Incidents are easily forgotten and less easily remembered. ' ith the assistance of Varney we should like te make this RoDEO the vehicle in years to come for memories of this school year, hay each page preserve for you some mem- orable time cr person. T)ed Lcation An annual with an average high school boy as its theme should be dedicated to some person who has great influence over each high school student, who comes in close contact with him in the class room and in extra curricular activities, and who takes great interest in his welfare. Such a person is our principal, Mr. William West. With thoughts of deep aopreciation for his interest, service, and assistance to the students of Roundup high school,we, the RODEO staff of 1950, dedicate this--our 1950 yearbook.

The present roster of your variousclasses is probably very different from that of your beginning class or even that of several years ago. Many of the original group have moved away or dropped while many new members have been welcomed with each passing year. This cycle is one which will become a definite pattern of your life. As the years pass, your classmates will scatter to the far corners of the earth, each seeking his own station in life.Old friends and classmates will become dim in your memory, leaving this, your yearbook of 1950, as a reminder of your many friends, acquaintances, and school days. Numerous wintry evenings in years to come will be spent reliving past friend- ships and activities herein related in words and pictures. Read on, then, the story of Roundup High School for the year 1950. William A. West, Principal, American History, Social Science B. A., M. E., Montana State University Carrie H.

Misa Tripp: (at Cantata practice) Where are the rest of the shepherds? Davar Iverson: Probably outmatching the sheep. When is a baton not a baton? When it's a boomerang. It seems way back when when Marie Mastorovich was in junior high,ter mother bought her a baton. After three years of repeated urging by her mother to get some use out of the thing ,Marie brought her baton to school to the first meeting of the twirlers to get a little practice and ended up being elected secretary- treasurer of the organization. IP u I J What would you do if you had your four years in high school to live over? The seniors would: Noma Crosmer, I'd let my hair grow out, Charlene Edmison, I'd change my name and peroxide my hair. Terry Britton, I'd start a petition to wear slacks in school. Dorothy Fink, I'd put my nerves in a basket and leave them there. Donna Cruikshank, I'd stay dressed up for one whole day. Charlee Pitchford, I would have started stretching when I was a freshman so that I would be a six foot senior. Jeanette Beilman, I'd come to school to get a man, not an education. Dorothy Fredrickson, I would become the loud, boisterous, and talka- tive type. Bob Bolin, I refuse to commit myself. Bob Watts, I'd kill myself. Don Skagen, I'd get a real brainy girl and sluff by on her grades. Dave Iverson, I wouldn't waste four years, I'd do it in three, maybe two. Ed Hilderman, I'd go someplace where they didn’t have English. Bud Goehring, I'd just have to go to school for four more years. Alfred Blcm, I'd figure out a way to raise potato chips. Jo Ann Sayre, I'd carry a hammer and some nails with me every day so that I could put them up and have a place to hang my coat. Larry Lees, I'd have been a hero long before my senior year. Rose Gloder, I'd try to arrange it so that we could have fewer tests and longer vacations. Jean Bilant, I'd get some of the kids together and demand a five hour school day with five one-hour periods. Marian Wacker, I'd be mascot for the basketball team. Kathryn Dylma, I'd play tne tuba instead of the French horn. Mary Ame Kuni, I'd try to organize a girls' football team. Rose Marie Loucas, I'd go to England so I wouldn't have to take American History. Marie Mastorovich, I'd take all the subjects on the ground floor so I wouldn't have to climb the stairs. Betty McKenna, I wouldn't be in as much—I'd be in more; I wouldn't study as much—I'd study more. In other words, I'd be myself— only a little more. Natalie Glotch, I'd finish school and become an old maid—fooled you, didn't I? Julianna Rauch, I'd run for class president all four years on a platform of banishing all tests. Lucille Lloyd, I would try out for cheerleader. Ada Jorgenson, J would have ended up as a senior. Mabel Harper, I d wear red every day out of defiance. J-Ligh School Week Happy to be on their way, Marie Mastorovich, Charlee Pitchford, Rose Gloder, Natalie Glotch, Jo Ann Sayre, and Mrs, Wood started for Bozeman on Thursday, April 27. Impatience increased as the girls grew inquisitive about the next few days. Gallatin county grew nearer and finally they arrived in Bozeman and M.S.C., where they registered and were assigned their sleeping quarters. Houses known as Quads became home for the next two days. The girls stayed in the recreation room of Quad A with girls from three other towns. Snow dampened their spirits, but not for long. Sightseeing and becoming acquainted with Quad A and the Student Union filled out Thursday afternoon. College talent was presented during an evening show. Different college organ- izations offered their talented members for this entertainment. Hungrily the girls hurried to breakfast Friday morning. Breakfast was fol- lowed by a General Assembly where the girls heard an address by Mr. Eugene Savage of Butte, Montana. Occult assistance was desired by the students as they worried, wondered, and worked on the difficult questions included in the College Aptitude tests Friday morning. Open house was held by the campus departments Friday evening following a banquet for the students. Listening to a concert by the Bobcat band made Friday evening more enjoyable. Waltzing in the Student Union Ballroom completed Friday's schedule. Each student was offered an opportunity to inquire about college life during discussion groups held Saturday morning. Efforts were rewarded when awards viere presented at a General Assembly before noon Saturday. Knowing that Saturday night still held excitement, Mrs. Wood dropped each girl off at her home in time to prepare for the 1950 Junior Prom. SENIOR SNEAK DAY APRI L 19, 19 50 A yawn, a toot, and then a car. A 'hello', get in, watch out for the jar; The Arena, get out, a check of all, A drive, a laugh, the cars seem to crawl; A river, a deer, several jokes, A piece of cake, a town, a stop for cokes; Some gas, a s-t-r-e-t-c-h, and some air. Another drive, a song, and we're there! A swim, a hike, or an investigation, An apple, a creek, some vacation. A picnic, a rest, and a game. Running, laughing, all glad they came. Another swim, some cards, a walk� Ice cream, pop, and lots of talk. Start back, a blow out, everyone stopping, A spare, a new town, and some shopping. A story, a sigh, all home by 10, Tired, happy lads, lasses, women, and men! The orchestra clays; Will you be listenin’? In RHS the snow’ll be glistenin'. April 30 is right, 8;30 at night, Dancing in our Winter Wonderland. In a sparkling Winter Wonderland handsome couples danced to the strains of Gene Strosky's orchestra during the prom given by the class of ’50. Frequent visits were made to the log cabin for refreshments, and dainty ice-skaters served the dancers as they sat at their tables. An experienced senior team completely subdued a green but hard fighting freshman team, Friday, September 10, during the initiation tournament held annually ’'n the assembly room at R.H. S. A dance was held in the evening as celebration and consolationfor the winners and losers respectively. The seniors were well equipped for the fray with soap, towels, pans, bottles, and crackers, while the frosh, arrayed in long underwear, gunny- sacks, and cardboard shoes,relied solely on a newly devised, untried piece of apparatus--a neck piece which smelled and looked rather like garlic and onions. (This new equipment proved to be more of an impediment than an asset to its users.) Jerry Pratt, freshman, came out of his bout sputtering and foaming at the mouth as his senior opponent had jabbed him with a left in the mouth and a right in the eye with a soapy shaving brush. His manager, Pat Moss, tried her utmost to aid him by shaving off the soap with a table knife--but with no success. A new orderwas brought about duringthis tourna- ment whensome of the participants were carried into the fight instead of out of it. Two of these were the aforementioned Jerry Pratt and another freshman, Beverly Hunter. Beverly’s daddy, Larry Bickle, did his best to refreshhis daughter with a baby bottle full of pop, but she fell asleep in his lap--a K.O. for the seniors.' One of the frosh team, Bob Kern, arrived late and added a little burlesque atmosphere to the affair as he stripped to his box'ng outfit right in the ri ng. Rumor has it that he had bet all his money on himself and when he lost, his manager, Sally Britton,had to auction off his wardrobe to pay ex- penses . Han Rom,another of the frosh team, got a little over-confident,and with a flower vaseand water she did a little too much toasting herself. By fight time she was too water-logged to fight. Another similar mishap took placewhen Charles McKeen ate a meal prepared by Pat Lind. It seems she fedhim burnt toast, pickles, and moth-ball-like candy. The last word from the hospital was that he would completely recover. Referees were Mrs. Annie Wood and Mr. Walen Lilly, senior sponsors. The fight was held before members of the Roundup High Association. This will be the last tournament in this association for the seniors, but the frosh will spend the next three years gathering experience and ’’know-how. Then they will enter a like tournament from which they hope to come victorious. Norma Crosmer se Gloder ' M A Y May Queen.........

Purity Dean, our chaste and chased heroine, faints after arriv- ing at Uland Inn during a raging storm. She is discovered lying un- conscious on the couch by Leander, •who immediately falls in love with her. She is befriended by Jonathan Logan,-vho runs Uland Inn, and Mrs. Logan, who runs Jonathan. Within a short time Mortimer Frothingham, the black-hearted villain, arrives and does his best to break Purity's proud spirit andto end the romance between her and Leander. As added complications to the romance, a deserted baby is found in a basket in the barn and Mortimer plants a suspicion as to where it came from in the minds of Mrs. Ethelinda Hewlitt, who loves to boast of her social position, and Imogene Pickens, hard-hearted and snobbish sister of E. Z. Pickens, son of the owner of Pickens' Pickles . Jed Lunn, an ex-convict, Mortimer's unwilling tool, Alison Hewlitt, Mrs. Hewlitt's young daughter, Mrs. Faith Hogue, a guest at Uland Inn, Letty Barber, her nervous maid,and Nellie Morris, the beautiful cloak model, all assist in bringing the story to a gratifying close. Purity's secret is revealed, the vil- lain is taken into custody, the baby is reunited with her mother, and Leander's invention is sold, bringing security to the Logans as well as to Purity and Leander. 1.

My Dad hit and I kept hop- ing he would miss....After I became a little older, I acquired an uncanny s«nse of logic. One summer a girl from Oklahoma artd I found a barrel of tar. We covered the bottoms of our shoes with the tar. We, naturally, had a good reason for this. They cover roads with tar and the roads don't wear out for years and years, even with cars and trucks running over them, so why wouldn't our shoes last for years and years if we covered the soles with tar? Gloria Wooten I was born on a Monday morning of March 13, 1933,in Webb City, Oklahoma. I lived there for about a year and a half and started on what I didn't know then would be a long journey. This August I came to Montana. This was my sixteenth year of travel. George Strader When I was just learning how to walk, I found a beehive and sat down in front of it. Before my father came I did not get stung, but when he discovered me and came to rescue me, we both got stung. Joan Steen As there was a lack of girls in the neighborhood, my only playmates were boysj thus I naturally became a tomboy. I engaged in all their dirt fights and cave digging, being cowboys and Superman, and scouting the fields. Darlene Meznarich I spent five years in New Orleans, during which I wit- nessed the Mardi Gras. Although I was just a tot, I still remember the floats and the trinkets that were thrown from them. Shirley Williams My dad took me to school the first day and I figured that he would stay all day. I was greatly disappointed when he left. Lenore Klos I started in my elementary school career by giving the teacher's son a nosebleed, pulling my only girl classmate's hair, and turning a terrified gopher loose in the classroom. Laura Brown On a cold night of March 5, 1931, came the howling of the wind and the splattering of rain drops. Out of a rain- drop came a small cry oi a baby. I suppose, as mother said, it was I. Pauline Steffans At the age of fourteen I bought a Model T Ford. This little monster of Henry s was stripped, so X sat on the gas tank and hung on to the steering wheel. One day when I was going up a big, steep hill, the steering wheel came off. I fell off and rolled back down the hill, I grabbed the steering wheel and managed to catch the car by the time it was halfway down the hill. Bob Riley The airst three school years of ray life vrere spent at a country school where my only school friends were cousins, sisters, and a brother. The teacher was even a distant relation. After the second year we moved the schoolhou.se out to the ranch, because the only pupils were nv sisters and brother, Darleene Adolph I guess I was somewhat of a problem child to ray parents, as they are telling everyone how mean I was.....The first eight years of school weren’t bad, but in high school you could play checkers on my report card. Richard Lekse My folks were very pleased at my being a boy, as they had anticipated an all girl family.....On my fifth birthday, I thought myself to be quite a man and so did my father, as he presented me with a shining, new B. B. gun. But after my breaking two windows in the car, he decided a poo gun would be much safer and less expensive....Upon entering high school I had finally started to grow and, before I knew it, I was nearly six feet tall. Bob Bolin When I was in the second grade, a boy and I would chase some girls all the way home from school. One day we got fooled ! The teacher made us stay after school until the girls got home. Betty Bublich I was bom on October 13, 1933, in Musselshell, Montana. I have been told that the day was bright and sunshiny. I cannot remember anything that happened to me before I was old enough to go to school. Irene Dawson At the ripe old age of three months I started a fad in babydom.;i I had a haircut complete with bangs and bob......The first school play I can remember participating in was during my second year in school. I played the part of a worried mother. This was the first of the many mother roles I was to portray in future years.....I have always been proud of my Norwegian ancestry. I have also been proud of my Norwegian name. Only recently did I discover that Inez is Spanish or Portugese, not Norwegian. Inez Stenerson ’ hen I was five my brotuer was on the local football team, and every tine they had practice I would crgr and screen until he would consent to take me. After a v hile the other boys got used to seeing me tag along, and so I became their fullback. Martha Ashcroft On the morning of June 2k, 1933, a little, pink, blue-eyed, ten-and-a-half pound bouncing baby boy was brought into this world....Amidst all the confusion and uproar of the world, I am still in Roundup, still the bouncing baby boy who is almost grown up. Bill Scritchfield My neighborhood pals and I were known as the Gas House Gang, because there were so many of us all of the same age. We never saw a girl and if we did, we would run and hide or blush. Donald Kenczka My school years started when I was at the ripe age of six. I was one of the shortest in the class—as I have been most of my school years....During my third and fourth grades, my girl friends were always sneaking away and wouldn't play with me. One always used the excuse tnat she had forgotten her ball some- place and had to go get it. Shirley Thomas When I was two, I wanted a dog, which I didn't get, and did not want a brother, which I did get....In the second grade we made Indians wnich consisted of a few pieces of wire, cloth, and an apple for the head. I was thoroughly disappointed when my doll looked more like a shriveled apple than an Indian. Louise Skagen Football, basketball, and baseball are my favorite sports, and I enjoy playing them. But I like it best on the field and stream,...High school may mean just a graduation diploma to some students, but it means my future to me. Bobby Gray I have escaped all childhood diseases except measles....I have attended the Roundup schools since I was six years old. There I found much work and some fun. Jim Moffat When I was going to grade school, our main trick was to turn the clock back if anyone was going to be late. Thus we were never tardy and usually got out early....I was always having to write a tig long sentence a thousand or two thousand times on the board or on paper. Bill Pitchford I wasn't very old when I started ice skating, but it was a matter of do or die. My cousin and brother took me out to the middle of the pond and left me. They said I had to eitner skate back or sit there and freeze. I skated because it was too cold to crawl back. Adeline Hilderman I was a good baby—so good tney had to wake me up to feed me. I liked to sleep and I still do....I started riding horses at the age of seven. I used to fall off a lot, because my horse was so fat. Jane Steen I went through the stages of being local barber for the whole neighbor- hood, building tents with my mother's best blankets, playing dress-up and playhouse, and trying my- best to be a lady in between. Ann Johnson When I was little, I liked to run away from the house. One day my father found me on the other side of town. My father cured me of this by tying me to the clothes line. Homer Van Laethem I was bom on September 9 1933. I don't remember if it was rainy, snowy, or a nice Indian Summer. I never did have a very good memory. Margie Hall My little brother and I used to play barbershop pretty often. I would cut big chunks of his hair out of the places I didn't think my mother would notice. When it was his turn, he had to be satisfied -with shaving the hair from my arms. Girls weren't supposed to have their hair cut anyway. Terry Crowley The ten years I have gone to school have dragged on very slowly, until now—I hope—I have only two years left. Bob Steffans In the second grade, my cousin and I had a cheese box full of paper book markers we had been cutting out of scraps of art paper each day. One day the teacher found out about the book markers. I shall probably never know why she made us dump them all into the waste basket....I hope to make aviation my life job. Jean Nesheim When I was small, I remember the thing I liked to do most was to play cowboys and Indians.. The reason I remember it so well is that I got shot in the jaw with a bow and arrow. John Palagyi The first time my cousin saw me he said that he would give my mother his cat fer me. I have always wondered why she refused, as she is very fond of cats. Maxine Watkins Since the start of school, I have been sore all over at least once a week. The cause—football I David Stefanik One of ray greatest pleasures was visiting school before Iras old enough to attend. The teacher did not appreciate tnese visits, but to me they were won- derful....My school work nas been interrupted occasionally by I4-H Club trips which I wouldn't have missed for the world. Robert Hougardy Some teachers said I was all bad and others said I just got badin streaks ....They say all great men are dead and I do feel a little sick. Jimmy McLaughlin When I was about eight years old, we had our porch enameled a light green. I thought it would make a lovely blackboard—so that is what I used it for J Helen Barghultz One thing I remember about my first day of school was freshman initiation in the high school. I can still see those freshmen in their gunny sack skirts. Now my own initiation is a thing of the past and I am looking forward to being a senior so I can initiate my brother. Eyvonne Sandvig In addition to my parents my immediate family consisted of two brothers, two sisters, one cat, one dog, and one niece....My heart was cruelly broken in the first grade, because I had to sit on the dirty floor in my new taffeta dress for something I didn't do. Letitia Evans You open the door and the cold, icy wind blows through you and seems to hit the door behind you. Each morning as the wind fills out your coat and accompanies you on your trip to school, you become more firmly convinced that the designer of flare back coats is a Southerner. As you s tep out into the snow, you hope there's no ice under it, because the black and blue spots are still there from the falls of the last tvro days. Since you have to come to school, you like to walk in slush best. As you slop along, no matter how careful you are, some of the wet snow slips into your boot. This sort of snow also provides students with the best excuses. If your feet get wet, you get a cold and then-------. You also can't pic’: up your feet very well in this kind of snow. After two blocks your hands begin to sting, and you begin to feel the weight of that load of books. Your head scarf has slipped off your head, too, although it was tied tight enough to choke you when you left the house. At last, with your nose and ears as red as cherries and a slip and a slide, 3rou come in sight oi the school. IS. M.

Music was played by the Soft Winds as we started across a bridge down to the sidewalk cafe, where punch was being served. After the Grand March, led by Donald Kenczka, Bud Goehring, and Jo Ann Sayre, we danced around and through the Arch of Triumph.

Their appearances certainly had improved over those of the afternoon. We danced to the music of the 5 Aces. It was one day and evening never to be forgotten. a ,. October 14 Dear Diary, After the football game was over,we went to the old gym where the juniors enter tf ir-pd at' their annual party. We gave an ear to some hep piano playing exe- cuted by Mr. Cummings. He then gave way to Chuck Maris, Glen ffohnson, and Homer Van Laethem. It was great fun.

Dressed in an array of old and unmatched clothes, Delmar Cross and Jeanie Crocker were chosen King and Queen of Hobo- land . 3 Hits and a Miss, the new sophomore class dance band, made their debut at this party.

The Council's year of activities was highlighted by a School Spirit Week held from January 30 to February 3� Another project that was supported and assisted by the Council was the passing of an 8-mill levy for next year's school funds. The Council has been working these last weeks of school on a recommendation of Activity Tickets for next year, which will be submitted to the school adminstrators for approval. These and several minor projects have made this an active year for the Student Council.

For instance, Eary Anne Kuni wonders what an off- the-shoulder green one is, w h i le Pauline Steffans claims writing a story with red ink gives it sparkle. There's always the prob- lem for AlfredHLom to find typing paper when he's going to type. Then Dorothy Fredrickson matches the trip to the typing room with the song Slipping Around, Noma Crosmer handled her job as exchange editor by keeping the exchanges up to date so the class could have fresh reading matter in spare moments. Chuck Haris and David Iverson with fumbling help from the rest of us spent hours in the mimeograph room runningihe paper off.

At 8:40 the fight v ould begin. I thought with dread of the day ahead of me, for my feelings would be completely disregarded. No sooner had the 8:30 bell rung, than the students began storming in, and I could hear the books moan as they were carelessly tossed on the desks. The boy who sat behind me began scraping his muddy shoes on my back when he realized the boy in front of him was absent. Hearing me squeak in oain, the teacher immediately asked him to stop. The bell soon rang, but ny joy was short indeed, for the second period class came in. Sentimental Sammy must be madly in love, for everyday he adds another carved memorial in me aery of Susie. The third period brought in I.'ary who loves to chew gum and does so constantly. However, at the end of the period, she sticks it on all parts of me. So it goes from one period to another, one day to another. By the end of the day my scarred front rives people the impression that students don't believe in the saying, Fools' names and fools' faces are always seen in public places. But I should not complain, for I am only a desk in a schoolroom. D. F.

By the end of the year, however, 27 of these girls had either drop- ped or moved to some other school. Those that have remained in the organization will agree that they have benefited not only from the stand- points of the exercise and good health, but also from having the opportunity o f working together in teams, planning the games and other activities. The sponsor and officers worked up a point system which has been followed in distributing points toward an award. Volleyball, basketball, badminton and tumbling were the sports enjoyed bv the group this vear. Officers of the group were Darlene Meznarich, presi- dent, Barbara Fletcher, vice-president, and Marian Wacker, secretarv-treasurer. It's really volleyball, but the way G. A. A. plays it it's more like folly- ball. Of course, there is a correct way of serving, but each member seems to have developed a personal method. One girl uses a little number called Joe. She doubles up her fist and hits the ball with a swing that ends up in her own jaw. This method results in the ball's hitting the ceiling and bouncing back at the server's feet. The palm method is a more advanced technique. As vou swat the ball, a loud pools heard and then a thud--as i t lands in the bleachers. The rule book doesn't say anything about how impressive a team should look as it takes the floor, so G. A. a. makes its own rules. The eight girls line up and the server yells side out as she begins. When the ball does go over the net, the more sensitive ones just stand still from horror. On the other hand, others scream from surprise and tnrow themselves into a combina- tion of modern dance and ballet. No one seems to mind the actions of these dving swans or fluttering snowflakes becausethoy're plavin? vollevballJ Margaret Hobi, Marie Mastorovich, Patsy Moss, Ada Jorgenson, Lois Jorgenson, Pat Lind, Dot Jackovich, Betty Bu’olich, Martha Good, Betty Barghultz, Kathryn Dylina, Miss Wendel Kneeling, left to right Delores Adolnh, Terry Crowley, Pat Stalcup, Marian Kozeliski, Roberta Conway, Nan Rom, Shirley Gray, Virgi e A7elson, Martha Ashcroft, Georgia Brown,Norma Nesheim,Denise Van Laethem Seated, left to right Jane Steen, Jean Crocker, Joan Werner,Barbara Fletcher, Darlene Meznarich, Marian V acker, Imelda Beilman, Frances Guertin, Joan Steen Standing, left to right The National Assemblies Programs stand for good enter- tainment, plus the skipping of certain classes. The first National Assembly Program on September 20 was a musical one; not ordinary music, mind you, but music played on chimes, the Vibra-harp, and the Marimba. The Wallace Chime players presented us with many beautiful and popular songs. An unusual program on October 6 was the Owen Mynah Birds, Skipper, Butch, and Joe. These beautiful birds, from the dark jungles and mountains of Siam, provided delightful entertainment withtheir unusual vocal chords. Joe howled the wolf call. Skipper ran up and down the scale, and Butch whistled, You're In The Army Now. Mysteries from Many Lands and the miracle with rope were amazing puzzles offered by the Lewis Entertainers on November 7. Alberta, the ventrilocuist, with her pal Jerry, brought smiles of amusement to the most sober faces I December 7 took us exploring into the marine underworld, while Marguerite Shoemaker showed us different and brightly colored fish and animals. Her deep sea diving career, o f which she told her experiences,is fascinating and enjoyable. Sports fans were especially interested in the archery display by Don and Ginger. They dramatized the story of William Tell and the skill attained by shooting the flame of a candle. A humorous account of a deer hunting trip added spice to the program. Mr. America of 1948 was featured on the program of February 7. He performed many feats of strength and showed the muscle posesvhich had won for him the Mr. America title. To add a few laughs to the ohs and ahs of amazement, he played three tunes (all he knew) on a cornet. A lyceum for the music lovers I The Ritz Trumpeteers, an all-star instrumental quartet, brought comedy, novelty, and harmony to RHS on April 5. Instruments featured on the program were a saxophone, bassoon, clarinet, trombone, and trumpets. The quartet was under the direction of Mr. Ben Ritzenthaler. They played classics from the masters, old familiar classics, and standard overtures. National Assembl es When Coach James R. Huss,Roundup High's athletic di rec cor, issued the callfoi all football enthusiasts to report or prac- tice sessions, the outlook for the season ahead was indeed dismal. Only five of the twenty- three men who turned out had ever plaved in a high school football game before. The basic fundamentals of football were drilled upon in earlv practice sessions to acquaint the inexperienced squad with the game. Using the Split T formation, the Panthers played an on- ap-ain-off-again’orand of football, at times showing considerable strength. They struggled tnrough a disastrous seven game season without a win. Only two members of the team will be lost through gradu- ation, and next year the remaining squad members promise to field a heavy team with a year's experience under their belts. This combination should add up to a winning club. The Panthers played home games with Harlowton, Worden, Forsvth, Big Timber, and Red Lodge, and traveled to Hardin and Harlowton.

This year Roundup had an increased coaching 3taff--a regular coach and a line coach--and a public address system with Mr. rrest as announcer. What next--the platoon system? The boys had quite a time this year with ap- paratus trouble. Homer Van Laethem rushed into the game wearing someone else's helmet riding on his ears. Result--sore ears. Bob Wier went through the season with a helmet that was too loose. Re- sult-black eyes and a swollen nose. Donald Kenczka's pants were a little loose, too. Result-- no pants, almost I Did you happen to see Johnny Fisco carrying a football to class one day? That was his penalty for - fumbling so much in practice. This football season was pretty rough on 3cb Kern, too. Ke got lost in Billings on the return trip from Hardin, ran into a game without his hel- met,and lockedhis key in his locker several times. The spectators and cheerleaders added color and excitement with their yelling. Pat Murphy, while standing on the sidelines at one game, got so excited that he tumbled over backwards. Then, to add to all points of the season safety ! this, Roundup's first two were scored by Forsyth--a Coach Huss called the firstof this season's basketball prac- tice sessions on November 11.

The Locomotives rambled over the Maroon and White 50 to 37. High speed offensive attacks gave Laurel a lead which was never threatened. Don Kenczka hit 14 to lead the Panthers. Playing one of their best games the Panthers nipped the Engineers 49 to 48. The outcome was uncertain all the way. Kenczka, Skagen, and Harper each hit 8 points for the locals. After giving the Rams a rough game,the Panthers lost 46 to 40, Both teams made 16 field goals, but the Rams were superior at the free throw line. Kenczka and Wier led the scoring with 10 each. Klein's Bears upset the locals 26 to 25. Although the Panthers had trouble on the small floor, they lost the game at the free throw line.

This year's squad consisted mainly of fresh- men and sophomores. Inexperience was the main disadvantage to the team, but they made up forthis defect by displaying good spirit and excellent teamwork throughout the season. As a result of their hard work and ability to learn, a good team canbe anticipated next year. A few of the boys on this year's B team will be seen on the varsity next year, filling the gap left by seniors.

Of these four games they split with Laurel, and lost two to Billings Central. In the first night baseballgame in R. H. 3. history, the Panthers came from behind to down a fighting Laurel Locomotive nine by a score of 5-3. The odds were reversed at Laurel, how- ever, where the Locomotives took an early lead and held it. Roundup was unable to score against atrio of Laurel moundsmen, and the final score read Laurel 9, Roundup 0. A classy Billings Central team with their designs on the State Championship took the measure of the Panthers in the first two games of a best two-out-of-three game series in the sub- district tournament. Scores were 6-5 and-4-0. The Panthers weakness proved to be their hitting, as their failure to come through in the clutches often cost them needed runs. Roundup's play throughout the season was highlighted by the steady pitch- ing of Captain Kay Mihalovich. Since the team was composed largely of underclassmen, the Panthers should field one of the stronger teams of the district in the near future. Those earning letters and their positions are as follows: Kay Mihalovich--Pitcher Bill McXiernan--Third Base Pitcher Dick Pratt--Shortstop Don Kenczka--Catcher Don Skagen--First Base George Brychta--Second Base Bill Scritchfield--Third Base 3c Center Field John Palagyi—Left Field Chuck Powell--Center Field 3c Right Field Bud Goehring--Right Field RACK 1949 Gary Finkle, Roundup High athlete, won first place honors in class B hirrh jump, at the 43rd annual Interscholastic track and field meet held at Missoula last May 1949.
