Army Bill Richardson Campbell '43 U. S. Marine To all those who have gone from Missoula County High School into any branch of the service we humbly and gratefully dedicate this book, in the hope it will in some way show our appreciation of the sacrifices these men and women are making.

The Konah, with John Linn as adviser, was published the first semester under co-editors Gene Kramer and Don Weston. News editors were Martha Staley, Marjorie Coster, and Jean Glenn. Charles Linthacum served as sports editor, and Harry Noel as photographer. Ad manager was Jo Ann Rupp, cir- culation manager was Pearl Fornall, and Margaret Klingler was business manager. The second semester staff was headed by Laila Wanda McGreal and Jean Glenn as co-editors, with Elnore Smith and Valerie Yule as news editors. Marian Watson was advertising manager and Cleo Barnes was art editor. Charles Linthacum, Harry Noel, Margaret Klingler, and Pearl Fornall remained as sports editor, photographer, business manager, and circulation manager, respectively. Several new posts were created the second semester: John Suchy as feature editor, and Catherine Batt as copy editor. . . . second semester Literary Magazine of MHS. the Kopee in previous years has been published twice a year. This year, because of lack of material, it was published once, but contained the best of this year's work. Kopee sales are conducted through English classes on a competition basis and prizes are given to the highest salesmen. This year's high salesmen were Pat Small, Leonard Diedrichs, and Ann Stone. Responsible for a successful Kopee are senior editors Gerald Diettert and Jean Glenn, junior editors Warren Spears and Marian Kolppa, and sophomore editor Diane Dragstedt. Laila Wanda McGreal was makeup editor; Margaret Ann Klingler, business manager; Mildred Himing, art editor; and Catherine Batt and Ruth Croskrey were typists. National honor society for high school journalists. Quill and Scroll is sponsored in MHS by John Linn, journalism instructor. Don Weston is this year's president, and other officers are: Jo Ann Rupp, vice president, and Katie Lou Shallenberger, secretary. Highlight of this year's activities was the annual Quill and Scroll initiation banquet, at which twelve new members were initiated. Honorary initiates at the banquet were Lloyd Hogan, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, and Guy T. Stegner, track coach. Both have given assistance to the Konah business staff. As the originator of the Kopee, it also sponors the Kopee drives. Quill and Scroll has its yearly picnic at Montana Power Park. . • . attentive girls QixL’CU of service to the entire school. President Audrey Kramis leads the club in its many useful activities. Other officers are Eunice Hysen, vice president, and Katherine Lansing, secretary-treasurer. Miss Neva Copeland is chief faculty overseer. The club is guided by the cabinet which is made up of six committees directing different works of the organization. The social committee has as its sponsor Miss Agnes Brown, and for its head, Barbara Haines. This committee is responsible for all social functions, planning programs, and decorating for the occasions. The social service committee, under the sponsorship of Miss Katherine Craighead, and leadership of Katy Lou Shallenberger, supplies the girls that act as the school nurse's assistants. The Kid Party is under their charge, the proceeds of which this year went to the Red Cross. They also supervise the distribution of Big Sisters for freshmen girls. Since 1919 the Girls' Club has been organized, having as its members all girls in high school. Its purposes are to create a spirit of friendliness and cooperation, and to be .. .officers {% ft ft . . . finance . . . social . .. guidance ... social service The guidance committee, advised by Miss Edith Dawes, with Eunice Hysen, as its chairman, revises the handbooks for freshmen, and then prepares tests for them, to make certain they know their rules and regulations. They also have charge of one meeting during the year. The program committee is sponsored by Miss Hazel Swearingen, and lead by Katherine Lansing. The committee has as its task preparing every program for each monthly meeting, when all the girls meet for a mass get-together. They work out skits, and plan the spring style show. The finance committee, guided by Miss Elsie Wadell has Wilma Konkell as its committee chairman. Girls from this committee take turns in caring for the candy stand, and handle all the finances of the organization. . programs . membership Miss Copeland The membership committee is sponsored by Miss Neva Copeland, and led by Harriet Haines, chairman. It handles all the publicity, and ticket sales for the many affairs sponsored by the club, and sees to it that all members who are ill get sympathy cards or flowers. ... cabinet heads k As the Montana Legislature serves our state, so does the Student Council serve Missoula High. This student governing body is made up of an elected representative from each home room in school. Meetings are held every Monday night after school, and the volume of the work to be done usually keeps the council until after five o'clock. Under the capable direction of President Gene Kramer, Vice-President Don Weston, and Secretary Katherine Lansing, Missoula High has made a start in the direction of capable student government. The council discusses and approves or rejects important changes and matters which affect school life before submitting them to the student body and faculty members. The installation of the monitor system, the managing of the War Chest drive, and the selling of Athletic Tournament tickets are some of the major problems, besides other minor matters which always depend on the Student Council for settlement. Outshining all these successes, however, is the installation of student prices in our Missoula theaters. Work ing with the Parent-Teachers' Association the Student Council has brought the prices down to 40 cents at the Wilma and 35 cents at the other theaters. The Student Council also rewrote the old Constitution which had been in effect since 1929, and sponsored Old Clothes Day. The sucess of the noise parade and bonfire before the Thanksgiving game were also due to the diligent efforts of the Student Council Head Tom Wickes. JW CM Led by hustling Jerry Walterskirchen, the M Club enjoyed numerous activities and donated generously to worthy organizations. Jerry was assisted by Jack O'Laughlin as vice president and Bob Anderson as his treasurer. Early in the fall, the club sponsored the painting of the M to supplant the usual hair cutting of the freshmen in hopes that this would become a tradition. Assisting in the organization and control of athletic acti- vities, the M Club has been able to lighten the work of the sponsors. The club's aftergame dances in the lunchroom are famous and have been the talk of the winter season. Perhaps the swankiest affair is the M Club dinner dance at which the coaches are honored for their fine work during the season just completed. The club lost its president to the armed forces this spring. Although missed by his men, Jerry's term of office was ably completed by Jack O'Loughlin. . . . wearers of the M g«L’ ”j cu Comprised solely of leaders in GAA is the Girls' M Club. The girls win their letters by earning six hundred points in sports. The sports sponsored by GAA for point earning are: volley ball, badminton, softball, tennis; and the individual sports: hiking, bicycling, ice skating, roller skating, bowling, and horseback riding. The M Club girls take the lead in planning and managing the annual play day for the eighth grade girls of Missoula. The girls also win points by managing and officiating at the tournaments which are sponsored by the GAA during the year. double badminton, softball, and tennis tourneys between classes for the girls. Included in G.A.A. are the advanced tumbling and pyramid building team of ten girls and a beginners team of ten. Topping the activities of the year was the swimming party at the University March 2, and the annual playday on April 7 sponsored for the benefit of the eighth grade girls of Missoula who are to enter high school next fall. rfi-iocuition With a membership of one hundred seventeen, the Girls' Athletic Association is one of the most active clubs in MHS. The G.A.A. sponsors basketball, volleyball, single and Taking temperatures keeps the group of girls at the ranch known as the Nurse's Assistants busy. The girls, who work one period a day for a semester, help the Nurse in her examination of freshman, run errands, check on students dropped from the permit list and those returned, and answer the office telephone. In charge of these girls is the care of the emergency rooms where boys and girls who are ill during school hours may go. The girls get practical experience in the care of cuts and minor bums, taking pulse and temperatures, and in general caring for the welfare of the Hands. Newly organized in MHS, the duties of the hall monitors are to keep students from causing disturbances in the halls. Though responsible to the Student Association, they have their own officers. Heading these vigilantes as president is Hal Edwards. Vice president is Dave Freeman, and secretary is Phil Hauck. A captain is chosen weekly for every period for the purpose of seeing that the monitors are at their posts and to collect report slips. Horizon dCuC Organized in two groups, one for the freshmen and one for the sophomores, the Horizon Club, the high school Camp Fire Girls, have had a year highlighted by many interesting events. Both groups have been studying therapy, meeting together once a month and separately once. Their meetings have been in the form of supper parties with guest speakers on some phase of therapy. Besides these they have had several special parties, such as a bowling party and a slumber party. These groups, in their attractive blue and white unforms, have been real trailblazers on the ranch. Student }nddia Cut Organized to promote the Federal Union peace plan, the Student Federalists have had an interesting and active year. Their first activity was to send three delegates, Jack Murray, Barbara Haines, and Bob Rolfson, to the national convention in Chicago last fall. Following that they had an assembly and drives to increase interest in the organization. At their meetings they have had interesting discussions on the value of vagous peace plans. The highlight of the year was when Clarence Streit, Missoula graduate and founder of the Federal Union plan, visited the local group and spoke before the assembly. . . . leaders ' PE(2 CM Where there is pep and energy, there is the Pep Club. The ambition of most students is Jo be chosen a member of this honorary organization composed of elected juniors and seniors and the cheerleaders. Always leading in school spirit, they have sponsored numerous pep assemblies and rallies to get up enthusiasm for games. Several of the after game dances have been given by this energetic group also. Keeping the yells going at the games has been the work of our cheerleaders. Less glamorous but part of the Pep Club duties is ushering at football and basketball games, a job which they have done faithfully. Yes, the Pep Club has really kept the ranch on its toes. With the return of their sponsor, Mr. Sugg, the Debate Club was reorganized this year and has rapidly increased in numbers and activities. On the question Resolved: that the legal voting age should be lowered to 18 years. they held several interesting debates with out of town schools. The climax of this year's work was the state tournament during May. MHS was represented by several teams who held their own very well against opposing schools. Their emblems, with the symbolic gavel, were designed by Brice Schuller, freshman. Two members. Jack Murray and Barbara Haines, hold membership in the National Forensic League, with other members soon to have enough points to join. Officers are Barbara Haines, Bill LaCombe, and Valerie Yule. Being revived this year is the Radio Club, one of the oldest clubs in MHS. Club members have been studying radio through the means of reports given on subjects assigned every two weeks. Learning Morse code through the practice of sending imaginary messages is one of the more exciting features of the club. The club also sponsors the radio magazine found in the library for school use. J2ujxafiy c tjuad Practice makes perfect must be the motto of the library squad as they are getting practical library experience under the capable direction of Miss Kathryn Geiger. The library is open every period and after school until 4:15, with two students at the desk and one girl managing the Girls' Club section. Their duties are to check books out and in, return books to their correct places on the shelves, make out overdue slips, and help other students to find the information they need. The Library Squad should be commended for giving its time and energy to help others. Oft LC£. LjUUcl Composed of volunteers, the Office Squad is one of the busiest groups in MHS. The girls work one period a day for one semester answering the intra-phone and taking all incoming telephone calls. The girls file, deliver the permit list and bulletin third period, and bring persons wanted by the office to the office. One girl also works before and after school each semester posting attendance. This group is perhaps one of the most valuable on the ranch. (fjLrt £l£T(7£l Although not under the direction oi the high school, the student recreation center, or Rec, as we fondly call it, is nevertheless an important part of student life. The Rec has been under the guidance of the Y.W.C.A. A new Rec committee of two members from each class is elected every semester. The staff of the Rec Rumor is chosen from the Rec committee. . . . Ziegfield Follies (?) . . . High on the active list of girls' clubs, the Girl Reserves have gone all out in the drive to help the war effort both this year and last. The Girl Reserves have registered women for war work and have salvaged fat. Their big project this year is to help sponsor a camp not too far from town where grade school children who can't go to the regular camp can spend some time. Though they had to cancel their formal, they gave us a grand Sadie Hawkins dance on April 21. Topping their year's activities was their Mother and Daughter banquet in May. . . • eight to the bar , . . cin z fniziiccuz tiuUnt Toxum One of the least known but most active of clubs is the Pan American Student Forum, better known as PASF. Club members have been engaged in the preparation of a scrap- £[uk Introduced at MHS last year, and distinguished for being a club without officers the Art Club has gained a rightful place among our clubs. Shirley Lintz designed the snappy emblems. Among the club activities for the year were included construction book on our state and country to exchange with a Latin-American school. Highlighting the years activities were its annual Spanish carnival in February and spring picnic. of seven hundred Christmas cards for use of men at the Fort, painting of murals for recreation rooms for the enlisted men at the Fort, and making of weekly posters for the USO. Jutux£ Jarni£’Li of z fmz’ii.ca The fifteen year old local chapter of Future Farmers of America is made up of boys enrolled in vocational agriculture and voluntary members, all of whom have met membership requirements. Advancement through the four grades of membership: Green Hands, Chapter Farmer, State Farmer, and American Farmer, is contingent on definite accomplishments with respect to farming, earnings, investments, leadership, and scholarship. Twenty-five members belonged to the chapter this year and were directed by Ted Plummer, President. To promote greater interest in small-bore shooting and to develop patriotism among high school students is the purpose of the Ranch's Rifle Club. Safety is the important factor in handling guns as gun accidents do not happen, they are caused. The club motto is: We must overcome carelessness with discipline and ignorance with education. Mr. C. L. Taylor and Mr. R. R. Bruce of the Missoula Rifle Association and The Garden City Rifle Association, with the support of the Board of Education have made the Rifle Club possible. future snipers .. . Preparing girls for home making, the Home Economics Club is sponsored by Miss Zoe Williams. Ruth Heinrich presided as president for the year, Shirley Lee as vice president, and Florence Dufresne has been secre- Lam tary-treasurer of the club. The club's activities included monthly meetings, club sales in the lunchrooms, and construction of articles for use by the American Red Cross. The Christmas party was the social highlight of the year. . . . three stars Honorary club for dramatics is the Thespians, sponsored by Miss Harris and headed by president Bob Farnsworth, vice-president Fred Lerch, and secretary-treasurer Marilyn Barnes. The Thespians presented 'Tomorrow the World early in the fall; later they produced the junior play, Spring Green ; and at Christmas co-operated with the music de- partment to give us the Christmas Cantata. Being patriots as well as artists, the Thespians have donated $25 to the Red Cross, $25 to the AWVS, $15 to the War Chest, and bought a $100 war bond this year. Entrance requirements are 100 hours of work connected with play production. A star is awarded for each additional 100 hours. They have an annual banquet every spring. Two common sights warmly remembered by MHS students are their red and black emblems, and the periodical initiations. tclcjZ Closely connected with the Thespians are the stage screws, for without them no play could be produced. Members are manager Fred Lerch, electrician Dale Searight, and Bob Cameron, Walter Kramis, Dick Bacon, Tom Roberts, Dick Webb and Emmett West. Fred Lerch has his Thespian emblem and five stars, representing in all 600 hours of back stage work. These boys build all stage sets, work back stage on assemblies and regulate all lights. The beautiful lighting affects achieved during the Christmas Cantata were due to the work of the stage screws. Theirs is a job that doesn't get the publicity of the actors', nor the prestige of the director's, but is as necessary as either of these. . . . Richard III C7« omoxrova t(i£ Voztd After almost two years on Broadway Tomorrow the World is now being released for amateur production and although royalties were high, Miss Harris believed that it was worth it to have a timely production. It presents a problem which will soon be upon us, that of dealing with Germany after the war. Emil Bruckner, (Duane Searight) a young Nazi, is transplanted to his uncle's American family which he tries to break up by the divide and conquer method. Emil makes a cruel attack on Pat, (Patricia Small) daughter of his uncle, Michael Frame (Bob Farnsworth). In a rage Michael tries to strangle the boy, but is stopped by Leona Richards (Bonnie West), his fiance. He calls the police to take the boy, but Pat and Leona try to dissuade him. Emil is badly confused because Pat, whom he had hurt is now pleading for his sake. Seeing that the boy still has some human emotions, Michael finally consents to let him stay. Other mem- bers of the cast were Laura Lee Miller as Michael Frame's devoted spinster sisler; Gloria DeWaal as Frieda, the German maid; Charles Zottnick as Fred Miller, the Janitor; and A1 Ham, Bill McChesney, and Jack Crocker, school friends of Emil. T££ 2 Starting of! with a bang and continuing the bombardment of laughs through three acts, the Junior play Spring Green was a hilarious success. Tom Evans as T. Newton Todd was wrapped up in his earthworms until he met Eula Hotchkiss (Shirley Burtch), hometown girl remodeled New York Style. Leader of the high school wolf pack, Dunk Doyle, was played by George Lewis, chief objective of two high school cuties—Tony Cassell (Janet Richardson) and Pinkie Ames (Barbara Reynolds). Nina Cassell, mother of Tony and Scootie (Margaret Klingler) was played by Ernestine Benson. Major Michael Todd, father of Newton and childhood pal of Nina was played by Bob Farnsworth. Other members of the cast were Bing Hotchkiss, twin brother of Eula, played by Tom Wickes; Mrs. Rumble, the formidable cook, played by Barbara Lou Kitt; Dr. Blodgett, the biggest worm man in the world, Gerald Diettert; Officer Ryan, the surly neighborhood cop, played by Stanley Stahl; Billie, recruit of Scootie's Salvage Squad, played by Bill Kinkade. Dunk gets himself in hot water by betraying Newton and dumping his worms,in the creek; Tony likes Newton but won't give him any leads for fear of what the gang will think; Nina finds Mike wasn't responsible for the worm tragedy; love triumphs and Newton gets back his worms for the final happy ending. Spring Green was directed by the well qualified Miss Mary V. Harris, of the Drama Department. Solos were: The Lord's Prayer, sung by Pat Hollyoak; O Holy Night ' sung by Nancy Cunningham; and Gesu Bambino, sung by Arline Stahlberg. Solos within the Cantata were sung by Coyne Burnett, Pat Luer, Warren Spears, and Virginia Lee Patton; accompanist was Marjorie Semrau. Janet Richardson played Mary; Ted Gartman, Joseph; Peggy Lou Heavlin, Gabriel. Other participants were Richard Webb, Emmett West, Gerald Diettert, Jim Kirkemo, Jim Scott, Charles Olson, Duane Searight, Katherine Lansing, Elnore Smith, Francis Simons, Joyce Min to, Dorothy Nielsen, Evelyn Wood, Marie Fischer, Shirley Burtch, Emma Jean Matney, Mary Alice Murphey, Marcheta Magee, and Beverly Hughes. Miss Harris and Mr. Anderson were in charge of the program. (Juniata Fulfilling one of the finest M. H. S. traditions the music and drama departments again co-operated to give us their yearly production of the Christmas Pageant under the direction of Miss Harris and Mr. Anderson. Vocal solos and carols sung by the choir were heard at the back of the auditorium while scenes of Bethlehem and the Star in the East were shown on the stage by tableau. Next, in traditional manner, the choir marched to the front with candles, followed by the story of the Nativity in song and pantomine. . . . the ensemble JSand be of value to them throughout life. Competent students continue playing in college and municipal bands after high school graduation, says Mr. Emmett Anderson, music instructor. Consisting of approximately 60 members, the Advanced Band appears between halves at football games, plays in parades, and gives one or two concerts a year. The biggest of these this year was the Spring Concert, produced in co-operation with the A Cappella Choir. A Small Pep Band, picked from the Advanced Band, appears at assemblies and basketball games. The Beginners Band takes students without much musical experience and trains them to be active and competent band members. The main purpose of band teaching is to give the students band experience that will . . . beginners ... mugging f dafijislTa Composed of over fifty members, the A Cappella Choir is a group which gives pleasure for others as well as getting satisfaction out of its own work. Pleasure is not the only benefit derived from the Choir work, however. It gives excellent training in group singing as well as a background of education in music for lifetime enjoyment. Among the A Cappella Choir's programs for the year were the Good Friday celebration at the Wilma Theater, in which participating is an old choir tradition; The Young Peoples' Rally at the Methodist Church; and the Spring Concert, produced in co-operation with the high school band. The inspiring music for the Christmas Cantata was also supplied by the A Cappella Choir. Marjorie Semerau was accompanist for the Cantata. Mr. Emmett Anderson is the director. The feminine touch at football games was supplied by this group of girls who twirl flashy flags to keep up school morale. Headed by Beverly Burgess, the other girls are: Rosemary Heyer, Shirley Cyr, Jackie La Rue, Janice Shaw, Lillith Lueck, Vena Lee Thomson, Mary Kelley, Mary Lee Powell, Joanne Orvis, Gwen Shaw, and Elaine Orvis. Besides performing for football games the girls appeared at basketball games and were active during the basketball tournament. cine I HBciton 'UivixU xi Led by Bonnie Bourquin and Beverly Burgess, the baton twirlers and the flag twirlers have faithfully entertained us at all the football and basketball games. No matter what the weather they were always on hand with their snappy costumes and deft twirling. Many times we were inclined to be too critical when someone dropped a baton or flag, little realizing the dexterity demanded by their difficult routines and the long hours spent in practicing. Yes, the twirlers were really the dudes' delight, so let's give them three cheers. For color, snap, beauty, and style the twirlers cannot be surpassed. . . , baton manipulators . . varsity BUTTE Turkey on the State Association was assured November 2 by a decisive 20-9 victory over the Butte Bulldogs. Line bucks and runs furnished Missoula's fire, and well protected passing cinched the AA conference for the Spartans. Our guards looked well. In fact, the whole line was good. Punts were exceptional. The Bulldogs main threat was their long passes which Missoula squelched to the tune of eight attempts and but one completion. Missoula stole the ball once for a touchdown. Edwards snatched a pass and was away. Good yardage was netted throughout. The Spartans now looked to the runner-up and Class A champion scrap. Chaffin Nash Lewis Walsh Sugg Spears Malcolm McDonald CHAMPIONSHIP Fires, noise, yells, and good school spirit aided the Missoula team to go for the State Championship honors on Domblaser Field November 23. Missoula stopped Billings 27-6. Billings earned a place in the championship game by defeating Anaconda in a 22-20 Jhriller. Missoula bottled up the Billings backs and held the passing down. Through the entire game Missoula shone, but on the second play of the game Billings scored on a misjudged play on Missoula's part. Missoula ran, Missoula passed, and Missoula blocked to show without doubt that Missoula was the Montana team of the year. Missoula placed six men on the all-state eleven: Dell Tyler, end; A1 Lamb, center; Jerry Walterskirchen, guard; Bob Anderson, tackle; Roy Malcolm, half back; and Jack O'Loughlin, fullback. Those placed on the second team were Cunningham, Edwards and Nash, while Kirkemo, Bellusci, and Andrus were given honorable mention. . . . the bonfire O'Loughlin Henri son Durrant Anderson LEWISTON A college club playing clean, hard, fast ball said Principal Hughes of Lewiston, Idaho when speaking of the Spartan team. Lewiston was the first club to invade Missoula by plane and lost the game to an aggressive squad 31-0. Lewiston's light team threatened only once in the second quarter when four tosses were completed for fifty or so yards. Missoula's Malcolm dazzled the Bengals with brilliant cutbacks and line plunges. The Lewiston plays were clean and good football was evident. The Spartans would like to see Lewiston on Dom-blaser Field again. Kirkemo Delaney Walterskirchen Edwards . . . the bench HELENA Power, speed and drive against power, speed and drive is what the Missoula sport fans thought during those days before the Helena-Missoula game. After the game they talked of nothing but how wonderfully Mis soula's aerial attack worked. Captain Jack's arm netted four touchdowns with Tyler on the receiving end. Missoula held down Helena's runners and our blocking gave kickers, passers, and runners the opportunity for scoring. The Spartan score of 49-0 set all the state coaches on end. KALISPELL Two regulars enjoyed the game from the bench while the substitutes drove for four hard touchdowns. By scalping the Braves, Missoula won the title of Western Montana Grid Champions. Excellent football weather prevailed and the Spartans dominated the play. Missoula played good ball in this game in preparation for nipping the Bulldogs. Malcom's dazzling reverses and runs tallied up to a 27-6 victory. Lundberg Rock Kittell Lamb Jourdonnais Miller Tremper Thorsrud . . . the trophy BILLINGS Chinske in dismay; Zahn in a dither. Due to the polio epidemic, our Spartans were to be idle. Anaconda was in quarantine. At last Billings came through and allowed our Spartans to visit Bronc country for the first defeat for Billings by Missoula on the Billings field. Missoula kept its 1943 drive and defense. It looked like another good year for the Spartan Eleven. With the Gold Dust Twins back in the fire, Missoula got its third conference win decisively. The Spartan line and dashing backs made Billings play a hard, fast game, put Missoula surely on its way to the championship, and gave the Spartan the win with 27-6. . . . championship game GREAT FALLS Though the Gold Dust Twins warmed the bench, Missoula set Great Falls off to a bad conference start. Missoula dominated the play throughout except for an aerial assault in the last frame and a brief drive in early play. The Spartan ball handling was not spectacular but did prove effective. The line gave protection for our kicker and held Great Falls back. The Spartans were surprised by the Bisons' strength. Missoula won the game 14-7.

Get extra belts, extra hip, rib, and shoulder pads, a canester of tape, special injury pads, and perhaps an extra jersey. At 6:30 the team comes to the gym ready and prepared to battle the opponent. Suits are passed out to each player. After this helmets and warmups are checked out and the water tank is filled. As the managers check everything for the tenth time, coaches Chinske and Zahn review the team, check plays and wrap ankles. Here we go! Let's go! from the gym. The team goes out to the field to give us laughs, thrills, and breath-taking moments. Coach Buzzetti's famous cry, 1 wuz robbed! tells that some of his accomplished B gridders have been appropriated by Head Coach Chinske for the varsity. The B Bombers lost only to Anaconda Central and Poison, winning from Stevens-ville and Victor. B men are continually moving to the A team to replace injured men, or to give players a rest. Bdtnbers sparkled in games with Kalispell, making good quality runs and cutbacks. Against Lewiston, Idaho, the reserves also gave a good account of themselves. The B team gives a chance for more boys to compete and practice football preparatory to representing MHS in A games. Support of B games is support of the future Spartans. The reserves take punishment also in scrimmage with the varsity, and providing dummies” for the latter. C JootUC Frosh, and those who have not turned out for football before are members of the intrepid C squad. All plays used by the C's are identical or slightly modified versions of those used by the Spartan Varsity. Members are taught blocking, personal contact, and tackling in scrimmage and on the dummies. A new innovation this year was six man football, which the squad played and lost to Alberton twice. This year 120 boys turned out and showed spirit and willingness to fight for MHS. Enthusiasm was high this year. Tender-feet and Waddies turned out in mass to enjoy the envigorating and helpful sport. This year there were no football pants until late in the season. This did not discourage the scrubs. When Coaches Chinske and Buz zetti asked them to bring old overalls to play in, they responded by appearing next day with cords, overalls, and dress pants rolled to the knees. The shortage also was noticed in the lack of rib pads. As the name implies, these pads protect the lower ribs. If the blocking is done properly the ribs may be injured. The scrubs complained about the lack of protection but we did not notice anyone dropping out of football. These boys who were out to play this year want to learn the game right. They will, with their enthusiasm, make the future grid stars. You will see them on the high school, university, and professional fields. These boys will really play the game. The ranch is right proud of the lads! Back row: Gilbert. Alkire. Johnson. Farabaugh, Diederichs, Galen, Dean. Kattelus, Stelling, Murphy. Knuchel. Front row: LaFrinire.

Purdy Brennan Nash Cope Carlson Eaheart ANACONDA The fast break again mystified the Copperheads as the Missoula boys broke and shot their way to a 57 to 37 victory over the Anaconda team. The squad clicked, Brennan drove, Cope tipped them in and hooked a few, and all others shot with surprising accuracy. One could see the Spartans were out for the game and all who got in played well. Cope and Brennan led for Missoula while Monaco and Gallagher sparked for Anaconda. After eleven straight wins, the shoe was on the other foot. In a return game at the Smelter City, the Spartans lost 34 to 39, with ineffective passing and cold shots. Missoula was without the spark of previous games, while the Copperheads used a new break and passed the ball to Cordial and Gallagher in the pivot posts, who made 15 and 14 points, respectively. Coach Chinske Manager Reed Anderson Mowbray Hightower Walsh Kittell GREAT FALLS Enraged al the loss to Anaconda on the previous night, the Spartans played winning ball to take Great Falls 61 to 43. It was one of the locals' toughter games, but passing in the second quarter won for Missoula. The Bisons played hard ball and tried desperately to win. Brennan, Nash, and Cope led scoring for Missoula, while Bauer and Sel-stead shone for the Bisons. With the second string and one regular starting at Great Falls, the Spartans put on a much better show than they gave at Havre the night before. Missoula tamed the Bisons 55 to 41 with good shooting and all around hustling. Nash with 15, and captain Brennan with 12 led the Missoula attack. ’A team HAVRE BUTTE In a nip-and-tuck fray ending 11 all at the half, Missoula defeated Havre 44 to 20, with Glen Gordon the Blue Ponies' leading scorer, and Cope contributing most for Missoula. In the next to last game of the season the Spartans suffered their worst defeat from the Havre Blue Ponies by a 36 to 54 score. The locals started well, but lost their speed to trail all the way. Gordon took scoring honors fcr Havre with 23 points, while Captain Wes Brennan, Missoula, led the local quint. The Spartans gave Butte Central the conference title by losing three times. Breaking their own new scoring record of 63 points, Missoula overwhelmed the Gallatin Hawks 76 to 35. Proving decisive were a fast break and accurate shooting. Nash and Brennan led Missoula scorers, while Olson was top man for the Hawks. Walsh, Missoula sub, shone with accurate shots. Missoula got its eighth straight win from the Gallatin Hawks 48 to 28—with smooth floorwork in the first and fourth periods. The Bozeman squad played consistent ball throughout. In a dazzling second quarter spurt, Missoula's evenly matched team licked the fast Butte Bulldogs 49 to 42. Burly Salo, push shot expert and Welsh led scoring for Butte, while every Spartan participated in running up Missoula's 49 points. Cope and Eahart shared scoring honors on the Butte floor when Missoula whipped the Purples 59 to 38. Cope was fouled many times, and gift shots awarded the Spartans helped boost their tally. B Team KALISPELL Missoula reserves traveled to win 37 to 17 to start their victorious season with a flourish. In a return game the Kalispell reserves again lost to the B Bombers 43-28. Our Bombers are going places this season. BUTTE Missoula B won again! Winning from the Butte reserves 39-21, Missoula B kept up their winning streaks by winning on the Bs' home court. In Butte again the Bs won 39-29 from the Butte reserves. Coach Buzzetti MISSION In a preliminary to the Glasgow game B tossers tumbled Mission 42-8. Mission was unaccustomed to the baskets in our gym, and this was partly responsible for their defeat. In a second game, Missoula Bs dumped Mission 33-23. DE MOLAY A strong aggressive De Molay quintet engaged the Missoula Bs to give them one of their two defeats 22-19. The local De Molay hit constantly while our boys hit, but failed to sink the many free shots that would have cinched us the game. In a return match the Bs stung the Melita squad 36-18. Avenging the previous defeat was our determination to put this one in the books. Bs started slow (the score at the first quarter was 3-1) but soon piled up a good lead to win from the hustling De Molay club. DRUMMOND No point was scored until five minutes of the quarter had passed. Bs then went to town against Drummond for a 41-23 score against them. Bill Nash and Jim Kittell showed precise shooting for the Bombers while Conn was the Drummond pacemaker. In a second game Drummond bowed to the Bs 35-20. Frosh basketball candidates picked by Coach Buz-zetti make up the C squad. Members are entitled to chances at playing with the 'B squad or with the varsity, and some members show talent early. This was proved when Bill Nash, freshman advanced to the B squad, and suited up for several A games. c L UUcl The Tenderfeet licked Superior 42-37 and 42-21, and trounced French town 38 to 33. Learning fundamentals of the game and providing training material for Boss Ed Chinske is the purpose of the squad. One practice a week is devoted to fundamentals, the other to scrimmage. The squad is urged to play in intramural games and in the Ki-wanis league. They practice what Buzz preaches. ASTRP Let's see how good we are said Coach Chinske as he scheduled conditioning games with the ASTRP and the Fort Missoula ca-saba squad. In pre-season competition the Spartans split 2 games each with the ASTRP and the Fort Hoopsters. Later in the season, Missoula won from Fort Missoula but were defeated by Kalispell in a non conference tilt. FLATHEAD Missoula jumped off to a roaring start by dumping Flathead Braves 44-30. A few details were yet to be ironed out, but it looked like a prosperous season from now on. The return game in Missoula with the Braves was the sixth straight win for the Spartans, as Kalispell bowed to the tune of 38 to 59. Cope and Carlson led the Crinskemen with 23 and 17 points, respectively. GLASGOW With a sizzling fast break the Spartans trounced the Glasgow Highlanders 63 to 28 to set a new scoring record for MHS basketball teams. Super passing proved the decisive factor. • • • Assistant Soroos • • • 1945 Scpuad Hightower. Colville. Cuplin, Cope, Brennan. Kirkemo. Doyle, S. Cunningham. Lamb. Nash.

Captain Nash Handicapped by snow, hail, wind, and the other elements, Coach Stegner's intrepid group of heroes practiced as best they could for the coming season. Not much was done with any event as the weather did not permit much; the javelin was not thrown till five days before the first meet of the season. It was decided by the Montana Board of Control that the Interscholastic would be held this year, but the O.D.T. banned all but the trackmeet itself. It was held the 11th and 12th of May. Several other meets were held as conditioning meets for the State Interscholastic. Lead by Captain Gus Nash the track squad prospered. Others from last year's squad were: Kittell, mile; Saylor, pole vault; Malcolm, javelin and hurdle; Andrus, sprints and hurdles; Dutton, broad jump; Hightower, sprints and hurdles; Kirkemo, shot and discus; Bellusci, javelin; Cope, high jump and javelin; Brennan, dash; McChesney, mile; S. Cunningham, weights; Lamb, weiqhts; O'-Loughlin, weights and javelin; Miller, pole vault; Colville, mile; Jourdonnaise, hurdles. On April 21, although playing against a stiff wind Spartan cindermen won a trian gular meet from Helena, Kalispell to the tune of Missoula, 711 ;t and Kalispell 61 ,-s- Missoula won shot put, discus (Kirkemo), low hurdles (Malcolm), high jump (Nash and Cope), broad jump (Brennen), mile run, half mile (Kittell) and the two frosh races, joe Brennan of Helena won high scoring honors with 11 points, followed by Kirkemo and Kittell from the Spartan congregation. The annual Butte-Missoula field and track meet turned out to be another win for our boys. The first places in the meet were won by Kirkemo, shotput; Kittell, mile run; Nash, 440 yard dash; Cope, javelin; Brennan, broad jump; and Kittell, the half mile. Wes Brennan pulled a tendon in this meet thus eliminating a dangerous contender in the Interscholastic. All this added up to 73 2 3 points for Missoula High and 481,;t points for the Butte Bulldogs. On to Helena! ... A frosh does it . . . Miller tops it Spartans traveling to Helena May 4, won the Helena relay! As this was not a regular track meet points were not counted but if they were Missoula would have won. The Spartans won the two mile relay, medley, frosh medley, frosh 100 yd. dash, 120 yard high hurdles, shot put, broad jump (a tie between Brennan, Helena and O'Loughlin. Missoula), discus and the high jump. Freshmen showed excellent spirit and They've got what it takes. So watch our frosh a year or so from now. With weather cool, a good track, and a large crowd of spectators the Spartans again took the State Championship at the annual interscholastic meet May 11 and 12. Kittell broke the existing state record in the mile run and Welch of Bu'.te tied the record in high hurdles. Kittell's time was 4 minutes 27.6 seconds while Welch ran the hurdles in 16.2 seconds. . . .

And so ends a series of successful rodeos for the Bitter Root Dude Ranch. In the ranch's English corrals the grammar studied tends to give some hands a headache, it would seem. The absorbing study of chemistry keeps students happy in spite of bad smells and minor explosions. English classics in a pleasant room makes for an all round interesting class. Skill learned in the farm shop will be a boon to all young ranch hands who will be building their own corrals. The quiet, lulling rustle of paper and books in study hall is inducive to sleep as well as study. Hands on the ranch enjoy the general science class with charts and diagrams for student use. Turning out soap carvings, original paintings and other works of art, the art class is tremendously enjoyed by all hands in the art corrals. A busy hum always comes from the chemistry lab, where the hands are happily engaged in discovering what sort of compounds give what reaction. They seem totally unaware of the odors created. Cramming food with hands tied and lying on one's stomach is the feat accomplished by Thespian initiates. Unvarnished truth and social wisdom is the diet fed to the hands in Mr. Kelley's social studies classes. The clack, clack of typewriters fills the typing room as hands peck away at learning to type. Getting off to a good start, the ambitious Top Hands elected good natured, industrious Jack Young as their president. To back Jack up in his all important job, Earl Holzknecht, vice-president and Doris Delaney, secretary-treasurer were also chosen. Under the sponsorship of Miss Gertrude Clark, the senior council; June Olson, Harriet Haines, Katy Lou Shallenberger, Virginia Patten, Peggy Heavlin, Gerald Diettert, and Marguerite Bean, did their share of the good work. Oh, what fun! Just being in full command of the place, knowing all the ropes, lording it over, and making the dudes feel as green as possible. Yes, that's what these Top Hands had been anxiously awaiting, and they found it all it was cracked up to be— and more so. In order for any class to be a success it must have its leaders. Among the Top Hands were many students who became outstanding and helped the class to keep on its toes. There are a few faces that became pretty familiar and famous for their many accomplishments. Gene Kramer, held a prominent position as president of the Student Association. Needless to say he helped lead the school through a never-to-be forgotten year. Chosen by all the girls to be their leader, Audrey Kramis, proving her worth, became Girls' Club president. One outstanding student in the minds of all is Jack O'Loughlin who led the Spartan team through a glorious football season to come out on top as state champs. Also prominent in the field of sports is Captain Wes Brennan of the basketball squad, who deserves credit where credit is due. Voted to be the head of the M Club, Jerry Walter-skirchen helped the club to maintain its traditional prestige as an honorary organization for high school athletes. The girls choice for their sports leader was Wanda Mourar, president of GAA. Eunice Hysen was chosen by the senior girls and a vote of the teachers as the DAR girl from MHS. Martha Staley became Pep Club prexy, a job that takes just exactly what the name implies. Congratulations are in order for all the members for boosting the school spirit to a maximum. Another club which works heartily to keep the entertainment lively with dramatic presentations, is the Thespians, with Bob Farnsworth as their experienced head. Incidentally, two other seniors did much with their entertaining, Jim Kirkemo with his tricks of magic, and Hal Edwards with his boogie woogie tunes, not only for contributing in our own school assemblies, but for performing in the traveling show of the Sixth War Loan drive to promote bond sales. Although the Student Federalists is a comparatively new club, it has rapidly gained in members and importance. To the national convention of Student Federalists in Chicago Jack Murray and Barbara Haines were sent as senior delegates to represent our school. Numerous names come to the limelight in the many journalistic groups of school. Some of these students have already been mentioned, but here are a few others that deserve talking about. On the list is Don Weston, president of Quill and Scroll, international honor society for high school journalists. Jean Glenn and Laila Wanda Mc-Greal were the capable co-editors of the second semester Konah. Gerald Diettert, as one of the senior editors, helped to make the Kopee, MHS literary magazine, a success. Emmett West and Ernestine Benson took on the job of the year, editing the Bitter Root. Honorable mention should go to home room 117, headed by Miss Mary V. Harris, for managing to have more than their share of the outstanding seniors and also for coming out on top in more contests and drives than any other senior home room. Looking back four extremely short years, jam-packed with fun and memories that will never leave, the Top Hands have reached their destination. Leaving the school for good brings the unhappy realization that there will be no more gay times at the Rec, big noise rallies that rock all Missoula, trips to out of town games, blue permits, making smells in chemistry. Proms, exciting football and basketball games, track meets, Konahs, assignments to get, or just any of the things that hold the true meaning of school. The time has come to shake hands with all the old cronies and teachers that have been such a big help, for its the last round-up in MHS. It's with no few regrets you leave, but the wide open spaces are yours to conquer and the future to live. . . . the fabulous Room 117 MARYLEE ALBERT Library Staff 3; Stamp Salesman 3. 4.

Katherine Lansing DAVID FREEMAN President MARILYN KELSON Vice President SHIRLEY LEE Secretary . . . class council FLORENCE KEETON Sponsor Getting a little taste of power, the Wranglers really went all out to help make this the biggest year yet. Their energetic president, Dave Freeman, backed by vice-president, Marilyn Kelson, and secretary-treasurer, Shirley Lee, led the Wranglers for a year of very successful activities. Because of difficulties brought on by the war, some of their regular activities had to be cut out but those that they did have were occasions to be remembered. They took the spotlight at the first of the year with a firey campaign for class officers; interest on both sides being very high. But after a period of heated debate they •quickly settled down to a spirit of successful cooperation. The active Junior Council, composed of Dave Freeman, Marilyn Kelson, Shirley Lee, Pat Bouchard, Eugene Hazelhurst, Charles Preuninger, Elnore Smith, Mary Ella Lyon, and Veryl Proebstel, soon was enlisting the aid of other classmates to make and sell Junior Hot Dogs. Sold just when we were all getting thoroughly chilled at a thrilling football game, those piping hot hot-dogs were certainly welcome. The Wranglers weren't the only ones who were sorry when meat rationing prevented their selling at the basketball games, too. Heading the list of activities held to raise money for the Junior Prom was the very successful class play Spring Green. Although the cast was taken from all classes two Wranglers were outstanding in it: Tom Wickes, and Margaret Klingler. Everyone acclaimed this play one of the most hilarious in years. Next on their list of entertainment were the several dances they held throughout the year. First came an after game dance in January; then on April 6 came their Spring Dance which everyone enjoyed greatly. Heading all their events was the much awaited Junior Prom. Always one of the loveliest dances of the year, this year's was especially outstanding. Nothing was lacking in the way of music, decorations, or good times. New among the activities of the Wranglers this year was an assembly composed entirely of talent from their class. Since this was one of the most interesting assemblies of the year we hope it will be a continued feature for the Wranglers. The Wranglers have also done their share of other activities by contributing talent to several pep assemblies and supporting the various drives held throughout the year for war bonds. Red Cross or March of Dimes. Outstanding among individual Wranglers have been those students making the high honor roll: Clarence Forseth, Helen King, and Donna Jean Carmean. Helping to push the sale of war bonds and stamps were the Wranglers' candidates for Victory Queen: Betty Ann Beaman and Marilyn Kelson. Clarence Forseth and Drucilla Hazelhurst also deserve credit for the faithful work they have done in the stamp office all year. Dorothy Nielson's poem Into the Wind which was accepted by the National High School Poetry Association has made her outstanding among her classmates. Another Wrangler deserving mention is Bob Rolfson, one of the Student Federalist delegates to the Chicago Convention this year. With three years of fun and experience behind them and with enthusiastic and active class members, the Wranglers are ready and eager to take over the leadership of the ranch next year. The many fine athletes among them will keep them prominent in sports; scholastically their students will bring them a goodly share of honors and as far as fun and frivolity are concerned the enthusiasm of the whole class will take care of that. Yes, this has been an interesting and exciting year for the Wranglers but we expect next year will be even more so. So best of luck to you in everything you do. . . , the President pays his bet Adams W.

All the hands salute these two Wranglers! Donna Joan Carmean Clarence Foreeth GRACE RYON sponsor BARBARA GALEN Secretary • . . class council EVERETT CHAFFIN President JAMES SCOTT Vice President Forsaking the title of tenderfoot, the wad-dies proudly and efficiently filled their new position as sophomores. Everett Chaffin, elected president by his class at the first of the year, was called into the service. Jim Scott, former vice-president, capably stepped into his shoes, helping the class to maintain its already, outstanding record. Barbara Galen continued her job as secretary-treasurer. Miss Marie Nagovsky, soon after undertaking the sponsorship of the class, left the teaching staff of MHS for Purdue University, where she is now instructing. Even after the loss of two of their leaders, the waddies kept on plugging, with the help of Miss Grace Ryon, who took over the sponsorship. Sophomore council was composed of many industrious members: Lawrence Forseth, Shirley Cyr, Mary Kelly, Dorothy Tilzy, Ada Du-fresne, Betty Ann Delaney, Merthyl Ferguson, and Bill Dancettet. Distinguishing themselves in numerous ways, the school as a whole owes much to the waddies for their enthusiasm and school spirit in everything that was undertaken by them. Their scholastic standing was unsurpassed by any other class. Even as tender tenderfeet they achieved recognition for their superior capacities. Breaking all records, the waddies up-to-date have led the honor rolls seven consecutive times. Three sophomore students who have consistently been on the high honor roll their second year are Harriet Ely, Betty Ruth Baldwin, and Janet Merrill. Numerous other students have led their class in activities. Two students who are very much responsible for the degree that the student body stretches its vocal cords cheering the boys on at games, are Yvonne Kind and John Staley, cheerleaders. Arlene Stahlberg, who was crowned queen of the Sixth War Loan contest on the basis of stamp sales, contributed her super salesman- ship powers to the war effort. Chosen by her fellow home economics students to be the Home Ec Club president was Ruth Heinrich. Diane Dragstedt was elected to the position of sophomore Kopee editor. Dallas Reed became sports editor of the Bitter Root, and also headed the writing committee for the sophomore assembly. All the waddies were grieved to lose a fellow student, Dorothy Carlson, who passed away during the school year. Dorothy's vivacious, friendly manner made her popular with all. She was noted for her leadership, not only among her own classmates, but by the whole school. Among the activities of the class was the traditional Frosh-Soph dance at the beginning of the school year, given to help the freshmen get acquainted. Winding up the year's schedule was an entertaining assembly featuring many of our talented waddies. . . . home ec prexy Abbey Anderson Archibald Armstrong Ariose Ashenbrenner Avery Batley Barclay Barkley Bartlett Bash Bauer Baldwin Beare Benedick Brewin Brock Brown Bryant Carroll Chaffin Christian Clark Cook Cooney Cox Crist Daniels Delaney DeMott Dickinson Armstrong Bailey Bauer Bennett Blackie Booth Borgs tede Bugli Bulen Burgess Cameron Clark Clemence Clinking beard Coates Crocker Cron Cyr Daigle Ditty Doucette Drag8tedt Dragstedt A.

Schlappy F. Wilkerson Inexperienced as they are, the Tenderfeet have kept up their end of the ranch work. In the early fall they got off to a flying start by showing up the more experienced hands by being the first to win the Pep Jug in the assembly. Green as they were they confidently expected to live up to their good name in the noise parade before the Thanksgiving game. They worked diligently to collect what seemed to them the noisiest noise-makers in all the Wild West. In the parade they pounded, banged, screamed, and yelled so loud that they couldn't even hear the noise made by their competitors, the Wad-dies. In spite of all the efforts, they were outdone by the Waddies who had made even more noise. Being good sports, they promptly elected officers; and the next day, true to their bargain, Allan Andrus, president, bravely appeared in a skirt. Now having regular officers, who were Allan Andrus, president; Ann Stone vice-president; and Patricia Small, secretary-treasurer, they were ready to start to work at showing the rest of us that they weren't as bad as everyone claimed. On looking over various individuals in the Tenderfoot class we see great things in store for the ranch's future. For the Thespians there are Pat Small and Duane Searight who both did so exceptionally well in the fall production Tomorrow the World. In the Victory Queen contest Loreen Cherry came before us as one of the candidates with Pat Small distinguishing herself again as the other freshman candidate. Then there was the group that first won recognition by leading their class in the freshman handbook quiz; Doris Peterson, June Engebretson, Elaine Anderson, Leo Jette, Nanette Newport, Joan Orvis, Catherine Baron, Eileen Typer, Patricia Angle, John Stahlberg, and Irene Stritch. On the high honor roll among the Tenderfeet have been Bruce Bachman, Evelyn Davis, Eldon Deittert, Anne Lukens, and Bill Reynolds. And from what we've heard already classes for several years are going to be thrilled by Nancy Cunningham's voice. As a part of the year's work for the Tenderfeet, the MHS on the side of Mount Jumbo was given its coat of whitewash. Water was carried from the irrigation ditch to the letters and was there mixed with lime. And a right fine job, the Tenderfeet did! The letters then shown clear and clean above the town. A picture of the painting process was taken by Tenderfoot Harry Noel and appeared in The Scholastic Roto. The Ranch expects great things from the Tenderfeet. ... they paint the M Abbey Albert Alkire Allan Anderson J. Anderson L.

HUNT Assistant Principal MISS NEVA COPELAND Dean of Girls D ztcfiam Alter thirty-three years loyally devoted to guiding the strenuous ranch life, Mr. Ket-cham is leaving his post as head boss of MHS. His achievements here have been so outstanding that our regret is deep as we see him leave, and our pride great when we say he has been our leader for so long. He has built up our school from a small insignificant one to one of the finest in the Northwest. His whole life has been centered about one thing: the improvement of educational facilities for his students. The problems to be faced when he came here in 1912 were many and varied and would have discouraged a man less devoted to his ideal, but Mr. Ketcham met them with vision and unfailing courage. Finding that his first problem was an inadequate faculty, he persuaded two of his finest teachers in Kalispell, where he had formerly been principal, to come here with him. Always careful to chose the best qualified teachers available, he inspired them to strive to build character and a high standard of scholarship in the students. Many members of the faculty, loyal to the school, have stayed on though often they have had inducements to change to other schools. His influence upon the students has been just as great. Discipline of the 256 students had been rather lax; for example, one night that first year someone got into the school and strewed books all over the building. By taking a personal interest in the students' problems and by encouraging extra-curricular activities, Mr. Ketcham has urged each student to take an active part in wholesome school life so that little interest would be left for misdemeanors. He has helped many students out of difficulties, often trusting them long after others had ceased and almost always being repaid for his efforts by the fine qualities of character instilled in the students. He has always insisted on honesty and fair play in all school activities. There is seldom a time when one of MHS's many distinguished graduates, returning to Missoula for a visit, fails to hunt up Mr. Ketcham for a friendly chat. All students leave the school richer for having felt his influence. In order to give students real responsibility and to integrate all of the school acti-ties into a harmonious whole, he always strove for cooperation between the students and the teachers. The work done by the office and library squads, students in the nurses office, and the monitors has relieved harrassed teachers and given students a share in the management of their school. In 1912, Mr. Ketcham found the building entirely inadequate for the needs of a growing school. One large room served as both an assembly and study hall. There was no laboratory equipment for any of the sciences nor special facilities such as a library or maps provided for other classes, and there was no gym for physical activities. With the cooperation of the school board, the taxpayers, and the faculty, Mr. Ketcham has succeeded in equipping all departments with the most modern facilities: special laboratories, an outstanding library, and two well equipped gyms for an expanding athletic program. This has been done despite complete loss of building and all furnishings in the fire of 1931. Mr. Ketcham has taken an active interest in service organizations, community welfare and church work. In this field Mrs. Ketcham has been an able representative for the high school through her participation in many women's organizations. Because they respected his judgment, the members of the school board and of the community have willingly supported Mr. Ketcham in school activities and needs. High school students have many contacts with community life. Educationally minded groups all over the country have recognized Mr. Ketcham's ability by awarding him personal honors and by many honors to the school. He has been president of the MEA for this district and for many years the high school member of the Montana Commmission for the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and a frequent representative of Montana high schools at the annual meeting of the association in Chicago. High standards are maintained in the whole school so that it is accredited by the North Central Association for college entrance. Through the excellent quality of students' work MHS has received many honors in special subjects such as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, and the International Honor Rating given to the Konah. Other recognitions have come in the form of scholarships from such outstanding universities as Yale, Cornell, Mills, and Smith. While others have sought personal fame, Mr. Ketcham has found happiness in the achievements of his students. The high standards and enviable position he has gained for MHS are a challenge for us and his successor to maintain. We greatly appreciate his untiring efforts for our educational welfare, and hope that in his new associations and less arduous life he will find as much satisfaction as we have had in our work with him. Our best wishes go with you, Mr. Ketcham. Adams E. Anderson S. Anderson Bartholomew Classes in agriculture are conducted by Mr. Wayne Adams. A new member of the faculty this year, he has rapidly gained many new friends among the teachers and his pupils. Summer is eagerly looked forward to by Mr. Adams when he can relax in the out-of-doors, or use his rod and reel to pull in numerous catches. Mr. Emmet Anderson, familiarly called Andy by all, is responsible for the stirring music of MHS's renowned band. His directing talents are displayed in the A Cap-pella Choir and the presentation of an annual concert given in the spring for the towns people. His chief enjoyment, besides music, is fishing, which he claims has been sadly cut by gas rationing. Mrs. Emmet Anderson is the wife of Andy and her day's routine consists of watching over study halls during the morning periods. Art is her hobby and she finds pleasure in painting pastel water colors. Teaching his talented pupils the fundamentals of art is the joy and work of Mr. C. B. Bartholomew, or Bart, as he is fondly known. Giving inspiration and advice to this year's annual staff was a new job undertaken this year. Big feasts behind locked doors highlight his class periods now and then. He finds pleasure in reeling in trout from cool streams. Instructing interested students in the Spanish language is the chief job done by Miss Violet M. Boileau. Much is owed to her work in promoting the PASF to an outstanding organization in the past few years. Thinks work in a defense factory fun and fascinating. Miss Agnes Brown, former history teacher, now holds classes in biology. She claims she enjoys her new classes immensely and finds the change refreshing, but misses her old history classes and interesting political discussions. She has many outside interests such as golf, knitting and reading, but little time in which to do them. Mr. Edward Buzzetti is coach of his famous B football squad, Buzz's Bombers. In preinduction gym courses he builds up more muscle bound males and prepares them for the service. Two classes in history 6 are also under his supervision. Head football and basketball coach is Mr. Edward Chinske. His energetic abilities and personality helped to drive the Spartans throughout a successful year to come out as state football champs. He teaches freshmen and sophomore gym classes. Naturally he is a lover of all sports and many of his spare hours are spent on the green, developing his golfing skill. Boileau Brown Buzzetti Chinske Clark Craiah«ad Davis Dawes As head of the mathematics department Miss Gertrude Clark expounds the strange and often terrifying theories of trigonometry and calculus. As senior sponsor she meets regularly with the senior council to guide that class in its many activities. Miss Katherine Craighead appreciates wit, and her quick smile and ready laugh lightens the hours spent in her English classes by juniors and seniors. Tennis is her favorite sport. She hopes to one day revisit Old England. When not supervising his boys in shop work, Mr. Ed Davis may be found at work with his sharpshooters in the Rifle Club. He enjoys skiing, hunting, and pursuing the finny denizens of our mountain streams. Holding classes in the new addition, Miss Edith Dawes leads her students through their English studies. Her enthusiasm is reflected in the work of her students. Vacation finds her reading, traveling, enjoying her music, or working in a defense industry. Mr. Lester Ennis, the mentor of the audacious home room A200, instructs students in drafting and architectural drawing. His spare moments are divided between fishing, hunting, and carving in wood. His carvings are familiar among the students. Miss Kathryn Geiger maintains peace and quiet in the library. Her willingness to help students find just the book they want is a boon to everyone. After the war she wishes to travel, and at present she contents herself with reading. Listening to the pecking of forty typewriters every day does not affect Mrs. Carrie Gilham in the least. Besides typing, she teaches advanced shorthand to seniors. Reading and travel are her extracurricular interests. The dramatic successes seen upon our high school stage are directly due to the leadership of Miss Mary V. Harris. The beauty of The Adoration is brought out under her direction in the Christmas cantata. Reading and travel are her out-of-school interests. Ennis Geiqer Gilham Harris Jacobsen Keeton Kelley Linn Miss Edna Jacobsen has classes in elementary and advanced geometry. Students find her quiet, pleasant manner effective. Her indoor hobby is reading, but many of her spare moments are satisfied in enjoying the wide open spaces, riding and hiking near her ranch home. Every day is a busy day for Mrs. Florence Keeton, head of the commercial department. Under her guidance future office workers learn the intricacies of success in business. She is also responsible for the pep and activities of the junior class. Her pride lies in the blossoms and plants that cheer her classroom. Never a dull moment in Mr. Frank Kelley's social science classes, where his philosophy and theories of democracy are the high lights. He firmly believes nothing is better for the weary mind and body than a good cup of coffee. The man behind the headline is Mr. John Linn who sees to it that there is a Konah every Friday. When not busy with the school paper he devotes much time to the Kopee and to Quill and Scroll. Bandaging skinned elbows, easing toothaches and tummy aches is the task of Miss Leila McDonald, our school nurse. She is always willing to help in the tiniest of ailments. Her smile is a tonic for every student. Miss Edna Mann heads the social science studies. Her zeal for American history and current events is reflected by the students in her classes. Under her leadership the Student Federalists were organized and have taken active part in national affairs. Seeing to it that no weird or horrible concoctions are mixed by too-eager students, Mr. Carroll Miller holds sway in the chemistry laboratory. Having numerous outside interests, his spare time is occupied when possible with fishing and hunting. Leaving regret among all who knew her. Miss Marie Nagovsky departed for Purdue University as an instructor at mid-year. She was with us in the home economics department for three years. McDonald Mann Miller Naaovekv Pritchard Robson Head of the English department is Miss Lyle M. Noble, whose subtle humor is radiated in all her grammar and literature classes. As literary advisor, one of her proudest achievements is a good Kopee. She enjoys reading, especially drama and poetry, encourages her pupils to write poetic inspirations and likes originality in their writing. Mr. Millard E. Peterson, well known as Pete , instructs classes in biology to sophomore boys and girls. His biological abilities are tended toward his garden where he can often be seen digging and caring for his flowers. Painting and music are also among his list of hobbies. Girls' gym instructor is Mrs. Irma Pritchard. Under her supervision the girls' tumbling team performed at many of the basketball games this year, proving their skill as acrobats and hers as a teacher. Mrs. Pritchard taught at MHS previously and returned this year to resume her teaching. Her favorite sports are swimming and badminton. Miss Helen Robson can be seen the first thing in the morning industriously taking care of office detail and continuing all day up until and past closing time at night. Her charming personality is added to her worth and secretarial abilities. Her ire can, however, be much aroused by having to issue duplicate permits to forgetful students. She takes an active interest in art and handiwork. Miss Grace Ryon likes teaching her freshmen Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and her sophomore English classes, modem poetry. Having already traveled extensively, she is considering continuing as a post-war plan. Her leisure hours are now being spent in completing some of Van Loon's famous books. Miss Agnes Scott, English teacher, has her classes filled with interested sophomores and juniors. As all her present and past students well know, gum chewing, a pet peeve, is banned in her classes. She claims she has little spare time, but reads a great deal and is fond of travel. Adding his might to the social science department is Mr. Ralph Soroos. who teaches various classes in history. He helps train the boys for track, being assistant track coach. Having an interest in all sports, he specializes in tennis. Widely known for his reputation as an experienced and capable track coach is Mr. Guy T. Stegner. Training hopefuls to place high in the Interscholastic Meets is an old story to him. He also instructs classes in bookkeeping and typing. Like most men he likes fishing and also takes a keen interest in a good bridge game. Byon Scott Soroos Steaner SuCKJ Sweannaen Wadell Williams Mr. A. I. Sugg was welcomed back on the faculty, after a temporary leave of absence which he spent in the Army. He spends much of his time sponsoring the Debate Club, which he has recently re-established. Much of his leisure is taken up by keeping up on current affairs and problems of the world, and listening to the radio. English teacher, Miss Hazel Swearingen, is noted for her keen wit and good humor which add to the pleasantness of her classes. Her hobbies are knitting, her garden, and new recipes. Vacation time finds her at her cabin at Placid Lake, hiking and relaxing. As a teacher of Latin, Miss Elsie Wadell builds up a constructive foundation for students in foreign language, and in our own English language as well. She also teaches classes in commercial geography. She enjoys the beauties of nature, and especially likes birds, her hobby. Girls realizing the true value of knowing how to cook and sew are taught by Miss Zoe Williams, home economics instructor. Many other phases of the work are taken up in the long awaited dream of Miss Williams, an adequate and up-to-date department to work in. She sponsors the Home Economics Club, and likes to practice improving her bowling skill in her spare hours. Versatile Mr. Paul E. Wilson teaches physics, algebra, and general science to students. He holds evening classes teach- ing boys who plan to take the radar tests the fundamentals of radar, and is sponsor of the Radio Club. His favorite diversion, traveling in his car, is now but a post-war dream. World and American history instructor is Mr. Clifton B. Worthen. He is responsible for obtaining the films and running the projector for all movies presented either in separate classes or to the student body at large. Outside of school his energies are put to work collecting rare stamps and increasing his knowledge of Montana history, a favorite subject. Energetic and friendly, Mr. Henry L. Zahn has numerous positions. He teaches classes in general science, aeronautics and algebra. He has many community interests and is widely known for his work with different organizations. He also helps coach the Spartan football line, and referees at games. Fishing and hunting are two of his favorite sports. Miss Foley teaches freshman English and dominates study halls. She collects antiques and works in her garden in her extra time. Mrs. Voget instructs classes in junior business. She is the outdoor type and enjoys hiking or riding her bicycle in pleasant weather. Home economics teacher is Mrs. Bradley, who is taking Miss Nagovsky's position. She says her spare time outside of school is spent in caring for her home and baby. Wilson Worthen Zahn cdiiizcl c fandi. Led by Charley Mothka, the maintenance corps of Missoula High is most efficient in keeping the ranch running smoothly. The appearance of the building and the comfort of the dudes depends upon this group of men. They are always happy to help us with our parties. When one of our chairs breaks down or a lamp bulb bums out we ask Charley or one of his men to help us. Something spilled is immediately taken care of. A jammed locker is forced open by the capable hands of one who knows how. An ill Tenderfoot is carefully carried to the nurse's office. Many and varied are the services Charles Mothka rendered to the ranch by this group of men. Although Clem Henry is not pictured here, we cannot overlook his services in keeping the fires going and us warm. To these men we affectionately dedicate this page. x Burreson Zottnick Shupe Williams . . .
