One by one they were intro- duced to Miss Jordan, their first grade teacher. They were as follows: Patricia Niet- feld, Charles Potter, Franklin Peterson, Bruce White, Clifford Paules and Gordon Ruttman. In the Second year all the pupils returned with Miss Jordan again as their instructor. Miss Dugger, our third grade teacher helped us welcome Patsy Glasgow into our class. Under the supervision of Mrs. Graham, our fourth year found us all back with two newcomers. Jack Daiss and Bob Linhart. As we progressed along the road of knowledge, we found that Mrs. Sandercock was our fifth grade teacher. We lost Patsy Glasgow and Franklin Peterson as classmates and gained Bill Reinke and Franklin Sanners. As we entered our sixth year with Miss Miller as our teacher, we found our class enlarged by two--Donna Oliver, Don Foote, but we also lost two--Franklin Sanners and Bob Linhart. September, 1946 found us entering Junior High with a class enrollment of eight, with Mr. Kirby as our teacher. Darlene Erschabek was our new student--however, during the end of the first semester Bill Reinke moved to Torringion. In our final Junior High year we had seven students at the beginning of the year. At this time Dick Doss, Bill Malay and Loren Holmes joined our ranks. Mr. Bob Woods was our instructor. In September 1948 we entered our Freshman year of school. Tom McGilvery, Bill Malay and Loren Holmes dropped out at the end of the eighth grade leaving only seven of us to be initiated. Miss Ingalls was chosen our sponsor. Entering our Sophomore year we lost Donna Oliver, but we gained Diane Conkle. Mr. Conkle was our sponsor. We had two newcomers our Junior year--Don Calahan and Don Peterson; we also lost Diane Conkle, who moved to Lingle. Mrs. Eggers, our sponsor, helped us present our very successful Class Play, Listen to Leon. We also put on a banquet and prom for the Seniors. Here we are now in our Senior year with Mr. McCollar as our sponsor. Clifford Paules did not enroll with the class this year. However, with the enrollment of June Bryson, our class remained at eight students. We enjoyed presenting our Senior Play and going on sneak day. We will always remember the Banquet and prom the Juniors presented to us. - I� -.' • • A • i , ' Oqat pnc rso l 7 33 H( CE WH Tt K-lfOl °° FOOT 12-11-33 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1952, of the City of Fort Laramie, County of Goshen and the State of Wyoming, being of sound mind and body, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us. First: We of the Senior Class, leave to the entire Student Body, faculty, and School Board our old battle-scarred textbooks, desks, and anything else which we have used in our four years of high school. Second: To the Juniors, we will our seats by the windows and nine more months of good school spirit which we feel that we have had in our Senior year. Third: To the Sophomores we will the success that we had on our Junior Class Play, in hopes that they will have as much or more. Fourth: To the Freshmen we will a sprig of ivy to keep alive as long as they are in High School. The Seniors leave their individual bequests as follows: First: June Bryson wills to Carolyn Fintus her ways of getting to oasketball games, also June wills to Dorothy Hood, her long blond hair. Second: Don Calahan wills his ability to get along with teachers to Alvin Paules, also, to Harry Heller, Don wills his ability to take band four years straight. Third: Dick Doss wills his blue basketball bloomers to George Nietfeld hoping they will keep him as warm as they did Dick. Also, Dick wills to Mr. Lew Young the brown leather button which he swiped off his big overcoat December 13, 1951. Dick apolo- gizes for stealing it. Fourth: Don Foote wills to Lee Brittenham his ability to hit free throws, in hopes that he will use it to Fort Laramie's advantage. Fifth: Patricia Nietfeld wills her joo as milkmaid to Marjorie Lou Young. Also Pat wills her place on the honor roll to Alvin Paules, and hopes that he will live up to it. Sixth: Don Peterson wills his ability to play with a yo-yo to anyone who wants it. Don also wills his job of working on ads for the school paper to Phil Rickey. Seventh: Charles Potter wills to Herb Paules his ability to score 25 pts. per game. Charles also wills to Rex Walker his typing eraser in hopes that Rex doesn't have to use it as much as he did. Eighth: Bruce White wills to Fhil Rickey his long legs, so that he may play center next year in basketball. Bruce also wills his typewriter and ability to type 120 words per minute to Macel Nearing. In witness thereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names and offer our seal this fifteenth day of May in the year of Our Lord, One Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Two: In the presence of Mr. McCollar, County of Goshen, City of Fort Laramie, State of Wyoming. stsUUXJl Asty CLASS PROPHECY OF 1952 The rocketship was soaring through space--it was the year 1972--twenty years since I had taken off for the moon, on a scientific expedition, and now I was going back to my home. I found my mind wandering back into yesteryears, but finally concentrating on Fort Laramie and that old graduating class of 52. What was it like? Where were they all? What were they doing? Maybe someday I'd know the answers. How little I knew that those answers were within a few hours’ reach of me. My ship landed in Miami four hours later, and as I was walking down the ramp 1 noticed the pilot talking to the hostess. Something clicked in my brain--it couldn't be, but it was Don Foote. I hurried over and after a few minutes of back-slapping, suggested we have dinner together. Over a thick steak and numerous cups of coffee, we talked over old times. Don said Fort Laramie hadn't changed much, but that the class of 52” had taken different paths to fame and fortune. He had taken up space flying-- Dick Doss had taken Arthur Godfrey's place on Radio and Television--Charles Potter was a successful rancher, owning the largest spread in the northwest-- Don Calahan had made his million and was retired--June Bryson, his wife, was ousy raising ball players--Don Peterson had climbed the ladder of success until now he was the World’s Yo-Yo Champion--Patricia Nietfeld had attained great success as an instructor in the art of cheerleading--Bruce White had found his place in the world of sports, he was a promoter of boxing matches. We sat silently for a few moments, then Don looked at his watch. It was al- most time for his ship to take off on another scheduled flight. Reluctantly, we prepared to part, but with a last wave of the hand Don said, You remember Lew Young, our old basketball coach? Well, he's in Laramie now, he stepped into Ev. Shelton's shoes. Yes, time waits for no man, it just keeps going on. JUNIORS JUNENE SHOEMAKER CAROLYN FINTUS JEANETTE RITTERUNG MACEL NEARING President Vice President Secretary MR. LEE, Sponsor ROLFE GRAHAM LEE BRITTENHAM JACK GREGG News Reporter Student Council CHARLES NEARING PHIL RICKEY KEITH HENDRICKSON ALICE LATTA JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941, four of today's Juniors, Jeanette, Alice, Carolyn, and Rolfe began their unending struggle for knowledge in the old brick building at Fort Laramie. In our second year, our mothers contributed candy which we sold at a Folio benefit. Our third and fourth grades Drought us Lee Brittenham and Jack Gregg. We got our first glimpse of Junene Shoemaker, our present day class president, in the sixth grade, when Alice found her in the wrong seat. In our eighth grade, we left the now battle-scarred brick building to resume our classes in the high school building. It was here that Macel and Charles Nearing and Phil Rickey joined forces with us. Our freshman year began with a bang--initiation!!!! The sophomores were unable to hand us more than we could endure. The year ended with our annual class picnic at Guernsey Lake. Two freshman boys, Lee and Louis, played on the first five on the basketball squad. The following year we initiated the new freshmen and found them all good sports, which they proved by giving us a very nice return party. Our class increased with the arrival of Keith Hendrickson. We ordered our class rings last spring and received them this fall. The first project this year was our Junior play, which furnished us many hours of entertainment. We hope that our prom will be remembered by all who attended for years to come. JUNIOR CLASS PLAY HILLBILLY COURTSHIP--Directed by MR. LEE They were feudin', fussin’ and a fightin' on Hog Mountain. It seemed that Ma Peppin (Junene Shoemaker) and Pappy Stilsby (Jack Gregg) just couldn't agree on anything. Of course with Luke Stilsby (Phil Rickey) and Emmy Peppin (Alice Latta) it was different. They were courtin' and wanted their folks to forget and forgive, but neither would give in. Things really became messed up when two furriners, Louis Cattaro (Lee Britten- ham) and Bridget O'Flannigan (Carolyn Fintus) came up hunting for someone to marry up with. Lulu and Seedie Triffet (Macel Nearing and Jeanette Ritterling) and Wash Jeddo, the mountain Nitwit, (Keith Hendrickson) helped add to the confusion by their efforts to do the right things and always wound up doing the wrong. Of course, Sol Silverstein (Rolfe Graham) who was trying to get members for his Hillbilly chorus, had the time of his life trying to dodge matrimony with Ma Peppin, and at the same time get his job done. Emmy Peppin finally found the solution and straightened everyone out, with the help of Reverend Boswell (Charles Nearing). MRS. FERNANDES Sponsor Jeanie Crowley President SOPHOMORES Rex Walker Dorothy Hood Jim Hite Vice Resident Secretary Treasurer Alberta Heller Elsie Gall News Reporter Marveen Lambert Barbara Ray Student Council SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The sophomores unofficially entered high school in the seventh grade. The class sponsor was Mr. McVay and the classmates were Kenneth McCune, Jim Hite, Rex Walker, Dorothy Hood, Alberta Heller, Marveen Lambert, Barbara Bay, Sam Field, Herbert Paules and Lenore Pursley. The highlight of the year was the Junior High tournament at Veteran. In the eighth grade we had as sponsor Miss Ingalls. We found we had lost Ken- neth McCune, Lenore Pursley, Sam Field, and Herbert Paules, but Dorothy Reizenstein added one to the enrollment. This year the Junior High team did not have a tournament. The girls enjoyed their first year of FHA. When the class of 54 reached the ninth grade we gained Elsie Gall and Jeanie Crowley and lost Dorothy Reizenstein. We felt much smaller than we had at the beginning of the seventh grade. Mrs. Fernandes was chosen class sponsor. We were initiated and everyone lived through it, much to the sophomores' surprise! Now we are sophomores and revenge was beautiful when we took it out on the freshmen at initiation. Mrs. Fernandes was again chosen as our sponsor. This year most of the sophomores took World Geography, Geometry, English and Home Economics or Shop. We sold Christmas cards and gifts and wish to thank those who purchased these items from us. Our sophomore year ended with a look at the future. SOPHOMORE NOTES NAMES LIKES PET PEEVES Jeanie C. Rex W. Dorothy H. Jim H. Alberta H. Elsie G. Marveen L. Barbara B.

But the day came too soon. As we opened our eyes to high school we found Anna Belle Latta, Norma Brittenham, George Nietfeld, Norman Michel, Wanda Woodcock, Jimmy Stevenson, LaQuita Hub- bard, Blye Cobb, Hazel Walker, Judith Keating, Sylvia Sherrill, Bobby Kapus, Wilton Haynes and Sam Field. All were ready to be initiated. Yes, how well we remember that day! We returned thanks to the sophomores for their lovely party by giving them one in return. We are taking English I, World Geography and Algebra. The girls are enrolled in Home Economics and the boys are taking Shop I. Most of the boys are in basketball, while the girls sing in chorus. Blye Cobb and Anna Belle Latta sing in the school triple trio. We are very happy to have eight freshmen playing in the school band. Mrs. Kramer is our sponsor. FRESHMEN INITIATION Everybody seemed to get a real kick out of initiation this year. We all dressed up in imitation of comic strip characters and actors in famous plays. Bobby Kapus--Juliet, Hazel Walker--Romeo, Norma Brittenham--Man Mountain Dean, Norman Michel--Symbol of Spring, Anna B. Latta--B. O. Plenty, Sam Fie Id-- Gravel Girty, Sylvia Sherrill--Clown, Wanda Woodcock--Lena the Queen of the Town Arena, LaQuita Hubbard--Sweetpea, Blye Cobb--Little Abner, Herbert Paules--Daisy Mae, Jimmy Stevenson--Little Bo Peep, Judy Keating--Willie Winkle, Wilton Haynes--Cinderella, George Nietfeld--Cupid. All of us donned garlic necklaces and carried with us tooth brushes and paddles. We were not allowed to comb our hair but the worst was having to kneel down on the ground and say, Oh honored Sophomores. Man Mountain Dean boxed with the Symbol of Spring in a main street expedition. Little Abner and Daisy Mae were united in a two-bit dog patch wedding. Juliet and Romeo gave their traditional love scene ending with a kiss. Ah, such a time we had trying to act unhappy. Honestly though, we had a most remarkable time.

Those chosen were Torrington, Huntley, Lusk, Douglas and Fort Laramie from Wyoming and Sturgis, Hot Springs and Igloo from South Dakota. Fort Laramie played their first game with Sturgis, South Dakota and were beaten 47-30. The next afternoon on the 28th, they met Hot Springs, South Dakota and handed them a 21-19 defeat which entitled Fort Laramie to play Huntley, Wyom- ing for consolation honors. In that game Fort Laramie was defeated 35-26. Torrington was the winner, Sturgis second, Lusk third and Huntley took consolation honors.
