WILSON Physics MAIN OFFICE TROPHY ROOM SENIORS SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Back in the fall of 1931 the thought of graduating in ’35 seemed almost cen- turies away. But. here we are! So close to our goal that we can see it just ahead of us. Such a circumstance makes one sit down and think about all the things that have occurred during the eight semesters spent under the roof of Missoula High School. But when thinking back we re- member that as the greenest of freshmen our first thrill of high school was cut short by the great fire that demolished our high school-to-be. After a forced vacation we landed back in grade school. The classes had been managed so that we hadn't mingled with the older students at all. and when our sophomore year started we entered our own building with no more sense of what to do than the freshmen. As sophomores we were still rather young and it wasn't until our junior year that we united as a class and began to try out our wings. After choosing Fred Bedard as president. Marion Smith as vice-president. Ritchie Turner as secretary, and Mrs. Keeton as sponsor, we launched into a campaign to earn funds for the Junior Prom. Our first venture was the Barn Dance that has since become an annual junior affair. This was a social and financial success and showed the stuff the class of ’35 was made of. Our biggest profit, however, we made by sponsoring the moving picture. “Berkeley Square.” The funds for the Prom swelled encouragingly and were completed by the divi- dends from the “Bubble Ball.” This semi-formal had balloons galore and people with pins had great fun. Then the high spot of the year! One of the most colorful and artistic Junior Proms ever held was given in May. 1934. Thus our junior year was successfully drawn to a close and the final lap began in September. The first all-school affair, the annual Senior Mixer, started the year off right. Ritchie Turner, president: Dorothy Schaefer, vice-president: Tom Koch, secretary-treasurer: and Mr. Erickson, sponsor, composed the executive head of the class. Then came a campaign to see if the seniors would support a drive for an annual publication. THE BITTER ROOT. The staunch members of this class stood by the ship and the plans came through with fly- ing colors. In order to raise money for its production, the Senior Council, composed of Wilson Dobson. Sibel Taylor, Barbara Brinck. Norbert Donahue, Tom Hazelrigg. Donald Marshall. Fay Luhs, and Eugene Hall, arranged for a series of dime affairs. Eight old but famous films were shown in the auditorium for ten cents each. Matinee dances held in the lunchroom were popu- lar. too. The Senior Spring Formal was the main social event of the class and everyone enjoyed himself.

JUNIORS Frit Kennedy Watts Keeton JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY The juniors have made a great success of their first three years in Missoula High. This peppy class supported all school activities with great enthusiasm, holding up especially well their end of the social goings-on by giving dances, parties, and club programs and cooperating in the other class presentations. Organizing as sophomores with Miss Swearingen as sponsor and Charlotte Fritz. Guy Rogers. Marian Hawker and Mildred Robinson as officers, the class of ’36 started things going with a series of matinee dances. The high-light of that year was a Valentine assembly which showed the real talent the class pos- sessed. As jolly juniors they opened their year of activities by selecting Mrs. Keeton for sponsor. Charlotte Fritz, president; Valerie Kennedy, vice-president; and Gordon Watts, secretary. As the first number on their program, they gave the students the Barn Dance, a colorful hill-billy get together on October 19th. It was a success both financially and socially. Being an enterprising class they worked out a way to make money that was new to M. H. S. At two of the major football games during the fall, the rooters were kept warm by mustard smeared hot dogs for 10c. During November. Alexander Dumas' film produc- tion of “The Count of Monte Cristo was sponsored by the class of ’36 and the profits reaped ended their financial worries for the Junior Prom. So they settled down to give the school some high-class entertainment. On December 21st a Christmas party was enthusiastically attended by students seeking a good time. After two months of inactivity the juniors presented one of the prettiest dances of the year, the annual Bubble Ball. Silver and black balloons cleverly concealed the ceilings of the lunch room and first floor corridor, and paper hats added a festive touch to the occasion. After a busy year spent in raising funds and making preparations for the event, the date for the Junior Prom arrived. On May 24th the seniors were honored at one of the loveliest Proms in the annals of the school. Beautiful decorations and dreamy music provided a good time for all. The juniors have truly distinguished themselves in high school life both as a group and individually. They are well represented in each phase of sports and in all the clubs and societies. There is every indication that they will be one of the most outstanding senior classes that M. H. S. has ever boasted.

The class of T7 started the season by choosing Miss Swearingen as sponsor and electing officers: Blaine Normandcau, president; Victor Grace, vice-president; Eugene Hames, secretary. An executive committee composed of Marie Brown. Vianna Calloway. Norman Streit, Tom Woods. John Stewart. Carl Gulley. Bud Blanchette. Mary Mooney, and Hffiellen Jeffries represented the home rooms. The first sophomore party, a matinee dance in the lunch room February 15, was so well attended by the second year students that a series of them were planned and given in the spring months. Only sophomores were invited to these frolics, but they were enjoyed as much as all-school dances. With the proceeds from these entertainments the sophomores extended their courtesy to the freshmen by honoring them at an informal spring party. Enter tainment in the form of a program of songs and skits, followed by refreshments, constituted the first half of the party. The rest of the evening was spent in dancing, and the underclassmen departed after a thoroughly enjoyable time. The sophomores are well represented in our school’s sports, as Blaine Nor- mandeau and Victor Grace played on the football squad, taking active part in the major games of the season, and Waller Hensolt shows good prospects as a valuable squad man. Bud Miller. Luther Weikel and Kenneth Kizer have played in minor basketball games. Emory Plummer distinguished himself on the track squad, and promises to be even better material in his next two years. Thus the sophomores have made a flying start on their high school career. We,hope they have even more success in their junior and senior years! FRESHMEN Murphcy Slinc Pew Davie ■RESHMAN Cl.ASS HISTORY The freshmen started their activities as a class early by organizing in their first year, which has not been done in Missoula High School for several years. After selecting Miss Marion Davis as their class sponsor, they elected Dorothy Ann Murphey, president; Bill Stine, vice-president: and Charles Pew, secretary. Not yet into the social sway of affairs, the freshmen did not hold any parties ol their own but gave their support to other all-school functions. Many of their class members distinguished themselves by taking part in school activities. The boys turned out in large numbers for football, basketball, and track, and one of them, Cub” Potter, played on the football and basketball squads, earn- ing his ”M” in his first year, an unusual honor. The girls, too. responded, strengthening the G A. A-. reams and displaying great enthusiasm in assembly programs and Girls’ Club presentations. The freshmen have begun their four-year career with remarkable class spirit and determination. Congratulations to this peppy younger group and the fly- ing start they have made!

Dunstan, Wilbur NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The purpose of the National Hon- or Society is to provide recognition for those students who have distingu- ished themselves in scholarship, serv- ice, and character. These students arc in the upper third of their graduating class and only fifteen per cent of the seniors were chosen. At the annual Honor Society as- sembly in March, thirty-nine stu- dents were selected for membership, two being Juniors. Miss Edna Mann is the sponsor of this thirteenth chap- ter and Miss Frances Lines is the sec- retary. QUILL AND SCROLL Quill and Scroll is the interna- tional honorary society for high school journalists. To be eligible for the organization one must be su- perior in some phase of journalistic work and in the upper third of his class scholastically. At the first business meeting of the year, Jimmy Bcsancon was elected president; Marion Smith. Vice-presi- dent; and Tana Wilkinson, secretary. Mrs. M. A. Lund acted as sponsor during the absence of Miss Margaret Ronan. Phelps, Payne, Coombs. Marshall. Forbis. Taylor. Messer. Mcrtz. Smith. Bcsancon. Wilkinson. Shaw Turner. McCunc.

Bill Wil- cox was elected president and Marion Smith, secretary-treasurer. Among this year’s Thespian pro- ductions are “The Admirable Crich- ton,'’ “The Pirates of Penzance.” and two groups of one-acts. The casts and committees of “The Ad- mirable Crichton.” and “The Pirates of Penzance” were honored at a dance following the presentation of the lat- ter operetta. The Stage Screws is an organiza- tion of boys who assist school clubs and societies in staging their assembly programs and plays. As they always work behind the curtains they go un- noticed by the majority of the stu- dents, but are really more indispens- able than many other better-known groups. T here are no officers in the Stage Screws, as it is not organized as a club. The boys work on their own initiative under a stage manager and the dramatics instructor. Miss Harris. McCune. Turner.

Under the able supervision of Miss Gladys Price they lent a beautiful touch to the Christmas cantata. Their versa- tility was shown by the professional ease with which they interpreted our national anthems at the Armistice Day assembly and by the perform- ance at the February concert. The spring operetta, “The Pirates of Pen- zance,” as well as the Baccalaureate and Commencement services, were greatly enhanced by the support given by the orchestra. The year's officers were: Conrad Priess, president; Barbara Mahrt, sec- retary-treasurer; Charles Hulse, ac- companist. STRING QUARTET The string quartet consists of four violinists, selected from the orchestra, who practice every Friday under the direction of Miss Gladys Price, music instructor. The quartet has worked mainly in conjunction with the or- chestra, and has therefore been fea- tured in nearly all its programs. Be- sides this they played “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “The First Noel” in the Christmas cantata, and pre- sented selections in the spring con- cert. The members of the quartet are Conrad Priess, Bob Parker, Audrey Darrow, and Walter King. MIXED CHORUS The mixed chorus elected Bill Ken- nedy for its president and Alice High- tower as its social secretary. Janet Stiff has been accompanist. Presenting the beautiful 'I Hear America Singing.’’ the chorus pro- vided the grand finale to the Armis- tice Day assembly, and was received most enthusiastically by the audience. T hey also added greatly to The Adoration.’’ the Christmas cantata. Members of the mixed chorus were cast as characters in The Pirates of Penzance, supporting the musical atmosphere of the production. They also were featured in the Music Week concert and Baccalaureate and Com- mencement exercises. MIXED. QUARTET Composed of Josephine Bugli. so- prano; Dorothy Truxler, alto; Eu- gene Phelan, tenor: and Earl Dahl- strom, bass, the mixed quartet is se- lected from the glee clubs and mixed chorus. Although it has not been very active this year, appearing in only a few assemblies, the group is very well-balanced musically. The harmony of the mixed quar- tet added greatly to the beauty of the Commencement and Baccalau- reate exercises. They appeared also in the spring concert held in com- memoration of music week. GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club had for offi- cers this year: Dorothy Schaefer, president and accompanist: Dorothy Truxler, secretary-treasurer: and Ruth Wilbur, social secretary. Opening its year of activity by assisting in the Armistice Day cantata, “ I Hear Am- erica Singing,” the group then added greatly to the Christmas assembly and to the evening concert held February sixth. The girls excelled especially as characters in The Pirates of Pen- zance,” given March twenty-ninth, providing the musical atmosphere to the operetta. They ended a year of successful performances by participat- ing in the Music Week Concert, and at the Commencement and Baccalau- reate exercises. GIRLS' OCTET Consisting of special voices from the Girls’ Glee Club, the octet is com- posed of first sopranos. Margaret Hayes and Helen Faulkner; second sopranos, Ruth Eastman, Alyce Grif- fin, and Charlotte Fritz; and altos, Ruth Wilbur, Marie Brown, and Sue Jewett. The girls sang “List! The Cheru- bic Host” at the Christmas program and presented in commemoration of Lincoln's birthday “To Thee O Country” at the assembly given in honor of the day. Besides these per- formances the octet took part in the Music Week Concert and the Bacca- laureate services. HOYS' GLEE CLUB Besides forming an excellent sup porting cast in the spring operetta The Pirates of Penzance,” the Boys' Glee Club has been featured in nu- merous musical programs this year. They sang part of the cantatas in the Christmas and Armistice Day assem- blies and were included in the evening concert of February sixth. They also took an active part in the Mothers’ Day Assembly. Music Week Concert, and Commencement and Baccalau- reate services. For this year’s officers the Boys' Glee Club elected Arsenio de la Pena, president; Tom Hazelrigg. vice-presi- dent; Eugene Hall, secretary-treasurer, and Eugene Phelan, social secretary. Dorothy Truxlcr is accompanist. MALE QUARTET The male quartet is composed of Eugene Phelan, first tenor; Arsenio de la Pena, second tenor; Watson Dutton, baritone; and Earl Dahl- strom. bass. These boys have been perhaps the most active of the school’s musical groups this year, becoming a favorite feature in all the major as- semblies. and appearing in out-of- school programs as well. In many of their performances the quartet presented refreshingly original song skits in some cases even mas- querading to fit their parts. Their well-blended voices brought encores on every occasion, humorous or seri- ous. Among their out-of-school ap- pearances were at the President’s Ball. Masonic programs, G. A. R., Rotary Club, and several radio presentations. THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON” CAST OF CHARACTERS Crichton _ _ Bill Wilcox Hon. Ernest Wooley.

This was the subtle point that forms the peg on which was hung the theme of “The Admirable CrichtonT major dramatic production of the school year. The clever four act satire on the English social system, by Sir James Barrie, was presented November twenty-third. The question of human equalities is answered in the play when Lord Loam’s yachting party, composed entirely of British peers, except for Crichton, the per- fect butler, and Tweeny, a maid, was shipwrecked on a desert island. Thus, given an opportunity-to start on equal terms, Crichton, in two year’s time, be- came a veritable king, proving him the natural leader of the group. By this was his contention borne out: that customs which set one man above another in England were artificial and that the natural leader comes to the front in an even contest. These customs were very powerful, however, as was shown in the fourth act after the party was rescued, for Crichton was again butler, and the Earl of Loam. lord. The romantic element of the play was introduced by a love affair between Crichton and Lord Loam’s eldest daughter, Mary, which was terminated by the rescuing of the castaways. Bill Wilcox, carrying the lead as Crichton, portrayed the character with pro- fessional ease. Thoroughly the butler in the first and fourth acts, he changed completely into an overlord in the second and third. Beth Clinger played Lady Mary Lassenby. Haughty and proud in the first, second and fourth acts, she became very charming in the third, carrying well the emotional climax of that act. Alma Rae Holloway enacted Tweeny, the kitchen maid. Twisting her apron, speaking bad grammar, she pleased the audience immensely, providing laughs as well as a little pathos. Lord Loam, in the person of Anthony Mc- Cune, was an English peer who. in an effort to prove his radical beliefs on equality, gave a tea every month for his servants. After the experience of being marooned on an island, played in an appropriate doddering manner, he modified his views. Tom Koch, portraying a young minister, Treherne, was excellent, as usual. Treherne came to life as a rather likeable, enthusiastic friend of Lord Loam’s party. Lord Brocklehurst, effeminate fiancee to Lady Mary, was enacted accurately by Jon Weisel. Gladys Luedke became his autocratic mother, the Countess of Brocklehurst, with ease. T he languorous roles of Ladies Catherine and Agatha were well played by Loyola McDonald and Valerie Kennedy. The other players in minor positions portrayed character parts excellently.

And when Frederic, handsomely portrayed by Eugene Phelan, tenor, reached his twenty-first year, fell in love, and resolved to destroy the buccaneers, excitement ran high in the rollicking Gilbert and Sullivan operetta presented in the auditorium March 29 and 30. But complications arose in Frederic’s path when he discovered that since he was born on the twenty-ninth of February, and had consequently seen only five birthdays, he was still duty-bound to the pirate horde. Forced to choose be- tween his love for the Major-General’s youngest daughter and his sense of duty, he sacrificed the former and joined once again his swarthy companions in their battle against the doughty police force. Peace was affected, however, and Fred- eric was at last free to seek his sweetheart. The roles of Richard, the iron-willed Pirate King, and Samuel, his hawk- like lieutenant, were played and sung realistically to every swaggering detail by Earl Dahlstrom. bass, and Elmer Barrett, baritone, while Leland Buker as the blistering sergeant of police brought down the house with laughter. Watson Dutton, baritone, gave one of the outstanding performances in the production, acting sensationally the comical part of Major-General Stanley, the grumpy old officer who had “information vegetable, animal, and mineral” on every subject. The female side of the cast was equally well characterized. Mabel, General Stanley’s youngest daughter, who was in love with Frederic, was beautifully sung by Margaret Hayes, soprano. The difficult vocal part of Ruth, the pirate maid, was carried with ease by Josephine Bugli. mezzo-soprano, and lovely solos by Ruth Eastman as Kate, and Helen Faulkner as Edith added greatly to the effect of the operetta. An outstanding feature of the performance was the excellent support given the cast by the choruses, who not only looked and acted their parts in the plot, but sang the many musical numbers with amazing alacrity. The orchestra which accompanied the singers blended perfectly at all times. The excellent music, fine acting, and skillful grouping shown in the operetta reflect greatly to the credit of Miss Gladys Price, Musical Director; Miss Mary V. Harris. Dramatics Director, and Miss Marion Davis. Dancing Director. The technical and business staffs and costume and property committees also deserve much praise for their invaluable aid in staging the production. out tide rRESHMi� � THU I� A 5E � o rvoo i 1a =£% 5—i 1 7 Ufa £ BtfBSr 6—i C5? 13—i wsL ] 16—] i .

They defeated Helena, 2 1 to 19, in the most thrilling game ever played on Dornblaser Field to give them the right to play Billings for the state championship. The Purple’s vaunted aerial attack was unable to click but three times against the Broncs Thanksgiving Day at Butte and, as a result, they scored two touchdowns. The Broncs ran up a 21 to 0 lead by the end of the third quar- Coach Sam Bruce Kain ter, while Missoula was able to get only 14 points. Rogers, all- state halfback, was injured in the second quarter and played only a few minutes during the rest of the game. Normandeau plunged through the center of the Billings line for both scores after passes by Rogers and Potter had placed the ball within the ten-yard line. The final score was Missoula 14, Billings 28. Both of the squads were awarded team and indi- Manager Mace and Perry vidual trophies at a ban- quet in their honor at the New Finlen Hotel on the evening of November 29. Members of the Missoula squad received silver foot- balls while the Broncs were given gold football watch fobs. Coach Sam Kain and Coach Clyde Carpenter of Billings were among the speakers at the dinner. When the team returned from Butte they were met at the depot by a large group of rooters and the Drum and Bugle Corps. REVIEW OF TIIE SEASON Top to Bottom: Campbell, Normandeau, Koch Left to Right. Robinson. Barrett, Murphcy. Flint. Oeder Coach Sam Kain was not very encouraged as he looked over his pros- pects for the 1934 season. There were eight lettermen missing from the Western District champions of '33, among them Leo Lundy, all-state half- back. and George Cote, line-smashing fullback. Three other promising players were declared ineligible. Fourteen of his ‘34 squad had been under his tutelage the year before, but only five of them had been regulars. On September 2 he started in- tensive drill. The Alumni were defeated. 13 to 0, in the first test of the Missoula gridders. Most of the 1933 grads, with a few older players were on the Alumni team. Missoula 66, Poison 0 ‘Much improvement was shown, said Coach Kain after the Purpies had snowed Poison under an avalanche of touchdowns. The game was played September 1 5 on the new athletic field. Greg Rice and Guy Rogers both turned in good performances. Missoula 6, Great Falls 0 - Potter Grace The first of a long line of jinxes was broken when the Bisons were defeated on an icy gridiron September 21 at Great Falls. On the third play of the fray Rogers passed 13 yards to Potter, who continued on toward the goal for the only score of the game. Sixty-eight yards were covered on this long jaunt. Normandeau was the outstanding Purples’ back field man in this hard- fought contest. Great Falls had won. 19 to 6, the year before. 'i I Missoula 56, Hamilton 0 The Purple and Gold passing attack was the feature of the Hamilton contest September 29, as they rolled up 206 yards by the aerial route. Missoula made 323 yards from rushing, compared to the Valley team’s 24. Coach Kain used all of his 25 players. Rogers counted four touchdowns, Searles three. Rice and Grace, one each. The Purples presented a versatile offense which clicked on almost every play. Missoula 25, Whitefish 6 Coach Hindcrman’s team was the first to score on Missoula in five games and they held the Purples scoreless for three quarters October 6 at the dedication game of Victory Field. Toward the end of the third period they snapped out of their lethargy and rolled up four touchdowns, with passes leading to all the scores. Coach Kain said that “too much over- confidence almost caused my boys to lose. Missoula 19, Butte Public 12 Another jinx of long standing was cracked as the Mining City team was defeated on Dornblascr Field October 13. Butte scored one touch- down on one of the queerest plays ever seen in Western Montana and counted their second one against the Purples second string. The most out- standing feature of this fray was the way Missoula continually out-played Rogers Thompson Butte in every department of the game. They out-rushed Butte, 265 yards to 59, and made 14 first downs to eight for Butte. Butte, however, made more yardage from passes than did the Purple and Gold eleven. Searles, Nybo, Zadra, Rogers and Rice were consistent stars for the Missoula offensive and defen- sive play. Top to Bottom: Searles, Rice, Nybo Left to Right: Zadra, Lawrence, Figg, Struble, Price First Touchdown Against Billings Missoula 26, Kalispell 0 Guy Rogers turned in a splendid performance of broken-field running as lie dashed 91 yards around the Braves’ left end for a touchdown which began the rout of Kalispell on their home field October 20. Regers chalked up 226 of Missoula’s 243 yard total gained from scrimmage. Defensive play of the Purple's forward was strong, permitting Flathead to gain only 42 yards by rushing. Coach Kain announced that, “my boys did some fine work. after they returned to Missoula. Missoula 14, Anaconda 6 The Anaconda Copperheads, playing on their home field, October 27, were as stubborn a foe to defeat that Missoula had found so far in a hard season. They outplayed the Purples for the entire first half and had a six-point lead as the third quarter began. Beal, Anaconda fullback, averaged 46 yards per punt to outdistance Potter and Rogers of Missoula. Stan Nybo received a short pass from Rogers for the first touchdown. Nybo intercepted an Anaconda forward in the fourth quarter and Rogers crashed his way over center to make the final score 14 to 6. Passes to Searles and Nybo counted each of the points after touchdown. Missoula 26, Cub Reserves 6 Spectacular pass plays and strong interference, coupled with sturdy defen- sive work, were too much for the University Cub reserves to handle, and they The Broncs Go Into Action Rogers Tosses a Long One were defeated. 26 to 6. on Victory Field November 9. Forward-laterals gained consistently for the Purples, and their wide end sweeps picked up yardage. Coach Sam Kain used his substitutes as much as possible in order to save his regulars for the clash with Helena Missoula 21, Helena 19 November 17 on Dornblaser Field was the stage for the fastest, most pol- ished gridiron show by two high school teams ever seen in Western Montana, as the Crimson Bengals were nosed out in the last two minutes of a thrill packed contest by three sensational passes. Rogers took Strong s kickoff on the 7-yard stripe and returned it to the 27, then passed to Scarles for a 48-yard gain. Rogers stepped back in pass formation and flipped a bullet pass to Greg Rice over the goal line for Missoula’s third score. Larry Potter, freshman ace. place- kicked all three of Missoula’s points after touchdown. Missoula scored early in the first quarter when Rice started on a wide end sweep, cut back and raced 36 yards to the goal line behind perfect interference. Rogers went over the pay-line from the three-yard stripe after three forward passes and one lateral had placed the ball within scoring distance. Strong, the Bengal’s all-state halfback, used his elusive, side-stepping change of pace to score two of Helena’s three touchdowns, and Fryett counted the other. Kelly was the most brilliant player in the Helena line, making crunching tackles all over the field, while Zadra. Figg. Nybo, Oeder and Robinson deserved a large share Line Crash In The Cub Game The 1934 Football Squad of the praise for their staunch work in the Purple and Gold forward wall. Rogers and Rice, aided by Normandeau and Potter, were the most effective men in the Missoula backfield. Two weeks of light workouts on blocking and tackling, with hours spent cn perfecting the execution of plays occupied Coach Rain's squad in preparation for the Billings game. A snowswept grid ruined Missoula's chances at Butte, as the wet, slippery ball continually oozed through their fingers. Looking toward the 1935 season, we find that Missoula will be well forti- field in the line, with Searles at end, I igg and Robinson, tackles; Childlcy and Perry, ends; Ackerlund. tackle or guard, and Kimball, center, returning for an- other year of competition. A heavy, fast backfield, composed of Rogers. Blaine Normandeau. Vic Grace and Larry Potter will carry the brunt of the Purples’ offense. The fundamentals of the gridiron sport were carefully learned in spring practice in '35. where all phases of the game are thoroughly practiced in prepara- tion for the next fall’s campaign. Coach Rain emphasizes blocking, which makes the “perfect” plays possible, and tackling, which prevents the other team from scoring. Much credit is given Managers Ray Perry and Walter Mace for their fine work in caring for the football equipment and other minor details which help build a football team. Perry coached the freshmen in 1934. from which there will be many boys to fill the places of the graduating veterans of the finest team in the history of Missoula County High School.

The 1934 quint set a record in the number of Big 14 conference victories, taking the scalps of Miles City, later the state champions. Anaconda, Butte Public. Helena, and Kalispcll. At the Northern zone play-off the Purple and Gold five “clowned” in all its games, defeating Havre. 36 to 1 1 ; Helena, 31 to 2 1 ; and Lewistown, 38 to 24, in the consolation contest for third place. In the semi-final fray against Glas- gow the Purples lost two valuable players on personal fouls in the latter part of the third quarter and the Higblinc team forged ahead to win. 34 to 23. Prospects for the team next season include Searles, Russell, B. Perry. L. Pot- ter. C. Potter. G. Croonenbcrghs. Ki .er. Weikel. and Miller. Guy Rogers, all state forward in the 1934 state finals, will be available for competition after a year’s recuperation from a severe injury sustained in the state gridiron title game at Butte Thanksgiving Day, 1934.

At that time only two point winners from the 1934 state championship squad were reporting for practice. Greg Rice, victor in the mile and half-mile runs, and Ed Russell, who tied for first in the pole vault last May. being the only reliable money-makers for the 1935 contests. A Purple and Gold team never before has repeated its performances for two consecutive years, but the jinx is expected to be broken. | Missoula won the five year cup in 1934. with Butte placing second. Every five years a cup is awarded to the school making the largest number of points in those years. As a result of Butte's wide margin of victory in the '33 meet, they were ahead of Missoula until the finish of the 1934 competition. A. Crooncnberghs. weights Rice, mile and half-mile Russell probably will collect points in the pole vault, and is a contender in the high jump and low hurdles. Greg Rice will undoubtedly make ten points in the distance runs, and also fill in on the relay team, which does not add to the point total. Ralph Figg, 185-pound football player, has a good chance to break the state record in the discus throw, having made around 120 feet in prac- tice. and is improving rapidly. Figg might get a few points in either the shot put or javelin, but is not particularly Russell, pole vault strong in these events. Bobby Price, another football star, is the “speed demon” of the squad, hitting a fast 440-yard dash and will probably be entered in the 100 and 220-yard sprints. He is being pushed by Burton Perry in the “440.” Plummer and Peterson are other distance runners who with a little experience place in the mile or the 880.” Herb Searles is the best high hurdler, and also runs the 220-yard low hurdle race. Jacobsen, Nybo. and Wold are more inexperienced prospects for the low hurdles. Sprint Take off Charles Jacobsen leads the broad jumpers, but has not hopped over 19 feet in practice. Twenty-one feet three inches took first place in the broad jump last year, Leo Lundy of Missoula winning this event. George Croonenberghs. a tall, slim lad. has developed the best high jumping form so far. A1 Croonen- bergs. six feet four inches of basketball center, might be able to help Figg in the weights, throwing the shot and discus with much ease. Butte Public is practically conceded second place if Missoula wins, but Great Falls is regarded as the “dark horse of the meet. The Mining City squad will include a miler who trailed Rice by 50 yards in his record breaking mile last May. Soltero of Fergus is one of the fastest sprinters to return to competition. The field events have no outstanding weight men or jumpers this year, so that field will be wide open for points. Three state records were broken as Leo Lundy topped the low hurdles in 25 seconds flat, Campbell of Park County flipped the javelin 194 feet six and cne-half inches. Erwin of Miles City ripped cfT a 2 minutes and 5 and nine-tenths half mile run. Lundy also won the high hurdles and broad jump, placed fifth in the 100 for a total of 15 La points, getting high individual honors of the meet. He graduated from M. H. S. last spring. High hurdle G. Croontnbcrglu. pule vault l!igg. weight The high jump, won by Decker of Whitefish. halted at 5' II . Wills of Park County put the shot 48 feet 4 inches to take first place. He will not be eligible to compete here in May. The discus throw was won with a heave of 1 20 feet 1 1 inches. The record is 128 feet. Butte Public usually has two or three strong men for the weights, as does Park County and other large high schools of the state. BITTER ROOT BEAUTY CONTEST WINNERS An all-school beauty contest was conducted by this year’s staff to provide an added fea- ture of interest in the 1935 Bitter Root. Each home room nominated its two most attractive candidates, and from this group of seventy- two nominees twelve were chosen for the final competition. On March 16 the three first winners were selected, their identities being secret, however, until the date of publication. The remaining nine finalists were not judged, but were awarded equal places on the Honor- able Mention page.
