teachers to be interviewed by the
Tamarack is Donald Roberts, the
new mathematics teacher. Since

er in any subject, | was eager to
interview him, So one day | cor
nered him and found out all that
| could about him. Mr.. Roberts
told me that he attended the Mon
tana State Normal and also took a
years graduate work at the Uni
.versity of Washington. Before he

piled that he liked the students very
well and that their school spirit IS
good. He also likes the town of
Libby very much.

EDITORIAL
Let's Have Bigger and
BETTER Assemblies

Friday afternoon during the last
period the entire high school met
in the assembly for student forum.
The subject of this particular for
UNI being concerned with the pur-
pose of the seniors to edit an an
nual.
These assemblies, held with a
certain amount of regularity, would
be still another form of the much
discussed and SO very popular stu
dent government.
AT an assembly of this sort, the
students and faculty meet on more
or less equal footing with opinions
being expressed freely and unre-
served by both. Because of their
freedom of expression and because
the ideas proffered are varied and
numerous, great deal can be ac
comphshed in a short period of
time
There are numerous ways in a
small high school such as ours a
which student government may be
put into effective use. That is, with
out our high school being formally
organized as a self-governing body
and assuming burdensome ends,
more people must take active part
in the discussions.
Let's work together, collectively,
for the things we want effected.
Let's cooperate, if need. compro-
mise-but at any rate, let's have
more and better assemblies to de-
eide the problem confronting us as
a student body.

Seniors Will Sponsor Annual

This year there has been quite a
lot OF discussion about the proposed
annual. In q meeting both sides
were heard from, but as o whole
the school was in favor of the an
nual. Mr. Robertson pointed out
that it would cost each pupil no
more than l5c per school month and
surely it would be worth it. This
annual will contain reports OF each
OF the clubs and pictures OF each
class and organization. Pointing out
that this year the annual will be
the whole schools creation, the SEN
iors think that, if every one helps,
the annual will be something of
which everyone will be proud.

The teams trotted out on the field
and, after the receiver was down in
Livingston territory, Livingston having
the ball, Davis came back out of the
line, heaved a long toss 10 Arthur
Johnson, quarter, and the astonished
Butte fans saw forward pass for the
first time in Montana football history.

Livingston There were practically no
substitutes available so no one dared
get hurt and quit.
Sherman, the coach, left Livingston
for Des Moines college in Iowa the
next year and later went to the Pa
cific university. He then retired from
active athletics and came TO Great
Falls where he entered the insurance
business and has remained since.
"One Of the best memories of those
days Is how much the students and
players themselves appreciated winning
that Butte game" he said The prin-
cipal of the Livingston school had an
ironclad rule that. no matter what
there should be no applause

from Blackfoot City, he was working
in the bayfield, nearby where he could
watch both the house and the station
He returned to his work Immediately
after lunch and short time later Pete
rode away. The Frenchwoman left the
station and went to the house and as
there was no one else in sight his long,
awaited opportunity arrived at last.
With everything ready for a quick
getaway he could rob her and II ne

be the logical suspect. He followed her

she had any gold he demanded 70 be

she told him that she had shipped II
all out and threatened to have him
tried by a miners court, he killed her
to keep her from carrying out her
threats. He then hurriedly but thor

digging in the basement, but he could
not find the dust. Realizing what 1t
would mean if ne was caught there he
saddled a horse and started south
across the mountains. Eventually he
worked his way back to France.
