Text from Pages 1 - 125 of the 1937 volume:

A land of streams! some, like a down- ward smoke, Slow-dropping veils of thinnest lawn did go. Under the snow drifts the blossoms are sleeping, Dreaming their dreams of sunshine and June. Foreword Through the pages of its log, the staff of the Bitter Root presents a bird's-eye view of the M. H. S. terminal and its ships. s Contents AIRPORT TAKE-OFF GAINING ALTITUDE CRUISING LANDING TAIL-SPINS Dedication To the students of Missoula County High School whose support has been invaluable we gladly dedicate this first all-school Bitter Root. AIKHMtT PRINCIPAL G. A. KETCHAM On Monday, September 8, registrations were made, and tickets were is- sued for passage on the four transcontinental cruisers. The M. H. S. airdrome was the scene of renewed activity as huge crowds swarmed to and fro. Be- ginning his twenty-fifth year of faithful service. Principal G. A. Ketcham, presi- dent of the line and representing the Executive Board, personally directed plans to make the ships ready for their annual flight. The members of the Executive Board are: Mrs. Margaret Hayes, Dr. R. H. Nelson, Mr. C. H. Pew, Mr. John Schroeder, Mr. E. R. Anderson, Mr. R. W. Kemp, and Mr. Roscoe Haines. Reports made by Miss Helen Robson, office head, stated that the num- ber of this year's passengers established a new precedent. Miss Neva Cope- land, Head Stewardess, and Miss Kathryn Geiger, Librarian, efficiently re- organized their respective departments for another year's work. Two new departments, the art and the home economics divisions, have been added to the port. Mr. Emmett Anderson, Mr. N. I. Baker, Mr. E. J. Buzzetti, Mr. Edward Chinske, Miss Marjorie Foote, Miss Alma Johnson, and Miss Irma Monroe are new here this year. MISS HELEN ROBSON MISS NEVA COPELAND MISS KATHRYN GEIGER Dahlstrom Nelson Beaman P.

Boileau, the staff has prepared this book as a lasting tribute to the old home port. This year's Bitter Root has the distinction of being the first all-school publication. Two juniors were added to the staff; and upon proving his ability, the more capable will head next year's staff. Garvin Shallenberger and Robert Howard were chosen from the junior class for this unusual honor. As an entirely extra-curricular activity, the staff has striven to present the year's activities in words and pictures. Many long hours of hard, but fas- cinating, work were spent in the annual office on the third floor.

The initiation of its members saw many shorn heads—with a variety of coiffures not to be outdone by the most advanced tribes of other continents. The initiates bowed to the inevitable and took up their tools to attack the problems of good flying. Though no one passed the pilot's test this year, they scored ahead of the veteran fourth-year fliers. Seven members—Virginia Baird, Ennola Campbell, Camilla Salisbury, Lillian Krulatz, Patricia McMacken, Anna Dell Van Holt, and Helen Hayden qualified for the high honor roll the first semester. In order to qualify for foreign travel, these beginners delved into the study of languages; and as a result, those inclined toward French organized a new club, known as the Hendevous Club, the purpose of which is to become better acquainted with the customs, traditions, as well as the language of the French people. This group also has contributed several parties to the social calendar. As a reward of high averages, several studying Spanish were invited to join El Club Espanol. These outstanding freshmen are Betty Daly, Helen Hayden, Howard Johns, Betty Kinnick, Betty Litzinger, Patricia McMacken, Walter Orvis, James Root, Helen Tom, and Margaret Lloyd. Several other clubs have been helped by having in their ranks some of these ambitious novices. During its first year of existence, the Camera Club, fostering amateur photography as a hobby, has interested students from every class. The mem- bers are learning improved methods of picture-taking, and acquiring a knowl- edge of printing and developing. GIRL RESERVES Dimmick Wilkinson M.

Four years ago the local Campfire Girls was reorganized; and, since it has carried on an active program. An all-school mid-winter formal and a progressive dinner for its own members were two of its outstanding social events. BEST SNAPSHOTS A feature of the snapshot campaign was the contest for best snaps. The two on this page were chosen the best of all snaps turned in. The lower picture which was awarded first place was taken by Charles Wellington. The second place winner, a snap of our band on parade, was taken by Mr. Emmett Anderson. F GAINING ALTITUDE President—Douglas Campbell Vice-president—Dorothy Mulroney Secretary-treasurer—Peggy LaForge Sponsor—Miss Hazel Swearingen In preparation for the long hours in the air, the sophomores are gaining increased knowledge about the airport and are beginning to find the phases of the work in which they are most interested. Not taking their ship into the air until the second semester, they quickly made up for the delay by electing a pilot and co-pilots and forming a crew consisting of a representative from each home room. This body engineered an evening of dancing and entertainment for the class on March 5. El Club Espanol especially honored Eva Johns, Ruby Plummer, Elizabeth Sheedy, Gordon Wharton, and Walter Root by inviting them to join, these people having done outstanding work in Spanish. Four girls—Kathleen Gardner, Judith Pope, Audrey Rehmer, and Lucille Williams are soaring high having made all A's during the year. Showing up well in ground maneuvers against senior home room 117, Miss Ammer's sophomore room, 313, placed second in the inter-mural basket- ball tournament. Of special interest to the sophomore are the clubs Future Farmers of America, Radio Club, Art Club, and the Home Economics Club. The Radio Club, founded in 1921 for the sole purpose of furthering the interest of radio among its enthusiasts has two necessary qualifications for membership: that prospective members be essentially interested in the field of radio, and that they will promote the club in activities around school.

The Home Economics Club, under Miss Marjorie Foote has proven to be one of the most active groups of the port. Among its successful ventures have been selling hot dishes during the lunch hour and publishing a monthly bull- etin. Meetings are held twice a month alternating business and social sessions. To develop qualities of thrift, cooperation, and leadership, which a future farmer should possess, the F. F. A. welcomes all boys interested in agriculture. Its purpose, as expressed in its creed, is to make farming challenging, pleas- ant as well as profitable, and true to the best traditions of our national life. 0 . • CINPISINO President—Dorothy Ann Murphey Vice-president—Jack Wilkinson Secretary-treasurer—Maribeth Kitt Sponsor Miss Florence Keeton Adams Ailport Albert Ambrose Anderson Ashby Baird Balias Barnwell C.

Thirty-seven LE CERCLE FRANCAIS To promote interest in French customs and to encourage use of the French language are the purposes of the Cercle Francais. To become a memt|er, the aspirant must be a junior or senior and must be enrolled in French. This year's activities began with the initiation of new members which brought the total membership of the club to thirty-seven. Business meetings are held twice a month. During the Christmas season, the French and the Spanish clubs held a joint Christmas party. Usually a picnic is held for the two clubs in the late spring. Club programs often include musical numbers, talks, and games. Many interesting and informative talks were given this year by Yvette La- Grand, a girl who has lived in France.

EL CLUB ESPANOL El Club Espanol was first founded in 1919. For several years the club was inactive. In 1927 the club was reorganized and has been active since that time. The purpose of the club is to promote and stimulate interest in the Spanish language. The club meets twice a month alternating business and social sessions. All regular meetings are conducted in Spanish. At each business session the chairman of the program committee asks for volunteers to assist in plan- ning the program for the following social meeting. In this way many varied and interesting programs are presented; and every member of the club has the opportunity to take part in the group's activities. Under the present constitution all second year Spanish students are eli- gible for membership in the club. Underclassmen and juniors doing outstand- ing work may enter at the end of the first quarter and at the semester. In January the following students were initiated into the club: Dean Vinal, Helen Dimmick, Paul Holmes, Helen Hayden, Eva Jones, Howard Johns, Walter Orvis, Betty Daly, Betty Kinnick, Margaret Lloyd, Patricia McMacken, Ruby Plummer, Elizabeth Sheedy, and Velma Mackey. On December twenty-first the Spanish and the French clubs held their annual Christmas party. In April the club observed Pan-American Day. The program consisted of talks and flag rituals. The annual picnic in May marked the end of the year's activities for- El Club Espanol. President.......... V ice-president.... Secretary.......... Treasurer.......... Program Chairman.

Boileau RECEIVING ANTENNAE As juniors, students have their first opportunity to take part in the journal- istic field. Early in September the first semester journalism class under Miss lone Lake undertook its task of putting out a bi-weekly account of the current school activities known to all Missoula as The Konah. Every other Friday at the end of the third period, members on the staff were stationed at different parts of the building to distribute the paper. In the second issue of the year, the staff introduced a new headline arrangement known as the no count head- line, featuring headlines with no indentation. Because of its enthusiastic reception, this innovation has since become a feature. Another change was soon introduced which gave the editorial page only four columns instead of six and which changed the humor columns to Konah's Kryptic Kracks and Kamera Eye, instead of Konah Kidding Kolumn and Round and About. A special honor was conferred on the members of the staff when the Konah was selected as a first place winner in the Columbia Scholastic Association. This is an unusual distinction and the first time that our paper has been so regarded.

The editorial page was again changed with the Konah's Kinetoscope used as the head of the humor column. The word Konah was inserted in each end line dash. The second page again consisted of six columns instead of the former four. Personality sketches were continued in the second semester giv- ing accounts of the more distinguished students in school. The mast head was made smaller allowing more room for news. Showing unusual ability for hard work the exceptionally small class succeeded in putting out a com- plete record each Konah day. The fascinating fields of dramatics and music offer unusual interest to third-year students. Warren Hughes Kiser Cameron Warren Kenneth Kizer (ustine Hughes .

Harris, the first major production of the year, Death Takes a Holiday, a super-natural comedy by Alberto Cas- ella, was presented on November 6, 1936, in the auditorium. The play opens in the Great Hall in Duke Lambert's Castle in Italy. The Duke and Duchess are week-end hosts to a number of intimate friends. Death decides to take an excursion of three days in an attempt to dis- cover why men are reluctant to leave this world. During Death's stay upon earth no living thing will die. For example, the eighty-year-old Baron Caesa- rea, a guest of the party, gains renewed vigor and becomes a light-hearted, young trooper again. The Shadow assumes the form of Prince Sirki, one of the expected guests who was taken by death. He finds life an exciting ad- venture and makes love in turn to Alda, a slender, beautiful widow whose manner suggests a restrained restlessness and hunger; Rhoda, a handsome straight-forward English girl; and finally to Grazia, a wisp of loveliness who I shall take three days only. . . Nothing will decay . . . nothing crumble. There will be only life, and growth.” Then there is a love which casts out fear . . . and lovo is greater than illusion and as stronq as death. seeks something that this life does not hold. Neither Alda nor Rhoda are able to confirm Death's belief that perfect love casteth out fear. Only spir- itual Grazia seems to understand. Corrado, son of the Duke and Duchess, is deeply in love with Grazia and feels her growing remoteness. The Prince has told only the Duke of his real identity and his purpose in being here. He makes the Duke promise not to reveal his secret; and in return, Death has promised that no harm shall come to any member of the party if he is allowed to carry out his venture. Major Whitread of the Foreign Legion, who has faced Death many times on the battle field, is the only one, other than Grazia, who has the slightest conception of the peace and utter contentment that Death brings. By the end of Death's holiday, he has discovered why men are so afraid of him. Fear of leaving their loved ones makes them cling to their lives. He suffers intense agony at the thought of giving up his new happiness. He tells Grazia that he must return to his distant kingdom and that he cannot take her with him. When it is discovered that it is Grazia whom Sirki loves, the Duke is forced to reveal the identity of the prince in order to prevent Corrado from harming their eccentric guest. In the last act .the Princess, Grazia's mother, pleads for the life of her daughter; while the Duke and the Duchess distressed at their son's unhappi- ness, beg Death to leave, Grazia with those who love her. The Duke reminds Death of his promise not to harm any of his guests. Death, who has always thought of himself as sleep and the release of dreams, sees no harm in tak- ing Grazia; but since he is still a mortal, he has to learn to believe as such. He decides to allow Grazia to choose whom she prefers. Grazia, coming in from the garden, smiles at Death and announces that she is ready to go. Even seeing Death as he really is only makes him more beautiful to her. Death triumphantly discovers that there is a love which casts out fear, that love is greater than illusion, and as strong as death.” Forty-three 7'THE GONDOLIERS CAST The Duke of Plaza-Toro...................Tom Strong Luiz..................................Claude Potter Don Alhambra Del Bolero................Bill Horning Marco Palmieri.

He is here in Venice, plying the modest but picturesque calling of a gondolier, beyond any doubt whatever. It's all very well to say wo act as on© person, but when you supply us with only one ration between us ... Lilting melodies, sparkling comedy, and gay dancing delighted appreci- ative audiences on the evenings of April 2 and 3 in our auditorium when the Thespians presented Gilbert and Sullivan's The Gondoliers. This produc- tion was under the direction of Miss Mary V. Harris, dramatics; Miss Irma Monroe, dancing; and Mr. Emmett Anderson, music. The play concerns the heir to the throne of Barataria who was abducted in infancy by the Inquisition. Upon hearing that the young man is living in Venice, the Duke of Plaza-Toro with his pompous Duchess and beautiful daughter Casilda come to that city. Casilda who was wed to the heir when they were babies is deeply in love with the Duke's drummer-boy, Luiz. The sinister Inquisitor, Don Alhambra Del Bolero, informs the Spanish royal party that the heir to the throne was entrusted as a baby to a respectable gondolier and reared with the man's own son. Owing to his taste for tippling, the gon- dolier could not tell which of the two was his own son and finally died leaving the boys to carry on his trade. The Inquisitor sends his emissaries after the King's foster-mother to settle which of the two is the King and which the gon- dolier. The two young men, Marco and Giuseppe Palmieri, fall in love with and marry two young peasant girls, Gianetta and Tessa. Confusion results when Casilda and the Inquisitor discover that both young men are married and that one is an unintentional bigamist. The two rule jointly until the affair is dis- entangled when'Inez, the King's foster-mother, reveals that she substituted her own small boy for the royal babe, and that Luiz, the drummer-boy, is the King of Barataria. Luiz and Casilda are crowned King and Queen, and all are contented. Especially fine performances were given by Bill Horning, baritone as the sinister Inquisitor; Tom Strong, base, as the hen-pecked Duke of Plaza-Toro. Fred Barrett, baritone, and Neil Dahlstrom tenor, were especially pleasing in the roles of the gay gondoliers. Helen Faulkner, soprano, and Kathleen Kittendorff, mezzo-soprano, played the parts of the peasant brides with vivacious charm. Marian Baird, soprano, as the beautiful Casilda; and Josephine Bugli, mezzo-soprano, the overbearing Duchess, were convincing in their respective roles. Forty-five The sparkling epigrams of Oscar Wilde were delightfully presented in two performances of 'The Importance of Being Earnest on February 26 and 27 by the first faculty cast to appear at Missoula High School. The play was directed by Miss Mary V. Harris. The cast included Lane, Mr. Noel I. Baker; Algernon Moncrieff, Mr. Frank T. Kelly; Jack Worthing, Mr. Dudley B. Brown; Gwendolyn Fairfax, Miss lone Lake; Lady Bracknell, Miss Mina I. Carr; Cecily Cardew, Miss Erma Monroe; Miss Prism, Miss Hazel Swearingen; Dr. Chasuble, Mr. Carroll Miller; Mer- riman, Mr. Edward Davis; and the maid, Miss Violet Boileau. Formed through individual initiative as an extra-curricular activity, the Girls' Sextette is the only small musical group in the school. Directed and ac- companied by Josephine Bugli, the girls have sung for assemblies, civic clubs, and at other entertainments. The sextette is composed of upper-classmen each of whom has had some musical training.

Its officers are: Clayton Konzack, president; Ruth Clough, vice-president; En- ger Lang, treasurer; Kathleen Kittendorff, secretary; John Lister, accompanist; and Mr. Emmett Anderson, sponsor. The larger musical groups are the orchestra, the band, and the begin- ners' band. The band composed of sixty-seven members is directed by Mr. Emmett Anderson. Throughout the year, the band made frequent appearances at games, concerts, and parades. Much credit should be given to Professor Stanley Teel of the Montana University faculty, and the late Mr. Lester C. Smith for their interest in forming a band two years ago.

For students who wish to learn to play instruments with the hope of be- coming members of the first band, a beginners band has been organized under the direction of Mr. Emmett Anderson. Although less active than the band, the orchestra is a popular group. Composed of thirty-five young musicians the orchestra has appeared at as- semblies and a selected few of its members accompanied The Gondoliers. The officers are: Eileen Wysel, president; David Stelling, vice-president; Peggy Shannon, concert master; Jessie Hogan, accompanist; and Mr. Emmett Anderson, sponsor. A favorite at athletic games and at Track Meet is the Drum Corps, which ORCHESTRA BEGINNERS' BAND is sponsored by Mr. Emmett Anderson. Resplendent in white costumes with purple and gold capes, the girls have made favorable showings throughout the year. The purposes of the Stage Screws are two-fold; primarily, to acquaint the members of the crew with a first-hand knowledge of the stage, and secondly, to assist with the production of all assemblies and other performances con- nected with the stage. The organization consists of a stage manager, chief electrician, assistant electrician, and several stage hands. Volunteering for stage service is one method every boy has of earning Thespian credit. Every member, however, is required to work at least one night a week on stage to receive credit. Under the able leadership of stage manager Charles Luedke, the Stage Screws have succeeded in accomplishing both its objectives. The student body is indeed grateful for the splendid cooperation offered by this organiza- tion in the production of the year's programs.

H. S. field on the tenth day of June. Without any technical difficulties or serious mishaps, the crew and passengers com- pleted the non-stop flight. In addition to the advantages these mature fliers have of belonging to any of many clubs, some aspire to be chosen members of one or more of the three honor organizations. Election to the National Honor Society is the greatest achievement. To become a member one must have excellent scholarship, possess a fine char- acter, be a good leader, and must have given service. Candidates must be in the upper third of their class and only fifteen per cent of the class may be chosen. Members are chosen by a committee composed of the heads of de- partments. They are aided by a vote of the senior students and recommenda- tions of faculty members. An assembly, an initiation banquet, and a picnic were given in honor of its members.

Harris Anothei honor club for seniors is the National Thespian group for out- standing students in dramatics. To become a member each aspirant must earn twenty-five points in acting or in production work. The purpose of the club is to increase interest in dramatic productions and to act as an incentive to and a reward for better work. Its activities consist of sponsoring produc- tions, buying stage equipment, and holding several social sessions. Camilla McCormick replaced Willis Blanchette as president late in the year. In the fall, the Thespians presented Death Takes a Holiday and a group of one-acts. They assisted in presenting the faculty play, The Importance of Being Earnest, and the light opera, The Gondoliers. Candidates for the honor club, Quill and Scroll, must be of junior or sen- ior standing, must be in the upper third of their class scholastically, and must have done superior work in writing, editing, or in business management. Quill and Scroll members published the razz issue and the senior edition this year.

McGinley Haltunen Grace Brauer W. McGinley Hensolt Potter ALUMNI-MISSOULA In a pre-season clash, the high school alumni nosed out the Purple and Gold eleven 6 to 0. Un- der the new mentorship of Coach Edward Chinske and the leadership of Captain Blaine Normandeau, the 1936 gridsters made many decisive gains. Runs were made by Roberts and Campbell, and the tussle foretold that the Missoula squad had the makings of a first-rate team. WALLACE-MISSOULA The Purple's hope received a set-back Saturday, September 19, when the team journeyed to Wallace, Idaho, to play Coach Mel Ingram's sturdy warriors. They walloped the local eleven 26 to 7. Coach Ed- ward Chinske said, I knew that our team would be beaten by at least one touchdown, but not by three. Passing defense was very slack causing the downfall of the boys.” WHITEFISH MISSOULA In the first home game of the season, the Mis- soulians trounced the Fishers with the score of 27 to 6. Passing defense clicked better than that in the Wallace fray. Doug Campbell shone on pass- ing and punting. Hileman and Kaluza of the Green and Gold were outstanding for the losers, while the passing combination of Potter, Johnson, and Ander- son proved too strong for Whitefish. FLATHEAD-MISSOULA Missoula high gridsters marched off the new Kal- ispell stadium to the tune of a 20 to 7 victory over the Flathead Indians on Saturday, October 17. Gibbs, flashy, colored ace of the Kalispell eleven, continually kept the locals on their toes with his brilliant passing and punting. Blaine Normandeau, in spite of a sprained ankle, was called on time and again to make yardage. In the line for the Mis- soulians Walter Hensolt, Fred Brauer, and Neil Johnson showed exceptionally well. Barrett Faulkner Hamilton McChesney Wild Streit McCormick Cobb Tabor Ambrose Winters Brown Button Phillips Buck Mudd Blanchette Homes Hook Mr. H. J. Hunt Coombe Perry BUTTE CENTRAL-MISSOULA Missoula came up in the last half to win irom the Central Maroons in a slow game played at Clark Park in Butte, October 23. The Centralites were leading the first half, 6 to 0, but clever passing of Captain Normandeau to Johnson and Plummer brought the Purples out of the hole to win 20 to 6. HELENA-MISSOULA Passes led to five touchdowns on November 7, when Helena pounded the Purples 19 to 12. Mis soula desperately launched a passing attack in the last few minutes of the game but was unable to over come the lead that the Bengals had collected. Camp- bell, Missoula sophomore, showed favorably as a coming passer. ANACONDA-MISSOULA Playing the season's best brand of ball, Missoula Spartans ran over the Smelter City eleven on a fast field, 13 to 0. Normandeau, said to be one of the best ball packers seen on the field, started his usual battering-ram style to cross the pay stripe early in the first quarter. Anderson showed exceptionally well in the line, while Jim McGinley, Emory Plum- mer, and Larry Potter sparkled in the backfield. BUTTE PUBLIC-MISSOULA In a game which removed Missoula from the con ference running, the Purples received another set- back on Saturday, October 31, when they tackled Butte Public High and lost, 6 to 3. The Missoulians scored in the first quarter with a blizzard at their backs, and the half ended with the score standing 3 to 0. Naranche came through in the fourth to make the final score 6 to 3. Although Potter's fine kicking couldn't keep the local eleven out of the hole, he was outstanding in the backfield. Plummer Brauer Poitras Hensolt DuVall Cot© Campbell B.

McGinley Hen3olt Gray Brauer Normandeau Loran Coach Chjnske Ending the 1936 grid season with a fifty-fifty standing, the Purple and Gold of Missoula High had a successful season. The Missoulians engaged in only three home games, two of which were played in blizzards. They lost two of these games, Butte Public and Helena, by scores of 6 to 3 and 19 to 12. Throughout the season, Captain Blaine Normandeau kept the boys in fighting trim by his constant fire and strength. He truly earned the all-state berth, playing practically every minute at the full-back position. Equal credit must be given also to his team mates, seven of whom are seniors. Coach Eddie Chinske, who started his mentorship at Missoula County High the fall of '36, proved to be an outstanding tutor. With only four letter- men back—Normandeau, Potter, Grace, and Brauer—he managed to topple over some of the meanest teams of the state. With reserves coming up from Coaches Miller and Buzzetti, Mr. Chinske predicts a more successful season next fall. RESERVE FOOTBALL Under the able tutorship of Assistant Coach Carroll Miller, the High School Reserve football team was able to finish the grid season with three wins and only one defeat. They suffered their only loss against Saint Peter's of Ana- conda, the youngsters holding them scoreless the last three quarters. Those who were beaten by the Reserve squad were Thompson Falls, Arlee, and Alberton. As the season progressed and the varsity squad was selected, Carroll Miller used as his first string, Pitts, who was later moved up to the varsity; Avery, who was also used in Coach Chinske's team; Hallowell, Gray, Mar- shall Small, Billl Small, Howard Small, Roberts, Strong, Van Gieson, and Pew. All of these boys will be back next fall to fill out the holes in the first string. Roberts, Strong, M. and H. Small, and Pew will be in the backfield while the others will help in the line. Assistant Basketball Coach Buzzetti Assistant Football Coach Miller BASKETBALL By defeating Kalispell for the second time, Missoula High's casaba tossers came out third in the Northern Division to pack home the only trophy that it has won since the championship in 1934, when the team won first honors in the Northern Division only to be nosed out in the finals. Missoula opened its season by defeating Townsend in a pre-season clash. With eight games to be played during the next seventeen days, the Missou- lians started brilliantly when they took Miles City three times, Billings, Helena, and Kalispell. Missoula dropped three out of the first eight tilts, being beaten by Butte Public, Anaconda, and Butte Central. The next week-end found the Golden Players at home once more where they nosed out Butte Central, only to be beaten by Helena the next day on the foreign court. Journeying to Butte, Missoula was beaten by a close score; and returned the same night to engage the Whitefish club a day later. After trouncing the Fishers, they took” Anaconda by a lopsided count and then went on the northern trek where they were beaten by the Flathead Braves, but came out on the long end of the score against the Whitefish quint. The season closed for the Purple and Gold with the Northern Division Tournament at Havre. The initial game was with Whitefish, whom Missoula beat without much trouble. The Purples were then scheduled to play the Great Falls Bisons, the defending champions. Through inability to hit the basket, the locals were beaten by seven points. They came back the next day in the consolation round, trouncing Helena to earn a place in the tourney; and the same night they played Kalispell in a close game to win third place in the Northern district. Coach Edward Chinske used as his first squad Larry Potter and Neil John- son at the guard position. He moved Cub from the forward position to the guard because of his ability to hit the hoop on long shots. Dwight Miller played consistent ball at the center position. When String tired, another six-foot-four-incher, George Croonenberghs, alternated with him. At the for- Stewart Miller Johnson Potter Avery Coach Chinske DuVall Kizer Campbell Croonenberqhs Weikel Drew wards, the coach placed John Stewart and sophomore Doug Campbell. First alternate was Russel Edwards, who was moved up from the Reserve Squad because of his nice showing. First alternates were Harvey Avery and Ken Kizer at the guards, Dick DuVall and Luther Weikel at the forwards.

Coach Guy T. Stegner, assisted by Managers Eugene Haugh and David Stegner, issued a call to some sixty-odd men to practice in the gym until spring rains ceased. The Missoulians had two pre-season meets: one with the Cubs of the State University, and the other with Kalispell and Butte Public.

Until recently, interest in the minor sports was espoused by only a few. This year, however, sufficient enthusiasm has been aroused to warrant an inter-scholastic golf tournament as well as one for tennis, and an inter-scholastic contest for Missoula High in the field of debate. Tennis has always been well sponsored; but, in order to increase interest, an intra- mural tennis tournament has also been organized. The purposes of the Debate Club are to stimulate clear, quick thinking and to acquire skill in public speaking. Though there was no trained material available, the club members de- cided to enter the Montana Public High School Debate League which arranges inter-school debates. Several lusty debaters are preparing for interscholastic competition. The question this year was: resolved that all electrical utilities should be governmentally owned and operated.

Early in the year, two seniors, Shirley Timm and Eileen Hamilton, le- ceived their M's having accumulated in three year's activities the neces- sary six hundred points. A point record of each girl's activities is kept as she may win points in basketball, badminton, baseball, tennis, and by indi- vidual work in hiking, bicycling or roller skating. Business sessions are not held regularly but the girls meet for practice on specific nights. The group has several parties throughout the year. The girls were entertained by ice-skating at the rink and swimming at the Univer- sity pool. Every year some members attend Play Day sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association of the Montana University. This year the officers at- tended, by special invitation, the Play Day in Anaconda. Timm Hamilton Each girl must take compulsory physical education for two years. Among classes offered in this course are tumbling, folk dancing, and general sports. As noted by the enrollment, the most popular classes this year were danc- ing and tumbling. Throughout the year members of these various classes frequently ap- peared at assemblies and at Girls' Club meetings. A G. A. A. assembly is held each year featuring tumbling and dance acts. Miss Irma Monroe in- structs all classes. TAIL'S 1 1 MS mmm THE ANNUAL DRIVE After many hours of discussion to which each member brought a wealth of inspiring suggestions, the staff completed plans for the most successful year- book subscription drive in the history of M. H. S. The campaign was under the direction of Effiellen Jeffries and Garvin Shallenberger. The curtain raiser for the drive was a short skit in assembly, a takeoff on the witches' scene from Macbeth, which was directed by Josephine Bugli. Those who took part in this scene were: Margaret Lentz, Walter Hensolt, Justine Hughes, Vivian Olson, and Betty McLure. Posters with catchy phrases and illustrations were done by Owen Coombe, Bud Blanchette, Virginia Miller, and a commercial-lettering class. Symbolic of the book's all-school nature, small M s of yellow cloth were given to each subscriber. This emblem also admitted him to a surprise at- traction. Before the end of the campaign the surprise, which was a matinee dance for those wearing M's, was announced. The orchestra donated its services. Another novel idea was the home room contest. The first room to get one hundred per cent of its members subscribing to the Bitter Root had its picture taken for the annual in recognition of this distinction. Miss Edna A. Mann's group, room 203, won. A goal of at least 800 subscriptions was set by Miss Violet M. Boileau, year-book sponsor. However, not even the most optimistic staff member sin- cerely believed it would be passed. But passed it w jis, for 900 annuals had to be ordered. This was the reception given Missoula High's first all-school annual. THE WINNING HOME ROOM B. Tucker Snow Hucjhes Heilman Granmo Miss Edna A.

Through the Greeks and Romans it has spread to Europe and now has reached Amer- ica to stay. Since its introduction to the United States, puppeteering is pop- ular in universities, high schools, churches, and in the movies. To design, make, costume, and manipulate the tiny performers require much time and skill. For the first time in the history of the school a puppet club has been formed by a group of enthusiasts. It endeavors to make its program one which will increase the popularity of puppet making. The club, which was organ- ized late in the fall, speedily made a constitution and began work. In the win- ter a puppet show was presented and in the spring, Robinson Crusoe was given. President.............................. Carl Gulley Vice-president............................

In the course of the day, each section of the building is given a thorough clean- ing. In addition to iTS usual task of clean-up work, the field squad has proven itself a decided asset along many other lines. When emergencies arise, the alarm is sounded for the field squad, whose quick and efficient service has made it invaluable. Student cooperation in keeping our halls orderly has mounted greatly in the past year with the Girls' Club sponsoring a clean-up campaign. As a direct result, the M. H. S. airport is almost impregnable to germs. Phil Charlie tributed by Missoula Mercantile Co.
