hy FB. H. S. THE PIONEER PAGE 93 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY We were a bewildered group of peons as we started out on our perilous trek through the wild mountains of Mexico (Fort Benton High School) in 1939, so we chose Senorita Hagie to help us map out our course. The guide was Senor Daryl Hagie. In case he fell off a cliff, Senor Moses was to take his place. Senor “Tubby” Dickens came along to read the signs for us and take care of any extra pesos we might have. A neighboring villa from the surrounding country gave a fiesta in our honor which proved to be very painful to us, but we showed up their ill manners and entertained them royally at a barbeque. Having passed through the mountains with very few casualties, we gave another fiesta on our way home to celebrate. In this year of 1940, we peons again organized and selected a map-maker, Senor Ide. This time we chose Senor Harold Krsul as guide and Jerry Sweeney as his assistant. Senorita Patricia Wackerlin took over the position of official sign reader and pesos Keeper. We showed true Mexican hospitality by providing an initiation fiesta for the fifty- seven cowpunchers, who came into Mexico (F. B. H. S.) led by Senor Halley. We progressed with reasonable safety until about the middle of the journey, when upon ascending some rugged cliffs, a few of the peons were lost. Thus we have finished our second expedition and are planning a bigger and better one for 1941 when we will again trek into Mexico (F. B. H. S.). 40 WHEN FATHER PLAYED FOOTBALL The smell of arnica abounds; He hobbles with a cane; The smell of arnica is strong, A row of blisters mar his foot; And mother’s time is spent He is in constant pain. In rubbing father’s arms and back But lame and weak as father is, With burning liniment. He swears he’ll lick us all The house is like a druggist’s shop If we dare even speak about Strong odors fill the hall, The day he played football. And day and night we hear him groan —Selected. Since father played football. a Tee agg ete He’s forty past, but he declared BEGINNING AND END That he was ‘young as ever; Florence Cooper And in his youth, he said, he was Bewildered freshmen crowd the halls A football player clever. The air is filled with deéar friends’ calls So when the business men arranged Seniors proudly carrying books A game, they came to call Give the frosh disdainful looks On Dad and asked him if he thought The first day of school has now begun That he could play football. And all look forward to this year’s fun. Seniors rushing here and there, About them all a lordly air, Now a play, then a speech, With graduation ahead for each. The freshies now are not so green Wore cleats to save a fall: For the last day of school is soon to be He had the make-up on all right, Been: ; When father played football. —— ’40 —— GRADUATE’S LAMENT I’m well educated; Tis easy to see. The world’s at my feet, On Saturday the game was played, And all of us were there; Dad borrowed an old uniform, That George used to wear. He paid three dollars for his shoes, He tried to run, but tripped and fell He tried to take a throw; It put three fingers out of joint, And father let it go. For I have my A. B. ‘He stopped an end run with his face; M. A. will come next: Was kicked, nor was that all; Then, of course, Ph. D. It looked to us like suicide, But rdechuck it: all When father played football. For a good J. O. B. At last he limped away, and now Before I heard the doctors tell He suffers in disgrace; The danger of a kiss His arms are bathed in liniment; I had considered kissing you Court plaster hides his face. The nearest thing to bliss He says his back is breaking, and But now I know biology His legs won’t move at all; I sit and sigh and moan It made a wreck of father when Six million mad bacteria He tried to play football. And I thought we were alone.
