Class History Eleven awe-inspired green freshmen walked into the study hall the first Tuesday in September of nineteen hundred and forty-nine. We spent a hectic first day being initiated by our fellow sophomores. Electing class officers, we started school with a bang. Elected were: Gary Flom, president; Edna Hitchcock, vice-presi- dent; and Joyce Fenner, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Standal was our class sponsor. When 1950 rolled around we had a sophomore class of nine as Helen and Mildred Nelson moved to Washington. Towards the end of the year we were back to twelve stu- dents as Barbara Girardi, Bud Hubbard, and Charles Parker entered school. Our class officers for that year were: Barbara Girardi, president; Pat Hanieri, vice- president; and Edna Hitchcock, secretary-treasurer. Our class sponsor was the same as the year before, hard- working Mr. Standal. Our junior year started with a decrease in enroll- ment leaving the class a student body of eight as Gary Flom moved to Loveland, Colorado, Charles Parker moved to Choteau, and Thelma Arotta and Violet Wiseman were married and left during the year.

The year ended with Bud Hubbard and Richard Kenck being sent to Boy’s State, and Edna Hitchcock to Girl's State. As a group of eight, we started our final year, 1952-53 At the first of the year we elected class officers who were: Pat Ranieri, president; Bud Hubbard, vice-president; Richard Kenck, secretary; Barbara Girardi, treasurer; and again Mr. De Bruin, our class sponsor, devoted most of his spare time to our guidance. Mr. White, as sponsor, was a great help to us on our school paper, which was greatly improved over last year.
