'Dedicatiott This annual published by the senior Class of 1950, is dedicat- ed TO THE TRUSTEES. THE MEMBERS ARE: BERDIENNE GULLICKSON, HENRY Jappe, Frank Maxwell, Walter Genereux, Harold Mathews and the CLERK, WALTER TSCHERGI. THEY HAVE MADE OUR TIME IN SCHOOL THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES. THEIR ABILITY TO HANDLE ALL SITUATIONS THAT HAVE ARISEN AND THEIR CAREFUL CONSIDERATION OF OUR PROBLEMS WILL ALWAYS BE APPRECIATED. THEY HAVE HELPED THE SCHOOL AND US IN SO MANY WAYS THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO EXPRESS ADEQUATE APPRE- CIATION. WE CAN ONLY EXTEND A MUCH DESERVED, THANK YOU. It has been said that a person is as old as he or she feels. Youth is the time when learning is easy, consequently it is also the time when we should fit our minds by study and application, so th t in later years there will be well-trained nerve channels to handle the mental and physical problems which we will for certain be required to solve in making a living. Most of today's biggest problems are handled by people well along in years, for example those handled by the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. These people must of neces- sity be as mentally alert or more so than most other people. One of the secrets of staying young is to acquire and retain an active interest in learning new ideas and in making use of these new ideas for better living. School provides opportuni- ties for students to develop their thought processes and to learn and use new ideas. We of the Faculty hope that your learning experiences in this institution have provided you with sufficient incentive to continue your education whether it be formal or not. E. E.

The headings are as follows: RANCHER KANE SELLS 5,000 HEAD OF CATTLE Martin Kane, a famous rancher, sells 5,000 head of cattle. He hired a train to take his herd to Chicago. He tells us that he will make the trip in the summer, for it just takes too much OUT OF A PERSON TO RIDE IN THE OPEN DURING A STORM. OPENING OF NEW STORE There will be a new store opened here soon, run by Dece Lohse. The slogan he wishes you to remember is in the name of his STORE, SAVE IT 4 U GROCERY STORE , he saves money for you IF YOU GIVE IT TO HIM.

SPEED AT i THROTTLE PASSED THE SONIC wall. Ralph says that when she’s wide open it will probably SHOOT OFF INTO SPACE. Ralph is a graduate of Big Sandy High School in the year i950. GENERAL MAXWELL WINS BATTLE OVER RUSSIANS General Thomas Maxwell and his i05 division have captured Rus- sia. They said it was a tough fight, but Tom, having confidence in his men, laid in the shade and told them what to do to win the war. SIMPLE, ISN'T IT? WE GIVE TOM THE CREDIT, FOR IT IS DUE TO HIS HIGH school career in Big Sandy. The highest award was given to Nurse Shirley Shurtliff for BRAVERY IN THE FIELD OF ACTION. SHE WAS OUT IN THE FRONT LINES UNDER VERY HEAVY GUNFIRE HELPING THE SOLDIERS. IT IS SAID SHE WON THE BATTLE BY KNOCKING OUT THE LEADER OF THE OTHER SIDE WITH A TIN CAN. A DIVORCE WAS GRANTED TODAY TO BEVERLY BULL. THIS WAS Beverly's sixth divorce since she graduated from high school in i950. Judge Ray Geibel, better known as Judge Hungary, states that Beverly is the only steady customer which he has. Earl Rada set the world's speed record, he and his hopped UP MODEL A. JUMPED 30 FT.

PoMt IN 146 OUR CLASS WAS FORMED Our hearts were full of vim WE WERE GOING TO MAKE A SHOWING And either sink or swim. The days were dark and dreary. Our troubles came too fast They were both hard and deeper. Than any in the past. with worried minds, we worked these out in a business sort of way We tried to concur troubles, But they did not all obey. Our sophomore class, a bad one, WE lost ten of our friends Our future now looked very blurred. Like a kodak minus lens. WITH OUR TASKS WE WERE GETTING WISER, And NOW WERE GETTING through Our class was short of money. And we worked on that one too. We got an added student. From the mountains far away She helped us with our troubles. And was smiling all the way. The Athletic banquet WAS A JOB WE HAD TO DO IT WAS FULL OF WORK AND WORRY With thirteen in our crew. The people praised our banquet, And how happy we did feel The boys all did the dishes. Proceeding this hearty meal. CLASS POEM (CONTINUED) NOW COMES UP THE JUNIOR YEAR The hardest in the school With our two years of practice WE TOOK THIS a LITTLE COOL. The school put on the Carnival And we put on the dance, we also had a little booth WITH WHICH WE TOOK A CHANCE. WE ALSO HAD TWO CANDIDATES The best we could have chose With all our work and worry Two others really rose. WE TOOK A RIDE UP THE LINE And landed at Chinook WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE PLAY WE WILL PUT IT IN OUR BOOK. THE LAST OF OUR YEAR WAS THE TOUGHEST FOR WE HAD TO PUT ON THE PROM IT REALLY CAUSED SOME EXCITEMENT Like the atomic bomb. Our Prom theme was Hawaiian The best the country had it surprised all of our audience. And changed the dancing fad. WHEN WE STARTED OUR SENIOR YEAR WE HAD LOST AN IRISH SMILE She moved away to Simms, And will be gone for quite awhile. We WELCOMED THE LITTLE FRESHMEN Into our little school But by the time they graduate, They will be nobody's fool. CLASS POEM (continued) WITH OUR FOUR YEARS WORK COMPLETED And our worries nearly through WE WILL START IN ON OUR FUTURE WITH THE DUTIES SOMEWHAT NEW. WE WILL LEAVE THE LITTLE SCHOOL HOUSE A STAND ING ALL ALONE AND GO INTO THE DISTANCE TO MAKE A BRAND NEW HOME. WE HOPE WE GET THE LUCK The future classes had And keep our memories burning In the hearts of Mom and Dad. By Sh irley Shurtl iff (£Ccm4 “rtycdtarcf, '50 September 4, 1946, twenty-two little freshmen started SCHOOL IN THE FALL TO BE OVERTAKEN BY 31 MIGHTY SENIORS. Those who survived were: Ralph Bahnmiller, Phyllis Boet- tcher, Coral i e Brady, Don Dunbar, Bobby Ferguson, Ray Giebel, jack Gist, Martin Kane, Nina Lanning, Clarence Lohse, Tom maxwell, John McNamara, Pauline Norden, Vernon Ophus, Earl rada, Jewel Roark, Ruth Sevick, Shirley Shurtliff, Katherine Trunk, Barbara williams and Edward Yelton. Being new and different we held our first meeting September 4, to select our class officers. Ed Yelton became our Presi- dent, Shirley Shurtliff as vice-president, Phyllis Boettcher the Secretary and Treasurer and John McNamara was chosen as our representative in Student Council. Barbara williams was SELECTED OUR CHEERLEADER AND OUR YEAR WAS UNDER WITH MR. JUL- son as our Sponsor. Our first attempt was the Freshman Return Party, which was October 22, the lunch, consisting of sandwiches, cookies, AND POP WAS SERVED BY THE SCARED LITTLE GROUP AND OUR MISSION WAS MARKED ACCOMPLISHED . Following was the Carnival for which Shirley and Tom were CHOSEN AS CANDIDATES. BEING A POLITE AND COURTEOUS GROUP, WE ALSO HAD THE COAT CHECK, AND TREASURE HUNT BOOTHS. AT OUR NEXT MEETING ED RESIGNED AS PRESIDENT AND TOM MAX- WELL took over November ll, to finish out the term. We entered our Sophomore year a little wiser and braver, but were disappointed not to see the faces of Don Dunbar, Bobby Ferguson, jack Gist, Nina Lanning, John McNamara, jewel Roark, Ruth Sevick, Barbara Williams� Ed yelton, and Pauline Norden, But we later received Beverly Bull, leaving our class with thirteen students. That year Tom was again our President, Ray Giebel, vice- president, and Shirley Shurtliff as Secretary and Treasurer. This year Vernon Ophus was our Student Council representa- tive. WE GAVE THE TASK OF BEING OUR SPONSOR FOR THE YEAR TO Mr. Schwartz, who filled it very well. With the Carnival coming up, we had Clarence Lohse and Coral ie Brady as our Candidates. Our class chose the Fish Pond and Confetti booths in which to make money. Our main event of the year was the Athletic Banquet, which was held March 30, 1948, in the home Ec. and ist Grade Rooms. A slight miracle happened then. Our sophomore boys very CORAGEOUSLY DID THE DISHES AFTER THE MEAL. Our Junior year opened with elections for our officers. For the year we chose Tom Maxwell to still hold the presid- ent’s chair, Beverly Bull took over the duties belonging to the Vice-President, and Shirley Shurtliff yet held the off- ice of Secretary and Treasurer. Phyllis Boettcher was cho- sen to be our representative in Student Council. Mr. Sch- wartz, being very capable and daring, still held the Spon- sor’s chair. This year we lost Vernon Ophus and accepted Loren Kenny as a junior to still hold thirteen. The Junior Class was in charge of the dance during the Carnival of ’48. Our well chosen candidates for Carnival King and Queen were Ralph Bahnmiller and Beverly Bull, but it was not our year to have a reigning King and Queen. On November i9, 1948, the Junior Play Cast, accompanied by the director, Mrs. Ray Giebel, motored to Chinook to see thier play For Pete’s Sake”. We presented the same play December ii, with great success. We finished our hardest task of the year when we pres- ented the Senior Class with a Banquet followed with a prom. Our theme was Hawaiian. We had Palm trees, hula girls, and even a Hawaiian Orchestra from Great Falls. Darlene Handford and Bill Allderdice were crowned Prom Queen and king. This, TOO, WAS PRONOUNCED A HUGE SUCCESS BY ALL WHO ATTENDED. We, now as Seniors, entered the year proud and happy, but SOMEONE WAS MISSING, THE CHEERFUL FACE OF CORAL IE BRADY WAS NOT AMONG US ANY LONGER FOR SHE MOVED TO SIMMS. OF COURSE, WE COULDN’T FORGET THE-FRESHMEN. WE WELCOMED them into Senior High School with beautiful costumes, lim- BURGER CHEESE, NEW HAIR STYLES, AND OF COURSE PADDLES. THEY WERE ALL GREAT SPORTS, AND I’M SURE THE EVENT WILL BE LONG REMEMBERED. Our first important event of the year was the Carnival. Our final candidates were Katherine Trunk for Queen and Earl rada for King. Since it was our last chance we went all out for advertising, and it really paid off, for the first time IN HISTORY OUR CANDIDATES WERE CROWNED. WE WERE ALSO SUC- CESSFUL WITH OUR BINGO BOOTH. For our class officers our last year, Tom was still our President, Ralph Bahnmiller became Vice-President, and Ray Giebel our Secretary and Treasurer. Katherine Trunk was selected as our representative to Student Council. Mr. Bur- ley was CHOSEN AS OUR SPONSOR AND MR. JULSON WAS OUR CO-SPON- SOR . The Seniors had their pictures taken by the Fullmer Studio of Havre on November 22, 1949. WE PRESENTED OUR LAST PLAY BEFORE an AUDIENCE ON APRIL l5, 1950, AMOUNTING TO a GREAT SUCCESS, LATER THE SENIORS WERE TO BE MISSED FOR IT WAS TIME FOR SNEAK DAY, IN WHICH EVERY- ONE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. WE THEN HAD TO PREPARE FOR OUR CLASS NIGHT TO ENTERTAIN ALL WHO WISHED TO COME. NEXT WAS A QUIET AND PEACEFUL BACCALAUREATE SERVICE AND THEN THE NIGHT TO BE WELL CHERRISHED AND REMEMBERED WAS Graduation and the receiving of our diplomas. This closes our hearts all OUR BOOK MEMOR I ES FOR THE YEAR, AND BURNS DEEP INTO OF OUR FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.
