fUSS WILL We, the Senior Class of 1957 of Big Sandy High School, being in sound mind and body in spite of having completed 12 years of school life, do make and publish this, our last Will and Testament. I, JEANICE ATKINSON, will my hearty laugh and typing skill to John Denis. , RICHARD BRINKMAN, will my ability to add and do my bookkeeping to Bumps' girl. I, CAROLYN DEWINTER, will my calm disposition and even temper to Judy Lohse. I, BETTY DYER, will my ability to get engaged to an out-of-town boy to Wanda Clixby. I, DONALD GASVODA, will leave—much to the relief of my teachers. I, GERALD GASVODA, will leave Mr. Hammond with what little hair he has left. I, CARROLL GENEREUX, will my genius at sleeping in class to anyone who can get away with it. I, LARRY HAKENSEN, will just pack up and leave. I, EUGENE HANDL, will my old Chev, the headaches that go with it, and the fun I have had with it to my brother Bill, and hope he can keep it on its wheels. I, BARBARA HOGE, will leave my ability to care for a husband, a home, hold down a job, and still get straight A's to Margie Glasoe. I, LOIS KING, will my Bass Drum to Deana, as I won't need it in Germany. I, BEVERLY KULBECK, will leave my pile of tattered stencils and villainous thoughts to Gary Geyer. I, BERNARD LABUDA, will leave the Home Ec. girls and the piles of grocerys to David Ensley. Dave—a moving van or cattle truck would be appropriate for the job. I, JEANNE LAWRENCE, will my Hideaway in the mountains to Wilma Krumsick, and I'll find a new location. I, CAROL MADISON, will my talent for racing up the halls and getting in a class-room the second before the bell rings to Jack Allderdice. I, DOLLILEE McNEILL, will to Bev Brewer my ways of getting what I want even if it takes a long time.

I, BETTY LOU PFRIMMER, will my excused and unexcused absences to whoever may need them in the future. I, ALICE PURSLEY, will my privilege of riding home with Glenn to his Junior girlfriends. I, GLENN PURSLEY, will leave my skill at looking busy while doing nothing to Marvin Osterman. I, TIM SCOTT, will my Government book to anyone loony enough to take it. I, EARL SLUGGETT, will my place on the Honor Roll to Bob Schwartz. I, LESTER SLUGGETT, will my brown nose to anybody it might fit. I, LUCILLE TERRY, will my goat to Jim Vallie, since he is always trying to get it. I, SHIRLEY TURK, will my nickmane of Abigail and my conceit to Kari Keup. I, ARNOLD TYLER, will leave the teachers in a strong state of shock. I, DON WANDLER, will my easy-going temper to Richard Schwartz. WE, the SENIORS, will to the Juniors our swelled heads, to the Sophomores our Chem- istry and Bookkeeping test answers, and to the Freshmen, Mr. Burley, as he will be available again next year. 16

During the year the class presented three one-act plays, Little Nell, Sparkin', and Riders to the Sea. To say farewell to the seniors we gave the annual Junior-Senior prom and banquet. The theme was South Pacific. Closing the year, the class decorated and ushered at the Baccalaureate and Commencement exercises. ★ ★★ When the bells tolled in September of 1956, the class was called back for the long- awaited last year of high school. Class officers this year were Lester Sluggett, president; Carolyn DeWinter, vice-president; Gene Handl, secretary-treasurer; Jeanice Atkinson, student council representative. Mr. Burley and Mr. Rickerd sponsored the class. Barbara Miller returned as Mrs. Lawrence Hoge. Thirty-three green freshmen were welcomed by us into high school at the Initiation ceremonies. We chose Betty Dyer and Gene Handl for carnival king and queen candidates, and for a second time, our choice was the people's choice. Career Day marked the opening of a busy spring season. The class play, The Curious Savage, was given with Mrs. Dyer as director. The juniors honored us at the prom and banquet April 27. It was nice to enjoy them without having worked hours on them ourselves! The Theme was A Japanese Tea Garden. High School Week was held May 2,3,4, 1957, with four of our members attending. They were Jeanice Atkinson, Shirley Turk, Beverly Kulbeck, and Carolyn DeWinter. Then suddenly the Seniors were gone on their twice re-scheduled Sneak Day. Of course, everyone had a bang-up time. Lois King became the blushing bride of Pfc. Leslie Stashi on May 12, 1957. Two seniors, Shirley Turk and Dollilee McNeill attended the Interscholastic Meet at Missoula with Miss Hanley. They brought home a Superior rating for the Rouser. Baccalaureate services were held the Sunday before Graduation. The women's groups of the churches had a reception following, in our honor. Senior Breakfast and a dinner for the Seniors were the day of Graduation. Finally the Big Night arrived. Some of us were happy and others sad to be leaving, but we all knew that never will our days here at B.S.H.S. be forgotten 1 15
