BITTER ROOT -9- Uur Future Prospects The year started auspiciously with the overwhelming vote for the bonds for the new addition. llnder the conditions it was an especially noteworthy vote of confidence in the high school. The slow but certain progress ot the building opera- tions has through the year been a source of inspiration and encouragement because off the better working conditions prom- ised for the future. The school has won its usual share of distinctions ef one sort and another and the student body has shown its usual fine co-operation with the facility and the management of thc school. Next year with our greatly cn- larged and improved plant, we should be able to give still better service to the boys and girls of the community. G. A. Kl+1Tl,'IIAM.

Freshmen, however, merely gas up the flivvers and get on to school. They seem to have the same mark tw shoot at-the papoose for the Wampum belt that meant Warriorhood, the freshman for the sheepskin that means manhood, or at least freedom from school conventions. The papoose had to sit and listen to a medicine man extol the miracles and Wrath of Manitou, the frosh go through nearly the same rites except that the subjects are varied. While the Indians learned naught of art, yet they had their lore of the woods to learn. We fear that they had to memorize many of the old legends. Well, freshmen, it isn't such a had old world! Just get out your quiver full of sharp wits and shoot at that A target. You'll get your Wampum if you try. The freshmen, though they feel their importance as individuals, did not organize as a class this year. 1 I Q. N 'T 4 '- f iid I ,ly t me I ' 1 X 'l :gil l j. n QQ s , - ,,-N51 , THE.

THE BITTER ROOT 1..24L Fragments from The Log of the Junior Class Dedication: T0 NEPTITNE Our good ship is sailing toward harbors kissed by sunshine, Friendships, high hopes, and laughter fill her hold, Honor, her helmsman, warns, Hlladdies, keep the high seas! Bell buoys clamor, Uliaddies all, beware the rocks and shoals! Neptune, Neptune, don't think we scrn their warning, We try to catch their meaning although laughter rocks the hold. Neptune, Neptune Cbless your little fishesj, Our lighthouse lights are gleaming, Our scorning but a seeming, And our cargo is pure gold. -0, The Secret of Junior Success: Hard work and laughter. Our Colors: Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green, Red, Indigo, Violet. Our Motto: Never say die, keep to the right, never put ogltill tomor row: the early worm, sobriety, truth, courage, rolled oats. 1 if Our Helmsman: Honor. Our Lighthouse: Conscience. Our Anchor: A, B, C, D. :ig Our Crew: The Juniors Who Never Say Die. ..-0...

DAVY JONES 'S LOCKER ln Davy Jones 's locker lies the Wealth gone down at sea, Though some folks pray it may come up, 'tis said that ne 'er can be. There are silks and satins shimmering, and rubies, jade, and pearls, And faithful, singing sailor lads, and dainty, laughing girls. ,Oi There are many stately ships, lazl, That over wide seas roam,- Anzl many hardy sailors, lad, Who line on the bring foam,- Bnt there never was a prettier, lad, Than the frigate, '32, Nor a braver crew of seamen, lad, Than the Juniors, tried ancl true.

'l931 FOO'I'l3Al,iIi SQUAD ootlballll Summary The outlook for a successful football season was exceedingly dark when t'oach Stegner called for volunteers on September 2. Unly three veterans, Captains Jacobsen and Shupe and Quarterback Sayler appeared in suits from last yearls teamg but with their usual determination and the fighting spirit of the boys, Coach Stcgner and Line-Coach Thrailkill produced a team that reached the state semi-finals and won the respect of the fans throughout the state. Much credit is deserved by those boys who did not make the team but stayed out through the entire season in order to make the first team possible. By winning four of their seven games and losing only to Butte, the state cham- pions, and the University freshmen, the Purple and Gold warriors established a record of which the school can be justly proud. Further team recognition was won when Sayler, quarterback, and Jacobsen, end. were placed on the all- statc teams.

His con- sistent work throughout the season placed him on coaches' first all-state team and on Scott's second all- statc team. Shupy finished his second year at halfback in great style. His hard tackling and low smashing line-drives featured all of his games. He was partic- ularly outstanding in the semi-final game at Butte. Coaches' and Scott's honorable mention. Rudy was outstanding in every game of the season. His speed combined with his shifty broken field running kept the opponents in hot water at all times. The combination of his offensive and de- fensive work left no doubt as to his high standing among the players of the state. He was placed on Scott ts all-state team. THE BITTER ROOT -51..

Eddy', was elected by a wide majority to lead next year's eleven. llIully was our flyweight star back. Ilis speed and ability to run the ends and his vicious tackling more than made up for what he lacked in weight. He won his fame by taking a pass and running twenty yards for a touchdown in the last minute of the Kalis- pell game, breaking the 6 to 6 tie and thereby win- ning the VVestern District championship. llobbs used his weight and toughness to advan- tage in every game. Few gains could be made off tackle with Hobbs in there. Ile will be back next year. Neff was only a Soph this year, but it made no difference, for he stepped in and held down a guard position. He will be back for many more games.

Team C Continued J '4llIae was especially good in driving. His spe- cialty was charging' in and stopping' the other teams' plays before they started. This was Mattson's first year of football, but his size and fight enabled him to develop into a tackle of first class. He was particularly outstand- ing in the Helena and Kalispell games. Chris was valuable to the club through his exceptional ability to pass. His long bullet passes kept the opponents worried throughout the game. Muller was new to the position this year but he was always in there, fighting to the last gun. He will be backing the line for the Purple and Gold again next year.

Ili had the tough luck of breaking his arm before any games were played and was out for the rest of the season, but he was awarded a letter on his sportsmanship and his playing last year. Daigle was playing his first year for the Purple and Gold at guard. Although small he filled his po- sition better than many larger men. liis ability and fight put him on the bottom of many a play. t'Zem was our good looking boy. lt was thought a marvel by all who saw him that a man could be so good looking and still play football. The harder they came, the better he liked it.

MISSOULA, 25, HELENA, 0 The following Saturday Missoula took revenge on Helena with a 25 to 0 thumping. Outclassed in every department of the game, the Bengals never threatened at any time. Spectacular runs by Akin, Shupe, and Sayler paved the way for Missoula's scoring. Jacobsen and Mattson were outstanding defensively. MISSOULA, 13, KALISPELL, 6 In the most thrilling game of recent years Missoula Won the Western District championship from the unscored-on Flathead club. With the score 6 to 6 and a minute to play, Akin took a pass from Sayler and sprinted 20 yards for the winning counter. Perfect teamwork and co-ordination, combined with an unequaled fighting spirit, made the victory possible. Practically every member of the team starred.

The Purple and Gold quint started in Whirlwind fashion by decisively trimming Loyola, Hamilton, and Plains, and barely losing to the crack Miles City team of Custer County. The Christmas vacation seemed to slow basket- ball activities down, and from then on, although playing in championship form at times, the team was unable to play good ball consistently.

THE. BITTER ROOT -50- Games and Scores During the season the Purple and Gold warriors took the scalps from nine of their twenty foes, beating powerful teams such as Butte, Butte Central, Lewistown, and Loyola. The more important games were: MISSOULA, 28, LEVVISTOVVN, 26. On the first trip of the season the locals dropped their first game at Great Falls but came back strong to trim the smooth Fergus quint. Sayler was outstanding, collecting a total of 13 points. MISSOITLA, 26, BUTTE, 16 With a polished passing attack, Missoula easily downed Butte in a fast struggle on the home court. MISSOULA, 13, BUTTE, 23 Hampered by the narrow gym, Missoula took a beating at the hands of the much improved Purple and 1Vhite club. Only Jacobsen and Wilcox were able to find the net. MISSUULA, 19, BUTTE CENTRAL, 18 In a hair-raising thriller, the Purple and Gold quint downed Central on the latter's court. Sayler's last minute basket saved the day for the victors. MINING DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Missoula took fourth place in the Mining District tournament. After losing their first game to Deer Lodge, the team turned around and with a brilliant display of basketball, eliminated Butte Central with a 21-19 defeat. The next game found Missoula and Deer Lodge again matched, but this time the tables were turned, and Missoula coasted forward with another victory. The last night of the tournament, Missoula lost to the fast Butte team, and took fourth place. The Purple and Gold quint had a chance to make the State tournament because of the arrangement in which the winner of fourth in the Mining District plays the winner of third place in the Yellowstone District to decide which team goes, but the great expense and inconvenience of such a game made it advisable for Missoula to withdraw and let Belfry go without the usual play-off game. i THE BITTER ROOT 7611. ff, l Daigle, Neff, Christian, VVilCox, McClain, Hobbs, Muller Dishman, Sager, Zempke, Zadra, Sayler, Jacobsen, Hamilton, Maroyes, Akin, Shupe The 'G 9' Club The HMM Club is an honorary organization composed of all boys who have won letters in football, basketball, or track.

THE BITTER ROOT -79- The Konah The Konah continues to be an able representative of school life, with news and features of interest to both students and parents. It has supported campaigns f: r various activities of the school, and has represented accurate and interesting school news. lts editorials and feature columns have been widely read because of their variety and buoyant spirit. The paper was established in 1913, and since then many former staff members have been prominent in the journalism field. Flar- ence Streit, foreign correspondent, and John Hutchens, dramatic critic of two of New York 's leading dailies, are former staff mem- bers. On December 18 the staff celebrated the seventeenth birthday of the Konah with an assembly program, giving' a skit, Getting Into Print,', and a history of the paper. Staff members and ex-members have distinguished themselves in many contests in literature, journalism, and other fields, in both state and national contests. Miss Margaret Ronan, sponsor and adviser of the Konah staff. deserves much credit for her work with the newspaper. xfh' dell' .iz l 1 52: X Uhr 6' ' f l.-lil 1 at A ' ' -I i , YQ '- . - I ugiaq K THE BITTER ROOT -SQ-.

No artist's clever brush With all the colors endowed, and all the touch Of artistry, could reproduce the lines-- The deep hush, broken but by creatures such As love the snow and green. They chatter clear, And often loud, but in harmonious rhyme Their happy arias sound-sometimes so near That one could reach and break the peace sublime With one harsh stroke. The velvet chipmunk runs Without a fear, to one bush, then a log, And then another bush. Why hunters' guns Should dare to set the forest town agog With loud reports and sad reports of deaths Of l'Just another chipmunk, they see not. A bantering snowbird's tune shouts through the heaths While he steps on the snow, a grayish blot. An airy tune runs trilling, then it ends Upon the tip of every rugged tree. A bit of green, the Lupine's lasting stock, VVith yet its touch of yellow, struggles free Above the snowy mantle on the grass. A bit of cottony white on every branch- An iciele of crystal, frail, thin glass- Snow and pines! What artists hope to clench And hold on canvas all the silent sounds, The noisy hush, the shining crystal glass, The cottony mantle and the ehipmunk's bounds, And then the tips of withering Lupine grass.

Red Bird Watched the gruesome battle, Saw her lover rise again, Jump upon his fleet-foot pony, Gallop out upon the plain, Bend his bow. She knew his purpose- Death should not the lovers part. Proud she stood, upright, awaiting, Till an arrow pierced her heart. Down she fell, straight as a plummet, Down-without a word or cry, Where she fell, a scarlet cardinal Winged its way into the sky, Flying Westward, toward the sunset, Met the young White Buffalo, Killed by Joseph. But the lovers Met in the Land of Sunset Glow. RUTH POLLEYS, '31. A Song I Want to roam in the hills again under the bluest sky, And all that I'll take is a heavy staff, and the moon to guide me by, Where the wind will give a merry song upon a golden fife. Oh, I must roam in the hills once more, and lead a gypsy 's life! And l would gather in my arms all the lilies white, And watch the stars and silvery moon, sailing in the night.

Q, Mari' A VIII Seneca, his youngest daughter, Kinder to him than all others, Dearest was she to her father, Her he must give to the waters. IX Now his daughter in the forest With her friends was talking, weaving Baskets for their scanty harvest, Withered corn ears, scarce worth picking X Naught the chieftainys pleas availed him Maddened like the old witch doctor, All his people rose against him, River gods must have his daughter. XI Sadly turned he to his dwelling, His heart laden down with sorrow, While the people were preparing For the offering on the morrow. XII So the young men of the village Built her a canoe of birch bark, White as snow upon the mountain, Graceful as a gliding night hawk. XIII And the maidens, her companions, Decked it with the flowers of summer, Bitter roots and light blue gentians, Flowers purple, white, and golden. XIV In the morning just as sunrise Tinted all the sky with splendor, As a bride adorned with flowers, Seneca came to the river. XV On the shore the people gathered, But their chief was not among them, Had they looked they had discovered 'Cross the stream alone, their chieftain. THE BITTER ROOT -113- 7 XVI Slowly drifting on the water, Lightly the canoe was gliding, Clad in white, the ehieftainls daughter Knelt among the flowers praying. XVII Xearer to the falls she drifted, Sprays of flowers trailing after, YVhite arbutus, purple orchid, Made a path upon the water. XVIII XVhite the water falls and angry, Flecked with foam and roaring loudly, Splashing whirlpool, swirling eddy Seemed to beekon to her dumbly. XIX As she neared the tumbling rapids, The canoe of Eagle Feather Darted out upon the waters, U'er the falls they plunged together. XX Thus the sacrifice was given, Soon to them was sent a token. For the falling tears from heaven Told the famine now was broken. BIAR Y Zl'IIIN'l'NER. '31 I ., r . 1 , , 3 ,J A .'3'm f X4 P' Qw 'r mil - 1 -.Q f. if 'il' t I- I ' J f If -- fwfr 5 -Q 4 ,it 2 ll?

The climbing was quite easy in most plaeesg the path, which was rather wide, was shaded by numerous tall pines on either side. Half way to the lake we came upfn a small bubbling spring of icy cold water flowing out of a narrow, mossy crevice in the mountainside. We stopped there for a moment to refresh ourselves and then set off once more at a brisk pace, which would shortly bring us to our destination. Soon after this, as we rounded a bend in the trail, we looked suddenly upon such a world of beauty that we must need pause for some length to gaze with Wonder at Nature 's magnificent work of art. We had arrived at Ava- lanche Lake. From the end of the trail a grassy bank sloped gradually down to the pebbly water 's edge. The lake itself was rather small and not very wide, but long and narrow. Around it the dark green forest grew almost down to the shore. Yonder, looming majestically above the forest, were lofty mountain peaks with shimmering glaciers clinging precariously to their rocky heights. Just beyond the end of the lake a sheer, towering wall of rock rose up-up, many thousands of feet into the air. Hurtling recklessly down this precip- itous wall were four sparkling waterfalls. From the foot of the cliff each dashed headlong into the calm, green waters of the lake. What magnificent scenery this was! fgfmwa v-'V IIELEN V527 V53 Dreams Like a tapestry that 's faded, A memory resurrected, A play that's misdirected, Like an eyesight that's shaded.

THE BITTER ROOT 11131 Lupines and Pines A field of yellow and a background of green-the natural beauty--it was a sight unequaled by planted estates, or by painted landscapes. High in the Rockies, only on the summits or highest ridges, these great yellow patches appeared-lupine, the royal flower of the NVest. lt grows on a tall, slim stalk, which shoots suddenly out of a clump of coarse grass. The top of the stalk is covered with yellow petals-like a magic wand gold-tipped, transforming a bare plot into a fairyland! Such a sight was met upon the summit of Mt. Stuart, the tallest dome north of Missoula. We stood in the lupine, the wasps and bees humming about in apparent unconsciousness of human presence. The tall wands reached our armpits. Below us, in the Rattlesnake valley Qwhat an unlovely name for such a lovely placelj stood my cabin, on the edge of the clearing, a brown spot in the yellow mass of lupines which extended around the whole edge of the lake. Truly, this was a gem, this blue lake! A gem, set in gold, and reposing upon a green plush cushion! I could nfzt help thinking of the rings in the jewelers' windows, but how, oh how much more beautiful is this natural gem!

In the eyes of all the chieftains He found favor for his brave deeds, And Nehotan to this young buck Gave his only child in marriage. ' Happy and content, the Flatheads Roamed across the plains in great bands, Till the White man brought his household, Drove the Redskins from their loved lands. Angry then became the ehieftain And Nehotan called a meeting. Peacefully we'll bargain with them, They ll return our lands for hunting. Mohtan one day, seeking buffalo, Seen by Palefaces who wandered, Thought he was a foe and killed him, i .asv Him, Whom all' the Redskins honored. Siksikanal found him thus there.

The action tahes place in her mountain cabin. There is a stone fireplace down sta-ge at the left. Near the center of the room is a rough, uncovered, wooden table. The door is at the rear, center. There is a bench running along the upstage wall just to the right of the door. A bucket and a tin clipper are on the bench. 'There are some nails in the wall over the bench, and from these hang sun-bonnets, straw hats, men's coats, aprons, etc. There is one old rocking-chair before the fireplace. Two ro-ugh chairs are placed at the table. One is on the upstage side, and the other is at the right hand corner of the room. There is an old cot. Over the cot, there is a shelf which supports a lamp and some flog-cared boolfs and magazines. As the curtain rises, EMMY TOOLEY enters. She has a man's old felt hal on her head, and a manis old suit coat thrown over her shoulders. She is carrying a bucket of water. She is followed by YOUNG DITT TOOLEY, carrying a load of wood. YOUNG DITT puts his wood down by the fireplace and EMMY sets her pail on the bench by the door. Then she takes a pan and a lcnife from the fireplace mantel, and gets some potatoes from a bucket standing at the up- stage end of the fireplace. She sits down in the rocking chair and begins to peel them. Meanwhile, YOUNG DITT has gone to the got, taken a copy of The Bloomfield Boys in a Submarine from the shelf, and reclined on the cot. After a minute or two, he raises himself to a sitting positionj YOUNG IJITTZ Say, mom, what we goin' TO have fer hreakfasl, some more bacon an' taters? EMMY TOOLEY: I reckon so.

JAKE LAMBERT: Say, Emmy, I bin noticin' how 'ceedingly fetchin' you was gittin' fer 'bout a year. EMMY: Ever since your last wife died, eh? JAKE LAMBERT: Well, 'twould hardly do fer me to be notiein' sech things while she was alive, would it? EMMY KS'nf'er1'nglyj: Naw. Not fer a deputy sheriff, anyways. JAKE IJAM1sEK'1' llfonlpluvenflyjz 'l'het 's what I always said. Us guardeens of public safety must remember our social duties as well our business duties. Yes, sirree, thet 's what I always said! EMMY Klronieallyj : You always was a careful sort of a person. 5 THE BITTER ROOT -129- JAKE IJAMBERTZ Sure. I always figgered a man was foolish t' take more risks than is absolutely necessary. EMMY KSHIL sneeringjz I see you allus act accordin'! JAKE IJAMBERT: See here, Emmy, what I come down here fer was to ask you to marry me. I can- EMMY flu great zmgcrjz Marry you! Marry th' person thet shot my ol' man in the back! Marry th' man I bin hatin' ever since I can remember! So you got the gall t' come 'round here askin' me to marry you! JAKE LAMBERT: See here, Emmy, you ain 't got no right to talk to me like thet! Look at all the meal an' side meat- EMMY: Meal an' side meat! Tryin' t' buy your way into Heaven with meal an' side meat! So you think you can wipe the blood off of your conscience with meal and side meat! JAKE LAMBERT: Say, Emmy, I know what a hard time you been havin' to git along here. I can take good care of you an' the boy. I got my deputy sheriff 's salary an' my place down th' gulch- EMMY flirieflyj: I'd rather starve! JAKE l.iAMBER'r: Say, you 're likely to if you stay here all the time. The soil on this place ain't good enough to raise anythin'. EMMY: Noticin' a lot, wasn 't you A? JAKE LAMBERT: Yes, sirree! They was a board kind of loose on the shed an' so I looked in.f EMMY straiiglzfens up and a look of great anxiety crosses her fczcej Smelled mighty peculiar, it did! Smelled more like workin' moonshine than furniture. I wondered how you could be makin' even as much as you do off this place. Yes, sir, I wondered how you could be makin' a livin' off of these rocks here on th' side of the gulch! KAp1mrmitly regretfulj Well, an officer of th' law, I s'pose I ought to go out there an' make a thorough investi- gation. Still, if you was to say you 'd be my wife, I might fergit 'bout it, go down the gulch to Parson Tutwiler's an' git him to come up an' marry us. Then I could go out an' move the moonshine to a safer place, an' if anybody was to see me foolin' 'round your shed, it wouldn't 'rouse their suspicions none. Of course, if you don 't feel like marryin' me, I guess I'll have to do my duty, much as I hate to. EMMY KDuZZyj: I reckon I'll have to marry you. Fer myself, I'd rather go to jail, but there's Young Ditt. VVouldn't nobody take him in, with his mother in jail. I reckon I'll have to marry you. JAKE LAM1sER'r: That 's fine. l 'll go down an' get Parson Tutwiler. l'won 't take me but a few minutes. Ile come up to his place from town last night. Said he reckoned on stayin' 'bout a week. I'll send Young Ditt in. KHQ exitsj THE BITTER ROOT -130- QEMMY rises, goes to the table, pichs up the family bible and turns her eyes towards heaven.j EMMY: Oh, Lord, help this poor sinner in the hour of need! fShe stands thus for a secondg then replaces the bible on the table. Although she cannot read, she knows the holiness of the bible and uses it as one might a crucifix. As she replaces the bible on the table, it recalls to her another scene in which it played an important partj EMMY lSpeahing in- a low voicej: 'Twas on this very bible that I swore to revenge poor Ditt. fHer voice becomes higher and fills with emotionj An' now it's goin' to marry me to the man thet murdered him! lHere her voice sinhs, but is filled with passionj To the man thet murdered him-to the man thet murdered him! fShe stands with bowed headj I wonder what Ditt would think! I swore to revenge him, I will revenge him! KHere she sinhs to a chair, places her elbows on the table, and buries her face in her hands. After re- maining thus for a moment, she apparently has an idea. She straightens up and directs her gaze on a long, old-fashioned rifle that is suspended over the fireplace by two wooden pegs. She rises, takes the rifle from its place, gets a cartridge from a- drawer in the table and loads the rifle. Then she stands the rifle in the chimney corner. YOUNG DITT entersJ YOUNG D1'i r: Say, mom, ol' Jake Lambert toi' me to hurry up fixin' the cow an' come in the house. Said you wanted to see me. VVhat's goin' on?

Say, who took pap 's rifle down? EMMY: I did. Go an' git your extry overalls an' your shirt an' wait right outside the door. Hurry up! Lambert an' the parson'11 be gittin' here right quick now. YOUNG DITT: What we goin' to do, mom? EMMY: Never you mind-jest do what I tol' you. fExit YOUNG Drrr hurriecllyj EMMY: They '11 be here any minute now. fShe crosses to the table, takes the cartridge box which she has left there, and puts it in the table drawer. She moves silently and swiftly. A sound of footsteps is heard outside. JAKE LAM- BERT enters alone.j JAKE LAMBERT: The person was in bed with ai touch of rheumatism. Said he oouldnyt come up till tomorrow morning. Kllere he glances at EMMY. She is standing still with her hands at her side.

'Tr -. -132- ' The Lonely Valley There was once a valley lonely, Watched o'er by great snow-capped mountains, Seen by wandering Indians only As they hunted thru the forests. Life to them was one long pleasure, As had been for many decades, Till some white men, seeking treasure, Broke upon their quiet country. Followed then a great procession, White-topped wagons followed after, As the white man took possession, Crowding out the luckless redman. Quickly sprang up many cabins All along the pretty streamlets, Taking land of patient pagans Till they spread far from the rivers. Soon sprang up a mighty city, Called Missoula, from the mountainsg Crowding out the Indians slowly Forcing them on reservations. Now the white men reign supremely Using up the great resources. Sad the fate of all the scenery Of that pretty, lonely valley. RALPH GILHAM, JR., ' At Dusk The blood-red sun is swiftly sinking low, The dull grey sky bespeaks the fading light, And, as I muse at home in fire-light glow, Down slowly drops the blanket of the night. The snow its mystic softness round and round Weaves all about me something like a trance, And as it winds its starry pathway down Earth and its shadows vanish in the dance. Again I live in childhood 's castles fair, Built of such stuff as children 's dreams are made, Is this a symbol of my day-dreams rare? Tumbling and crumbling back to earth to fade?
