law Jcndi Joul Time in its streamline flight speedily works school day memories into the back of one's mind. With the hope of halting it momentarily we give you our interpretation of school life as we traveled its year of dances, football games, victories, defeats, assemblies, and tests. With the earnest wish that through our efforts this book will call back the days in Missoula High; with the express hope that sometime in later years you will take time off, sit in an easy chair and thumb through the worn book, with the prayer that we have accurately presented our account we give you school life as we lived it.

Jn J A smoxiam cHfdmuiLitxatLon zHfdusxtiiiny dilation Throughout the years the Konah has consistently carried a leading role in school activities as the voice of student and faculty. Striving to present accurately and fairly an account of school life, it has succeeded remarkably well for the inexperience of the staffs. Proof of this is indicated by numerous awards the Konah has received from journalistic organizations. Additional proof is shown by the eagerness with which students await the arrival of each week's issue. Students' questions are answered, plays are criticised, club activities are reported, announcements are made and countless other news items are presented in true journalistic style. For its accurate account of Missoula High's life we respectfully dedicate this book to our paper, the Konah. AWARDS PRINCIPAL G. A. KETCHAM WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? MISSOULA HIGH'S BAR OF JUSTICE The dominant figure in our school life is Principal G. A. Ketcham. With his kindly counsel and assistance, students feel at ease in telling him their troubles and ambitions. His executive ability meets pupils every day in the systematic and smoothly run school year. With twenty-nine years of experience behind him he upholds the traditions of Missoula County High School. He is presiding officer of the office and its proceedings. From an enrollment of 263 in 1912, Principal Ketcham has seen the school enlarge to a three story structure with an enrollment of fifteen hundred. In spite of a fire and depression, Missoula High has continued to make progress and to become a leader in the field of education. To casual on-lookers the most important job of the office seems to be the recording of absences and tardinesses. This is important because the office workers must determine excused and unexcused absences and hand out blue and white permits accordingly. All students who enter or withdraw are recorded in the files and are given counsel as to the advisability of their actions. If withdrawals are for unmerited reasons, students' mistakes are pointed out and kindly persuasion is used to lead them to continue their education. Those problem children who have no desire to learn and repeatedly break school regulations are dealt with accordingly. Detailed records are kept of each student ever enrolled in school. Future employers make a bee-line for the high school records of former students. Bad points as well as good are recorded with equal fairness. In these and numerous other ways all of us at some time come in contact with the office and learn of the tremendous everyday duties essential to a harmonious school day. DEAN'S DEN 10 As assistant principal, Mr. H. I. Hunt ably writes out permits, either white or blue, according to the just deserts of the seeker. A straight-forward person himself, Mr. Hunt dislikes those who do not treat him fairly in their dealings with him. He commands the respect of all who come in contact with him. As sponsor of the Pep Club, he is a well-known figure at all football games. A familiar companion with Mr. Hunt outside of school is a small white dog which trots contentedly at his heels. A competent librarian is Miss Kathryn Geiger. She keeps books as well as noisy boys and girls in order. Fines are duly paid when she sends out white slips to neglectful students. A kindly assistant in finding needed material, she enjoys helping people help themselves. During vacation time she likes to travel. Overseer of Missoula High's fairer sex is Miss Neva Copeland, dean of girls. As an able, efficient advisor to girls in the adolescent period, she proves an understanding listener and counselor. Outside of school she goes on camping trips and does gardening work. Miss Copeland's day is disrupted when she has to scold someone for thoughtless wrong-doing. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL H. J. HUNT II MISS KATHRYN GEIGER Miss Helen Robson knows the whole school and the whole school knows her because she takes care of all the detail work of the office. A valuable worker, she can be seen at all hours of the day typing, mimeographing, taking dictation, or going about any one of her numerous tasks. Outside of school she likes to go dodging in her car. MISS HELEN ROBSON MISS NEVA COPELAND To teach poems and the facts of literature to juniors is the objective towards which Miss Katherine Craighead strives in her English classes. Her travels in England provide her with an excellent background for her class work. As a romantic actress in the faculty play, The Bishop Misbehaves, Miss Craighead received the appreciative applause of the audience. Sophomore, junior, and senior English classes occupy the school day of Miss Edith Dawes. She graduated from Montana State University and plans to spend the coming summer in that school. Miss Dawes is talented in music and taught it in Livingston before coming here. Her greatest interest outside of music seems to be the art of cooking. The climax of high school literature is taught by Miss Helen Fink as she instructs and supervises seniors in the furtherance of their literary tastes. Of her pupils she remarks, Many of them compose good themes of which I keep the best as keepsakes. On the side, she vacations by reading more deeply into literature and is also fond of music. During the summer she receives her quota of sunshine by playing tennis. MISS LYLE NOBLE Head of the English department is Miss Lyle M. Noble. Hers is the only department in school with which every student has contact, because English is a required subject. The department has three basic aims: to teach students the practical use of English for good writing and speaking, to develop good reading habits, and to prepare students for college English. Miss Noble is a familiar figure to everyone, for she has worked with the freshman and junior classes for several years. ENGLISH ESSENTIALS MISS KATHERINE CRAIGHEAD A newcomer to the faculty of M.H.S. is Mr. John A. Linn, who replaced Miss lone Lake as journalism teacher. Mr. Linn graduated from the University of Montana and has taken work in the University of Washington. He likes to hunt, bowl, and fish, and has traveled in France, the United States, and Canada. Between teaching English classes and sponsoring the Girl Reserves and the sophomore class, Mrs. Arminda McDonald, is kept busy all the time. Under her supervision sophomore activities run smoothly during the year. In past summers she has traveled far because she enjoys vacationing in different climes. One of the teachers who give freshmen their first tastes of high school English is Miss Grace Ryon. She says she enjoys her work, especially in trying to get her pupils to read a complete epic poem. Like many English teachers, reading helps her pass away idle moments. Quiet and demure Miss Agnes Scott teaches English to freshmen and sophomores. She received her master's degree last year from the University of Oregon. Last summer she traveled through Arizona and New Mexico, seeing the canyons. Her hobby is tinting pictures. MR. JOHN LINN MRS. ARMINDA McDONALD Mr. Robert D. Watt teaches sophomore and senior English. When not teaching Dicken's Tale of Two Cities or the poetry of Poe, he can be found in the Bitter Root office trying to inspire the members of the staff to greater efforts. Mr. Watt says that his job is his hobby, but he frequently exhibits an unusual interest in things mechanical. Sophomore and senior English is taught by Miss Hazel Swearingen, known for her quick wit and good sense of humor. In her spare time she likes to cook and read the latest books. In the summer she retreats from school life at her cabin on Placid Lake. MISS HAZEL SWEARINGEN MR. ROBERT WATT 13 athdniatini Good-natured Miss Gertrude Clark, head of the mathematics department, trains students in the art of numbers and rules. Plane and solid geometry, trigonometry and advanced algebra give Miss Clark a full schedule. Teaching mathematics to aspiring students interests her most, while reading novels and drama is her sideline activity. Mathematics is a subject useful in almost every profession. In everyday fields and in all walks of life one finds himself thinking in the world of numbers. In all fields of engineering, architecture, medicine, economics, forestry, and education it is an invaluable asset to have a thorough knowledge of mathematics. Politicians, diplomats, and army officials use it in relations within a country as well as for international relations. Navy men use it in figuring positions or in finding the time. Army men use it to calculate where the enemy is or in finding to what level a gun must be elevated. Farmers use the back of an old envelope to determine how much gas is left in the car. Bankers use it to figure and speculate with their millions. Everyone uses mathematics all during the day. Industries run by it; men win fortunes and lose them by it. There are many ways each hour that we find use for mathematics. MISS GERTRUDE CLARK The housewife balances her budget, and her husband slaves over his income tax report in an effort to please the government. The world could not exist if everything pertaining to mathematics were destroyed. MATH MATERIALS MR. ANDREW SUGG LEARNING LOGS Teaching a wide variety of subjects, namely algebra, general science, and medieval history, occupies the time of Mr. Andrew I. Sugg. His sponsorship of the Debate Club reveals his interest in international relations. Freed from school activities, he likes to read histories and biographies. Helping freshmen work out equations in algebra keeps Mr. Noel I. Baker busy. As assistant track coach he trains boys for greater efforts and ability in interscholastic meets. Mr. Baker, a true man of the woods, enjoys hunting and fishing. Aside from his job as assistant principal, which takes up the greater part of his time, Mr. Harold J. Hunt teaches three classes in general mathematics. Kansas and Idaho furnished Mr. Hunt his first five years of teaching experience. Mr. Hunt enjoys golf and bridge. Plane geometry, algebra, and solid geometry are taught by Miss Edna Jacobsen. Her teaching brings her in contact with all classes, although her main work is with sophomores and juniors. Reading and hiking are Miss Jacobsen's favorite diversions. Showing seniors how to make vocational decisions, aiding freshmen and sophomores through guidance classes, and teaching algebra to freshmen is all in a day's work to Miss Audrey Proctor. Through her expert direction M.H.S. has become outstanding in guidance work. MR. NOEL BAKER MR. HAROLD J. HUNT MISS EDNA JACOBSEN MISS AUDREY PROCTOR UTENSILS FOR WORLDWIDE UNDERSTANDING Able head of the social science department is Miss Edna A. Mann. International relations and United States history make up her teaching schedule. In addition to these duties she is sponsor of the local chapter of the National Honor Society and conducts the local League of Nations contest. As a reader and collector of books, Miss Mann profitably spends her spare moments. Social sciences have never been more emphasized in high school than during the present crises. Every student has a vital interest at stake in international affairs, which, if changed in any way, may greatly influence his life. Through the social sciences the student learns how these foreign developments affect him directly. Thinking and reasoning out solutions from knowledge gained in history help the student form logical opinions on present day problems. Economics does its part in explaining how people make their living and also in explaining our complex financial system. Government deals with the law-making powers of our government and explains the intricate machinery involved in keeping the wheels of the nation turning. How the United States cooperates with other nations is studied in international relations. By radio talks over the local station, by class discussion of actual present day problems, and by forming unbiased opinions we play our part in preserving American democracy. 16 MISS EDNA MANN MISS AGNES BROWN MR. HARRY BUDEWITZ MR. EDWARD BUZZETTI MR. FRANK KELLEY Teaching world history and modern European history is the duty of Miss Agnes Brown. The social committee of the Girls' Club accomplishes great things under her supervision. The past, present, and future of world history is taught by Mr. Harry P. Bude-witz to freshmen and sophomores. His desire for lesson illustrations is shown by the pictures, paintings, and models furnished by his talented students. Aside from teaching, his time is well filled through his sponsorship of the freshman class. To help the Spartans of M. H. S. in reaching the utmost pinnacle of success is the goal of Mr. Edward Buzzetti, assistant coach and teacher of American history and sociology. Mr. Frank T. Kelley teaches future citizens commercial law, government, and sociology. His classes of political and social discussions stimulate his pupils and have sent many on the road to sociological fields. Social sciences are taught by tall, dark Mr. Ralph Soroos. Traveling during the summers, he sees America First . Through reading in spare moments he keeps up a literary contact with the world in general. Small wisecracks enliven Mr. Clifton B. Worthen's United States history classes. Anecdotes from his study of early Montana interest his pupils in the colorful history of western pioneer days. He sponsors the Stamp Club and has many interesting specimens of his own. MR. RALPH SOROOS MR. CLIFTON WORTHEN SYMBOLS FOR SCIENCE Mr. Millard E. Peterson, head of the science department, teaches sophomore boys the science of biology. An interesting instructor, he continues his studies outside of class rooms in the classification of wild flowers and gardening. Music and art delight Mr. Peterson, while he dislikes rude boys and surrealism. This summer he and his wife plan a trip to the coast. Science is a field which has developed with amazing rapidity in the past few decades. New fields have been opened and discoveries have been made which have revolutionized the world. Our everyday life is based on the workings and findings of extended scientific research. Science has found cures for diseases in the field of medicine, improved processes in manufacturing, uncovered data for history. Economic and social problems are helped by scientific points of view and almost every profession and industry has benefited by its progress. General science gives a varied knowledge of phenomenon connected with nature. Biology is more specialized, for all living things are studied. In physics, one learns about the physical changes going on and their effects. Chemistry concerns, all chemical action in both organic and inorganic substances. These high school studies open the door to wider, different frontiers in the as yet undiscovered lands of science. MR. MIILLARD PETERSON Teaching girls all about living things is the task of quiet Miss Fay Fouts, biology instructor. She furthers students' interest in the sciences by sponsoring a science group. She reads widely on all phases of her subject. Art and music occupy her few spare moments. Chemistry teacher Mr. Carol Miller, enjoys a certain distinction because he is M. H. S.'s only instructor in that subject. As reserve football coach, Mr. Miller is kept busy in the fall. Mr. Miller is definitely an outdoor man for he greatly enjoys hunting, fishing, and all outdoor sports. Pleasant Mr. Paul E. Wilson teaches physics to juniors and prepares them for future scientific studies. As sponsor of the Radio Club he plans interesting programs, often demonstrating points himself. Different electrical devices and photography also interest Mr. Wilson. Every summer the gypsy spirit hits him, and he travels over the countryside in his Buick. New this year to Missoula County High School from Havre is Mr. Henry L. Zahn, who teaches general science to freshmen. An outdoor man and an enthusiast for all sports, he hunts, fishes, and referees athletic contests. Collecting dinosaur teeth and scales greatly enlivens Mr. Zahn's spare time. MISS FAY FOUTS MR. CAROL MILLER MR. PAUL WILSON MR. HENRY ZAHN TOOLS OF THE TRADE FAST FINGERS domniE’ici.at Her love for animals is demonstrated by the fact that she is intensely interested in the Humane Society and its work. Commercial subjects are among the most useful taught in school for the student can often use the knowledge gained in such courses to secure a job immediately upon leaving school. The department lists as its aim not only to prepare students to earn their living but also to provide students with information useful for their personal convenience. Typing and shorthand are practical not only for stenographers but also in everyday life. Students find a knowledge of bookkeeping to be valuable in the domestic and business worlds alike. Junior business, a course for freshmen, prepares the young ones for later problems of bookkeeping. Not necessarily for future lawyers, commercial law deals with the every day problems of the young men and women in business. Commercial geography involves the study of commercial practices in all parts of the world. While commercial courses require, as a rule more outside preparation than other school subjects, most students feel that the time is well spent. MISS MINA CARR Head of the commercial department is Miss Mina I. Carr who has the distinction of having been on the faculty of M. H. S. for over twenty years. Her department includes such subjects as typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, junior business, commercial law, and commercial geography. Miss Carr instructs classes in advanced shorthand, advanced typing, bookkeeping, and one class in beginning typing. She has occupied the position as head of the commercial department for fifteen years. 20 BEHIND THE ADDING MACHINE Clommuxciai Missoula high trackmen take orders from Mr. Guy T. Stegner, track coach for the last four years. Before coaching track exclusively, Mr. Stegner was football, basketball, and track coach for eight years. Teaching typing and bookkeeping fills his teaching schedule during the day. For outdoor relaxation he golfs and fishes. Mr. Stegner has given much time to teachers' retirement laws and is considered an authority on that subject. Typing and junior business teacher, Mrs. Carrie Gilham, is one M. H. S. faculty member without a hobby. Mrs. Gilham is outstanding in one respect for she is the only teacher with a class after school. Scraping feet annoy this usually even tempered teacher. Her outside activities include card playing, cooking when she has to, and tennis, which she has played more or less all her life. One thing I do dislike is being quoted, says Mrs. Gilham. Energetic Mrs. Florence Keeton trains future stenographers and keeps the lunior class on its feet. The climax of this latter job is a successful Junior Prom in the spring. She collects stamps md cares for numerous plants around her room after school hours. An appreciative traveler, she plans to go tc Berkeley, California, this summer to attend school. Able advisor of the Konah for the i t semester was Miss lone Lake. .'lading with greenhorns at the first of (lie year she turned out polished jour- ilists. Teaching typing rounded out hor full day. A ski enthusiast, she Mrted and sponsored the Ski Club vhich took trips every Saturday under i leadership. At Christmas she left t i become a happy bride. MRS. CARRIE GILHAM MRS. FLORENCE KEETON MISS IONE LAKE MR. GUY STEGNER 21 MISS ELSIE WADELL dian J-anqiuxqz The Dean of the foreign language department is Miss Elsie Wadell, teacher of second year Latin and commercial geography. Miss Wadell has seen the most service in the foreign language department of M. H. S. and is therefore the guardian of this department. Her keen sense of humor and her widespread general knowledge add interest to her Latin classes as they study the campaigns of Caesar in Gaul. The foreign language department is perhaps one of the most interesting departments in school and surely it covers the greatest amount of territory of the world because it is a foreign language department. In M. H. S. French, Latin, and Spanish are taught and for each of these there is a special club. The purpose of these clubs is to give the student a better understanding of the language and the people who use that language as a native tongue. Small papers written in French and Spanish help in this work. The student may obtain them through the foreign language department for a small fee. One of the many opportunities available to the student of other languages is the foreign service field, where one may be employed either by the government or private business. Thus the foreign language department opens new horizons and points out the way for better understanding between the people of this country and the people of France, Spain, and South America. PASSPORTS TO FOREIGN PORTALS p. XV I HO 22 zicjn J_anquaq£ A newcomer this year to the teaching staff of M. H. S. is Miss Margaret Durkin, a teacher of French who replaced Miss Mildred Ammer. Miss Durkin studied at Montana State University for three years before going to the University of Wisconsin where she received her masters degree in French. Before coming to M. H. S. she taught at Briar Cliff College, Sioux City, Iowa. Sports such as swimming and badminton interest her outside of school. Teacher of first and second year English and Latin is Miss Sylvia Johnson who is a fairly recent newcomer to M. H. S. having joined the faculty only last year. The hobbies of Miss Johnson include reading and sports but she is not able to find much time for them as she attends school during the summer. When asked about her pet peeve she replied that she deplores students who do not work. It is better to forget one's verb constructions than to forget that all people are really alike, feeling the same way and wanting the same things even if they do speak another language. These are the sentiments of lively, dark Miss Violet Boileau, M. H. S. Spanish instructor. When teaching the ways and hows of the Spanish language proves too wearing for Miss Boileau she turns with pleasure to her cooking. Next to cooking as a hobby she loves to study people. MISS MARGARET DURKIN MISS SYLVIA JOHNSON SENORITA MISS VIOLET BOILEAU 23 MISS MARY V. HARRIS Dramatics instructor of M. H. S. is Miss Mary V. Harris. Aside from her elementary and advanced dramatics she trains students in public speaking. Other activities of Miss Harris include the sponsorship of the Thespians and the direction of all dramatic productions. This year as usual the dramatics department presented a fall production, a night of one acts, and a Christmas cantata in conjunction with the music department. In addition, a faculty play T. G. AND DOT EMOTE was presented under Miss Harris's direction. This year for the first time the department entered the drama festival which replaces the Interscholastic Little Theater Tournament. One of the most popular courses in school is art, taught by Mr. C. B. Bartholomew, or Bart , as he is known to one and all. ''We don't try to develop artists here, only to develop an appreciation of good art,'' explains Mr. Bart. The stress in this school is laid on the individual student and his tastes rather than on the work of the class as a whole. Reading and fishing occupy Bart's time out of school when he is not enjoying a busman's holiday by working with his art. His pet peeve is the lack of proper facilities for art students in school. MR. C. B. BARTHOLOMEW ui Lc SHADOWS Students learn not to jump at the unearthly shrieks that come to them from the auditorium, for they are only the efforts of the beginners' band learning the intricacies of music and its appreciation. Instructor Emmet Anderson tears his hair and lives only for the day when his charges can graduate to the class of intermediate or symphonic bands. Andy , as he is known to his students, also watches over the orchestra, A Capella choir, string quartet, woodwind quintet, and the twirling corp. In answer to a crying need, this year Andy organized the school dance orchestra to play at high school dances. Photography is Mr. Anderson's hobby. MISS KATHRYNE EORG MR. EMMET ANDERSON Teacher of chorus and sophomore English is Miss Kathryne Borg. Although teaching two periods of each subject her time is taken up mainly by her chorus work. Besides her regular classes she sponsors most of the vocal groups of the school. These are known to students through the music concerts but primarily through the operetta which is put on each year. Miss Borg also has charge of the music for the Christmas cantata. 25 IN CLASS WORKOUT Head man of the boys' athletics of M. H. S. is Mr. Edward Chinske. Outside of coaching basketball and football he teaches boys' physical education classes. In the freshman year of these classes the boys are drilled in stunts on the parallel bars and in calisthenics. These are in the line of body building and the boys benefit greatly from them. In the second year Mr. Chinske gives the boys a chance to play games such as basketball, volleyball, baseball, and soccer. Although the Spartans have not won any championships for Mr. Chinske while he has been here, under his supervision they have come very close to it. The latest of blows to Mr. Chinske came in this basketball season when his team was nosed out of the conference championship by the Great Falls Bisons and then vanquished in the Northern Division tournament finals by the Havre Blue Ponies. However, the handsome statuette awarded for second place provided some consolation to the aspiring Spartans. About the basketball team he remarked, They did better than I expected. He is also optimistic about next year's football team. Because girls talk too much his sympathies lie entirely with the stronger sex, the members of which are the subjects of some of his longer speeches. COACH EDDIE CHINSKE THE LAST WORD TIP OFF (fyLli1; CZy-ftflfztici Conducting physical education classes for freshmen and sophomore girls, sponsoring the Girls Athletic Association, and supervising study halls fill Miss Erma Monroe's days to overflowing. Small, active, a good participant, and interested in all sports, she is an ideal leader of the athletically inclined girls. Miss Monroe also directs the play one night a week for teachers who wish to go to the gym for exercise. She astonished all her friends this year by her perfect portrayal of the elderly sister of the bishop in the faculty play. In the physical education classes girls may register according to their desires in classes for tumbling, dancing, or games. Tumbling is especially valuable in training muscular coordination and control. This is largely achieved through balancing the body in various positions, and frequently the cooperation of two or more performers is required. Feats of agility are also a part of tumbling. Dances of various kinds teach grace, good posture, and balance. The games program also teaches coordination, increases lung capacity, and prepares students for a healthful use of leisure time. The physical education program for girls includes an occasional evening of public demonstration of the work of the various classes, a limited theoretical training in health and hygiene, and a continuation of sports through the G. A. A. for those upper-class girls who desire it. MISS ERMA MONROE PIGGIE BACK 'TEACH'' 27 M GIRLS OVER THE NET anna t MR. LESTER ENNIS SHARPENING TOOLS MR. EDWARD DAVIS Boys who have interests in architecture are taught commercial lettering and drafting by Mr. Lester C. Ennis. As commercial lettering instructor, Mr. Ennis is very obliging about having his boys make signs for the bulletin boards of M. H. S. Mr. Ennis can be seen at basketball games selling tickets. One of his most difficult jobs is that of treasurer for the Student Association. Not many of us realize that we have such close contact with Mr. Ennis but his name is on each Student Association card. His hobbies are carving, fishing, and duck hunting. IN THE SHOP Important to all future architects are the courses of commercial lettering and drafting. Through these courses the boys learn the correct methods of detailed mechanical drawing. In commercial lettering, the first step toward the more difficult drawing, the boys learn the intricacies of correct balance and coordination in sign painting. As they advance to the more difficult phases of the work, their tasks become more and more exacting until at last they are learning the closest of drafting work and are turning out blueprints of all sorts of things from cabinets to automobile engines. The making of chairs, cabinets, bookcases, and tables is under the supervision of Mr. Ed. S. Davis, shop over-seer. Complex constructions such as that of making skis are taken up by the more advanced students. They are allowed to make things which are useful to themselves. Mr. Davis is also kept busy repairing school equipment. This year he showed extra talent in playing the part of the bartender in the faculty play. When out of school he likes to fish, ski, and hunt ducks. 28 CATTLE JUDGING MR. C. M. HOMER PRIZE ENTRIES The agricultural courses in M. H. S. are taught by Mr. C. M. Homer, a Smith-Hughes teacher, who is especially well prepared and qualified for his work. Aside from his work as a teacher of agriculture, Mr. Homer's interests tend toward sports and the out-of-doors. A former basketball player of ability, he now restricts himself to refereeing basketball and football games and maintaining an active interest in boxing, wrestling, and track. His brusque manner does not conceal his friendliness. One example of this 'is the keen personal interest he takes in his Ag students and in the members of his home room. Many schools more definitely rural cannot compare with M. H. S. in the quality of agricultural instruction. The quality of soils and their care, the preparation of seed beds, and the study of seeds are but a few of the many phases of agriculture. Livestock and poultry are studied. The proof of Mr. Homer's success in this branch is the excellent record of his stock judging and poultry judging teams. The boys in agriculture classes also study, build, and repair farm machinery. In connection with the mechanical part of their training they learn to build the many fixtures and accessories that make modern farming a pleasant, scientific occupation. But even the activities mentioned above are not all that these students engage in. The social and economic espects of farm life are also studied and carried out through the Future Farmers Club. THE FUTURE FARMERS’ STUDY 29 A STITCH IN TIME .... STOP WIGGLING MANICURE, PLEASE HAIR STYLES jJ-fc 2 oms dZcononuci One of the most important departments in school from the girls' point of view is the home economics department for it is here that girls receive their training in housework. Naturally the chief aim of the department is to train girls for their future married lives. From the basic courses one may branch into studies such as dietetics, home demonstration, dress designing, beauty service, and other fields. Through training in the home economics department, girls may prepare themselves for better home management during their married lives. Dress designing, nail manicure, hair styles, home budgeting, and wise buying are all taken up in a year's time. From these studies it is easy for girls to go into beauty service and further training will prepare them for designing, dietetics, hotel or cafe management, and many other related occupations. Thus we come to see that home economics prepares girls either to settle down at housekeeping or to rustle for their own daily bread. Missoula High's home economics department is directed by Miss Zoe Williams, instructor of sewing, personal grooming, clothing selection, family relationship, child development, and home management. MISS ZOE WILLIAMS JkM. One of the busiest parts of school life can be seen in operation in room 214, the office of Miss Leila McDonald, school nurse. Miss McDonald took her public health work at the University of Washington and nursing at Saint Patrick's hospital here in Missoula. In the course of a day she handles from 25 to 30 students with ailments ranging from heart trouble to splinters in fingers. She says that the worst case with which she ever came into contact in this school was that of a boy who came into her office with his heart beating only 44 beats per minute. Students always find it easy to go to her with their troubles for she is always kindly and helpful in giving them advice and helping them to get rid of their ailments. Miss McDonald does her best to help the students at school, but occasionally she has to send a patient home or to the doctor. She has to keep an eye out for contagious disease, which may spread over the school. Often she can be seen driving off in her car to visit the home of a sick student.

The tremendous task of guiding the Senior class of 1940 through approximately two hundred days of ticket sales, dances, and plans for things which never turned out, fell this year to President Alan Merriam, who was ably helped in times of ease and stress by Bill Wood, vice-president, and Camilla Salisbury, secretary-treasurer. As usual we seniors started school activities with the first all school dance, the Senior Mixer. We thought this a greater success than any other senior dance. Although not benefiting by the Christmas movie cards used by previous classes, we profited enough by a benefit movie to add our gift to the school in keeping with an aging tradition. As upperclassmen we participated in all school affairs and made our last year the most eventful. Class pins identified individual members. Wisherd Wood Maxey Heisel Yeingst Miss Clark Merriam Salisbury Kelley Butler Estes Beckham Though now peering ahead toward graduation and the closing of high school life, many will later cast backward glances at high school days. There were days filled with both work and play, pleasures and disappointments. Days upon which we shall look and say, Those were the happiest hours of my life: Days in which we saw students come and go, teams win and lose, stars rise and fall. Days in which we found ourselves growing mentally and advancing from frightened freshmen to supercilious seniors. After graduation many of us will go to college, where we are sure to find things vastly different. In the bustle of university life we may forget momentarily our high school days, but repeatedly they will return as gay memories. 34 WILLIAM E.

H. S. is the job of the officers of the Junior class for it is generally conceded that this class is the most active in school. The job this year was admirably carried out by Jo Flaherty as president, Bob Delaney as vice-president, and Irene Caras as secretary-treasurer. As usual the juniors started out their year with a bigger and better Junior Prom as their goal. Their first activity carried along what has become almost tradition in M. H. S., the selling of hot dogs at football games. As the school grows larger so must the hot dog sales, so this year the job was bigger than ever before. As the organization which sponsors the largest number of dances, the juniors started out their dancing year with the Junior Barn Dance, followed it up with the Junior Christmas Dance, kept the ball rolling with the Junior Spring Dance, and finished up with their dreams accomplished, a perfect Junior Prom. Between times the juniors were kept busy with their sponsorship of a movie and several other smaller matters. Throughout the year all profits from the dances and ticket sales went toward the Prom. After this successful year the juniors can now look forward to a life of comparative ease as high and mighty seniors. IRENE CARAS, Sec.-Treas. BOB DELANEY. Vice-Pres. JO FLAHERTY, Pres. 48 J.

Smith SOPHOMORE COUNCIL Probably one of the proudest classes in school, taking it as a whole, is the Sophomore class. Although its members are not upperclassmen they feel that they are no longer underlings and can no longer be treated that way by teachers and associates. Although the activities of the class are not very heavy, the job of the officers is not an easy task for the members are coming to life, showing interest in school activities, and demanding a voice in school matters. In spite of everything, a freshman inferiority complex does exist, and when freshmen become sophomores they feel as if they had a place in the school all their own. This year's officers who headed the proud sophomores through thick and thin were Marjorie Jo Worden as president, Virginia Farnsworth as vice-president, and Virginia Giffin as secretary -treasurer. The production of the year which absorbed the activity time of the sophomores came in two dances that were held in conjunction with the freshman class. Remembering their lonely frosh days, sophomores pitied the frosh and treated them to a good time at these dances. Sophomores, while having a good time, eagerly look forward to a full year of activities in the Junior class. VIRGINIA GIFFIN, Sec.-Treas. VIRGINIA FARNSWORTH, Vice-Pres. MARJORIE JO WORDEN, Pres.

The year of the class members is spent in acclimating themselves to the life of high school students. Each year the freshmen, glad to escape after eight long years of grade school, can be seen getting used to the ways and the rigors of high school life. No prestige is added to their looks by the appearance of their hair. This hazing custom, although it is the only one practiced in M. H. S., is being outlawed thru the appeals of outraged mothers who are horrified when Junior comes home with his head shaved clean. The freshman class is the only class of the school which has no officers, for it is felt that since it is the first year here the freshman do not know each other well enough to elect competent officers. The class is run by a freshman council which decides all its policies. This year they have given, in collaboration with the sophomores, two dances which were very successful. The freshmen look forward to the day when they can be sophomores and laugh at those frosh. 2ND SEMESTER FRESHMAN COUNCIL Brown Helding Jesse Donaldson Streit Moore Bennett Pew Bruce Fitzsimmons Ketchum Nhitk R «v t lorkr d j� Ilmmom !« f Wood« Kvant Mi� lr lo ItMiman lacliw Cisif Oto •nrUh Oon Flan Ki� « M.llo Vnu.jhii TKoaniiMin K� Mln« Matty riahar Taylor HOME ROOM 107 HOME ROOM A-200 HOME ROOM 211 HOME ROOM 304 The youngest set studies, grins, cycles, monkeys, works, and creates HOME ROOM 309 HOME ROOM 106 HOME ROOM 319 HOME ROOM 312 60 Frosh are bashful, obstinate, eager, persuasive, clannish, and sheepish HOME ROOM 314 HOME ROOM 311 HOME ROOM 111 HOME ROOM 324 61 Beqinners exercise, represent, masquerade, crash, evolve, jitterbuq, stare, and stag HONORABLE MENTION CHARLES SULLIVAN ANA HELDING DONALD LEAPHART CAMILLA SALISBURY I JOHN LISTER ELIZABETH FEARL TOM EIGEMAN 62 9 union HONORABLE MENTION GLEN FISHER KIRK BADGLEY JUNE DELANEY PHILIP LANSING MAXINE GIRSON ANITA COCHRELL BOB DELANEY 63 CHARLES DEAN MARJORIE JO WORDEN oanomoxEi HONORABLE MENTION BETTY POTT BRUCE TOOLE VIRGINIA NJEMI DONALD DOBSON EVELYN JOHNSON 64 DICK PEW PHYLLIS MOORE xsifi XEi.nms.li HONORABLE MENTION BETTY BRUCE RALPH LOVBERG MARJORIE WALTERMIRE PAULINE KARKANEN CLIFFORD BLAZIER 65 UBiiisz zzfiyoot czStaj-j Incidents in school life this year were photographed, recorded, and commented on by an interested annual staff. With a bigger and better annual as their goal these students overcame inferiority complexes and solicited ads, turned actors in an assembly, and acquired writers' cramp on writeups, and bruises on unusual photographs. Covering all school activities from the smallest things to the largest, they found it a big job to get everything done on time. The big job which confronted them at the first of the year was the plotting of the dummy. Next I in line came the sales campaign. Then followed in quick succession a multitude of things: the taking of pictures followed by their mounting, the writing of all kinds of copy, and at last the final rush to meet the deadlines. Always on hand to commend, assist, and advise was Mr. Robert D. Watt, guardian angel of the staff. Previous experience enabled the editor, Lloyd Eastman, to keep the staff occupied. Assisting him was Walter Orvis, who helped his chief in keeping the ball rolling. In charge of write-ups was Alan Merriam, who aided and advised rookies in the art of becoming accomplished journalists. Art editor, Ginette Roberts, went to work with the dummy and turned out her brain child. Handling the money and books was Eugene Yeingst, business manager. Covering every school event was Glen Fisher with his watchful eye, his camera. Handy men con- Time out tributing to the final product were Maxine Girson, Betty Holmes, Mariane Cheney, Bette Daly, Ernest Wolf, and Tom Gisborne, who persuaded mer-chents to buy ads. They also assisted in interviewing teachers, finding out club ideals, and handing in write-ups. Assisting in art work were June Delaney, Beatrice King, and Darwa Willis. The 1940 Bitter Root is the result of many months of work by these students. Sacrificing many other pleasures and interests the members of this staff have produced a book which represents their best efforts. They hope the students and patrons of the school will enjoy it.

Reporters nosed out news and fluttered down halls finding both the usual and unusual. The journalists' one aim in life was to meet the weekly deadline. Newspapers were scanned for foreign affairs, teachers quizzed on odd hobbies, plays commented on without hesitation, outstanding work praised, and geniuses encouraged. The weekly paper was continued, a 12 page Christmas issue being an unprecedented feat. This was the final paper under the able direction of Miss lone Lake, who left M.H.S. to become a housewife. Helen Walterskirchen filled the editor's chair while regularly acquiring A's in her other subjects. She was assisted by Elmer Donovan as an experienced business manager and William Anderson as the advertising manager. Miss Lake Parker M.

New staff members learned the principles of writing and put out a paper exhibiting characteristic journalistic skill. A new system and curriculum was introduced by Mr. Linn to help cub reporters become full-fledged writers eligible for Quill and Scroll, the journalistic honor society. These human typewriters rushed about covering every important school event. Ad contests of jumbled letters attracted students' attention to advertisers and stimulated interest in the ads. Both students and adults were eligible in these contests. In addition to this, a razz issue of all school gossip was published in connection with Costume Day. John Lister took all the duties of editor the second semester. Peggy Thrailkill acted as advertising manager and sports editor was Jack Searles. Arnold Rivin edited the second page. Taking care of circulating the Konah and receiving out-of-town papers was the job of Virginia Morrison, circulation manager.

Headed by Charles Sullivan as president, John Wild as vice-president, and Helen Tom as secretary, they spent a busy year passing upon matters which influence school life. Many changes affecting the students are passed upon by the council before final decisions are made by the school's administrators. Every peppy and energetic upperclassman maintains election to the Pep Club as one of his chief ambitions. This white-sweatered, emblemed group is seen at all the games, for they are the force behind the maintenance of school spirit. Under the leadership of Adelle Beaman, president; Paul Strong, vice president; and James McCrea, secretary, the group filled out a successful year. Their sponsorship of several after-game dances added much to school activities. p f CIS Woods Helding E. Campbell Walterskirchen Hodson Clapp T.

Every girl automatically becomes a member as soon as she enters high school. Activities of the year include the Co-Ed Prom, the Kid Party, Girls' Club Formal, and the Mothers' Day Tea. Directing the social affairs, financing the candy stand, staging clean-ups, publishing the freshman handbook, bringing together big and little sisters, and finding work for ambitious girls makes the Girls' Club one of the outstanding organizations of the school. Invaluable aiders in these affairs are the Girls' Club cabinet and its officers. Ennola Campbell was president for the past year. She was assisted by Margaret Thrasher, vice-president, and Virginia Baird, secretary. Girls' Club cabinet committees were headed by Betty Beckham, finance; Ginette Roberts, social; Virginia Lambkin, membership; Margaret Thrasher, social service; Virginia Baird, guidance; and Ana Helding, program. Backing this feminine association is Miss Neva Copeland and other women teachers who act as friends and counselors of the girls.

The officers who guided the club through this year's maze of ushering at games, sponsoring dances, and backing the Spartan Club were James Macintosh, president; John Mohland, vice-president; and Hu Williamson, secretary. The sponsor of the club is Mr. Edward Chinske. The girls who are especially interested in physical activities join the Girls' Athletic Association and engage in badminton and basketball tournaments, go on hikes and bicycle trips, arrange swimming parties and sponsor an assembly. One of the organization's most cosmopolitan activities is the sponsorship of play days in which girls from neighboring cities take part. Sponsor of the G.A.A. is Miss Erma Monroe, girls' physical education instructor.

These students must be in the upper third of their class. Local sponsor of this national group is Miss Mann. She and other faculty members decide upon the students who are to receive recognition, and present them in an all school assembly. An annual formal banquet to which all former members are invited is the only activity of the society. Future newspaper workers and writers are included in the ranks of Quill and Scroll, International Honor Society for High School Journalists. The senior edition, edited by Helen Walterskirchen, was the society's big achievement of the year. They also edited a weekly column of high school news in the Missoulian. Officers of this year's club were: Walter Orvis, president; Betty Holmes, vice-president; and Bette Daly, secretary. Mr. John A. Linn was the ever alert advisor.

Once a year, after the first semester, initiates to this organization may be seen roaming through M.H.S. halls garbed in togas, armour, and other regalia typical of Roman culture. A distinctive feature of this year's meetings were the Latin plays given by members of the group. Assisting Glen Hinton, president, are vice president Patricia Murphey; secretary Don Harkins; and sponsor Miss Sylvia Johnson. Discussing problems of national importance, Missoula High Debaters traveled over Western Montana this school year. During the debate season the team of Donald Dobson and Bill Hornby took part in a practice clinic at the University, debates in Butte, Helena, and Plains, and a tournament here sponsored by the local club. Later they were in Helena and Butte again for the state championship. Officers were Bill Hornby, president, and Francis Barnes, secretary. Mr. Sugg sponsored the organization.

Their activities include an annual Christmas party given this year in conjunction with the Spanish club, several private gatherings, and a spring picnic. El Club Espanol is the organization only for students of Spanish. In accordance with their scholastic ability, first year students are invited to join the club, while any second year student may join.

The club met on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month to discuss stamps and collections and to trade off duplicates. In some cases rare specimens were found among common collections. Those who had only a few stamps in their possession were encouraged to come to meetings. Unlike most school organizations, the Stamp Club did not have an established membership but held itself open to any and all ardent philatelists. cShiniji Ctut' i : : i : I : Worden Smith Bishop Hiett Murphey Bunge Moody Farnsworth Minty Doney Nicol Miss Boileau Pott Worden Bishop Smith Johnson Roberts Mills Skillful living was the aim of the Campfire group this year. In practice as well as principle they carried out this project. In the fall they collaborated with the Girl Reserves in giving the Winter Ball. Delegates were sent to the Montana Campfire Convention in Helena during April. Officers this year included Barbara Bishop, president; Mary Lou Minty, vice president; Marjorie Jo Worden, secretary; and Dorothy Jean Smith, treasurer. Watching over the girls were Mrs. Donovan Worden, guardian; and Miss Violet Boileau, sponsor. One of the busiest clubs in school is the Girl Reserves. Under the motherly eye of Mrs. Arminda McDonald the girls co-sponsored a successful Winter Ball. Aside from this dance the girls held several private parties. The senior members were given a senior breakfast as the last work of the club. The president of the Girl Reserves was Mary Heisel; vice-president was Betty Hodson.

The events contributing to a successful year included the initiation, the sponsorship of a school dance, a Christmas party, a style show, a club picnic and the Mother's tea. The three committees, social, service, and program, are parts of the club that keep it alive and interesting. Miss Zoe Williams is the sponsor of this club. The Future Farmers of America is an organization which draws its members from the agriculture classes of Mr. C. M. Homer, who is also the sponsor of the club. These boys study everything that has to do with farming. Their knowledge is tested in the practical stock and grain judging contests from which Missoula contestants often emerge victorious. Officers of the club are Ira Shober, president; Ernest Wolff, vice-president; Jim Tucker, treasurer; Bob Murphy, secretary; Lyall Spooner, sentinel; and Ed Williams, reporter. juhi’i£ Jarwinri Hiqhlower Frey Slahl Badqley Knuchel Shobor Goodman R.

The benefits of the League and the ways in which it has helped, or hindered in relieving crises were analyzed and commented on by this group. The organizers and organization, as well as the history of diplomatic relations in connection with the League members, is important to the League of Nations group, for it is through this background that an intelligent discussion of the League's principles is carried on. The membership of the Press Club is made up of home room reporters who are elected to serve a school term. Their duties consist of getting weekly data and news from the members of their home rooms. Each Monday the reporters have the students write their doings of the week-end. These lists are turned in to the Konah office and are used in Friday's paper. When Friday and the Konah come, the club members procure the correct number of papers and hand them to the students of the home rooms.

Other activities include trips to theater projection rooms, power houses, the telephone building, and occasional night meetings dedicated to social purposes and radio fishing via short wave. In May the annual picnic climaxes the year and the club disbands until the next fall. Since his arrival in M.H.S., Mr. Noel I. Baker has brought a new club and recreation to the boys of this school in the form of the Rifle Club, founded by Mr. Baker for the persons in school who wish to practice target shooting. In shooting matches Missoula's rifle squad always shows well against other teams. Since its beginning as a member of the National Riflemens' Association, the M.H.S. group has come out ahead of most of the other teams of the nation. This year's president was Mark Taylor who was assisted by the other officers, Bill Brayman, Bob Gilbertson, Creed Allen, and Eugene Allen. Brayman E.

This group, under the direction of Mr. Emmet Anderson, has provided much and varied entertainment throughout the school year. Marching and playing in their purple and gold uniforms, the band could be seen between the halves of every football game. Early in the fall the members of this group sold band booster tags to the public to raise enough money to continue their activities. The tags enabled one to attend the fall concert. The band took trips to Helena during the football season and to Kalispell in April for the music meet. Another feather was added to the growing collection on its cap when David Rubinoff commended them very highly. Garbed in gold and white, the drum majorettes led the band in all of its outdoor exhibitions. Their twirling batons and drum major strut added much to the M. H. S. band. 82 Baird, Bafoa, Beagle , Brown, C. Callaway, N. Callaway, Caras, Clark, Cochrell, Conger, Cyr, Duncan, Hanson, Hartwoll, Hayhurst, Hoinrich, Hoyor, Holmes, Jacklin.

This group can be heard creating sweet notes and detouring around the discords every fourth period. The orchestra has presented two concerts under the able direction of Mr. Emmet Anderson. Besides these two concerts, the orchestra entertained in an assembly in conjunction with the band. This music organization, which is composed of 45 pieces, plays everything from the classics to the delightful melodies of Friml and Victor Herbert. Warbling catchy little ditties takes up the time of the Girls' Sextet and the Boys' Quartet. These two musical groups have now finished their second year of successful appearances, entertaining many different types of gatherings, ranging from Girls' Club meetings to concerts. In April the groups sang at the music meet for small ensembles and soloists. Both these organizations are entirely extra-curricular and both are managed and helped by Miss Kathryne Borg.

TOOTERS DIRECTOR SQUEAKERS SCREECHERS The second band, composed of approximately forty members under the direction of Mr. Emmet Anderson, is divided into two groups which practice separately in order to give more attention to the work of the individual. Both beginners, who have had no training, and intermediates, who have taken previous work, make up this section of music. Because there is no time limit on a player’s staying in one particular class, a beginner who improves sufficiently is promoted to intermediate band in the middle of the year. One of the most entertaining of the musical groups in school is the peppy and unique German band. The boys in the band did this work entirely on their own initiative and during their playing have covered nearly the whole town. The players in the band were Alan Merriam, George Beagle, Bernard Stelling, Bill Parker, and Bill Wilborn. Organized last year as an extra-curricular activity, the string quartet continued its work this year. It is under the direction of Mr. Emmet Anderson. Because it does not often play for assemblies or school functions, the string group is not very well known to high school students. It is, however, greatly appreciated by local service groups, Parent Teacher Associations, and various church clubs, for whom it plays. 84 Hanger Jacobson Gibford Howell Kern Loran C.

The group is instructed by Mr. Emmet Anderson. About 50 boys and girls make up the choir, which often sings for Missoula County High concerts. A big point of the year is its appearance at baccalaureate services. Aspiring young singers look forward to the day when they can proudly take their places in either the Boys' Glee Club or the Girls' Glee Club, for these groups contain the pick of the school vocalists. They are both directed by Miss Kathryne Borg. Members are chosen from tryouts held at the beginning of the year, although some students are admitted from previous experience. One of the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs' most appreciated contributions to school life was their lovely singing at the Christmas Cantata. Their use of candles made the singing especially impressive. In addition to their part in the cantata. the groups sang for concerts, at the music festival, and at commencement exercises. The Girls' Sextet is chosen from the Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Quartet from the Boys' Glee Club.

Harris, managed to turn out a well-polished comedy as their first production of the year in Spring Dance, written by Phillip Barry. The story was especially suited to high school casts as the plot was concerned with a group of young people at college. The leads were ably taken by Peggy Mulroney as Alex Benson, a vivacious young woman, and lack Traxler as Sam Thatcher, an intense lad with the aim to do things in life. Virginia Morrison, Darwa Willis, Dorothy Kelley and Merry Patricia Tracy were convincing as college girl friends who gave the heroine advice on how to snare the hapless hero. A distinct Bronx accent and many hilarious mannerisms gave laughs to Ginette Roberts' portrayal of the maid. Mary Ann Walterskirchen. as the fussy housemother, gave her usual excellent performance. With the exception of Jpck Trailer, none of the boys in the play had ever had any experience in M.H.S. dramatics. Especially outstanding was Raymond Peete as the pessimistic woman hater, the Lippincott, Sam Thatcher's friend. Newcomer Jack Burgess distinguished himself as the handsome school teacher. As a man with a way with women Pierre Streit seemed to enjoy his work. Sophomores Bruce Toole and Dick Jesse took the roles of Princeton men with a yen for women. Although not up to previous productions in the opinions of many, Spring Dance provided a pleasant evening's entertainment. 88 ''Jacuttij This year, Miss Mary V. Harris gathered some of the members of the faculty about her and presented the hilarious The Bishop Misbehaves, on February 29 and March 1. Mr. Carroll Miller, who directs the mixing of devilish solutions in his chemistry lab, became the darling Bishop of Broadminister, a lovable old man with a yen for solving mysteries. The Amazon queen of M.H.S., Miss Erma Monroe, was transformed into the bishop's sweet elderly sister who had always wanted to be a pirate. When these two let their hidden instincts come to the surface and started mixing with crime and meddling with desperate characters, things began to happen. Mr. Edward Davis, as the wicked barman, seemed to know a lot about the correct technique of knife throwing, and he must have been a frequent visitor to the zoo to master that peculiar gait he used on the stage. As the poor timid Mr. Brooke, the bishop's slightly deaf and very dumb secretary, Mr. Clifton Worthen received the laughter of the audience every time he showed his long, doleful face. Miss Katherine Craighead as Hester Grantham, and Mr. C. B. Bartholomew as Donald Meadows, proved to their pupils that they were not inexperienced when it came to the art of making love. Miss Audrey Procter and Mr. Henry Zahn, as the slightly common social climbers, shouted at each other in the best approved style. CAST LOOT GRABBER PISTOL WAVER In the parts of Collins and Frenchy, the self-made crooks, Mr. John Linn and Mr. Frank Kelley were good in their characterizations. CAFE SOCIETY? THE BISHOP ELUCIDATES 89 Crooks and Etiquette Young Man's Fancy Suicide Note Patriots Ons. Farce, comedy, and tragedy were all well represented in the student directed one-acts which were given February 1. It was proved in Once a Pupil, that teachers are truly wonderful creatures and handy to have around in any emergency. Peggy Thrailkill, as the old-maid school teacher, was outstanding in her part in which she handled the affairs of her old pupils. George Lawrenson played the role of the crook who wanted to be a policeman; Fred Bordeau was good in his characterization of the Italian mill worker; and Bill Hornby took the part of the wealthy mill owner's son. The first to be presented on the program was Not Quite Such a Goose, which was directed by Dorothy Kelley. The story concerned the undoing of a tough woman-hater, Wayne Myers, who turned creampuff in the hands of the right girl, Imogene Felton. Dorothy Kelley played the part of his beautiful sister, and Connie Kuffel was good as her amorous boy friend. The part of the long suffering mother was played by Violet Nelson. In spite of the suicide idea given in the title, Farewell Cruel World was a comedy of the lightest type. It was the story of three young people who decide that life isn't worth living, and agree to end it all. It works out fine until they notice that the building is on fire, and then they discover that life isn't so bad after all. Helen Boatright played the part of the beautiful but not so intelligent high school girl. Kathleen Kirkpatrick, who was also the director, did a very nice job in characterizing the love-lorn wallflower, and Joe Beau-bien, as the bashful girl-shy boy, was good in his part. Chimney Corner was presented by an all girl cast. The story told of the workings of a secret service'organization to which the women of Belgium belonged during the World War. Mary Ann Walterskirchen, who was also the director, was very convincing in her interpretation of the old peasant woman. Dale Burnett played with fine feeling the part of the fiery young patriot. As the other agents in the secret service, Betty Shannon, June High, and Mabel Oblinger were good in their parts. 90 Due to the combined efforts of Mr. Emmet Anderson and Miss Kathryn Borg of the music department, Miss Mary V. Harris of the dramatics department, and Miss Erma Monroe of the girls' athletics department, this year's operetta, The Mocking Bird, was one of the high spots of the year. Evelyn Moore and Bob Severy had the leading roles in the gay lilting musical comedy, and the other principal parts were taken by capable members of the chorus. Special mention ought to be made of the good characterization of La Farge, the pirate, which Dean Lock-ridge gave to his part in the production. In spite of no previous experience, Dean stole the show while he was on the stage. The plot, which is very similar to the story of Naughty Marietta, concerned the coming of the French cassetts to New Orleans to become the brides of the settlers. They are led by a lovely countess in disguise, Evelyn Moore. Complications arise when the wishy-washy governor, Norman Jacobsen, and his friend the wealthy pompous citizen, Clarence Howell, refuse to let the settlers defend themselves against the Spanish soldiers, led by Charles Dahlstrom, who have come to take over the colony. The girls enlist the services of the wicked, but not so bad, pirate, La Farge, and the dashing young American, Bob Severy, and drive the horrible Spaniards from the old homestead. The colorful costumes and the sets added to the blithe, happy air of the operetta. The Mocking Bird is the latest in a series of annual operettas in M. H. S. All of these have been highly successful. One Gilbert and Sullivan show, The Gondoliers, was among the series during the last four years. Another was The Count and The Coed, a tale of American college life in which the real Count never appeared. The Bells of Beaujolais presented an amusing story of American tourists in Normandy at festival time. Prospects for the future in M. H. S. are steadily improving and equally entertaining programs can be promised for future years. 91 Triumph of the Mocking Bird Intrigue runs riot Plotters prepare victim Romance — Suspense iL !z anczi Barn dancers 92 Guests Checkers Musicians Pauso for refreshments Charley decorates Jo’iniaitL Decorative juniors Ready to go Dress occasion Formal but happy The girls of M. H. S. were given their first opportunity to inviegle their men into neck-ties and stiff shoes December 1, when the Girl Reserves presented their annual Winter Ball. Since this was a girl-ask-boy affair, there was naturally a large crowd. Under a ceiling of hanging pine cones, the girls showed off their winter formals to an appreciative audience. If the first formal of the year acted as a barometer, the other formals were assured of success. Anchors, life-preservers, and deck chairs marked the theme of the annual Girls' Club dance March 15. The tradition of the Girls' Club is to put on the most elaborate formal of the school year, and this season the girls certainly carried on that tradition. The lunch room was decorated to represent the deck of a ship with railing around the dance floor and port holes for the windows. The decorations were so realistic that several couples were caught hanging over the rail on the verge of sea-sickness, and many were heard to insist that the floor was heaving under their feet. The girls will have to work harder than ever next year to surpass the dance that was given this year. The big event of the year was the Junior Prom which was held in the Student Union on May 3rd. All three ball rooms were crowded with sophisticated juniors, intellectual seniors, and now and then the sweet beaming face of an innocent freshman girl could be seen. The new spring formals in all colors of the rainbow, helped lend a festive air to the dance, and there was no doubt that some of the happy feeling was due to the knowledge that the end of school was only two weeks away. Mrs. Keeton can rest assured that her Junior Prom was the hit of the year. 93 JSjiort LA anas.:i Midway between the stiff collars of the formal dances and the wilted ones of the matinee and after-the-game dances comes a group of dances which can hardly be classified. Some of them are extremely informal such as the Junior Barn Dance and some of them are a little more dressy such as the Junior Bubble Dance. These dances perhaps can be called the miscellaneous dances of M. H. S. The first of these dances was the Senior Mixer which is always the first dance of the year. The seniors stated that the aim of the mixer was to get the freshmen and the underclassmen in general to become acquainted with the rest of the school as much as possible. All underclassmen were urged to come to the dance and there was a good sized response to this call. Another of the earlier dances was the Junior Barn Dance. This dance, always one of the dances which is looked forward to by the students, was as popular as ever this year. The dancers came dressed in their overalls and bandanas and generally had a good time throwing corn cobs. Another of this group of dances was the Junior Christmas Dance which was held on the last day of school before the Christmas vacation. Christmas trees and lights provided the atmosphere for the dance. Still another dance of this series was the Junior Spring Dance which was held toward the end of the year. Popping balloons, for which the juniors blew from sixth period to supper time, provided the greater part of the decorations. Branches covered with hanging moss helped lend atmosphere to the lunch room. Other dances held at M. H. S. were frequent. Among these, taking a great place in the social life of the underclassmen, were the Soph-Frosh hops which were exclusively for the youngsters. Through the medium of dances the social life finds itself in the Annuals of M. H. S. Sedale Hairy Questioning Freakish Cradle roll Jitterbugs special Shuffling off Sweet and slow Swinging out Rugcutters dream Sophisticated swing Cutting up TIl h To many, the most pleasant part of the dancing season of M. H. S. came through the matinee dances and the after-game-mixers given in the lunchroom. These matinee dances and mixers were dime dances which perhaps accounts for their popularity. They lasted one or two hours and music was furnished by the high school dance orchestra. During the year there was much agitation for matinee dances in greater abundance but when this prayer was answered the dances were not a great success. Consequently only about four matinee dances occurred. One of these affairs was a benefit for the Tuberculosis Association. The orchestra donated its services, free pencils were given to each one attending, and all the proceeds were turned over to the Tuberculosis Association. Another of these dances was sponsored by the M club on the day of its initiation. The initiates contended in peanut rolling races to the great delight of the crowd. Still another matinee dance for chronic jitterbugs was offered by the orchestra itself. At this dance the admission price was fixed at 10c and a free bottle of Coca Cola was given to each person there. The after-game-mixers followed basketball and football games. These also were 10c dances and were sponsored by the M club and Pep Club. The school dance orchestra played for these dances also. One of the features of the dance held after the Great Falls game was the crowning of ''Miss-Ouia'' in the person of Dorcas Means. The lights were turned out and at a pre-arranged signal the orchestra swung into Missoula High and spotlights illuminated the throne. The name of Miss-Oula had been kept a strict secret until the dance. The matinee and after-the-game-mixers were enjoyed by those attending, but unfortunately this number was not always large. 95 90 Rip returns Stanley performs Huntington puzzles Mrs. Keeton talks Rubinoff shows incorrect method Birch mystifies Miss Borg directs Patsy plays The assembly season of M. H. S. started early with the Bitter Root assembly and ended late with the senior assembly. Instead of Northwest assemblies, National School assemblies were presented throughout the year. The first of these was Rip Van Winkle, an entertaining version of the famous story. The next was the Stanley Electrical Wonders in which Mr. Stanley demonstrated many electrical devices. The third assembly was that of Huntington, the magician, who presented an interesting ahd varied program of the newest stage magic. Next in line came the famous Rubinoff who was not of the National School assembly group. A concert in which he directed the band in the playing of a Sousa march was featured. Another assembly pf great interest was that of Birch, another magician, who as a feature performed the age olcf Hindu rope trick. Lastly came a program in which animals of the jungle delighted the students. yh a Happy Coach Chinsko Helen ? Helen M‘ Club Initiates Equally as interesting as the assemblies by the professional performers, or perhaps more appreciated by the student body, were those given by the students regularly enrolled in M.H.S. Several pep assemblies were presented to cheer for the basketball and football teams. Many groups and clubs of the school offered their own entertainments. Among the outstanding of these were the Annual assembly, M club assembly, and the G.A.A. assembly. In the Annual assembly the editor of this year's book, Lloyd Eastman, acted the part of a grandfather who was bringing back fond memories by looking through his old 1940 yearbook. The M club assembly consisted of several parts. The first part of the program was the stirring dramatization of The Shooting of Dan McGrew. The assembly season of M.H.S. was highly successful.

Judge Sloan who operated the printing press and printed tickets for dances as well as programs was on call at all times. After school is an especially busy time at M. H. S. Many leave school when the bell rings, but many others address invitations and do other things for their clubs. Phases of work on Missoula High's two publications are pictured here; but for one who has not experienced a term on the Konah staff or a stretch on the Annual, they hold no meaning. He can hardly realize the efforts expended in meeting deadlines with quality proof. Konah reporters must meet weekly Ideadlines; Bitter Root staff members must meet deadlines throughout their year-long job. However, the experience gained and the fun of actively participating in this phase of school life more than compensates for the time and energy spent. Judge mans press Juniors start tickets sales CLk Wotk Back to dolls Nov«l decorations Food lor charity Selling hot dogs, sponsoring a show, planning the Junior Bubble Dance, Barn Dance, Christmas Dance, and Prom, keep the busy juniors ever on the move. Much of the revenue for the Prom comes from the sale of hot dogs and show tickets to the junior-sponsored movie, which this year was The Mikado. Thus it is that the sight of a freezing junior frantically begging, Buy a hot dog from the Junior Class,” is a familiar one to all who go to M. H. S. football games. Juniors sponsor Mikado Many an M.H.S. student has discovered that there is a good deal more work involved in the sponsoring of a dance than had been formerly thought possible. Especially is this true of the Girls' Club Dances. Finding novel decorations for the annual Kid Party was one of the major concerns of the girls. At this dance admission was gained by bringing canned goods or by dressing dolls, both of which are turned over to charity to help make a merry Christmas for all. Purchasers fill office Maxine sells hot dogs Sea of Smiling Faces Spartan Club Entertainment G.A.A. Recreation with fun is illustrated in the picture of a crowd at the newly inaugurated Spartan Club. Ping-pong tournaments and dancing provide lively evenings. Laugh provoking assemblies break the monotony of school life and pep up lagging students. Representatives from M.H.S. to the High School Week in Bozeman included committee chairmen of the Girls' Club, extemporaneous speakers, artists, dramatists and mechanical drawers. These extra activities aid students in developing cosmopolitan personalities. Club members formulate plans Girls' Club Cabinet gathers Behind the Tenm At the game Miss Oula is crowned The Pep Club this year was very active in promoting rallies and after-game-mixers, the most successful being the crowning of Miss-Oula dance. The Ski Club went farther in proving that it was becoming one of the most popular clubs in school. The Stamp club, the Girls' club Knitting group, and the Gas Model club, while not being so well known, made up for it in enthusiasm.

COACH BUZZETTI COACHES The man who tears his hair and turns pale at each new turn in the game is known to one and all as Coach Edward Chinske. To him falls the job of picking the best players from the young hopefuls who turn out early for practice. Sharing the abuse or praise with him is assistant coach Ed Buzzetti, who also goes on scouting trips. Manager Dick Walker and assistant Irvin Patten help, while Carroll Miller worries about the Reserve squad. TEAM Although the football season of the M. H. S. Spartans started out with a bang it ended up rather disastrously. Commencing with two victories over Whitefish and Butte Central the team looked good. Later it seemed to be a little outclassed in the new Big Six conference. This is the first year the six largest high schools in the state have organized for this type of competition. The boys of the high school are now looking forward to next year and football again. 108 VARSITY FOOTBALL La Grandeur Hamilton Tietz Richards Ketchuin O'Laughlin Bellusci Solander Scott Lawrence LaTriello Mohland Pitts Johnson Macintosh Giffin Dratz Hinton Manager Walker PASSER RECEIVER MAC LEAPS PAUSE TEAM M.H.S.

It is they who do the numerous odd jobs on the field and in the gym. Suits must be cared for, clean towels kept on hand, scores kept and countless little things from toting water to giving the players a rubdown must be done. The unsung heroes this year were Dick Walker and frvin Patten. Patten G. Jacobson Findell H. Jacobson Kenyon Berky Vicain Thompson McCarthy Rieck Griffin Hysen Shields Pew Juhnke Streit Leaphart 109 Swartz Hamilton Macintosh Williamson Giffin Lawrence Down under his teammates' punts went Ralph Swartz. This senior's good judgment prevented many a long return. While track is senior John Mohland's specialty, he was a power in the line as an efficient tackle. Red haired Jim Hamilton, a senior, opened holes in the opponents' lines with well aimed charges. Straight yardage by hard driving made Bob Gulbrandsen an asset to the team in his position as fullback. He is a senior. Captain Jim Macintosh worked well all season on the defensive side in his position as guard. M. H. S. will be sorry to see Jim go this year. Sophomore Glen Hinton called plays and passed successfully this year in his position as quarterback. Blond Hu Williamson held that line with fine defensive work as center in his last football season. Center Bud Crain, a sophomore, was a brilliant prospect for next year's team, but he left Missoula High. Showing well in defensive guard work this season was Art Giffin, a junior this year. Jim O'Laughlin, star halfback in the few games he played, was out most of the season with a strained knee. He is a junior and next year's hope. Brawn and muscle aided junior Art Lawrence in making his opponents bite the dust after hard tackles. Handicapped by an auto accident, Zane Ketchum was unable to regain his former skill at left halfback. This was Zone's last year in competition. Getchell Dratz Next year's captain is Tom Pitts who plays a fast, aggressive game in the position of right end. Sophomore Bill Myers was groomed to take the tailback position of O'Laugh-lin as a passing ace. He is a bright prospect for next year. Windy Getchell, a junior, did a hard season's work. Bravely he charged huge opponents to open spaces for his teammates. Playing his last year of football, Bob LaGrandeur was in all the end plays that came his way. Junior Wilbur Tietz played as substitute center on this season's gridiron. Sophomore Harvey Solander gained experience for future years as a back-field player at right halfback. Shining in future M.H.S. football games will be Wilbur Scott, a sophomore guard with ramming qualities. Guard John Bellusci showed spirit and determination in his position despite his small size. Myers LaGrandeur Solander Bellusci Going out consistently for four years, Bill Dratz, quarterback, won an M this year with hard, relentless driving. Kirk Badgley has one more year in his position as tackle where he distinguished himself during the latter part of the season. Track and basketball as well as football make Bob LaTrielle an all around athlete. Badgley LaTrielle Whitey Burns, a sophomore, was out most of the season with an injured hip.

Williamson Clawson Jacobson Johnson Pitts 113 105 quintet Seven old men HOME ROOM VS. FACULTY In a thrilling contest between the faculty and the winning home room basketball team the faculty finally emerged victorious after a torrid struggle. Leading scorer for the faculty team was Ed Chinske who scored eighteen points. Soroos and Buzzetti, scoring six points each, were the only other faculty scorers. High point man for the home room aces was lohn Wild who came through the game with 11 points. In the third and last quarters the lead was changing rapidly as first the faculty and then the champs would hit pay dirt. Finally, through the shooting eye of Buzzetti the last and winning score for the faculty was hung up as they won 30-28. In playing the seniors of M.H.S. the unbeatable faculty team finally met its match as they were stampeded 55-26. Leading scorer of the fray was senior Garnaas who scored 16 points with his accurate shooting. The faculty's Ed Chinske, high scorer for the home room-faculty game, poured in 12 points to lead the old men of the school. Although the faculty played with seven men during most of the game, they were still unable to even come close to the high-flying seniors. The erratic and inconsistent passing and shooting of the faculty combined with the good shooting and passing of the seniors was enough to give the game to the graduating boys. Will it go thru? 114 RESERVES Findell Scott Dahlstrom Reidy Hinton Pew Garnaas Pronovost Steqner Kallas RESERVE BASKETBALL Winning eight games and losing four the Reserve basketball team usually played as the first half of a double header for which the varsity squad furnished the second half of the action. However, the Reserves did play the feature game of several sessions. Their excellent play gave them a seasonal average of .666, one of which they can well be proud. One of the features of the season was the series of games with the Superior C.C.C. of which the Reserves won two and the Superior boys won two. An interesting feature of this series of games was that the two teams ended up with an exactly equal number of points. The first game was rather a walk away for the Superior boys with the game ending 30-23. In the second game the Reserves stampeded the C.C.C. by the huge score of 40-20. Being almost as good in the third, the Reserves edged out the opposing team 34-23 in a thrillingly close struggle. Finally in the last game the boys from Superior partially took their revenge by beating the local boys 34-19. It will be interesting to see how this series of games comes out next year. From these boys of the Reserve team come the veterans who may win championships for us in future years.

LfnUxichoLaitic dfianijiiom With Greg Rice, champion distance runner and former M. H. S. athlete as an interested spectator, Missoula High trackmen carried away the thirty-seventh interscholastic meet with a total of 50 points. In second place with 32 x z points was Butte Public, Missoula's traditional rival. Under a blazing sun, throngs of sunburned, thirsty spectators saw three new state records set. Husky John Mohland of Missoula set a new record of 51 feet 3J 2 inches in the shot put. P. Kampfe of Kali-spell tossed the discus far enough to hang up a new record of 141 feet 3% inches. Steve Muchmore of Drummond cleared the bar at 6 feet 3 inches to establish a new record in the high jump. The arrival of thousands of visitors to Missoula signified the starting of another grand meet. Highlight of this year's meet was an exhibition race by Greg Rice, holder of the world's records in the two and three mile, and 3000 and 5000 meter runs. Perhaps the most thrilling event for Missoula supporters was the mile run. In this event Howard Jacobson of Missoula held the lead until the finishing sprint. In the last stretch McCall of Butte Public put on speed and passed Jacobson. While thousands of fans cheered themselves hoarse, Jacobson added a final burst of speed to break the tape. Another interesting event was the javelin throw. For a while it looked as though another state record might be broken as Bonahoom of Great Falls continued to throw the spear to the far end of the field. Hopes did not materialize for the final throw was 195 feet 11 i inches, a foot and one-half under the state record. In other phases of the meet Missoula also carried off honors. The Konah received a rating of All State, highest according to the standards of the Montana Interscholastic Editorial Association. Helen Walterskirchen received first place in the girls declamatory contest with her selection, The Yellow Wallpaper. Ken Willard tied for fourth place in boys' golf while Helen Walterskirchen brought home the bacon with second place in girls' golf. The team of Merriam and Jardine won first place in the boys' tennis doubles. In the singles Alan advanced into the finals where he was defeated during a morning of continuous sessions. Betty Olson was adjudged best actress for her excellent portrayal of fiery Kate in The Taming of the Shrew. Miss Harris' cutting of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew received high acclaim from the judges in the drama festival. New this year to interscholastic competition is the drama festival. . This festival consists of critical judging and replaces the former system of awarding places. Miss Mary V. Harris has long advocated this festival idea and this year saw the realization of her plans.

Stegner was again at his usual post when track season rolled around. He and his assistant, Mr. Noel I. Baker, started to work with the green tracksters and finished the season this spring with a polished team. The two coaches divide the work between them although each coaches a few special events. Both Steg and Bake are old track men. While in high school and college, Coach Stegner participated in many sports, one of which is baseball. In the army he gained experience in boxing and wrestling. Before coming to M. H. S. Mr. Stegner coached in Washington and Idaho schools. Mr. Baker specialized in the pole vault in high school, where he got his first crack at the sport and later at Washington State college. He also tried his skill at the discus. As usual, too few boys turned out and according to the coaches a team for which not enough boys turn out cannot be a championship team. The manager for the track squad was Bob Gamble. Dorcas taps the shuttlecock Manager Hodson Taking its place in the sports for the girls of M.H.S. is the ever popular badminton. This game is played enthusiastically for it is a game which is liked by all girls. A sport which is sometimes compared to tennis, badminton calls for a small, light racquet and a feathered shuttlecock. A round-robin badminton tournament was held as in the other G.A.A. activities. The manager for this season was Betty Hodson. Girls' basketball is one of the growing sports of the fairer sex of M.H.S. This game differs greatly from the boys' game as the girls play much less strenuously. On a girls' team there are six players, and each team uses only one-half of the basketball court. Each year the girls in G.A.A. are divided into teams and a round-robin tournament is played. Basketball manager this year was senior Ruth Timm. BASKETBALL WINNERS Hodnon Timm McMonus Estes Stickler Tom Shannon Holding Fearl Verhonik Seidell Toelle Manaqor Harlow ARCHERY WINNERS Toolle Cochroll Foarl Moans Young Dianas of M.H.S. received a chance to prove their skill in the archery tournament. Although archery is not as picturesque when it is inside as when it is outside, it did not lose its appeal to the girls of the school. Fully seventy sharpshooters entered the tournament. Jean Harlow, manager of archery, kept track of the girls who tried their hands at this sport. New equipment installed this year enabled many more enthusiasts to participate. VOLLEYBALL WINNERS Stickler Foarl Tom Seldoll Vorhonlk Toollo Donaldson Shannon Still another round-robin tournament took place in the M.H.S. gym under the auspices of the G.A.A. This was the volley ball tournament managed by Evelyn Cherry. With new rules and young opponents the upperclassmen found it difficult to keep up the pace of previous years. The final winning team was composed of underclassmen. The seniors proved their skill in the winning of the class tournament, which followed the earlier round-robin fray.
