew, and her assistant, Inga Westfelt, a fly swatter to use in their cool car as she pumped up a flat tire on her bicycle. Chester Brew — his name is very suggestive of his occupation — now is the sole proprietor and seller of the original home brew. Esther Gottner is a suffering yet, still arguing for women s rights. Box Car Ross, with a week’s growth of beard, was peacefully slumbering in one of his favorite haunts when the letter reached him. He sent it to Mexico to Frank Simonfy, who was the bold bad man known in Diamond Dick. However, he was a real bandit and was the leader of a Mexican rebellion. It found Bud Day in Chicago, writing a book, entitled How to Smoke Cigar- ettes Between Periods and Get Away With It. Clair Hopper is manufacturing dynamos for disabled lightning bugs. Mary McKay is the propounder of this stu- pendous theory. In the Blackstone Hotel, Thomas Green has the exalted position of bellhop, and m the same place Helen Jongewaard is known as her highness the scrub lady. James Howland is now in Nome, Alaska, and is a physician who has become famous by extracting refrigeratory glands from Eskimos and installing them in Negroes in the Torrid Zone. He claims this raises their efficiency 101 per cent. Ruth and Esther Munkers are ballet dancers in the Bolshevik court. They have been made famous by their new dance, entitled The Missionary Movement or the Shimmy She Wobble. Chester Barrett and Frank Bristol are hard at work trying to cross lightning bugs with bees so they can work at night. Lyle Roeseler is found m St. Petersburg, marcelling the Queen of Sheba’s false hair, while Helen Obee is manicuring Lord Helpus Royal's finger nails. Kenneth McMillan and Hobart Miner, who recently became olive oil mag- nates, are found at their summer homes in Kal amazoo, entertaining the famous artist of the Fiji Islands, Ethel Seaver, who engraves the chief’s likeness on all the cocoanuts, and the champion dice shaker of the world, Margaret Silverthorne. In Berlin, Wisconsin, we find G eraldine Fisher and Dorothy Luedke in the Old Ladies' Home. Dorothy has undertaken the strenuous task of teaching her pet parrot to use perfect English. Swinging across the Atlantic again, we find Mr. Robert F. M. H aggerty, Jr., street and alley commissioner of the entire Sahara desert. He is ably assisted by his bitter half, Olive Strickland. In the beautiful city of Monte Carlo we find Elizabeth Shammeil, who gave up her fortune to stop publicity, so that she might finish her book, Confessions of a Vampire, in seclusion. Back in the United States again, we find Ruth Lindsey, Julia Sarjeant, and Bessie Blair at the Washwomen's Union, busily discussing lower wages and longer hours. William Fleming and Renald Shoemaker have at last thrown a suspension bridge across Spring creek and are living on the interest of their vast wealth. In Grass Range, Valeria Barta is known as the flat-footed policewoman. Valeria has made a great success of her -work in that place, it seems. From here the round robin was sent to the North Pole, where Dorothy Daniels and Katherine Caldwell are running a “ hot dog joint for the benefit of the numerous explorers and discoverers. In New York were found the great doctors who dumbfounded the world and backed Einstein ofl the map with their theory that all that goes up must come down, on the head or on the ground. There are only three persons who compre- hend this theory, and they are Eva Seaver, Lavinia Shavere, and Marguerite Moore, who are now teaching the doctors' theory m the universities of Missoula, Idaho, and Berkeley, respectively. In Dublin, Ireland, we find Elizabeth Smyth, Margaret Spicer, and Arthur Van Noy, who have formed a company and have become immensely wealthy with their skin-game of Sure Cure for Potato Bugs. The letter went on to Germany, to the town of Berlin, where Zelma Saylor, Eva De Tour, and Laurie Westfelt have just completed a new recipe for an odorless limburger cheese which is becoming quite popular in the royal families. With a deep drawn sigh Hugh finished this lengthy epistle and continued crack- ing the nuts which the entrance of the little boy had interrupted. Leona Reuther. Reg ina Leiter. FAREWELL Farewell, Fergus, life's a parting; 0 Now we all must say goodbye; And however must we love you. We must leave you with a sigh. Four years we have been together — Freshmen green to Seniors gray; And we never can forget you, It matters not how far we stray. Farewell, Fergus, we are going With highest hopes the world to roam. Though Fate may drift us all directions, This will always be our home. Farewell to our high school pleasures, Scene of many a joy gone by, Farewell to our dear old Fergus, Love for you will never die. O. m Junio rs. Juniors, af)! In a little Western city In the heart of the Western hills, Our d ear old Fergus stands ready To tram our minds and wills. Three years ago to Fergus Came a little Freshman crowd, And it is now my duty To shout their praises loud. As Freshmen, Miss Marjorie Brown First president, made we. And the d ays went well, for Marjie led With wisdom good to see. First year in decl am the Frosh ” excelled, i' From upper classmen won, And straight way was our little class The b est 'neath the Western sun. As Sophomores, Eugene Crego Was leader of our band. And our fragile craft sailed bravely on. So well, by him, ’twas manned. That year we won the epithet That was quite above the rule, But even the Seniors had to admit We’d the most pep in the school. And Emmett has led us all this year; We’re Juniors, brave and bold, And next year we’ll be Seniors With a name as good as gold.

Jfrcsfjmartji istort� FTER toddling from the “ tar paper palace ” a hundred and sixty- four of us found ourselves m the Fergus corridors in sublime good feeling with ourselves. We were astounded at the disrespect with which all the classes above us treated us. Our first party was a com- plete success; everybody “ fell ” for Estill Howell, and Mr. Sucetti showed his great ability m amusing the youngsters, who turned out dressed m old clothes and ready for a genuine good time. Our discussion team won the school championship, thereby surprising the natives into a scornful and supercilious attitude. We will now tell you about a few of the most noted individuals in the class. The first one that comes to mind, and the smallest, is Johnny Tobin, who bought a voice five and eight-sevenths times too large for his size. He claims to be sixteen, but we very much doubt it. John Stark is our most hard boiled guy ; when he opens his mouth, let no dog bark. Nita Creel and Bernice Wescott take the cake when it comes to serving (too true). xAlice Brew managed to keep the money intact; that is, we haven't counted it yet. Margaret Lyons, our candidate for the carnival queen, took third place, defeating the Sophomores and breaking the tradi- tion that Freshmen always come in last m everything. Next year’s Sophomore class is going to be the best class Fergus has ever had. The class officers are as follows: First semester — president, Milton Ander- son; vice president, Bernice Wescott; secretary-treasurer, Durward Zuether. Sec- ond semester—president, Milton Anderson; vice president, Margaret Warr; secretary-treasurer, Alice Brew. Editor for year, Beverly Fnelds. CODE OF A FRESHMAN Freshmen large and Freshmen small. Freshmen short and Freshmen tall. Freshmen fat and Freshmen slim, Freshmen full of pep and vim, A laughing, boisterous, jolly crowd; Old Fergus of her babes is proud: But we 11 grow up, oh ! never fear; You’re quaking at it now we hear. And when we're frying size, you'll see Just what a Freshman code can be; For we're still babies we'll admit, But babies make the biggest hit; We'll skim like rockets through the sky, We'll be the pride of Fergus High; We know it now, and so do you; We’re going to prove it; we're true blue. 01 S u b - Fres h m cn is ut)=jfr£2rtne£ We are the smallest class in school. Not in number but in size; They call us Fergus babies,” But some day we’ll be wise. We’ve been here one semester, And we’ve surely learned a pile. And we hope when we are Seniors We 11 know a lot worth while. Our president is a faithful one. Our secretary, too; Our editor keeps the Fergus supplied With things of interest to you. We have all typ es of people, Tall, thin, and short, and stout. And we know by next semester That our minds will broaden out. 'ff $ost= @raiiuatE Class HE Post-Graduate enrollment this year proved to be tke largest ever known in the history of Fergus. Last year the Post-Graduate class could boast of only four members, but this year it has expanded to twenty-five. Five of this number are graduates from distant states, three of them left Fergus with honors in '20, while the rest are the old faithfuls of the class of '21. The Post-Graduate class might be four separate divisions : those interested in commercial work, in music, m college preparatory work, and in normal training. Those pupils interested m commercial work are: Ralph Campbell, Loretta Hall, Agnes Crego, Doris Trimmer, Emmett Kuntze, Cecelia Biglen, Cecil Nichols, Mabel Tobin, and Clementine Foley. Among those who have won honors in type- writing are : Ralph Campbell, Remington gold medal for writing 63 words a minute and the Underwood three bar medal at 65; Mabel Tobin, two bar Underwood medal for 50 words a minute; Cecil Nicools, Underwood one bar medal; Doris Trimmer, Remington card case; Loretta Hall, Remington card case; and Agnes Crego, Emmet Kuntze, and Norma Hanson, certificates. The above is evidence that a ke en interest has been shown by the Post-Graduates in this class, for the majority of them are on the semester honor roll m the commercial department. The cl ass is very proud of its members m the music department, Grace Pen- nock, Dale Eunson, Christine Hilger, and Norma Hanson. Tho se entered in college preparatory7 work are: Irma Green, a graduate of the Miami High School, m Oklahoma ; LeRoy Schafer, of the Portland, Oregon, ’21 graduating class; and Glen McMillan, of the class of '21. These students are tak- ing advanced courses in English, algebra, and French. Special mention should be made of the College English class, which, under the supervision of Miss Suther- land, is writing a book of information about colleges. The Normal Training division includes Katherine Laux, Bertha Day, Frances Smythe, and Marjorie Spaulding. Some of these have gone out practice teaching, while others will remain here to finish their work. divided into MS1§ O' Specials A y-7 Special impressions Lygia Creel — A princess in a flowery bower.

The other day a man dashed wildly into the Grand Central Station with just one minute to catch the Twentieth Century. He made the ticket window in two jerks. ” Quick, give me a round trip ticket! ” he asked. Where to?” ” B-b-back here, you fool!” He What would you say if I kissed you? She —“ I wouldn't be in a position to speak. ' Isn’t It Sinful? He in a nice grey suit. She m a coat of fur —— She despised him, He hated her. She thought, I’ll kill him.” Now wasn’t she mean? 0 horrors ! When he’s dead She'll pick his hones quite clean. Her eyes, how bright; a stealthy step ! She'll kill him m her house ! A cry, a yell, a sque ak. The cat has caught the mouse. SUCCESSFUL TEACHER An old man, wanting company and having no children, bought a parrot and set about teaching it to say, 1 Uncle. He stood before the bird for some time, repeat- ing, Say, 1 Uncle say, Uncle, but the parrot remained silent. Finally the old man got angry and, grabbing Polly by the neck, he yelled, Say, Uncle,' you fool; say, ’ Uncle,' and with that he threw her out the window. A few minutes later he heard a great commotion m the chicken yard. On look- ing out he perceived Polly vigorously ringing a chicken's neck and yelling, Say, k Uncle,' you fool; say, ' Uncle.' His feet were on the doorstep. His trousers were under his head. His shoes were hung on the knocker, And he thought he’d gone to bed. Oh, how I hate To come m late To early morning class; For well I know Th ere is no show For such a bird to pass. r £ Bill W. (after vacation)-— I’m sorry I had to cut classes, Mr. Cummings, but I was unavoidably detained. Mr. C.— And you wanted three days more of grace? Bill —No, of Flora. Farm Play Cast Jfarm jpiap Cast Of course you all saw that most comical play, (_, The Arrival of Kitty, so clever and gay. You doubtless all laughed till you thought you would die. And then just laughed on till you couldn't tell why. Behold, here the cast who all made such a hit. It' s a wonder th eir heads were not swelled quite a bit. We' re sure you must know them in spite of their paint. Their wig's and their garments, of which some were quaint. Muss Hartman, the coach, is invisible here, But her work is a credit to her, never fear. We really doubt if there could be a play More truly successful in every way. eab Hitters of tije cfjool gear All-School Parties Staged Each Semester Fifty-seven varieties of games, m which some four or five hundred pupils par- ticipated, marked the feature of the first all-school party of the year. Stunts were the thing in the second semester student mixer. Every kind of stunt from a Paris hat shop to the seven fashions of love making was presented. The trained animal show put on by the Seniors was, m their estimation at least, the sensation of the evening. There’s nothing like a stunt party to bring out the originality of the vari- ous classes. Short Course of 1922 Well Attended Who are they? ” “ Real, life sized farmers,” and similar remarks characterized the opening days of the Short Course, m which a larger number than usual were enrolled. New classes were for med in gas engines, agriculture, and business English, with a view to making the work as practical as possible. The course ended about the middle of March, so that the farmers could return to their ranches for the spring work. Farmors' Week Scores Success Farmers’ Week, held the last week m January, was a great success again this year. Lectures were given by speakers from out of town and by teachers of the high school, on different subjects such as stockraising, beekeeping, blacksmithmg, agriculture, cooking, and dressmaking. Each night there was something special, such as the farm play, farmers’ banquet, and educational moving pictures. Farm Play Great Faugh Flaher You saw 11 The Arrival of Kitty? If not, it was surely a pity, For “ Dobbie,” you know, Made a hit in the show; His remarks, by the way, were quite witty. You rea Hy never could guess What a wig, high heeled shoes, and a dress. And a coy dab of paint Made him look what he ain’t; It was cleverly done, I confess. The crowning event of Farmers' Week along an entertaining line was the “Arrival of Kitty.” The cast played before a packed gymnasium. There were so many that were not able to get in that it was decided to repeat the performance at the Judith theatre a week later. Here the play scored another hit. The cast was as follows : Bobbie Baxter . . Jane........... Benjamin Moore William Winkler Kitty.......... Aunt Jane...... Sambo.......... Maid........... Ting........... . . .Clifford Dobson . . . Nellie Sturman . . . .William Trask .....Harold Vorh is , . . Ethel Blackford .. .M arjorie Brown .....Roy Skinner Catherine Caldwell . William Waddell Dobbie surely made a fine girl. All the characters acted their parts well and acquitted themselves with honors. The play was a decided success both financia Lly and as a laugh maker. (Ask anyone that was there.)

Please step lively and give room for tke people behind you. Suck were tke yells issuing from tke moutks of tke barkers wko crowded tke kalis. Tkere were side skows in every room and bootks along eack side of tke kails. Five big skows were staged in tke gym.— tke Senior special, tke minstrel skow, tke vaudeville, tke jazz orckestra concert, and tke crowning of tke carnival queen. Tke last named created a great deal of class rivalry. Eack class nominated a girl, and tkese were voted on by tke students and townspeople, at ten votes for a nickel. Tke contest was very close until a few minutes before tke polls closed, wken tke votes were cast at a tremendous rate. At tke final count it was found tkat Laura Wasmansdorff, tke Junior candidate, kad won. Ske was crowned in all tke glory and pomp of a queen at 10 o'clock by Mayor Briscoe. It was a very fitting climax for tke windup of a most enjoyable evening. As tke Seniors cleared tke most money during tke evening, tke class kas its name engraved on tke carnival cup for 1922. Tke record sum of $1,203.44 was taken in during tke evening. Older Boys’ Conf erence HLeets in Lexvistown April 28, 29 and 30 will be remembered by tke young men wko attended tke Older Boys Conference wkick was keld m tke Presbyterian church. Tke main topic of tke meeting was Tke Price of Leadership. Doctor Donaldson, tke presi- dent of Montana Wesleyan University, was tke mam speaker. His first speech was Tke Price of Intellectual Leadership. He made several other inspiring talks. His closing address was Tke Goal of Intellectual Leadership. All tke boy s wko attended went away with a different outlook because of hav- ing heard tkese speeches. Another of tke speakers was Mr. Hoismgton, a very successful Y. M. C. A. worker. He spoke of Bo3 s and tke World’s Program. Student Council As soon as the spring semester of school had started nicely, the question of student government was brought up. All the progressive schools of the State have student government and are ruled by a student council. This was carefully explained before the students, and a committee was appointed to draw up a con- stitution, which was carefully talked over at a meeting of the student body. In due time it was voted on and passed by a two to one majority. The council is com- posed of the officers of each of the classes. It has only begun to function as a gov- erning body this year, but next year it will be ready to start work at the first of the school term and settle all matters of rules, conduct, etc., around the building and school grounds. 3Meep ere THE DIFFERENCE Dutchman— ' Pat, do you know the difference between an Irishman and a hog?

The hour was late; Two hearts were glad. A leap, A rip, A bite, A tear, A cry, A sigh. And then a swear. A gate. No lovers. A father glad; A dog triumphant; A maiden sad. Moral: If it takes him two hours to say good night, it serves him right if the dog did bite. Whe Carmtml (teen In March we had a carnival. The best IVe ever seen. But best of all I saw that night Was the crowning of the queen. All classes chose a candidate For that much envied place, And all the classes did their best That theirs might win the race. The competition was most keen When voting had begun, But when the votes were counted up, The Junior queen had won. It was 9 :45 on Friday night When the carnival queen was crowned. Her dress was lavender and white. With a purple robe around. The mayor, dressed in kingly robes. On the platform took his stand; The queen marched m with stately tread To the music of the band. The mayor gave a little talk Which filled us with delight. Then said it was his privilege To crown the queen that night. He crowned the queen; she bowed to us, The music was begun. The queen marched out with stately tread Oh! my but it was fun. Josephine Caldwell. Tlie Yokohama Maid fflt)t Jflustc department OPERA CLUB Jesse Ewer, Director ERTAINLY the 0P era Club has won the hearts of the Lewistown people. Consisting of both glee clubs, it is doubly popular, and at their big production this year the theatre was filled and more wait- ing outside to get in. The big operetta this year was the ' Yoko- hama Maid.’ ’ This beautiful Japanese play was given at the Ju dith, under the direction of Mr. Ewer and Mrs. Fox. All the principals were picked with the greatest care and were highly complimented for their extraor- dinarily fine work. Hugh Cottam co-starred with Murna Martin in the leading parts. Others were Otho Kelly, Frank Kelly, Lyle Mondale, Kathleen Nangle, Kenneth Munro, Betty Hedrick, Arthur Wiedeman, Marjorie Sutter, and Esther Dahl. PIANO DEPARTMENT Sue Kenny, Gertrude Rosemond The piano department has had a very active year — an average of twenty-one lessons per day being given in the two studious — each pupil receivng two and one- half hour lessons per week. A regular graded course of study has been followed, from elementary to advanced work, which has given the pupils keen incentive for earnest practicing. The six weeks’ tests given, semester examinations written, and playing showed steady advancement m practical musical knowledge as well as piano technique. Thre e wee kly cl ass lessons were given for the students, at whi ch the rudiments of music were studied, lively contests held in scales, chords and musical terms, car training and sight reading tests given, and the pieces memorized played by the pu pils, m preparation for public recitals. Several very high class concerts were given by the students, where solos, duets, two and three piano numbers were played. These were open to the public and were highly appreciated by all who attended. Three advanced students were brought out m public recital, Grace Pennock, Emily Bottcher, and Christine Hilger. Con- certs for two pianos were played by these young ladies — as well as sonatas and groups of more popular classical solos. Grace Pennock and Ch ristine Hilger are both specializing m piano. They are graduates of the high school in the class of 1921, and are spending this year in piano study under Miss Kenny, in preparation for entering large Eastern conserva- tories. Both are pianists of marked ability. Miss Grace has been the faithful and inspiring accompanist for the orchestra for the last three years, as well as for the Opera Club, as an accompanist, as well as a soloist. Grace excels, and with the experience gained m the school, she is well prepared for bigger tasks m the future. Emily Bottcher, also a pianist of unusual talent, carried off the gold medal m the State music contest and has been very active in the musical organizations during the school year. Jn the department there are many students of great talent and ability who will become a credit to their school and themselves with years of earnest study. The students of this department have been very active upon almost every program given in Lewistown during the year, giving their services gladly whenever called upon. Several students have appeared upon every program given by the Woman’s Club m their year of the study of American composers, playing very artistically and with musicianly interpretation. The influence of the work done is very far reaching, as many of the students are preparing to teach. Pupils are enrolled from every part of Fergus county. Boys’ Glee Club Girls’ Glee Club BOYS’ GLEE CLUB Jesse Ewer, Director Not many high schools boast as fine a Boys’ Glee Club as does Fergus. The present enrollment is thirty-four, a great increase over the first years of its exist- ence. Unusually fine interest is shown by the boys in ail their work. All their efforts were directed on their fine concert given April 27. This was a concert that would be a credit to any high school, and they certainly won a name for them- selves. Dale Eunson, a post-graduate in the piano department, accompanied the boys in all their work. As an outgrowth of this group the Boys’ Quartet was recently organized. They appeared in public and in assembly and made a huge success. The boys organized this by themselves and received little or practically no training. The members are : Otho Kelly, first tenor; Frank Kelly, second tenor; Lyle Mondale, baritone; and Hugh Cottam, bass. Following are the members of the Glee Club: First tenor: Ray Branson, John Cox, William Fleming, Dale Glascock, Sam Gilluly, Otho Kelly, Howard P olson, Carl Peterson, William Svoboda, Elmer Fiske, Sam Trepp. Second tenor: Douglas Elrod, Arnold Gillette, Tom Garry, Frank Kelly, James Wilson, Alexander Wilson, Alton Williams. Baritone: Gilbert Gillette, Lorenzo Kizer, Kenneth McMillan, Lyle Mondale, Fay Merry, Lyle Roeseler, Harold Vorhis, Arthur Wiedeman. Bass: Fred Culver, Hugh Cottam, Irwin King, Meredith Norman, Maynard Stapleton, William Waddell, Tom Krall, Bohumil Vanek. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB J esse Ewer, Director The Girls’ Glee Club is one of the finest music organizations in Fergus. Won- derful progress has been made during its three years of existence, growing from a little group of thirty-seven to fifty-seven. Progress has also been made in the kind and style of music sung. The concert given on March 17 showed the real work done during the year. The Glee Club meets at 8 o'clock, and much interest is taken in the work. Emily Bottcher was the able and faithful accompanist all through the year. The personnel is as follows: First soprano: Ethel Blackford, Esther Carnes, Esther Dahl, Norma Hanson, Mildred Isaacs, Cecelia Kelly, Murna Martin, Margaret Maury, Velma Miner, Nettie Morse, Anna Pederson, Inez Powell, Ella Rolston, Marie Sibbert, Bernice Stapleton, Marjorie Sutter, Grace Symmes, Gayle Thomas, Ruth White, Laura Woods, Eva Wright, Opal Parks. Second soprano: Ruth Agnew, Pearl Barrett, Mildred Barta, Valeria Barta, Agnes Combs, Hazel Daly, Gertrude Fisher, Geraldine Fisher, Mable Ford, Bev- erly Frields, Kathryn Leiter, Edith Moore, Ruth Munkers, Kathleen Nangle, Ruth Nicolls, Ellery Russel, Helen Sebree, Mildred Spicer, Glennette Surprenant, Ruth Symmes.

State Music Contestants Orchestra VOICE DEPARTMENT Special voice training1 has only recently found its place in the music department of our high school. Individual piano and violin instruction has been given for credit for the past three years, but not until the fall of 1920 did the authorities see fit to include spe- cial voice training m the music department. Since that time the vocal department has had a full schedule with a waiting list. It is the aim of the voice department to help those students who have special talent for singing to lay a foundation upon which they can build for the future. It is impossible m the short time that these undeveloped voices are m high school to bring them forth as finished products, for it takes years of hard, con- sistent study before they can hope to reach that much coveted goal, the ki artist.1' Perhaps only a small per cent of the pupils studying voice will go into it pro- fessionally, although a number of these students are planning to further pursue the ir studies m conservatories and private music schools. Our every effort is bent toward inspiring the desire for higher study of the art. There is always the thought that out of these there may develop a Galli-Curci, a Melba, a Joh n McCormick, or perhaps a Caruso, among those that go out into the world after many years of hard study built upon the foundation laid m the Fer- gus County High School. So always and uppermost may be instilled in their minds that through their music their lives may be broadened, making them more of an influence in their own homes and the communities m which they live. STRING QUARTETTES Fergus's music department received a flne reputation at the State Contest in Big Timber. The String Quartette helped make this reputation by carrying off first honors in their class. The quartette does very flne work and is one of the most popular ensembles of the department. The members of this quartette are: Pauline Dugart and Olive Strickland, violins; Clifford Dobson, viola: Tom Garry, 'cello; with Emily Bottcher, accompanist. Fergus also boasts another string quartette. This one is composed of Bohumil Vanek, Pauline Dugart, violins; Mrs. Thiclke, viola; Bessie Brown, ’cello; -with Grace Pennock at the piano. In November at the State Teachers’ convention they made quite a sensation with their half hour’s program at the big auditorium. This little group has played at various functions m the town and always were given the appreciation for their work. MacDOWELL CLUB Emily Bottcher, President This music club was organized and has been one of the most active clubs in the school. The programs have been most interesting as well as educational and have been given entirely by members of the club. A program of MacDowell’s com- positions, one of Indian compositions, one of Negro music, and several programs of miscellaneous music have been given. STATE MUSIC CONTEST Fergus had three entries in the State Music Contest held in Big Timber, March 30, 31. All of the entries placed, a flne record for Fergus. Emily Bottcher, pianist, received a gold medal for first place. Pauline Dugart received second place m the violin contest, being awarded the silver medal. The quintet won a beautiful ban- ner for gaining first place in their class. As far as percents are concerned, Fergus should have had more than fourth place in the meet, as they won thirteen points wi th only three entries. ORCHESTRA Jesse Ewer, Director; Janet Thielke, Concert blaster To some people the Fergus High orchestra is the life of the whole music depart- ment; anyway, it certainly plays its part in work done. All year long the orchestra was busy. First they accompanied the Yokohama Maid and added a special attraction to the show'. They gave concerts before assembly, and finally their big public concert took place on April 13 in the gym. This certainly satisfied the audi- ence and showed them wrhat was possible of a high school orchestra. Then came all the Commencement music. Under the direction of Mr. Ewer every member is receiving wonderful training m ensemble practice, which is worth more than any- thing else for future work. The work done by this orchestra is far above that done by any school orchestra in Montana, be it college or high school. So th ere are reasons why the Fergus County High School orchestra is so noted. Following are the members : First violin; Mrs. Thielke, Pauline Dugart, Marjorie Browrn, Carl Owen, Olive Strickla nd. Second violin; Marjorie Spaulding, Sarah Mershon, Regina Leiter, Mildred Barta, Claude Perleberg, Meredith Norman, Harold Vorhis, Sam Trepp. Arthur Wiedeman, Manley Anderson, saxophone; Arnold Gillette, drums; Rob- ert Haggerty, clarinet; Niles Wescott, flute; Clifford Dobson, viola; Bohumil Vanek, bass violin; Bessie Brown, 'cello: Tom Garry, cello; Elmer Fiske, Carl Peterson, Howard Palson, cornet; Grace Pennock, piano. VIOLIN DEPARTMENT Janet Thielke, Teacher The third successful year of the violin department in the curriculum has been brought to a close. Although not as large as the piano department, the violin department has done some very fine work during the year with the splendid mate- rial to work with. Having the violin studio in the building adds much to the inter- est taken. Several practice rooms are also provided m the school. Wonderful work has been done during the three years of its existence, and there are high hopes for the future. There is some very fine talent represented, which gives us every rea- son to be proud of this department. Very fine concerts were given during the year. At these times not only wras there solo work done but various ensemble groups appeared on the programs. These combinations, octets, sextets, quartets and trios proved to be favorites with the audiences. Pauline Dugart, the talented advanced pupil in the department, was entered at the State contest at Big Timber. She car- ried off second honors, and she and the winner greatly outclassed the competing violinists. Miss Dugart also has appeared in concerts a number of times at high school.

Captain Vander Dobeus led out about two dozen likely looking athletes for the inspection of the new coach, Mr. Cottam. After weeks of practice the team played a prac- tice game with the Alumni. From this game's experiences the team was rapidly molded into shape for the coming games with other schools. Winnett asked for a game, and this gave the boys still more practice. Only two big games could be scheduled, and they were won by com- fortable scores. The last game of the regular season was played November 11, and no other games were scheduled, so Fergus wras left to await the outcome of the Falls-Missoula game before she knew whether or not she could play for State honors. Missoula won over the Falls and promised to play for the honors Decem- ber 3, m a post-season game. Weather conditions made good practice impossible, so the game was played under a handicap. The last game proved a defeat, and the championship was won by Missoula. Following is a summary of the game: Fergus, 19 Fergus, 39 Fergus, 27 Fergus, 43 Fergus, 70 Fergus, 42 Fergus, 0 Alumni, 0 Winnett, 0 Harlowton, 0 Billings, 0 Harlowton, 0 Havre, 0 Missoula, 33 GRIDIRON VANDER DOBEUS, “ Van Captain, fullback; hard hitting and upheld the team's morale ; a leader that was a generous victor and a “ game loser. GEORGE COONRAD,“ Coonie Captain elect, quarter; the speedy lit- tle general that never quit fighting and pushed his men until the final whistle; chosen third all-state quarter. HUGH COTTAM, “ Hugh Left end; second all-state man; his hard smashing, quick shifting, sure tackling, and pass catching caused much comment. MAYNARD STAPLETON, “ Stape Left tackle; mussed up plays and opened holes in a cleancut manner. JOE DOBEUS, “ Joe Left guard; second all-state; had a wonderful time m handling his own man and a man from the back field. FRANCIS WILSON, “ Rip Center; third all-state. The big boy filled center and passed accurately. The opposing back field suffered at Rip's hands, MEREDITH NORMAN, “ Buster Right guard; lacking m weight, but he could take care of every one he met.

His ambitions were real- ized when he gathered a pass into his arms for a touchdown m the Havre game.

Everyone knows of the practice it took To make such a football team That would trample down its opponents As some terrible trampling machine. We practiced hard on passes And a method of carrying the ball, We hardened our bodies so thoroughly That we didn’t mind a fall. We practiced the art of tackling And how to block a play; We worked hard on our signals. And we came out every day. With all these things together Known well by eleven men. It’s no wonder our battered opponents Didn’t wish to play us again. So after wee ks of practice And by a nineteen to nothing score, We took the Alumni into camp And they didn’t ask for more. Then we played with Wmnett, That famous oil town crew. And the little end of a ' goose egg ” score Made the Wmnett boys feel blue. Harlow then came over And we crumpled up their line And sent them home wnth nothing, While we kept twenty-nine. We journeyed down to Billings, The land of the sugar beet; We gave them a goose egg ” to cherish. And they gave us forty-three. Next we were taken to Harlow To give them another round, And in running up seventy points. We certainly covered the ground. Havre came down from the north To battle on Armistice day; We ran up a score of forty-two And gained on every play, After our game with Havre, We had three weeks of rest Before we battled Missoula, The cha mpions of the West. We arrived m Missoula city At one o’clock one night. With just twelve hours to rest our nerves And get ready lor the light. With only a lew hours ol resting We started m to play. For us it was deleat — For Missoula a w alk away. Bitter was a losing game With the chance ol victory gone; Chauffeurs aren t the only ones themselves. Each knew the game was lost, But still the team lought on. We lought to the hnal whistle Without a cry lor rest, And then we bowed our heads To the warriors ol the West.

Tke members of tke second team, wkile not able to place on tke first squad, were all good players, and tkey only lacked experience. To give tkem practice, games witk small kigk sckools were sckcduled, and tke boys in tkese games acquitted themselves well, and only words of praise can be given tkem. Night after night, moreover, tkey came out and stood up against tke first team to give tkem practice. Only true Blue and Gold would or could do this, and tke first team is loud in tkeir praise of tke scrubs. At tke time tke first team was trampling over Billings, tke seconds were at Moore, winning a double victory. Tke victory over Moore gave tkem new impetus, and when tkey traveled to Hobson, another victory was won. Again on Armistice Day tke seconds won from Hobson, giving tke Blue and Gold a second double victory. A second game played against Moore turned tke tables, tke opponents making two touchdowns in tke first half. Tke second half was a real fight, but tke boys could not put tke pigskin across. Next year tke faces of some of tke so called scrubs will appear on tke regular lineups, and when tkey are tke strongest repre- sentatives of Fergus, tkey will remember that tkeir strength dates back to tke time tkey were seconds.

Out of flfte en games played only five were lost, and a total of 379 points were made by Fergus against 254 for her opponents. Big Rip Wilson led his mates m points for the team with 152 points. George Grego came second, with 78, and Cottam third, with 71. games were with weaker teams, and Fergus had no trouble at all in winning these. Two games were lost to Great Falls, two to Fort Benton, and one to Cascade. These games were lost when the team was in a crippled condition. The tournament was won, and the team was eligible to play for honors m the State tournament. The second team was out every night and gave the first squad some good stiff practice. They were rewarded for their faithful ness by b cmg allowed to play games with Moore and the town team. They won from Moore, but the town squad proved too strong for them. At the end of the season the lineup stood: Crego, fast and a sure shot, was holding down right forward. Chesterfield, a fast floor man with an aggressive spirit, was carrying the ball from left forward. Wilson, big, calm, and a good jumper, was the man who rolled in either long or short ones and held down center. Gregory, a man with pep and fight, traveled over the floor as running guard. Barrows, the sturdy guard, was fast and always in a position to do the most good. Wiedeman could go in anywhere and proved to be a valuable sub. Cottam, the captain at the beginning, was compelled to stay out of the games by doctors1 orders. However, he often came in when the tables needed turning in favor of Fergus. CLASS TEAMS In addition to the games played by the first and second squads, the classes organized teams, and some very interesting interclass games were held. Each class team was composed of men who lacked experience enough to make the first and second teams. However, the teams developed to a surprising extent without coaching, and some individuals were even chosen from a class team and put on one of the high school squads. The Senior team played through the season without a defeat, and as a grand climax they defeated the second team by a 12 to 11 score. The Juniors came in for second, and the Sophs third. The Freshmen, Specials, and Post-Graduates all came in with games won or lost, and among them honors were about evenly divided.

And greet the grub again, Shouting the battle cry of feed’em. )t public Speaking Club HO’S who in the Public Speaking Club, and wbat bave they done tbis year? Tbe club was organized m the fall for the purpose of giv- ing our young hopefuls a chance to carry off honors for Fergus in the public speaking line. This year the club included not only those interested in debate and extemporaneous, but also those who were interested in decl amatory work. Another new feature that the club carried out was the two principles upon which the debate work was based. The debat es that were to take place in the State Debating League were planned and worked out according to the usual method. The interclass and county contests were arranged so that the question for debate would be informally discussed. The principles underlying this method are : first, that each side should present its argu- ments pro and con, and second, to come to a definite, conclusive statement. The side which presented the best arguments and came to the best logical conclusions won. A team was chosen for both the regular debate and discussion contest, but owing to some misfortune the discussion team never met an opponent. The debate and discussion team consisted of Meredith Norman, William Trask, Nellie Sturman, Lyle Mond ale, Hobart M iner, Florence Carr, and John Kidneigh as alternate. Nellie Sturman, M eredith Norman, and William Trask represented Fergus in a debate with Moore. The question was: Resolved, that the Federal Government should enact legislation to exclude rigidly Japanese immigration from the United States. We were defeated by a close margin. The remaining debates of the year were staged between the classes. The Freshmen surprised everybody by defeating the upper classmen and carrying off first honors. The three representing the Freshman class were as follows : Hen- rietta Craig, Marion Twombly, and Wllliam Carnes. Good for you. Freshmen; keep it up and take first place in the State debate contest when you are Seniors. Wm. Trask Winner, District Extemporaneous Speaking Richard Sherman Second in State Extemporaneous Essay Extemporaneous Sneaking Out of seven, contestants trying for first place in extemporaneous work, Wil- liam Trask was chosen to represent us in the district contest, in which he again proved his merits by winning first place. This meant a trip to Bozeman, where he would have taken first place in the State contest, hut unfortunately he fell ill with pneumonia, and had to give up his dream of again putting Fergus on the map. Extemporaneous Essay At the same time William was supposed to go to Bozeman, Richard Sherman went to compete m the extemporaneous essay contest, m which schools all over the State took part. Five of the best essays from each school were sent to Boze- man. From this number ten of the best ones were chosen, and their authors were invited to take part in the final contest there with all expenses paid. Richard Sherman’s essay was chosen as one of the best ten m the State. He went to Bozeman and took second place. Fergus is very proud that our Sophomore representative, who had to compete with Seniors in other schools, won the place he did. On account of illness of some of the b asketball players and the coach, and the illness of our extemporaneous speaker, he was our only representative. D eel amatory The public speaking classes, under the direction of Miss Hartman, have cer- tainly done splendid work this year. Students from these classes have appeared before the public at club meetings, assemblies, and downtown meetings. They have written and presented dramas, and have done everything you could think of in the public speaking line. Out of fifteen students who tried out for first place m the school declamatory contest, Catherine Maxiener won first place. The interesting program and the good work accomplished by this club have been largely due to the officers elected and our sponsors. For the first semester the following were our officers: Meredith Norman, president; Lyle Mondale, vice president; Alice Reuther, secretary; 'William Waddell, treasurer. For the second semester the following were chosen : Willi am Waddell, president; A1 ice Reuther, secretary; Hugh Cottam, treasurer. Our sponsors were Mr. Crego, Mr. Pryde, and Miss Hartman.

Winter with its coat of snow was fast disappearing toward the ocean, via the creeks, brooks and rivers. The cold blasts had changed to warm spring breezes, and dark gray had changed to beautiful, soft, wondrous blue. In fact, Na- ad donned her loveliest garments. It was spring. In a small rn town the day’s work was finished. Clerks, merchants, mechanics, and all the others that go to make up the population of a small Western town were going home. Even the sun seemed to think it was time to quit work, as its golden rays, which all day long had warmed the earth, were flung toward the heavens, making a beautiful rose colored boat out of a white fleecy cloud. James Bondy, a young insurance clerk, was very happy, but why shouldn’t he be? W'asn’t he going out with the sweetest, dearest, cutest, most lovable one in all the world? To Jim, everyone called him that, she was—” it.” To her Jim was more than that, so you see both were very happy. She had b een sick for months, and to Jim, it seemed years. But every day he would call and see her, and ever}7 day she would watch and watch and watch until he came, and then watch until he was out of sight when he left. But tonight they were very happy, for they were ” going out together.” The doctor had promised that she could go, and they were going for a long ride. It seeme d that Aunt Hattie would never have supper ready. When she finally ir did have it on the table and he was called in to eat, he hardly touched a bite. Hav- ing barely seated himself, he cwallowed a cup of tea and bolted a piece of bread, and with a quick, 11 Excuse, please,” he was upstairs. Aunt Hattie smiled swee tly to herself as if she had remembered something similar to this evening many years ago. Suddenly from Jim's room came the long expected roars. Aunt Hat— where’s my clean silk shirt, the one with the red stripe, and — ? ” You’ll And it m the top drawer of your dresser.” “ Oh ! yes — thanks.” And then again — “ H aven't I any clean collars? They are m the collar box. ' Silence for a few moments. Then — bang! bang! bang! In heaven’s name what are you doing? ” u Looking for a clean handkerchief.” lL They are in the bottom drawer. I certainly pity the woman who marries you.” With a run and a jump he was out of the house and down the street. Stopping in front of a large building, Jim glanced at the battered sign which announced that it 11 was a hospital for —” and then the elements had blotted out what the hospital , was for. Jim walked straight to a white door, unhooked it and went in, and there he stopped. Putting his arms around a beautiful black horse, he exclaimed, Well, old girl, I guess we can go for our ride tonight.” Clifford Dobson.

They painted their faces with red clay mixed with water and the juice of berries and roots, but never had they looked upon their own artistic work. Even the maidens knew nothing of their beauty ex- cept what their lovers told them when wooing them. One morning, er a great storm, Otusu was standing on the shore, when glancing at the yellow sands, he beheld at his feet a small, square, shining object which had been washed up by the waves. He picked it up and looked at it. He was terrified, yet fascinated, and for more than an hour he stood intently gazing at the image of a man s face which stared back at him. The f ace had small black eyes, a high, well shaped fore- head, with red stripes beautifully painted across it, and a set of even white teeth. ” Huh ! ” he said at last, k huh ! he come from ocean, this head of man. The sea god means something — it is sign.” Then carefully he carried it to his hut, and knowing not where to hide it, he buried it m the sand near the door post. Day after day went by, and Otusu thought so much of this strange image that he would appear at home more often every day. He even left the tribal meetings and feasts to come to his hut. Now Otusu had a wife, a nice little plump one, with a hearty good natured smile, and many lovely streaks of red paint on her face. But like most wives, Shuma was curious. So one day she ■watched her husband dig in the sand near the door post, take something up in his hand, look at it, and finally replace it, carefully brushing the sand over it. She waited till he was out of sight and then rushed to the spot, dug rapidly m the earth with her hands till she struck something hard. Hurriedly she drew it out— and there looking right at her was the face, the image of a woman 1 How Otusu could like such a mean, treacherous looking creature was more than Shuma could understand. But one thing was certain, he no longer was true to her. That night she told him of her discovery, but he hotly denied having the por- trait of a woman. “ No, no Shuma,” he cried in Yawmian, “ not woman; it is man's face; the sea god gave me him.” But Shuma was not to be so easily pacified, and so loud and angry did their words grow that the old chieftain, who chanced to be passing by, decided to look into the matter. 11 What is the trouble? ’ he asked. “ My wife, she mad! ” exclaimed Otusu. “ Most of the m are,” soothed the old man, but he listened to the story and asked to see the strange picture. When Otusu brought it forth he took it in his hands and studied it; finally he raised his head. ” My children,” he said in Yawmian, “ you are both wrong, for this is the pic- ture of a good, brave chief. How could you mistake it? ” And he bore the mirror away to lay with the treasures offered to the sun god.

CAR AND TRUCK Phone 145 Wot Eosie of fllpmoutfj The Senior play presented this year is “ The Rose of Plymouth Town. The setting is laid in the early colony of the Puritans and deals with the love affair of a daredevil young man and a pretty maid. The girl. Rose de la Noye, is at this time living with Captain Standish and his wife, Barbara. Garrett Foster, a mem- ber of another colony, is caught stealing corn and is made to eat it all. John Marge- son, a young man of the colony, is very much in love with Rose, but is loved by Miriam Chillingsley, Phillipe, the brother of Rose, loves Miriam and tries to win her affections, but he is very bashful and afraid to approach her. Then John and Garrett have words and John is banished from the colony and ordered never to return. During the absence of Foster, John tries to wm Rose and comes close to success but for the return of Foster. Then comes the light with the Indians and the redemption of Garrett Foster and the downfall of John. Phillipe also wins Miriam, and John is left out m every case. Just let your mind wander from the present day back to the time of the Puri- tans. But please keep in mind the cast and think how they lit m their parts. Think of Buster ” Norman as the sturdy, brave Miles Standish, the man of the colony and also the mild, meek, loving husband. Then jump over to the better half of his family, his wife, and place Leona Reuther in that place. Don’t you see why Buster is so meek and humble? Then come the heroine and the hero, Marjorie Sutter and Dobbie. A good pair for these parts, don’t you thmk? But let me give you a little tip. Dobbie has a harder time getting his lady love than any hero in the present day movies. Next m line are Margaret sP icer as Miriam, a sweet, dear Puritan girl, and Phillipe, who is really Clair Hopper. These two people certainly carry out their parts well and show due respect to the class. Next is Alice Cullmgton disguised as Aunt Resolute,” She is certainly a sweet lady (look at the name Resolute), Then comes the villain, and as you know, all plays must have a villain, so we find Bill Waddell holding this part. He is the one who gives the hero all the trouble and also fights a furious duel with the hero, but, alas, gets defeated. So looking back and leaving the players and the play, we have to thank Miss Hartman for all her patience and hard work in producing the play and making it su ch a success. Wee Willie, ’22.

Extends to the Nineteen Hundred Twentv-two J Graduates of the Fergus County High School Best Wishes for Happiness, Success and Prosperity as They Travel Along on Life’s Highway Class ong Dedicated to the Class of 1922 Here's to the school we know and love, Hail to the Gold and Blue. Here's to the school we hold above, With those whose hearts are true. Let’s give it a rousing' song and cheer. Whose memory we hold so dear. While deep m our thoughts will always be Our full hearts’ loyalty. Chorus Oh, Fergus High, dear Fergus High, Thy sons can ne er forget. That golden haze of high school days Is ’round about us yet. Those days of yore will come no more. But through each passing year, The thought of you, so good and true, Will find our hearts with cheer. And so when far from high school halls, We’ll sing and cheer once more, Our hearts will beat with memories fond Of days that are of yore. When far away ’mid pleasures bright. Passed on by wings so fleet. They’ve left behind them m their flight Our friendships ever sweet. Jesse W. Ewer. Fergus Chapter of tf)t J attonal 2|tgfj ikfjool potior is onetp Over a year ago steps were taken towards organizing a chapter of the National High School Honor Society here at Fergus. Various difficulties were met, but a charter has finally been secured and the first members in this, the Fergus chapter, elected. The purpose of the society is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote leadership, and to develop character. The constitution provides that not more than fifteen per cent of the graduating class may be elected to membership, after April 15 of the school year, by the prin- cipal and a committee of four from the faculty. This committee, Miss Sutherland, Mr. Crego, Miss von Tobel, and Mr. Turner, selected thirteen members on the basis of their scholarship records, and one, William Trask, for his service and qualities of leadership. The names of those chosen are as follows : Lovelia McCune, Ellery Russel, Bessie Blair, Bernice Knoepke, Margaret Spicer, Olive Strickland, Arthur Van Noy, Vander Dobeus, Helen Obee, Robert Haggerty, Elizabeth Shammell, George Crego, Anna Shields, William Trask.

My crepe de chine waist, and my little short skirt, Along with my half length hose. Give plenty to wear; and then I can flirt. If only I powder my nose. The fathers can rant, and the mothers can rave, The preachers deal sledge hammer blows. But still I go on, atop of the wave, If only I powder my nose. In the time that shall come, when St. Peter I face. I’ll look like a little pink rose, But ere I get by through the gates over there, I hope I can powder my nose. Anonymous. AS A FRESHMAN SEES THE SENIORS There are many jokes m our school. They rub elbows with us in the halls, and they sit around in our classrooms, but most of them are too pathetic to appear in print. Vander Dobeus — Handsome but bashful. K. Nangle —- A pull with Cummings. George Crego —= Holding an envied position in the history department. Hugh Cottam— A knight errant but fickle. Esther Dahl — That voice I Ruth Symmes — Galoshes. Ethel Blackford —- Vaselmed hair escort. Bill Waddell —Six feet four, with a voice like Cummings. “ May I hold your Palm Olive? ” “ Not on your Life Buoy 1 I’ll never take another drop, worth building. id the drunken man as he fell off the Wool- i k
