COMMERCE DEPARTMENT Ranchester school is proud of the remarkable progress and effective functioning of the commercial department and of the efficient, thoroughly business-like training that has been given here. During the year seven new typewriters have been added to the five purchased last year. The department was further improved by its removal to the principal’s office, where supervised practice is possible at any time the student has a study period. Here, too, duplicating machines are readily available and throughout the year the students have been called upon by school and community organizations to turn out circular letters, program booklets, banquet place cards, special tickets, and rou- tine announcements. Once each six weeks the typing classes have had the responsibility for production of an issue of the school paper. The commercial course at Ranchester offers Typing I and II each year, with Book- keeping and Shorthand being offered alternate years, and Office Practice following a year of Typing and Shorthand. Business English is incorporated in the Typing and the English classes. MUSIC Though Ranchester has been unable to obtain a regular visiting supervisor, music has been a regular part of the school’s program, with special attention given the lower grades. Mr. McCormick has assisted all departments in all programs of the year and we felt that a well trained group participated from Ranchester in the Sheridan County Choir in May. Although nearly everyone learned the required songs, usually we sang merely to enjoy it and we learned many new songs in this way. A number of creditable performances were given during the year: When the high school girls entertained their mothers, a group of old favorites were sung. Another group of western songs, sung by the “Pep Club” for “Stunt Night” was especially well received by the public. When the primary operetta was cancelled because of measles, we improvised a short Christmas program centering around music. The school greatly appreciates the competent assistance of Anna Louise Cable in helping this and other school affairs. In April she gave freely and willingly of her time to train the FHA girls in a group of songs which was presented over KWYO. These girls also sang for the graduating exercises. HOME ECONOMICS The Home Economics class, though small, has been one of the most pleasant classes in school. Taught in utmost informality we have enjoyed each project to the full- est. This year’s course began with a history of costuming and has since centered on sew- ing and home decorating. However, we have done some serving and had experience in cooking for large numbers through serving some Rotary dinners. • Our department has been improved by the addition of two new Singer sewing machines. THANKS Most sincere thanks and appreciation go to our helpful Sheridan Carnegie Libra- ry librarian, Mrs. McClintock, and her congenial and willing assistants, Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Stuart. The teachers have felt free to call upon the library for any number of books and references for the many units and papers required by the various courses throughout the school year. As a small school is never able to keep up a suitable reference library, we have come to think of Sheridan Carnegie Library as an essential part of our school’s life. Mr. McCormick alone checked out approximately 285 books during the school year. It is pleasant to record also that no books were damaged or lost. Our friendly relation with the library has been indeed pleasant! Another essential friend to our school year has been Mrs. Hazel M. Conley, who has at all times been available for help, advice and encouragement. The efficiency with which she has managed her office and the policies she has instituted have been a benefit to all of us. A word of praise or cheer is ever an impelling force in school relationships and Mrs. Conley has the ability to inspirit both the teachers and the pupils with whom she comes in contact. 17

Our Outstanding Honor Student The Ranchester High School student who has won the greatest honors of the year and had fun doing it is Ruth Schreibeis. Ever since Ruth was ten and decided to start 4-H Club work she has succeeded in winning rib- bons and honors that have placed her high among Wyoming 4-H Club girls. In the last three years she has been Sheridan County’s clothing champion. This summer she entered in the Sheridan County Style Review, a wool gabardine suit which she had made from cloth won as a prize in the 1946 Style Review. This suit placed first. At the State Fair at Douglas in Sep- tember this suit, entered as her 4-H Club clothing project, won first in the state for “championship in dressmaking.” This entit- led her to represent Wyoming in the 4-H Na- tional Congress in Chicago, November 30 to December 5. Ruth was one of 23 Wyoming delegates who represented the winners in various 4-H projects. In addition to seeing all the national ex- hibits Ruth was royally entertained by large business firms and prominent people. She was one of forty-six participants in the big style review which was held for educational purposes as the delegates were not in com- petition. Ruth’s outfit, shown here, is a dark green all wool gabardine, made with a six gore skirt and a fitted jacket, trimmed by putting the shoulder darts on the outside. Ruth used a silver button and pin to set it off. The total cost of this winning costume is $40.38. Ruth was also chosen as one of four girls in the state to represent the 4-H clubs at the Wyoming Wool Growers Association, held in Rock Springs, November 11-13. Here fifty Wyoming girls, as guests of the association, contested in a style review. They represent- ed 4-H, FHA, and other state home economic organizations. After an elegant banquet and a thrilling contest, Ruth was one of six chosen to represent Wyoming at the Na- tional Wool Growers’ Association, held at Salt Lake City, Utah, January 26 to 30. At the contest in Salt Lake, Ruth was guest of the auxiliary of the National Wool Growers Association and in the thirteen-state style show and home sewing contest Ruth placed in the second high group of six and in addition to the finest of entertain- ment, was given a prize of a $50 U. S. Savings Bond. In addition to these fine trips and honors, Ruth won two purple ribbons on her entries of a rose rayon dress and a blue wod dress at the Sheridan County Fair last fall. The rose rayon dress was then entered at th' Pacific Livestock Exposition at Portland, Oregon, where it won second place. OUR OUTSTANDING WINNER 18
