RODEO — 1932 13 OFTEN it seems as though the junior year is the most delight- ful of all. The freshmen and sophomore years entail few of the duties of leadership, but also do they carry little of the prestige of maturer think- ing. During the junior year the students real- ize the privileges of upper classmen. This is the first year in which they are allowed to elect two representatives to the Cabinet and to become members of the Rodeo Staff. Jun- iors hold many offices in the various clubs and activities. Their standing is second only to the seniors, but not with the work and re- sponsibilities that face the senior, who is about to go out into the world to seek his own livelihood and make a place in the sun. The junior year is crowded with work, which, of course, should be. It also holds many delightful memories. One can look back with much happiness to the greatest social event of the entire school year—the junior promenade. This year’s promenade was one of special mention, the gym being decorated in a very unusual and novel manner. Beauti- ful orchid streamers trailing down to the floor screened off the dancing space from the rest of the gym. On one side easy chairs, settees, and soft-shaded lamps invited the chaperons and tired dancers. These few pieces of furniture in a beautiful green mark- ed a lovely contrast with the orchid stream- ers. Facing each other on two sides on the floor of the gym were two huge varied- colored fans of crepe paper, outlined in a heavy black paper. The lights shining from behind them caused a soft glow to be cast over all. The ceiling lights were decorated likewise with orchid streamers suspended from them down to the floor. At the other side a table placed before a screen covered wi.h orchid crepe paper was a scene of much activity as the thirsty ones wended their ways to the table for a drink of delicious punch. The cleverly made invitations and programs are two much-prized souvenirs of this event- ful occasion. A junior eagerly looks forward to the time when he shall be a senior—holding sway in court. Envious though he is, he is the one to be envied. His position is secure for a year, at least, and great is his anticipation of one more term of both work and play at the old high.

RODEO— 1932 15 The Book of I. And it came to pass in the year nineteen hundred and thirty in the month of September that in the land of the Montanans in the city that is called Roundup on the banks of the river Mussel- shell, there entered into the realms of Round- up High School the illustrious class of ’34. 2. And the members of the class spake unto each other saying, “If we are to be a unified group, we must choose leaders who will rep- resent us and direct our affairs.” And they did so. 3. They called to be as their leaders one of the sons of Huppe called Charles, one of the sons of Hill called Otto, and also one of the sons of Greener called LeRoy. 4. And these led this class through the year and saw to it that it was a successful year. 5. And it came to pass that these freshmen entered into the school activities as a body and were well represented in all clubs and organiza- tions. 6. But four of their members individ- ually represented their class. And they were one of the sons of Michalson called Ellis, and one of the sons of Cram called Charles, who placed in the annual declamatory contest. 7. This class was also represented by one of the daughters of Belden named Beth and one of the daughters of Dinsmore named Lea Mae who were in the high-school play. 8. And they arose to glory on the twenty-fourth day of April nineteen hundred and thirty-one when they gave their class dance. 9. And it shall long be told of this class that it was the first class in the history to be welcomed unto the school in this new manner of wel- coming, not scaring the freshmen of the school. II. And it was so that this class advanced, and in the year nineteen hundred and thirty- one became the sophomore class, and again they gathered and spake among themselves and chose again their leaders. One Charles son of Huppe was again chosen to lead them, and as his assistants were selected the two sons of Greener named LeRoy and Lester. 2. And it came to pass that many of this class made names for themselves in the his- tory of the school. 3. A son of Smith named Lester made the team in basketball and so received his letter in that sport. 4. And it came to pass that a daughter of Dinsmore called Lea placed third in the annual declam- atory contest. Three members of this class were chosen for the annual school play and so a son of Roberts named Donald, a daugh- ter of Fletcher called Alice, and a daughter of Dinsmore named Lea represented their class. 5. And it came to pass that members of I his class thereof took part in all other activities which are offered unto them by the school. And in the self same manner the boys of this class won the inter-class basketball championship, and so brought fame unto their class. 6. And there came in the month of December the annual dance given by the sophomore class which proved to be a won- drous success. 7. And so it was that this class ended another year and they spake among each other saying, “We shall continue our activities unto the next year and show this high school here about what a class can really do.”
