Tom Balek wills his gift of gab to Dennis Anderson if he can handle it, and his Plymouth to the Augusta Texaco, if they can get it to back up. Nancy Bouma wills her driving ability to Dan Barrett—if his car can take it. Doug Freeman wills his weight problem to Carol Bossing and his car to the Milky Bunch if they promise to keep the back seat clean. Ross Geise didn't will anything because he needs everything he has. Patty Grogan wills her love for Mr. Rohnke to next year's Lariat Staff. Rick Grogan wills his Caterpillar to Shorty Henry so he can clean the gym floor. Bob Hammel wills his successful keggers to Larry Shanahan who needs the practice. Linda Haugen wills her winning smile to Mrs Walters. Jackie Hoeffner wills her vast knowledge to President Nixon who needs all the help he can get. Glenda Krezelok wills her petite figure to Linda Bond, and her nose, complete with portable snot rag, to Mr. Wilson who needs a new one. Lenny Malatare wills his tire-changing ability to the Milky Way Bunch if they're going to get Luigi's car. Vicky Malatare wills her out-of-town romances to Gena Springer, and her brother to Geyser so maybe they can win a game. B.J. McDonough wills his math grade to Ron Crees. He refused to will the Reibeling girls because he'll need them himself. Randy Morris wills his sticky fingers to Patty Hindberg if she's going into the honey business with her Dad. Kent Mosher wills his open-field running ability to Jerri Hoeffner so she can keep away from the boys. Linda Neal wills her nerves of steel to anyone who has to eat in the lunchroom. Jerry Perkl wills his cell to Randy Morris if he can afford the rent. Joy Severtson wills her horses to Ruthey, our galloping gourmet, in case the government surplus runs out. Judy Sparrow wills her love for cowboys, white lightnin', and Mr. Rohnke, to Evelyn Cornman, our famous snow- queen. Lloydene Paul wills her hips to the Junior girls, (there's enough to go around,) and her acting ability to Becky Mills if she promises to use it the right way. Anne Tinsley wills Mike, Ross, Dan, and Randy to her father so he can start his own pen. J.T. Weisner wills Nyleen to the U. S. Army so she can replace the troops in Vietnam. Debby Welch wills her way with men to the junior, sophomore, and freshmen girls—there's plenty to go around. And last, but least, Mr. Wilson wills his hair to Mike Eckerson if Mike will accept one measly hair. Class Prophecy The senior class of 1971 all went their own ways after their graduation in May. However, in the present year, 2,000, A. D., all the members of this class are residing in Bickle, Montana. Their occupations vary from the very strange to the very common. Ross Geise is the local bee trainer. It is known that he is doing very well for himself as his is a rare occupation. His neighbor, Linda Haugen, sometimes becomes a little irate with Mr. Geise as she is often stung by his pets. This is to the astonishment of the whole community as bees are known to attack only the sweet things in life. Tom Balek is a very prominent professor in Bickle. He is now teaching a special education class for slow learners. Among his students are Patty and Rick Grogan, and Jackie Hoeffner, who are enrolled to further their education. The students are progressing fast and are now learning to tie their shoes. Jackie, who tries hard and has an exceptional memory can be seen sitting in the comer reciting the directions, the left string over. .., no I think its the right. .. Well, Jackie tries anyway. Nyleen and J. T.'s hot romance has cooled off considerably. They are married now, and J. T. doesn't treat her as good as he should. Nyleen is still remembering the way things used to be; they say mooses never forget. J. T. is blind to her plea's as he can't see past the end of his nose. Joy went into the medical field and is the only veterinarian for miles around. B. J. makes frequent trips to the Severtson Clinic to obtain advice for his aardvark breeding experiment. Luigi Freeman is the owner of the largest Milky Way Store in the state, and through his efforts, has become a Milky Way Millionaire. In order to overcome high taxes, Luigi is converting the outhouse out back into a cheese cutting factory. Judy and Anne can usually be seen driving around in Judy s beat up '63 Rambler. Yes, it's still running with an occasional tune up—an overhaul every week. Debbie and Lloydene are still attending the basketball tournaments in Great Falls. Just having fun , as the girls would say. Nancy Buoma has opened a Bakery called Buoma's Buns. Nancy is very content with her life of baking buns. Bob Hammel has turned detective and is still stumped on the big case of Whatever Happened to the 1971 Basketball Keg . Linda Neal is the town beautician who specializes in short hair cuts. Kent owns a sports shop in town, where they specialize in extra-large-sized football helmets. Jerry is employed at the MOSHER SPORTS ENTERPRISE, and takes care of the cash register. Glenda is living with her parents, and Randy Morris sure bums up the Krezelok road quite often. Rumor has it that he is courting. Vicky and Lenny, who have a few years on the rest of the class, are now retired. The class of '71 lives a peaceful life in Bickle, and surely they wouldn't trade it for anything; on this, you can REST ASSURED. 17 Class History The mighty class of 71 started their high school days with initiation presented to them by the class of 1970. After surviving the first three days of being tortured with materials ranging from lipstick to willow branches, they settled into the day-to-day humdrum of high school life. Election of officers presented our class with Kent Mosher, president; Tom Balek, vice-president; Glenda Krezelok, secretary; and Dave Ripley, treasurer. Our class colors were chosen as purple and white. Class sponsor was Cowboy John Nelson. With homecoming nearing we selected Glenda Krezelok as our candidate and Bob Hammel as escort. To make homecoming a real success our class received first place in the float contest. Our money making projects of the year consisted of a few bake sales and car washes. With graduation spinning around Debbie Welch was presented with the Crisco Award for baking. Our sophomore year started off with the smearing of the newcomers to Augusta High. The election of class officers brought into the ranks B. J. McDonough, president; Bob Hammel, secretary; J. T. Weisner, vice-president; and Kent Mosher, treasurer. Mr. Jim Wilson was the sophomore sponsor. As homecoming neared our class came up with another number one float with the announcement being given at half-time of the homecoming game. Our homecoming queen candidate was Debbie Welch escorted by Dave Ripley. The year passed quickly and before we knew it we were upperclassmen. Our new president for the junior year was one of the Lincoln students, Anne Tinsley. Her fellow officers were Glenda Krezelok, vice-president; Nyleen Anderson, secretary; and Barb Martin, treasurer. Mr. Rohnke was chosen as our class sponsor against his better judgement. Homecoming gave our class one more honor--Nyleen Anderson was chosen as princess and her escort was Dave Ripley. Student Council officers from our class included B. J. McDonough, vice president, and Glenda Krezelok, secretary-treasurer. Glenda, Nyleen, and B. J. were presented Heisey awards at graduation. Our prom theme was Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head . Decorations consisted of several shades of blue paper and miniature umbrellas cascading from the ceiling. Music was provided by the Missing Lynx. Nyleen Anderson and B. J. McDonough and J. T. Weisner represented our school at Girl's and Boy's States. Soon we ruled the halls of old AHS—we were the all-powerful invulnerable senior class. Hitting the road to success we elected Glenda Krezelok to the president's chair, B. J. McDonough as vice-president; Nyleen Anderson as secretary, and J. T. Weisner as treasurer. The Frito Bandito was our sponsor. Annual members included Tom Balek, Editor; Kent Mosher, assistant editor; Doug Freeman, business manager; B. J. McDonough, work-horse; and Vickie Malatere and Debbie Welch, photographers. Glenda Krezelok and Bob Hammel also were members of the staff. Tom Balek was elected as the student council president. Anne Tinsley was chosen as princess at Homecoming with Doug Freeman escorting. The Senior Play, Rest Assured, was well received much to the thanks and effort of Miss Diane Boley. Though at times boring and annoying, none can regret the hours spent in high school—a double asset both as an unforgettable experience and a key to a successful future. 18 The Class of 1971 J. T.

The Council succeeded in starting a personal absence system and was responsible for all activities carried on during the 1970 - 1971 term. The Council strove to improve school spirit in cooperation with the Pep Club by having an elk figure painted on the jump circle of the gymnasium. A large elk head was also mounted on the east wall of the gymnasium. The Council held dances after home games on Saturday nights, and con- tributed to causes sponsored by the other school organizations. The Student Council innovated some original and effective ideas and contributed much to the betterment of the school. 35 Chorus First row, from left to right; Doug Freeman, Dianne Orr, Lyntje Bouma, Brad Flesch, Mr. Keith Collison.

The Elks scored 263 total points to the oppositions' 90; their defense was unparalleled in District 5C. A stroke of misfortune kept the Elks from a chance at the divisional crown when, midway through the season, Coach Joe McCracken discovered that an ineligible player was on the roster. The decision of the Montana High School Association necessitated the forfeiture of the four games in which he had played, leaving the Elks with an official record of 3 wins and 4 losses. The Elks' sudden plunge from first to last left their spirits dampened only temporarily, and the determined team came back with a decisive victory over top-rated Power. Though Augusta finished with a 3 and 4 record they remain undefeated in the hearts of their fans.
