RODEO — 1929 ■“No more for him life’s stormy conflicts, Nor victory, nor defeat—no more time’s dark eyents, Charging like ceaseless clouds across the sky. But sing poet in our name, Sing of the love we bore him—” —Whitman. 3« jMeutitrtt iif iKntnlh (brtilth 0si- tr iutiH rru RODEO — 1929 k MISS MILDRED BURCHAM Dedication yO Miss M ldred Burcham. our sponsor, v. ho has so generously given her t'me to this publica- tion, who has so capably guided the staff in all its undertakings, who merits a great measure of credit for any success this annual may attract, and without whose able leadership this work would not have been possible, we dedicate this third volume of the “RODEO.” 6 RODEO — 1929 (Rodeo Staff Margaret Benjamin, Editor-in-Ghief Ray Beadle.

When we are old, cold, and grey, I am told we shall learn We get nothing for nothing, Our honors we earn. We must dig like the mole, Break the dark silent ground, ’Till we finally burst through Into grass, light and sound. And the muscles we dig with, Our heart and our brain, The success that we have, Does Experience gain. —Stanley Polich. 8 RODEO—ic 29 4 « X. RODEO — 1929 Class Roll LETT IE ALT— To he wise is a gift.

Fear not each sudden test and shock, It’s only the teachers you should sock; ’Tis but the flapping of a skirt, And not a rent made in your shirt!

One of the leading events of their school year was when the ninety-one scared Freshmen were initiated by the Seniors. The upperclassmen instructed the girls to come in dresses to their ankles and no cosmetics or curls. The boys had their hair parted in the mid- dle and combed down the sides of their faces, and their trousers were to be roll- ed up to their knees. The initiation began sharply at one o’clock. The shampoo for their hair was made of eggs, salt, vaseline and mange cure. For the cosmetics there were mecurichrome iodine and shoe-blackening. At the close of the eighth period they were brought before the other classes for the remain- der of their initiation. They formed a line, marching across the platform bowing to each noble Senior from whom they received a blow from a hairbrush. After this the Senior class declared the Freshmen duly initiated and lauded them for their good sportsmanship. The Athletic Association campaign went over one hundred per cent. This was the first time in several years that the Freshman class was able to do this. The Freshman class this year again showed their good sportsmanship by agreeing to paint the “R” without any suggestions from the Seniors. On Fri- day afternoon, September 28, the entire male membership of the Freshman class, under the supervision of a committee of Senior boys, climbed up the long steep hill south of town and gave the “R” a fresh coat of whitewash. The feminine members of the class remained at the foot of the hill and prepared a picnic lunch for the boys as a reward for their labors. The night of February 1 was reserved for the Freshman dance. The commit- tee selected a snappy three-piece orches- tra and at eight o’clock the fun began. Several bashful Freshman boys got the courage to step out upon the floor, which was the first time they could ever be persuaded to make the attempt. At 11:30, as the orchestra played “Home, Sweet Home,” the party was dismissed, everyone declaring they had had a royal good time. The Freshmen presented two very clever programs during the year. One was in January, when the Harmonica band, composed solely of Freshmen boys, gave their program. The entire band played the opening selections. After this followed a solo, duet, and jnany short but clever dialogues. The pro- gram as a whole proved very interesting and amusing. The second program was presented on February 15, and was put on by the Freshmen girls. This consist- ed of a two-act play entitled “Two Little Rebels,” with “The Parade of the Wood- en Soldiers” and a vocal solo as features between acts. Altogether the class has had a very successful year, and we only hope that it will meet with just as much success dur- ing the remaining three years of its high school career. --------o------ CHARACTER INDEX TEST Think of your initials, fit them to the proper list below.

They opened the “Forbidden Door.” “The Beasts of Tarzan” nearly tore them to pieces and “The Green Archer” terrified them. “The Blue Hand” opened a door with “The Fourteenth Key” and they were thrown into “The Underground Pass- age.” “The Ear in the Wall” heard their plans for “The Rescue” and told them to “Black Ceasar’s Clan.” They said “Bring Us His Ears.” “The Poor Little Rich Boy” saw his “Fighting Chance,” so he broke the “Barrier” and “Rescued” the “Lovers” from “The House of Horrors.” —Marian Sombor. Gregarious I’d like to live in cities In Chicago or New York, To ride in crowded subways, To go to crowded theaters. I’d like to ride down Lake Shore Drive And boulevards and one-way streets, And watch the people come and go Along a busy way. I’d like to fall asleep at night With the sound of many feet And cars and trains all passing by, And thundering in my ears. I’d like to live in cities And rub shoulders with the clerk, the shop girl, and the truck man, I’d like to live, and work, and dream, Among people. —Margaret Lewis (Pep Club OFFICERS Ruth Jones ......

The qualifications for active member- ship in the club aro as follows: Each member must be a bona f'de student of the Roundup High School with grades above passing in at least three of his regular subjects. He must be an active member, both in attendance at athletic events and n school. There is an equal number of boys and girls, and the mem- bership 's proportioned as nearly as pos- sible as follows: twelve Seniors, twelve Juniors, eight Sophomores and eight Freshmen. Members of the Football and BasketbaH teams, both boys and girls, are honorary members. AH members upon admittance take an oath of good sportsmanship, obedience and loyalty. Pep is apparent at all social activities and especially predominates at the an- nual Pep Club parties given in honor of the Football and Basketball teams. At intervals during the year the Pep Club gave short and clever stunts. Of particular note was the sketch entitled “Mince Pie.” After having eaten the pie our heroes not'ced a sign bearing the words “Cat Pie.” Each hurriedly de- parted and the last to see the sign was operated on. From his anatomy was taken a live cat, a football, Klein, in effi- gy, and other things which were by no means good for his constitution. The Club presented an interesting program on May tenth, in which an Egyptian for- tune teller played an important part. A pantomime entitled “And The Lamp Went Out” received enthusiastic com- ment. Miss Dean, accompamed by Miss Burcham, played numbers on the Cello. Songs were contributed by the Girls’ Glee Club.

Prac- tically the members were to be given the opportunity of hearing those stories which time and situaPon prevented them from reading. A minute liberal education was its aim, as knowledge and discussions of “Books of the Day” was to be had. People like David Starr Jordon and Honore Willie Marrow found their way into the talks. Books such as Edith Wharton’s, “Children;” Upton Sinclair’s, “The Jungle;” were reviewed. The semi-social meetings called forth com- ments and discussions on worth-while questions as well as the appreciation of kindred spirits.

The plot center- ed around a wedding party and all the calamaties that befell the guests. There was a blackmailer vTho threatened to spoil the wedding, a robber who carried off considerable property. One young man found himself engaged to three girls, lost his money in a bank, and was accused of being a thief. Everything turned out satisfactorily, as plays always do. An excellent Christmas play was pre- sented by the public speaking classes on December 19, in the high school auditor- ium. The play, “The Christmas Carol,” was based on the story, “The Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, and was on the order of a fantasy. Christmas car- ols were sung by the Glee Club. The second program to be presented by the Freshmen was given February 15 by a number of Freshmen girls. The first feature was “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.” A t,vo-act play, “Two Little Rebels,” was next presented. It was a Civil War play and displayed a terrible misunderstanding between two life-long friends over the sides taken in the war. The Senior Play, the wow of the sea- son, was presented in the American theatre on April 9. The play was an ex- cellent comedy and the parts were very well taken. The cast: Harvey P. Marshall, a permanent hus- band, Joe Pluth. Dr. Gerald Niles, a husband pro-tem, Roy Beadle. Limpy Lannigan, an ex-convict, Rudy Polich. Officer Shea, an affable cop, Dick Brennan. Mary Marshall, an incurable roman- ticist, Margaret Benjamin. Silvia Allen, Mary’s friend, Lettie Alt. Aunt Emmy, Mary’s aunt, Josie Mad- den. Florence Ainslee, Mary’s cousin, Anna Vesel. Stella, a maid, Agnes Woodson. Mary Marshall, w h o has married against her wealthy aunt’s wishes, is surpr'sed by a telegram stating that Miss Paisley will arrive that evening for a short visit. Mary, whose habit of exag- gerat:on has plunged her into many dif- ficulties, has misrepresented her home and financial state and now finds it necessary to borrow most of her home furnishings from her next door neigh- bors. She hires a maid and butler from an employment agency and as the butler proves to be a doubtful character she thrusts this position upon her husband, then due to pressing circumstances, has to borrow' a husband. The complications which arise from these events are climaxed when Willie, the baby, is thought to be stolen. The play ends happily, however, with Aunt- ie’s property transferred to Willie, “who looks for all the world like Grandpa Paisley.” Frisky Freddie and his Frivolous Fol- lies made quite a hit. The lovely chorus ladies, senior boys, tall and thin, with round and dimpled legs, did a dashing bit of foot-work while Roy Beadle sang. Anita Oliver caused a good deal of neck cran ng between the second and third acts, when, in the costume of an old lady, she walked up the aisle and on the stage and danced and sang. The Harmonica Boys gave several numbers and furnished music for Anita’s stunt. Two preliminary declamatory contests were held February 14 and 15. The read- ings were well given and there was much keen competition. The five highest were chosen each night and these ten competed in the finals on March 8. Agnes Woodson, being the holder of first place, wall enter the state contest at Missoula during the track meet there in May. Several short plays are being worked up now by the public speaking classes to be presented late in the semester. The May Day festival is also under way and will be presented Patron’s Day. RODEO — 1929 31 Rocking, Ckair Philosophy1 By LETTIE ALT The essay given below was ranked fifth in the preliminary state ex- temporaneous essay contest held March 7. This essay gave the writer the privilege of going to Bozeman to compete in the final contest in which she was ranked sixth. The contests are held every year under the aus- pices of Montana State College at Bozeman. “CQUEAK, Its song squeak, squeak, squeak,” has echoed in my memory for many years. The squeak must have developed before I was born, for as far back as I can remember, it has always been the same squeaky, creaky, rocking chair that it is today. It is an old chair, now. My mother loves to tell about the time that she and my father received it. They were leav- ing their old home to come to Montana and she says the neighbors were so glad to see them go that they gave them a farewell surprise party and threw in the chair for good measure. The surprise party, like most surprise parties, turned out not to be a surprise. My folks knew about it almost as soon as the rest. The self-invited guests were to meet at a school house not far from my parents’ home and they heard them arriving there. My father went outside and yelled to them to come over. Well, even if the party wasn’t a surprise, at least the chair was. The old rocking chair seems like one of the family to me. It has been a play- thing for my sister and me ever since we started to play. Sometimes we put pillows and blankets in it and then it was a handsome baby cradle. At other times it has been the front seat of a beautiful automobile. Sometimes it has played a more humble role, and turned over so that it rested its arms on the floor, it made an ideal dog house. to jeer, “See, see, see, see, your moth- er is rocking someone else. Tee hee, maybe she likes that baby better than she does you, tee hee.” At least, I thought it was the chair that said it. Maybe it was just the little demon, “Jeal- ousy,” putting its ugly words to the sweet music of the chair. He likes to tease one. Jealousy is easily encouraged, and hard to snubb. He causes people a great deal of misery. When I grew older, I liked to rock myself in the chair. It was most pleas- ant, when night was coming on, to sit in the chair in the enclosing shadows, shut my eyes, and rock back and forth, back and forth, while my thoughts wan- dered where they would. Most of the time my mind was occupied with dreams, but occasionally I got down to really serious thinking. I used to wonder a good deal above the world. This was before I studied geography. I was cer- tain it was flat. Why shouldn’t it be? It looked that way. I hadn’t yet learned that most things look like what they aren’t, and aren’t what they appear to be. I was afraid, too, that if I took too long a walk, some day I would come to the edge of the world and fall off. The thought of leaving the world, even by falling, wasn’t so bad, but where would I go? If all around the earth were merely air, would I keep on falling for- ever? It was a very terrifying thought. I can’t seem to remember the time that my mother rocked me to sleep in that chair, but I can remember when she rocked my sister to sleep. I was so easy to drop off to sleep, listening to that soothing “creak, creak, creak.” Later, when we were too big to be rocked, my mother would rock the neighbor’s child- ren. Somehow or other, the squeak didn’t sound as pleasant then. It took on more of a mocking tone and seemed What would happen to me if a lion should eat me up, was another terrible worry. I was afraid of that. I wanted to go to heaven so bad and I didn’t see how I could go to heaven if I were all eaten up. To me, the soul was some- thing inside the body. Therefore, it would disappear along with the rest of me if I were eaten up. My soul worried me a great deal. It was something that just was, but no one could tell me any- 32 RODEO — 1929 thing about it. They say that children are more likely to believe things that seem impossible than adults, but some- how or other I never could believe in anything I could not see. That is un- fortunate for me for the most important things in life—Faith, Love, Happiness, and Friendship, are all of the unseen. Many times I have wished that chair could talk. It was new when we got it, but it must have had some history before it was made into a chair. Where did the tree grow from which it was made? Probably in some great forest. Maybe not, though. Maybe it was an old, old oak that grew on a beautiful farm. It was beloved by the whole fam- ily. Then things began to go wrong. Money was need and they had to cut down the tree and sell it. Some day, I suppose the rocking chair will fall to pieces and have to be thrown out. The rockers have been broken and mended. In fact, one of the rockers is from another chair. It doesn’t match the other very well, the chair rather resembles a man with a wooden leg, but still it does its duty. Never the less, it can’t last forever. Some day its end will come. It is showing its age. The varnish is all off and it’s getting silvery. Its disposition is getting rather touchy. If I sit with my legs curled up under me, I’ll surely find three or four runners in my stockings. Probably some day one of us will be sitting in the chair rocking, rocking, rocking, when smash, the thing will break down and its career will be ended. I shall surely miss that old rocking chair. The Lonely Road A little road Ran up a hill. It bent and turned And then stopped still. And so it left Them all behind, And up this little Hill had climbed. There was no house Or dwelling near, Nor sound of people Did I hear. Alone there it Could rest in bliss But, Little Road, Great joys you miss. I wonder why It had stopped there, Did not go on And lead somewhere. The joy of leading To a place Where loving hands And cheerful face I guess it tired Of other roads, Of wagons carrying Heavy loads. Give beauty to A spot called “Home.” You lead not back Tired feet that roam. You only know, Here near the sky, The steps of wanderers Such as I. —Letty Alt RODEO — 1929 33 m . _-d 1 Football Lineup, 1928 Dick Brennan, Captain Dick Brennan..............................Left Half Frank Vesel..............................Right Half Tony Vesel.........................Quarterback Stanley Polich........................Fullback Emir Castle................................End Johnnie Ashment............................End Alvin Jensvold..........................Tackle James Copp..............................Tackle Oscar Lindgren...........................Guard Joe Fanyak..............................Guard Elmer Moss..............................Center Bill Clinton.........................Substitute — RODEO— 1929 35 Football THIS year Roundup had a football team that depended entirely upon its aer- ial attack and speed for scoring. With Rudy Polich ineligible and Edward Tressl out of school, it seemed as though we had little left to make a good eleven. Coach Townsend had to draw from light weight material to make up the squad. Dick Brennen was elected Captain of the team. Dick Brennen, Stanley Polich, and Johnny Ashment were the only let- termen on the team, the rest being all this season’s products. The first school to go down to the Maroon and White was Winnett. The local boys ran circles around the tall rangy lads from the oil city, who wex-e beaten by a score of 30 to 7. The next game Roundup met their Waterloo when they clashed with the Billings Broncs. In the first quarter Roundup unleashed a set of trick plays and passes that literally made their op- ponents dizzy. The score was 46 to 0 but the game was a much closer and better one than the score would indicate. In looking over this season’s grid battles this game can easily be considered the best of the season. October 17, Roundup and Klein, time honored rivals in all school activities, met for their first game of the season on the Northside field. Klein went down to defeat before the onslaught of the fighting Roundup eleven, the score standing 19 to 0 at the end of the game. Surprising their confident supporters, the Maroon and White gridsters allowed the Harlowton aggregation to take their measure, the home team being defeated 12 to 0. This proved to be the only game in which their light weight was a serious handicap.' Due to the rain and snow the gridiron was a sea of mud and when the light Roundup men tried to make end runs they were tackled before they could get under way. Seven days later the Maroon and White emerged victorius over the Lew- istown eleven, the score being 13 to 6. The teams were evenly matched which made the game quite interesting. Klein took a second beating when they met Roundup, November 3, for their re- turn game. The Miners received the ball at the beginning of the game and took it over Roundup’s goal line in one complete run. They failed to annex their extra point. The high school scor- ed both of their touchdowns in the third quarter. Big Timber forfeited their game for November 17, and by mutual agreement the game with Winnett was called off.

The largest part of the team was made up of Seniors. Dick Brennen and “Babe” Krueger were the only letter men on the squad. Dick Brennen was made captain. Although we lost the first game of the season, which was a poor way to start, we end- ed up in good shape. Out of eighteen games that were played, Roundup lost1 but four. Two of the games were lost to Forsyth, which is out of our district, and two to Klein. The Maroon and White had a total of 658 points to their opponent’s 314. The first game of the season was with Forsyth. This game was of special in- terest because the Forsyth team was coached by Earl Fahland, former high school coach and member of the faculty, and everyone knew that he was capable of putting out winn ng teams, which fact was demonstrated when the local boys went down in defeat. 1 he next day Roundup got revenge when they slaugh- tered the Musselshell aggregation by a score of 53 to 15. The week following their trip east, the Maroon and White took two more games by large margins from Winnett and Grass Range. December 22, For- syth came to play their return game and once more Roundup bowed down to them. The game was the first to be played on the home floor and the local fans were kept on the edge of their seats thruout the game as the score seesawed back and forth. The game ended with a score of 15 to 12. After the Christ- mas vacation the local squad set fire to Grass Range and burned them up by a score of 48 to 2. January 18 and 25 Roundup met and defeated both Harlow- ton and Winnett respectively by large margins. January 23, Roundup and Klein met and the latter went down to defeat. At the end of the game the score was tied and five minute period was given to play off. Klein failed to make any points while Roundup made five. The score at the end of the game was 27 to 22. The Maroon and White met Har- lowton, Hedgesville and Musselshell on the respective dates, February 2, 3 and 9, and defeated them all by a large ma- jority of points. February 6, Klein was scheduled to play their return game but they called it off because Roundup would not agree to take Dick Brennen off the team. At the sub-district tournament which was held at Harlowton, Klein and Roundup mixed for the championship game, the former took all honors and the silver loving cup which was awarded first place. Lewistown won the district hoop title. Roundup tangled horns for the third time with Klein and were defeated by the latter which gave us fifth place at the tournament. 1928-2!� BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Dec. 7—Forsyth 25, Roundup 18, at Forsyth.

The girls were forced to do without a coach most of the year, but under the able leadership of their captain, Anna Vesel, were able to emerge undefeated during the entire season. This completes a two year schedule without a defeat. The last and most important game of the season wras at Musselshell. Roundup girls were very eager to come out vic- torious as it would be the first team who had this season defeated Musselshell on their own floor. On account of a mis- understanding only half a game was played, the score being 8 to 8. The tie was not played off. The total score made against our hoop- sters was sixty-two, while we scored one hundred and thirty-one points against our opponents. Fifteen Rahs for the team! Lineup: Anna Vesel, forward.

Robert Brissenden: “How about the Fourth of July? WHAT’S A VACATION ? The dictionary says, “An intermission of procedure.” The kids say, “School is out—let's go.” All of us say, “I hope I get one—I sure need it.” All of which reminds me of the story of the mail carrier who saved up his va- cation time for three years and then finally decided on taking a hike through the state lasting a month. Another case is that of a bookkeeper who every year makes arrangements with a street car company to let him have a job as conductor for two weeks. He claims that it’s his only chance to meet a lot of folks and talk to them. In other words for him it’s an “intermission of procedure.” So now that “vacation time” is on us I suppose that this question of vacations is going to be very much mulled over. So far as we are concerned personally I suppose its none of our business to be busting out in advice on this page, much as we like to give same. We would like to say however that never in the history of this country has there been available so great a variety of vacation ideas as is possible in 1929. The excitement of the “Covered Wagon” days are long gone but the lure and pull of the “open road” is still with nearly all of us and no matter what sort of four or eight cylindered wheel barrow you drive, there’s fun and health and thrills aplenty for all of us. - All of which has little or nothing to do with the drug game, but i$- sure an ap- propriate subject to talk about this time of year and is our way of tejiing you that we have hundreds of items in our store intended to make your short'' Qr long trip chuck full of comfort and pleasure and you might as well get ’em VJere.
