In what better way could we prove it than in our choice of Leo Kilroy as president for the second successive year? Guess it’s just the got in high school. To go into a “brand new buildin’” still smelling of fresh paint and varnish—gee, what class couldn’t have pep! “School’s a place for learning and fun” is our axiom. Some of our classmates have done really outstanding things in the Bozeman scholarship contests, and “our” basketball players have shown themselves to be good material for the successors of the graduating players. We’ve also been active members in other school activities. We think we'll make outstanding seniors next year, how about you? JUNIOR PLAY With Spring in the air, who could blame the Juniors for becoming slightly “Jume Mad”? After almost a month of trials and tribulations, they showed their efforts to the public on April 17. Leo Kilroy, as Roger Van Vleck, the suave lady-killer, tried his charms on fifteen year old Penny Woods, played by Marjorie Manley, and she liked it: while her parents, £lgire Sykes and Mabel Lucas, patiently watched the whole episode. uit Chuck Harris, (Harry Pavelis), an old time friend, who liked gliders finally won Penny after a disastrous glider trip taken against the will of his father, Arthur Kleinschmidt. But Roger had already turned his attention to Mervyn Wood’s girl friend, Julie Harris (Alice Elliot), much to the discomfort of Mervyn himself (Robert Craig) and delight of Milly Lou (Anna Mae Kalbus), the noted household pest who liked Mervyn. Elmer Tuiile, the handy man, was played by Henry Grossman and his girl friend, Effie, the maid, by Florence Cooper. +: who suffered through it all, and never seemed to be able to make her slip stop showing. Two neighbor children who were nearly always over for dinner were Shirley and Ralph Wentworth, played by Joyce Gall and James Morger. The play was written by Florence Ryerson and Colin Clemens and directed by Ila Grace Hasgie. JUNIOR PROM n After “June Mad” the juniors were faced with the task of the prom. Preparation: were begun and after much bickering the theme, “The Garden of the Moon,” was chosen, decorating began, an orchestra hired, and the refreshments planned. Then the big night came: everything went like clockwork; no one tripped in the grand march; the prom queen, Margaret Birkeland, was crowned; and her attendants, Patty Anderson, senior; Margaret James, junior; Leona Reichelt, sophomore; and Ann Katzenberger, freshman, were announced. Everyone went home tired, and looking forward, not too happily, to the Havre Band Festival the next day. x THE PIONEER CWA CAOF © Vance Allen, Noel Anderson, Ronald Archer, Wilma Blackwood, Charles Brodock, Maynard Conway, Donald Craig, David Dedman, Rosina Diemert, Mary Eloff, Frances Embleton, Victor Fatz, Eugene Frieling, Basil Fultz, Henriette Gray, Dalores Hannum, Marjorie Huffman, Clarence Humes, Donald Jackson, Maribelle Jahnke, Wyman Jones, Fred Katzenberger, Donald Knudson, Gertrude Postill, Ernest Ramsay, Leona Reichelt, Donald Reynolds, Rhoda Ann Ritter, James Ronning, George Rowe, Orval Seright, Walter Stanton, Amie Tope, Stanley Vinion, Jerome Wiley, Robert Willson. THESPIONEER 27 Oe a aa SOPHOMORE CLASS “Ya” know to be a sophomore class “ya gotta be sorta” patient. As a class, nobody notices you. All the glint, luster, and glitter of the first freshman days has tarnished long ago. We took our initiation on the chin and “came up” smiling, but that seems to be “sorta” forgotten. Our president, Kiki Gray, and our sponsor, Miss Cooney, really did a marvelous job during our freshman year; and we “aren’t so bad” in our choice this year— Bill Preuninger and Miss Johnson. But don’t “get us wrong”! We're “rearin’ and ready” to take over the position held by this year’s Juniors. CWIAICAOF © SENIOR PLAY “Going Places” was the appropriate title of a farce in three acts given on November 25, 1941. The plot centers around getting Chuck Malloy (Daryl Hagie) a whiz at football, but a dud at Ancient History, into Dartford College. But they have to contend with Dr. Stubbs (Clark Hilton) and Dr. Kimball, president of the college (Junior Tope). Ella Kimball (Pat Wackerlin) is the wife of the president. Jeff Sterling, student football manager (Bill Louther), enlists the help of Shirley, Dr. Kimball’s daughter (Mary Gray), Rosemary Lee (Patty Anderson), an attractive co-ed, and Gladys Miller, a music student and part-time maid of the Kimballs (Alice Galbraith). The plot thickens as Cuthbert Lee (John Sullivan), highbrow cousin of Rosemary, takes Chuck’s exam, Dr. Kimball is kept guess- ing as to who is Kate Malloy, Chuck’s rich aunt, because Mrs. Stubbs (Mabel Stevens), wife of Dr. Stubbs, and Florence Ward (Margaret Birkeland), a magazine feature writer, each in turn portray Aunt Kate. When Aunt Kate (Betty Schmidt) finally appears, every- thing is worked out. Chuck and Cuthbert are admitted to the college, and Aunt Kate endows a new college library. CYILDCDOFO STUNT DAY It’s all over for another year! The Seniors sponsored their annual Stunt Day on April 10. It was rather windy, but we marched all over town, led by the German Band, while people on the side lines took snapshots and moving pictures. Of the various stunts, the Freshmen won first prize for their interpretation of the Faculty in their younger years. The sophomores gave “Father Gets Took” and took second prize. With a modern version of Little Red Riding Hood, the Seniors placed third. Leona Reichelt, as Little Red Riding Hood won a prize for the best girl’s costume. Kenneth Vinion, as the Nazi prisoner, had the most original boy’s costume and Lee Katzenberger had the funniest boy’s costume. Lurene Anderson and Lorraine Baker won the prize for the best couple, the Rinso twins. 30 THE PIONEER CWIAICAOFO Fay Allard, Robert Anderson, Barbara Birkeland, Cecilia Bogner, Florence Breault, Jewel Callison, Marian Campbell, Robert Collins, Morris Cameron, Dorothy Dedman, Theresa Drewiske, Eva Elliott, Gertrude Elliot, Barbara Ellis, Clara Fox, Leonard Johnson, Ann Katzenberger, Darwin Lenington, George Lippert, Norma Jean Montgomery, Dorothy Nelson, Virginia Ratliff, Eva Nita Rupp, Gerald Rust, Lucille Small, James Smith, Stanley Smith, Betty Terry, James White, June Walker. THE PLONEER 31 SS eee FRESHMAN CLASS We came into our right as a class of FBHS “clumpin’ along” in our overshoes, bow- ing in our gunny sacks, and looking, in general, a bit clumsy. But, they say, you shouldn’t judge a “fella” by his appearance; and we think we’ve proved it. We've given the old grindstone a real push and showed “evabody” that we've got pep, beauty, and brains. A good president and a good sponsor are the prerequisites of a really successful class, and our choice of Lucille Hanford for president and Miss Holmes for sponsor was, in our opinion, a very good one. Yes, we know we'll have to go through “the chrysalis stage” in our development next year, but we’re made of the “stuff that really counts,” so watch our “dust” in the three years to come. HIGH SCHOOL WEEK Fort Benton, again-this year walked off with a great many honors at the annual Bozeman High School Week. Those who took places were as follows: Leona Reichelt. 3rd in French I; Lorraine Baker, ist in Pentathlon, 1st in Literature, Ist in Algebra IT, 2nd in Trigonometry, and 2nd in Chemistry; Florence Cooper, ist in Shorthand I, and 1st in English III; Eldon Adams, 3rd in BookKeeping: Robert Craig, lst in Civics, 2nd in Algebra IT, and 2nd in Pentathlon; Stanley Whitehorn, 2nd in Science Major; Keith Neyland, ist in Trigonometry, 2nd in Mathematics Major; Mabel Stevens, Ist in Home Economics Major; Lee Katzenberger, 3rd in Algebra; Lucille Hanford, 1st in General Science, lst in English I.

CVPSLIANCAVHF © BAND This year, as in former years, the band was one of the most outstanding organiza- tions in FBHS. The band was composed of 42 members and this year, as last, officers were chosen. Daryl Hagie was elected president; Dick Moses, vice president; Patricia Anderson and Mary Gray, secretaries. The director, Mr. Chapin, introduced the idea of marching and forming letters between halves of basketball games and this made the band a great attraction at each game. Then Mr. Chapin resigned at the end of the first semester and Mr. Alvin Halvorson from Moorhead, Minnesota, was secured for the position. There were two concerts during the year, one in the fall, and one in the spring. These were well received by music lovers of Fort Benton. The band went to the annual music festival at Havre on May 9, thus winding up a busy musical year at FBHS. 34 THE PIONEER SYD COPD Back Row—Harold Krsul, Clair Sykes, Vernell Fisher, William Preuninger, Chester Halley, Theodore Kelley.

CWA CAOF © BASKETBALL This has been the most successful basketball season in years. The Longhorns were champions at the sub-district, took second at the district, and fourth in the regional. The team played the hardest schedule in years, losing only seven games and winning twenty- four. Perhaps the most notable thing about the team was that every man was a vital part of the machine that rolled to victory in so many games. The team outscored their opponents 935 to 621, and averaged only six fouls per game.

WILLIAM LOUTHER, senior, high scorer for the team. He was a good man on the rebounds and also a good pivot shot man. KEITH NEYLAND, senior, high scoring forward. Keith was dangerous at any time but when he got “hot”, he could sink baskets from anywhere. ARTHUR BENNETT, senior, was our best defensive player. His ability to jump gave him virtual control of the backboard. LEO KILROY, junior, Leo, the Small, turned in some amazing performances and should be a high scorer next year. CLAIR SYKES, junior, played a good game at guard and was a very dependable player. VERN FISHER, junior, improved rapidly and became regular guard for the tournament. He shows much promise for next year. WILLIAM PREUNINGER, sophomore, one of the most improved players on the team. He should be a tough man under the basket with his ability to control rebounds. CHESTER HALLEY, junior, “Chet” will be back next year and after three years of ex- perience should be a top notch forward next year and a player hard to stop. HAROLD KRSUL, senior, Harold only got in a few of the games, but was always to be counted on for at least one tally. THEODORE KELLEY, sophomore, “Ted” was sub-center and whenever he got in, he was sure to make his quota of points. - t S ; Se a OM GaP 36 THE PLONEER CWINCAOT O FOOTBA LL The Fort Benton Longhorns started out their football season with a sudden hard fought victory over the Choteau Bulldogs by a score of 7 to 6. The game was played on a muddy gridiron which limited the two teams’ running offense. Choteau made the first touchdown and it was not until the third quarter that a long pass was thrown and the Longhorns scored. Another pass was thrown in the end zone for the extra point which put the Longhorns in the lead. The Longhorns edged out the Chinook football squad by a score of 12 to 7. This game was also played on a muddy field. The Chinook squad was the first to score but the Longhorns finally drove to victory. he The Longhorns clashed with the Havre Colts but the Longhorns’ driving power was too much for the Colts. The Longhorns won by a large margin, the score being 39 to 0. The Longhorns traveled to Conrad to play the Conrad Cowboys and suffered their first defeat by a score of 27 to 7. The Conrad squad showed some very fine football, especially in their running offense. The Malta squad and the Conrad eleven met to determine the championship, and the Malta squad gained the title. The Longhorns traveled to Malta to determine the championship of the district and lost by a score of 26 to 6. FOOTBALL REPORT 1.

KEITH NEYLAND—Sr.—End—A good man on the offense and one whose determina- tion to win meant a lot to the team. 8. CALVIN FULTZ—Jr—Guard—Cal’s ability to get in there and mess things up, gave him his regular position. 9. CECIL SERIGHT—Sr.—Tackle—Cecil showed every time that he was in there pitching and we'll miss him next year. 10. DONALD RUST—Sr.—Half Back—Don’s hard hitting and hard driving made him a regular.. Don is a loss to next year’s team. 11. GEORGE PAUL—Jr.—Back—George was a valuable reserve man and is made of the stuff that football players are made of. 12. FRANK MANLEY—Sr.—Guard—Frank had plenty of the push it takes to play a good football game and will be a loss to the team. 13. JUNIOR TOPE—Sr.—End—Here we have determination and that is what goes into the making of a good football player. 14. ORVILLE SERIGHT—Soph.—Guard—Orville was a good reserve man and fought hard in his position. 15.

He will be good material for next year’s team. CWI8IDPOTD 1941 TRACK The track season this year (1941) was one of varied success. It showed up several promising prospects for future years. The first meet was held in Great Falls on April 25. Then on May 9 we attended the meet at Havre. We were handicapped here because some of the boys had gone to Bozeman for High School Week. On May 14 we went to the big meet of the year—the State Meet at Missoula. Most consistent point winner on the squad was Arthur Bennett, in the high jump and broad jump. In the distance run, Calvin Fultz was an important point winner. William Preuninger, a sophomore, took honors in the shot put, discus, and javelin; and with two years to go he ought to be one of the best in the state.

Oh yes, there were a lot of patriotic costumes, and others showing national conservation and good neighbor policy. But all the Daisy Mae’s weren't satisfied with one event. They made candy, sold it at basketball games, had a Christmas party, sponsored a style show, entertained the faculty, and their mothers at:a tea, and served a tea for the seniors. But as yet they hadn’t even seen Li’l Abner, so they made bed-side bags for the Red Cross, in order that they might at least help those away from home. They finally plotted and caught some Li’? Abners at a picnic for the F. F. A. boys. Leading the band in the chase were Miss Holmes, sponsor, and Mabel Stevens, president.

CWADAOT © SPEECH CLASS PLAYS The Speech Class this year presented a program of four one-act plays instead of their usual three. As a bit of variety, one of the plays, SEEING DOUBLE, featured two characters in each part. COMMAND PERFORMANCE had its setting in Oriental sur- roundings and was a combination comedy and tragedy. CABBAGES took place in a German home, in which Mrs. Grossmeir was determnied to find out her family tree, and it was decidedly different from what she had hoped! CRITICAL CASE was built around the story of a girl who was sure that she had pneumonia whenever she had a cold and a tumor on the brain if she had a headache. The Speech Class took in more this year for these plays than ever taken in for a similar program before. a4 THE PIONEER CYHIOICANO OD LI'L ABNER’S DIARY September October 2 W-a-all.
