WAHL Principal l l Message Greetings to the Vigilante Staff: Only those of you who have Worked long and earnestly on its staff have any idea of the labor involved in bringing this book to a completed Vigilante. For the Class of Nineteen Hundred Forty Four, more than for any other, it has a special meaning. Herein are recorded in pictures and words the sig- nificant events of this, your final school year. For you it will serve well as a treasure to be used in future years to refresh your memory of faces and names of your school days. You have been privileged to compile, edit and print this year book even though We are at War. To carry on this tradition makes school life seem more normal for you than if we were to forego its publication While War continues. It is my sincere hope that the ideals and purposes formed while in Helena High School will make you Work for a peace that shall make War an obsolete method for settling national differences in the future. Ere it becomes time to issue another Vigilante, God grant that peace will be a fact or very close at hand. I Wish to congratulate you on this excellent volume. Sincerely, W. W. WAHL, Principal. We are all 'vary mzlmppy limi llzis is Mr. Wahfs las! VYUUI' as principal. Une of our mos! plcasanl experiences has 110011 his !4lii6lll1SlLflI for us. Wherever you are Wir. Wahl, good luck. RAY BJORK Superintendent Message Editor of the Vigilante 1944: Someone has said: Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to driveg easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. H. G. Wells puts it this way: Education is a race between civilization and catastrophe. It is clear, then, that the schools can play their roles in the War and reconstruction only through close collaboration with the youth and the communities they serve. The youth of the United States have a most important stake in winning the war and the peace. To these ends We have directed our thinking and efforts in the Helena Schools this past year. This study and work has been a very stimulating challenge! RAY BJ ORK, Superintendent. 6 3 MW Q HENRY FISKE Boys' Physical Education SUSA N EA K ER English Drama Speec ASON et'1ry I M. I. 1 .

Through storm and strife, peace and tranquillity, it has woven its influence into the graduates as firmly and trustworthily as the Rock of Gibraltar. Our present huilding was constructed in 19235 and reconstructed in 19537. Thousands of students haxe passed through its doors since, this year opening for 800. Today all who have graduated from our school have a real affection for it. It has been a stepping stone and a home of higher education. Now, the seniors, in leaving, mark a great turning point in their lives, and whatever success we achieve in future years will be largely due to our high school training. ... ..,.,,,..,.,.-..,-,, v -,. W W if 1, - Myff WW Class Histor The class of 1944 entered High School with about 240 members in 1940. Since then we have lost some members and gained others. Our class presidents have been Vivian Heiser, Freshmang Robert Hawkins, Sophomoreg and Connie Eckhardt, Junior and Senior. In our four years in High School we have sponsored a number of dances all of which we are proud to say have been successful. The theme of our Junior Prom which was given May 1, 1943, was the deck of an oceanic liner. The annual Senior Barn dance was held at the Old High Gym, November 24, 1943. We won the Vigilante cup in our Freshman year. This cup is given to the class with the most entries in the Vigilante Parade. We were the first Freshman class to achieve this honor. Many members of our class will not be present at graduation because they are now serving in the armed forces and many will follow shortly after. While I write this brief history many of our class mates are making our future history. AUDREY WENDEL.

The day that We seniors have been working for, for the past four years is here at last. Yet that it has arrived, we feel a little sorry as well as happy. Now that we have completed four of the hap- piest years in our lives, we go into the World to face more difficult tasks than we have ever seen in our high school days. Many of us will go into the armed forces, some will go to collegeg others will find work of some kind, and several will make homes of their own. But, no matter where we go, I am very confident, after working with them for the last four years, and having had the honor of leading them for the last two, that they will be able to hold their own anywhere. The Class of '44 has had a fine chance in life and will work hard to make good that chance. I believe from its record of the past four years that it has proved itself worthy. With its competent members, and the fine opportunity that will pre- sent itself after this world comes to its senses, the class of '44 will again prove itself in the diffi- cult times ahead as it has in the past. We thank the faculty of Helena High, the su- perintendent, the principal, the School Board, the people of Helena, and the student body for all of their co-operation in helping us along through school. It is with regret that we bid our high school days adieu, and with eagerness that we challenge the future. CONN IE ECKHARDT, President, Class of '44.

It is hard for us to leave school, because it's been our whole life for four years-the most important years of our life. It's hard to leave because the future is so uncertain. But in facing the difficulties ahead of us, we shall all be grateful for the experiences, the help, and the friendships of our high school days. JOY BOWDEN. Bean, Clara Bausch, Grace Benjamin, Aleva Berg, Sig Bowden, Joy Bridges, Betty Bruce, Anita Buley, Joe Fall, Lucy Belle Hanmierstrom, Elaine Hanley, Peg Salutatory We, the class of '44, have just met a deadline. There are many in our lives, each deadline rep- resenting a step on the ladder to the stars. Our new deadline which confronts all young Americans is a postwar world with freedom, equality and jus- tice for all persons. We will meet this deadline with all the faith and determination we have displayed in the past. This new deadline can, must and will be met. LORNA RICHARDSON.

ELEVENTH ITEM: We, the Class of 44, wish to leave with the faculty of Helena High School our sincere thanks for the help and cooperation they have given us all through our high school years. We want them to know how much we appreci- ate it. IN WITNESS WHEREOF we have hereunto subscribed our names and fixed our seals the twenty-fifth day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred forty-four. AUDREY WENDEL, JOY BOWDEN. Class Prophecy Richland Hotel Cleveland, Ohio May 25, 1969 As I was strolling through the lobby of the hotel, which is managed by Kermit Kruse, I heard Kermit and Ched Kabalin, district manager of Western Union, talking about the class of 44 . I stopped to hear what they were saying. A reunion banquet? When? Tonight, in Helena. Didn't you see it in the paper? Here, I'll show it to you. Looking over his shoulder, I read, On May 25, 1969 a reunion banquet of the Class of 44 of Helena High School will be held at 7 p. m. in the Vigilante Hotel in Helena, Montana. All members of the class are to be present if possible. I immedi- ately decided that I, Jonathan P. Snoop, inquiring reporter for the Class of 44 , should attend. So I called a Black and Blue cab to take me to the airport. This cab company, owned by Harry Joslin and Robert Ring, is so called because of the condition of the passengers after their ride. I reached the airport just in time, and as we took off, I noticed that all the other passengers were members of my class on their way to the reunion. Eimalee Lane and Dona Cloo-ten are nurses in charge of osteopathic and surgical wards, respectively, at Mayo's clinic. Florence Turner and Shirley Reynolds are popular radio script writers. Warren Totten is a Representative in the House for the state of Kentuckyg and Dick Hohn is president of the Chewy Chew gum factory. We landed in Helena around dinner time and went straight to the banquet. The hotel Vigilante where the banquet was held is the largest in Helena and is owned by Richard Volk. As we entered the banquet hall we were greeted by a wel- coming committee made up of Joe Mazuranich, who is well known for his book The History of the Trojan War , Lois Strom, dietitian at U.S.S. Carrollg Jack McLaughlin, Jack Moore, and Kenneth Orton, all of whom are United States Senators representing Montana, Wyoming, and Kansas respectively. As I walked around the banquet hall, I met Mary Ellen Horne and Irene Hewitt. Mary Ellen holds the world's record in typing. She told me that Dorothy Hall was the personal secretary to the president of the Du Pont Company. Irene told us she is a blues singer in the Blue Tavern, New York City. We admired the beautiful decora- tions which were made by Marilyn Smith. who is noted for her distinctive ideas in interior decorating. Grace Taylor, now a professor of psychology at Mills College, came up and we looked at the cleverly designed placecards which were made by Claire Julian. Claire designs cards for the Scattergood Will Card Company, whose slogan is Scatter Good Will tPoor little Williej. We had been requested to register and state our present occupation. Since I had not done so, I now made my way to the desk. I met Hans Trankle. Remembering his interest in chemistry I was not surprised to lea1'n that he was head chemist of the research laboratory at the General Electric Company. We noted with interest the following names on the register: Frances Cable-Librarian at Great Falls Public Library Helen Bond-Model for Vogue-New York City Bob Austin-Chief Justice of the Supreme Court-Helena, Montana Clarence Mergenthaler-Manager of American Smelting and Refining Company Barbara Vinacke-Radio announcer KNX Los Angeles-Los Angeles. Calif. Luella Smigaj-Candy tester for the Societie Candy Company-Salt Lake Mickey Sanders-4Head of the agency to obtain dates for Hi school girls Norma Nyland-Secretary to president of the Mike Horse Mine Jim Brinker-Mining engineer in Nome, Alaska Mary Reagan-Air line hostess for American Airways-South Bend, Indiana Bob Tennyson-U. S. Marshall-San Francisco, California Midge Norris-District salesman for the C Yourself as Other's C U Mirror Com- pany-Denver Melodie Cusson-Actress-New York City, New York Martha Celar-Riveter at Lockheed Elsie Beniger-Originator of next year's haircut, the Leap Year Bob Clifford Kracher-Forest Ranger at Yellowstone National Park. Then the toastmaster, Curtis Brown, asked us to find our places. While I was look- ing for mine I saw E.unice Grieb, advertising manager for LEGS, a sportsman's magazine. Finally I found my place. On my left was Joe Winfield and on my right Katherine Foote. Joe is the coach of that famous Midget Team of Clancy, Montana. I wonder if it is Joe's good coaching or just a good team. Katherine Foote, or Lieu- tenant Foote of the Women's Army Corps, told me that she was in charge of the truck drivers at Fort Douglas, Utah. Sitting across from me was Geraldine McCarthy, who said she was now a buyer for the American Fur Company. The talking subsided when our speaker, Vivian Heiser, rose to open the reunion. Viv is the head nurse on the U.S.S. Mercy, just returned from the Solomons. She wel- comed everyone and said she was proud of the success of the class of 44 . She then introduced Curtis Brown who is in charge of the United States Zoo for unintelligent monkeys and intellectual apes. Curtis proposed a toast to the class of 1944. After the toast Viv made a short talk. She thanked the decorations committee for doing such beautiful work and the program committee for arranging the lovely pro- gram which would follow. Laughingly, she thanked Alice Brown for preparing such a suitable menu for us since Alice is the dietitian for convalescent dogs and might have gotten her menus mixed. After this she introduced Joe Buley as the acting secretary for this reunion. Joe is a mining engineer in Chile. Viv then requested that we answer the roll call by giving our occupations and those of absent members whom we know. Joe began the roll call with the name of Bruce Anderson. Bruce is a junk dealer and he informed us that Raymond Cumming and Robert Downs are dog catchers, spe- cializing in French Poodles and Dachshunds, in Kalamazoo. Bruce added that Mary Lou Frey won a fifty thousand dollar R0ver's Fleas Soap contest and is now living in leisure in the South. ' Alyce Bevan's name was the next to be read. She said that Joyce Meale, Kay Guthrie, Robert Turner, and herself were owners of the Wee Toddlers Toy Company. The others regretted that they could not attend. She stated that Peg Hanley, Shirley Hibarger, Delores Johnson, Beverly Thompson, and Beverly Lyman are modeling for Mademoiselle Valorie Wordal's La Vieille Chatte Magasin, New York City. Joe then called on Charles Bradham who is the president of the So That's Whe1'e My Mule Went glue factory. He said Joan Rummel was now the wife of an R.A.F. pilot and they are residing in London. She met him while ferrying bombers during World War II. Irene Bompart was next. She said that she was superintendent of the High Hooters School of Dancing and also that Clara Bean, Audrey Boone, and Betty Brewer are chief petty officers in the W.A.C.S. and are stationed at the San Diego Naval Base. Viv then asked Joe to read the cablegrams received from those members not present. I-Ianyang, China. We regret that we are unable to be present at this reunion. Our work as teachers in the American mission here retains us. Sincerely, Dorothy Loranz, Grace Bausch, Dorothy Knudsonf' V New York City, New York. Sorry we cannot be present. Our duties as censors of the overseas mail of the W.A.C.S. keeps us here in New York. Long live the class of 44 .--Rose Ann Talseth, Nellie Martello, and Lola Kitts. Budapest, Hungary. Sorry I am not present but am collecting information for my hook Folk Life in Hungary. Good luck to everyone. Helen Mayer. Lampang, Thailand. My work as principal of this missionary school keeps me from attending the reunion. Ted Schuelef' Then Joe continued the roll call with Dick Baker's name. He stated that he was running the Seam Shoppe in which he paints the seams on artificial stockings. He said Jerry Pippy had been recently elected pin up boy by the K W W-Kaiser's Women Workers-and also that Frank Smith, Fred Strandberg, and Dale Sutton are the proprietors of the S.S.S. Restaurant. Their motto is Service, Savings, and Spaghetf' Next, Marilyn Biffle said she was now manufacturing the Straight From the Shoulder Chemistry Aprons which have made her famous. Mouriel Bottomly had written her that she was now conducting a boarding school for girls in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Joe 'then called upon Sig Berg. Ole Carlson, Don Thompson, and Sig, after twenty- five years in the Army Air Corps, were still Shavetails. He added that Dan Schofield and Bob Radley are well known F.B.I. agents. Joy Bowden answered that she was owner, financier, secretary, manager, book- keeper, and chief dishwasher of the Help Yourself restaurant and wonders why she doesn't make any money. Elaine Hammerstrom is a movie actress playing under the name of Brunhilde Boondocker. Mrs. Lindstrom, formerly Betty Bridges, said she was driving the truck for the How Sweet You Are Flower Shop. The roll call was interrupted long enough for the program. Bud Burke's Band played several numbers. Bud and Connie Eckhardt are the only original members left in the band. The twin sons of Mrs. Alibabba, the former Lucie Bell Fall, did sev- eral tap dances. While the band was playing, I glanced at the advertisements on the menu and recognized some of the advertisers as Ed, Bill, Mike and Donald, as former classmates. They have the McHugh and Hartzog Rigor Mortis Funeral Home and the Stump and Peterson Lumber Company. Another ad read Get your black market meat at Young's Slaughterhouse, owner R. D. Young. Even the Halfway House owned by Iris Rose, Mary Lee Nick, Betty Brockway, Irene Petek, and Mae Watts was advertised. This inn is halfway between Helena and Juneau on the Alaskan Highway. Next the Beauty Shop Quartet which is made up of Beatrice Heisey, Eleanor Skufca, Mary Ellen Wetzstein, and Dorothy Wickersheim, sang a song written and composed by Betty Foe1'schler. The quartet may be heard every evening at 7:47 P. M. over station IOU. Joe continued the roll call with Katherine Blacker who said that after working twenty-five years at the Western Union she finally got the courage to step into the manager's office to ask for a raise but stepped right out again. She added that Joan Allen is the dancer with Cab Calloway. She also said that Betty Sanford, former tennis champ, was in England watching her niece play a championship tennis match. Roy Milligan replied that he was an instructor at the Chicken 'Scratch School for improved methods of shorthand. He said that Ed Hames and Phil Williams invented the Eddie's and Wil1ie's Automatic Show Me the Way to Go Home Shoes after a big New Year's celebration and added that George Herman is a W.P.A. Administrator. Sylvia Miller is an economics and sociology teacher in room 218 H.H.S. She said that Jean Wegner and Dona Reighard were trapeze artists at Coney Island and that Gladys Brown had invented the Pushemup Plant Food. Lorna Richardson answered by saying she was writing a book entitled How Not to Collect Ads for Hi School Papers. She said Marie Nieml is the Social editor of the Seattle P.I. and that Mrs. Bud Burke, formerly Jean Tinker, regretted that she couldn't attend because Mortimer, her ninth child, has mumps. Dan McDonald said that he was foreman and Dave Burgess his assistant at the Leonard mine in Butte. He also told us that 'Buck Private George DeWolf was still peeling potatoes in the Army and that Dick Tobin is playing the part of Banker Pendleton in the 'lMa Perkins series on the radio. Nina Murfitt and Lulu Fulton are running the Lonely Hearts Matrimonial Agency. It is rumored that Don Richards, who owns a large Dude Ranch in Montana, met Mrs. Richards through this agency. Charles Rusek said he was an authority on the cultivating of cookie dusters and that Ivan Fowler and Rod Gregor put out the Skin You Love to Touch wieners. Anita Bruce told us the story of her famous Dingle Doodle Lapel Pins. She added that Aleva Benjamin is an Army nurse and is stationed in Panamag and also that Agnes Strekall and Dorothy Morello were the originators of that tongue scorching chili sauce The Blow Torch. George Langdorf, world famous fortune teller and magician, gave us a few of l1is magic tricks. He is second only to Houdini. He said that Gwen Clark is the burlesque queen and her theme song is Queenie, Queen of them all. Dan Kelly's slogan is: If you want your walls to have that well-groomed look, call on Dan Kelly, the best paper hanger of all time. He added that Gene Christenson was the chief grease monkey in the We 'Can Fix It Tricycle Shop. Ed Johnson is a broker on the Wall Street Stock Market. Reta Rae Melugin is house mother of the Hi Dive. She said that Roberta Lewis, cartoonist, originated the cartoon Moitle the Toitle, successor to Mickey Mouse, and that Dorothy Leidle, Alice King, Thelma Smith and Roseanna Limeberger own the H H Lazy S dude ranch. Joe read a telegram from Katherine Martin who is now a famous pianist and is appearing on a Community Concert in Seattle tonight: also one from Dr. R. A. Hawkins, who is the chief surgeon in Zanzibar. He also read a radio-gram from Vice Admiral Lyle Pederson who is now commander of the U.S.S. battleship Montana. Barbara McDougall Whiteaker laughingly said that times have changed. She is managing the Parrot while Bob stays home keeping an eye on Sharon Rose and her boy friends. She stated that Jacque Spondenburg and Irene Wong are research chemists for the Fragrance Chemical Company which specializes in chemicals for High School laboratories. Clarice Darfler said that she and Patsy Jester are now running a restaurant, The Rooster, It Speaks for Itself. She then read an advertisement for cornbread as follows: Have you ever tried Valencia Kabalin's new, improved, kitchen-tested, en- riched, vitamin-filled cornbread? All experts testify to the fact that when it comes to cornbread, it's Kabalin's. Audrey Wendel, the wor1d's most famous physical ed teacher, originator of that breath-taking Lazy Y football play, is now coaching at Notre Dame. She said Janice McMahon is an advertiser for the Rub Easy Wax Company and that Jeanne Roddy is the chief bookkeeper for the Lee Pocha Employment Agency corner of 19th and 44th Street in Montana City. The reunion ended with the singing of Brawny Bengals and Auld Lang Sync. It has been a privilege to be your narrator for the last minutes. Jonathan P. Snoop, III!

The team is really getting off to a swell start this year. Greg Rice spoke to us today . . . that's just all we needed to spur us on to buy more war stamps, hey what, gals? Bozeman played here and we had a super dance at the Civic Center afterwards. I hear we're going to have them after all the games. Pretty nice, huh? Oh happy day, we beat Butte. Most of us went over to the game, gas rationing or not. It was worth it too, be- me. And if you don't believe me, ask anyone who went over. At first I thought I was seeing things . . . fairies and supermen. But then, 1 collected my thoughts and real- ized that they were costumes for the Hi-Y Mixer. It was loads of fun. Missoula came over here . . . and the score was. . . .! Oh well, we can't always win! Kalispell played here. Boy, I guess we're just pretty good . . . ah, I mean the team is . . . Scuse, please.

We played at Billings tonight. Those who went had a good time . . . so I hear. Vigilante sales were started today. Those who buy one, get to vote for Queen and Crown Princess Vigilante. I've got a hunch that the sales are really going to zoom this year. Vivian Heiser and Rosalie Coleman were elected Queen and Crown Princess Vigilante. Oh mama, buy me one a dem! I finally got my chance to go out with my dream man by taking him to the Rainbow Dance. If everyone had as much fun as I did, they really had a good time . . . yes, sir. THE SENIOR BARN DANCE was a great success, as usual. Everyone filled up on cider and doughnuts and had a great time. Those darn boots surely hurt my feet, though. Oh yes, we also got out of school today for Thanksgiving vacation. Boy, was that turkey good!

Rooms 164 and 165 sponsored some boxing and wrestling matches and finished paying for the fountain for the Hi-Dive. Nice going, kids! The first basketball game of the season was with Deer Lodge here. The team really started out swell by win- ning the game. More power to ya, boys. The Music and Drama departments put on a very pretty Christmas program today. We all enjoyed it a lot. Oh boy, Christmas vacation starts today. I don't know how I'll make it through the day. The Annual H-Club Banquet is tonight at the Montana Club. It really ought to be fun. The Annual DeMolay dance was held tonight. Every- body looked so nice and seemed to be having a simply super time. Back to the old grind again. I just can't seem to con- centrate on my studies. I guess I just had too good a time during vacation. Oh well, just give me time. The girls all took advantage of the fact that this is Leap Year by taking their men to the Junior Leap Year dance. I had just been waiting for a chance like that . . . ahem! We played in Deer Lodge tonight and beat them again. Oh boy, does that make me feel good . . .! Butte Central played here. We're really proud of the team this year. Keep it up, boys! The team went over to Anaconda. The town was pretty dead this weekend with everyone gone, but I guess I'll live throught it. I guess. The Pep Club gave a swell rally today and introduced several new yells. It really was lots of fun and a great success. I haven't got much time today . . . I have to get in and take my semester tests. Oh why didn't I study harder? Incidentally I got through , . . how about you? We played Great Falls there today and . . . oh well, it was fun anyway. Anaconda 'Central played here and we all feel bettel' again. The Hi-Dive reopened at the K. C. Hall, too. Now I'm happy.

We played Anaconda here. I just knew the team wouldn't let us down. I just knew it. The team went to Missoula and a lot of us went over to see the game and, boy, did we have fun. We can't always win, you know. The team went on a three-day trip and won from Bil- lings, Bozeman a11d Livingston . . . Yippee! ! ! February February February February February February February February March 1 March 3 March 4 March 9, 10 and 11 March 15 March 15 March 17 March 17 April 21 April 22 May 6: May 19: May 21: May 25: This week was dedicated to the memory of Bill Taylor, 42 , who lost his life in the South Pacific. We all pledged to buy at least one defense stamp and the sale of stamps soared sky high. Bozeman came here tonight and we beat them again. Pretty good, huh? We played Missoula here, but didn't win. Sniff, sniff. Hey team, where's all your wim, wigger and witality? Tonight Billings played here a11d again we lost. I just can't understand it, darn! We played Great Falls and . . . almost beat them, anyway. The H-Club sponsored a theater rally tonight. It was peppy and practically the whole school turned out for it. There were two very good shows afterward, too. Let's have more of these!!! Butte played here tonight. Well, so what if we didn't win. The Sophomores gave their Dim Out dance tonight. Sure was fun. After seeing the three one-act plays, I've decided to take up Drama. Boy, they were just plenty alright. The team and band went to Butte today and boy, did we ever have fun. We've sure had bad luck lately with the scores . . . if you get what I mean. We played Butte Central there tonight and lost. Say. boys, what's the matter? The team sure didn't get far in the tournament at Havre, but from all the reports circulating around, they all had a good time. Oh well. We had a Lyceum today . . . a singer. He was pretty good and those who went enjoyed it. Personally, 1 think the boys were more interested in the piano player. Could be, hey what, boys? The Operetta, Chonita was presented tonight. It was very good. Guess, I'1l take up singing now. Today the Girls' Hi-Y had a St. Patrick's Day party. A good time was had by all. There was a. swell St. Patrick's Day dance at the Hi- Dive tonight. The dances there have really been great successes. The girls asked the boys to the Annual H Club dance. Initiation of the new members into the 'H-Club provided the entertainment for the evening. Oh me, what a time we had! The Senior Banquet was tonight. It was the last time for the Seniors to really get together before graduation so they made the most of it . . . ahem! !! The Junior Prom was tonight and everyone had a simply perfect time. Boy, I danced so hard, I could hardly walk the next day. It was worth it though, believe me. H-Day at last. Today is the Seniors last day at school. When the time comes to leave, it really makes them kind of sad to leave the familiar building. Good luck, kids. Baccalaureate services were held tonight and they were really beautiful. It's almost time for graduation. It hardly seems possible. Tonight was Graduation. Everything went off fine. Golly, it sure was pretty, but yet sad, too. What's this? MelIugh's d a 1 1' y helpers. Gas rationing? Watch your step, Those darn signs. Fish story. Whoops-a-daisy! Why the frown?

Junior Message We the class of 45 have completed a most successful three years of school, and We are confident that we will do as Well if not better next year. We are proud to say that our class is one of the best Helena High has ever seen. The suc- cess of our class has been due to the splendid co-operation of its members, sponsors, the faculty, Mr. Leger, and Mr. Wahl. Many of our classmates will not be here to graduate for they will be called into the service of their country. Some of these and many others will not be able to continue with fur- ther schooling after the War. For this reason We will always cherish the advantages that the happy, profitable years in Helena High are giving us. J IMMIE GOOD.

Yew-rar SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICER il 1 LALE, Sophomore Message When we of the Sophomore Class first ente1'ed Helena High as freshmen, it was the opinion of many that ours was the worst class that had ever entered the school. We are now half way through our stay in H. H. S. and we hope that we have. if not wholly, at least partially erased that opinion. In remaining two years we are going to strive our hardest to try and make those who said we were the worst class, eat their words. We are going to strive our hardest to make those same people say, when we graduate. that ours was one of the best classes in the history of the school. LET'S GO SOPHOMORES! FRANK STERMITZ.

Left to rigliti Freshman Message As a representative of the Fl'0SIl1l1BIl Class, I ani supposed to say what I think of High School. I think it's O. K. Naturally there are some things of which I don't approve but perhaps I'll see them from a different angle after a few more months of school. When our group first came here. we were slightly mixed up. Now and then we would wander down the wrong avenue and consequently find ourselves in the wrong classes, We are getting along fine now, we can find our way around. we've joined clubs, and all in all we a1'e enjoying our experi- ences.

The purpose of the Boys' Hi-Y is to maintain and extend throughout the school and community, high standards of Christian character. Mem- be1's of this club were mostly of the sophomore class. In order to learn ways of bettering this organization, Jiggs Krieg, Stan Rathman, Chuck Little, Toni Holm, and Tom Hawkins, were chosen as representatives from Helena to attend the International Hi-Y conference at Calgary, Alberta, Canada. . , . Glrls H1-Y The Girls' Hi-Y is an organization of upper class girls. Meetings this year we1'e held at noon, followed by a special lunch in the cafeteria.

Activities K , The Vigilante Crowns Its Queen Amid cheers and thunderous applause, Vivian Heiser was crowned the 1944 Vigilante Queen at an impressive coronation ceremony Friday morning, November 19, in the auditorium. Rosalie Coleman won the title of Crown Princess. ' This was the climax of a week-long subscription drive for the school yearbook, the Vigilante. Wednesday, November 10, various classes met to nominate girls to contest for Queen and Crown Princess titles. Representatives from the freshman class were Pauline Morris and Wanda Palmer, from the sopho- more class were Helen Kelly and Frances Burgess, and from the junior class were Rosalie Coleman and Jane Cheadle. The six senior girls com- peting for Queen were Peg Hanley, Gwen Clark, Delores Johnson, Anita Bruce, Helen Bond, and Vivian Heiser. On Monday, November 15, the contestants with their chosen publicity agents were introduced at an assembly program. The boys campaigning for the Princesses were Bob Callaghan, Bill Parker, Chuck Little, Bud Morris, Jed Steffensen, and Jiggs Krieg. The Queen's business managers were Joe Buley, George DeWolf, Jerry Pippy, Don Richards, Bob Radley, and Bob Hawkins. Connie Eckhardt acted as master of ceremonies at the program, and Lorna Richardson, Vigilante subscription editor, gave a short speech explaining the campaign. During the entire week, there was keen competition among the girls and the final vote was very close. Every student who bought a Vigilante was entitled to vote for Queen and Crown Princess. Ballots were prepared by Joan Kirk, Betty Lee Odom, Jo Wilson, Betty DeKay, Marilyn Smith, Peg Hanley, Barbara Green, Connie Eckhardt, Lorna Richardson, Shirley Hibarger, and Anita Bruce. As the voting closed at 9 o'clock Friday morning, no one knew who the Queen would be until she came marching down the aisle, arrayed in a beautiful white formal and red train, to the strains of a coronation march being played by the school band. After being crowned by Connie Eckhardt, senior class president, she was presented with a bouquet of red carnations. Among the students who participated were the Queens and Crown Princesses and their managers, and Pat Kind, Denny Wellington, Mae Nick, and Charles Pare, who acted as train bearers, crown and sceptre bearers.

The Bengals completely dominated the play and showed great potential strength. Helena's first conference game found the Bengals in Butte, where they planted a 6 to 0 defeat on the much vaunted Butte Purples. It was a great moral victory. On October 16 Helena was invaded by the Missoula Spartans. The Bengals were a trifle cocky as a result of their last week's victory at Butte and found the Missoula team a tough opponent. In the second half the Bengals showed that they had what every good team has, the ability to come back fighting, and scored 20 points in the remainder of the game. The score resulted in Missoula's favor 33 to 20. On October 23 the Bengals beat a tough hard-hitting Kalispell team 19 to 12. Both teams played good ball although Helena was hi11de1'ed by penalties a11d fumbles. The game ended with Kalispell threatening to score. On the trip north to Havre the Bengals found both a blizzard and a tough team. Throughout the game it was snowing, making playing con- ditions sloppy.

CAGE LETTERMEN CAPT. l'Uli'l' BROWN: B1'ow11ie finished his fourth year as a Bengal letternian this year. He was lost to the Navy towards the end of the season, and the loss proved to be a disastrous blow to the Cats. Curt sparked the Bengals for the last two years and was the best ball-hawk on the club, having earned a reputation throughout the state for his fine passing. It is with regret we look for a man to fill his shoes. FONNIE ECKHAILDT: This was the last year for Con, and his third letter. As a forward, he furnished his height, and could come through when needed. Although not a high scorer, he was a good ball handler and a 1'llStl91'. 1-IEOIHRE lleWOLF: This was Georges second season with the Cats' cage team, and his best.

George is a senior, and was the choice to fill in for Brown during the tournament. He will be a tough man to replace, and a, good one for the Marines to get. DAN KHLLEY: Dan was at his first season for the Bengals this year, and it proved a good one. He furnished height and scrap, as well as hold- ing down his center position. Too bad he won't be here to help out next year, BILL FALLAGHAN: A junior, this was Swedes first year with the varsity, and it was a good one for both himself and the team. Always full of fight, Bill could be counted on to do his share and more, As well as being the second highest scorer for the Cats, he was a good rebound man as well. Big things are expected from this boy in his Senior year. BOB CHI-INKOVICH: Slick was one of the mainstays on this year's squad, but was hit with a. club by old man hard-luck. Until that Kelley DeWolf Eckhardt . i 1 W . V . . 5. ' . . tnne, however. Clnnk was a dangerous lllllll tor any team.

I' .Hill S'l'l1Il l l-INSEN: Displaying lots of fight and speed, Jed earned l1is second stripe i11 basketball this year. As a senior next year. he should prove to be a big help to the Bengal Tigers. From his guard spot, Jefi will be seen i11 action for one more season. Q RICHIE BARBER: Richie was a new man this year to the varsity squad, illld a good one. What he lacks in size, he makes up in scrap and speed. Next year ought to see forward Richie at his best. WAL'l'l1lR LLOYD: Poker furnished tl1is year's club with the brawn. As a sophomore, he showed plenty of fight and p0W91'. With two 1ll0l'6 years to go he will be as dangerous a guard as tl1e opposition will find.

For the first time, Sam Kain was the mentor in basketball with the Tigers. The second meeting of the teams proved to be Helenafs night also, as the Cats swept from behind to hang up a 36-34 victory over the Powell boys for the first time that Helena had won on the Rangers' court. With conference play beginning, the Bengals knocked over a high- flying Butte Central five here the following week. The game was a nip and 'tuck battle from the start to the finish, but the hosts ended up on the long end of a 36-34 score. It was the first meeting of these two ball teams in two years and proved Helenais power. The following night, January 15, saw the Cats in good form to take the Anaconda Copperheads in the Smelter City by 39 to 30. This was the first time the Bengals had won in Anaconda for many years, and primed them for the following week against the undefeated Great Falls Bisongs. At Great Falls the following weekend, Helena played hard and held the Bisons to a four-point lead at half-time, but were routed in the third quarter attack of Great Falls when they hit 23 points in quick order. It was a tough game, but the Bengals kept on fighting and cut out the hot streak to come into the finish with 35 points as against 53. Tasting defeat for the first time, and not liking it, the Cats knuckled down and rolled over Anaconda Central 53-24 the following week. The next night, the Havre jinx held good against the Bengals as they fought to lose 28 to 23. This was one of the worst performances the Bengals turned in this season. Completely off, the Havre team had little trouble in turning the tide. With the loss to Havre, the Cats worked hard and polished the Cop- perheads from Anaconda 43-31 the next week. This was the second meet- ing and the same number of victories for the Capital City boys OVGI' Anaconda. Turning westward, the Bengals encountered the Missoula Spartans in the Flower City to find themselves as cold as a winter night at the bucket, although turning in a good floor game, but dropping the final count by 29 to 35. Traveling southward the following week for a four-day trip found the Cats in their prime. The first night, knocking off undefeated Billings there to the tune of 32-25. This was the first time the Broncs had been beaten on their home court by any team in the last five years. The next victim of the Bengals was Bozeman, as the following night the Hawks got it in the neck 31 to 23, the second string of Cats administering the score. The third and final game saw the Tigers blacken the tough Liv- ingston Rangers' eyes 30 to 29, in one of the best games turned in by the Cats all season. Trailing by three to seven points the entire game, the Cats came from behind in the closing minutes to darken the Rangers' bright hopes. Under pressure all the time, as well as playing more than a five-man team, the Bengals ended a fine road trip that set the state on pins and needles. The Gallatin Hawks of Bozeman came back for more the next week- end, and got it to the tune of a 44-32 whitewashing. Although the Hawks had a great potential team, they couldn't get together enough to turn the victory their way, but later on in the season they proved themselves. The Spartans from Missoula returned to the Bengals' lair the next weekend and hung on a 38-35 win in a red-hot ball game. The Cats fought but not hard enough, and didn't recover fully the next night as the Bill- ings Broncs with blood in their eye, upset the apple-cart, and nosed out Helena 42-39. The next week, with the season drawing to a close, the Cats pre- pared for the still undefeated Great Falls Bisons to come to the Capital City. With the loss of Captain Curt Brown before this game, the team was deeply hurt, but showed Great Falls the toughest time they had yet encountered this season. Holding the Bisons 'to 31 points, the lowest they had been held to all year, the Cats tried, fought hard, and to the last second, but couldn't gather the badly needed seven points for the ball game. The final score was 31 to 25, and was a performance that the fans won't forget for some time. The last three games of the season saw the Bengals in a terrible slump. They got basket shy and lost these games to the tune of 43-23 to Butte, 40-29 also to the Purples, and a final shellacking of 52 to 22 to the improved Butte Central club. The tournament in Havre, March 10, 11 and 12, saw the Bengals still not in the swing by a loss to Havre of 42-33. The next day, the Cats were completely knocked out of the tourney by a fast Fergus five in a hard- fought, tight 33 to 31 contest. This ended the Bengals' season with a conference standing of nine in the Big 16. The Cats won seven and lost nine conference games, which was a. vast improvement over the '42-'43 season. Helena actually won 10 and lost 11 games, collecting a total of 662 points, an average of 31.57 points per game, to the oppositions' 700 points, with an average of 33.33 points per game. In playing 21 games, Helena proved they had the stuff in them, and should go to town over the state in the next two years, as they have a very promising club returning despite the loss of four senior lettermen. Those seniors who have played in their last high school competition were Captain Brown, Eckhardt, DeWolf, Kelley, Johnson, Pippy, and Hawkins. The first four received letters this year. The true credit for the success of the club during the past season goes to another person, however, Coach Sam Kain, for his great coaching. It was his first year with the Cage Team of Helena, and a good one. In the next two years, with a fellow like Coach Kain behind them, the Ben- gals are due for a crack ball club.

B TRACK 4-fr-Pfwf The Men of the Cinder Path again take to the spring training with new vigor and vitality. Although two lettermen survived from last year's ' team, the potential power is a bright outlook. The two veterans are ne M year's basketball captain, Bill Callaghan, and the sprinter of the hurdles, 0 4 Beezie Jones. Callaghan's specialty is the mile and half-mile. As only a sophomore last year, Bill came through to take second in the state meet, losing only two races the whole season, both to the same man. Bill has a large stride, and is a more consistent miler than a lot of runners. Although he has no great spurt at the close of the gruller, he begins about the third lap, and then it's usually curtains for the others in the race. We expect big things from Bill this year, but on account of the war, and general uncertainties, it will be hard to tell. In March of this year no trackmeets had been scheduled. The other veteran is small but like a streak of lightning, Beezie Jones. Following in the footsteps of the best 200-yard low-hurdler fJerry Ebyl in the state a few seasons ago, Beezie, through hard work, and good training is now a potential threat to the others who think they have nobody left to compete with, Beezie has a very quick start, which leaves most competitors in the dust, and gradually gains momentum, taking the first hurdle easily, as if it weren't in his path. After that he really starts to move, and consequently is all alone when he finishes the heat. Beezie is a junior, we have a lot of confidence in him: and are looking forward to the first meet, when he will have a. chance to show his talents. Some more of the team, whom we expect to have developed consider- ably since last year are Dick Regan, sophomore mile man. Dick showed a lot of promise as a frosh last year, and should be good this season. Joe Brennan, sophomore, who asta frosh last year, won his first high school race, but soon stopped to report for spring football. If Joe will stay out this year, he ought to be one of the fastest dash men in the state, his specialties being the 100 and 220-yard dashes. A third sophomore to come through is Bob Short, pole-vaulter, and another dash man. AS a grade- school star, Bob went right on into high school continuing with his talent. If Bob will come through as expected, the H.H.S. track squad will be a complete crack unit. mis -4' -LA4-..... . 4' I W- C awww 4 Junior :intl senior inf-inbers this yenr: Front row seated l. to r.: lllnrfitt, lim-tty Sziiifoiwl, lluisur, Fulton, l,!1'iilg'vs, lflowllen.
