THE SCOTTY,GLASGOW,MONTANA Page 2l FLARES ON THE Scotty, the Office Pup, Reviews Progress Over 12-Year Period Merry F ruitcake and Happy Wishbone, said Scotty to the editor cheerfully. That's right, Christmas is comingg l'll have to hustle in order to get my shopping done. That isn't all you have to do, Boss, retorted the pup, You've neglected me for so long now that l'm the most insignificant flea harbor on this side of the Mississippi. Get to work, tell folks about the good old alma mater l represent. Boost the school and l'm your Dutch uncle with four legs even when you're seeing double. The editor, Uperculatingn his mind to the fullest ex- tent, began numerating the important facts about the school. Twelve Years Under Present Administration Glasgow High School has been accredited by the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools. For the last l2 years, under the present administrator, the school has taken,great strides in its progress. It is organized under the 6-3-3 department plan, which only the larger schools in Montana use. Under this system the first six grades are grouped. The next three grades are the junior High School and the last three grades are the Senior High School. At present the faculty is composed of 22 teachers, not including the superintendent. There are a number of fac- ulty clubs organized for the purpose of studying in detail different subjects- The M. E. A. is the biggest organiza- tion. Cluricula Varied One of the most interesting classrooms is the science laboratory. Chester Griffin is in charge of this depart- ment. The latest equipment can be found in this room, where the mysteries of science are solved. Each year a certain amount of money is given to this department to keep it up to date. The commercial department, under the supervision of Adena Schumacher and Margaret Crest, is one of the best in the state. Students from this department have received state honors. The department is divided into two sections, typing and stenography. This year there is a total of I8 Underwoods and I4 l... C. Smiths in opera- tion. A new adding machine, mimeoscope and card cata- log index filing system were added as new equipment this year. The Industrial Education and Mechanical Drawing classes under Mr. Riikola are also worthy of praise: the boys and girls taking these subjects really enjoy them. It may be the novelty of sitting on high stools beside big tables, but the course of study fascinates them. Miss Edith Foss is in charge of the home economics department. These classrooms furnish a scene of great activity- Several improvements have been made during the last year. A new refrigerator and several new stoves were installed. , Miss K. Elizabeth Anderson, physical education su- pervisor, is one of the few in the state. She has charge of all recreation activities, including care of bus pupils during the lunch hour. The Smith-Hughes department, commonly known as Trade Training, is under the supervision of Howard Pet- ers. The shop has recently been enlarged, and many im- provements have been made. Glasgow High School has one of the best departments in the northwest. Another interesting and outstanding part of the plant is the part-time course and N. Y. A. project. Mack Monaco is in charge of these. Through N. Y- A. work the students receive federal aid, which helps them pay their school expenses. Mrs. Mildred Simonson, the new librarian, is doing much to improve our library. The increase in circulation of books proves that the students are becoming more interested in literary work. Outside Activities Are Numerous Many extra-curricular activities are prominent in the school. The Dramatics club, the Girls Athletic associa- tion, the Pep club and the Glee club are a few of the outstanding ones. The publicity department is a great booster for the school. The band and orchestra give the students an opportunity to develop their talents in music. Basketball and football are the leading sports. Grounds Under Improvement The school playground has furnished much entertain- ment for the smaller children. The equipment, which was donated by the Kiwanis club of Glasgow, makes our playgrounds among the best equipped in the state. The schoolgrounds are being landscaped under a fed- eral project. Grass is to be planted in front of the school, also shrubbery and trees. By spring it is hoped that the entire project will be finished- Shopward The shop boys have gone journalistic again. Their first shop bulletin of this year came out Nov. 29 and was full of things we never knew till now. From it we gather that the mechanics who go forth from Glasgow High frahl rahll will be able to take anything apart and see what makes it tick without calling the riot squad or the fire department to get it back together.

On Sept. l3, the new St. Raphael's church was dedi- cated. The Rt. Rev. E. V. O'l-Iara, bishop of Great Falls diocese, and priests from other parishes took part. The church is a structure in which any city might take a jus- tifyable pride. The Congregational church has had its interior re- decorated, and a very decorative stone fence has been built around the church and parsonage lawn. The Methodist church is raising funds to build an upper --- ---A--A ------A --A--- - ------- -::---:voc-- 2 STANDARD SERVICE ll Red crown, Stanolind and some lwith Euryn ,, H Gasolines if Stanolind, Polarine, Iso-Xia and Quaker State nu Motor 'ls ll ll ll il - Complete Lubrication Service - ll tl b..4:::94::::3::1 3 5: 1::::::::::::::: :::::::r:i 'A-- ---A ----- ---------:pc---f-'Y :::::r1:::1 lb ll Right Price Grocery QQ FULL LINE OF GROCERIILS MEADOW GOLD PRODUCTS - SOFT DRINKS OPEN EVENINGS AND SUNDAYS ---t-, --------------- --- - -- l i i ll .-- n Mrs. Laura Gosney, Prop.

The floor plans for the building were drawn by the Rev. Henry C. Mecklenberg of Moore. The plans are similar to those used for St. Paul's church at Helena, one of the most modern churches in the state. FORT PECK DAM SLIDE At l :l5 Sept. 22, an earth movement occurred which carried away a portion of the great barrier for about 2,000 feet west into the fill along the upstream face. The downstream slope of the dam remained intract. From the downstream side there was no evidence that any earth movement had taken place. Upon checking the workmen, 8 were missing and one dead. Two bodies were recovered later and about ll suffered minor injuries. More than l00 men were working in the area at the time of the slide. Eight men who compose the board of engineers which is inquiring into the cause of the slide were at the project late in November studying records of test borings and other investigations made in the damaged area. lncluded in the group were some of the nation's most prominent engineers. CIVIC SWIMMING POOL INSTALLED Several city improvements have been and are being made in Glasgow. The new swimming pool was opened for use July 30. Attendance the first week totalled 2,095. A week later the wading pool for small children was completed. The swimming pool is l50 feet long, 60 feet wide and holds l80,000 gallons of water. The wading pool is 29 feet long and I8 feet wide, is 6 inches deep at one end and I2 inches deep at the other. Water sport contests were a part of the summer program- The pool closed on September 2l. Mack Monaco, local teacher, was in charge, NEW POSTOI-'FICE Another new structure going up in which we all should take great pride is our new postoffice. It is still under con- struction, but moving along rapidly. It was started last April I8 and is expected to be completed about April l, I939, at a cost of SI 79,025. The public library was redecorated and had new floors put in this year. There are about 4,855 books in the li- brary, 4,050 for adults and 808 for juveniles. New ones have just been added recently as gifts of the Glasgow Woman's Club and the Sunflower Art Club. ELECTIONS ln Valley County there are 7, l 77 registered voters. A survey of ballots showed that about 73 percent of these voted on November 8. This was a smaller percentage than that in the primary election- A gain in voting strength was shown in the Republican party, although Democratic candidates were elected for the major county offices. The city taxpayers cast ballots again on November I5 on both the flood control and city park bond issues. These were both approved and the city will issue bonds in the sum of 57,000 to improve a city park and Sl8,000 to construct a dam and outlet canal for flood control north and west of the city, these amounts being that which the city as sponsor is to pay. The rest is taken care of through the Works Progress Administration. Work will start in the spring.

Page 22 THE SCOTTY,GI..ASGOW.MONTANA Band and Orchestra in Novel Concert Series A departure from many years' custom this season is a series of three joint band-orchestra concerts, the first of which was given Friday evening, Dec. 2. The custom for many years has been one concert each year by each musical organization. That the new arrangement is popu- lar with both students and public was indicated by the enthusiastic reception Qven Mr. Schiesser and his student musicians in their first joint concert. The orchestra ren- dered the first half of the program and the band the last. A splendid tribute to the band and orchestra appeared editorially in The Glasgow Courier just prior to the first of this season's concerts. It was entitled Pay Dividends for Glasgow. We are happy to reproduce it here: Two organizations which for many years have far more than paid their way in publicity and prestige for Glasgow are the Glasgow high school band and orches- tra. Wherever either group has appeared, and the band especially has played in many cities of the state, it has brought a reaction which is extremely gratifying to home folks and has literally put Glasgow on the map as one of the school musical centers of Montana. On almost every local public occasion of importance the band or orchestra plays a major part in the program. These young musicians and their director, Henry Schiesser, have worked long and faithfully with two objectives in mind -to promote the interests of the community and to make the organizations two which become more credita- ble each year. This has been done with a minimum of financial support from the community and with a mini- mum of equipment. Whatever the community has done, it has been more than repaid. Director Schiesser this week announced a series of concerts, the first of which is to be given Dec. 2. There is no question that they will be full of entertainment value for anyone, regardless of musical tastes. And, in being entertained, each listener will know that he is 'helping to perpetuate the fine work r::::::::::::::::::::::::::f:::::::::::::::1 IF You WANT 'ro FILL UP jg ff try the . . .

Long, hard practice and expert training are main ingredients in making the band and orchestra a success but adequate equipment, new instruments are continually needed, too. There is no doubt in our mind that people of the community appreciate this fully and will act accordingly. FLASH! Scotty Goes to Town Glasgow has gone Highlander in a big way. Our town is named after the famous Scottish town and all the school organizations work in the name Highlander somehow. We have a Kiltie band with a Scotty mascot. The school magazine is called the Scotty -- or had you heard? The business places are starting to capitalize on the Scotch idea, too, Buttrey's have a rack of sport and school clothes under a canopy called the Scottie Shop. Cute, eh? P New Score Board installed Mr. Straugh and the basketball boys are grateful for the support and cooperation of the business men who made it possible to obtain the beauteous new scoreboard. California, Here He Comes The comedy team of Lebert, Vallandigham, Moe and Davis, Laughs for Children from Six to Sixty, Seven to Seventy, or Eight to Eighty, has lost its most spark- ling member, Byron Lebert, Jr. His departure for the sunny south, the land of Rose Bowl games and glamour guys and gals, leaves the school a much duller place around which to shuffle. We are looking forward, though, to when he comes again, all tall and golden brown.

The play introduces the following characters: Francis Hammerness, the bachelor, who is a lecturer: Kenneth Kjelstrup, Mr. Algernon: Frances Ann Shambaugh, Henrietta Algernon. Henrietta acts the scenes as the lecturer talks. The scenes are as follows: First-Why he is and al- ways will be a bachelor. Second-Why he is and always will be a bachelor. Third-Why he is and always will be a bachelor. Fourth-Why he is and always will be a bachelor. This play gives much enlightenment to married men and single women, who are seeking some new informa- tion to sponsor.
