None of us could say that they were all pleasant, because all through life we have our ups and downs, but happy or otherwise we will recollect them all as some of the most memor able d ays of our youth. So we will remember Fergus High, in days past, by our dear old annual which will revive many pleasant occurrences which would likely be forgotten. Old friends who helped to make our high school days more happy will have wandered far, but will remain in our hearts forever. it a ♦♦ it it • ti i 1 JL n a g g ♦♦ ♦♦ 11 I ff t(je Cla££ of J tneteert imnbrcb ®toentp=ftbe, bebtcate tf)t£, tfje (Etgijtf) Annual of tije Jfergusi Cotintp I)(gf) School, to J$lts Haurtne jHusteer attb ilr.

University of Michigan Scholar at Teacher's College. Columbia University Agricultural Chib W )t Principal's Jtlessage To the Graduating' Class and the Other Friends of Fergus County High School: If true that adversity is a valuable test of one’s character, then we believe we, the Fergus County High School, have passed the test satisfactorilv and have earned the additional honor of 'cum laude ’ (with praise). Although you of the class of 1925 found a fine new building' in which much of your work has been done, for the remainder of it you shared the Tar-paper Palace’ and for one year the slightly better transformed dormitory. And the atmosphere, which is of far more consequence, was becoming tense with mur- murs of discontent because of unfavorable crop seasons, the rise of prices result- ing from world war, the tightening of money market which reached the climax when dissatisfied depositors forced the banks to close th eir doors permanentlv. The reduction of your spending money, the reduction of teachers’ salaries resulted m big changes each year m the personnel of the teaching corps, and this year, the 25 per cent reduction of the number of teachers. All these conditions were considered adverse. Neve rthele ss we have survived. We have achieved the distinction of being ranked with the best high schools of twenty-five of the most progressive states. Those graduates, who have ranked highest in scholarship, in spirit of service, in character and in leadership during the past four years, are among the 8,000 mem- bers of the National Honor Society, equaling the best products of the best high schools m America. We have sped through four years without seeing far ahead or appreciating all that we have seen, yet all has come out well. We are here in good running order. We have with Dickens learned that But for some trouble and sorrow, we should never know half the good there is about us. ’ Leighton tells us Adversity is the diamond-dust Heaven polishes the jewels with. If we are made of the right stuff, then our value should be more easily discerned by the world about us because of these four years together. From this experience and the ideas gained from the experience of others, let us gather renewed courage for the tasks of today and the unforeseen ones of tomorrow. Thousands of years ago Confucius said, Our greatest glory is not m never falling but in rising' every time we fall. ’ With faith in God, our Father, let us believe with H enry Wood, Wha tsoever is best will come, if we do our part. Marden, after experiences that would completely discourage some believes No man fails who does his best, for if the critical would ignore him, his labor is wei g'hed in th e scales of Omniscient Justice. Uninterrupted successes at the beginning of a career are dangerous.” He says, Beware of the first great triumph. It may prove a failure. M any a man has been ruined by overconn- dence born of his first victory.” We trust that by our association we have not merely passed the tests each applies to another, but that we have aided one another to live better, truer, nobler lives. See with Robert Louis Stevenson, that It is not enough to have earned a livelihood — the earning itself should have been serviceable to mankind.’ That each of you may be fully successful and happy in doing his part of the vv orld' s work is the sincere wish of Your friend, VERNON GRIFFITH MAYS. g The Pergus Stall Jtlembers of je jf ergu £?ear poob Poarb anb H taff Margaret Wan , Editor-in-Chid Beverly Frlelds.

We have put our best efforts into this book and we trust that we have produced an original publication worthy of the time and care put into it. The present Board has tried to make this book one that will be valuable to the students of this high school m future years. The pictures of your societies and the snapshots of your friends are familiar to you now, but m years to come, one forgets many times, and then it is that you, no longer students, will want to recall old scenes and old friends. With this thought in mind the Staff presents the Year Book of the Class of 1925. gfomimstration i i CHATTIN, EARL W., B. S.

Soph : Au revoird Senior: ' 'What does that mean?1' Soph: “Good-by in French.'’ Senior: “All right, carbolic acid.” Soph: “What’s that?’’ Senior: “Good-by in liquid form.” Miss Will: “Why don’t you talk more loudly when you recite? Irving Bottcher: “A soft answer turneth away wr ath.” Businessman: “I want a boy, but he must be capable.” Mr. Mays: “I have several in the school that are capable of anything.” Senior Class ;Propfjecj a. warm, luscious day in December, tbe grasses were green birds were all singing melodiously. Suddenly through the burst a sound of crashing machinery, the scraping of few feminine shrieks, a masculine roar, and fina Hy a crash round. The people of the city came rushing out of their Everything was a bustle and commotion. However, there were no cries of alarm for this was not an unusual event. Twas only our old fri end Walter Mondale descending from the heavens in his aeroplane after a brief ride with Marjorie Walker Mondale. On the decline, somehow, he had hit another aeroplane piloted by Katharine Niles, who was taking Doris Niswanger out for a ride before doing their daily dozen. No lives were in danger because of a new falling device invented by Lloyd Wallace. Walter stepped out of the rums and helped Marjorie to alight. Then, drawing a large red handkerchief with the inscription of R. Lindbloom and M. Isaacs beautifully embroidered in black in the center he carefully wiped the dust from Marjorie s face. The n after apolo- gizing to the inmates of the other plane the two walked away to view the city. The first thing they noticed was the warm weather. They were informed by a traffic cop, Alex Wilson, that this was due to a previous invention by one of the greatest inventors of the day, Harold Slater. While talking, who should come strutting along but Thomas McKeown, who was on an oratorical tour. Close behind him were four charming girls, Mina Coolidge, Myrtle Severson, Irene Ralston and Mildred Spicer, who stopped to announce that they were playing at the opera house of Lucille Orman, as leading ladies m the Follies. Charles Ille happened along at that time and took the couple for a spin around the country. They stopped at Glengarry to visit Willard Akins and Adolph Kosier who were conducting a chicken farm at that place. That evening they attended the Osweiler theatre where Grace Symmes wras seen on the screen playing leading lady for Andrew Marsh in '’ The Son of the Sahara.” The music for this performance was played by Vera Daniels, pianist, Sherman Stevens, drum and ukelele, and Beryl Montgomery, saxophone. Between shows a husky gentleman with white trousers, bright blue coatee, red necktie and blue-black hat, came down the aisle calling “Ice cold bananas!” Walter and Marjorie had to look twice at this creature and then were informed by Charles that it was Curtis Barnes. A wild handshaking followed. At that moment John Weber, the manager of the theatre, announced the hearing over the radio of a concert in Japan, wherein Helen Heald and Leonard Dunn, accompanied by Alora Cress, were playing. After this, Frances Morley appeared on the stage and sang a few lullabies. She discovered her school mates in the audience. The music was soon in an uproar until a few words were exchanged. From there the three travelers returned to Lewistown by a long route, stopping at Moore, where they discovered Floyd Martin, a wealthy bootlegger, and Beverly Frields, who had taken the oath and vows and was the best preacher in town. Nita Creel was owner of a Chinese restaurant, and Edward McConnell was a notable shoeshiner in the same town. Louise Shell and Bessie Barrows were found here teaching in a local high school. On the way to Hilger the three stopped at a place which looked like an inn but which turned out to be an insane asylum headed by Grace Surprenant, with Ruby Kindschv, chief attendant. While there they witnessed some little excite- ment when Ethel Greenwood and Lucille Dahl broke loose. Thanks to the timely aid of Elise Tubb, Faith Coveil and Carl Peterson, the rebellion was soon put down. A little farther on, the Ford was brought to a sudden standstill by an unusual sight. Swaying and tottering on the telephone wires was Alice Brew, while below wings, a to the g homes. were Helen McLean and Laura B. Gordon. Walter dashed madly to the rescue of Alice, but was stopped by Helen, who calmly told him that it was merely Alice, champion rope-w alker, at h er practice. From these people our friends discovered that M argaret Rolfsness was now residing’ m Berlin, Germany, where she was chief owner of the Dongivadang Dice Throwers” factory. They learne d that Margaret Holmes was the president of Africa, and the vice-president was Pearl Ols en, and it was also discovere d that Claude Perleburg' had a monkey farm there. Also the travelers learned from the newsy Helen that Margaret Warr was editor-in-chief of the Forest Grove Gazette. Telling these friends adieu, Walter, his wife, and Charles sped on m the rickety Ford to Hilger, where Charles left them. Th ey then rode around the city on the Doo-Wacka-Doo” street car. Their conductor was Stanley Smart and he informed them that Hayden Skinner was now residing at Sing Smg; a friend of his, Charles Smyth, was at Joliet, and both were serving successful terms as wardens. Eileen Smyth and Eva Wright were teaching kindergarten at Heaih and Ann Hamilton and Bernice Scott were teach- ing at Brooks as dean and principal, respectively. Cyril O’Neil was leading oil magnate at Winnett and Kathle en Brodie was his private secretary. After leaving the street car, they went to a large ten-story hotel, the ' Lodge De Luxe,” owned by Lucille Quickenden. J. B. Raucb was bellhop at this place and was well pleased to see his old friends. While talking to the manager, Emery Kynett, a noise was heard on the front steps, and there was Harold Martin, grinding an organ while a monkey danced. A young gentleman with a large patch over one eye, a ragged dog trailing behind him, large shoes and delapidated clothes, jostled into Marjorie and turned out to be Sam Gilluly, who had fall en ma dl y m love with Eva Hubbard, a wealthy artist, and being rejected, was reduced to this. The next day Mr. and Mrs. Mondale went to Cheadle where they found H enrv Holecek in the ticket stand at the Park Side Zoo.” They learned from him that Arthur Ball was the chief animal trainer here, and that Hazel Spoon was a barker” at the giraffe cages. Edward Matejcek had arrived the other day to take care of a peanut stand, and Beulah McCracken was a snake charmer there. The Mondales stopped to see these worthies and inquired about other high school friends. They learned that Avis Spaulding was telling fortunes in a tent not far off, so went to see her. She told them that Mabel Ford was now head stenographer at Cook-Reynolds Company, Lewistown; that Helen Brooks was married after hav- ing taught school about a year; that Ada Swears was in Egypt studying the sand dunes and sheiks, and that Edwin Thorny was one of these sheiks. Also they were told that Ve rnon Drazik was very ill in a hospital at Paris, after having | climbed a twenty-story building and fallen into a lake below it; Hattie Hawkins and M arie Dusek were married ; Ruth Cunningham had sworn to give her life to literature but had fallen m love instead. Th ey learned that a beautiful inn four miles from Winnett was owned and operated by Margaret Jenkins. Dances were given there frequently, much to the dismay of Miss Jenkins old triend, the Rev. Beverly Frields. Howard Poison was living in Russia and was one of the rising young bolshe- viks there, doomed to be on the throne some day. Eleanor Duggan, Gladys Yost, Elma Nelson and Paul Osweiler were botanists, eacb teaching their study in large schools. Olive Vangsncss was a beautiful little model at the Modiste,” New York City, owned by Irene Allen and Grace Yost, who had recently taken it in a suit against Hattie Hawkins. At last, tired and weary, Mr. and Mrs. Mondale returned to their home, very happy to have seen and heard of so many of their friends. Class of ’55. i tgtorp of tlje Class! of 1926 years ago, there came forth from 'I he Tar Paper Palace a assemblage of pea-green Freshmen. Th ese were known as the of ’26. The first year of our struggle within these portals was r James E. Wilson and Allan Burke, with Madeline Schobert and Clarence Preston collecting dues. This, our first year, was comparatively quiet, although Eleanor Fergus, our popular contest candidate, took second place. Another year found us still struggling, but farther up the ladder and w ith a little of the greenness worn off. This year, we were guided successfully through the difficult channels of high school life by Dorothy Scott and Albert Mielke, with Cecil Dunn and Ralph Wescott handling the money bags. Among our note- worthy accomplishments of the season's endeavors was the best assembly of the year and w'e took second place in class track. At last another year has passed over our noble brows, giving us a more dignified countenance, which befits students of our position. This is the year of all years in high school life. The Class of 2b has received the honor of making up most of the athletic teams. The Senior class cannot compare with us in base- ball because in the spring contests the Juniors defeated them twice. We are now standing on the threshold of the great victory, graduation, for we are about to pass into the Senior year. Let us fit ourselves to meet this responsi- bility, and to bear it worthily.

It was a verdant group of Freshmen who met in the gym for their class meeting. Mrs. Rose and Mr. Freed were appointed class sponsors and they took charge of the meeting until class officers could be elected. These were: Rex Eastman, president; Thelma Williams, vice-president, and Grace Cresap, secretary. The first social event given for the class was a Freshman- Sophomore party. This party was voted a huge success by all present and the Frosh were very grateful to the Sophs for the pains they took to make it a lively affair. About this time the Class of ’27 added to its laurels by winning a flag offered as a prize to the class which got the greatest number of parents out to hear a lec- ture on prohibition delivered by a prominent speaker. Competition was hot, and great was the disgust of the upper classes, to find that the despised Frosh had walked away with the prize. At the beginning of the present school term the members of the Class of 27 laid aside their rattles and other playthings and came to school as full-fledged Sophomores. The classes were organized soon after school started. Miss Hall and Mr. Hugh Logan were appointed class sponsors. Rex Eastman, Berkin Han- ley and Grace Phillips were selected in their respective order for the offices of president, vice-president, and secretary. Officers for the second semester were Romund Moltzau, president; Bun Pierre, vice-president; Rosamond McK eown, secretary, and Thelma Williams, treasurer. Richard Manning was elected class reporter. The Soph-Sub-Soph party went over big. 1 here was good music for those who cared to dance and games for those who didn't. This party was well attended and everyone reported a good time. The Sophomores took a spirited part in the car- nival. It was a Sophomore English class that was responsible for the hula show considere d by many as the best attraction of the carnival. The Sophomore assem- bly given on St. Patrick s Day was a great success. Among the numbers was singing by a girls' chorus. A reading by Mary MacGowan, a song by Ida Scott, and an artistic Irish folk dance by Doris Ford and Ida Thorny, completed the program. Among the Sophomores who have distinguished themselves this year are Ger- hardt Lehman and Richard Manning. Gerhardt played guard on the football team this fall and did very creditable work m that difficult position. Riel lard is a very able public speaker as well as being active m class affairs. He won the State extemporaneous speaking contest at Bozeman this year and was also a member of the Fergus High debating team which has up to date a district cham- pionship to its credit, with also a more than fair chance at State honors. Richard Manning is the youngest speaker who has ever won first place in the extem- poraneous contest.

H. S. m January, 1924. There were about Fifty Sub-Freshmen at our arrival —- the greenest, wiggliest and freshest mob to be initiated before it was too late. Our first meeting took place in the room of one of our sponsors, Mr. Mattill, who was assisted by Miss Clifford. We were fortunate to have Frances Smith as president, Frank Williams as vice-president, and Mary MacGowan as secretary- treasurer. The second semester we were honored by having one of our sponsors, Miss Clifford, back. She was helped by Mr. Chattm. Clifford Ayers tried his luck as president of our class, of whom just a few had settled down to work. Cecelia Sweitzer assisted him as vice-president and Mary MacGowan as secretary- treasu rer. Miss Clifford, after two semesters’ work with the class, resigned and gave the honorable place to Miss Lmme Pickell. As election time comes every semester, the third group of officers were chosen for the present semester. Alice Wilson was selected as president, Pearl Short as vice-president, and Frances Smith, secretary-treasurer. As yet we have not needed any treasurer but some time in the near future we hope that Frances will help us by handling the money for a party, picnic, or both. We were invited by the Sophomores to join them m th eir party. In our first semester as Sub-Freshmen we worked up a program in assembly called ' Barney Google.” It was postponed until we knew more about plays and had acquired some knowledge from high school professors. The Sub-Sophomores joined the Sophomores and put on a program in assembly which mclu ded musical numbers and short Irish poems and dances, all appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day. The S ub-Sophomore class has lost its green glare or else it is not quite so evi- dent now because the place we once occupied is now taken by the new Sub- Freshman class.

In the Junior High we made a good record, which has not been surpassed by any other class th ere, and we have bravely tried to keep our good record here. There are a number of our students who appear on the honor roll each time i( is put out. For the first semester, our president was Dons Barnes, and for this last semester we elected Genevieve Boles. Ve feel that we can safely say our first year here has been truly enjoyable, and we hope for three more equally as good. The sponsors of our class are Mr. Gardner and Miss Swan. Our class has been well represented m school activities. Jacob Haaland rep- resented our class on the school basketball team. Several of our students are active in the band and orchestra; among' them are Kermit Eckiey, Willis Dottcher, Catherine Buntin, FI el en M avs, Charles Marshall, Agnes Fergus, Frances Peter’ son, Alberta Bridges, Ellen Frost, Billy Vickerman and Rachel Lmce. M any of the girls and boys too were in the Glee Club and the operetta. 'The Belle of Barcelona. Helen Mays and June Jenks represented the class in the double quartet which was directed by Mrs. Clow. Aside from the assembly which was given in April, very little else was done this year. A large number of our students took part in the program and Miss Swan directed our play, Sauce for the Gosling's ’ The cast was Virginia Hirst as M rs. Taylor, Phyllis Barnes as Elizabeth, Margaret Raitt as the grandmother, Kermit Eckley as Mr. Taylor, Jacob Haaland as Robert, and Earl Baroch a5 J ames Ward. Htstorp of g ub=jfveafjman Class The Sub-Freshman class entered Fergus High February 23, 1925. The officers elected for the new class were John Sibbert, president; Theresa McKeown, vice- president, and Marie O’Neil, secretary and treasurer. These officers guided the class successfully through its first semester. Upon entering the high school the Sub-Freshmen were permitted a choice of three subjects, Spanish, Latin or industrial arts. The three other subjects, biol- ogy, English and algebra, were required. So far most of the Sub-Freshmen class enjoy high school work and believe the course being pursued will be of great benefit to them. Mother (proudly) : This is my son Ferdie. Isn't he a bright little fellow? Ferdie Martin (accustomed to being shown off in public) : What was that clever thing I said yesterday, mother?” Sh erman : My girl has two faults.

The b ride was charmingly attired in a brown gunny-sack emble, and a hat artistically trimmed in turkey quills. The groom looked neat in his cream canvas Prince of Wales suit. The bride very mod- estly boarded the train, and the scrappy couple started on their cross-country run. Gumdrop, Gumdrop, next station! ' The gushing bride looked up into the startled face of her old friend, Sam Gilluly, a brakie, on the slowest tram in Arkansas, who still professed to be the fastest man on the road. A great cloud of dust arose which made them all nearly strangle and grab for their handker- chiefs. Much to their surprise, who should be the unjust cause but Alora Cress, adorned in red flannels and green calico. It seems Alora had her Angers squeezed off in a recent ride with Alex Wilson. At last, the station of Gumdrop appeared in the distance. Everybody got off simply famished. Grace Symmes, who was running the beanery,' fed the hungry mob as best she could, but m spite of her efforts the friends left the small place as hungry as when they went in. While speaking with Grace, they learned that a lot of their other old friends were living in the same town. While they were conversing, in came the old Arkansas farmer, Tom McKeown, with his jaws working incessantly, an old corn cob pipe held between his teeth. His fair wife, formerly Miss Eleanor Duggan, was by his side. Suddenly they heard a bump! bump! bump ! accompanied by the bark of dogs. Who should be driving the mules but Beverly, who, after a mighty Whoa! jumped out of the wagon and began immediately to unload her chickens, with the help of Raven. When they saw these people they went into an ecstasy of joy. All at once Sam's mighty voice bawled out, All aboard ! and a mad rush was made for the Pullman. Upon passing the engine, they caught a glimpse of Curtis Barnes at the throttle, but because of their hurry they could not stop for a chat. Whe n they got in the train they saw a la dy in black, weeping copiously. Glad ys went over to console her and as she looked up she discovered it was Mrs. J. B. Rauch, formerly Grace Surprenant. When Gladys asked her the trouble, between sobs, she told Gladys that her poor J. B. was in the baggage car ahead, resting for the first time since he had been married. Through her great grief, Mrs. Marsh fainted, and as luck would have it, a doctor happened to be on the train, and who should it be but Stanley Smart, who was followed by his little wife. Ruby K-indschy. When Ru by saw Grace (Marsh), she gave a screech, and immediately Grace regained her conscious state, and in the confusion of meeting old friends, completely forgot her grief. On they journeyed, until the little brakie gruffly called, Yellville, Yellville, the next station ! The tired couple hastened to the hotel, and as they were reg- istering, they were astounded at the sight of Vera Daniels, who was the proud proprietor of the hotel. We learned from Vera that Margaret Jenkins and Juanita Creel were dancing1 at the Cafeteria, w ith I rene Ralston at the piano. She said this had been their third night in town, and they were taking the audiences by storm. “Why, did you hear about Mina? ” Vera babbled. “She is the peppiest dish- washer in town and all the swells hire her, when they give big doings ’ Vera was just full of gossip, and gushed on, as usual. “Wh y, do you know that Willard Akins is posing for a collar ad., and that Alice Brew and Leonard Dunn are on the vaudeville circuit? “Oh, you should have been here last week. We had the last number of Cow- path Ly ceum” and Sherman Stevens was the ir chief trombonest.” By the time they left Vera, they were certainly well informed, and they hastened to see all their friends in the Cafeteria. There they held a class reunion. Later the bride and groom boarded the slow train to continue their honeymoon trip through Arkansas. J.

Although Fergus entere d tbe field witb but f ew veteran players, tbe concentrated effort of Coacb Clyde J. Thompson an d tbe players turned out a wonderful fighting machine which threatened to take everything in the district. The first game of the year was with Winnett, a wonderful adversary, and after a hard and terrific fight the boys from the oil center were sent back with a score of Fergus 14, Winnett 6. Next m line came M oore and Stanford. They both drew goose eggs while Fer- gus romped away with scores of 10 and 13 in the respective games. Big Sandy was the game over which we were most joyous. Last year Big Sandy won the district championship, bu t this year Fergus won from th em w ith a score of 83-0. The team won from the alumni next and then prepared for Billings. In the preceding year, Billings won the state championship, but they received a big setback when they came to Fergus. At the end of the game the score stood 9-8 m favor of Fergus. This was considered the most skilled piece of playing of the season. The next game was to decide the district championship game. Fergus was highly confident and sent a special train over to Great Falls to the scene of the coming battle. The high wind, very heavily laden with dirt and dust, made play- ing very difficult. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 3-0 m Great Falls' favor. In the second quarter, Great Falls kicked another drop and increased their lead to 6-0. In the third quarter, Great Falls came back to the field with a new backfield and increased their lead again to 33-0. At the end of the game the score stood Great Falls 45, Fergus 0. Two more games were played in the sea son, one with Moore, in which Fergus won 27-6, and the other with Harlowton, -which Fergus also won 27-7. The letter men for football this year were: McCullom, quarterback and cap- tain; A. Burke, fullback and captain-elect; Zappone, left half and second all-state man; Tague, right half; Blackford, center; Weber and Thorny, guards; Lehman and Morss, tackles; B. Burke and Harry Twombly, ends, and last but not least, Simonfy, third all-state end. Many of these men will be w ith F ergus another year and w ith th e proper sup- port we will have an even more successful season th an that of 1924.

His work as quarterback and cap- tain will be written in the minds of students and the traditions of the school. His was the courage and unerring' judg- ment which pushed the team over for victory, and ran the Blue and Gold ban- ner to the top. ANGELO ZAP PONE “Jeff” Za ppone, the fighting' halfback, was one of the most dependable men on the team. When extra yardage was needed he could always be depended upon to make it. Jeff made the second all-state team this year. H is fighting spirit carried the team through many a tight place. MICHAEL SIMONFY uBun Simonfy, our star end, has proved his right to a place on the team by his flashy playing' and accuracy for catching' forward passes. He h as made much yardage for the team and school. The Butte paper selected him for the third all-state team. MELVILLE BLACKFORD “Mel,” our heavy center, could play his position with the greatest efficiency. His gait looked slow but it certainly covered the ground. After one of the second team had been hit by “Mel,” he usually went up to see Tom Ashlock for awhile. Anyone who met the impact of “Mel s” hands never forgot th em. EDWIN THOMY Ed. Thorny, at tackle, brou g'ht much ere dit for the school and himself. The line was greatly strengthened by his efforts at tackle. On th e defensive he was one o f the first men through the line. ALLAN BURKE Allan Burke, captain-elect, has shown his fitness for the position in seasons gone by. If ever an extra few yards were needed, Allan was called upon to perform the task. His position at fullback was always filled with the greatest efficiency. Fergus supporters con- fidently look forward to the work of the new captain next vear. 1025 Basketball Squad pjagUet IBall SPITE of tKe fact that the basketball season seemed to be quite ull, it must be remembered that the team was working under a cavy handicap. We had all new material on the team and many iferior courts to play on while abroad. These things all make a dif- ference. Although the majority of the out-of-town games were lost, nearly all the home games went to Fergus. Michael Simonfy was the star man of the season, receiving a berth as right guard on the all-district team. William Van Hyning, another good man, received honorable mention as left guard. Charles Smyth at center and Allan Burke and; Richard Shipman at forward did good work. Although Fergus did not place m the district tournament, it was in many ways the most successful tournament held here in years. The attendance was the largest ever, there being eighteen teams present, who brought two hundred men to compete in the games. Moore, our neighbor, won the championship of the district, with Roundup second, Klein third, Judith Gap fourth, Geraldine fifth, Hobson sixth, Grass Range seventh, and Moccasin eighth. Fergus played the first tournament game with Moore, and was beaten. The next game was with Geraldine and again Fergus lost. This eliminated Fergus entirely.

Many a true word has been spoken between false teeth. Gratis RACK work, in the season just past, commenced., after basketball sea- son closed, with a regular mdooi schedule. The coaching’ was divided between Mr. Thompson, Mr. Logan and Mr. Roubmek. The sport was supported very well for a while, but the number entered for prac- tice soon dwindled down to a few steady men. The rivalry among the classes was unusually strong this year and this spirit culminated in the inter-class track meet on April 14th. The most important events were the relay races which con- sisted of the 440, 880 and 1320 yards, and a medley of 110, 220, 440 and 880 yards. In the latter race each man ran one of the distances. The Juniors were the winners in this relay meet by securing' the greatest number of points. Other meets held this spring were the cross country run on the 18th of April and the county held and track meet on the 8th and 9th of May. Fergus sent four men to the State meet at Missoula where they did very good work considering the rather limited experience of most of the men. Jack Clarke: ' '’What did I make in my test?’1 Miss Musser: ’’'Mistakes.” Willard Akins : I like electricity.” Beryl M. : Yes, your dad says that you get everything charged at the stored’ pagetmll For the first time in several years Fergus had a number of lively baseball teams. Several games were played and each one showed an improvement over the last. Every class had a team which was picked from the class. Many of these players showed signs of developing into real stars if they had kept practicing. The first inter-class baseball game m three or four years was played at Symmes park between the Seniors and the Juniors. By much hard work and with the help of a good pitcher the Juniors succeeded m taking the Seniors into camp by a score of 19-8. Hap'” McCullom, Emery Kynett and Andrew M arsh tried to check the lead of the Juniors but it was a hopeless task. Simonfy pitched a good brand of ball for the Juniors. Skinner caught for the Juniors, while Lloyd Wallace received for the Seniors. Very few errors marred the game. A short while later they dropped another game to the Juniors but they were handicapped by the loss of their pitcher, Andy Marsh, who crossed his ribs and couldn’t pitch. The Freshmen-Sophomore team engaged the winner and came near defeat- ing them. However, in a seventh inning rally the Juniors brought in the neces- sary four runs and the score at the end stood 14-13. Shipman pitched four innings for the Juniors and then was replaced by Simonfy. The Sophs were a small lot and were heavy hitters, which, made it hard to pitch to them. With no practice they came near beating the bigger, more experienced players. Van Hymng pitched good ball for the Sophomores and Vanek caught for them. This game afforded the most excitement of any game this season. Only for the grit and determination displayed the Juniors would have dropped this game to the under- classmen. From all appearances, and with no further difficulties, the school championship will belong to the Juniors. trl£’ gltljleticg athletics at present in Fergus is an infant project—green llow — but one that, with a little nurturing care and encour- nt, will become a strong asset to the school. With this year st year as foundational work, and a promise of competitive next year, there seems little doubt that athletics for girls me to be one of the regular extra-curriculum subjects. This to the girls and they are grateful for the opportunity which next BASKETBALL At the beginning of the season some sixty girls were asking for intra-mural basketball. The request was granted but because so few turned out for practice no inter-class competitions were held. Instead, picked teams within the organi- zation contested and these contests proved to be most interesting and valuable for they uncovered some splendid material for next year's inter-school games. Two outside games were played, one won and one lost. The Junior High girls, a scrappy little team, sent over in mid-season, were defeated by a wide margin. They were good sports and played a fast clean game but were outclassed in size and skill. The game with the city teachers was a hotly contested affair, the first three periods of play ending in a tie score. During the last quarter the teachers stepped a new speed, uncovering a couple of new plays which the Hi girls could not get around, and winning by a close score. This was the last game of the sea- son, which may be considered successful for the adv ance gained in the cause of girls' athletics. With the following girls back again next year prospects for the game seem mighty good: Lucille d'Autremont, Grace Jackson, Laverne Heffner, Eileen Titter, Lillian Jacobs, Bernice Housel. The loss of Irene Ralston, who graduates this spring, will be felt at forward position. The babes were well rep- resented by Marie d’Autremont and Theresa McKeown. The girls are grateful to Miss Voorhees and Miss Clifford, the two who spon- sored their efforts and helped to make the season profitable and enjoyable. BASEBALL Baseball comes at a season when students are putting on the extra power, making the supreme effort. It conflicts with Senior play practice, special class meetings, seventh period conferences, etc. In spite of all this, baseball was very popular and afforded enjoyment and recreation for about twenty girls every eve- ning. The roll for different evenings was almost never the same, which showed that many more than twenty girls were interested in the game. As played it is a modification of indoor baseball, played on the bumpy, rocky lot where the old barracks once stood. Every afternoon at 4:15 the feminine Ty Cobbs and Babe Ruths of the school flocked to the lot where they exercised lungs and muscles just as lustily (and with better results) as do their kid brothers wrho stand on the sidelines and offer valuable (?) coaching. No outside contests 'were held —the games each night were played for the fun and sport they gave. In most of the se games two famous batteries, the Jenni-Humphrey and the Heff ner-Housel, opposed each other. Each combination was a peppy one and was vigorously and noisily supported. Eileen Titter or Lucille d'Autremont occasionally entered the pitcher s box in moments of crises. M iss Clifford sponsored the game and made the baseball lot safe for umpires. TRACK For the first time in Fergus history track has been offered girls. Few took advantage of the opportunity, because like baseball it came at a very busy season. Only a few events were offered this year but if the girls show themselves properly interested more will undoubtedly be added another season. Girls entered for the 50 and 100 yard dashes, for the running and standing broad jump, for the high jump, and for the basketball throw. Mr. Thompson planned to have the girls enter the county track meet, where, although they could not legally com- pete, they got some splendid practice. The girls feel grateful to Mr. Thompson for the interest he has shown and the time he has given them from his own work. TENNIS The Hi Girls, a very worthy girls organization, made it possible for the high school girls to have tennis this year. At the time of writing the courts are still m the stage of construction but will soon be ready for use. There is pro bably no finer game to teach proper co-ordination of muscles and sight. The game has not been on tbe list of athletics offered here before but it should become a popular sport. Much praise goes to Miss Will, dean of women and sponsor of the Hi Girls, for putting this project over.

Officers were chosen and Curtis Barnes was elected president, Marjorie Walker, vice- president, and Allene Cress, secretary. The council is composed of the president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer of each of the several classes in high school. The students meet every other week and discuss and pass on questions which come before the student body, such as school activities, letters for reward, rules and regulations for behavior of the student body and assemblies. The most important work done this semester was fixing a standard for the letter students of the high school, A different design of letter was chosen for track men, football, basketball, and public speaking (including declamatory, debate and extemporaneous speaking), as well as music. The personnel of the council (sitting, from left to right) is, Fred Pierre, James Martin, Romund Moltzau, Mina Coolidge, Curtis Barnes, Allene Cress, Rosamond McKeown, Marjorie Walker and Grace Jackson: (standing, from left to right), Bruce Akins. Willis Bottcher, John Sibbert. Michael Simonfy, Frank Munski, Alice Wilson, Helen Heald, Francis Smith, Pearl Short, Gene- vieve Boles, Thelma Williams, Theresa McKeown and Margaret Raitt. '“i Fergus Band Hanb ERGUS High School has developed this year what can be safely said to be one of the best school bands m the state. Most of the ere dit for this achievement goes to Mr. George R. Wrigley, who has given his time over to the training of the band. Last year the band was m an embryo stage and made very few public appearances. At almost the beginning of this school year the band was called out to play at pep meetings and at foot- ball games. From the first time it played, it was predicted that it would develop into an organization which would produce high class music. Just as one indica- tion of the band’s proficiency it might be said that during the year they have gone through three band books, each of which contained a little harder music than the preceding one. There are also a number of brilliant soloists in the band. Many of them won distinction at the State music meet, both this year and m previous years. Th ese include Mam Warden, who won first in cornet in '22: Harold Slater, who won first in trombone in ’25, and Keble Hirst, who won first in flute last year. Willis Bottcher, although only a Freshman, is alrea dy far advanced in clarinet work and is sure to place m the State meet in future years. The band now has a membership of a little over twenty-five, while at the first of the year the re were only eighteen pieces. The instrumentation follows: First cornets: Main Warden, Irving Bottcher, Howard Poison and Kent Bcatham. Second cornets: Albert Gates, Jac k Clarke and Catharine Buntin. First clarinets : Bruce Akins, Willis Bottcher and Sam Gilluly. Second clarinets: Roland Martin and Willard Akins. Trombones: Harold Slater, Kermit Eckley and Edward McConnell. Saxophones: Beryl Montgomery, baritone; Welsh Brogan, Thelma Bebb and Carl Gretencort, alto; Floyd Marten and Agnes Fergus, C melody. Baritone horn: Paul Copeland. Altos: Alor a Cress an d Hel en Heald. Bass horn: Dell Downing. Piccolo: Keble Hirst. Drums: Harold Little, Jacob Sanford and Sherman Stevens. Glee Club iee Clut) Barcelona,' forward in LTHOUGH during' the first semester there was very li ttle activity in choral work, there has been a great deal of interest shown in it during' the last period of the year. A boys and girls glee club was organized under the direction of Mrs. Byron Clow and about forty boys and girls turned out. For several weeks the time was spent m part singing and then books for the operetta, the Belle ot arrived ; parts were picked and at this writing', rehearsal is going quick time, in preparation for the production of May 22. The scene of the operetta is m old Spain and a romantic atmosphere pervades throughout the whole play, although the modern ideas that are beginning to per- vade Spain is brought in very cleverly. Those who received parts in the operetta iollow: Senor de Montera...........................................Laurel Dotson Senora de M ontera.............................. M ma Coolidge Marg'uerita de Montera, the heroine of the story. Caroline Caldwell M ercedes de Montera, sweetheart of Emilio, the toreador..... .............................................

B. R auch The membership of the glee club is a large one and all chorus work is done to a very good effect. Under the leadership of such a competent director as Mrs. Clow, all the effects were well brought out. The girls’ double quartet is also developing rapidly and has sung before the assembly. The members of this group are Frances Morley, June Jenks, Hel en Mays, Caroline Caldwell, Mina Coolidge, Buena Daugherty and Claudia Peterson. The personnel of th e glee club is as follows: Boys: Curtis Barnes, J. B. Rauch, Owen Dunn, Kenneth Downing, Jack Clark, Frank Cunningham, Laurel Dotson, Vernon Marten, Charles I lie, Sherman Stevens, Howard Poison, Sam Gilluly, Oscar M auland, Jaco b Flook, William Lofstrom and Clarence Preston. Girls: Bessie Barrows, Rozella Barrows, Alice Brew, Bernice Bid mead, Alberta Bridges, Kathleen Brodie, Caroline Caldwell, Mina Coolidge, Alora Cress, Ruth Cunningham, Helen Davers, Joyce Daniels, Vera Daniels, Eleanor Duggan, Constance Nave, Katherine Niles, Mary Nodson, Claudia Peterson, Frances P eterson, M ary Pierre, Irene Ralston, Frances Ruckman, Grace Surprenant and Pearl Short. Orchestra ( rcfjefitra ERGUS has always boasted of a good orchestra and this year has been no exception. Over forty students signed up for orchestra, making' it necessary to organize two separate orchestras. This made it more convenient to assemble m the small practice room and also allowed much better instruction. The group un der the direction of Miss Henrietta Smith has spent most of the time learning to play with one another m ensemble selections. Several good numbers were the result of this work. Their first appearance was m assembly and three or four numbers had to be played before the students were satisfied. Their second public appearance was at Christmas when they accompanied the Christmas Cantata, ' On to Bethlehem.'1 As soloists, Helen Heald, violinist; Wil- lis Bottcher, clarinet; Leonard Dunn, violinist, and Main Warden, cornet, added greatly to the credit of the music department when they played between acts. The following people compose the personnel of this orchestra: First violin: Leonard Dunn, Lucille d'Autremont, Fergus Rauch, Donovan Manuel, Lyle Tierney, Barbara Blum, Billie Vickerman, Lloyd Wallace, Wilb ert Guslander, Robert Hendon and Albert Vanek. Second violin: Kenneth Downing, Eileen Smyth, Frances Peterson, Alberta Bridges, Helen M ays and Rachel Lince. First cornets: Main Warden, Irving Bottcher and Howard Poison. Saxophones: Welch Brogan, Esther Humphrey and Agnes Fergus. Clarinets: Willis Bottcher, Bruce Akins and Sam Gilluly. Pianist: Claudia Peterson. The second group under the direction of Mr. George Wrigley is composed of the more advanced musicians, for several of this group have won medals at the State Music Meet m '24. The orchestra has been in demand so much that they have spent their practice periods m playing new selections from sight. This is a very difficult achievement and the members of the orchestra are to be compli- mented on their ability to do this so well. Scarcely a week has gone by that they have not been called upon to play at some program, meeting, or play. They have played at several assemblies, taking the audience hy storm. They have appeared at all the high school plays, including the farm play, Junior play, Fergus play. Senior play and also the operetta, State Parent-Teachers' Association meetings and several banquets. The audiences have always shown their appreciation of the music rendered, by wanting more, or never seeming to be entirely satisfied. Fergus is proud to have such an organization within its midst. The musicians making up this orchestra are : Violin: Helen Heald, Leonard D unn and Fergus Rauch. Trombone: Harold Slater. Flute : Keble Hirst. Cornet: Mam Warden and Irving Bottcher. Clarinet: Bruce Akins and Willis Bottcher. Saxophone: Beryl Montgomery and Welch Brogan. Baritone : Paul Copeland. Pianist: Alora Cress. Music Contest suits jttontana 0h $ t iHeet HE State M US1C M eet was held March 19-21 at Butte with the largest number of contestants participating since the meet was organized, four years ago. There were over three hundred musicians entered in the instrumental and vocal numbers. Because of such a large num- ber attending the music meet it has been decided that next year the state will be divided into districts and the winners of the districts will meet at Kalispell to play for State honors. This will give a better chance to those who are really inter- ested enough in music to put forth their full efforts and time to do their best. Butte deserves worthy mention for the way it entertained their guests and for the wonderful school spirit shown by the students of Butte High. Fergus was represented in a very creditable way by five musicians. Although there was but one of these that placed at the meet, they all played their numbers better than at any other time. Harold Slater, on the trombone, easily outclassed his rivals and as a result, won first place and a five dollar gold piece. Bruce Akins, clarinetist; Buena Daugherty, pianist, and Leonard Dunn, violinist, each deserve special mention for the way they playe d the lr pieces. The contestants were very fortunate in having such a good accompanist as Adora Cress, d he Fergus contestants gave her a beautiful copper cup as a reward for h er work. A special assembly was held for the contestants before they went to Butte and from the way the student body applauded the musicians it is evident that their time was not spent in fruitless practice. The selections were all harder and more difficult to play than those of preceding years, requiring much knowledge of music and technique. Each year the quality of music rendered by the con- testants has been raised. The State Music Meet was organized to create a greater interest for good music and from the results shown at the last meet it has already done a great deal of good along that line. Great Falls won first place with a large margin, Built; took second, and Missoula a close third.

The squad showed ability and at the first worked very hard, but all could not make the team. The entire group studied and prepared th eir speeches until the middle of October when the preliminary debate tryouts were held. All but six were eliminated m these try- outs. Those w ho survived were Ruth Cunningham, Lucille Orman, Ida Scott, Walter Mondale, Tom McKeown and Richard Manning. A debate was held in assembly as the final contest between these people. The State question, Resolved, that the United States should enter the Permanent Court of International Justice,” was upheld on the affirmative by Lucille Orman, Walter Mondale and Richard Manning. The negative issue was taken by Ruth Cunningham, Ida Scott and Tom McKeown. The judges were unanimous in their decision for the affirmative. At the conclusion of the debate the judges selected the three boys from the group to compose the regular Fergus High team, with Lucille Orman as the alternate. While the boys were preparing for a debate with Judith Gap, the second team consisting of the three girls met the Ryegate team here in Lewistown. The home team had the affirmative side of the question but the judges decided that the Ryegate team presented the stronger argument and so the decision was awarded to the negative. In the first regular debate, that held with the Gap, Fergus maintained the negative. The Judith Gap team presented a very firm argument but the Fergus boys came back with the most convincing rebuttal. The first victory of the sea- son was scored for the Blue and Gold when the unanimous decision for the nega- tive was announced. All the students of the high school attended this debate because it was held in assembly. The president of the student council, Lucille d’Autremont, presided. The s econd contest was at Harlowton where the team was likewise composed of three boys. They were good speakers, but were handicapped by the lack of material and experience. Again Fergus had the negative and was successful in receiving the unanimous verdict of the judges. In the third debate the district championship was decided. This was held at Denton. The Denton team had won two debates on the affirmative side of the subject so Fergus was allowed to keep the negative side. This contest was the closest of the whole season for both teams had able speakers as well as effective arguments. Fergus felt fortunate to receive a two to one decision. This victory gave us the undisputed right to district honors. Miss Adelia Flail has been responsible for the splendid work of the team. Her intelligent coaching and helpf ul suggestions have been invaluable.

Tbo se entered were Lois King of M occasin and Rickard Manning' of Fergus. Miss King' spoke on Japanese ex- clusion. Tbe Fergus representative spoke on the world court. The judges, Mrs. Warr, Mrs. Luedk e and Mr. Bruce Jol mson, awarded the decision to Fergus. This entitled our school to send a representative to the State contest at Bozeman. The State preliminaries were held m room 301, mam building. State College, Bozeman, on March 3rd. There were sixteen entries from the various districts of the State. The speakers were given eleven subjects from which they could choose any one. Th ey then drew slips to see m what order they were to speak. After half an hour of study the first speaker went to deliver his talk. Each speaker was allowed three mintues. None of the speakers were permitted to hear the others and no spectators were admitted. The five teachers of the English department acted as judges. When the eight that ranked the highest were announced it was found that Richard Manning had survived the preliminaries. The speakers met the next day at 10:30 and drew three subjects apiece. They then chose one of those subjects for tkeir address. Fergus s speaker spoke on tbe subject, Failure to Ratify the Child Labor Amendment Was a Step Back- ward.’ ’ Th e speakers were given two hours and a half in which to look up mate- rial and practice their speeches. 1 he speeches themselves had to be over five minutes in length and be complete m ei ght. Tbe y averaged six or seven minutes apiece. Tbe judges for the finals gave the following decisions: First, Richard Manning, of Fergus; second. Miss Dannie Burke, of Great Falls; third, Russel Smith, of Bill mgs. This makes the second time that Fergus has won this con- test, the first time being m 1911. ONE-ACT PLAYS first dramatic productions of tfie year were two short plays, Pierrot of tfie Minute' and A Welsfi Honeymoon,” presented by the Public Speaking class. Zelda Attix and Mina Coolidge had tfie parts m tfie first. Tfie cast of tfie second was made up of Helen Heald, Ruth Cunningham, Rudolph Lehman, Curtis Barnes and Boyd Cope. In Pierrot of tfie Minute,” Pierrot, a page from tfie French court, is in search of love. In tfie garden of tfie palace fie meets tfie fairy. Moonbeam. She takes tfie task of teaching him. He proves an apt pupil but tfie fairy has to return to Moonland at dawn, great to tfie sorrow of Pierrot. Tfie Welsfi Honeymoon' deals with tfie domestic troubles of tfie Vavasour Jones family (Rudolph Lehman and Helen Heald). On Hallowe'en, a year before, both had gone to tfie church and called down a curse on tfie other. Now, a year later, they are both scheduled to die at midnight. As tfie hour draws near they both repent and grow sentimental. Tfie play ends with tfie joyful drinking of w-assail, and much rejoicing between Vavasour and his wife. WHY THE CHIMES RANG” Why tfie Chimes Rang,” a Christmas play, was tfie first open to tryouts from tfie entire school. Tfie play was adapted from an old legend. According to tfie legend there are m tfie top of tfie cathedral, which extends above tfie clouds, a set of wonderful chimes which ring upon every Christmas when a perfect gift is made. This has not happened for one hundred years. On this night it is rumored that tfie chimes will ring. Holger (Robert Hendon) stays home to care for a mysterious old woman who has entered tfie cabin. His brother Steen (F red Pierre) and fiis uncle Ber tel (C urtis Barnes) go to see tfie miracles. Suddenly a wall of tfie cab in disappears and reveals tfie interior of tfie cathedral. Tfie rich man (Roscoe Welsfi), the sage (Keble Hirst), and tfie courtier (Sherman Ste- vens) present their rich gifts to tfie priest (Edward McConnell). Then Holger brings fiis few' pennies. There is a moment of silence, then, tfie chimes ring out. An angel (Allene Cress) enters and says that it is Holger who has made them ring. Then tfie cathedral vanished as rapidly as it had appeared. THE AMERICAN BRIDE Ike first big’ play of th e year was the annual farm play. The American Bride was chosen. The story is laid in England. Roland Farquhar is engaged to marry Sadie Chapin, an American girl, the sister of his chum, Sidney. The girl is in New York. Roland is left a fortune with the provision that he marry in twenty-four hours. In order to get around this difficulty, Sidney agrees to dress up as his sister until she arrives. Th en follow some scenes at the hotel in which they are nearly caught by the Bishop and Mrs. Farquhar. Sadie, upon her arrival, disguises herself as the maid. M any complications arise from the bride’s man- ners or rather lack of them. Finally the -whole thing turns out agreeably with the wives properly dis- tributed. Keble Hirst in the difficult double role of Sidney covered himself with honor. Harry Twombly deserves mention for his work as Roland Farquhar. Howard Poison did well in the character role of Bishop Farquhar. Rex Eastman provided the humor as Colonel White-White. Others who did well were Mrs. Farquhar (Mildred Isaacs), Alice Farquhar (Irene Rolston), Sadie Chapin (Mil- dred Spicer), Lord Spoonbeigh (Sherman Stevens), Mrs. Sibthorpe-Mills (Jessie Davis), and Tibbs and Charley (Fred Pierre). Miss Snyder, the public speaking teacher, directed this as she had the other productions in a very able way. COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN” As a benefit for the Annual, the first semester staff of the Fergus presented Come Out of the Kitchen. This clever comedy has an old Virginia mansion for a setting. The children of Mr. Daingerfield determine to rent the old mansion in order to keep their father in Europe where he is traveling for his health. They rent it to Burton Crane, a wealthy northerner. He insists that all the servants shall be white. Finally, after much difficulty, a set is secured from an employ- ment agency but at the last minute they change their minds. The Daingerfield family then decides to play the role o f the servants. Olivia, the younger daugh- ter, becomes the Irish cook, Elizabeth is the maid, Paul the butler, and Charles the stable boy. One of the difficulties arising from this is explaining how an Irish cook can be both the sister of a French maid and an English butler. Burton Crane arrives wi th his party, consisting of his attorney, Solon Tucker, Mrs. Falkener and her daughter Cora. Th ey are followed by Thomas Lefferts, a poet, who is in love with Cora. All these men and Randy Weeks, the Dainger- field agent, are found at some time in the kitchen with the cook, great to the anger of Crane. On one occasion Lefferts gets locked in a closet with Mandy, a negro mammy. All of the servants prove unsatisfactory except the cook and so are dismissed. The play ends when Crane reveals his knowledge of the cook’s disguise and pops the question. Mina Coolidge made an excellent Irish cook. Floyd Martin ably handled the part of Burton Crane. Curtis Barnes as Paul Daingerfield gave a good interpretation of a butler. Margaret W arr was a very haughty and digni- fied Mrs. Falkener. Grace Symmes as Cora, Alice Brew as Amanda, Charles 111 e as Solon Tucker, Alex Whlson as Charles Daingerfield and Edward McConnell as Randy Weeks all did exceptionally well. Credit must be given to Miss Musser for her capable direction. BELIEVE ME, XANTIPPE The Junior play was one of the most successful m recent years. Believe Me, Xantippe, a Harvard Forty-seven workshop play, is a clever mixture of the east and the west. George MacFarland makes a bet of $30,000 with his friends Sole and Brown that he can commit a crime and escape arrest for one year. They plan to shadow him until the crime, a forge ry, is discovered, then arrest him, but he contrives to escape. On September thirtieth of the next year, within a few clays of the time limit, MacFarland is in Colorado. Stumbling1 on the hunting' cabin of Dolly Camman, daughter of Sheriff Camman, he enters and reveals him- self by his expression 'Believe Me, Xantippe.” After being captured by Dolly, he helps her catch a desperado by the name of ' Simp Calloway. Both he and Simp” are taken and lodged in the county jail. A girl by the name of Violet comes to help Simp” and gets jailed herself. A wire is received saying that Sole and Brown have been lost at sea and things begin to look blue’ for MacFarland. When the officials arrive at last from New York, Dolly sends WVen WVigley, the jailer, down town on an errand, and meanwhile releases the prisoner. He tries to ride a horse and fails, and is hauled back to jail by Dolly’s aunt, Martha. The New York officials turn out to be Sole and Brown and all is well. Bob Merril was a very convincing George MacFarland, Madeline Schobert did very well as Dolly. The cast was unusually well balanced for the rest had difficult character parts which were well interpreted. They were Brown (Allan Burke), Sole (Albert Mielke), Sheriff Camman (William Lofstrom), Simp” Calloway (Bill Tobin), Wren” Wrigley (Roy Skinner), Violet (M ary Shaw) and Aunt Martha (M ar- garet McG oveney). “TWELFTH NIGHT” The Class of 25 returned to an earlier tradition of Fergus High when they selected Shakespeare’s most delightful comedy, “Twelfth Night,” for their class play. The preparation of the play involved much hard work on the part of not only the cast but of several other members of the class who looked after the various details of staging. The comedy was presented May 15, in the Junior High School auditorium, in a setting that was reminiscent of the out-of-door production of earlier years. The forest setting employed was banked with evergreens and wild flowers, and the varying scenes involved were indicated by the most simple shifts of properties. What chiefly served to enhance the acting itself was the incidental music woven about every mood of the play by the very excellent orchestra which donated its services for this occasion. Mr. John Kenny was the director, who gathered together a group of the most experienced musicians of Lewistown, Their generous service was deeply appre- ciated by the class. As there were only three women characters in the entire play, the honors between girls and boys were equalized by using girls in five of the men’s parts. Grace Symmcs as Feste the clown, sang the delightful lyrics sprinkled through the text, and Helen Heald played her violin in the court scenes : Following is the cast: Olivia......................................................Margaret Jenkins Viola........................................................Mildred Spicer Maria................................ .......................Beverly Frields Sir Toby.................................................. ....

Miss Margaret Snyder Carmtoal On last Hallowe’en night, Fergus produced one of the best live-wire car- nivals in years. It had been explained beforehand that the proceeds were to be used in defray- ing the large debt or the athletic association: and so, with customary spirit, the entire student body and a good share of their parents, appeared on the scene, filling the corridors an d the gym., making lots of noise, enjoying themselves, attending the “jitney dance” and viewing' the various side-shows. Each class had agreed to charge no more than ten cents for admission to its respective performance. In order to make it more convenient for the audience, ten cent tickets cou Id be purchas ed m any number, at a small stand located m the mam corridor. It will be a long' time, indeed, before any of those who saw the carnival for- get the “sights ’ and “visions” that were in store for the curious visitor. Who will forget the baby show featuring’ “Mel” Blackford, the hula dancers, or the chamber of horrors. And ah ! Doesn’t it just make your mouth water to think of Ye Cider Inn ’ where shrouded ghosts glided about, serving customers. Criers, gypsies and Spanish dancers called, beckoned and inveigled the carnivalers to the fortune-telling booths and dancing' revels. Then, presto, the Hindu magician, a darkened room, a sudden flash, and that is all! Magic, dances, revues, all went to make up a pleasant evening that will long hold a prominent place in our memories. Last but not least, tlie next day we learned that $400 had been cleared, which goes to show what co-operation, energetic pushing and real school spirit can do. Floyd: “Did you hear Reverend Top’s sermon yesterday?” Walter: “No, what was the text?” Floyd: “Let’s see. Oh, 1 know, 'You should worry, you’ll get the quilt’.” Walter: “Was not. It was 'Fear not, you shall he comforted’.’ Floyd: “Well, it means the same.” Tom McKeown: “Say, that’s a fine tie that you have on.” Curtis Barnes: “Where do you suppose I got it?” Tom : “Oh, I d ou t know. Vhere?” Curtis: “Around my neck, of course.” “FERGUS FOLLIES” The Fergus Follies, given at the Junior High School auditorium on April 17, was a complete success. The entertainment was given to help defray the athletic debt incurred during tbe past year; and the students as well as townspeople sup- ported it very enthusiastically. Each class and a few clubs contributed stunts to make up tbe entire program. Tbe orchestra played several excellent selections between the different acts. All the stunts were equally well done, and there was enough variety in the program so that all were please d. TheS enior stunt was very original and deserves special mention as also does the harmony” put on by the Burke boys. The lower classes showed their ability by putting on “A Southern Evening” with colonial costumes. They sang old love songs and danced the Virginia reel and rye waits:. Agricultural (Iuli Agricultural Club HERE did we come from? We popped up out of the bad lands of the west. But of course this is not altogether true, because Lewis- town is far from being situated in the bad lands. Well, we popped up anyway, at least it seems that way. The first thing anyone knew we were holding meetings every two weeks and listening to some of the best speakers we have ever heard. The club started hitting on all six” with Odin Mauland at the wheel, as president, with Jacob Sanford as vice-president, Jack Cox as treasurer, and Vernon Reed as secretary. The vice- president was delegated the job of selecting the program committees and then seeing to it that these committees provided an attractive program at each meet- ing. The club has had such speakers as Ju dge DeKalb, Mr. Holl cnback, Mr. Brown, Mr. Dissly. Mr. Wade and Mr. Forbes. All had some practical talk to present to the club members. The last speaker, County Agent Carl Peterson, talked on his work and secured the interest of the club m his work and also that of the Farm Bureau. The night of the big carnival the Ag. Club put on a hot dog” stand to help boost the receipts of the affair to over four hundred dollars. The first school dance was sponsored by the Aggies. Forty-three dollars were cleared and this sum was used to send eight representatives to the Young M en's Voc :at.ional Con- ference at Bozeman in February. The club could not have done this had not the orchestra, led by Hele n Heald, so cheerfully given of its services to make the dance a success. Just a few -weeks after the return of the delegates from the Bozeman con- ference, the club gave an invitational dance m the gym. where about fifty couples mixed in a social way. The club believes that every member should cultivate the art of getting acquainted with his fellow human beings, especially o the r members of th e club, and, of course, the gentler sex as well. Some of the boys tried the “fantastic step” for the first time and, indeed, enjoyed the experience. The last activity of the social season was a spring picnic at which everyone had a most hilarious time. Member ship in the club is limited to those students of the Fergus County High School who have had or are taking work m the agricultural course. The new officers for the second semester were Jacob Flook, president; Joe Milner, vice- president; Clyde Taylor, treasurer, and Levi Brailey, secretary. A TIP FOR SHAKESPEARE He: “How do you like Shakespeare?” She: “Oh, alright, but he se ems to use such dreadfully worn-out. phrases, as vAll the world’s a stage,' and Alas, poor Yorick’. The main difference cud, is that the c between a girl chewing her gum and generally looks thoughtful.—Exchange. cow chewing her W( e (J ppartunitj) Club The Opportunity Club, which is made up of the normal training' girls, is one of the leading clubs of Fergus High. Mrs. Rose, who is at the head of the normal department, helped to make it a success. Grace Yost as president. Elise Tubb as vice-president, and Eileen Smyth as secretary, filled their offices exceedingly well. Special programs were held every other Tuesday in the month and were well attended by all the girls m the club. The girls gave their farewell assembly m March, just before going out for practice teaching. The practice teaching will complete their normal training course and then they will be qualified to teach. The assembly was one of the best of the school year and the girls deserve a great deal of credit. The program was called “A Day m a Rural School.” A party was given for the clu b March 20. One of the fe atures o f the evening was a talk by Mr. Mays on his recollections of early teaching. His illustrations were very amusing and were highly appreciated. After the refreshments were served the girls all danced the Virginia reel. The honor guests were Mr. and Mrs. Mays, Mrs. Rose, Ada Swears, Eva Wright, Grace Yost, Cora Nordahl, Hattie Hawkins, Eileen Smyth, Helen Erooks. Maunne Shortly, Ann Hamilton, Lucille Quickenden and Pearl Olson. |§ pamsf) Club About the middle of the year, the Spanish students, with the direction of Mr. Gardner, their instructor, reorganized the Spanish Club, which for a few years bad not been in existence here. The upper classmen, Spams h III and IV, met to organize. They made a constitution and held election of officers. Marion Cald- well was elected president; Welch Brogan, vice-president, and Hal Kelly, sec- retary-treasurer. Throughout the year these upper classmen held initiations, initiating into their '‘secret” realms all the students of the lower Spanish classes. It was also permitted that one who had previously studie a sP anish might belong if he or she so chose. After the club began functioning properly a big dance and program was given m the study Kail to which the whole school was invited. This was to induce more students to join and in a way had its desired effect. The party was a decided suc- cess and was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. One or two plays were given by certain members of one of the upper classes on their meeting days every other Friday. Before the year was over a large num- ber of students bad become members and the only regret they had was that the school year passed so soon that they did not have time for real work in the club. BORROWING AS A FINE ART “Hullo, Brown. Are you using your lawn-mower this afternoon? “Yes, I m afraid I am.” “Splendid! Then you won’t be wanting your tennis racket — I've broken mine !” Jfcrgug iJigfj (girls;’ Club The purpose of this newest organization in Fergus is to get the best out of life and pass it on to others, to encourage spirit within the school and feeling of love for others. Our motto is Lovalty, Character, and Faith, the three thing's we consider most necessary for a happy life. Blue and gold are our colors. Since we call ourselves Fergus High Girls, we thought it best to keep the school colors. The flower that we selected as our symbol is the primrose. There are five mam divisions in our organization, which are school spirit, social service, program, finance and entertainment. All girls registered in Fergus are eligible to become members of this club upon the payment of the ten cents dues. The various departments are financed by dues only, while the money obtained from other sources is used to carry on special work. The president and vice-president are elected from the Senior class an d the constitution is amended to that effect. All nominations have to be approved by the f acuity before any election. The secretary may be elected from out of the three lower classes. She must have business ability since she has charge of the official records and carries on all the correspondence. The treasurer is appointed by the commercial teacher. Election of officers is held twice a year. The first officers of the club were Mildred Isaacs, president; Margaret Holmes, vice- president; Donna Moore, secretary, and Irma Ward, treasurer. It is sincerely hoped that the organization in the future will have as efficient officers and as much spirit behind them as we have had this year. A club could not fail with such a dean as Miss Will sponsoring it. Her efforts have been unlimited in promoting the welfare of the Fergus High Girls. The program committee had charge of an assembly on the 11th of May. Since each class promoted the planting of a tree or vine on Arbor Day, the Fergus Hi-GTs appointed the various class presidents to make the dedication speeches at the tree planting. The club gave a splendid stunt at the Fergus Follies on April 18th. On the twenty-fifth of April the girls sponsored an all-school dance which was well attended. The members in th is newly founded group are a lively bunch. The way they have gone about raising money by candy sales and penny drives shows that fact to be true. Also the tennis courts at the barracks were repaired by the girls with the help of the boys and several teachers. Next year the club will be active at the beginning of the first semester and will help to get the new students started properly m their high school career. A Freshman sighted something green. He thought it was some grass; But on coming closer to it, ’Twas nothing but a looking glass. MODERN ENGLISH English Teacher: Michael, when I have finished you may repeat what I have said in your own words : See the cow. Isn t she pretty? Can the cow run? Yes, the cow can run. Can she run as fast as the horse? No, she cannot run as fast as the horse. Michael: Lamp de cow. Ain't she a beaut? Kin the cow hustle in wid the horse? Naw, de cow ain't in it wid the horse! ®f)e Home economics Club In the winter of 1924 a new club launched forth to try its sails on the sea of experiment. This was the Home Economics Club, with Judith Creel as presi- dent, Esther Obee, vice-president, and Loraine Potts as secretary-treasurer. Sev- eral committees were appointed, among them a constitutional and program committee. The home economics department was then established m the b asement of the dormitory, so we set about to make one bright corner of our own. This corner was determined to be a dining' room and for several successive meetings the place was a scene of chattering activity. The girls, under the supervision of Misses Parker, Stout and Quarrels, calsomined and painted the room, a buffet, tea wagon, dining table and chairs. Others made dainty curtains, a lunch set and buffet set. Our second main meeting was a illustrated talk by Mrs. T. T. Taylor on Interior Decoration, after which we initiated our cozy dining1 room. The third and last meeting for that school year was a picnic down Casino where we toasted marshmallows and played games. In September, 1924, we again organized the club and this time Esther Obee, as president, Erma DeKJyn as vice-president, and Amy Gore as secretary-treas- urer, were chosen to steer the ship to success. Our committees were publicity, membership and program. The program committee consisted of Doris Barnes as chairman, Frances Peterson and Rose Jenni, who did very creditable work. Mrs. Thomas, the Girls' Club manager, gave us a very interesting talk and demonstration on dainty presents for Christmas. At the same meeting Miss Marsh gave a demonstrated Tied and Dyed lecture. Several meetings were spent in dressing dolls for Christmas. These dolls, turned out in clever costume, seven m all, were given to little girls who would otherwise have had a bleak Christmas. One doll of better grade was presented to the St. Joseph s hosp ital to occupy the lagging hours for some sick child. The second semester we elected new officers, the following taking the helm : Esther Obee, president; Leola Fulp, vice-president, and Helen Hopkins, secretary- treasurer. The first meeting was open to all girls of Fergus High, and at this a series of vocational talks were given by Mrs. Shaffer, police matron; Mrs. Edwards, stenographer; Miss Barlow, nurse; Miss Main, librarian; Miss Wood, dressmaker, and M rs. Rose, teacher. All talked about the advantages of their particular vocation, the field it opened for a girl who wished success, the returns, and the benefits. At the second meeting a clever little home economics play was presented. The theme concerned home problems and decoration. A demonstrator speaks to a women's club and uses the home of one member for an example because her husband complains of never having a sitting room. The cast was : M rs. Phillips (Lois Martin), whose home they were using; Miss Needham (Leola Fulp), the demonstrator; Mrs. Hunter (Pearl Beal), who is trying to reduce; Mrs. Winter (Mary MacGowan), a bride; Mrs. Moriey (E rma De Kdyn), Mrs. Brown (Vera Berkvam), Mrs. Perry (Hel en Powell), and other club members. PROGRESS Freshman: I don't know. Sophomore : I am not prepared. Junior: I do not remember. Senior: I don't believe I can add anything to what has been said.—Exchange. Rational 2|onot ocietj� At a faculty meeting in the latter part of March, fourteen Seniors were elected to membership in the National Honor Society for High Schools. Those who were th us honored are : Ruth Cunningham, Eleanor Duggan, Lucille Quickenden, Mar- garet Warr, Leonard Dunn, Frances Morley, Helen Heald, Allora Cress, Curtis Barnes, Margaret Jenkins, Paul Osweiler, Harold Slater, Alice Brew and Bev- erly Frields. The principles upon which the members were chosen are character, leader- ship, scholarship, service — virtues that are most useful to society and therefore are worthy of encouragement. One must be willing to render service gladly, demonstrate a high degree of scholarship, meet individual obligations promptly and completely, and uphold the highest ideals of the school to which he belongs. The Seniors who have been elected to the honor society have at various times exhibited tbeir ability to meet with these definite and very worthy principles. Fergus has had a chapter of this organization within her school life since 1922 when the first elections occurred. From that year until the present day th ere have been annual elections to the organization. Last year the class was honored by having the following representatives m the elections: Sylvia War- ren, Mildred Sherry, Emily Bottcher, Catherine Scott, Glenn Smith, Norma Beck, Ruth Ackerly, Ernest Brown, William Skarda, Richard Sherman, Theodore McChe sney, Tom Garry, Catherine Pierce and Alice Reuther. In colleges high scholarship is recognized by election to Pbi Beta Kappa, a society which was organized in 1776. Many high schools planned similar socie- ties in order to honor splendid work in the scholastic line. The fir st honor society for secondary schools was founded m 1900 by Dr. William B. Owen of the Chi- cago Normal College, when he was principal of the old South Side Academy, Chicago. This group was termed Phi Beta Sigma. The movement spread to other schools in other states, various state federa- tions for scholarship recognition were formed until in 1917 it was decided that a common badge for the entire country would be more valu able th an so many local honors. Thus it was that the National Honor Society had a gradual but very definite origin. During the first two years after the society was formed over two hundred chapters ranging from Maine to Honolulu have been granted charters with an aggregate membership of more than six thousand. The newest members in Fergus then may feel very proud to be chosen members in this well-known organization. A BASIS FOR MIRTH Our father slipped upon the ice, Because he couldn't stand. He saw the glorious stars and stripes ; We saw our father land. ■Exchange. Fornus Sts IT Journalism Seniors — and incidentally, most all boys. The work was new and somewhat strange to the class, but their willingness to learn was always evident. The sub- ject, itself, was interesting because of its practical nature. As the different phases of news writing were studied, they were put to practical use in the pub- lishing of the Fergus,1' the bi-monthly paper. N ews stories, feature stories, editorials, and personal items, as well as news paper “make-up, were studied m turn and some attention was given to typog- raphy. and to a brief study of the h istorical development of journalism. The work of such great newspapermen as Horace Greeley, James Gordon Bennett, and Joseph Pulitzer was ot much interest to the class. The members of the journalism class for the most part composed the staff of the paper for the first semester. Margaret Warr, elected m the previous spring, was editor-in-chief and proved to be most capable. When the elections for the second semester staff occurred, Margaret continued as editor of the year book; the rest of the staff were also transferred to the year-book staff. The new staff for the paper was chosen from the new class in newswriting. Their -work was much the same as that of the first semester. Several special issues of tbe Fergus appeared throughout the year, one at Christmas; another, a ' dumbbell issue m the spring, and the third, a special commencement number, m June. During the year the Fergus became a member of both the Central Inter- scholastic Press Association, and the Montana State Press Association. The K HIS is the first year that journalism or news writing as it may be called more informally has been offered as a separate course m the curriculum of Fergus County High School. In the first semester there were fourteen students enrolled in the class. Th ese were most all Scholastic Editor,’ a very helpful publication printed at the University of Wis- consin, is received by the staff. Several new features were added to the paper and the departments were strength ened m a noticeable way. The b oard and staff for the second semester was composed of the following: The Board—Editor, Harry Twombly; associate editor, Keble Hirst: business manager, Howard Poison; assistant business manager, Charles Smyth. The Staff — Feature editor. Aliene Cres s; upper class editor, Marjorie Walker; forensics. Raven Lindblom ; music, Helen Heald; exchange. Beryl Mont- gomery; circulation manager, Boyd Cope; general reporters, Margaret Je nk m 3, Edwin Thorny, Avis Spaulding, Ruth Cunningham, Vera Daniels, Lucille Orman, Laurel Do tson ; athletics, Arthur Ball; staff cartoonist, Eva Hubbard; staff stenog- raphers, Ruby fvmdschy, Grace Surprcnant. NEW FEATURES Several new features were added to the Fergus this year and these proved to be popular throughout the various issues. The English department co-oper- ated with the paper by submitting from time to time book review's by modern writers such as Willa Cather and Joseph Hergesheimer. Beside this feature, short stories were printed and a Poets’ Corner was established. The latter was supported by contributions from the students or occasional bits of poetry clipped from exchange papers. A new humor column called Steam from the Radiator was originated and this proved to be a popular item. By reducing the back page1’ humor to two columns, boxed, the ran k of the paper was raised notably. At two times during the year the Fergus was submitted m newspaper con- tests. The first rating was received from the University of Wisconsin at the Interscholastic Press meeting m October. The judgment in regard ro the paper helped raise the quality of the paper for the remainder of the time of publication. Again, in March, several issues were sent to the journalism department at Madi- son and this time they received much higher commendation. The grade of good for make-up, literary work and typography was added to the score sheet. More local rating was given at Missoula in May. To the Montana Press meeting were sent the five best issues of the entire year. These included the Christmas and the football edition. One of the strongest departments m the Fergus was the editorial. The policy of the editorial writers was to promote school spirit, school activities, and to com- ment on the current affairs of the day. The following editorial is suggestive of the type that the Fergus encouraged : PROCRASTINATION Procrastination is the thief of time. A philosopher once applied this to the entire world. It can be taken to heart by all. Another phdosopher followed with Time is money. We have all heard of the man who lost one golden hour set with sixty golden minutes. ’ Yet every day Fergus students are losing golden hours and diamond minutes. Every time we put off writing that essay ’til tomorrow or postpone that work until I have time, we are procrastinating. Every time we put anything off we procrastinate. Procrastination is the thief of time. We steal our own time, and time is money. The time that disappears around the school would buy a great deal. The economics student learns about conservation of natural resources. An even greater conservation could be made if all the wasted time was saved. Nat- ural resources can be saved by 1 aw but time has to be saved by every individual. Procrastination, the thief, may be stopped by a posse. Not a posse such as the sheriff leads but a posse made up of one person chasing his own habit of putting things off until the next day.
