This year, FIFTH GRADE, Marcia and Marshall Kulbeck and Loren Jenkins were caught smoking weeds behind the outbuildings at the rural school which they attended. After a long and serious talk with the teacher and a note to their parents, they learned about crime and its punishment. The year they were in the SIXTH GRADE was the year they raised white mice. Mr. Smith and Mr. DeRosa were the teachers. This year Arvid Galbavy and Joyce Terry joined the class. It was in the SEVENTH GRADE that Linda Brinkman and Helen LaBuda hit Joyce Terry with a book and Joyce fainted. All three then had to clean the band room windows after Joyce had re- cuperated. Mr. Schwartz was the teacher. It was during the summer before the class en- tered EIGHTH GRADE that Sharon Peterson met Bonnie Sevick. Bonnie sat down with Sharon and started talking about boys. She never stopped. This year the rural students joined forces with the town pupils to find out what high school was about. Those who entered at this time were Bonnie Sevick, Jane Clark, Marshall and Marcia Kulbeck, Sharon Peterson, Loren Jenkins, Bob Robertson, George Drga, Richard Cook, John Jirsa, Elsie Boehm, Maribeth Pokorny, Fred Haakensen, and Marvin Osterman. It was at the beginning of our FRESHMAN year that Mr. Hammond started his job of piloting our class. He ended up as Admiral of the Lake Blaine Canoe Fleet when we were seniors. Gloria McNeill was Homecom- ing Princess this year. It was during the SOPHOMORE year that the class, the boys, learned the hard way about shooting spit wads. Jane Clark was the target.

There will probably be enough for several people, Ruth, so you can pass them around. Bob Robertson leaves his ability to smile in the face of danger (Mr. Peck) to BobKaste. Jean Broesder leaves her interesting little black book of addresses to Janet Jenkins. She leaves the pep club booth headaches to Carolyn Myers. Marcia Kulbeck wills her ability to be a cheerleader, president of F.H .A., stand third in class, and work on the paper and annual staffs to Maxine Hoge. Helen LaBuda wills her ability to work, rake 6 solids, and teach twirling to her sister Jeanette. She leaves her unfinished semester of algebra to Shirley Grubb. In witness whereof. We, the Class of 1959, set our hands and seal this 29th day of May, Anno Domini, one thousand'nine hundred and fifty-nine.

Sneak Day Four o'clock on the morning of May 14 found most of the seniors in front of the school waiting for the bus that was to take them on their sneak trip. Some had stayed up all night just to make sure they didn't miss the bus—it was a half hour late. While they were waiting, several of the girls ran a lap around the track just to get in shape for the trip. The first stop was at the Gates of the Moun- tains. The boat trip through the Gates was interesting as the pilot pointed out strange forma- tions in the rocks. Some of us never did see the alligator on the cliff. After a picnic lunch, we hiked along the trails and picked up a few woodticks. The next stop was Fronfier Town near Helena where we shopped for souvenirs and visited the museum. At four in the afternoon we arrived in Missoula. We stayed at a motel near the edge of town this first night. Some of the students went to a show and others had a party. Considering the food consumed at the party, it was a miracle that some could continue the trip. It was about 10:30 this first night that a bit of laundry was done and hung on the rear view mirror of the bus to dry. Stops always mean food. George. Marshall, Fred, Jerry On our way Rich, Gloria, Sharon, Jerry, Helen, Legs unidentified. The next morning, with a little sleep tucked under our eye lids, a cold bath, and some breakfast, we were on our way north. We stopped at the Bison Range where we saw the fam- ous White Bison. We took some pictures then drove on. We stopped once again to feed candy and other leftover lunch goodies to a scraggley little deer. We then drove on to St. Ignatius where we visited the old Mission Church and admired the beautiful pictures there. After dinner at Ronan, we drove to the resort which was located on the shore of beautiful Lake Blane. Mr. and Mrs. Fciiows were our hosts and saw to it that we had a wonderful time. Ready for the boat ride. As soon as the bus stopped, the boys headed for the boats on the shore and the girls ran to the cabins to see where they were going to stay. After the cabins were assigned, the girls donned shorts and went rowing. Marcia, Fred, Sharon, and Jerry must have gone turtle hunting because they came back with several specimens. A few brave souls went swimming. The Admiral thinning the coffee he had made. 19
