V etzel FOREWORD In our annual we have tried to compile a complete and interesting account of the year's activities. While obtaining this material, we have roved over many varied fields, met new friends, and garnered a wealth of new experiences, some of which you will read about in our RODEO and others about which you will simply have to guess. DEDICATION Over a course of years in the execution of any project there appears some one individua] whose contribution to that activity is so outstanding that it can not go unrecognized. Such a person--characterized by singleness of purpose and wholehearted interest--has served the yearbook of this school both as editor during her own high school days and as faculty advisor for the past three j'ears. In grateful appreciation of her sympathetic and efficient leadership we, the RCDEO staff of 1948, dedicate our annual to Ers. V ilbur Y ood.

Which side does the tassle go on? The rest of the kids are scanding around in the dim basement hall talk- ing in subdued whispers or giggling over nothing. Pretty soon it's going to be eight and the band will scart to play Pomp and Circum- stance, sounding not quite up to par to your critical ears, be- cause you and Spike and the first sax and the drummer are all dressed up in maroon gowns instead of occupying your usual seats. This is the day you could hardly wait for—the one you thought about when you said to the guys, Boy, I can hardly wait to get out of bhis dump. Last Sunday at Vesper Service you felt kind of strange sitting up there hearing the kids' speeches and seeing your mean and dad sitting there in the third row. All of a sudden you think that this is probably tho last time they'll be coming to a graduation, since you're the youngest and the last one to graduate. It's funny how you remember things at a cime like this—things you haven't thought about for yoars. 'There was chat time in the third grade when you tore Marie Vanaki's coat and all her friends who lived out by the mine were going to beat up on you. Last year you and Marie sort of went steady for a while. And your junior year when you drove one delivery wagon for Biddle's grocery and Vickie used co sneak out the last period and ride with you. And remember when you ran for secretary of the Bicycle Court in the sixth grade? And that party the football boys threw in the Moose HallJ And the time you all went to Billings after the basketball . game to celebrate. Those were the daysj School had its points too--the way you felt when you were given a part in the senior play, and when you wore asked co join Quill and Scroll. And that good, good feeling when you made che A squad. Y ou ' ve got the darndost feeling in ycjr stomach--hope you aren't going to be sick. Your mom and dad are already out there. You think about that for a while and wonder if your mom will cry in front of all those people. You decide to go over and calk to Moot- zie and Billie Mae, buc before you get a chance everybody starts to lino up and you realize it's eight and time to start. Noching to get excited about. You hear the band scart pla ing. You ’wonder if your tassle is on the right side. There, you go.....

SENIOR SNEAK DAY TRAVELOGUE On behalf of the Senior Class of 1948 I'm going to tell you about our Sneak Day. Class of 1948. Oh, yes, that's what was on the back of one of the cars—ROUNDUP-CLASS OF 1948—in huge white letters. Besides that the car was extravagantly decorated with maroon and white crepe paper streamers. But that car was not alone--the kids in another had drossed thoirs up with red and white streamers and their sign read Just carried.1' Loaving Roundup about 6:30 A. M., we were in Harlo ty8j00. We stopped there for awhile, and then took out for Big Timber. Boy, were we glad to get out and s-t-r-e-t-c-h when we got there. Riding can become quito tiring—believo me. Of course wo looked the town ovor--then wo visited the Big Timber Fish Hatchery, mo saw a million fish--and I'm not exag- gerating at all. The man told us there were that many. He told us, too, that they consumed two horses and 400 pounds of liver every week. That's a lot of meat--but that's a lot of fish. From there wo wont to i.cLeod. Personally, I thought it was just a resort or a camp of sone sort until I got there and found out there was a post office. So I looked on a map when I got home and found it--McLeod, population 29. Some of us bought post cards and mailed them from there. But most of us spent our time in enjoying our first swim of the year. What could be more per- fect than going swimming in a warm-water, in-door pool on a day when everyone but seniors had to be in school? About 12:30 comestibles wore investigated, and, judging from the size of some of the lunches, we could have stayed there for a week before running out of food. Of course the cameras clicked all day. Some of us went to sec tho Natural Bridge ton miles from McLeod. We were awod with tho beautiful scenery as well as tho bridge. At 3 30 P.M. we bid a reluctant farewell to McLood and hit tho road with instructions to meet at the Northern Hotel lobby in Billings at 8:30. Some of tho kids wont to a show in Billings. The rest found various other ways of amusing themselves. Thirty-seven tirod seniors and eight just as tired chaperones wore back in Roundup at ton o'clock—each with his own private supply of things to romembor, things to forget, and things to talk and laugh—yes, oven to brag about, later on. Everyone had a swell tir.c--but then, one couldn't help but have fun on that onco-in-a-lifetime day--Senior Snoak Day. HoIon Skagen '48 ANNUAL JUNIOR PROMENADE April 26, 1947 THE BIG SHOW The circus is here.' In the guise of a promenade. You'll get refreshments- If it has to be lemonade. So bring your partner- And in the fun delve. You can come at eight-thirty And stay until twelve. At the Roundup Hi gym The grand march is at nine On April twenty-sixth You'll have a good time.' Under a bright blue night sky filled with stars and a big cheesy moon, approximately forty couples danced around a pink and white merry-go-round. The circus theme offered a new brand of hilarity to an old and time-honored custom. Balloons were given to the guests, and a few managed to keep them as souvenirs. In years to come, many a scrapbook will be opened to the page contain- ing the dance program with The Big Top printed on the front and fond memories of a joyous affair will be recollected. 'Initiation Day The whole student body was shouting with glee, For revenge on the Freshmen they soon were to see. curtains were drawn, and the crowd was assembled i But on that one side, all the Freshen they trembled. CT They saw onions and garlic and jars of green paint— Egads, t'was enough to make anyone faint! First came Ann Johnson out onto the stage, Dressed like a baby, quite acting her age. Through the whole program she crawled on the floor, When they finally said stop, Good Gosh, was she sore Then, Betty Bublich. Ah! --football's dream— How to beat Harlo was her given theme. Tackling and blocking, but still was all smiles 'When Betty got through, they were all in the aisles. Four dazzling chorus girls were next on parade, To show off their style, they needed no aid. Muscle Man Johnny a poem indeed THE VILL-iGE BLACKSMITH was his to read. 0 Both Louise and Jean came on looking so coy, Louise was the mother, and Jean was the boy. V O Singing she rocked He’s heavy, she him, but then t’was enough, cried, Jean is too much! Then next on came Donny, the King of Swoon, ,rI’m Confessin’ was his to croon.) Georgie and Gordon danced cheek-to cheek, Such timing, such grace, and oh, so unique. This foolery went on for an hour or so; When the time was up, we let them all go. A That evening the Freshmen in very fine dress Were let into the dance for nothing, no less. 0 Laughter and gaiety thronged the hall; .p A very good time was had by all. The music stopped, and the din died away, ’Til next September and ’nitiation day. T.B.

Mea- sles and love produce approximately the same symptoms in the boys until the former overtake the latter and force the boys to turn the Job of editing the Christmas issue over to the girls. Susan and Betsy swap antiques, set up illegal pinball machines and mix things up in general until the police in the form of Cap- py intervene and take over the mixing up themselves. Mr. Clover and principal Henry Quinn are finally straightened out by Mrs. Clover and journalism teacher Martha Willard.’ Hughes and his football team shoulder their way onto the scene but are forced into oblivion when Lucy- belle discovers that Preston is a Yankee Boy. The?inevitable happy ending occurs when Susan's slap-happy editing brings Henry and Martha to admit their love and gets everybody a date for the prom except poor Pres- ton, who gets the All we can ao with this page is blare it on the dog. We, who cannot K paste a guy in the ncse, let alone on paper, started out to make a ficture R page, having received an unsatisfactory mark from our fourth grade art A teacher for our inability to paste three tulips on a large piece of pa.per, we Z felt unqualified for the job but proceeded with our usual impetuosity. Y If Ruth Dawson (21) appears to be- in the early throes of a fainting spell, the bl rie must fall on us, since at this point we were forced to un- glue not only Ruth, but Helen (33) and Marion (32) also, in order to make room for Clifton Rinehart (34), who appears to have been approximately the sane size at six months 0.9 he is today, and for a small imp bearing a slight resemblance tc Helen Ryan (25). K By looking ferocious Donald Moss (30) was able to maintain his position A in the loner left-hand corner and since Tommy (24) and Audrey (29) hod silent- P ly endured our ovn peculiar brand of cutting, we felt obliged tc leave them T in their original positions. I 0 Because the «log, (1) beat Innep (2) aft the page, it was necessary to N leave that young man with nothing but hope tc lean on and we (3) are standing S beside him. with cur face covered, net only because it locks better that way but also t avoid the sight of any catastrophe which may befall him. The Harpers (4) and (7) surround Fritz Hcbi (6), who managed t retain his equilibrium while Shirley Pratt (5) succumbed to our meandering scissors. Ee still don't understand how Dorothy Jasbeck (8) managed tc be phetoed against that woodsy background in her theater unifern, but it's obvious that F Dick (9) is intent on hauling in the biggest fish in the river while Bessie 0 Taylor (10) is prob bly contemplating carrying her pail of dirt into her R mother's clean living room. Roy (ll) didn't .mind having his picture taken but Janet Cruikshank (12) looks ready t . fight the cameraman. To knew Dorothy (13) is locking for someone so we fooled her and pasted Tommy in anether dirocticn. T.'e like the picture of the high school (14) as much as we like the cne of Pat Fr.ttison (i5) and Nancy's (16) rah-rah-rnh pose. K I Speod Neuman (17) isn't going anyplace in this snap nor is Richard D Milne (18) baking, and there just wasn't any place for Elva (19) so we put S her in beside an overall picture of Lorna. (20). Torosa Erychtn (22) is evidently pleased with the space provided by Ruth's regluing, and Shanie (23) seems most interested in getting her kitten in the picture. There's a picture of Florence Curry (26) new and a picture of Dale Howry (28) then, and v e were afraid to cut out Gerald's (27) catch because he obvi- ously knows how tc use that gun. A K New only Patsy (31), surreunded by sunlight, dogs, and legs, was left tc R paste and by the time Vic (35) had been cut for the bottom corner, there ro- 0 nained nly the dog who c.uld bo cut tc specificati.:n at which point we threw S up cur hands in despair and—at the risk of ycur sanity and cur neck—put the S darned thing in the annual. SENIOR SIDELIGHTS After four years of carrying more kleenex in one notebook than any other individual, Lorna Kiner will go out into the world to face her destiny. .7e have no fear for Lorna, but we do wonder from whom the remaining students will borrow when the first cold wind creeps under the gym door, bringing .its burden of sneezing and nose blowing. perhaps Lorna will discover a shirttail relative in the Kleenex Corporation, 'V or at least appear on a quiz program where, al- $though unable to remember who invented the first • r '' '■ mousetrap, she will surely be awarded 100 boxes v'% of that indispensable tissue. • r 4 i A . W V m W v Our statistics prove that boys have more staying power than girls. If you want to argue, consider the case of those in the graduating class who have attended Roundup schools for twelve out of twelve years. At any rate, Donald Zupan, Richard Milne, Fred Hobi, Dale Howry, Dick Charlton, and Donald I'.oss have been with us from the beginning, as have Tommy McCleary and John Neuman. Thai makes a total of eight, while only seven girls--Teresa Brychta,Florence Curry, Dorothy Jasbeck, Shanie Fievet, Helen Skagen, Dorothy Redel, and Bessie Taylor have resisted the temptation to move. (Which all goes to show anything with statistics!) o X ft', that you can prove , Vt r r V A.

You go around and open the door for your girl because this is a special occasion, and she gets out—having a little trouble not tripping over her long, full skirt. She wasn't ready when you called, buc you don’t mind much because you realize that a thing like the Junior Prom means a loo to the weaker sex and they feel like chey have to put on the dog. And besides—she does look nice. It feels funny to seep aside and let her go through the door which you and che guys usually rush chrou-:h ac top speed so you won’c be lace co first-period class. You nod sheepishly in the direction of the class sponsor who looks as amazed ac seeing you in cie as you did when you looked in the mirror. Dance numbor one is under way so you decide co give it a cry firsc and exchan;e dances lat er. You don’t know hat co say but you chink there should be some conversacion so you scart celling 'our date about how you and Ducch squirted wacer in old - ed’s eye as he dashed around the corner to history class. You feel sort of foolish with all those people looking down at you from che bleachers and you steer over coward a far corner. All che time you're chinking about how all of you worked co make this the big night and how everything else you did chis year just led up to now. There was the game you played to see how many times you could beac che seniors out of che assembly and the way you and the kids felt all along chat maybe che fourth class wasn't the most im- portant after all. All year you’ve been pretty close to senior row and you're not worried about getting there anymore and you've got your seat all picked out for next year. You've done a lot of crazy things this year—mostly because you figured you were gecting pretly close to che top and also to show everybody that you we re an upper classman now and you realize that you'll have to really grind next year. You're beginning to catch the rhythm but you're still kind of thinking chat .lothinr after tonight will seem as important, and though ic was a loc of work ic was worth it, and now the music's really going and you begin to whirl round and round and round.

But alas.' I came during none of these glamorous sea- sons. I was born when everything was full grown and sort of dead and dull. However, they tell me that I caused some excitement on the morning of the fourth or the night of the third of August. No one seems to be sure which, but I celebrate the fourth anyway. --Dorothy Larson On the cloudless day of June 16, 1931, the McKenna household was blessed with a little scatter-brain later named John. As luck would have it, the peach fuzz on my all but bald herd was as blonde as any blue-eyed gal could wish for, so I naturally was tagged Cotton-top. At the ripe old age of ten months, I made my first at- tempt to go on a little excursion on my own two pegs This, however, led only to the loss of my dignity and the loss of me in the middle of the floor half way to nowhere, --John McKenna Nothing exciting happened to me until I v as about four years old. One evening I was running down a plank walk we have at home when I fell head first into a water pail, which supposedly accounts for the dimple on each side of my head. 1'Vi- --Bill McKiernan Miss Dorothy Thompson vas my first instructor and in ray tender viewpoint she was a marvelous person. I think the nice thing about teaching in the primary grades would be the fact that all the little folks think their teacher knows more than they, while students in high school are convinced of the opposite. --Mary Beliveau On July 6, 1931, I came into the world howling and screaming for all I was worth (which wasn’t muchi)...... None of the doctors could determine just exactly what I was and none of them have solved the puzzle yet. Dur- ing my first five years in this world I didn’t accom- plish anything extraordinary, I did, however, ask abort five million foolish questions and get into more mis- chief than any three normal children of that age. At the age of six, I started school in the first grade. My first day in school turned out to bo a com- plete disappointment to me. I could not, no matter how I tried, write the alphabet. During my fifth year in school success came knocking at my door. After all those trying years, I had at last scratched out the al- phabet from A to Z, —Pat Glanoy When I was born, all my grandparents were living, but now only my father’s mother is alive......limy ninth year I learned to drive in an old international truck that would go only thirty miles an hour which,consider- ing my own as well as civilization's welfare, was prob- ably a good thing. «-Robert Jorgenson %'S:- m Before I started school, I lived in the country. Before I lived in the country, I lived in Roundup, After I started school, I lived in Roundup. After my first year at school, I lived in the country. During my second year at school I lived in Roundup. The sum- mer after this I lived in the country. The next year I moved to Roundup where I have lived ever since. Some- day I'll live in the country again and I’ll marry a rancher. But before that I have lots to do. I'll fulfill all my ambitions. I'll be a roller skate dancer first of all. Then an artist, a detective, and an architect. But that's too much work—I'll marry the rancher, then. But that's work, too. I;ll live a week with each of my fifty-three first cousins and then start aHover again. Later I'll get a pension. Then I'll die--old, fat, and happy, —Mildred Sealey I I have been delivering papers for five haven't made my first million. years and up to now I —Chuck Meznarlch Among my earliest acquaintances were a neighbor whose cookies were delicious and my dog, Tuffy, whose tail I loved to pull while we played on the big side porch of our house.....Several years and another house afterwards I entered the first grade......The teacher was a kindly lady who kept roe after school only to practice my pen- manship. The queer thing about this was that I always had to write the same few words-- I am a chatterbox1'— about fifty times.....My chief annoyances are my all too apparent lack of height and the necessity of going to bed at night. --Ruth ’Verner On February 10, 1930, out of a roaring Wyoming blizzard came the news of ny arrival.......Just me......I woke up crying and went to sleep in a - like manner..... All my life I have been a dreamer, but I get great pleasure out of doing things just the same. --Carl Brovm I attended the first five grades in a rural school which consisted of all cousins......I'y cousins encour- aged me to do things like placing crushed wild onions in the ventilator of our small school building and then interrupted when I tried to explain to the teacher..... Just a year or two before I started town school there remained only my brother, two sisters, and myself to seek education rurally, so, rather than make us walk the long mile and a half every day, they moved the school to our ranch. --Adeline Adolph Until I was five, I spent my summers watching a toadstool by a large oak tree in our backyard. I was v aiting for the fairies v hich my older brother assured j me v ould appear at any minute......The most delightful h of all winter thoughts v ere those of candy at Christmas Ai time, which was always just around the corner ........ V hen I was five, school started and so did trouble.... V I was always fighting to see who was toughest and Y}S playing hookey and building snowball forts..... I A guess I didn't become a man until I was nine. At any X rate, I was then admitted to the gang and allowed to play Tarzan with the rest......At the age of thirteen I decided to become a cowboy and proceeded to find a job ona ranch. As time passed and I got used to the new adventure and tired of so much riding, I decided to give up my ambition....... At the same time I adopted the general theory that Montana was civilized. --Tom Anderson On November 18, 1931, about one thousand babies v ere born.. ...I was one of them. --Gary Finkle It was not till the day after Christmas in 1930 that I nade iny debut into the world. I sometimes think of how close I came to being a Christmas present.........My brother (having been born the day before Christmas) is in the same category and shares the scarcity of gifts with me. --Prank Lelcse I had a happy childhood playing cops and robbers, rubber guns, and the Green Archer in the hills near my home......The in- evitable comes sooner or later. On the first day of school the teacher asked if anyone would like to sing a song for the class. I readily volunteered but, losing my nerve at the fatal moment, was forced to resort to the Ostrich Method, which involves a direct glance at the floor on the theory that if jou can't see the class, they can't see you, and which I have since used with dubious success on teachers. --Larry Hunter America was discovered on October 12, 1492, by Christopher Columbus. America ’ as discovered by me also, but not until a later date--September 16, 1930.....The great explorer kept say- ing, Sail onJ until he reached his destination. I am saying the same thing and shall until I, too, reach my goal--a life filled with happiness and xmderstanding and some satisfying work which I hope I am equipped to do. --Louise Iverson On a rainy day in October, one week before Hallowe'en, I came into this world. But probably with an alien spirit, for I was born in Harlowtoni I, --Mary Rux I, like Lincoln, was born thirty miles south or Roundup, in progress. Mom seemed to think I needed a little raising at home. She may have been right, for my brother and I took it for granted that setting eggs were unnecessary attributes to farm life and took it upon ourselves to break them. . . . JEt seemed to us that if we did not get three beatings a day,we were sick...... Because my life has been short, rcy autobiography is not long but as it is, I leave it with you. --Turla Turley r aw® You forgot your book fine and had to go back after it and now you're hurrying along the street so you won't be late to pick up your report card. In another minute you'll turn the corner and be on the last lap of your sophomore year. Right now you're think- ing about the past year and how it wasn't as dull as you expected it to be--how you and the rest of the kids put on a couple of good dances and how you were asked to help on the RODEO staff and how you pulled an A in bi- ology to the surprise of your whole family, including you. You no longer tip-toe when you convey your Pass Spud to the basement to the neth- er regions, but you still look wistfully at the windows on the far side of the assembly and at the seats near them. Your greatest delight is in overwhelming a belated senior who is attempting to struggle through the assembly as you and the rest of the kids rush out to lunch. It was more fUn than you thought it would be, but you're glad it's over and that next year you won't be awed by seniors or ceachers. You wonder if maybe you'll be able to snitch a seat in the last row next to the seniors .. when school keeps next year and now you're' feeling in your pocket to see if your book fine money is still there and now you're turning the corner.....

Larry: Just as hot as a cup of coffee. Elva: I never drink coffee] When Patti - Bell wore her moccasins to school one da”, Shanie Fievet made the remark that they made her look'like an Indian. Sure, Patti replied, I .iust got off the reservoir. You stand in the wings off the assembly stage and you're kind of scared. You know that initiation is all in fun but still...... You've been in high school two weeks,one day, and three hours, and you can't get over that feeling that makes you sort of squirmy inside every time you came in the door. Every day of those long two weeks you've been anticipating this moment--even while you were tdhng the guys, oh, that old initiation isn't muchi Beezy, who lives down the block from you and who walks to sohool with you, comes off the stage with a big green F on his forehead and his pants rolled up to here. Pretty soon it'll be your turn—the big mo- ment—the climax. Other things will be important this year-- playing in the band and being in the May Fes- tival and maybe making che B squad—but this is special. For you, everything afterward will be anticlimatic. You guess that when you're a senior, graduation will be the big moment, and when you're a junior, you'll be thinking mostly about the prom, and during your sophomore year you'll just struggle along waiting for May 31. But right now they're calling your name,and a senior is hauling you on the stage and dabbing paint on your nos and the big kids are laughing and this is it..... E.A.

L'innifred McDonnell Student Accompanist Bessie Mae Taylor WE shook the family tree PRESENTED BY ALL-SCHOOL CAST Hildegarde Dolson's HV e Shook the Family Tree was presented on November 14 with an all-school cast under the direction of Mrs. Annie E. Wood. Elaine Allen as Hildegarde Dolson struggled persistently throughout the three-act play to make sure she wouldn't be a wall- flower, as her father, played by Tom Anderson, scored a real hit with an audience fully appreciative of his predicaments. Arrayed in a pair of knickers, Albert Anderson amused the audience in his portrayal of a mamma's boy. Jo Ann Sayre was perfect as the serene wife and loving mother. Norma Crosmer as younger sister showed real loyalty to Hildegarde, even against the stern accusations of banker Richard Milne. Supporting roles were occupied by Gary Finkle, as older brother Bob, and Robert Hougardy, as younger brother Jimmy, who possessed the very scientific electric wormcr. Inez Stenerson as the severe Mrs. Shermer was mortified along with the Dolsons when Donna Eliason as little Paige Mason distributed early love letters of both families. Helen Skagen and Marjorie Boyle added their bright teen-age roles to this fast-moving presentation.

STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council operated during the past yearwith eleven members, four of which were class presidents, four elected representatives from each class, and two appointed from the junior and senior classes. The ten mentioned nominated candidates for the chairmanship of the body, after which the students narrowed their selections down to one. Don- ald Loss served in this capacity for 1947-48 nd Mr. West acted rs rdviser. Aims and functions of the council are to promote higher standards, make helpful suggestions to the student oody, and settle any differences which may arise. The group also attempts to set an example of good conduct and to bring about closer harmony be- tween faculty and pupils. Seated: Jean Neshoim, Donald Zupan, Fat Glancy, Sha- nie Fievet, Jo Ann Sayre, Fred Hobi Standing: I r. rcst, Tom Anderson, Donald loss Mar- jorie Boyle, Pete Hnverkonp CLASS MJVfJES Sophisticated seniors sedulously se- cured sport and silliness at the season’s stirring of students. In other words, the Freshman Mixer was held on Friday, September 12, in the high school gym. The melodious strains of the Red Hots furnished dance music. Jolly jitter-buggers jived to the jangling jingles of the Red Hots at the Junior Jubilee. Those not participating in the live- lier activities on September 26 indulged in a pop guzzling contest. Richard Milne won by a three-bottle margin. Silly shenanigans at the Sophomore Shuffle satisfied students showing up October 10. Among the numerous novelty dances were a split dance, a broom dance and a tag dance. Eddie Hilderman exercised his vocal chords as master-of-ceremonies, making nearly as much noise as the Red Hots, who supplied the music. Frolicsome freshmen favored fellow feather-brains and faculty at a frivo- lous affair in the form of the annual Hobo Hop on Friday, October 24. The well-deserved prizes were re- ceived by Don Moss and Mary Anne Robin- son, who were chosen king and queen of Hoboland. To add to the scheme of rags and tin cans, the dance was held in the old gym, and the Red Hots played for the tramp- ling tramps. MASQUERADE DANCE Quito a collection of creaturos appeared at the Masquerade Dance .given by the senior class, Friday, November 21. An cxotically alluring Brazilian rhumba queen proved to bo none other than Dick Charlton, who took first placo with his captivating garb. Rich- ard Milno, as a clown, and miarjorie Boyle, lending a far-eastern atmosphere as a Chin- oso girl, tied for second. Tho remaining prizes went to two cuddly bunnies, and by looking more closely at their figuros you could distinguish Patti Boll and Helen Ska- gon. A little hit out of place but certain- ly prize-winning was Dorothy Fink as jolly old Saint Nick. Three of tho faculty, wo think, came as football players. Their identity will probably never bo known. This collection of oddities produced a humorous scono with an old seaside inn as the background motive. JUNIOR PROM After weeks of hard work, the efforts of the junior class were displayed when the Class of 49 honored tho Seniors of 48 with the annual promenade held i.ay first in tho gym. Everyone felt conspicuous by their lack of wooden 3hoes as they gazed upon the hun- dreds of tulips and 3ippod punch from the bar of Ye Oldo Windmill. As colorful in music a3 were the tulips, tho Blue Flares of Billings lent a musical air that couldn't be copied. Although the pennies that v;ero distri- buted were meant for the wishing well, many found their mark in the colorfully lighted pond. Mrs. Hulstone, miss Gillaopoy and the Prom committee probably had used the wishing well many tines beforo, because their prom was a great success. MATINEE DANCE Pinching themselves to : ako sure it vrs a real hon-st-to-goodness dance and net reg- ular eighth period classes, students filed into the gym F'riday, March 12, to jump and jive to the rhythmis of the Red Hots until 5:00 o'clock. The Freedom Train came and wont and when it had gono, members of Roundup High School and surrounding territories were left witi memories of a long caravan of cars wending its way to Billings for the ovont, a fow battorod souvonirs, and at least two aching foot. For most, however, the four and a half hours of standing in line wero worthwhilo and fow camo back without fresh inspiration and a littlo extra knowlodgo. Tho brilliantly decorated cars gavo a sonsc of unity and corns on purpose to tho thousands gathorod boforo thca, and few loft tho long lino until thoy had passod through tho softly lighted in- torior and caught atloast a glimpso of their constitution, the Magna Charta, and .Columbus lottor announcing the discovery of a country which now has pavements and bottles of pop and a history of its own. Documents in tho handwriting of tfoo3ovolt and Goncral Clark brought home tho fact that the handful of people around us had a part in the United Nations Charter as our forefathers had in tho Bill of Rights. At tho beginning of the year tho band began to establish pre- cedents and ha3 been doing so over sinco. Not tho least of these was their Ragumuffin” concert which, a3 its name implies, was a plea for much needed band uniforms. Decked in patches, the group gavo a creditable performance with a considerably enlarged person- nel. Thoy played with f-wor numbers but with just as much gusto for most of the basketball season, taking timo out to entertain at the Christmas program. At last, with tho aid of several civic-minded or- ganizations, thoir classmates, and aU tho townspooplo, thoy obtained tho long awaited uniforms in time to ap- poar in a blaze of glory and with more than a littlo prido at tho music fostival in Laurol where they wore given an oxcollent rating. Tho band played as the May Queen marched to hor throno and added its reolodles to tho senior Vespers and Commoncomont. During tho annual Spring Concert the members camo out from bohind tho curtain to add a collectiori of overturos, marches, and popular numbers to tho program.

Amazed, the students watched Mr. Sverman “fry a tin can wit the aid of liquid air. This and other experiments were conducte in a way that only wit and experience can offer. Playing and singing their way along, the Melody Boys, in t second program, porformed for R. H. S. students on October first i the Roundup High School gymnasium. Such familiar favorites as That's My Desire , Song of th Open Road , and Chopin's Polonaise were recoived with much enthu siasm by the appreciative audience of the music makers. Sloppy penmanship was outmoded for one day in R. H. S., Octobe 17, when Mr. Turner, in the third period of entertainment, displaye. his mastery of the letters. The brief effects of this show sorvei only as a mere appetizer to teachers striving to correct papers ii the following days. The fourth of the series featured the talented iftir. Brown ini delightful program on December ninth in which he displayed hii abilities as an artist, magician and ventriloquist. His rag and chalk pictures proved beautiful as well as amusing while his feats of magic awed the audience. Perhaps the cost delightful portion of the program was th( happy, hopeful but hesitant xiarley, i..r. Brown’s wofcden, red-hairet son. ' Playing his way through an animated forty-five minutes, James Blodgett, in the fifth program, gave his audience an enjoyable pro- gram of modern piano selections ofl his own composition and of famed composers, Friday, January 16. „ ho finale of the National Assemblies Programs featured the Jubilee Singers , a Negro quartet, inaprogram of Negro Spirituals. Joining wit, humor, and song they contributed one of the most popular shows of the season.

PUBLISHING BRINGS PROBLEMS Oh! The trials and tribulations of putting out one little six-page paper 1 All year long Miss Shepherd has had to put up with the practically continual stream of traf- fic between the mimeo- graph room and the typing room during her third period class. The incen- tive for this parade has been that little bottle of correction fluid, which, no matter where you are, is always in the other room. Until you've typed a stencil, you've never had a real head-ache. Take it from Helen and Lorna, to type one with very little trouble or diffi- culty is very uncommon, and editor Patsy's great- est fear was that a whole issue of PANTHER PARADE would be run off upside down. Richard and Dale didn't mind the ink they always managed to get on their fingers. We think they rather liked the squeals of the girls when confronted with this Donaoe to their make-up. PANTHER PARADE went to press for the second year with 16 students under editor Patsy Bell and adviser Mrs. Annie Wood. Tribulations of edit- ing were shared by as- sociate editor, Bessie Taylor, Don Zupan, sports editor, and Sharde Fievet, art editor. The affairs of finance rested on the shoulders of Don Moss, business manager. The paper, a member of the Montana Interscho- lastic Editorial Associa- tion, received a superior rating from that organi- zation in 19AV� Six editions and one special issue have rolled off the mimeo- graph this year, four of which have been sent to the M.I.E.A. for judging. While leftovers are usually garnished with catsup and a dash or two of garlic salt, two second year journalists, Elaine Allen and Marion Manchester ( left over from last yearns course), were able to serve with little or no refurbish- ing on this year's PAN- THER PARADE staff. GOOD LUCK NEXT YEARI LATIN CLASSES A group of Romans reclined on couches around a table laden with delicacies ascribed to a Roman menu of long ago. No movement was discernible until suddenly the room was illuminated by the light of a flash bulb, and the tableau disintegrated as arms and legs as well as heads apoeared from out of the voluminous folds of the simulated togas. It then became apparent that the Romans were none other than the Latin classes and their guests, who then proceeded to help themselves to generous portions of the aforemen- tioned delicacies and to digest same with a sneed unheard of in ancient times. The Latin classes are shov n on the opposite page in the pic- turesque attire they donned for the annual Roman dinner; and the emblem of the Junior Classical League, of which the group is a part, is illustrated above.

Quill and Scroll, an international honor organization for high school journalists, was granted a charter in Roundup High School in 1946- 47. Eight new candidates were qualified for membership in 1947- 48, and an initiation was held on Friday, January 16. Follow- ing the ceremony a party was held for the new members and their guests. Bessie Taylor was elected president of the local chapter and Helen Skagen vice-president. The group selected Patsy Bell to serve as secretary and Marion Manchester to serve as treasurer. Quill and Scroll has accepted as its project for this year the sending of copies of PANTHER PARADE to some high school In German territory. Its members have also done special work on the RODEO.

QUILL AND SCHOLL The low rumble of bass harmonized with the tenor notes in this year’s rrixed chorus as a male section was added to the music department. Thirty-five voices combined to make an initial appearance at the fall Raga- muffin1' concert, and prococdod to sing for the Christmas program and tho Spring Concort.

ON BORROWING 1 Is possible to go for a period of 61 days without buying either paper or pencil. After this a subtle change begins to take place--first in those with whom one's acquaintance is but slight--and finally in one's nearest and dearest friends. This change might be compared to the feeling a dog has for a flea which it has sustained for some time--bland surprise at first, later chagrin at not being able to rid the premises of such a specimen, and at last a dull acceptance of unalterable fate. Although I am perfectly willing to continue as before and see no reason to impede the hand of destiny, the knowing their fate is unalterable does not keep those formerly known as friends from chafing vainly under the bit and occasionally (like the dog) scratching violently behind the ear.

The introduction of the faculty to their cooking ability was made October Id. At that time the high school faculty and guests celebrated the discovery of America around a table centered by a large ship representing Columbus' Santa ijaria. On October 2V the same group found themselves among witches, jack-o-lantsrns and other things Hallowe'en-ish when they were served a delectable Hallowe'en dinner. On November 20 the whole faculty of Roundup Public Schools gathered to enjoy a Thanksgiving feast--turkey, dressing, and all the trimmings. Ihis meal was served in the Junior High sewing room. Both tables were centered with large bowls of fruit and lighted candles were at either end. In keeping with Christmas a small Christmas tree was the cen- ter of attraction at a buffet supper which was served December 8 to the high school faculty, Mrs. 'west, Mrs. Seknlich, and Mr. and Mrs. Wetzel. To prove that they, too, were possessors of the Christmas spirit, the girls presented each of their guests with a gift. For Mrs. wood they chose a funny-book to be placed in the library. Mrs. Hulstone was given a package of Spearmint end a wad of bub'ole-gum to chew during school hours, and they conferred upon Miss Gillaspey a fork, a knife, and a spoon--just in case the Home Ec. Department ran short. Upon opening his package Mr. Sekulich found himself the owner of a bag of marbles--should basketball or football prove boring. A Yo-Yo was bestowed upon Mr. Stagg and afforded him a means of amusenont all evening. Excluding the junior and senior girls, the sophomore members of the class concocted and served the final banquet on March 13 to the school board. The Junior High sewing room was the scene of this event and the guests sat around a T-shaped table centered with a little red school house--complete with a bell. Miss Zella Gillaspey deserves the credit for instructing the girls in the culinary art and doing a fine job of it. ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM Nov.

DISCOURSE ON A CATEGORY Some individuals are averse to the straightening of maga- zines, the filing of small white cards, and the scotch taping of torn and bedraggled bock pages. Those who do not fall into this category are known as library assistants. The species is itself divided into several classes. Those who delight in the making of lists and the assessing of fines are classed as fifth neriod library assistants and are usual- ly named Lorna. Of the classes in which the listmaking bent is less apparent and in which the scotchtaping and magazine straightening inclinations are manifest,there are three- These are properly termed second period, fourth period, and sixth period library assistants, but are more commonly called Mar- gie, Patti, or Bessie by those not versed in scientific phraseology. A distinct division of the species is apparent on investi- gation of the duplicaria dupliciteria, or first and third period library assistant. This type may be recognized by its puckered lace vrelieved by some scholars to be brought on by its stickerlicking tendencies garnered from years of bookpro- cessing) or -V ihs bleeding fingers (unanimously attributed by the rest of the scholars to its habit of punching holes in those members while placing the New York Times on an insidious de- vice known as a newspaper holder),and--the reader may now pause briefly for the purpose of breathing--is best known as Elaine The seventh period library assistant is a class which we have refrained from discussing up till now, since scientists have only recently discovered its connection with the spe- cies. Very little is known about it except that it ..habitually indulges in magazine straightening and bookshelving. Observers of this newly-unearthed addition have found that it persistently locks the library d or in order to keep eighth period assembly students from unstraightening the maga- zines, and that its unsci- — entific name is Kelen.

Play- ing for the second year under the leadership of Coach Charles Sekulich, the team brought up the curtain with a victory, and after that could always he counted on to play good, hard, consistent football, even though through the campaigns there were many players on the injured list. The Panthers brought down the curtain of the gridiron per- formance with a victory and also with the following men playing their final football game for Roundup Hi: A. Wall, R. Jackovich, G. Turley, V. Pink, J. Neuman, I. Brown, T. McCleary and D. Howry. September The Roundup Panthers opened their 194.7 football schedule with a 12-7 12 win over a steamed-up Harlo eleven on the local field. Harlo struck in Harlo the first period when they took possession of the ball at midfield and Here scored on a series of line plays with Satake carrying the ball into the end zone. Parsons added the extra point,and Iferlo took the lead 7 to 0. The Panthers came back in the same period when G. Kuni picked up a Harlo fumble and scampered 35 yards for the tally; the conversion v as wide, and Harlo retained the lead 7 to 6. In the second period Roundup completed the scoring for the day when Kozeliski threw a 35 yard aerial to'G. Kuni who scored standing up. The con- version was missed,and Roundup led 12 to 7. The rest of the game was played at midfield with neither team making any serious threats. September Scoring a touchdown in the final seconds of a thrilling football game 26 played here, the Fergus county gridders narrowly staved off a Panther Fergus victory for a 12-12 tie. The Panthers scored first when Kozeliski went Here 6 yards around left end to pay dirt. The extra point failed, leaving Roundup ahead 6 to 0. Roundup gathered up another score as they brought the tall down to the two yard line where Kozeliski plunged over; the conversion proved wide and Roundup led ±2 to 0 at half time. In the final period the Eagles scored on a pass from Johnson to Dowen, the extra point failing leaving the score 12 to 6. I7ith a few minutes left in the game, Fergus aerials brought them to the Roundup 2 yard line, There Doren carried the ball over as the game ended. Rcundup racked up 11 first downs to 7 for their opponents. Gerald and Turla Turley pleyed out- standing defensive ball for the home team.

Scoring another touchdown in the second period and two more in the finai anto, the Bulldogs put the game on ice. The Panthers were forced to play most of he game minus the services of key men. Such players as Kozeliski, Eall, Graham, ’ratt, G. Turley and T. Turley were slightly injured during the rough fracas, while [owry didn't see action because of an eye injury. October Right halfback Kozeliski sprinted forty yards with a Forsyth punt early 10 in the first period and, with good downfield blocking, scored to give Forsyth Roundup a 6 to 0 victory on the home field. The locals kept the invaders Here from seriously threatening at any time during the game. The crowd rec- eived a thrill in the third quarter when G. Turley scooped up a fumbled ball and an forty-five yards for a would-be-touchdown. The play was called back, however, s the referee ruled the pigskin had touched the ground. The maroon and white exc- eeded the Forsyth gridders in yardage gained. October Avenging an early season defeat, the Harlowton Engineers came back in a 17 return game to defeat the Roundup Panthers 13 to 0 on the Harlo field in krlowton a non-conference game. The Engineers lost no time in scoring in the first There period as Satake ran 25 yards on an off-tackle play to score. Parsons dded the extra point to give ffarlo a 7-0 half time lead. After playing scoreless econd and third periods, Harlo again scored as Johnson went 10 yards through the iddle to score. Harlo piled up 15 first downs to Roundup's 8. October The Roundup Panthers,in full strength fer the first time since the early 24 part of the season, came back on their last home game of the year, and as Worden a result rang up an impressive 13 toO win over a highriding Worden eleven. Here Roundup was the first to crash the scoring column as B. Kuni,on a quarter- ack sneak, wont through for two yards to score in the first period; the conversion moved to be wide and the score remained 6 to 0. After playing scoreless second and ;hird quarters and with only three minutes left in the game,Borden,with their backs lo the wall, tried a desperation heave. This was intercepted by B. Kuni who ran the emaining 20 yards to score. Kozeliski converted the extra point, and Roundup won 3 to 0. October The maroon and vhite took a 7 to 6 grid game from the Carbon Coyotes on 31 the Red Lodge gridiron to close their football season. B. Kuni's twenty- sd Lodge five yard touchdown run and Kozeliski's run for the extra point proved to There be the chief factor in the locals' victory. Scoring in the second period ian off-tackle smash by Alberta, the host team held the lead until early in the inal quarter when pay dirt was reached by the Panthers. Roundup was outgained in irst downs, but not in spirit, as they anxiously awaited their chance.

Bearcreek opened fast and led at the end of the first quarter, but the Panthers took up the lead and were never headed thereafter. Kozeliski hit for 14 points to lead Panther scoring. WORDEN The locals barely salvaged a close 29-28 victory THERE over the Red Devils of Worden. Panthers led 17-10 at DECEMBER 9 half time and 24-13 going into the final period, but were unable to find the basket in the fatal neriod es Worden came within one point of sending the game into an overtime period. COLUMBUS Failing to hit the hoop on a large percentage of HERE their shots,the maroon end white drooped a fast game, DECEMBER 12 40 to 25, to the Columbus Cougars. The score was seven all at the end of the first quarter, but the visitors grabbed the lead in the second period and the Fanthers never caught up. LE 7I ST OWN Rebounding from a defeat at the hands of a strong THERE Columbus five, the Panther squad scored their third DECEMBER 13 victory (37-32) of the season. Hitting field r-oals from well out. Coach Seku.lich’s quintet won a big victory. Mihalovich was particularly effective as he connected for fifteen counters. COLUfBUS Holding off a late scoring thrust by the Panthers, a THERE Columbus Cougar five scored a close 44 to 41 victory DECEMBER 17 over an invading Roundup quintet. The maroon and white were handicapped by the loss of Bolin, first string center, but gave a good account of themselves in the tilt. G. Kuni hooped 11 points and Jackovich scored 10 to pace the locals. LAUREL. In what may be considered by local fans as the game HERE of the season, the Fanthers upset a highly touted JANUARY 6 Laurel quintet with a 47-46 score. Roundup took the lead but Laurel would not be counted out. The game was close throughout with the lead changing hands many times. Roundup's whole team was magnificent,but Kozeliski with 16 points and B. Kuni with 12 were outstanding. HARDIN Hardin's Bulldogs scored an impressive 52-35 victory HERE over a maroon md white quintet on the local floor. .JANUARY 9 Superior ball handling and good teamwork by the in- vaders were too much for the Roundup five to handle. Hihalovich swished 13 points for the locals. CENTRAL Because of weak passing and failing to connect for THERE much needed baskets, the locals dropped a close con- JANUARY 10 test to the Central Rams, who capitalized on the maroon and white errors.

KLEIN Spearheaded by Kayo Hihalovich's 22 points which en- HERE abled them to hold a 24-20 lead at half time, the JANUARY 13 maroon and white came back after the intermission to completeLy dominate the game and take a 60-32 victory over Klein. HcKiernon and Bolin with 11 and 10 points respectively aided the local cause. FORSYTH Hampered by injuries, the local cagers journeyed to THERE Forsyth where they fell before the Dogies 26-33. JANUARY 16 Forsyth led at the half by a 18-13 count. The Roundup quintet fought desperately to come within one basket of tying the score late in the game but fell apart. ’70RDEN Failing to find the basket in the remaining quarter HERE of play, the Panthers were forced to stall the ball JANUARY 20 to hold a 42 score s the clock ran out on the invad- ing Worden Red Devils.

After leading by a scant four point margin at half time, the rallied to chalk up their victory. HARLO TIE RE JANUARY applied with 10 Displaying the power which has marked them as the strongest team in the district, the Roundup Panthers 27 defeated the Harlo Engineers by a 35-17 count. In the last two quarters Harlo fell apart as the locals the pressure to take the victory. Kozeliski led scoring points while Bolin and Hihalovich gathered 9. HARDIN Taking a 12-11 first period lead, Roundup's Panthers TJERE throw a scare into the unbeaten Hardin Bulldogs as JANUARY 30 they chalked up 35 to Hardin's 37 in the second meet- ing of the two teams. Close throughout. It was one of the tightest g'mes the maroon and white five had participated in during the season. Kozeliski sparked the Fenther offense with 10 of their 35 points. FORSYTH After posting a big margin in the first period, the HERE locals awoke just in time to see their lead cut to JANUARY 21 one point, as the Forsyth Dogies made a final splurge to stop the victory bound Panthers from seeking re- venge for an earlier season defeat. The Forsyth five garnered 40 points and Bolin, Roundup pivot man, chalked up 21 of Roundup's 51 points while Kozeliski contributed 11, HARLO 'Vith forwards I ihalovich and Stamp hitting for 14 HERE points apie $£ , the panthers administered one of the FEBRUARY 3 worst shellackings in along time to their old rivals, the Engineers, from Harlo. From the opening whistle Harlo was completely baffled by the locals' defense as they were forced to shoot from far out on the court, while the Roundup quintet were making baskets from all parts on the floor to chalk up 50 to 18 victory. SIDNEY Trailing by 12 points as the fine? period began, the HERE maroon and white came to life and gave the local fans FEBRUARY 6 something to cheer about, as they came within one point of tying up the game with seconds remaining and then fell behind to give the visiting class A school a 55- 52 victory. Bolin with 17 and Stamp with 12 paced local scoring. BEARCREEK Rebounding from their defeat the preceding night, the THERE Panthers found the range early in the game and cut FEBRUARY 7 loose with a barrage of baskets that kept them in a comfortable lead throughout the encounter and netted them a 49-33 victory. Panther high scorers were Mihalovich with 13 points and Eolin and Stamp with 10 each. KLEIN Roundup's Panthers thoroughly outplayed the Klein TH_,RE Bears throughout the contest, to hang up their second FEBRUARY 11 victory over the orange and white five 46 to 30. After the Sekulich-coached club had moved to a 12-4 first period lead, there was never any doubt as to the outcome of the tussle. Bolin and Mihalovich each hooped 13 counters for the winning maroon and white squad. CENTRAL Friday the 13th was no jinx for the loceris as they HERE broke Billings Centralrs winning streak with a 53-37 FEBRUARY 13 score to g in revenge over an earlier season defeat.

FANTHLRS WIN DISTRICT 7 TOURNEY Roundup High School laid out the welcome mat February 19-21 to ten visiting schools which would compote for the District 7 title. Teams comprising the competition were: I'elstone, Judith Gap, Lavina, Broadview, Shepherd, Musselshell, Klein, RapeJ.je , Harlowton, and Roundup. The Panthers became the District Champions by defeating Her- lowton in the finals by a decisive 41-24 score, and Repelje de- feated Klein in the consolation bracket 63-31. In the championship game the Harlowton Engineers played a stalling game in an attempt to hold down the score. Once the Panthers established a commanding lead they chose to let the team from Harlowton defeat itself by not attempting to shoot. The Panther strategy and the failure of the Engineers to reality they were doomed by continuing the stalling game proved to them that you have to make baskets to win. The Panthers earned their way into the championship game by defeating Klein 73-31 and Rapelje 65-43. The Sportsmanship cup which was donated by the Bunralow Cafe was awarded to a never-say-die Judith Gap aggregation. First and second place trophies were done ted by the New Elk Cafe, third place by the Eat Shoppe and fourth place by the Arena. PANTHERS PLACE FOURTH IN SOUTHERN DIVISIONAL Taking their next two games after dropping a 59-30 tilt to Billings Central, the locals wound up in fourth position in the southern division class B tournament at Hardin March 4-6. Car- bon downed the maroon and white aggregetion 47-42 and then defeated Laurel to enter the state tourney with the champion Hardin five.

Sweeping to a 16-5 first period lead over Manhattan's Tigers, the Roundup quintet was nover headed and went on to post a 56-36 win. Paced by Bolin the locals rolled up a 41-22 score by tin end of the third quarter. Twenty points were tallied by Bolin while Barnett, the opposing center, swished fifteen.

The winners had a scant two point lead at intermission. Kozeliski netted fifteen points for Roundup. 3 TLA I COf'PLFTLS SECOND SEASON The B squed, coached by C-eorge Stagg, closed ita second cage season with hopes that the experience the players picked up will benefit them and their school in the future. All members of thi3 year's cage quintet were either freshmen or sophomores. Chief pointmaker for the underclass team was lanky Don Skagen, who stands well over six feet. Some promising capers may come out of the fol- lowing group of hoopsters in the near future. Although the team encountered a losing season, a lot of spirit was shown by the boys.

He maroon and white thinclads won the district meet and placed second in the Lewistown track and field event. This is a very rood showing considering the fact that most of the Pan- ther track members had never participated in any track meet before. Some outstanding boys were uncovered during the season and prospects for an even better squad in '48 were bright. Letter winners who were lost to the Panthers for the '48 season arc John Turley, Jack McLaughlin, Harry Green, Lawrence Harper, and John Bublich. Arnold Wall placed second in the discus at the Polytechnic event and John Turley took fourth in the low hurdles. Hollowing is a list of the performances turned in by the members of the '47 thinclad team for the throe meets. NAME POINTS ENTERED 1. J. Turley 27 1. Low Hurdles 2. Broad Jump 3. 440 Yard Dash 2.

Elaine Allen ARCHERY I do not know who invented archery, but I susoect Robin Hood of doing it to get even with his enemies. Archery is based on the obvious principle that if you pull a string back- wards and release it quickly, it will make a big impression on your fingers. In practice it is even sinpler--you can just close your eyes and releese the ar- row. But be sure no one is standing within fifty yards of you, because arrows con be unpredictable at times. It is much more fun to hit an object and pre- tend you aimed at it than it is to aim at an object and pretend you hit it. ' hen you get tired of this aim-and- miss process, 3'ou can vary the routine slightly by pointing the arrow at the sky or at yourself. Perhaps you would like to shoot from a kneeling position or with the bow turned upside down. There are many ways of increasing the excite- ment of this sport. The next step is to retrieve the ar- rows—if you can—and try again. This time you night use a score card, but this is very disillusioning to beginners.

Although the steps to the tower room lack three of answering to fateful thirteen, they might have led to the guillotine if one were to .iudge from the grimaces which accompanied all those not answering to the rank of senior into the sanctum to be ping-oonged. Evidently an evil genie sneaked into the photographing room along with the first contingent of bewildered freshmen, for not long after their arrival the lights began to go off at distressingly short intervals, finally necessitating the stationing of Donald Moss behind the stage to combat the genie's magic by wooing the master switch into action. This entailed the establishing of a system of communication from the tower room across the gym which, in its turn, involved violent flagwaving in order to attract that long-suffering young man's attention. While junior boys invariably exclaimed that the camera would never be the same after they were preserved for posterity, the day was successfully concluded in suite of the fact that Bob Bolin's wayward curl, although determinedly out in its place before the shutter clicked, mysteriously appeared in the final prints. Freshmen, probably overwhelmed by the proximity of so many seniors, took no chances and resolutely clutched their money in one fist, not to relinquish their hold until after the camera's eye had focused on them. Having become acclimated the previous year, sophomores, on the whole, were unmoved bv the proceedings except for a few sensitive individuals who,while they parted with their worldly floods willingly enough, seemed somewhat distressed by the seniors, who stood behind the photographer wiggling their ears and saying, Smile!

For tiny tots their house means security and mom until they grow older, and gradually it becomes less and less a place of refuge and more and more a place to eat and sleep. At last it is nothing but a faded memory to be brought out in odd moments and sighed over with a tinge of sadness for its foibles and vagaries. Because of the thinness of the walls', or perhaps because of a freak in construction, sounds in our house wore particularly clear and distinct. In other houses the sound of a door clos- ing was a dull, thudding noise, or even a hollow craak, but in ours it v;as a cl ar, sharp rever- beration in some way peculiarly pleasing to the ear. Following the closing of my bedroom door came a sudden swish caused by the failure of the lock to catch, and my grandmother's door produced a similar sonanec. In addition to the opening and closing sounds of the doors were the varied creaks of each one. A thorough know- ledge of these came in handy in later ye rs when it became neces- sary that any friends of the op- posite s_x leave within so many seconds of the first warning squeak of ny grandfather1s door Footsteps hav a.n important place in my memory. Grandmother's are associated with the kitchen-- mingl d first with the boiling of the breakfast teakettle, lat„r with the sound of midday prepara- tions,and finally with the rattle of the l st pan as it was out away until the next day. Grand- father's disciplinary step nec.o- sit tod a quick dash to the kitchen to help with the dinner dishes. One could re d until they had reached the middle of the dining room floor, when a rush to the dishp n, in -'ddition to giving an appearance of indus- try, would coincide with his ap- pearance in the kitchen doorway. I c-'n think of nothing more neighborly than a front porch across the street from another front porch nd surrounded by several other front porches, and for this reason the dvcnt of the enclosed p tio in back of the house seems somehow a shame. Our westward-looking windows looked out upon an ample member of that vanishing architectural species. Use of it was hindered, however, by the f ct that its open sides admitted mosquitoes as the opened cages admitted lions to the rena in the tiro of Caesar, with re- sults -'lmost as disastrous. A pitcher of l mon°dc combined with the tinkle of glasses and the squeak of the three-seater swing served in some measure to allevi- ate even m-jor evil such as the mosquitoes, but we were unable to cope with the fact thrt the neigh- bor's porches wore for the most p-rt screened in, allowing them to sec us more clearly than v c could sec them. I was about to mention the let's pretend games played in our roomy basement with the aid of Grandma's old dresses and po nted shoes, but I sec my rum- blings will have to stop, since someone in the corner is mumbling about the four-seater swing on our front porch...... and the house I lived in.....
