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.”

RODEO — 1932 17 Tlie Freshmen August 30—Just came from the coun- 1111$ try. Gee, but this big city is gonna get me. I went up to see the school house. Gosh, I’ll bet it’s even bigger than a skyscroper. September 18—We got our initiation to- day. Boy, more fun! They sure treated us keen. We had a dance after school. I am not such a good dancer. I would be, I guess, but I hate to ask the girls. October 5—Activities started. Some of the freshmen joined the Art Club, the Forensic Club (I joined that), the Girls’ Glee Club, the Girl Reserves; I was on the freshman team in inter-class football and basketball. In basketball did we beat the seniors? Oh boy! Organized our class officers, too: President .................. Roland Ortmayor Vice-President .................. Willie Byrd Secretary and Treasurer ...... Eddie DeFriez Cabinet Representative .. Veneitah Havlik Sponsor ............................... Miss Mathison How’s that for officers? Pretty snazzy, huh ? November 18—High school play. Had two freshmen in the cast: Veneitah Havlik and Dorothy Mae Bunker. Huge success. Also Thanksgiving vacation. Loads of turkey and oh, the stomach aches! December 18—Christmas vacation. Lots of fun. Gee, I hate to go back to the old farm, the folks out there sure ain’t citified. January 8—Freshmen—that’s us—gave their party. Boy! What an affair. It was a leap year party. First one I ever was at. Pretty soft for the boys. I’m awful popular. I got asked for two dances the whole even- ing. February 21—Just got back from the sub- district. We walked away with the tourna- ment. I didn’t know if they caught us or not. February 29—Was at the district tourna- ment at Lewistown. We won that, too. On the way home we had four flat tires in the back seat. More fun! March 18—Went to the state tournament. We didn’t win, but we did good. I didn’t go, because the old bus wouldn’t work. March 20—Spring vacation. Did we go out in the wide open spaces? Didn’t go out to the farm on account of they’re so coun- trified out there. The old bus goes better in the summer than in winter. No city ginks! March 30—Preliminaries of the declama- tory contest. Some of the freshmen got in the finals: Cres Pigot, Melba Mitchell, Billy Mc- Lean. Had to stay after school so I couldn’t go. Boy, am I a cut-up? April 1—Boys’ Glee Club operetta. It was sure good. All about aeroplanes. “Up in the Air,” was the name of it. I gotta new girl, so I’m up in the air most of the time, too. I be- lieve I’m in love. No puppy love either! April 4—Finals of the declamatory con- test. Betty Eiselein won. She sure did good. She had a piece that had a little kid in it. That appealed to me. April 29—Girls’ Glee Club put on “Once in a Blue Moon.” Gee, it was good! Lots of things this month, wasn’t there? That re- minds me, the Blue Moon burned down. That was a dance hall on Main Street. May 6—The pageant and Patron’s Day. Also our “big parade” of the high school came today, too. Gee, they had me King of May. Everyone laffed, but it couldn’t have been at me, could it? I sure was flattered! And how! May 13—Seniors gave the “Hop” to pay the Juniors back for the Prom. It was a swell affair, too. Took my girl, but we didn’t dance much. After the dance we had a big fight. Now we don’t go together any more. My heart is broken. But gosh! Am I a lady killer? That’s the fifth girl I’ve had this year. But I’m thru with women. I’m going back to the farm. I guess I wasn’t in love at all. May 29—Am out home in the country again. This has been a great school year, but I’m glad to be on the ranch again. Dad and mom are pretty nice people, even if they don’t have all the city ways.
