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.

- 4- CLASS PR OPHEC Y Ten years have slipped past since the class of 1949 was dismissed from its four year abode in Bisbee High School. 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
