It was the largest graduating class which had ever terminated its high school work at this Institute. It could also boast of the greatest number of A students who will- ingly and faithfully did their best to maintain a high standard for the school, and make it a home-like place for all who came here. ln order of entering the school the membership was as follows: Alberta Brodock came to the Polytechnic in 1920 and 1921. She taught school for a few years, and as water finds its way back to the ocean, our Al again found her way here in 1925. Another of our earlier members was Grace Robbins who came in 1921. Stanley Ca- vill, Ira Phillips, Joseph Garrison and Vaye Canfield entered in 1922. Mr. Cavill was out one year. but re-entered in 192-1. Others we were proud to have in our midst were Homer lXfIorton, Edwin Cavill, lXIay Kuhl, Idella Hodgins and Amalia Schrupp and they were our freshmen class in 1923. Added to our list in 192-1, to be seniors the following year were 1Villiam Chamberlain, Bert Kronmiller, Elizabeth Trotter. Thelma Shively, Louis Chilcott, llflary Fagan, Jenny Blee and Clifford Greenup. Those who last entered the class were Velma Stovall, who came in Sep- tember and Edward Nicks, who arrived in November. Though amongst us for so short a time. they exhibited the class spirit with alacrity. Our class deserved much credit for its part in all the activities of the school. In athletics we had some of the best players, namely, Bert Kronmiller, Williarn Cham- berlain, Edward Nicks. Clifford Greenup and Stanley Cavill, They starred in many of our games, such as basketball, baseball and football. The athletics for girls in- cluded basketball and other indoor recreations. Though the girls did not play any outside teams, they had many enjoyable games under the leadership of Mrs. Holmes. The officers of this class were, President, Bert Kronmiller, who was captain of the football team, Vice-President, Stanley Cavill, who as the butler, created a stirr- ing sensation in the senior play, Secretary and Treasurer, Joe Garrison. He inter- preted with unusual ability and appreciation, the hero Clarencel' in the class play. He was also president of the Pioneer society. VVe had for the sponsor of our class, Nlr. Holmes, who directed the class to greater heights of fame in all activities. The boys' and girls' glee clubs had several members from this class and their fame went abroad from Polytechnic to all the neighboring towns, carrying profitable pleasure to both performers and audiences. The school took great pride in its interest in the Annual Vocational Conference at Bozeman. To the girls' conference this year were sent Alberta Brodock, Amalia Schrupp, Nlary Fagan, Elizabeth Trotter, Idella Hodgins and Maya' Kuhl, all mem- bers of the senior class. To the boys' conference were sent lra Phillips, James Hol- lowell, Homer lblorton and VVilliam Chamberlain. Above all other accomplishments our class felt most grateful for the training in leadership and preparation for life which are two of the outstanding merits of this school. The personalities and abilities of the men and women of the class will prove their appreciation by the way they uphold the standard of life here established. Page Ttuffzzty-sewfz THE POLYGRAPH, 1026 CLASS PROPHECY There is a little cottage on one of the streets of Chicago. If you should happen on the right evening and without knowledge to anyone to step into the front parlor, you would see a man of about SU years. He is resting in a large comfortable rocker and has a book in his hand. He is looking at it and seems to be reading- and yet- there seems to be a far away look as though his mind was hundreds of miles away. :X faint smile curls his lipsg no, he is not reading: he is thinking of something that has happened in bygone days. Only the thoughts of a friend that one hasn't seen for years can create a smile like that. Let us glance over his shoulder and see what the book is, and what there is in it.

As to such estate as it has pleased the Fates and our own strong hands and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: Article l-W'e give and bequeath to our beloved faculty all the amazing know- ledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in our various examination papers. We know that much which we have imparted to them in this way must have been entirely new to them, as well as to all teachers and students every- where, and would throw much light on many a hitherto unfamiliar line of thought, throughout the world of science and learning, even outside the walls of the Billings Polytechnic Institute. We trust that the faculty will feel at perfect liberty to make use of all such bits of wisdom and enlightment for the education of the classes to come after us. 'l'his, of course, is left entirely to their personal discretion.

Article III-XVe give and bequeath to our teachers our sincere affection, our deepest reverence, our heartiest gratitude and the whole unlim- ited wealth of our eternal memory, also in an attempt at partial payment we make over to them a heavy mortgage on our future in the Great Unknown beyond. It shall be theirs to watch every step of our onward and upward climb-to note each trial, each attempt, each victory, each success and honor that we achieve in the arms of the world-and to accept for themselves, as interest on our deathless debt. every ounce of the praise, every iota of the honor, knowing that is all due to them.

The movement spread until over forty students asked for a church organ- ization, and on Rlarch 1-1, 1910, Dr. Hubert Herring, then the General Secretary of the Congregational Churches of America, organized the Polytechnic Church. The broad and simple creed can take into fellowship anyone who believes in God, the Father: Christ, the Song and the Brotherhood of lvlan. Rev. Raymond B. lValker, who is also pastor of the First Congregational Church of Billings has been pastor of the Polytechnic Church for the past four years. THE LOUGEE LEAGUE MRS. NV. E. RINGLE, Sponsor The Lougee League is a Christian organization named in honor of Mrs. Ella Lougee. Its aim is to develop Christian experience, aid in character formation and to establish a wholesome viewpoint on life. By having a different leader every time, new and inexperienced members are given a chance to develop leadership. Besides the dramatization of the YVooing and YVinning of Rebecca and the Easter Pageant, the League gave a party on Qctober 31, a Banquet December 13 and con- ducted the Rim Rock Services at the end of the year.

Six hundred baby chix of high laying strains are rapidly making hens and roosters of themselves. Some of the best Minnesota varieties of plums and apples have been set out in the orchard. There will be several purebred Hampshire hogs to commence a herd with. The dairy division expects the addition of at least two registered Holstein cows. The dairy barn and silo will be completed and will constitute a model one. The house moved to the barnyard will be used as a milk and dairy building. A 20x80 foot machine shed will be built west of the barn. A 3Ox6-l- foot hog house will be built southwest of the barn. This will house the horses and calves temporarily, as well as the hogs.

Homiiis, Cnarlz PUBLIC SPEAKING AND ORATORY Realizing the inestimable value of proper training in Public Speaking, the directors of the Institute set out this year to find a strong man to head that department. Their endeavors resulted in the selection of Professor Garrett A. Holmes, through whose efforts the Public Speaking work at the Billings Polytechnic has been placed on a firm basis, with real development and progress made along all lines pertaining to this work. ln fact, students in this department assert that the training received there has been most profitable. The program for the year has been divided into four divisions: Class work in the principles of public speaking, debate work, dramatics, and oI'2lto!'y. KVith respect to the class work, it was found necessary to organize two classes, one of college RMMONI, I1UND' Uf,,f,,,.,. rank and one of high school rank. Each class i has been filled with students all year. The class work has been practical, instructive, and entertaining. The aims of the class work, as outlined by hlr. Holmes, are to develop to the fullest extent the capacities of each student for effective speech: to train them to stand on their feet before an audience and speak clearly and effectively without embarrassment, to teach them how to con- struct and deliver a speechg and, what is most important, to teach them the underlying principles of building character and personality, the most valuable assets of one's education. ln dramatics, the crowning achievement of the year was the production of Booth Tarkingtonls noted comedy, Clarence, presented by the Senior Class. This was quite a difficult performance for amateurs to undertake, but that it was done most meritoriously is attested by the fact that several townspeople characterized it as the best amateur performance they had ever seen in Billings. Also of spcial interest is the fact that a beautiful and complete set of scenery was designed and constructed right here on the campus under the direction of lXlr. Holmes. This made a most effective and necessary setting for the play. ln oratory we find the same high quality of work manfested. Raymond Lund, a college sophomore, was chosen to represent the school in the state contest, and after working diligently for several months, produced a real oration. He went up against the best in the state and came out of the contest with fourth place. He was especially commended for his work by the judges, but next year he is going to win even a higher place. The Polytechnic was chosen as the place for the contest next year, and lklr. Holmes was elected President of the ltlontana State Intercollegiate Oratorical i 'av . Qnlivvl'-Q Association. The work of the department for the year, closed with a contest in Declamation and Oratory among the members of the classes. Cash prizes were awarded the winners in each event, and plans were made whereby such a contest might become an annual event. Page .lforty THE POLYGRAPH, 1926 DEBATE .4 I GARRET A. Holmes, Coach In the field of debate, more activity and greater success was realized than ever before. Out of twenty candidates the following six people were chosen as the members of the two teams: Esther jorgenson, Alfred Bartz, Guy Cole, XVilliam Keefer, Homer Nlorton, and Raymond Loomis. These were all new hands at the game, and much hard work on the part of the group and lXIr. Holmes was necessary in order that our school could be prepared to meet the larger college and university teams of the sur- rounding country. But these folks meant business, all rightg and before they were through, a debate team had been developed that was known favorably all the way from Helena, IXfIontana, to VVheaton, Illinois-a team of which the whole school was mighty proud. The year's schedule was composed of eight debates with the following schools: two with State School of lwinesg two with lldontana State College, one with Mount St. Charles, Intermountain Union, Jamestown University. and Wheaton College, lVbeaton, Illinois. The best debate of the season was the last, the one with XVheaton College, in which the Polytechnic was so ably represented by Homer lVIorton, Alfred Bartz, and VVilliam Keefer. Many interesting things could be said of the trials, tribu- lations and joys of the debate seasong but about all that we have space to say is that it was a most successful season and that the debaters felt well repaid for their hours of arduous labors. Oh, yes, we must not forget to mention the brilliant surprise banquet which the debate teams staged for lVIr. Holmes, at the close of which they presented him and blrs. Holmes with a beautiful silver sandwich tray as expressive of their appreciation. Page f orty--mir' THE POLYGRAPH, 1926 AU'I'O-TRACTOR R. B.

This year the courses were arranged so that a student may enter for any length of time and receive full benefit. 'lihe shop is run on a practical basis, affording the students a large amount of experience on actual repair work. All earnings of the department are put into addi- tional equipment. IN'Ir. Archer's men are able to do complete overhauling, including oxy-acetylene and gas welding as well as battery work.

The second year class completed several practical jobs and the radio class installed and operated a small transmitting set. The mechanical drawing classes. a new addition this year, have attracted many students not taking electrical work. Under the able direction of Mr. Strauch, several embryo Cartoonists are developing in the free hand drawing class.

ZW Coach Lyons issued the first call for football men the second week of school. Some twenty candidates reported and were issued equipment. Intensive practice was started immediately, due to the lateness of starting the season and the inexperience of the squad. A majority of the men were green. at least they had never played. They learned fast and in three weeks there was a semblance of a team. After getting a good start hard luck overtook the aggregation. The unusually cold and wet season causec'f'a number of scheduled opponents to disband and as a result, cancellations came fast upon each other. The fist game was scheduled and played in Sheridan and re- sulted in a 20-6 defeat of the Yellowjackets. This game was the only one played with a foreign team and was played under conditions that marked the whole season --- rain, wind and mud. After several games had been cancelled, there was still hope of the big game of the season with lntermountain Union, but they disbanded and called off hostilities. The boys had to be content with scrimmage games. In these the varsity proved conclusively in the last few weeks, that they were a good team and entitled to better luck than was their lot. The team was built around Captain Kronmiller. at tackle, Lund, at guard. and Bartz, in the backfield. all lettermen from last year. These three were the only members of the squad who enjoyed extended permancy in their positions. The rest of the team was made up at different times of the following men: Hanks, Frazier. Sennett, Gaffney. lforton and Hawbaker, endsg Kronmiller, Hanson. Ed. Cavill and Sandon. tackles, Lund, Swartz, E. Cavill. Evans and Hollowell, guardsg Swartz, S. Cavill and Jones, centersg Keickbusch, Cole, Gaffney and Gordon, half-backsg Bartz, Swartz and Gaffney, full-backsg S. Cavill, Cole, Frazier and Hawbaker, quarter-backs. In the above we forgot to include two members of the squad who were noted for their versatility. They were willing at any time to play any position. If they had only had a little more weight and years they could have made the team. Next year's squad should have Strauch and Chatwood as two of its most willing workers.

HOLNIES, Coach The physical education class for girls was started under the leadership of Mrs. Holmes. Basketball was given as a part of the regular exercise and this became so popular that it soon took the place of the drill and folk dances. It was a select group which met every Nlonday and Wednesday' evening, for there were no interscholastic contests to motivate them. Their only purpose was the love of the game. VVe cannot estimate the success of the girls' basketball in figures, since there were no games to be won, and they received no letters for their efforts, but the ten or twekre girls who came out did spend some enjoyable. as well as instructive evenings in the gym.

The last game of the season was with Lindamoods and was the best of the lot. They came out loaded for bear, ' their line-up including the cream of the league. The Yellowjackets, however, whipped the cream and marked up a 32-2-l victory. Because of the fact that several schools asked too much guarantee to play, the season was not as full as it could have been. All but three of the games were with independent teams and this permitted Prof. G. A. Holmes to play in several, where the opponents looked formidable. His running-mate was Red Hanks. Together at forward, they were a hard combination to stop. Captain Keickbusch and Hawbaker also played at these positions. 'fKick was usually found at center, his understudies being Gaffney and Dunn. Oliver, Nicks, Bartz, Gaffney, Dunn and Kronmiller took turns at holding down the opposition. - 1 BASKETBALL LETTER MEN The basketball letter men are as follows: Hanks, Keickbusch, Hawbaker.
