THE BITTER ROOT 31 Mentor Class li)tsiorp .lust four years ago, one hundred and seventy-five frightened youngsters en- tered Missoula County High School as Krishna n. Like all Freslnnen. we wandered vaguelv around for several weeks, usually iat • to our classes f r tin very insig- nificant reason that we eouldn’t find the right classrooms. When we grew more accustomed to the wonders of M. 11. K.. we called a class meeting to elect our officers. Jack Stone was chosen president: Lois .Jones. ice president: Dorothy Dixon, secretary-treasurer; and Karl Marry, sergeant-at-arms. We selected green and gold as our colors and the motto. Onward and I pward. Our first public appearance was at the annual initiation, where we were ad- dressed by Colonel llee .a Liar, and then forced to crow like roosters and do other foolish stunts. During our freshman year we gave two successful parties and a sleighride. In the Freshman-Sophomore track meet and the F reshman- Sophomore debate we were victorious. Thus, we began our custom of doing un- usual things by having our numerals engraved on the Konah debate shield, the first freshman class to gain that honor. Anne Ilall won second place in the Dixon declamation contest and Matt Pearce made the school debate team. Also, in various phases of athletics, our class was well represented, as it has been during our entire high school course. Our sophomore officers were: Matt Pearce, president; l)oroth Dixon, ice- president ; Ruth Smith, secretary-treasurer; and Flarl Marry, sergeant-at-arms. Mesides several dances, we held a very successful carnival. To our great disgust, no Freshman initiation was held, but in various ways we helped to torment these newcomers. Again. Matt Pearce was on the school debate team. We won the Freshman-Sophomore debate and once more had “ ID engraved on the Konah debate shield, thus winning another unusual honor. As .Juniors, we accomplished many things. Once more Matt Pearce was class president, while Ruth Smith was vice president, and Oakley Coffee was secretary-treasurer. This year Miss Wright was chosen as our class sponsor. The Junior minstrel show was a great success, but. of course, the ig event was the Junior Prom. As a result of various attempts at money-making, we presented the school with a one-hundred-dollar Liberty bond. Matt Pearce won the state extemporaneous speaking contest, while Anne Hall won the state declamation contest. Hazel Bombard won a place in the state essay contest. Finally, after three years of work and fun, we attained the mighty position of Seniors. Eugene Simerson was elected our president: Dorothy Peterson, vice president; Dorothy Dixon, secretary-treasurer. Another indicati n of our class spirit was our decision to publish an Annual. In the Dixon declamation contest, the winners. Helen Streit, Katherine Craighead and Eleanor Hucklin, were all members of the Senior class. Earl Marry was captain of the football team and George Forrest of the basketball team this year. Other members of the Senior class were on these teams, while the Senior girls have had good teams both in basketball and baseball. In all phases of life the Senior class has been active. Now. as we recall the different events of our high school
