The years have been kind to the members of the class as can readily be seen from these items clipped from various daily news- papers the world over. Spokane, Wash. Odds'n Ends- 'The Gerrard Fashionshop' is being patronized by the prominent gentlemen of the city. The other day a young woman looking for a womans' store inquired Is this for men or ladies? Delores seems to be quite the Gal...fAs I remember she wasn't so quiet her senior year--the Chocolate Shop held her interests then., Los Angeles, Calif. Mike Notes-Violet Reid, formally of North Dakota is to be the star of the Music Hour over NBC the first Sunday in january. Every one will remember that Miss Reid started on her way to success on the Horace Hiedt's Original Youth Opportunity Program . Chicago, Ill. Science Notes-Donald Lien, famous aviator, has succeeded in flying to Mars. Don stated that he would like to spend his next vacation there regardless of the difference in civilization. fAh! the boy that wasn't going to have anything to do with farmingj Fargo, N. Dak. Farm Reports-Pres., V. H. Wibe of the N.D.A.C. reports that on his experiment farm he has had the largest number of bushels per acre--No wonder Mr. Wibe is the only college president operating new Super Sonic Six. Geneva,fSwitzerland News Flashes-It is reported that the famous artist from North Dakota has finally succeeded in finding a scene to paint. Miss Foss will be remembered by the painting 'Spring at the old Soo Bridge' which is on display in the assembly of the high school she attended. Ketchikan, Alaska Coast Guardian-Mr. Kenneth Pollestad, radio operator here is planning to goto the states to bring back his wife Miss Betty Lou Gerrard. Its rumored that he and Betty were high school sweethearts. fThe most restless of the class that is the one that was not going to let any one else run her life. I guess she didn'tj Las' Vegas, Nev. Las Vegas Star-The K Bar A Ranch has been the scene of much excitement. The owner, JoAnne Anderson, has been entertaining many of her friends from all over the United States. New York, N. Y. Student Notes-The students of the world will be very gladlthat Lyle Westemeier succeeded in his invention of the new reader. This reader makes it possible for the boys to play kittenball and know their lessons when class time comes. It goes over the lessons and records the main-details. fToo bad Lyle didn't have it when he went to schooll. Any similarity between this prophecy and the' future lives of the students of the class of '49 is purely coincidental. 4 10 V X W CLASS 1-nsroRY Some time ago, about the year 1937, Yvonne Gores, Taletta Foss, Violet Reid, and Donald Lien entered the doors of the Bisbee School to be greeted by Miss Hogen who was to be our teacher during this year. During the course of the year Yvonne and Violet had many arguments over who was going to marry the only boy of the class, Donald, when they got older. In the second grade Miss Evensizer was our teacher. It was during this year that Yvonne Gores and JoAnne Anderson turned their interests back to two cute little first grade boys Curtis Larson and Gilbert Nelson. Miss Anderson was our teacher during the 3rd and 4th grades. In the Sth grade Miss Riten was our instructor. Miss Aljets taught us during the 6th grade. Verlin Wibe, being a very naughty boy in the 5th and 6th grades, was often made to stand in the corner, but as soon as the teachers back was turned you could see Verlin sneaking back to his seat. It was this year too that the girls enjoyed snow- balling the boys, playing tackle, and being rough-necks. Our 7th grade teachers were Mrs. Shervold and Mrs. Thompson. The 8th grade teachers were Mrs. Delvo and Mrs. Ertresvog. By the time the class reached the 8th grade it had increased to 10 members, consisting of Donald Lien, Yvonne Gores, Violet Reid, Harold Gores, Taletta Foss, Verlin Wibe, Willard Bierman, Joyce Pilloud, JoAnne Anderson, and Delores Gerrard. In june 1945 these members had completed their required course in grade school. All of us being such studious H1 persons we all entered high school the following term During the Freshman year all the girls fell madly in love with the handsome new Freshman boy Lyle Westemeier. Of course JoAnne thought that she had him ready to twist around her little finger because, of course, you know, she knew him before. The Sophomore year brought bashful f?j Kenneth Pollestad into our midst. It was during this romantic year that we initiated the Freshmen Class. Such Fun I I 1 During the junior year the class very enthusiastically entered into a class play called Room No. l3 . In the spring the class put on a very nice junior- Senior class banquet and prom. The theme we used for the prom was Hawaiian. The Senior year has finally been reached. This year has been one of the most exciting that we have experienced. We have, with the aid of some of the juniors put out the school paper and have published a school annual. We all hope to go out into the world and reach the highest point of our ambitions, in this way making this world a better one in which to live. V A The following instructors have been our high school teachers: Mr. Sagen, Miss Ahlberg, Mr. Storlie, Mrs. Traynor, Miss Watts, Mr. Ulland, Mr. Melsted, Miss Greiner, Mr. Bretheim, Mr. Grande, and Mr. Stanton. Il CLASS WILL We, the senior class of 1949, of the city of Bisbee, County of Towner, and state of North Dakota, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament. hereby revoking any will or wills heretofore made by us. To the junior Class, who will follow in our footsteps, we will our dignity and self respect. Sophomores we honor you by willing our ability to conduct a class meeting in a noisy way. To the Freshmen class we will our ability to cut up. Violet Reid wills her many parking places to Carol Lee. fDon't be bashful Carol., 'l o Bertha Erickson she wills her basketball ability. Donald Lien wills his shy disposition around women to Vernon Koester. To Howard Gerrard he wills his good marks in Chemistry. JoAnne Anderson wills her chatter to joan Gerrard, and to Bobby Keller she wills her ability to get in and out of trouble. Verlin Wibe wills his height and build to Lawrence Bonn, and his car to Walter Bierman. fWhich car?l Delores Gerrard wills her feminine blush to Verna Fruck, and her slick figure to any one in the market for it at this time. Lyle Westemeier wills to Lawrence Brannon his wavy hair, and his clear complection to Lauritz Berg. Taletta Foss wills her love of dancing to Merdith Stanton in hopes she will find the feeling mutual, and her missed baskets in basketball to someone who can make them in the future years. -Kenneth Pollestad wills his good times to Roger Warner and his cute little maroon jeep to anyone able to keep it on the road the way Kenny did. Also all our old notes, excuse slips, spitballs, rubber bands, and other equipment that give the teachers such a headache--these above-stated things we leave to you--our beloved underclassmen. 12 w f ' I ANNUAL STAFF ROOM NO. 13 PLAY CAST INFORMER STAFF 13 NT- .1-...+ve----1-' - i- , ANNUAL STAFF Editor ------------------ Taletta Foss Business Manager-- --JoAnne Anderson Photography ---------- Delores Gerrard Class Representative-Kenneth Pollestad Sports ------------------ Donald Lien Music ------- ---- L yle Westemeier Activities - - ------- Verlin Wibe Typist ---- - - - Violet Reid Adviser ---------------- Mr, Melsted INFORMER STAFF Editor in Chief ------------ Violet Reid Associate Editor ----- Marlene Schmidt News Editor --------- JoAnne Anderson Sports- Editor ---------- -Stuart Larson Exchange Editor ---- -Betty Lou Gerrard Cartoonist ------------- Verna Fruck Club Editor ----- ---- D elores Gerrard Humor Editor ------------ Taletta Foss Business Manager --------- jack Stanton Reporters ---------- Lawrence Brannan Walter Bierman David Bretheim Betty Geisen Hiram Maler William Pickard Vernon Koester Latane Vote Verlin Wibe Kenneth Pollestad .

FRESHMAN CLASS r In the Freshman Class there are Z1 members. The class officers were elected as follows: President ---------------- Robert Loe Vice-President ---------- Dick Benson Secretary-Treasurer-Dorothy Oakland Adviser ----------------- lvlr. Melsted On November 2, 1948 we were initiated by the Sophomore Class. The boys were dressed like girls with women's hats, the girls were dressed like boys with their clothes on backwards. We also had to carry a glass of water with two tooth- picks in it all day. The Freshman Class plans to sell pop and candy at every other basketball game. , There are 7 students in the school band and 5- in the beginners band from the Freshman Class. All the girls are out for girls basketball and eight of the boys are out for boys basketball. Dorothy Oakland was our carnival queen candidate. She was also crowned queen the evening of the carnival. ' SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADES This year there have been twenty-two pupils in the seventh and eighth grade room. Nine of these pupils have been in the seventh grade, and the other thirteen have been in the eighth grade. This has been ,a very busy year for all. Besides ' doing the usual studying, many have taken part in the extra-curricular activities along with the high school. Nineteen of this group are in the high school chorus, eight are in the band, and three have been practicing in the beginner's band. Six of the boys have been out for junior basketball and four of the girls have been junior cheerleaders. The seventh graders have another year to look forward to in the same room, but the eighth graders find themselves on their final steps toward high school. To them it hardly seems possible they have passed through three stages in school already--the primary, intermediate, and finally the grammar grades. Only eight are left of the original class of fifteen pupils who began their first day of school in 1941. They are Darleth Bierman, Dorothy Cookman, Vivian Gerrard,,Bil1y Hendrickson Charlotte Ke11er,5Jacky Kristensen, james Larson, and Richard Lien. Elaine Lee joined the group in the third grade and in the fourth grade Marjorie,Gerrard was added to the enrollment.. Sheldon Schmidt and Lydia Westemeier came to'Bisbee in the fifth grade, and Alf 'Pollestad joined the class for the eighth grade. They have enjoyed their grade school days, but are looking forward tograduation and to high school. 19 I 2-X CONCERT BAND Standing: Rayrnond Larson, Margaret Berg, Betty Lon Gerrard, Marlene Schrnidt, Betty Geisen, Lawrence Brannan, Bobby Keller, Latane Vote, Allan Anderson, Andrew Gerrard, Vernon Koester, Donald Kolberg, Hillman Nelson, Mr. Melsted, Director.

N, 1 ., THE BAND The Bisbee Band, under the direction of Mr. Melsted, now consists of 41 members. The new members include Dorothy Oakland, Marilyn Christofferson, Lloyd Berg, and Raymond Larson. Those not appearing in the Band picture are: Roger Warner, Alice Keller, and Charlotte Keller. ,. During the winter and summer months the Band has been very active. It has made several home and out of town appearances. On Saturday nights the Band marched through the streets, and stopped at different sections of the town and played. Our first out of town concert was held at Edinburg where both the band and chorus took part. Here in Bisbee we supplied music for the Farmers Union, International Day, and Memorial Day. On july Z, the Band marched through the streets of Cando stopping at the intersections and playing a few numbers, we then proceeded to the fair grounds where we entertained the people there. On july 5, the Band went to Egeland to entertain the people at the big Egeland Day that was held there. The Band was given a trip to Langdon by the business men of Bisbee on july 31. We marched through the streets stopping to play several times. After having lunch we re- turned home During the colder months the band supplied music for the home basketball games, and will also provide music for the home basketball tournaments. Future plans of the Band includes: a concert presented here in Bisbee, and playing at the district and county music festivals. Q Again this year the Seniors in the band were awarded gold band sweaters. The sweaters had a green letter B on them and three green bars on the one sleeve. The beginners band consists of the following students: Vivian Gerrard, Richard Lien, Dorothy Oakland, Marilyn Christofferson, Keith Lien, Lloyd Berg, Raymond Larson, Theone Fosberg, Bruce Scobba, Ronald Ellingson, Merfdith Stanton, Wilma Johanson, Bobby Gault, Kermit Edwards, Harry Abercrombie, Harvey Held, Bartley Held, and Margaret Berg. Delores Gerrard has been the student instructor for the reed section and Violet Reid has been the student instructor for the brass section. ZZ l 1 VOCAL DEPARTMENT The vocal department had a successful 1947-48 school year culminating with high honors at the state music contest in Grand Forks. Every phase of the department was represented at the district contest in Devils Lake, which preceeded the state contest and picked contestents from this district for the state contest, but not all phases of our department had as favorable success. Those taking high honors, superior ratings, from our school were the boys' glee club, the girls' glee club, mixed chorus, and Marlene Schmidt, who competed against all class A, B, and C contestants in the alto voice division. ' Due to the size of our school, all large groups competed in class C. All schools with less than 100 students enrolled in the high school were placed in class C. Our group had to enter the same division, Class C, in the state as well as in the district contest. The mixed chorus received the highest rating given mixed chorus in our class at the state contest--a superior rating. The boys' glee club was not an undisputed winner but it did tie for first place. Of these honors our students, our school, and our com- munity can be justly proud. Our vocal department was greatly enlarged this year by the addition of the seventh and eighth graders. This was made possible through a ruling passed at a music masters meeting held in the fall of 1948 at Devils Lake. It was decided that talent from lower grades could be used in vocal work as well as it had been used in instrumental work previously. This is definitely to our advantage for with a larger number of good voices better tone can be achieved. We now have fifty seven voices in our mixed chorus, twenty nine voices in our male chorus, and twenty eight in our ladies chorus. The choral effects which can be accomplished with this size group make the music much more thrilling for the singers as well as for the listeners. The vocal departments in the high school and the grades presented their second annual Christmas concert this year. All students in the Bisbee School took part in the program. White vestments were worn to dress up the group. The numbers which were presented all centered around the theme of Christmas. Highlight of the concert was the massed choir singing the old familiar carols. 155 students took part in the -' community's highlight of the Christmas season. E The vocal groups, as well as solo students, are now working on their numbers for the county music festival which will be held in Cando on the 8th day of April. We . will use the same numbers at the county festival as we will use at the district contest. The Bisbee community can be proud of their school's music department. All . divisions of the department have made great progress. With the cooperation of all, this' school will again have a banner year in music.

This was by far the best game of the tournament because it was anybodys game until the last minute of play. Cando went on to win the championship and Bisbee received third place by easily defeating Egeland 32-22. Curtis Larson and Vernon Koester were elected on the all county team. On Feb. Znd the Chiefs continued their winning ways by defeating a strong St. Slphonsos team from Langdon by a score of 39-32. Bisbee High Schools team will practically all return since Hiram Maler is the only squad member that graduates this year. So Bisbee will again have a strong team in 49-50 28 ' ix 1948 FOOTBALL SEAS ON The '48 football season opened with fifteen inexperienced boys showing up for practice. After two weeks of practice, a game was played with St. Marys of Devils Lake in which the Chiefs were defeated Sl-0. But this did not discourage the boys--in another week they played Rolla and lost 18-O. But the team had improved greatly over their first game. In one of their best games of the year the Chiefs held the highly rated Cando Cubs on even terms for three quarters but in the last quarter Coach Ulland sent in his reserves and the heavier Cubs scored three more touchdowns to win Z5-6. The Chiefs defeated Belcourt Z6-13, and Rolette twice by 54-0 and 19-6. In the last game of the season they lost to Rolla 24-12. The team showed fight and a great deal of spirit during the entire season and improved greatly on offense and defense. With some additional equipment to work with Bisbee in l949 should be one of the stronger teams in this district--with all team men ,ers returning except Hiram Maler for 1949. As for the seasons' record of four losses and three wins Bisbee can be very proud considering this the first year Bisbee had football on a regular basis since 1920. Fifteen new football uniforms were purchased to start out the 1948 season. These uniforms were purchased from the Northern School Supply at Minot. The uniforms were issued to Curtis Larson, Walter Bierman, Ronald Scobba, Gilbert Nelson, Dick Benson, Duane Markwardt, William Gores, james Keller, Ronald Wibe, Donald Kolberg, Jacky Neameyer, Hiram Maler, David Bretheim, Robert Loe, and Richard Klier. A few more of the boys were interested in football this year but due to the shortage of uniforms they were unable to participate. It is the intentions of the school to order a few more new uniforms for the 1949 season so that everyone who is interested will have a chance to participate in the game. Walter Bierman and Curtis Larson did a splendid job as co-captains for the 1948 football season. 29 --. .,......N . ..n-- V, V 1 W 1 BISBEE SEXTETE Marlene Schxnidt, BE'ft?1.T:u Gerrard, Merdith Stanton, Violet Reid, Taletta Foss, Verna Fruck.

Last season they practiced about three weeks and then entered the county tournament at Cando. Due to lack of experience the girls were rated as the poorest team entering the tournament but to the surprise of most fans they gave Cando a very tough game and beat Rock Lake in the consolation game. Shortly after the tournament, basketball letters, with gold basketball and stripe attached, were ordered and about a month later they were awarded to the following girls: Marilyn Christofferson, Solveig Erickson, Taletta Foss, Verna Fruck, Betty Lou Gerrard, Delores Gerrard, janet Hendrickson, LaVerne O'Brian, Ann Lang, Violet Reid, and Marlene Schmidt and Betty Geisen. This year eighteen girls turned out for practice. They have worked diligently at the few practices they have been able to hold. Naturally they are as yet very inexperi, enced but they will be a much stronger team when tournament time rolls around in March than they were last year. p Teams the Bisbee Sextette is playing this year are Cando, Egeland, Munich, and Rock Lake. Following is a list of the players on this years roster: Marilyn Christofferson, Rose Erck, Taletta Foss, Verna Fruck, Betty Geisen, Betty Lou Gerrard, Delores Gerrard, Wilma Johanson, Dorothy Oakland, Violet Reid, Geraldine Schmidt, Marlene Schmidt, and Merdith Stanton. JUNIOR BASKETBALL The members of the junior Basketball Team are: 'Jacky Neameyer, Dick Benson, Bobby Keller, Bartley Held, Laurence Bonn, Charles Auka, Harvey Held, Sheldon Schmidt, Billy Hendrickson, Richard Lien, james Larson, and Edward Brannan. The towns which the team have played are the following: St. Annes, Leeds, Rolla, Rolette, and Belcourt. The juniors have lost only one game and that was toLeeds. They played a return game with Leeds later on and won by a score of 30-28. This was a very close game and the players were matched very well. Next year the junior team will lose several of their present players. They are as follows: Jacky Neameyer, Dick Benson, Bobby Keller, Bartley Held, Laurence Bonn, Charles Auka, and Harvey Held. 31 X5 SCHOOL FU-N N joAnneg You don't have to go to Yellowstone to see Old Faithful.

That man descended from our noble race. Why, the very idea! It's a dire disgrace! No monkey ever deserted his wife, Starved her baby or ruined her life, And you've never knowh a mother monk To leave her young with others to bunk, Till they scarcely knew their mother. 'S VIEWPOINT And another thing you'll never see A monkey should build a fence around a cocoanut tree, And let the cocoanuts go to waste Forbidding all other monkeys a taste, Why, if I build a fence around this tree, Starvation would force you to steal from me, Here's another thing a monkey won't dot , Go out at night and get on a stew I Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss, But brother, he didn't descend from us 9 When you STOP to think, don't forget to START again. Father: Who broke that chair in the living room last evening ? Daughter: 'It just collapsed all of a sudden, father, but neither of us were hurt? Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went--she was followed by a wolf. He:'E'I've changed my mind? ' She:Well does it work any better ?' johnny: 'Why do they put telephone wires on such high poles, Father ? Father: Oh, that's to keep up the conversation.
