Big Sandy High School - Pioneer Yearbook (Big Sandy, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 98 of the 1960 volume:

DEDICATION In token of our appreciation for her many hours of hard work, of our admiration for her skillful guid- ance, of our sincere gratitude for all the patience she has shown us, the Annual Staff gratefully dedi- cates this issue of the 1960 PIONEER to Mrs. Ernestine Neal. Mrs. Neal has taught commercial in the Big Sandy High School for the past four years. 2 SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE The next decade of American history will undoubtedly be one of the most critical and challenging for our country since this nation was established. This fact must be faced by the Class of 1960 as well as those to come in this new decade as they plan for the future. Each and every student in school today has a greater responsibility to face than ever before. We, the faculty and administration, are proud of the Class of 1960 and are confident that they have been well prepared for their post high school career. We trust and hope that we will be able to pre- pare the classes to come even better. On behalf of the faculty, the board and the undersigned, I want to take this opportunity to wish the Class of 1960 and Mrs. Neal, who has decided to depart with them, happiness and good luck in the fu- ture. i. ......................................................... . ■' i- ...i BOARD OF EDUCATION BOARD L to R, SEATED: Mac Quinn, Alfred Ophus, John Sheehy, Jerry Handl.

SNEAK DAY Twenty-one jubilant and wide-awake seniors and four not-so-wide-awake chaperones left Big Sandy at four o'clock on the morning of May 13 for their annual senior sneak trip. Chap- erones were senior class sponsor, Mr. Delaney, Mr. Verlin Hurd, Mrs. Lucille Stack, and Mrs. Walt Kaste. The seniors' destination was Lake Blaine. On the way there the group stopped at Cut Bank and also toured Hungry Horse Dam. At Hungry Horse Dam LaVern and his heavy reading material. 15 SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Senior Class of the Big Sandy High School, being about to pass out of this sphere of edu- cation in full possession of a crammed mind, do make and publish this our last will and testament. To Mr. Peck and Mr. Delaney, our sponsors, we leave our picture on the wall. This will be a con- stant reminder in future years that things could al- ways be worse. To Mr. Green we leave a brand new play, a brand new cast, and a brand new set of ulcers. Personal bequests are as follows: MARJORIE BRINKMAN leaves her hypnotic powers to Fay Osterman. DON DRGA wills his heart flutters to Gary Reichelt. GARY FOSS and BOB KASTE leave the stage- hand job with all its problems to whoever gets caught next year. GARY GALBAVY gladly leaves his sixth period English class to anyone who comes up short credits next year. He leaves his place in a houseful of pretty girls to his broth- er, Larry. JOYCE GILLESPIE leaves her place on the brides-to-be list to Marjorie Nepil. SHIRLEY GRUBB leaves the country road approaches to Ruda Haakensen. BILL HANDL leaves his alarm clock, his car, and the country roads to anyone who doesn't plan to attend first period classes. He also leaves a book of excuses to accompany the above bequest. RUTH HURD leaves her collection of boy friends and other souvenirs to Doris Slug- gett. JANET JENKINS wills her way with the high line boys to Gail Hannum. MARY ANN JIRSA gladly leaves school and exchanges her books for her horses. DARLENE KESSLER and DONNA TURK leave their assortment of correspondence courses to the high school. There are enough for all in this. JUDY BUSH and KARI KEUP leave their hiking jaunts and their interesting collections acquired on these to Joanne Galbavy and Patty Bush. CAROLYN KLIMAS leaves her many wads of chewing gum to next year’s office staff. LOIS KULBECK leaves her musical ability, the piano, the organ, and the tympani and saxophone to Allen Halverson. RAY LARSON leaves his ability to pilot the senior class through the troubled waters of their last year to Charlie Kli- mas. LAVERN NELSON leaves his ability to go with two girls at the same time to Sonny Broesder and Stan Klimas. President Ray Larson and Frances Boehm 16 Beat Vice President Kari Keup CAROL OSTERMAN wills her midnight oil and her place as valedictorian to Tom Gasvoda. MAY PETERSEN leaves her place as secretary to the secretary to Carolyn Myers. SONDRA SCHWARTZ leaves her beautiful red hair, quiet disposition, and even temper to Sherie Hurd. FRANCIS STACK leaves his ability to be in the senior play and keep his girl at the same time to Vernon Turk. HENRY TURK leaves his ability to be married, go to school, and farm at the same time to anyone who thinks he can handle the job. All the rest and residue of our property we give and bequeath to our principal, Mr. Hammond, for his use and benefit absolutely, and to be disposed of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. This includes 25 tattered books for each subject, 25 battered lockers, and 10 worn-out teachers. In witness whereof, we, the Class of 1960, do set our hands and seal this 25th day of May, one thousand nine hundred and sixty. President Vice President Secretary-Treasurer Senior proofs arrive - first period. Sondra S. and Francis S. Senior English Class - concentration? Don and Gretchen Two dignified seniors - Sondra and Lois Happy I am, from cares I'm free - Ruth Hurd PROPHECY These news notes have been taken from the 1980 Big Sandy MOUNTAINEER. MARJORIE BRINKMAN, the famous starlet of the sappy '60s has retired from the theater in order to work on rare tropical diseases in lower Slumgunda. JUDY BUSH has just returned from a world tour. Judy has been studying the head shrinking process used by the head hunters of South America. Tex' LOIS KULBECK DON DRGA, head professor of mathematics at M.I.T., has just recently repudiated Einstein’s theory of relativity. In order to prove Einstein was wrong, Don pushed a but- ton. There has been no trace of him since the dust settled, so it's difficult to say whether Einstein or Drga was right. GARY FOSS Contracting Agency has just signed a contract to paint the Empire State Building. The painters will use two inch brushes, and the job is expected to last at least 100 years. GARY GALVABY is managing a greenhouse for Shore Incorporated. He has been experimenting with dandelions in an effort to discover a rare drug that he claims is present in the flower. So far he has only succeeded in making dandelion wine, which is not new. JOYCE GILLESPIE has just made headlines in the newspapers throughout the country. She is the first woman to be sent to outer space in a rocket ship. It seems that there was some sort of mix-up. Joyce buckled herself into the seat instead of the dummy. SHIRLEY GRUBB has just been arrested in Russia on charges of being a spy for the American government. It seems that her U-18 airplane was shot down over Russian territory. This is unfortunate as the airplane was an expensive model. BILL HANDL has a TV show on the NBC network five days a week. The name of his show is How to Meet and Greet People, and we understand that Bill is giving Red Skelton competition. RUTH HURD is the American Ambassador to Ireland. RAY LARSON, Secretary of State, recently had to bring Ruth home from Cuba where she has been active in starting a revolution against dictator LaVern Nelson. One thing is certain, wherever Ruth goes there will be some kind of action. JANET JENKINS has been voted Mrs. Montana. She and her six boys will win a trip to Mexico City where Janet will A r i ML, be the honored guest of Mexico's great bull fighters, RAY Ml PECK and WILD BILL DELANEY. a.7 ▼ rj BOB KASTE-has finally gotten his bachelor’s degree and is teaching English at a high school in Honolulu. He sAys he u J % l i 10 has some new hobbies - dancing and girls. 1 hm SONDRA SCHWARTZ JANET JENKINS 18 DARLENE KESSLER has recently won the coveted roller skating championship in Big Sandy. Roller skating has really become popular in old Big Sandy, since they put in sidewalks all over town. KARI KEUP has recently shown her fa- mous paintings in New York. The critics' reviews, however, have all been the same. It seems that Kari's pictures all have an eye in them. What bothers the critics is that _ . ,___„ she never puts eyelashes on the eye. . GARY FOSS 7 7 DON DRGA CAROLYN KLIM AS has just won the ladies' divisional in the national wrestling matches. She is now on her way to the Olympic Games where she hopes to win a gold medal. It should be interesting as the Russian entry is none other than Mrs. Kruschev. LOIS KULBECK has finished her book about Africa. There is just one thing wrong with the book. It is written in the Kubanji language, and there are no translators in the Western Hemisphere who can translate it into English, and Lois has forgotten how to speak English. RAY LARSON is now Secretary of State and is doing all he can to get Shirley Grubb out of Russia. Ray got a lot of experience in the field of diplomacy while he was presi- dent of the 1960 graduating class at Big Sandy. LAVERN BRET NELSON has recently won Cuba from Fidel Castro in a poker game. Castro thinks he was cheated, but LaVern isn't concerned. He is having trouble growing a beard, though. CAROL OSTERMAN is editor-in-chief of ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA and with her able assistant, MARY ANN JIRSA, she has increased the size of BRITANNICA to 313 volumes to a set. The set sells for $4,512. MAY PETERSEN has become a famous song writer. She has done well. Elvis Pres- ley, one of May's idols of a past era, is her chauffeur. SONDRA SCHWARTZ has bought an interest in the Y Texaco Service Station. Things have really been popping around the station since Sondra bought in, especially since they installed a bubble gum machine. FRANCIS STACK is mixed up with some sort of a foreign affair. The newspaper reporters are having difficulty in finding out what her name is, but it is believed that he met her while he was building a bridge in Brazil. _ HENRY TURK is a successful turkey grower, but he still likes to cowboy on Sundays. Every Sunday Henry puts on a turkey rodeo. There are many thrills and spills when he bull- dogs a turkey. DONNA TURK is generally busy bandaging Henry up after the rodeo. MRS. MAXWELL and MRS. NEAL have now quit teaching and have joined the highway patrol. Their specialty is check- ing headlights and driver's license.

Big Sandy students take part in many activities in addition to earning their sixteen credits necessary for graduation. Drama, music, sports, paper, annual, twirling, F.H.A., F.F.A., and Pep Club are a few of the organizations in which a student may take part. Top ranking students are members of Honor Society. Future Teachers of America was organized this year for those students interest- ed in education. Each year the Honor Society sponsors a number of Dress-Up Days. It is making plans for the 1960 Homecoming Honor Society Luncheon.
