A HIGH SCHOOL HAMLET IN 1911 B. I. B., ’13 To do—or not to do, that is the question. Whether ’tis better in the Spring to study And get our lessons and our recitations; Or sit and think, by some wide-open window, Of how our track team’s coming. To muse, to dream Of all. And in that dream to say we win The shot-put and the other track events That we must fight for. ’Tis a great victory Which we will surely gain. To muse—to.dream—• And then, perchance, to wake—aye, there’s the rub! For then our visions sweet fall to the ground. And we must know our field’s yet to be done And we must do it; and all work hard To aid the people who will try to .win The victory we’ve just been dreaming of. And now we realize that we must work Together here. Who’ll bring along the tools And grunt and sweat, and build a nice new fence ? And next the plow and horses come in line To do their part in this important place. No one must pike, but all be there. Anon The girls come, too. and bring along the lunch—- Pickles and other stuff we know not of, The while their cheers make workers of us all. And thus the former look of Higgins field Is changed by those who wish to do us proud. The Bitter Root Page 13

FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Providence led the class of 1914 to the classic walls of Missoula High to show the upper classmen perfect specimens of what a class should be. It is difficult to surmise what might have happened to the local institution if the ver- dant first-year boys and girls had migrated else- where. We can say, with Julius Caesar, 4‘Veni, vidi, viei: ’ ’ for immediately upon our arrival we took the lead in all school activities and as a result suo ceeded in winning the majority of places in the various athletic contests. Then came our banquet—it was fit for the gods—and the merry-making at the table will long be regarded as the dearest and sweetest memories of school days. Not content with the athletic honors, we organized an English Club, at which we had regular resurrections of Shakespeare, Scott, and Carroll. Our detention team is leading in the contest for the silver cup and, judging from present results, we shall be able to hold the cup for the next three years. As students—well, if High Schools should award Phi Beta Kappa keys the 1914 class would surely get a corner on these much-coveted souvenirs. Our records up to date reveal a remarkable percentage of honor students—we are all above passing grade, as indicated by the letter P, and it is already forecasted that 1914 will be the class to produce the next Rhodes9 Scholarship-winner! We could say more, but we are not boastful. The Bitter Root Page 15
