To keep up with academics, the boys would go to school in the morning hours, and the girls in the afternoon. When not in school during the day, the students would work at their assigned jobs on campus. In 1945, the school joined the Montana High School Association, and membership obtained in the District 4 Class "C" competition. Troop #46 of the Boy Scouts was also started at this time.

The unfortunate team name of "Beavers" was gratefully retired. | To keep up with academics, the boys would go to school in the morning hours, and the girls in the afternoon.
