The sophomore class held a
dancing party in the. recreation
room of the high school Friday
evening, April 6. Alan Collier
and Joyce Wedel acted as. en-
tertainment committee. The
cleanup squad was composed
of Bill Evenson, Jack Butorac,
John Elder and Jack Cline.
Cookies and pop were served
during the evening and the
record player provided music.
Faculety members present were
John Fisher and class sponsors
Miss Amy Wade and Mr.. and
Mrs. James Milne.
The sophomore class had a
meeting during the last period
Wednesday, April 4, at which
reports were made on business
brought up in student council.
Glass president Bob Haug pre-
sided.
At l o'clock on Wednesday,
April 4, the student council
met to discuss the comforting
and wearing of letters and
stripes for service in athletics
and other activities. Luke Dyche,
coach, and Frank Solazzi, the
band director, we're invited to
give their views. Nothing final
was decided.
Coach Dyche seized a few
minutes when the high school
was assembled to take a group
test last Wednesday morning
to invite all high school boys to
go out for track. He appointed
Jack Colstad for the seniors,
Bill Medicine Tail for the jun
iors, and Alan Collier for the
Sophomores to do recruiting
among their respective classes.
Boys in study hall during the
last two hours of the day will
be excused to practice on the
track, with Principal Salyer's
OK. High school athletes are
looking ahead to the big track
meet at Missoula this spring,
and another later at Rocky
Mountain college. They are al
so planning on an interclass
meet here.
The test given to the entire
high school Wednesday, April
4. was not actually a test at
all. It was the tx D Proneness
Check List, on of many de-
vices which are becoming rou-
tine in schools which make a
serious effort to assist the in
dividual student in his struggle
with life and studies. The re-
action of the students to the
check list was one of curiosity.
Examined casually, it was just
a mess of stupid questions
having nothing to do with in
telligence or knowledge. There
were no rightaor wrong answers.
It might be hard to believe that
it was the result of years of
experiment and experience in
helping high school age people.
On Thursday, April 5, senior
and junior high school enjoyed
a program on travel given I'M
der the auspices of National
School Assemblies. The speaker
was Delbert Harte, explorer,
aviator, athlete, musician, sea
diver and actor. He was intro
duced by Jack Colstad.
Although some of Mr.. Harte's
adventures certainly retarded
his fortunes the sinking of a
tuna fishing boat with his
share of the catch aboard; and
the sale of John Barrymore's
yacht to a person who did not
need the services of Hart, who
had just settled down to a job
as a crew member-hiS manner
of telling these sad stories
made his audience quite hilar-
ious.
He had even had some exper-
fence in a leper colony. He had
a collection of weapons which
included a Canton eXecutioner'S
sword, a hara-kiri knife, A Rob-
in Hood stag knife, a Napol-
comic saber, and a pygmy's
poisoned spear, to mention a
few. He had costumes from var
ious parts of the world, too,
and, using Jack Colstad as a
model, he showed, the audience
how an Arab from TranS-Jor-
dan put on his outfit.
