Journalism This year a course in journalism was added to the curricula of Laurel High. Students enrolled in the course and underclassmen interested in journalism make up the staff of the Laurel Leaves. On September 22, the Laurel Leaves celebrated its tenth anniversary with a birthday dance held in the gym. During the year the Laurel Leaves, our school paper, has received various ratings and certificates from different press associations. International First Place award from paper by Quill and Scroll; First Class Honor Rating by the N. S. P. A., and Superior Rating by the M. I. A. ♦ Debate The debate squad this year was made up of two freshmen: Vemon Jennings and Eddie Hoganson; one sophomore, Ralph Herriot, and two seniors, Eddie. Speare and Jim Cusick. Because the team was formed so late, only one team formed of the two seniors participated in the actual debates. This season the Laurel team held practice debates with Fromberg, Park City, Columbus and Billings. Laurel entered the district tournament held in Billings as is customary. Debating in the tournament were seven teams: Shepherd, Billings, Park City, Columbus, Roundup, Fromberg, and, of course, Laurel. By winning five straight debates Laurel captured the district title. Speare and Cusick went to Missoula to compete for the State Title. Eddie Speare and Jim Cusick have been debating now for four years. Last year they attended the state contest, but failed to place. The question for debate today is: Resolved: That all able bodied male citizens must have one year of fulltime military training before attaining the present draft age.

' VSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AA WWW VSAfWVWWWS A V VvW’vV S FOOTBALL This sports section is dedicated to the Champions of ’41, who sailed through the first undefeated season in the history of Laurel Hi, to capture every crown possible with the present system used in class B football. The Locomotives started their offensive against Cody and never stopped till they knocked over Anaconda Central for the Southern Montana Championship. The season was sparked with many thrills and lots of good football. It was a heavy team with a strong line and a fast backfield which rolled over all its opponents. By winning all our district games we wron the right to play Klein for the Yellowstone District title. After a thriller we won by a small margin in an overtime game. In the overtime period both sides scored, setting a national record, because it’s the first time both sides scored in the California playoff. Beating Klein gave us a clear shot at the Southern Division Championship. We had to play Anaconda, winners of the Three Rivers District and trounced them in a comparatively easy game. The team of ’37 had won the S. M. D. C. but had suffered two defeats. So here’s to the team of ’41, the only undefeated football team Laurel has produced. The team was composed of eight senior lettermen and five underclass letter-men. All but one lineman is lost this year by graduation.
