Life is not life at all without c?elight. i LEST WE FORGET September 3, 1933. Today school reopened for another year. The old school house, which stood so stolidly all sum- mer, was filled with the laughter and voices of the students. The classes were so large that an extra room was needed to seat the freshmen boys. September 17. At dismissal time, Mrs. Hulstone stood with her hand heTcf high for silence. ’’Will all the freshmen report to room three for the election of class officers? A general mad rush ensued. However with no casualties, all ar- rived in room three and election proceeded. John Sekulich was chosen president; Chester Brychta, vice-president; and Myrtle Overend, secretary. September 18. A gener-al assembly was called. To some it meant a study period lost; to others it was a class missed; but to the freshmen it was the day of doom. The poor unfort- unate victims were led up on the stage and commanded to go through humiliating ordeals. They sang, danced, recited or did anything that they might be capable of. The star act was a square dance performed by the youths from the rural districts. The orchestra consisted of two harmonica players and an ac- cordian genius. The freshman dance was held tonight after the initiation. A large representation from all the classes was present. Each of the students who knew how to dance, played the good angel and attempted with patience to teach those inexperienced in the art. Extra attractions were presented by the Freshies linear the directorship of Miss Friberg. 1934—35 September 18, 1955. The old class is back again this year now as the sophomores. Some have fallen by the wayside and others have entered the ranks. There doesn’t seem to be much prevailing among the class, but that’s a characteristic common to all sophomores. However all mustered up enough energy to choose the class officers, electing Tana Beever, president; Ada Jarrett, vice-president; and Gertrude Fawcett, treasurer. January 28. It's a great life if you don't weaken, and no one is weakening; in fact, with clubs, sports and the sopho- more dance all seem to have regained a little of the old vim and vigor. I really think there will be enough enthusiasm to carry the sophomores the rest of the year. 1935—36 September 20. The epidemic of sleeping-sickness which seemed prevalent among the sophomores last June is completely obliterated. The junior class of ’35 was eager to organize and prepare for the many activities of full fledged juniors. Today a lively meeting resulted in the election of the fol- lowing class officers: Tana Beever, president; Bud Herzog, vice-president; and Joe Rife, treasurer. May 10. Different occurrences in the past few days have aroused the curiosity of a great number. Why the sudden rush to beauty shops? Why are the students all outfitting them- selves in new togs? There must be something in the air. Majr 12. Oh, Sweet Mystery of Life, at last I’ve found you. Social activities of the year were climaxed by the Jun- ior Banquet, given in honor of the seniors. Yes, this is the answer to all the peculiar activities of the past few days. The juniors and seniors donned their new clothes and presented themselves at the banquet in the best of fashion. All were thankful to volunteers from the sophomores who waited on the tables. During the course of the evening there were a number of speeches, a class will read, and imitations given by some of the students. 1936 — 1937 September 3. 1936’.’ Oh: Success at lost. The long wait- e -or moment when the seniors take their places as leaders of the school has arrived. Swiftly but with dignity they file m and take their places in the seats near the windows. They peer with unconcern over on the other side of the room and think to themselves, Could the great senior that I am now once have been an insignificant freshman? M rch 30 During the last few months a number of import- at senior meetings have been held. The first was the election of officers. Tana Beever was chosen as president; Charles SeJculich, vice-president; and Howard Bunker as student body chairman; and Roberta Mclntire as secretary-treasurer. The second was for the purpose of choosing rings, cards, and announcements. This year for the first time the seniors were allowed to have rings with colored stones or of solid gold. At another meeting a class motto, color, and flower were chosen and recently nominees for May Queen were selected. Hoping that the record of these past events will keep the memory of your school yeers always fresh in your mind I remain, Your chronicler, Ti JTJNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Billy Jens James Holland Helen Wier Stacia Marcinkowski. . .

I 0 N I 0 R s 1934-35 Freshmen Once more dated freshmen are Tendering through the hells of Roundup High School, looking questioning] at all door numbers, and too often entering senior classes. In a short time these lone wanderers noticed that they needed to band themselves together. In imitation of the other classes they assembled and elected Ray Dela- m ter, president; Leslie Bloom, vice-president; Stacia Marcinkowski, secretar--treasurer. Soon afterwards they were initiated as real members of Roundup High School and were ready to participate in school affairs. The freshmen representative in It Happened In Hollywood was Dorothy Mitchell, who took the part of Polly O'Connor, comedian. It is said two people fell out of their seats at her performance. George Thomas, Eddie Charlton, and Billy Jens became basketball and football players and 'went out for track. 1935-36 Sophomores When school began in 1935 the two-year olds, with a complete knowledge of door numbers—and many other things—were ushered into the second section of assembly seats. There was another crop of freshmen to interrupt classes. Class officers were Ray Dolamater, president; Billy Jens, vice-president- Jirany Murphy, secretary-treasurer: and Peggy Caine, cabinet member. This year the all-high-school play was The Tower Room Mystery. Sophomores in it were Ray Delamater, Susan Pigot and Dorothy Mitchell. The same three boys were in all sports. 1936- 37 Juniors The present juniors, who are now seated very near the seniors, hc-ve taicen on a more sophisticated air. It is hard to believe that these girls, who take great pleasure in coming to school with their hair in curls and their lips exceedingly red, and these bcrys, who are now beginning to wear white shirts and every now and then a tie, were the very timid freshmen of two short years ago. Indeed this polished group is now well fitted to sponsor the outstanding social event of the year, the banquet given in honor of the graduating class of 1937. The class is still active in all school affairs. Bette Gilcteoy and the ! ctors of the sophomore year appeared in Take Off Those Whiskers. Elton Roberts is now added to the list of football and basketball players. • � � SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS Joe Vranish ...................

A B INET Stacia Marcinkowski Katherine Daer Tana Beever Helen Mclntire Ruth Simpson Marian Pierce Chester Belden Ray Delamater Howard Bunker Paul Dye Billy Jens Joe Vranish Mrs. Hulstone, Sponsor On Monday afternoon as the familiar, Cabinet in room two, echoes through the assembly, twelve serious, capable, and industrious pupils silently and quickly move across the hall and seat themselves, prepar- ing for action. Not a word is said, not a sound is made until the ques- tion of the day is presented. Nervous fingers reach upward and rumple a head of hair. Frowns of perplexity spread across the faces of twelve people. Suddenly a light flickers in the mind of the boy in the first row. A smile crosses his face. Ah, at last an idea. Everyone sits tense waiting for the pre- sentation of the suggestion. The suggestion is made. Is it a good one? Everyone seems to agree that it is, at least it is the best anyone can think of now. All those in favor raise their hands. All are in favor. By this time the hands of the clock have turned to indicate the time is 4«45. Everyone sits on the edge of his chair waiting to be dismissed. After a minute of anxious anticipation the meeting is adjourned, and twelve people try to go through the door at the same time. This is typical of a Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet is a group of twelve elected pupils including the student body chairman, the yell leaders, class presidents, two repre- sentatives from the senior and junior classes, and one representative. from both the sophomore and freshman classes. This organization is under the sponsorship of Mrs. Hulstono. The main purpose of the high school Cabinet is to act as an advisory board to the principal ;cnd, so far as possible, to give the principal the student view point on affairs of interest to the high school at large. The Cabinet is also responsible for certain programs and enter- tainments in the course of a school year. Programs were given in honor of Columbus Day, October 12 Pioneer Dry, November 1; Armis- tice Day, November 11; Lincoln's Birthday, February 12; Washington's Birthday, February 22; Arbor Day, second Tuesday in May; Patron's Day, first Friday in May; the Cabinet also spons.red s carnival for the entertainment of the student body. The boys in this organization deserve commendation for their work in soliciting money for the tournament trophies. The Pep Club v as organized three years ago at the request of junior and senior girls for the purpose of promoting school spirit, and supporting and advertising all high school functions. The student body benifits from the accomplishments of this active group c score of times during the year. The club achieves its aims by numerous activi- ties; speeches, assembly programs, demonstrations, drills at games, and sponsoring dances for the girls of the school. -0- Roundup High School is surrounded with ny story to-day. Roundup is to play an important game and the students know that before every game there is a pep meeting. They madly push and crowd their w:y into the assembly and scramble for their seats. A hush falls as the stage curtains are drawn, revealing the st ige set like a broadcasting station. There are students representing Amos and Andy, Bob Burns, Halter Win- chell, the Boswell Sisters and the ahnouncer. A broadcast, publicizing the dope on the personal lives of the players, is an appropriate program before the boys leave for the State Tournament. -0- Miss Williams steps forward and gives the information that the girls have a new song. Tho Pep Club girls dressed in maroon slacks and white blouses, sing it first and then the assembly join in. Our favorite songs and yells follow. Mrs. Hulstone informs us which period will be omitted. Some greet this announcement with cheers of approval and others with cries of dismay. There is a mad scramble as books are collected and students hurry to their daily routine. The bell rings; all is quiet and we sit and think that a pep meeting more often could do no harm.

Sponsor BOYS' HOME ECONOMICS CLUB On a Tuesday afternoon late in September, a group of eighteen boys were seen marching in the direction of the home economics room. This put the girls in a very curious mood. Compacts shut with a bang, anc stealthy footsteps approached the closed door. Through it the girle heard Miss Gould's clear, resounding voice: The purpose of the club is to prepare you for the future, either to make a successful husband or a competent bachelor. The first lesson is —. The voice stopped abruptly. This put the spies in action. Through the key-hole they spotted Bill Dorris, with the aid of a light globe, conscientiously darning a hole in his favorite red woolen stocking. This was enough gossip for the girls for an entire week. The accomplishments of the club did not end there, hov.ever. The next veek John Nation showed unusual, unkown talent by demonstrating to his fellow members the correct manner to press trousers and wash sweaters. Such activities continued throughout the year. One day much later in the season, black clouds of smoke made their way into the hall, which hurriedly' sent the girls again to the closed door. Inside they' hec rd Julius Katana saying in an angry voice, Of all the luck—just when I had pictured that pie in my mouth, I would have to forget it in the oven. This event initiated the cooking unit, which included the preparation and eiting of bis- cuits, muffins, pies, meats, and desserts, as a climax, an elaborate breakfast was prepared. These samples ure only a few of the many domestic activities which these boys have accomplished. Such training is sure to quali- fy the members for competent husbands. For the benefit of interested girls the roll is given below.

Had he looked in, he would have seen a number of students sitting around the front of the room and holding in their hands all manner of odd-looking instruments. Some were blowing on them, their cheeks puffed out like balloons and looking as though they were about to burst a blood vessel. Others were sawing back and forth with all their might, and the perplexed and determined expressions on their faces would have provided ex- cellent material for a caricaturist. Bruce Hamilton in particular attracted attention. He was slumped back in his chair until he was sitting on his shoulder blades and tooting away on his trumpet like Gabriel on the Judgment Day, meanwhile tapping his size tens on the floor to keep time. Standing before the group was none other than the petite public speaking teacher, Miss Gillespie, waving a slender stick and shouting instructions; such as, Don’t speed; louder; soft- er; cuti All this time much sound, a little discordant at times, but on the whole musical, was coming from room twenty-three. The interested observer would have probably guessed that this was the high school orchestra, about which there had been so many rumors, and his guess would have been substantiated by its later ap- pearances before the assembly during special programs, between acts at the plays, and in connection with the Pep Club at basketball games. He would have noted a great improvement as the weeks went on, due to the fact that every Tuesday night they meet for an hour after school to practice. In addition to high school students, the orchestra is composed of members of the Junior High School Orchestra.

One of these is the Christmas program. This consists of many Christmas carols sung in order of their origin. The other event of the year is the annual glee club operetta. This year it was Sunbonnet Girl. The story features a contest for scholarships in music. The musical heroine, who is be- ing held as a drudge by the Scroggs' family, is almost cheated out of her chance to participate, but is befriended and is given a last min- ute chance to appear. She not only wins the scholarship but receives a proposal of marriage and learns that she is rich. The story ends happily for all except the villains. The girls who played the princi- pal parts and the boys who assisted them were as follows: Miranda, Eiram and Mrs. Meadows' daughter. . .Destyn Ferris Mrs. Meadows, President of the music club. . .Lois Harper Luella Lumpton, a village maiden................Mary Loughlin Evalina, Abijah and Mrs. Scroggs' daughter . .Ruth Dinsmore Reuben McSpavin, the constable’s son...........Howard Bunker Ezra McSpavin, the village constable............John Nation Mrs. Coleman, a wealthy natron of music. . . .Betty Acton Bob Coleman, her son...........................Howard Berkley Barbara Coleman, her daughter...................Helen DeFriez jerry Jackson, Bob's chum......................Claude Murphy Susan Clifton, the Sunbonnet Girl..............Violet Wood Mrs. Scroggs, Abijah's better half.............Waneta Van Laethem Abijah Scroggs, Susan's guardian................Fred Rolls Sadie Simpkins, another village maiden . . . .Eloise Sprague Other members who participated in Alice Ann Matzke Wanda Lee Bolin Ethel Larson Jeanne Le Claire Della Willis Verna Wildin Alda Metzer Catherine McLoughlin Francis Vranish both programs were: Lorraine Adolph Donna McCleary Eleanor McCleary Marian McKiernan Edna Harper Louise Harmon Map Anderson Betty Formento Joycelyn LaPierre Wanda Geelhart Miss Buck, Sponsor TAKE OFF THOSE WHISKERS The annual high school play, Take Off Those Whiskers, was Presented on November ninth and tenth. When Laura Lee, an obscure actress, voluntarily disappeared in an attempt to gain publicity, she never dreamed what compli- cations would follow in the wake of her escapade. Perhaps nothing would have come of it had her departure from the Pomeroy house not been observed by Betty Brown and her boy-friend, Jimmie—and if two days later her frantic friends had not offered $5,000 re- ward for her recovery. For when Betty and Jimmy read the news, they decided to solve the mystery themselves. So, nosing as a maid, Betty gained entrance into the Pomeroy home and, aided by Jimmie, proceeded to track down clues and make all manner of pre- posterous deductions. But the discovery of Laura in her mountain cabin by Eddie, Betty’s brother, soon put an end to all the mys- tery, and the play ended happily for all.

He seeks refuge in a girls’ academy and while there exchanges places with Percival Court- wright, the substitute professor, who is very much in need of some fun. Then his troubles really begin. He meets Patty Pat- terson, a young girl whom he had already met in Paris. Jimmy Anderson and four young students help to add to his troubles.

Several novelty num- bers were staged, among which was e lemon dance. The object of the contest was to see which couple could remain on the floor the longest time without having the lemon when the music ended. Altogether the freshmen were really given a warm wel- come. A few days before Hallowe’en the sophomores entertained the students at a dance. All the colors and stunts which go with Hallowe'en were used. From a large net near the ceiling, which was loosed at a certain time in the course of the evening, dozens of colored balloons floated down on the dancers. The juniors geve their dance at the time of the semester examinations. Even though it was to have been a break in the usual routine, the little red schoolhouse with its geographies, slates, and blackboards vias featured. Even if this was the main idea, the fun had by all was not lessened any. Offen House Friday night, April 9, was a gay occasion for the high school. The gymnasium was the scane of an open house sponsored by the Cabinet. Many varied carnival amusements were featured with a lot of prizes for the winners. For the benefit of some who wished to dance, one half Of the gym was roped off and an orchestra fur- nished music throughout the eveninv. Ice cream bars, soda pop, and hamburgers were just the right fbod for those who are always hungry. The evening’s entertainment was climaxed by the awarding of s grand prize to the person who carried sway with him the most prizes. Philip Acton was the lucky winner and received a large box of choQolates for his accomplishments. Co-ed Dance On Friday night, Aoril 16, the Pep Club girls under the lead- ership of Miss Williams sponsored the third annual co-ed fiance A high percentage of the girls attended this dance. Girls pro- ficient in dancing dressed in boys' clothing and helped those who had not yet learned, leaving no wallflowers. The dancing was in- terrupted by a short program. At the end of the evening’s enter- tainment, pop, ice cream, and cake were served. SOCIAL ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED) £ n u Picnics and Parties Other pleasant social events of the year were the theater p«rty and lunch given by Mrs. Hulstone for the office girls, the spring picnics which the freshman class and girls'Pop Club enjoyed, and the matinee dance, sponsored by the sophomore girls for all the girls of the school. Junior Prom The Junior-Senior banquet is the affair which is looked forward to all year, in fact through all four years. This year, on Saturday evening, May 15, the gymneeium, effectively decorated in lavender and white, was the scene of this affair and was filled with gay boys and girls dressed in their best togs. The theme of the banquet was the Junior Hit Parade. All the speeches and ports of the program wero given titles of popular songs of the season. The place cards and favors were in the form of small souvenir booklots made to resemble sheet music. They contained the menu, the program, and the words to the songs sung during the banquet. All the usual formality was drop- ped and the affair proved to be truly a pleasurable one for the ap- proximately one hundred students and teachers who attended. Senior Sneak Day Even in April we have heard many hushed whispers about Sneak Day. Where it will be, when it will be, nnd what is going to be done still remains a deep secret. Perhaps in a week or two the mystery will be exposed and the great event will take place. At any rate, we know we will have one, and wo arc assured that we will have a good time, no matter where or when it is, because there is so much fun involved in being the favored group who get this privilege. R. E. S. EXPRESSES APPRECIATION (CONTINUED) School Electrician When Mrs. Hulstone marches up to Bill Dorris’s desk, it is al- most certain that we are either having a program or the bells are not working. He goes into the office, sticks a piece of paper in the little white button so the bell will not interrupt the program and returns to the assembly. After the program, he removes the paper and regulates the bells. This task is done so unobtrusively that its importance may be overlooked. Artists When speaking of Roundup High School students who do much work for the school without receiving much loud praise, the names of Julius Katana and Dorothy Mitchell should top the list. Those two young artists are called upon countless times during the year to assist different activities in preparation of advertising. ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS A review of the school year 1936-1937 reveals a variety of very pleasant assembly entertainments which have served so successfully to break the monotony of regular class room work. For the programs prepared by the student-body, most of the credit goes to two organizations, the Girls Pep Club and the High School Cabinet. Other student entertainments were the Girls’ Glee Club program presented at Christmas time and the advertisement of plays and operettas. The Girls’ Pep Club has sponsored perhaps a dozen programs during the year. These were given before basketball and football games and have included group participation by the girls. The Cabinet has sponsored all special programs throughout the year. This group has managed to obtain the best talent from the whole student body for these programs, and a large percentage of students have aided. Only an outline of the special day programs follows. Cabinet Sponsors Special Day Programs On October 12 a group of students presented a short skit in honor of Columbus Day. They reenacted the exciting drama of Columbus’ eventful life. The action started the day Columbus receiv- ed the jewels from Qucon Elizabeth and continued with him on his long journey to America. Upon reaching land, telephoning Elizabeth of his discovery, and buying a model T ford, the climax was reached--and so the play was ended. November was the occasion to celebrate Fioneer Day, and this was observed in true pioneer fashion. Cowboy hats, chaps and boots add- ed to the setting, and an old-fashioned square dance sent the stage rocking. A story was read about the life of an early pioneer, and another about the present-day pioneers in the field of research. The main feature was the interpretation of ”I'm an Old Cowhand. On Armistice Day, representatives from the Local American Legion Auxiliary assisted the Cabinet in the presentation of the program. Patriotic songs were sung and interesting talks of the war were given. February--On the occasion of Lincoln's birthday, a general as- sembly was again called to pay tribute to this great man. Several amusing stories concerning events in Lincoln’s political life were told, and patriotic songs, including Lincoln’s favorite, Dixie were sung. The song, Here Comes the British opened a very brief program in observance of the anniversary of George Washington's birth. The only other feature on this program was a short skit relating to the well known Cherry Tree story. Arbor Day, on May 11, was observed with appropriate exercises, and special emphasis stressed the economic and social need of-trees. ; 'dup'ont • DANGER : == ‘ 1 — ATSstis _ = —-----------------.-.r., . rl.. 3—_ ASSEMBLY PROGRAMS (Continued) Speakers Introduce Interesting Subjects Roundup High School has been fortunate enough to have several messages brought from persons outside the school. Early in the fall, Reverend Olson, a chaplain for boys reformatories, spoke in detail of cases he had observed in his work. He warned the assembly how a criminal life is started and stressed the necessity of being honest in matters of even slightest importance. The appeal was especially forceful. During the we� k of the Christian Mission, two local ministers. Reverend Shinall and Reverend Ortmayer, and Reverend Engdahl from Lav- ina brought a message in keeping with the spirit of the week in the form of songs and brief talks. Early in the fall the state fire chief and Mr. Kibble, a local fireman, talked on the subject of fire prevention. They gave in- stances of how fires are caused by carelessness and negligence, and cautioned against many things that are commonly done. In April, a representative from the School of Mines discussed the importance of industry in daily life, pointed out the possibil- ities for careers in this line of work, and recommended the School of Mines as an institution fitted to give proper training. Radio Vitalizes World Events The radio has given valuable and pleasant help in bringing im- portant programs to R. H. S. During the World Series Baseball Games, the students and teachers were privileged to listen to their favor- ites conquer or be conquered. These broadcasts provided much en- thusiasm among the baseball fans. At the time of the abdication of the Duke of Windsor, the radio enabled the students to listen to the impressive ceremony from London. The radio also brought our own Inauguration ceremony, with all its special color to the student body. Lyceum Features Varied Talent In the course of the school year, the Northwest Assemblies pre- sented a series of six programs. These features included a wide range of interests and showed-some splendid talent. Programs pre- senting varied types of music, impersonations, sleight of hand ma- neuvering and recounting of a stirring exploration trip to Africa were finally climaxed by a splendid and complete puppet show. Grizzlies Give Concert One of the most pleasant occasions of the year—especially to the girls—was the concert given by the Grissly Band from the state univ- ersity. Not only did this event bring good music to the school, but also a bit of collegiate atmosphere that was very pleasing. VV is v Ul IMPROVEMENTS ARE MADE Among the improvements around the school building this year, those more noticeable are in the library and board-room. In the library the book-cases heve been enamelled as well as the magazine rack and benches. The colors used were cream and light green which make the library much lighter and a better place to work in. The tables have been sandpapered and varnished. In the board-room a complete house-cleaning job was done. The walls were kalsomined a light color, the woodwork painted, and in addition, the furniture was sandpapered and enamelled black with red trimmings. These two projects were done by N. Y. A. students under the supervision of Mrs. Hulstaae and Miss Alexander. The new stage curtains have added much to the attractiveness of our assembly. These deep maroon curtains are of heavy velvet. The money for their purchase was made by the school through extra curricular activities; namely, the annual high school plays. Perhaps you have been wondering why so many students have been flocking to the library this past winter. The reason is that an unusually large number of books were purchased last fall. In addition to one hundred twenty-five volumes for general reading, a complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica and two large Webster dictionaries have beep placed on the shelves. One of the highest honors that can bd bestowed upon a member of the fairer sex is to be chosen as an office girl. These girls are Mrs. Hulstone’s helpers, and are personally selected by her. However, the selected girls do give much quiet service to our school._ It is their duty to attend to much of the business in the office, such as checking attendance, answering the telephone, and various other odd jobs. They may even be called high school hostesses in that they must receive all callers at school, both socicland business, local and out-of-to’ n. Theirs is a responsible position, and the girls must be congratulated on the way they assume it. This year’s offioe girls are Betty Jean Acton, Roberta Mclntire, Wilma Bartlett, Eleanor McCleary, Dorothy Miller, Violet Wood, Dorothy Mitchell, and Eloise Roberts. The student body and teachers of the Roundup High School all express their heartiest thanks to Ralph Swingle for the use of the radio with which we were able to listen to the World Series games, the Presidential Inauguration, and the abdication of the Duke of Windsor from the English throne. R. H. 3. EXPRESSES APPRECIATION OFFICE GIRLS RADIO SERVICE JLJL PATRONS' DAY May Queen is Crowned Friday, May 7, was the day set aside this year for the annual May Day Celebration and Patrons' Day. On this morning the formal coronation of the May Queen took place in the high school auditorium. An elaborately decorated bower was arranged on the stage, where Violet Wood, gorgeously attired in a peach gown, was crowned Queen of the May. she was attended by Della Willis, Eloise Roberts, and Rose Sos, dressed in long gowns of pastel shades. Roses were pre- sented to the queen. After the coronation, a program was given which included a novelty boxing match. The special feature of the program was Coach Marshall's presentation of the letters to the boys for their out- standing accomplishments in basketball and football. The track letters were not awarded at this time because the track program was not yet completed. The program fittingly ended with the singing of the newly adopted school song with the Girls’ Pep Club as leaders. May pay Pageant Is Enacted The main event of the afternoon was the pageant, which was presented as usual by the girls' physical education classes, under the supervision of Miss Gillespie. The theme of the pageant was Phys- ical Education Then and Now. The introduction to the pageant was between an ancient Grecian scholar and a modern American one. The pageant itself was divided into eight episodes, tracing physical education from early Grecian dancers to the most modern times. Some of these acts included Grecian dancing and gymnastics. Approximately fifty girls took part in the performance. The climax of the after- noon's program was the crowning of the May Queen who was escorted to the throne by four page boys. For the pleasure of the Queen of the May a maypole dance was performed by sixteen girls dressed in long flowing dresses of pastel shades. Projects Are On Display During the day patrons inspected the displays of the mechan- ical drawing classes and of the home economics and commercial depart- ments. Miss Cook’s knitting club also offered a very good exhibit of their work for the year. The home economics classes served tea to the visiting patrons.

Each of these students has an average of above ninety percent. The names are listed alphabetically, not according to rank. Ernesteen Hanley Dorothy Miller Ada Jarrett Lucille Polich Roberta Mclntire Clyde Shaw Football season opened with twenty-six boys coming out for fall| practice. During the course of the season twenty-one remained. Of seven games played the Roundup team won three, lost three and tied one. Melvin Hanley, who came from Oklahoma this year, was elected captain. What the boys lacked in weight they made up for by their fighting spirit. Thirteen of them will bo back again next year. In the fourth quarter of the Roundup—Forsyth gome, Forsyth led 13 to 12 with fifteen seconds to play. Then on the kick-off Winkie Charlton got possession of the ball and made a spectacular 8Q yard run for the winning touchdown. This was possible because of the fine teamwork of his teammates. At the end of the third quarter of the Roundup-Harlowton game, Harlowton led 12 to 6. Roundup got the ball and marched down the field to within twenty yards of the goal. Eddie Charlton, taken out earlier in the game because of an injury, was sent back to help complete the last piny of the game. With his instructions, Winkie Charlton received the ball, faked a pass, and ran around the left end for the tying touchdown. Same M. Hanley Captain B. Jens G. Thomas E. Charlton M. Sekulich J.

Marshall, have enjoyed an outstanding 1936-37 season. The team won fourteen out of fifteen games in their regular season schedule. They won the three games in which they participated at both the District Tournament at Roundup and the Divisional Tournament at Billings. At the tate Tournament at Great Falls the Panthers climaxed their bril- liant record when they defeated the A Class team of Havre. They lost the B” Class State championship to Cut Bank by a margin of one point. Player Position Weight Height Year Edwin Charlton Guard 165 6’ Junior (Co-captain) As a team of guards, Jens and Edwin were aces. This is the opinion of the best basketball fans. Edwin adds good scoring to his unusual defensive ability. Billy Jens Guard 156 (Co-captain) 6' Junior Pete is as cool a player as Roundup High School has ever pro- duced. His calm deliberation in a crisis insures successful action. Joe Rife Forward 140 5'10£ Senior Joe was ever alert and ready to go places when the ball got into his hand. George Thomas Forward 142 5’10 Junior Thomas holds the distinction of being high—point scoring man through the season. Among forwards he is unusually strong on defen- sive. Wilbur Charlton Center 155 6 Freshman To say the least Winky's basketball wasn’t like a freshman’s. Look out for those Charlton Brothers . Elton Roberts Guard d 177 5 8 Junior Tubby Roberts doesn't let his short stature keep him down. Perhaps his slogan is the higher they are, the higher I jump. Charles Sekulich Forward 140 5’7 Senior Charles was the man sent in at many a crucial moment. He always met the situation and played some of the headiest ball of the season. William Brennan Center 149 6’ Sophomore For a first year of playing, Chickie showed up startlingly well.

Marshall’s lads togan to click and a barrage of baskets sent 'Musselshell County team off the floor with 17 to 5 advantage. Roundup led at the conclusion of the third stanza by 31 to 9 margin. ROUNDUP ENTERS FINALS Wilbur Charlton, Roundup center, broke through the Deer Lodge defense and heaved the ball basketward from way out beyond the foul circle, and Time- keeper, Fred Daylis, sounded the final gun of the regulation playing time. As the report from the revolver echoed across the hall the ball dropped cleanly through the net to tie up the ball game at 18-hll and provide the most thrilling climax of any game to date in the tournament. In the three min- ute overtime period, Roundup, which had trailed from the out- set until Charlton’s last second basket, took a new lease on life and maintained control of the ball the greater part of the three minute over- time, during which George Thomas, Panther(t forward, flipped in the winning basket from a close-in shot. DILLON’S DEFEAT Roundup’s feat of replacing the husky Dillon team as South- ern Division Class B titlist was nothing short of phenomenal. Coach Carl Ross Bea- verhead County five has the identical line up that took the Mon- tana Class B honors a year ago and the man-, ner in which Dillon eliminated St. Ignatius and Lodge Grass brand- ed it as top choice to repeat. Never has a team in four years of tour- ney play here perform- ed so calmly and in such a deliberate fa- shion as did the Round- up five as it played heads-up ball from out- set and erected a de- fensive wall that com- pletely held the us- ually highscoring Dil- lionitas at bay. PONIES’ DEFEAT SURPRISE Roundup’s Pan- thers chalked up the first upset of the tournament by coming from behind in the last half and completely outplaying a highly- touted band of Havre Blue Ponies to win by a score of 17 to 15. It was not a surprise for the large number of spectators who viewed he battle but puzzled the team which won its first northern division lass A title this ■ear.

She pulls her hair, bites her pencil, and the puzzled look, which is characteristic of her, cones upon her. Finally in a disgusted manner she gives up; by giving up we mean she gives the teacher a beautiful smile and crosses to her helping pal, Margaret Ryan. Why are the members of the first year Latin class sitting in their seats with apparently nothing to do? Why simply because it is fifth period and Mrs. Hulstone has forgotten to give then an assignment. But their freedom is shortlived, for a hand appearing at the assembly blackboard, letter by letter spells out their doom. She reclines in her seat, dreaming about the world in general, but mostly about a certain dark young nan. Suddenly she straightens up, grabs a sheet of paper and a pencil, and starts writing fur- iously. Why this sudden energy? Oh, it’s merely Wanda Geelhart with an inspiration for a Rodeo write-up. He squirms around in his seat, trying to find some place to put his long legs. Finally he discovers a comfortable position, and his blond head falls down on his desk. In a few minutes it is up again, and he is scribbling something on a scrap of paper. Then down it goes once more. This up and down performance continues throughout the period. What does it mean? Chickie Brennan is writing some more of his famous poetry. A senior has been reading for twenty minutes without attempting to throw a spitball. This is indeed something to look into. The student is Joe Rife rending the sports page of the paper, and unconsciously looking for his name. She sits at her desk, gnawing on her pencil and pressing the waves deeper into her dark hair. Every few minutes she glances back at a tall young athlete sitting a few seats behind her. As You may pass to the library , echoes through the assembly, she rises and follows her secret flame into that hall of learning. How happy she looks as she walks so close behind hint And with what jcy Terrains Adolph seats herself at a table where she can gaze wcrshipfully at him for the next thirty-five minutes without interruption! (The identity of the secret flame must remain a secret to all unobserving people.) Alyce Nation goes to her seat in the morning as usual, but something about her appearance is lacking. She notices it too. A dashing smile is directed toward Dominic Cinotto, tv o pieces of gun appear and disappear twice as fast, and JLLyoe commences the day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------£j± SNAPSHOTS (continued) A red head and a black head make a practice of training for their careers in the schoolhouse. A few blows are exchanged, the bell rings, and each goes dazedly to his seat. The future Max Schmelling and Joe Louis are Bill Dorris and David Shelver. It is a windy day in March and down in the boys' basement a line is formed in front of the one small looking glass. The future Robert Taylors are getting impatient as George is taking so long to get that one wave just right. Miss Grady stands before her bookkeeping class reading off endless lists of debits and credits. Suddenly her glance falls upon a chubby little fellow in one of the rear seats who has found it impossible to stay awake any longer. Alice, says Miss Grady, with an air which betrays how many times this has happened before, will you please wake Herschel? So Mrs. Kennedy's little girl gives him a gentle nudge and brings the poor boy back to the dis- agreeable state of consciousness. It is after school on V ednesday. Somebody sits in the middle of the room as though he were waiting patiently for a delayed train. Thirty minutes later Dinsy is still sitting there. Don't get discouraged Johnny. Marian will be through with her Rodeo meeting by and by. Whois that little boy roaming around the school corridors and peeking in all the rooms? It must be someone escaped from a kindergarten. Wrong again. It's Johnny, Four Feet-Two, Eyes of Blue , Kowalski out looking for trouble, as usual. Up goes her hand, the study hall teacher nods, and away goes Gertrude to see Marion, who, for some reason, has been seated across the assembly from her. Time elapses and finally she comes back v'ith a triumphant look, for she and Marion have solved their latest problem. The refrain of I'm An Old Cowhand is heard and the 6th period assembly knows that Philip Acton is late. He bangs the entrance door shut, and his boots beat a slow tattoo as he marches to his doom. But, five minutes later, he comes out as spry as ever, and continues his march into the assembly, pleased at the notice he is receiving. As he sits gazing at the new red velvet cuttains, he suddenly bethinks himself of his hair. Accordingly, out comes his comb, and away he goes to work. But no matter how hard he struggles, that one wisp of hair in back just won't stay down. He alternately combs it and pats it for fully five minutes, but at the end of that time it still stands up like so much straw. So with a sigh of dis- gust, Pete Jens returns his comb to his pocket, hitches up his pants, pulls down his sweater, and resumes his inspection of that curtain. A STORY? It happened in HOLLAND. There was a little boy who was a PIGOT the table. When he saw his mother go out to feed HERZOG he called a HUNTER to PIERCE the heart of the hog. The HUNTER walked OVEREND to the WOODS and started to WHITTLE a BOLIN arrow. Meanwhile the pig heard the rumor and said, GOSSMAN.' I'm TOOGOOD for killing. I must get out and RUSSELL some ROLLS and KERNels of corn. The pig, running WILDIN to a LITTLEFIELD, fell over two BANKS and yelled, Great SCOTT, this is HARDELEND. But I must have KORICH and get into LeCLAIRE. Rushing headlong, he METZER HUNTER and said, You don't DAER kill me, this is a HOLLIDAY. The HUNTER said, ESSMAN, that's right, I won't shoot. Let's SCURRY back to the house, I've got my FORD. When they reached the house, the HUNTER went to town and drank a TOMLIN JARRETT; the boy and his mother ate GRAHAM crackers and BARTLETT pears and much apple SOS; and the little pig had a NEWTON of hay and corn on the KALB. NOTE: For interpretation of this story see any member of the Rodeo staff or the English Department. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS SCHOOL The desks are so big our books get lost. Mrs. Fulstone dismisses us too soon because we're too quiet. We have too many periods taken off for extra events. We want to study. The freshmen should have extra privileges because they are so deserving. There are too many waste paper baskets. We can never get them filled. There should be no moving between classes. It causes too much disturbance. There should be no Christmas vacation because we don't be- lieve in Santa Claus. There are too many easy subjects, like physics and solid geometry. The laboratory periods are too long. We get our experiments done before they're half over. Kids don't swipe enough paper. We like to buy for everybody. The pencil sharpeners work too well. We like blunt pencils. Assignments are too short. We like home work. DISILLUSIONMENT Last Saturday, with a woman’s total indifference for a man's business life. Mother gave me a whole page of errands to do. It isn’t enough that I’m on the verge of e nervous collapse from over study during the week but, instead of healthful relaxation on my day off, I must trudge to the butcher, baker, and what not in order to maintain the women of our home in idleness. Among my errands last Saturday was a message to be delivered to the beauty parlor. I've always felt about those places something like Mother says nice girls of her day felt about barber shops. However, since duty forced my step into this unfamiliar place I improved my time looking around. I had a great desire to see that octopus-like machine work, so I seated myself behind a screen where I could see it and where no one could see me. Soon a customer came in. I saw a shock of rather dark hair beneath the waver. An operator was separating wisps of hair and daubing them with dope. Then she seemed to be putting a couple of saddle blankets on that unlucky lock of hair, after which she anchored it to a sort of steel bolt and began to see how tight she could screw it up without the skin giving away. I began to hear sighs and groans. Serves that sap-headed girl right--not being satisfied with the way nature made her, I thought. When the infernal machine was pulled down and clamped on, I actually hoped I’d be able to see a little smoke go up.--I was so disgusted at the brainlessness of women. I Bat there a long time and after while I heard the operator say, That wave certainly does wonders for you: Be sure to wear a net to bed.” Goshl thought I, if women only would get their minds on something serious, maybe the world would—and then (can t ever hope to forget it) marching by me came a pair of number ten oxfords and a pair of dingy cords. FLAMING YOUTH AT FOURTEEN Miss Freshie of 1937------ Mother, please try to remember that things were different in your day. I think’, considering I’m in high school now, I should be able to use c little—0 well, all right then, but Mom, please come down town tonight. There's the sweetest dress—all the girls are just crazy about it------What? Wipe the dishes? Why heavens. Mother, if you could just see the stacks of work I’ve got to do'. They just simply pile the work on ua! We never have a minute to ourselves! Master Freshie of 1937------What . All the hair oil gone? This shoe polish box is empty too. How do you expect a mar� to look decent around here? Can’t Sis press these pants tonight? Say-er- Dad, er-could I get a quarter off you? You see our English teacher always wants us to see things educational and she says this new show----Lessons? 0 no, I can get everything in school easy as pie. TIME MARCHES BACKWARD 1935. A scream echoes through the room, followed by much giggling and suppressed whispering. Suddenly a book crashes down upon a dark head. There, maybe that will teach you not to trip Ruth Mary, says Mr. Dullenty. Billy Taylor glances sheepishly over at the object of his affections, who returns his look with a shy smile, indicating that all is forgiven. 1934. Patrona� Day. Who is that eighth grader, with bangs, short clipped hair up to her ears, and carrying a white pad of paper and a pencil, making a check every so often. It is none other than Dorothy Mitchell, marking down how many pictures she has on the wall, to show Mother and Grandpa. 1934. He stands on the stage, shifting hiB weight from one foot to the other. His red face, made even redder by his embarrassment, is surmounted by a crown of flaming hair. In his hand outstretched be- fore him he holds a slip of paper, which is evidently the cause of his discomfort. He stutters and stumbles as he attempts to read what is written on that paper. His voice is now a boy soprano, now a frog- gy baritone. Yes, your guess is right—Royal Hcwthorne on Initiation Day. 1934. A hand beckons from the chair between the sliding doors. A curly-headed, chubby little blond, Ruth Driscoll, walks meekly for- ward. Protoplasm four hundred times, the teacher commands. Ruthie glances flirtatiously around at her old pal, Walter Gavinsky. Out come two sheets of paper, and the victim begins her labor, 1933. It is the time of the county fair. A little boy covered with freckles, and in knee pants, is trying vainly to reach his father, at the same time crying, Daddy, daddy, look I got a blue ribbon on my pitcher. This growing artist is Cecil Robson. 1933. It is January. Someone had the bright idea to stage a boy 3 fashion show in «iris dress. Remember Roland Pncr in a blue evening gown, Emil Elich in a sport suit, Marian Littlefield in shorts, and Jim Birkett in a wedding dress? 1932. Sixth grade recess. A great commotion. The entire school has formed a circle. Cries of Hit him again, and go to it, Harry, are heard, and we finally get a bird’s eye view of the greatest prize- fight ever staged, with Harry Mitchell and Niilo Lindgrcn as the contestants. Remember? 1931. Fifth grade recess. What a tomboy is Thelma Dorman as she climbs the poles like a monkey, and then dares us to do the same. And as usual, we see Louise Harmon, making her spindle legs do at least ten miles an hour, in order to reach the swings first, and save about three of them for her pals. TIME MARCHES BACKWARD (continued) 1930. Who is thr.t young lcdy on the porch of that vacant house? It seems as though we should recognize that straight, blond hair and those freckles. And what can she be doing, flourishing that cloth around and sweeping away with a worn-out broom? Oh, yes, it's little Marion Moffat playing house. 1930. Aunt Loretta, Aunt Loretta: Wilma cries as that rascal, Philip Acton, chases her. How her spindly legs do fly, and then sud- denly she stops—her appendices are bothering again. 1929._ A group of boys come striding over the hills, laughing, shouting and having a good time. About ten yards behind them are two little figures doing their best to keep up with the big boys, but having a very hard time. Their short, chubby legs just won't carry them fast enough. One of them is crying and at the some time shout- ing, Clarence’ Wait for me. Please, Clarence, I want to go too: But Clarence doesn't want his little brother tagging along, and shouts back, Oh, go on home, and take Chickie with you. So poor little Wilbur trots along home, holding Chickie s hand and crying all the harder. 1928. Boo Hoo: Marjorie Hunter has a new bicycle and her feet just won't roach those pedals. But there is a way out of everything, such as letting Buster Havlik pump her around. 1928. 12 o’clock sharp. We see four feet two dragging a heavy lunch pail toward the schoolhousc. A look at her countenance shows that she has been made to do this errand with no less than a spank- ing. You’ve guessed it. This little maiden, with her round face streaked with tears, is Lorine Basinger, carrying her dad's lunch tc 1926. A dark young woman is approaching the formidable red doors dragging a curly-headed little blond in knee pants behind her. She coaxes him along with endearing phrases, such as, Come, Georgie dar- you'll love it. I know you will. The teachers are very kind, But little Georgie Thomas doesn't believe his momma. Even at that tender age he knows school won’t be any fun. 1926. Two small figures arc seen ambling very slowly down Second otreet, dragging their toes along the sidewalk in order to wear out their shoes. Every now and then they stop to scribble something on the sidewalk or to pick up some object that has attracted their fancy, Who canit be? Why, it's none other than Roy Dclameter escorting Sus- an Pigot home from school. 1925. The class of 1937 are climbing up the stairs for their first ay of school. Who is that chubby, dark-headed boy with bow legs' hone but John Liggett. How chubby and cute Rose Sos looks ns she dances about in her newly-made new red ruffled dress v off TH£STA S£ At a gay party the other evening, all of Roundup’s young debu- tantes appeared in gorgeous new gowns,. The most glamorous and bril- liant was none other than charming Bette Gilderoy. It is hard to be- lieve that such an attractive, fun-loving young lady has so ably played the part of a spinster in the play, Take Off Those Whiskers . Five minutes past seven—no director; ten minutes past seven— no director, and then, as the cast were pressing their noses anxious- ly against the window glass, a flash of a white, streamlined car, go- ing eighty at least, appeared, and a wild blaring horn cleared the way. It was the white taxi which delivered Miss Gillespie at the schoolhouse. The cause of this delay--a flat tire.

The new Astaire-Rogers combination, Caroline Cuculich and Gordon Petaja, are taking time out between scenes to practice on the latest dance steps, with Gordon’s soft crooning voice as the accompaniment. All the girls have been going around for the last week secretly worshipping waiter Sheldon after they saw how handsome he looked in that riding outfit—and he doesn’t so much as give them a lock of his curly hair. It was June in February when Howard Bunker and Rose Sos met on the stage for rehearsal of Oh, Professor .

Take the case of Claude by Miss Buck, while croon- rcsult, he was given a lead Sunbonnet Girl. What do we have in the footlights? Why, no other one but Howard Berkley. After his brilliant success in Oh, Professor, he was given a screen test, and when the auditors heard him sing, that clinched it. He was snapped up for the lead in Sunbonnet Girl, which, by the way, is a role of the type Clark Gable plays. He did a marvelous bit of acting, too, which only goes to show that often times, talent is discovered too late. Sing! Sing! Sing! Sing! That is Violet Wood’s middle name, acquired after her stage debut, in which she sang herself right into the heart of many people. For this reason, and for the reason thht Sunbonnet Sue should have an appealing appearance, she was chosen, without question, as the lead in Sunbonnet Girl. How well she and Howard Berkley did harmonize. When waneta Van LacthOm acauired that Ozark mountaineer brogue, and said, Kesh up, Abijnh, she sent the audience into hysterics. There was real acting.

To the class of ’38 we leave: 1. caps and gowns. 2. The lost three rows in the assembly. 3. The name senior . 4. The commercial room for discussion of grave senior problems. 5. Our rightful dignity, and supposed conceit. 6. The studio, for having our profiles reproduced in miniature. 7. The one-half day off, entitled sneak . Personal bequests are as follows: 1. Eloise Roberts leaves a recipe for extreme height to Willis VanDyke. 2. Willetta Woods sorrowfully leaves her cud of gum to Alyce Nation. She will find it under the desk inroom three. 3. Helen Hammergren passes her aesthetic dancing ability to Marjorie Hunter. 4. Paul Dye gives his secret of that irresistible some- thing that causes teachers to weaken under his spell and releases him from punishment for his misdemeanors to Harry Mitchell. 5. To Robert Swan, Jay Graves leaves his slow, deliberate manner of speaking and walking. With this, Robert should be able to conquer all obstacles. 6. Helen Bublich and Rose Balock leave their book entitled How to Play Hookey and get caught to Dorothy Ford and Loretta Mc- Cartney. 7. Esther Langsather leaves the jokes with which she enter tained Joe Rife to Mae Anderson. They have the best effect in the library, eighth period. 8. Gertrude Fawcett has finally consented to surrender Jimmie Holland to the junior girls. However, they will have to come to a satisfactory agreement. 9. Lucille Polich leaves her excess intelligence and industry to Jim Birkett in the hope that it will spur him on to at- tain greater heights. . 10. John Nation reluctantly quit his incoherent arguing with the teacher long enough to inform us that he wished us to bestow his ability to talk louder and less intelligibly than anyone else to Walter Gavinsky. 11. To the boys of the junior class, Gordon Petaja leaves------Caroline Cuculich. He sincerely hopes that since his leaving, Caroline will find another with whom to trip the light fantastic. 12. Howard Bunker and Rose Sos give their secret of maintaining peace and tranquillity throughout a long romance to Claude Murphy and Bette Gilderoy. 13. Julius Katana leaves his ability in perspective drawing to Dorothy Mitchell. 14. Roberta Mclntire leaves her ability to answer questions when others have failed to Marion Littlefield. 15. Evangeline Kruzich leaves the paper cutter to Wanda Geelhart. You will get the tickets in due time. 16. Mark Sekulich leaves his bass voice and Black Jack ability to Johnny Kowalski. 17. John Dinsmore leaves his place on the exemption list to Fred Rolls. Now Fred, don't take this lightly. 18. Bud Herzog leaves his dignified air and royal manner to holding his head to Niilo Lindgren. 19. Violet Wood leaves her crown, attendants and all else involved to Helen Wier. 20. Evelyn Franklyn leaves her chauffeur to Tubby Roberts. 21. Della Willis bequests her head of shining, curly locks to Vineta VanLaefhem. An extra hard brushing every morning, noon and night does much for them. 22. Howard Berkley leaves his motorcycle and numerous cuts and bruises to Bill Doris. As a bit of advice, it is best to take corners rather easily, and avoid loose gravel. 23. Myrtle Overend leaves everything she possesses to her sister, Mabel. This is quite a bit Mabel, so take good care of it. 24. Eleanor McCleary leaves numerous stencils and a bottle of correcting fluid to Biddy Graham. In witness whereof, we have hereunto set our hand and seal this twenty-eighth day of May, Nineteen hundred thirty seven.
