After local freemason Pat Strickland told Superintendent Daniel Schrock about potential grant money available from the Montana Masonic Foundation, it didn't take long for Mr. Andrew Del Raso, CCHS music teacher, to fill out an application. "Our instruments are old," Del Raso explained. "They're like a used car. Even if they're good and you do regular maintenance, they're only good for a couple hundred thousand miles." Many of the instruments at Ekalaka Public Schools have seemingly been around...

by Sherry Farwell, Ned Summers & Marguerite Goeders Rozelle TOWN OF BELLTOWER, MT The early settlers of Sykes-Belltower were able to use their imaginations because during the early 1900's, the Northern Great Plains was just being developed and there were few if any established boundary conditions regarding what was possible. In the minds of these early dreamers, their community had the opportunity to become one of central significance to the region, the state, and the nation. They imagined...

Upon reading the latest Sykes-Belltower history in the Eagle, I am reminded once again about the great debt that we owe to women and how important they are in our history and indeed to our present. Two ladies stood out in this story. One was Marguerite Goeders, standing only 4 ft. 2 inches, she magnificently did all the work required on the homestead while her husband worked in their blacksmith shop. The other was Mrs. Kingsley who walked through the snow and inclement weather to deliver mail just to make a living. I suspect that each family...
As I continued to referee for several years, I was included in the top rating as an official. I was chosen for tournaments — the first being a Class C District A Tournament in Sidney, MT. Almost every referee looks forward to working a tournament. I believe the year was 1961 and the teams were Froid, Culbertson, Bainville, Brockton, Savage, Richey, Frazer, and Lambert. Some of these schools have now combined because of enrollment. A memory from this tourney was that Mr. Kenneth K. Kins was the coach of the Brockton Indians. As reported b...
Good Day to you Laddie, Tis that favorite time of the year again lads, St. Paddy’s Day. The day we all celebrate the wee bit of Irish that we all wish we had. A day with a pint of Guiness or a shot of Jamison. Since I married an Irish/Norwegian lass, I have learned to appreciate the Irish wit and need for celebration. And I have deduced that there are a few things that you know if you are Irish. 1. When you were growing up, much of your food was boiled. 2. After a few beers, you become quite poetic. 3. Not knowing the words to a song will not p...
