A. KETCHAM, Principal THE BITTER ROOT — 9 — I The year started auspiciously with the overwhelming vote for the bonds for the new addition. Cnder the conditions it was an especially noteworthy vote of confidence in the high school. The slow hut certain progress of the building opera- tions has through the year been a source of inspiration and encouragement because of tin better working conditions prom- ised for the future. The school has won its usual share of distinctions rf one sort and another and the student body has shown its usual fine co-operation with the faculty and the management of the school. Next year with our greatly en- larged and improved plant, we should be able to give still better service to the boys and girls of the community. G. A. KETCH AM.

Freshmen, however, merely gas up the flivvers and get on to school. They seem to have the same mark t shoot at—the papoose for the wampum belt that meant warriorhood, the freshman for the sheepskin that means manhood, or at least freedom from school conventions. The papoose had to sit and listen to a medicine man extol the miracles and wrath of Manitou; the frosh go through nearly the same rites except that the subjects are varied. While the Indians learned naught of art, yet they had their lore of the woods to learn. We fear that they had to memorize many of the old legends. Well, freshmen, it isn’t such a bad old world! Just get out your quiver full of sharp wits and shoot at that “A” target. You’ll get your wampum if you try. The freshmen, though they feel their importance as individuals, did not organize as a class this year. THE BITTER ROOT Mr. Peterson. Stillings. Schramm. Nink, Dishmnn Officers of tile Sophomore Class A sideshow in the Senior Carnival, enviable records in scholarship, and individual honors were won by the sophomore class this year. George Neff of the class of ’33 played on the first team in football. Glenn Schultz played with the “A” squad. The girls were not outdone in athletics; the sopho- more girls of the Girls’ Athletic Association made ten more points than the other three classes combined. The sophomores have distinguished themselves in scholarship, and many of their members are officers or members of organizations. George Nink is president of the Forensic (’lub, and Noreen Dishman is an officer of the Girls’ Athletic Association. THE BITTER ROOT — 22 — JUNIORS Johnson, High, Kohn, Perry. Mrs. Muckier, Stephenson Officers of Junior (Mass Beginning the year with a colorful and successful Junior Mixer, the junior class has been one of the most enterprising groups in the school. The juniors copped first place in the sideshows of the Senior Carnival with a unique stunt, a living-pictu re gallery. They divided the class into two groups and sold subscriptions for magazines, the proceeds of which contest went to the Junior Prom treasury. A movie tieup was a success both financially and artistically. The climax of the year’s events, the Junior Prom, was a colorful riot, a gay whirl, one of the most beautiful and successful ever held. The juniors not only have been a credit to the school; they have made this year one of the most enjoyable for the school. They have representatives in the Pep Club, the musical rgdnizations, the Girls’ Club Cabinet, and many others of the school’s helpful organizations. They have supported the sports of the school by their turnouts at games and their aid in tin sports. Their hot-dog sales at the football games netted them money for the Prom. THE BITTER ROOT — 24 — Fragments from The Log of the Junior Class Dedication: TO NRPTF.VB Our good ship is sailing toward harbors kissed by sunshine; Friendships, high hopes, and laughter fill her hold; Honor, her helmsman, warns, “Daddies, keep the high seas!” Bell buoys clamor, “Laddies all, beware the rocks and shoals!” Neptune, Neptune, don’t think we sc rn their warning; We try to catch their meaning although laughter rocks the hold. Neptune, Neptune (bless your little fishes), Our lighthouse lights are gleaming; Our scorning but a seeming, And our cargo is pure gold. The Secret of Junior Success: Hard work and laughter. Our Colors: Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green, Red, Indigo, Violet. Our Motto: Never say die; keep to the right; never put off till tomor- row; the early worm; sobriety; truth; courage; rolled oats. Our Helmsman: Honor. Our Lighthouse: Conscience. Our Anchor: A, B, C, D. Our Crew: The Juniors who Never Say Die. ----o---- From Songs to our Home Rooms: To Miss (dark: (There are others.) She has a way we all adore of picking up the chalk; She has a sunny way of mixing laughter with her talk. ----o---- DAVY JONES’S LOCKER In Davy Jones’s locker lies the wealth gone down at sea, Though some folks pray it may come up, ’tis said that ne’er can be. There are silks and satins shimmering, and rubies, jade, and pearls, And faithful, singing sailor lads, and dainty, laughing girls. ----o---- There are many stately ships, tad, That over wide seas roam; And many hardy sailors, lad, Who live on the briny foam; Hut there never was a prettier, lad, Than the frigate, ’32; Nor a braver crew of seamen, tad, Than the Juniors, “tried• and true.” THE BITTER ROOT — 25 — Torch Honor Society Membership in the Torch Honor Society is open to sophomores, juniors, «md seniors who have qualified themselves during the previous year. A system of points for scholarship and outside activities is used. The emblems of the organization are the one bar pin for sophc mores, the two bar pin for juniors, and the gold Torch pin for seniors. This year eighty-one students have been awarded membership; twenty- eight seniors, twenty-seven juniors, and twenty-six sophomores.

II. S., we’ll say goodbye; (’lass of ’31 is through. Other classes coming up will take the lead. May your banner wave on high, Conquer both old foes and new, And forever be remembered by your deeds. CHORUS INI. II. S., live on forever; Win your battles great and small. Always fight and do your best; We’re behind to do the rest, And we’re always here to back you when you call. Though we wander far and wide, Yet i i mem’ries we’ll recall All the friends and comrades we have left behind; And remember with great pride Classroom, teacher, stately ball. And the good times we were always wont to find.

There was a young: fellow named Searles; lie had no great fondness for girls, For one day in the hall lie heard a girl call, “lie lias most adorable curls!” There is in our school Melva (1. Who can sing all the way up.to “C.” In the opera last May She took laurels away, Bui she si ill is the same Melva (1. There is a young man named Ben White; I am sure that he studies all night, For his grades they are fine And he has a fast line, Does that red-headed boy we call White. A new girl in our school is she, Oh, this bright maiden named Joy Lancey. She seems fond of her books And has lots of good looks: So an honor to us she will be. There is a young girl called Marie, And ’tis known her Iasi name starts with 1 You will find she’s 0. K. In almost any way, Is this bright little maid named Marie. I like that bright girl. An ice I). She’s as thoughtful and sweet as can be. She's a friend; she’s a pal; Just a wonderful gal! If you know her at all, you’ll agree . We have a young lady named Ossia ; Now watch out, folks, or she’ll josh ya; She’s as smart as a whip; She’s got spirit and zip, This honor roll student named Ossia. THE BITTER ROOT — 47 — We have in our class Mary Z. And a very good student is she. You can see at a glance How that girl will advance j That's because she's as bright as can be.

Bottom Row—Neff, Copenhaver, Daigle, Marion, .Jacobsen, Sayler, Shupe, Akin, Smith, Be Piane. 1931 FOOTBALL SQlTAI) Tlit outlook for a successful football season was exceedingly dark when Coach Stegner called for volunteers on September 2. Only three veterans, Captains dacobsen and Shupe and Quarterback Sayler appeared in suits from last year’s team; but with their usual determination and the fighting spirit of the boys, Coach Stegner and Line-Coach Thrailkill produced a team that reached the state semi-finals and won the respect of the fans throughout the state. Much credit is deserved by those boys who did not make the team but stayed out through the entire season in order to make the first team possible. By winning four of their seven games and losing only to Butte, the state cham- pions, and the University freshmen, the Purple and Cold warriors established a record of which the school can Ik justly proud. Further team recognition was won when Sayler, quarterback, and Jacobsen, end, were placed on the all state teams. THE BITTER ROOT — 50 — Muller Akin Sayler Shupe Hamilton McClain Daigle Sager Zempke Mattson Jacobsen TIIE FIRST TEAM Arthur .Jacobsen “Jakey” was undoubtedly the outstanding play- End and Captain er on the line. 11 is vicious tackling, pass receiving, and invulnerable defensive work ranked him among the three or four leading ends in the state. His con- sistent work throughout the season placed him on coaches’ first all-state team and on Scott’s second all- state team. Merle Shupe Captain and Halfback “Slmpy” finished his second , year at halfback in great style. 11 is hard tackling and low smashing line-drives featured all of his games. lie was partic- ularly outstanding in the semi-final game at Butte. Coaches’ and Scott’s honorable mention. Rudy Sayler Quarterback “Rudy” was outstanding in every game of the season. Ills speed combined with his shifty broken field running kept the opponents in hot water at all limes. The combination of his offensive and de- fensive work left no doubt as to his high standing among the players of the state. He was placed on Scott’s all-state team. THE BITTER ROOT — 51 — Hamilton Mattson McClain Daigle Sager Hobbs Jacobsen TIIE LINE First Team (Continued) Edward Sager ('apt a in-Elect, (V nter Melvin Akin Halfback Walter Hobbs Tackle George Neff Guard When Sager was playing football, he forgot his usual bashfulness and proceeded to rove about the field, much to the disgust of the opponents. “Eddy” was elected by a wide majority to lead next year’s eleven. “Mully ” was our flyweight star back. His speed and ability to run the ends and his vicious tackling more than made up for what he lacked in weight. He won his fame by taking a pass and running twenty yards for a touchdown in the last minute of the Kalis- pell game, breaking the 6 to 6 tie and thereby win- ning the Western District championship. Hobbs used his weight and toughness to advan- tage in every game. Few gains could he made off tackle with Hobbs in there. He will be back next year. “Neff” was only a Soph this year, but it made no difference, for he stepped in and held down a guard position. He will be back for many more games. THE BITTER ROOT Muller Akin Shupe Sayler THE BACK FIELD Leo McClain Tackle Roy Mattson Tackle Harold Christian Halfback First Team (Continued) “Mac” was especially good in driving. His spe- cially was charging in and stopping the other teams’ plays before they started. This was Mattson’s first year of football, but his size and fight enabled him to develop into a tackle of first class, lie was particularly outstand- ing in the Helena and Kalispell games. “Chris” was valuable to the club through his exceptional ability to pass. 11 is long bullet passes kept the opponents worried throughout the game. Justus Muller Muller was new to the position this year but lie Fullback was always in there, fighting to the last gun. lie will be backing the line for the Purple and Gold again next year. THE BITTER ROOT — 53 — Bill Hamilton End Hiram Marc yes Guard Russell Daigle Guard Hubert Zempke Guard First Team (Concluded) “Ham” was undoubtedly the equal of any man on the team when it came to “fighting spirit.” He upheld the right wing in all-American style through all the games, lmt was particularly outstanding in the Kali ape 11 game. Coaches’ and Scott’s honorable mention. “Hi” had the tough luck of breaking his arm before any games were played and was out for the rest of the season, but he was awarded a letter on his sportsmanship and his playing last year. Daigle was playing his first year for the Purple and Gold at guard. Although small he filled his po- sition better than many larger men. His ability and fight put him on the bottom of many a play. “Zem” was our good looking boy. It was thought a marvel by all who saw him that a man could be so good looking and still play football. The harder they came, the better he liked it. THE BITTER ROOT — 54 — The Games MISSOULA, 7; ALUMNI, 0 In a somewhat slow and ragged exhibition the team defeated the Missoula Alumni, the only counter coming from an intercepted pass late in the game. MTSSOITLA, 18, DEER LODGE, 0 On October 4, the Purple and Gold, outfought and outplayed the invading Powell team for the second victory of the season. Although outweighed, the team came through and showed a marked improvement. MISSOULA, 12; CUBS, 25 Missoula put up a wonderful exhibition against the well-polished fresh- man team. They were the only team to score on the Cubs during the season. MISSOULA, 6; BUTTE, 31 Playing in two inches of mud and snow, the Purple and Gold outplayed the Purple and White for two quarters, but in the second half the advantage of weight began to show, and the Missoula defence sagged under the terrific line plunges of the heavier Butte team. MISSOULA, 25; HELENA, 0 The following Saturday Missoula took revenge on Helena with a 25 to 0 thumping. Outclassed in every department of the game, the Bengals never threatened at any time. Spectacular runs by Akin, Sliupe, and Sayler paved the way for Missoula’s scoring. Jacobsen and Mattson were outstanding defensively. MISSOULA, 13, KALISPELL, 6 In the most thrilling game of recent years Missoula won the Western District championship from the unscored-on Flathead club. With the score ti to 6 and a minute to play, Akin took a pass from Sayler and sprinted 20 yards for the winning counter. Perfect teamwork and co-ordination, combined with an unfiqualed fighting spirit, made the victory possible. Practically every member of the team starred. MISSOULA, 0; BUTTE 21 On November 15, Missoula journeyed to Butte to. play in the state semi- finals. The well balanced and powerful state championship team pushed over three touchdowns despite the determined stands of the Purple and Gold.

THE BITTER ROOT — 56 — BASKETBALL Coach Stegner Assistant Coach Ritter OUR COACHES We take this opportunity to show our sincere appreciation of the services given by Coaches Stegner and Ritter in de- veloping our athletic teams of the past seasons. Through thick and thin they have labored to make it possible for our teams to bring glory to the school in football, basketball, and track. THE BITTER ROOT — 57 — McEacheron, McQuarrie, Smith, Bryan, Hobbs, Baird, Nevvbauer, Marion McClain, Hamilton, Muller, Jacobsen, Sayler, Wilcox, Roney, Christian With Sayler, Wilcox, Muller, Hamilton, Christian, and Jacobsen back from last year’s squad, prospects looked very favorable for a successful basketball season. The Purple and Gold quint started in whirlwind fashion by decisively trimming Loyola, Hamilton, and Plains, and barely losing to the crack Miles City team of Custer County. The Christmas vacation seemed to slow basket- ball activities down, and from then on, although playing in championship form at times, the team was unable to play good ball consistently. Though they didn’t win a majority of their games, the members of the team deserve much credit for their fine sportsmanship, clean playing, and wonderful fighting spirit. THE BITTER — 58 — ROOT Muller, Marion, Christian, Roney, Wilcox, Sayler Newbauer, Jacobsen, McClain, Hamilton In Action Rudy Sayler—forward. This was Rudy’s third year at forward. His speed and fine floorwork showed to advantage at all times. Justus Muller—forward. Muller was noted for his “fight” and drive. He will be very valuable next year. Lester Wilcox—center. “Willy” proved to be a lifesaver for the team by consistently getting the tip-off and dropping in baskets when most needed. Bill Hamilton—guard. This was Bill’s second year on the team. He showed his ability by making the Second District team at the tournament. Art Jacobsen—guard. Although hampered at the first of the season by sick ness, “Jakev” came through and proved to he a valuable scoring guard. Harold Christian. “Red” alternated at both guard and forward, playing each position effectively. He will be back next year. THE BITTER ROOT — 59 — Chidley,' Solander, Zuber, Taber, Ric-e, Wilcox, Adams Thompson, Leslie, Typer, Lundy, Stein, Wigal, Newman, Wilburn The ‘6A” Team The “A” team is composed only of underclassmen. Those boys who did not make the first squad are placed under Coach Ritter for instruction and training to develop material for the future first teams. Although not enter- ing in regular district competition, the “A” team scheduled and played many teams throughout the Western District, making a very creditable showing by winning a large percentage of their games. THE BITTER ROOT — 60 — During the season the Purple and Gold warriors took the scalps from nine of their twenty foes, beating powerful teams such as Butte, Butte Central, Lewistown, and Loyola. The more important games were: MISSOULA, 28; LEWISTOWN, 26. On the first trip of the season the locals dropped their first game at Great Falls but came back strong to trim the smooth Fergus quint. Sayler was outstanding, collecting a total of 13 points. MISSOULA, 26; BUTTE, 16 With a polished passing attack, Missoula easily downed Butte in a fast struggle on the home court. MISSOULA, 13; BUTTE, 23 Hampered by the narrow gym, Missoula took a beating at the hands of the much improved Purple and White club. Only Jacobsen and Wilcox were able to find the net. MISSOULA, 19; BUTTE CENTRAL, 18 In a hair-raising thriller, the Purple and Gold quint downed Central on the latter’s court. Savior’s last minute basket saved the day for the victors. MINING DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Missoula took fourth place in the Mining District tournament. After losing their first game to Deer Lodge, the team turned around and with a brilliant display of basketball, eliminated Butte Central with a 21-19 defeat. The next, game found Missoula and Deer Lodge again matched, but this time the tables were turned, and Missoula coasted forward with another victory. The last night of the tournament, Missoula lost to the fast Butte team, and took fourth place. The Purple and Gold quint had a chance to make the State tournament because of the arrangement in which the winner of fourth in the Mining District plays the winner of third place in the Yellowstone District to decide which team goes, but the great expense and inconvenience of such a game made it advisable for Missoula to withdraw and let Belfry go without the usual play-off game.

The season was very suc- cessful, as there was a turnout of one hundred and fifty girls. From these, eight girls were chosen for each class team. Four seniors, seven juniors, eight sophomores, and eight freshmen won points toward G. A. A. The sophomore team won over the other three classes, and, as a result, each girl on the victorious team won sixty points toward G. A. A. Girls on the other class teams won fifty points.

The name is derived from Thespius, who first introduced dialogue into the Greek drama. The aim of the organization is to promote more and better dramatics in the high school. The Thespians successfully produced “ It Won’t Be Long Now,” the major dramatic production of the year; an evening of one-act plays; the Little Theatre tournament play; and sponsored the original one-act play contest. They also had many delightful social affairs during the year. Officers this year were: President, Kenneth Spaulding; secretary, Katli- ryne Borg; treasurer, Ossia Taylor.

The show was filled with snappy quips and jokes; I In musical numbers of the various performers showed much talent and practice. “Robin Hood,” a light opera, was produced to finance the sending of talent to the Music Meet. The opera was given in collaboration with the Girls’ Glee Club, most of the chorus work being that of the boys, however. Contributions to assembly programs, and broadcasts over the local radio station, have also been given by the group. A new group for boys with unchanged voices was formed early in the second semester.

Although the other glee clubs were relied upon for chorus work, the work of Group I was outstand- ing. In “Robin Hood,” the girls showed exceptional talent, and their chor- uses blended with those of the Boys’ Glee Club to make an exceptional per- formance. Aiding in assembly programs and entering numbers in several clubs, the glee club has added much to the school’s musical entertainment. The Christ- mas pageant, which was a colorful and dignified performance, was the work of this group, chiefly.

THE BITTER ROOT — 103 — Snow and the pines! No artist’s clever brush With all the colors endowed, and all the touch Of artistry, could reproduce the lines— The deep hush, broken but by creatures such As love the snow and green. They chatter clear, And often loud, but in harmonious rhyme Their happy arias sound—sometimes so near That one could reach and break the peace sublime With one harsh stroke. The velvet chipmunk runs Without a fear, to one bush, then a log, And then another bush. Why hunters’ guns Should dare to set the forest town agog With loud reports and sad reports of deaths Of “Just another chipmunk,” they see not. A bantering snowbird’s tune shouts through the heaths, While he steps on the snow, a grayish blot. An airy tune runs trilling, then it ends Upon the tip of every rugged tree. A bit of green, the Lupine’s lasting stock, With yet its touch of yellow, struggles free Above the snowy mantle on the grass. A bit of cottony white on every branch— An icicle of crystal, frail, thin glass— Snow and pines! What artists hope to clench And hold on canvas all the silent sounds, The noisy hush, the shining crystal glass, The cottony mantle and the chipmunk’s bounds, And then the tips of withering Lupine grass. Horace Tait, ’31. THE BITTER ROOT — 109 — Indiae Legend Where the Rockies rear their summits White and hoary to the skv, And the brooklets, born of glaciers, Laugh and gurgle, rushing by; And a cliff oVrhangs a valley, Overlooks a mountain stream, Red Bird, daughter of a chieftain, Came to gaze, to love, to dream. Clad in buckskin, tall and stately With her proud, black eyes aglow Smouldering with the sacred fire For the brave, White Buffalo, He, the bravest of her people, He whose frail birchbark canoe Skimmed the foam and ran the rapids. He, whose heart was staunch and true. Red Bird pondered; but below her Rose a spiral, gray and thin, Signals! Down below the Blackfeet! Joseph, with two hundred men! Clear and shrill she gave the war-cry, “Kootchiwanm ! Blackfeet! Foe!” From the tepees swarmed the warriors, Led by young White Buffalo, O’er the hill-top from the Northward Painted Blackfeet, ten score strong, Swooped upon the Nez Perce village. To avenge an age-old wrong. Arrows whistled as the ponies Of the Blackfeet circled ’round; Red Bird’s father, old Bald Eagle, Fell exhausted to the ground. THE BITTER ROOT — no — Women, children, all the people Of the Nez Perce slaughtered lay, All but Red Bird’s Indian lover, By brave Joseph held at bay. Red Bird watched the gruesome battle, Saw her lover rise again, Jump upon his fleet-foot pony, Gallop out. upon the plain, Bend his bow. She knew his purpose— Death should not the lovers part. Proud she stood, upright, awaiting, Till an arrow pierced her heart. Down she fell, straight as a plummet, Down—without a word or cry; Where she fell, a scarlet cardinal Winged its way into the sky, Flying westward, toward the sunset, Met the young White Buffalo, Killed by Joseph. But the lovers Met in the Land of Sunset Glow. Rutii Polleys, 31. I want to roam in the hills again under the bluest sky, And all that I '11 take is a heavy staff, and the moon to guide me by, Where the wind will give a merry song upon a golden fife. Oh, I must roam in the hills once more, and lead a gypsy’s life! And I would gather in my arms all the lilies white, And watch the stars and silvery moon, sailing in the night. Oh God! give me the mountain air where I can be a rover, Where I can sleep to the moaning wind—when the day is over. V. J., ’34. THE BITTER ROOT — in — The White Canoe i In the great Missouri’s valley, J3uilt beside its muddy waters, Stood the village of the Pawnee, Famous once for warriors, hunters. II In the lodges once was plenty; Happy then the squaws and warriors; Gone this now; the kettles empty; Famine here with all its horrors. III On a knoll above the others Stood a tepee larger, grander; From its entrance decked with antlers Strode the chieftain, Eagle Feather. IV Gazing on the scene below him— Groups of people wildly talking— Presently he saw among them The witch doctor slyly walking. V Going slowly down to meet them, To the center of the gathering. There he stopped, that famous chieftain, Waited for their sad complaining. VI 1 ‘Chief, our god is angry with us, Many years have we forgotten To give human sacrifices; Thus the med’cine man lias spoken.” VII Startled was the chief and angry; Well he knew in other famines Chieftains ’ daughters fair and lovely To the waterfalls were given. THE BITTER ROOT — 112 — VIII Seneca, his youngest daughter, Kinder to him than all others. Dearest was she to her father, ilex he must give to the waters. IX Now his daughter in the forest With her friends was talking, weaving Baskets for their scanty harvest, Withered corn ears, scarce worth picking. X Naught the chieftain’s pleas availed him, Maddened like the old witch doctor, All his people rose against him. River gods must have his daughter. XI Sadly turned he to his dwelling, 11 is heart laden down with sorrow; While the people were preparing For the offering on the morrow. XII So the young men of the village Built her a canoe of birch bark, White as snow upon tlie mountain, Graceful as a gliding night hawk. XIII And the maidens, her companions, Decked it with the flowers of summer; Bitter roots and light blue gentians, Flowers purple, white, and golden. XIV In the morning just as suni ise Tinted all the sky with splendor, As a bride adorned with flowers, Seneca came to the river. XV On the shore the people gathered, But their chief was not among them; Had they looked they had discovered ’Cross the stream alone, their chieftain. THE BITTER ROOT — 113 — XVI Slowly drifting on the water, Lightly the canoe was gliding, Clad in white, the chieftain’s daughter Knelt among the flowers praying. XVII Nearer to the falls she drifted; Sprays of flowers trailing after, White arbutus, purple orchid, Made a path upon the water. XVIII White the water falls and angry, Flecked with foam and roaring loudly; Splashing whirlpool, swirling eddy Seemed to beckon to her dumbly. XIX As she neared the tumbling rapids, The canoe of Eagle Feather Darted out upon the waters; O’er the falls they plunged together. XX Thus the sacrifice was given; Soon to them was sent a token. For the failing tears from heaven Told the famine now was broken. Mary Zeiintxer, ’31. THE BITTER ROOT — 114 — A Glimpse of Avalanche Lake It was early one sunny morning in August, while the air was yet cool and the grass still laden with sparking dewdrops, that Jean and f set out for a five-mile hike up into the mountains to Avalanche Lake from the camp on Lake McDonald. The climbing was quite easy in most places; the path, which was rather wide, was shaded by numerous tall pines on either side. Half way to the lake we came upcn a small bubbling spring of icy cold water flowing out of a narrow, mossy crevice in the mountainside. We stopped there for a moment to refresh ourselves and then set off once more at a brisk pace, which would shortly bring us to our destination. Soon after this, as we rounded a bend in the trail, we looked suddenly upon such a world of beauty that we must need pause for some length to gaze with wonder at Nature's magnificent work of art. We had arrived at Ava- lanche Lake. From the end of the trail a grassy hank sloped gradually down to the pebbly water's edge. The Lake itself was rather small and not very wide, but long and narrow. Around it the dark green forest grew almost down to the shore. Yonder, looming majestically above the forest, were lofty mountain peaks with shimmering glaciers clinging precariously to their rocky heights. Just beyond the end of the lake a sheer, towering wall of rock rose up—up, many thousands of feet into the air. Hurtling recklessly down this precip- itous wall were four sparkling waterfalls. From the foot of the cliff each dashed headlong into the calm, green waters of the lake. What magnificent scenery this was! Helen Stuart, ’32. Dreams Like a tapestry that’s faded, A memory resurrected, A play that’s misdirected. Like an eyesight that’s shaded. So are our dreams. Mabel IIalbasch, ’31. T HE BITTER ROOT — 115 — Magic is the silence, Mystic is the silence, And awful is the silence of the desert in the dark. Desert stars a-twinkle, Desert lamps a-twinkle, The silence broken only by a desert jackal’s bark. Watch the desert darkness— Shapes of desert darkness Move in shadowy outline ’gainst the shimmer of the sands. Whispers in the silence, Love songs of the silence, War songs from the silence of long-buried caravans. Goes the spirit camel, Swift the spirit camel. Woe the desert wanderer who may cross the camel’s path ! Messenger of Allah, Of the one god Allah, Carrying the flaming sword of mighty Allah’s wrath. Shadows of the ancient Pyramids so ancient, Fall as comes the desert mo m and floods with sparkling light. Magic is the silence, Mystic is the silence, And wonderful, the silence of the desert in the night. Horace Tait, ’:n.

And in the sky There glows the rainb w light. The rain has washed away the dust. The flowers bloom; the grass is green, The raindrops fall softly, slowly. Then the earth, after the rain, Wakens to a new life with a song of thanks. The song bird’s silver voice tells the world to rejoice Because of the sunshine. V. J., ’34. May is the beautiful month.

THE BITTER ROOT A field of yellow and a background of green—-the natural beauty—it was a sight unequaled by planted estates, or by painted landscapes. High in the Rockies, only on the summits or highest ridges, these great yellow patches appeared—lupine, the royal flower of the West. . It grows on a tall, slim stalk, which shoots suddenly out of a clump of coarse grass. The top of the stalk is covered with yellow petals—like a magic wand gold-tipped, transforming a bare plot into a fairyland! Such a sight was met upon the summit of Mt. Stuart, the tallest dome north of Missoula. We stood in the lupine, the wasps and bees humming about in apparent unconsciousness of human presence. The tall wands reached our armpits. Below us, in the Rattlesnake valley (what an unlovely name for such a lovely place!) stood my cabin, on the edge of the clearing, a brown spot in the yellow mass of lupines which extended around the whole edge of the lake. Truly, this was a gem, this blue lake! A gem, set in gold, and reposing upon a green plush cushion! I could n t help thinking of the rings in the jewelers’ windows, but how, oh how much more beautiful is this natural gem! Horace Tait, ’SI. To Music To thee, () Music, noblest of the arts, All nations, races all, have given praise, Long ages past Apollo's lyre did raise Sweet thoughts that stirred the Grecian maiden’s hearts. And warlike legions in the Roman marts Were fired with courage on their conquering ways By martial music strong. Immortal lays Thy spirit sings and hope to life imparts. 0 sweetest sound, in every mood of Man There is a place that you alone may fill. Your saddest melodies bring poignant pains, And laughter bubbles through your buoyant strains. All Nature’s notes from brook and wooded hill Have gently soothed Man’s soul since time began. Kathryne Borg, ’31. THE BITTER ROOT — 119 — A Dream I sit by the glowing embers, And the blue smoke curls to the sky; Out of his lodge comes Po To Pi, A brave of the days gone by. TIis long black hair hung in two braids; 1 Lis coppery skin showed his race. With a piercing glint he eyed me. There was youth in his keen-cut face. A pelt hung over his shoulders. With a thong his bow was strung; A quiver with straight, true arrows Prom his bone-clasped girdle hung. With a spark he kindled a blaze there. As the smoke from the first flames cleared. He backed off out of the firelight, Waved his hand and disappeared. Ethel Christiansen, 731. Mystery of Night The night is dark, Wild shadows lurk, The moonlight is a lamp, The stars are my guide. What is the moon ? Is it another world] What are the stars? Are they balls of fire ? These are natural things. But whence came these mysteries ? Mysteries of the dark night. God made them all, To give glowing colors to the night. V. J., ’34. THE BITTER ROOT — 124 — A Play in One Act By KENNETH SPAULDING CHARACTERS EMMY TOOLEY, a hill girl of Georgia YOUNG HITT TOOLEY, her son JAKE LAMBERT, a deputy sheriff SETTING (The time is an April evening in the mountain home of Emmy Tooley, a hill girl of Georgia. The action takes place in her mountain cabin. There is a stone fireplace down stage at the left. Near the center of the room is a rough, uncovered, wooden table. The door is at the rear, center. There is a bench running along the upstage wall just fat the right of the door. A bucket and a tin dipper arc on the bench. There are some nails in the wall over the bench. and from these hang sun-bonnets, straw hats, men’s coats, aprons, etc. There is one old rocking-chair before the fireplace. Two rough chairs are placed at the table. One is on the upstage side, and the other is at the right hand corner of the room. There is an old cot. Over the cot, there is a shelf which supports a lamp and some dog-eared books and magazines. As the curtain rises, Emmy Tooley enters. She has a man’s old felt hat on her head, and a man’s old suit coat thrown over her shoulders. She is carrying a bucket of water. She is followed by Young Ditt Tooley, carrying a toad of wood. Young Ditt puts his wood down by the fireplace and Emmy sets her pail on the bench by the door. Then she takes a pan and a knife from the fireplace mantel, and gets some potatoes from a bucket standing at the up- stage end of the fireplace. She sits down in the rocking chair and begins to peel them. Meanwhile, Young Ditt has gone to the cot, taken a copy of ltThe Bloomfield Boys in a Submarine” from the shelf, and reclined on flu cot. After a minute or (wo, he raises himself to a sitting position.) Young Ditt: Shy, mom, -vvliat we goin’ to have fer breakfas’, some more bacon an7 taters? Emmy Tooley: I reckon so. Young Ditt: Aw, mom, I’m tired of bacon an’ taters! We had ’em fer th’ last six er eight days! THE BITTER ROOT — 125 — Em.my Tooley : Well, do yah see anythin else around hero thet. looks like vittles? Young Ditt (Glancing around) : Well, no, cain’t say I do. Emmy Tooley: We’ll be mighty lucky if they’s any vittles a-tall around here, come next week. Young Ditt: Aw say, mom, yah don’t think we’ll be thet bad off, do yah? Emmy Tooley: I reckon so, son, if somethin’don’t happen! But remem- ber what Parson Tutwiler down the gulch says, “The Lord will provide.” Young Ditt (Heightening) : I reckon yah mean Jake Lambert. Emmy Tooley (Sharply): Shet up! 1 don’t never want to see no Jake Lambert agin! All my life I never done nothin’ but work and slave like a nigger for a passel of men! I’m sick and tired of it! I wislit the good Lord had seen fit to give this poor child wings like the catbird out there in that there bush by the tool shed. Every mornin’ I hear ’im singin’ so happy and free! But I’ll never be free from work an’ toil an’ care! Young Ditt: Say, mom, what’s wrong? You ain’t never talked like thet before! Emmy (Despondently) : Oh nothin’, son, nothin’. I jest bin thinkin’. fliet’s all. Ever since them revenue officers shot Old Ditt, your pappy, 1 get to feelin’ like I jest couldn’t stand it! Sometimes I feel like I jest got to go some place, any place away from here. Young Ditt: You ain’t gonta take me with yah, are yah? Emmy: Hush up, son. Them’s jest some queer ideas I git. I bin giftin’ ’em right of’en of late. Young Ditt: Aw say. I ain’t goin’ to no town an’ maybe have to go to school! I’m goin’ to stay right here an’ raise ’talers an’ corn an’ make the best moonshine in flu gulch-, like pap done. I ain’t scared of no revenue men. Emmy: The Tooleys has made their own liquor fer as long as I know about, an’ they ain’t never been no Tooleys scared of ’em yet. Yes sir, son, if you git in a close spot with any of them skunks, remember what they done to Old Ditt. Young Ditt: You bet, mom. Emmy: Listen, son. You’re pretty nigh a man now, an’ it’s time you was lamin’ things. (Young Ditt straightens up proudly.) Your pappy’s (lyin’ words was, “Emmy, get thet dirty Jake Lambert ef it’s the last thing you do!” Young Ditt (Excitedly) : I remember thet night. 1 was peekin’ through the door ’cause everythin’ was strange an’ 1 couldn’t sleep nohow an’— Emmy (Tensely and with rising emotion) : Yes! Right there, I swore with hand on the Good Book an’ before the Almighty God I’d get Jake Lambert THE BITTER ROOT — 126 — so thet his dirty, Uneven’ soul can twist an burn below. As God is my Father, I ’ll get him ! (A loud knock is heard wit haul. E m m y motions to Young Ditt to be silent. Then she (joes to the door. Jake Lambert enters. He is big, swagger- ing, and arrogant. He carries a bag fitted with something.) Jake Lambert: Evenin’ Emmy. Emmy (Sneeringly ): Evenin’ Deputy Lambert. Jake Lambert: Aw, Emmy, jest because I had the extremely unpleasant job of carryin’ out my duty in thet little affair, three year back come next May- Emmy: You shore picked a skunk’s way of doin’ thet “extremely un- pleasant” job when you was “doin’ your duty”! (During all this conversation between Emmy and Jake, Young Ditt is sprawling on the cot, pretending to read; but in reality he is glaring at Jake IjAMBERT with all the hatred that he can muster.) Jake Lambert (Obviously trying to change the subject): 1 hrung yuh some meal, Emmy. (This makes it clear to Emmy that he intends to stay.) Emmy: Set. Jake Lambert: Much obliged. (He seats himself.) Perty good weather we bin havin’, ain’t it? Em m y : I erty good. Jake Lambert: Reckon the corn’ll be up a mite earlier this year. Emmy: I reckon so. Jake Lambert: Ain’t bin down to Ilumpreyville fer quite a spell, have you, Emmy! Emmy: Naw. Jake Lambert: Reckon you ain’t heard the news then? (At this Emmy shows decided signs of interest.) E m m y : W hat news ? Jake Lambert: Well, let’s see; Rufe Thompkins was bit by Higgins’s dawg las’ night. Didn’t seem to ’ffect Rufe none, but it shore had a powerful ’ffect on the dawg. Ilaw, haw, haw! (He laughs so hard that he rocks back and forth. Emmy seated at the end of the table merely gazes at: the floor.) Yes. sirree, sure had a powerful ’ffect on the dawg! Emmy: The sheriff bin doin’ anythin’ of late? Jake Lambert: Shootin’ pool down at Johnny Wellers’s Billiard Empor- ium is ’bout all. (Emmy seems relieved.) THE BITTER ROOT — 127 — ♦Jake Lambert: Sure. I always figgered a man was foolish t’ take more risks than is absolutely necessary. Emmy (Still sneering): I see you alius act accordin’! Jake Lambert: See here, Emmv, what I come down here fer was to ask you to marry me. I can— Emmy (In great anger): Marry you! Marry th’ person thet shot my ol’ man in the back! Marry th’ man I bin hatin’ ever since I can remember! So you got the gall t’ come ’round here askin’ me to marry you! ♦Take Lambert: See here, Emmy, you ain’t got no right to talk to me like thet! Look at all the meal an’ side meat— Emmy: Meal an’ side meat! Tryin’ t’ buy your way into Heaven with meal an’ side meat! So you think you can wipe the blood off of your conscience with meal and side meat! ♦Jake Lambert: Say, Emmy, I know what a hard time you been havin’ to git along here. I can take good care of you an’ the boy. 1 got my deputy sheriff’s salary an’ my place down th’ gulch— Emmy (Briefig): I’d rather starve! Jake Lambert: Say, you’re likely to if you stay here all the time. The soil on this place ain’t good enough to raise anythin’. Emmy: Noticin’ a lot. wasn’t you? Jake Lambert: Yes, sirree! They was a board kind of loose on the shed an’ so I looked in.( Emmy straightens up and a look of great anxiety crosses her face.) Smelled mighty peculiar, it did! Smelled more like workin’ moonshine than furniture. I wondered how you could be makin’ even as much as you do off this place. Yes, sir. I wondered how you could be makin’ a livin’ off of these rocks here on th’ side of the gulch! (Apparently regretful.) Well, as an officer of th’ laAv, I s’pose 1 ought to go out there an’ make a thorough investi- gation. Still, it you was to say you’d be my wife, I might fergit ’bout it, go down the gulch to Parson Tutwiler’s an’ git him to come up an’ marry us. Then I could go out an’ move the moonshine to a safer place, an’ if anybody was to see me foolin’ ’round your shed, it wouldn’t ’rouse their suspicions none. Of course, if you don’t feel like marryin' me, T guess I’ll have to do my duty, much as I hate to. Emmy (Dully): I reckon I’ll have to marry you. Per myself, I’d rather go to jail, but there’s Young Ditt. Wouldn’t nobody take him in, with his mother in jail. 1 reckon I ’ll have to marry yon. ♦Jake Lambert: That’s fine. I’ll go down an’ gel Parson Tutwiler. Twon’t take me but a few minutes. He come up to his place from town last night. Said he reckoned on stayin’ ’bout a week. I’ll send Young Ditt in. (Be exits.) THE BITTER ROOT — 130 — (Emmy rises, goes to the table, picks up the family bible and turns her eyes towards heaven.) Emmy: Oh, Lord, help this poor sinner in the hour of need! (She stands thus for a second; then replaces the bible on the fable. Although she cannot read, she knows the holiness of the bible and uses it as one might a crucifix. As she replaces the bible on the table, if recalls to her another scene in which it played an important part.) Emmy (Speaking in a low voice): ’Twas on this very bible that L swore to revenge poor Ditt. (Her voice becomes higher and fills with emotion.) An’ now it’s goin’ to marry me to the man thet. murdered him! (Here her voice sinks, but is filled with passion.) To the man thet murdered him—to the man thet murdered him! (She stands with bowed head.) I wonder what I)itt would think! I swore to revenge him; I will revenge him! (Here she sinks to a chair, places her elbows on the table, and buries her face in her hands. After re- maining thus for a moment, she apparently has an idea. She straightens up and directs her gaze on a long, old-fashioned rifle that is suspended over the fireplace by two wooden pegs. She rises, takes the rifle from its place, gets a cart ridge from a drawer in the table and, toads the rifle. Then she stands the rifle in the chimney corner. Young Ditt enters.) Young Ditt: Say, mom, ol’ Jake Lambert tol’ me to hurry up fixin’ the eow an’ come in the house. Said you wanted to see me. What’s goin’ on? Emmy: Son, I’m a-goin’ to marry Jake Lambert. Young Ditt: Thet ol’ skunk? Emmy: Oh, don’t worry, son; I wouldn’t a-done il if there was any way out! Young Ditt: I — I reckon not. Say, who took pap’s rifle down? Emmy: I did. Go an’ git your extry overalls an’ your shirt an’ wait right outside the door. Hurry up! Lambert an’ the parson’ll be gittin’ here right (prick now. Young Ditt: What we goin’ to do, mom 1 Emmy: Never you mind—jest do what I tol’ you. (Exit Young Ditt hurriedly.) Emmy: They’ll be here any minute now. (She crosses to the table, lakes the cartridge box which she has left there, and puts it in the table drawer. Site mores silently and swiftly. A sound of footsteps is heard outside. Jake Lam - uert enters alone.) Jake Lambert: The parson was in bed with a touch of rheumatism. Said he couldn’t come up till tomorrow morning. (Here he glances at Emmy. She is standing stilt with her hands at her side. She is gazing upwards.) Emmy (In a voire which shows that she is oblivious to her surroundings) : THE BITTER ROOT —131 — It used to bo all right whim Ditt was here. After he was killed (Hire Jake Lambert shudders) I began to git so lonesome. It was such hard work for me an’ the boy. Often we didn’t have enough to eat. An then I’d hear the cat- bird singin’ in thet bush like he was jes’ beggin’ me to come away—jes’ beggin’ me to come away. An’ now I’m coinin’—now I’m coinin’. (Here she comes partly out of her trance and sees -Jake Lambert standing there.) Yes, it was different till you shot my man. (As she speaks, her anger rapidly rises.) Shot him in the back, you did, you dirty coward! Trapped him up in Woods Gulch an’ then went ’round in back of him an’ shot him so’s it would look like he was tryin’ to git away. (Here Jake Lambert shows both fear and anxiety.) Jake Lambert (With a mixture of terror and hate): You sit down there. You ain’t a-goin’ no place, do you hear! An’ if you try it. I’ll set my dawgs on your trail! You keep your mouth shet ’bout what happened in Woods Gulch! (Emmy toughs scornfully and sneeringly. As she does so, she goes to the fire place corner and picks up the rifle. She points if at Jake Lambert.) Emmy: So thet’s your plan, Jake Lambert! (Her voice filling with pas- sion.) You’re goin’ to know jest what Ditt Toolev felt like with a bullet in his chest! Jake Lambert (Renaming): Emmy! Emmy! Don’t shoot! Emmy: It ain’t me; it’s the will of the Lord! The good Lord sent me a vision while T was stand in’ there! I seen the Dark Angel a-carryin’ you off! It’s the will of the Lord ! (Here she raises the rifle to her shoulder and shoots. Jake Lambert falls. She stands looking at him for a moment; then she puts the rifle back over the fireplace and goes out the floor.) CURTAIN THE BITTER —132 — R O O I The Lonely Valley There was once a valley lonely, Watched o’er by great snow-capped mountains, Seen by wandering Indians only As they hunted thru the forests. Life to them was one long pleasure, As had been for many decades, Till some white men, seeking treasure, Broke upon their quiet country. Followed then a great procession; White-topped wagons followed after, As the white man took possession, Crowding out the luckless redman. Quickly sprang up many cabins All along the pretty streamlets, Taking land of patient pagans Till they spread far from the rivers. Soon sprang up a mighty city, Called Missoula, from the mountains; Crowding out the Indians slowly Forcing them on reservations. Now the white men reign supremely Using up the great resources. Sad the fate of all the scenery Of that pretty, lonely valley. Ralph Giliiam, Jr., ’31. At Dusk The blood-red sun is swiftly sinking low; The dull grey sky bespeaks the fading light, And, as I muse at home in fire-light glow, Down slowly drops the blanket of the night. The snow its mystic softness round and round Weaves all about me something like a trance, And as it winds its starry pathway down Earth and its shadows vanish in the dance. Again I live in childhood’s castles fair, Built of such stuff as children’s dreams are made, Is this a symbol of my day-dreams rare? Tumbling and crumbling back to earth to fade?
