In track also the Sophomore boys played an important part. In the Belt- Fort Benton track meet 109 points were scored, 86 of these being won by Fort Benton and 60 by Ralph Uhl, Billy Murray, John Harris, Merlin McLeish, Walter Morger and Jess Schoonover, Sophomores. Of the three men sent to Missoula Track Meet, two were Sophomores: Ralph Uhl and Walter Morger. iWe are very proud of Jeff's skill in throwing the javelin and th-ough Ralph did not place we are sure that he had the ability. Then the year of 1921 we came back as lovesick Juniors. Some were so much so, that they failed to keep on going to Chouteau High. Our boys John Harris, Billy Murray, Jess Schoonover, Walter Morger and Merlin McLeish made up the basketball team this year and did excellent work. Although they did not win the prize cups we feel that there is one more year in which to work hard. The orchestra of this year was well represented with Juniors: Basham Overfleld, Merlin McLeish and Harriet Louther. The Juniors have prominent places in the Girl's Glee Club too, most of our girls being members. We are planning to make the Junior Prom the best affair that we have ever at- tempted and if the best we know it will be marvelous. We have enjoyed the years of our high school life so far and as we come back next year to be dignified Seniors we will do our best to carry on the good words of our motto Ever Onward.
