Jftgf) ikljool HE F ergus County High School was organized m the sum- mer of 1899, with an enrollment of seventeen, housed in temporary quarters until 1904, when the first permanent building was erected. The present building, which was erected under the prmcipalship of Frank L. Cummings, who served from 1916 to 1923, will be completed by the addition of a new unit thi is year. The tradition of the school has always been to serve the community and to train for life. 'Fergus for Service” has been the slogan of the school for twenty-eight years.

Band Ninete e n H u n d r e d Twenty- seven The Fergus Annual Page 9 THE PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS Htfe J£ tantmrti£ ONESTY, good will, lair play, self-restraint, and re not any more difficult to maintain than are the opposite qualities. It is only when we wish to make the transition from a lower to a higher standard that our best effort is necessary. To most men present stand- ards are natural and human. Our mental and spiritual machinery seems to be taxed to the utmost, holding fast to what is good. To raise life to higher standards seems beyond most of us. Yet Fergus expects you to make that effort. No one can compel you. Only your own desire can do that. If you do not want to undertake the great adventure, you will find associates who will agree with you. You will even be told that no one takes such an attitude seriously. Let me assure you that a few do. They are what Matthew Arnold calls the “saving remnant.“ Be of that few. C. H.

It was a verdant group of Freshmen who met in the gym for their first class meeting. Mr. Freed and M rs. Rose, the class sponsors, took charge until officers could be elected. These were Rex Eastman. Pres- ident ; Thel ma Willi ams, Vice-President; and Grace Cresap, Secre- tary. The Sophomores gave a successful party for the Freshmen and we began to feel more at home. We impressed our importance on the school by winning a flag offered as a prize to the class which got the greatest number of parents out to hear a lecture on prohibition. The class of 27 began their Sophomore year in earnest with Miss Hall and Mr. Logan as sponsors. Rex Eastman, Berkin Hanley and Grace Phillips held the offices of President, Vice-President, and Secretary, respectively. Officers for the second semester were Romund Moltzau, President; Fred Pierre, Vice-President: Rosamond McKeown, Secretary; and Thelma Williams, Treasurer. Richard Man- ning was elected class reporter. The Sophs gave a well attended and lively party and took a spirited part in the carnival. The Sophomore Assembly on St. Patrick's Day was a great success. Gerhardt Lehmann played guard on the football team and did very creditable work. Richard Manning was on the school debate team and won the State Extem- poraneous speaking contest at Bozeman. As Juniors we distinguished ourselves in many fields, including debate and athletics. Fred Pierre won third place in Extemporaneous speaking and Romund Moltzau won the same honor in the Extemporaneous writing contest. The Junior play, “Dulcy,” was a decided success. The Junior-Senior prom and banquet were considered the best in the history of the school. Class officers were as follows: Robert Hendon, Rosamond McKeown, Irene d'Autremont and Fergus Rauch for the first semester, and Richard Manning, Owen Dunn, Marion Caldwell and Gaylord Cudney for the second semester. The class sponsors were Miss Marsh and Mr. Carter and much of the success of the class was due to their unselfish efforts. This year the class has assumed the great responsibilities that fall to the Seniors. Gerhardt Lehmann captained the football team through one of the most successful seasons m many years. Fred Pierre represented the school in the extemporaneous writing contest at Bozeman. Barrie's “The Youngest” was chosen as the Senior play and was very credit- ably staged. The Senior assembly was the peppiest assembly of the year. The Seniors organized an orchestra of their own which played at many affairs. Four more successful years could hardly be accredited to any class. Nineteen IT u n il r e d 'Twenty-seven The Fergus A nnua) Page 29 ropl)ccp of tfje Cla£ of 1927 ETERMINED to find out what had become of the cla ss of 27 in the last ten years I sent a list of them to Harold Wight, editor of “Struttin Along in the Democrat-News asking him to look back over the files of the paper for the year of 1937. It wasn’t long before I had received the following clippings : The following couples were in attendance at an enjoyable dinner party given by Mr. and Mrs. Akins (Genevieve Brew), Mr. and Mrs. Wendell And erson (Thelma Bebb), Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Welch (Elma Darcy), and Mr. and Mrs. Perkins Burnett (Marcella Hubbard). Kent Beatham, leading cornetist of Sousa s Band, will be heard over the radio tonight, 8:15 Mountain time, from Station K O A.

For we, the class of 1928, shall step into their shoes and become the awe-inspiring Seniors of Fergus High. Through the kind encouragement of our Freshman sponsors, M iss Fderle Swan and Mr. Gardner, we organized with Doris Barnes, president, the first semester, and Genevieve Boles followed in that office the second. As Sophomores we developed under the guiding light of Miss Linnie Pickell and Mr. G ardner. Various members of the class began to find places in school activities, some taking part in basketball, band, orchestra, and with the Fergus Hi Girls. Fma Hy in the fall of 1926, we entered school with greater promise that ever and we began to feel that this year we were going to merit recognition. Our sponsors, M iss 0T ea and Mr. Lamphere, led us through the most successful prom and banquet the school has ever known.

In 1926 the class reorganized again as Sophomores d was led by very able and successful officers. A very prominent member of our class made the Debate Team, and he is a credit to our class. The Sophomore girls' basketball team won the school championship, which made us somebody in the eyes of the school. We are now completing our Sophomore year and can look upon the hazing by the S eniors, during our Freshman year, with amusement and contempt, for next year we will be lordly Juniors.

The members of the team were Andrew Samuels and Richard Manning. As usual the team participated in the Montana State Debate League for the state title. The question which was dis- cussed throughout Montana this year was: “Resolved, That the child labor amendment as recently proposed and rejected by the several states should be adopted. At the time this publication went to press the Fergus team had won three times and suffered no defeats. In the first debate they upheld the negative against Harlowton and won by a unanimous decision. Again they received all three votes when they debated against Denton. The team also went to Winifred where they had the affirmative in a no decision debate. Andrew Samuels, a Sophomore, was on the team for the first time. Richard Manning was on the team in his Freshman and Sophomore years. Hitherto three speakers were used, but this year the num- ber was reduced to two. Th e success of this team is due very largely to Miss Hall whose untiring effort and splendid assistance has kept debating a prominent and successful activity in Fergus. The inter-district debate between Fergus and Moccasin which took place April 7 resulted in an unanimous decision for Fergus. The affirmative was upheld by Moccasin, the negative by Fergus. The sectional debate between Fergus and Con- rad is scheduled for April 29. The winner of this contest will debate in the finals held in Missoula in May.

Catherine Cun tin and Fred Pierre represented Fergus in the State Extemporaneous writing and speaking' contests held in Bozeman on March 11 and 12. Catherine is a writer of no small repute and although she was not successful this year, u sure to win laurels for herself and the school next year. Fred Pierre is an able speaker. He won the district championship m the Extem- poraneous Speak mg' contest and placed m the Sta te nreiimmaries. Creatibe Muling Everyone is not born with the gift of story-writing'. Some of us have part of the requirements and only need development. 1 he rest are hopeless. For those that weren’t hopeless and wanted to study writing, Miss Ross, head of the English Department, began a class m Creative Writing'. This is the first time that such a thing' had ever been attempted m Fergus County High School, and it has made a good showing with its seven members. The work began by studying' short sketches. Following this were picture hints, character hints, mood hints, and incidents. The next group consisted of environ- ment sketches, contrast, description, conversation, and atmosphere, all of which were developed as far as possible. During the year each student has written two short srories. The better of the two was sent to the Junior Fiction Contest conducted this spring by the Youth’s Companion. No cl ass work was sent to the Scholastic Magazine as the essays and stories were sent from all the upper English classes. One of the later pieces of work was the biography of a foreigner. Each student interviewed some foreigner and learned his experiences. Some good material was found m the various biographies that told, of the immigrant’s former home, his experiences m crossing the ocean and his impressions as he passed the Statue of Liberty m New York harbor or as he came through the Golden Gate of San Francisco. e. n t y - s e v e n N i n e t e e n H u n 2 r e d T w Page 60 he Fergus A n n mg THE CARNIVAL fort™ TELLER HAWAIAN TRIO JAPANESE TEA ROOM GAMBOLING DEN Nineteen H u n dr e d T wan iy-seven F he Fergus Annual Page 61 Wt}t Carmtoal ARNIVAL! The very name brings hundreds of thoughts suggesting something different to each one of us. This year's Carnival was the most successful one ever held in Fergus County High School and who is there who will dispute me? In cold cash we cleared $1800. And fun? Who didn t enjoy himself? School-spirit was at its best and that was pretty good. There was a dandy variety of stunts this year and a bigger crowd than ever. The very first place that we visited was the Chamber of Horrors. What happened th ere we won t tell. Battling our way through the crowds, we dropped in to hear the Kitchen Band m room 17. Refreshing ourselves next door at The Spy- glass Inn, we went on up the hall to the Orange Owl Cabaret. Snatching some hot-dogs from room 9, we were swept along upstairs to the Town Pump. Visiting Tia J uana and the H ula Dancer, we got a look-in on the priz e-fight. A movie was going on m room 43, so we took that in. After that we sent some tel egrams at the Western Union, and then had some tea and wafers m the dainty Japanese Tea Room. While we were th ere I got a telegram and am still wonder- ing who sent it. Then we tried to ring the duck ' and were just going down-stairs when the lights went out. That was thrilling! We also saw the Negro Minstrel in the Study Hall and The Lamps Went Out. We hshed a while m the Fish Pond and then went to the Gym and danced. Th ere the turkey and the rest of the prizes were drawn, and we all went home. CARNIVAL DANCE Nineteen Hundred T wenty-seven Page 62 Fke Fergus A nnual Bramattcg IE Dramatic department can easily be said to be one of the most popular departments of tbe school. Tke numerous productions staged by this department each year add much to the activity of the school and aid m school finances, besides providing' a means of expression for the dramatic talent of the students. Two societies which have been organized m this department are the Calliopean Club, whose membership consists of Juniors and Seniors interested in dramatics, and the Merry Maskers, a like organization of the underclassmen. A more capable and interested director of dramatics could not be found than Miss Eveline Eccles, coach of plays and sponsor of these clubs. She has remark- able ability m this line of work, and her unselfish efforts have done much to make this department successful. The culmination of dramatics this year will be the presentation of a one act play, “Good Medicine,'' by Jack Arnold and Edwin Burke, in the Little Theater Content held in NT issou la. May 11. THIS YEAR'S PLAYS The first play produced this year was “The Ne w Poor which was given under the auspices of the Junior Cl ass. It tells the story of several H arvard students, who, being without work or money, hire themselves out to a country family who are without servants at the time. In order to impress their employer as to the “class he is getting they pose as exiled Russians. The daughters of the family fall in love with the imposters and promise to marry them. The Grand Duke is caught stealing from the old man and confesses. The play ends as the family regards with horror those whom they thought were exiled nobility. “Amazon Isle ' was put on during Farm Week under the direction of Miss Eccles. This play concerns an oddly assorted party that follow an astronomer who has a chart of hidden treasure on Amazon Isle. The expedition is captured by female head-hunters. The treasure chest is found and the chief huntress is cap- tured. The astronomer predicts an eclipse which, wrhen it comes to pass, frightens the Amazons to flight. The happy party then divide the treasure and feel that they were amply repaid for their adventures. The Youngest was chosen to be the Senior play. It concerns the Winslows, a wealthy family of good, old stock. Their son, Richard, determines to be an author while the family insist that he shall go into the pin business. In the midst of their arguing, Nancy Blake, of New York, arrives. She wagers that she can make Richard the most prominent member of the family in a week. Aided by a discovery she has made concerning the late uncle's will that Richard will be heir, Nancy wins her wager, and Richard, too.

A. Wrigley There are several organizations under the different departments. They are the band, the high school orchestra, the string orchestra, and the combined glee clubs. All of these musical organizations give valuable service to the school and the community. In a small way they are contributing to the musical life and develop- ment of the music m America. Every department was represented at the State Music Meet in Livingston, Montana, April 1 and 2. Music study in some phase is open to all students. The education of the music- lover is co-important with the education of the professional musician. In this department we may learn to appreciate what others produce. The department offers courses in the History of Music and Music Appre- ciation.

Due to the large squad turning out for football, competition even for positions on the second team was keen. The Reserves were faithful in report- ing for practice and took the punishment of the first team in hard- fought scrimmages without grumbling. Many of the boys show promise of filling positions well on the regular lineup next season and fans are looking forward to another successful year.

Next m line was a victory over Buffalo, followed by a double victory over Hobson. In the first game played for many seasons with Great Falls, Fergus emerged the victor. It was a fast and furious battle. The gym was packed to capac- ity. Soon after Grass Range went down for the count and then we lost to Geraldine and Moccasin. Although we lost our first game to Moore, we placed fifth m the tournament by winning the three following games. We placed two men on the all-district team. The season as a whole was very successful.

A more successful season would be hard to find. Of the games ployed, m only two did the team take the small end of the score. The team has had the loyal support of the student body, and with four let- ter players returning' next year, a good season is assured. The Student Council authorized that members o f the girls' te am receive let- ters this year. Therefore at an assembly on April 13, the six members of the team were awarded these emblems. The letters were arranged on blue sweaters, each member having a gold stripe on the arm, signifying one year on the team. The captain's sweater in addition to the stripe was distinguished hy a gold star. These were presented by Coach Novinger, who spoke enthusiastically of the work of the team. THE TEAM Grace Jackson—-Captain, Guard. Third year. Played her position to perfec- tion. She helped to keep the opponents’ score down. A good floor general. Lois Disbrow — Guard. Two years' experience at Poison High. She knew the game and played accordingly. At guard she couldn’t be played around. Emily Krall—Center. A good floor player. She usually got the tip-off. Nor a Thompson—Side-center. Speedy and accurate. One of the best we have ever seen. Norma Eastman — Forward. Second year. She covered the floor and was an accurate shot. Bernice Housel — Forward. Going at all times. She was everywhere and was hard to guard. She shot them m from all angles. St Nineteen Hundred Twenty-seven Page 84 The Fergus Annual Crack Reason INCE the track season comes so late in the year, it is impossible to include the 1927 season in this publica- tion; so it will appear m the Annual next year and last year s season in this. The 1926 season was not quite as successful as it could have been as Fergus was not permitted to compete in the county meet and sent only two delegates to the state meet at Missoula. However, these two, the Burke brothers, Allen and Billy, did their utmost representing1 the school the very best they could. They both very ably represented Fergus but because of the vast competition they were up against, and the unusual number of records that were broken they were unable to place in the meet, although they came very close in several events. Fergus is out to fight, to fight. Oh, Fergus is out to fight, to fight, And when the game is over, over, Oh, what a time tonight. Smash ’em, and crash em, Thrash 'em, and dash 'em. Go to it with all your might And we’ll keep it up until morning. For Fergus’ Team’s all ri ght! March, march on down the field Fighting for Fergus High — Break through that Great Falls line Their strength to defy. We'll give a long cheer for Fergus High We’re here to win or die.

All composers do not con- ceive music of equal beauty and melody. All writers are not equally skilled in choosing and using themes and words. Nor is ail PRINTING alike. Superior printing is not alone a matter of equip- ment or of material, of time or even of skill. Rather, it is a combination of all these things and a great many more that go to make our printing department that which it is. This department builds sales, creates good-will, wins friends, retains old cus- tomers, adds new ones. It saves your time and therefore your money. It taps hidden reservoirs of business, opens new markets, carries your message to the four corners of the world. Fergus Graduates, read carefully please. Printing may be your introduction to wealth. Your success in life to come may be decided by your printing. Let it be the best to be had. The Democrat Nineteen Hundred Twenty-seven N i n e t e e n H u n d r e d Twenty-seven ha i 2 r «t tk. ijf i
