Here on the dust of countless ages past I stand; This moment is my life. All past is but a memory— The future, therefore, is only hope. Amid the towering peaks so cold, Serene and high Life is Eternal. The roaring river's at my feet, The sun, the moon, the stars, the sky— I am a part of all the universe. I am tomorrow's dust. Here on the dust of countless ages past I stand; This moment is my life. -S. R.

TABLE of CONTENTS lackfoct j5 cl|noI BLACKFOOT, IDAHO To the Senior Class of 1953: We, The Board of Education, take this opportunity to ex- tend our congratulations to the Senior Class of 1953. We hope the knowledge gained in your high school work will inspire you to seek further knowledge that you might prepare yourselves for the solution of the many problems facing your community, your state, your nation, and the world. Those of you who have taken part in the extra-curricular activities of your school, such as the edition of this yearbook, have already shown a willingness to assume responsibilities beyond your regular requirements. It is this willingness to do a little more than is required of you in your school today which will surely make you the leaders in your community tomorrow. With best wishes for a successful future. Sincerely yours, AUSTIN STOVER MELVIN WILCOX ALBERT CARLSEN M. A. GARDNER NEIL BITHELL WILLARD DANCE Clerk MARY FARRIS Treasurer ADMINISTRATION The strength of America lies in its youth, provid- ing that we Oldsters can set the proper pace and example. Greetings and best wishes to all the students of Blackfoot High School 1952-53. Very sincerely, CLIFFORD C. EVANS Superintendent Most of the progress in ways of peace and civilization has come out of confusing times such as these.

Secretary LLOYD BABBY___________________Representative During our years in Junior High, we all heard dire tales of what would happen when we en- tered Senior High School. Some of us were kind of worried all summer! Well, school started right on schedule and the initiation day loomed ahead. Initiation day was set early, thanks to the student officers—(maybe it was not thanks they received!). Initiation day arrived and we all trooped off to school, the boys in their nightgowns and the girls in their mule costumes. Zero hour came and a few Fresh- men received the treatment by some strong armed B Club and Pep Club members, all with paddles and all well skilled in the art of applying them to their best advantage. After this every- one was given a warm—a very warm—welcome into the student body. The day ended with a Student Mixer and as guests we had our real introduction to the social life of B.H.S. When we look back on it we are sure it was not as bad as we had anticipated. We are all happy now that we are members of the Student Body of B.H.S. PAUL KROGUE Freshman Editor At last!

President JOAN CHRISTIANSEN .... Vice President CHARLOTTE HANSON _________ Secretary VONETA ALLRED ________ Representative The year we dreamed of for so long finally came to pass, though it seemed only yesterday that we recalled our years in grade school. Junior High, and entered high school. Here, as Fresh- men, we were met with all the devilish pranks and tortures that the upperclassmen could devise. Then we were classed as the lowest; we have now come a long way and are upperclassmen. We realized that this should be more than just the name, so we have been proving ourselves worthy of it. Our members participated in a large part of the school's activities: athletics, music. debate, plays and have taken our share of scho- lastic honors. The Juniors won first prize for their float in the Homecoming Parade. The class spon- sored the beautiful and successful Junior Prom; and our play was described as outstanding by all who saw it. Working with our able officers and with the Sponsors, Mrs. Kotter, and Mr. Echevarria, we feel that it has been a most suc- cessful year for both the class and for the school. We all know that the memories, friends, and ac- quaintances which we have made this year at B.H.S. will always remain with us.

The Seniors of 1952-53 were determined to make this year's graduating class the most outstanding one in the history of Blackfoot High School. Under the leadership of very capable officers, they worked individually and as a group toward their goal. It has been a class active in sports, debate, drama, and music; they have also demonstrated initiative and a spirit of cooperation. In spite of a year crowded with activities and full schedules, the time passed so swiftly we can scarcely believe it. Now with feelings of regret mixed with joy, we leave the school and our personal associations that will always remain in our memories. We trust that the coming classes will be faithful to their obligations and to the spirit of Blackfoot High. A Section of SENIOR ENGLISH—Teacher, Colleen Bell.

Its purpose is to encourage creative speaking and to make better speakers. Our school has the honor of being in the limited number of schools having an N.F.L. Chapter. To qualify as a member of N.F.L., a student must have earned twenty points by participating in debates, speech contests, or service speeches. When he earns fifty points, he receives the Degree of Honor; one hundred points—the Degree of Excellence; two hundred points—the Degree of Distinction. Upon earning the Degree of Distinction, he is entitled to a two hundred dollar scholarship to Ripon University in Ripon, Wisconsin. N.F.L. is divided into districts. Our district includes Idaho, Utah, Montana, and Washington. Each district holds a speech tourna- ment annually. District N.F.L. or state winners are qualified to attend the National N.F.L. Tournament. Marilyn Bitton Marion DeKay Cecil Peterson A Model Debate Again this year, Miss Capellen turned out a top-notch debate squad. Due to her tireless work, B.H.S. now has two new permanent trophies and possesses, for the second time, a beautiful travelling trophy which has to be won once more by our school in order to be kept permanently. Four B.H.S. debaters made an especially good showing at the Weber Debate Tournament in Ogden, Utah. Out of ninety-eight teams in the Men's A Division Dale Baxter and Lloyd Jensen won first place. In the Women's A Division, Janet Hoover and Joan Fisher placed second out of ninety teams. At the District Debate Tournament in Pocatello, the Girls' Team, consisting of Joyce Ely and Alice Schindler took first place. The Boys' Team of Lloyd Jensen, Dale Baxter, Layne Hahn, and Dick Gibson came in second. At the State Meet, (also in Pocatello), the same teams placed second in both the Men's and Women's Divisions. (Continued, Page 70) The N.F.L. Tournament in Great Falls, Montana, was an outstanding climax to the Year's work. B.H.S. tied for first place for the sweepstakes trophy with Prosser, Washington and Logan, Utah. Individual winners were: Alice Schindler and Roger DeMordaunt, with first places in Girls' and Boys' Extemp; Dick Gibson, second place in Original Oratory; and Layne Hahn and Dick Gibson, third place in Debate. B.H.S. is proud to have four speakers to represent us at the National Speech Tournament at Denver, Colorado, in June of this year.

This year the unveiling of stu- dent talent was put on the fourth and fifth of December. Letters between Tony, a boy overseas, and Vicki, his sweetheart at home, provided the script and connected the seasonal scenes together. Summer came first with a hayride scene, full of fun and frolic— Second was Fall in a whirl of leaves, and a park bench with couples on it. Snow and ice brought Winter around, which joined in with the spirit. Spring was last, but not least, of all. A green up time we could call it. Approximately one hundred and twenty of our student body participated in this tremendous accomplishment. The show was a smashing success and well worth the time and effort.

It has served the school and the community by presenting school assemblies and free concerts for the public. The band gladly played while Santa Clause passed out gifts to the children at Christmas time, even though some thought that their instruments would freeze; and then it heralded the arrival of spring, by marching through town advertising the beginning of the Spring Festival.

Eiiaon, FUTURE FARMERS of AMERICA The F.F.A. celebrating its 25th year of service to agriculture this year was organized to develop leadership, good citizenship, and successful farming in youth. It is a national organization of and for farm boys studying vocational agriculture in public high schools. It was organized in Kansas City, Missouri, where the annual national convention is still held. Today more than 350,000 boys belong to the F.F.A. in all the states, plus Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The motto is Learning to do; doing to learn; earning to live; living to serve. The emblem of F.F.A. is; The Owl, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge; the plow, symbolic of labor and tillage of the soil; the rising sun, emblematic of progress; a crossection of an ear of corn, representing common agriculture interests—since corn is native to America and grown in every state,- and the eagle, indicating the national scope of F.F.A. program. Each local chapter has its own constitution and is run by the boys themselves. They hold monthly meetings at which parliamentary procedure is observed strictly and questions and problems are introduced and fully discussed, as well Pest Eradication—a public service pro- ject. WINNERS—Fir t, Billy Poulson; Second. Norman Mecham; Third, Gladwin Bithell. F.F.A. boys trimming shrubbery about the high school building. as our own local orogram. During the summer we contestants who have won out in chapter competition are sent to the state judging contests held at Moscow Idaho. These contests include nearly every phase of agriculture. When school starts in the fall, the greenhand initiation is held. This is the first degree in F.F.A. and is awarded to all first year members. Later in the year the second degree is awarded to second year members who qualified as follows: collected twenty-five dollars profit from a project; and led a group discussion for fifteen minutes; and have successfully carried out one year of vocational agriculture. We also exhibit livestock and crops at the Eastern Idaho State Fair. Contests, such as public speaking, parliamentary procedure and numerous others are held by the individual members during the year. We exhibit livestock at the Junior Fat Stock Show held at Idaho Falls. In the spring the Blackfoot Chapter hold a Parent and Son Banquet. Our officers for the year were: President, LaVerelle Stecklein; 1st Vice Presi- dent, Richard Neff; 2nd Vice President, LuDell Evans, 3rd Vice President, Leo Henscheid; Secretary, John Cannon; Treasurer, Larry Summers; Representative, Parley Payne; Sentinel, Daniel Warjack.

The Big Sisters annually sponsor the Turkey Hop, one of the school s most popular social activities. The club also presented an assembly program in wrich they cleverly depicted Days of Long Ago. B.

The members are proud of their organization whose purpose is: To create, main- tain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. This year the youth government legislature, sponsored by Y.M.C.A., was our chief interest.

We again participated in the youth govern- ment program, sponsoring five bills jointly with Tri-Hi-Y. Our delegates to Youth Legislature were: John Marlow, Speaker of the House; Jon Harward, Senator; Val Kesler, Sen.-Alternate; Normand Oldham, Representative; Danny Johnson, Rep.-Alternate. Hi-Y officers were: Normand Oldham, President; Leo Lowther, Vice President; Richard Olsen, Treasurer; Val Kesler, Secretary. Hl-Y DELEGATES TO YOUTH LEGISLATURE NORMAND OIDHAM ............... Representative JOHN MARLOW ................... Speaker of House DANNY JOHNSON ________________________ Alternate JON HARWARD ............................ Senator AS I SEE IT By Marilyn Bitton Realistic political situations were revealed at the Youth Legislature which was held at the State Capitol building in Boise, Idaho this year. Oratorical persuasion of zealous politicians over-balanced the sound reasoning of the more conservative element. Hence many bills were defeated because of very minor flaws. This emphasized the point that to be effective politically one must have a sound knowledge of facts and the ability to present them in a convincing manner as well as the ability to refute opposing forces. This is a realistic experience that every student should try to attain, to see how politicians work and how necessary it is to have upright, honest people working in politics. The delegates chosen by Tri-Hi-Y and by Hi-Y to represent Blackfoot High School had an experience in the business of government which they will always remember.

The High School news weekly is the Round Up. A procedure was followed this year as an experiment and also for the purpose of giving every member more thorough training in H. S. newspaper work. Instead of being assigned specific staff positions, staff members have rotated jobs, thus learning all phases of high school newspaper work. Everyone has served in every staff position. Members of the staff are; Marilyn Bitton, Judith Bush, Marian DeKay, Sharlene Hansen, Janeanne Hoit, Royce Johnson, Dean Judd, Richard Lindsay, Richard Olsen, Jane Ann Packham, Marlene Parker, Pat Shindurling, Vail Stewart, Georgia Thurman, Sylvia Wood and Jo Ann Benham,- staff adviser is Mrs. G. H. Powell. The Round Up, published by the Journalism class was given Second Class rating by three different national organizations to which our paper was sent for criticism: N.S.P.A., Univ. of Minn.; Quill and Scroll, Northwestern Univ.; and C.S.P.A., Columbia University. Achieving these awards on a national scale is a distinct honor. State wide, we hold an All State Superior rating from the journalism department of the Univ. of Idaho. From the Idaho State High School Press As- sociation the Round Up was given First Class rating. QUILL and SCROLL The INTERNATIONAL HONORARY SOCIETY for HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISTS was organized in 1929 with the purpose of promoting high school journalism. In order to join, a student must do outstanding work on one of the school publi- cations, either the Round Up or the Bronco, and receive a recommendation from the Sponsor which must be approved by the National Headquarters at the Uni- versity of Iowa. The Blackfoot Chapter has been inactive for many years, but now there is talk that our chapter will become active for the first time because of the large member- ship. When the chapter becomes active the members will choose a name for it, at the present time it is known as the Blackfoot Chapter of QUILL and SCROLL.

See how many of these you can remember. Our school year began with fall registration a week be- fore the opening date. At this time we saw our old friends from last year. Aug. 25th was the first day of school. It was an exciting time getting started in new classes and new courses. The school was overrun with an unusual number of Little Kids — Freshmen—who seemed forever getting lost and asking how to find a certain class. The month was a busy one also, in that all the clubs and activities were set in motion. Freshman initiation was held earlier than usual being two days after school started. Freshmen were running around wearing baby outfits and smeared with lipstick; carrying books and polishing shoes. In the evening they were well represented at the Freshman mixer. This class promises to be a lively one. Our first national assembly was on Aug. 28th. It took us up into the clouds in a program on aeronautics. Sept, brought in Primary elections for class officers and our first football game. It was held at Madison with a smashing victory for Blackfoot. Also in Sept. Student Council was organized for the coming year and the first Cabinet meeting was held Sept. 5th followed by the first Student Council meeting. Fair vacation broke into the routine of school the second week of Sept. Our second football game was at Aberdeen on Sept. 12th. An outstanding national assembly was ’prerented to us when Clyde and Joyce sang and danced for us. Joyce gave a wonderful reading, Sixteen. Sept. 19th Blackfoot High's team yielded to Preston but in a few days our team traveled to Hailey and made up for it. We held our annual Autumn Formal, sponsored by the I.V. Club, late in Sept. Again the Freshmen scored by having so many present at the first formal dance of the year. Sept. 29th, SIX WEEKS TESTS! Then our first REPORT CARDS! Oct. brought spud vacation lasting two weeks. In spite of the shortened school month football continued and two games, one with Montpelier here, and one with Idaho Falls were played. The 24th Blackfoot was host to Rupert in our annual home- coming game, which we won. We held a parade in the afternoon, the Junior Class took first place with their float. In the evening the gym was full of high spirited, happy students holding Blackfoot's homecoming dance. On the 31st of Oct. Malad was beaten by us, here. The first event in Nov. was a winter concert presented by the choir. Following this a P.T.A. meeting was held. A panel composed of students and parents and teachers discussed problems important to the home and school. Also in Nov. occurred the Sugar Salem football game and the annual Sadie Hawkins dance. What fun and what cos- tumes! On Armistice Day we were favored with an excellent Sky Assembly, presented by a well-known astronomer and the heavens were pictured most graphically. Our music students took four first chairs and three second chairs at the music clinic held in Pocatello on the 13th and 14th. A concert was presented by the band and choir the evening of the 14th concluding the two day clinic. That evening, also, was held the B Club dance. It was a dress- up dance and the boys were good hosts. The Freshmen class scored again in our first talent as- sembly November 10th as that class presented several very good numbers including a new so ist, Bert Byington, and two dancers, Donna and Dewayne. On the 22nd of Nov., Blackfoot shared in honors in the District One Act Play Festival. The Big Sisters gave us a very enjoyable assembly on the 26th followed by the Turkey Hop in the evening. Marilyn Bitton won the Turkey given away. Thanksgiving vacation, four days, gave us all a needed breather, for Dec., too, was to be a month full of action. The Jubilee, which had consumed so much time for re- hearsal, was presented Dec. 3rd. We shall always remember the work and the fun! Best of all everyone loved it and our student director, Margaret Johnson, received well deserved praise. Dec. 5th and 6th were the dates for regional One Act Play Festival. An archery assembly was enjoyed on the 9th and the following day we were entertained by the college band from U.S.A.C. A former Blackfoot High student is a member of this fine group. Dec. 10th opened Basketball season and cur time was really full with attending all home games and as many away from home as possible. Our band, cheerleaders, pep club, and twirlers participated wonderfully throughout the season. A fitting closing for Christmas vacation was the lovely Cantata presented by the High School Choir on the 20th of Dec. The theme was impressive and the stage setting most effective. Our basketball team traveled to Boise and Burley during Christmas vacation, and the Seminary sponsored the Christmas formal. Jan. 5th school reconvened, followed by these several basketball games—Idaho Falls, Preston, which we lost by only 3 points. Boxing started Jan. 12th followed by Crypt of Civiliza- tion National assembly telling of the amazing vault con- taining artifacts of today, which will be viewed by people 1000 years from now. Basketball with Snake River, a game we hate to loose was lost by us, but we won when we played a return game the 31st. The month of Feb. found B.H.S. excited and busy as it wound up the basketball season and boxing. We found little time for study as our grades and our teachers can testify. The band gave us a concert on the morning of the 13th that was one of their best. While they were playing, the R.O.T.C. boys from Brigham Young University came in and presented a program at the close of our band concert. No classes that morning! District debate held here Feb. gave many honors to Blackfoot. Then traveling to Logan our teams again won top place. A theatrical Make-up assembly came next and was en- joyed by all. Some of our own boys were made up to represent different personalities. The district basketball tournament was held in Pocatello the first week of March. Blackfoot played three games. On the 13th, Juniors favored us with a play called, Who's Afraid. In the evening the Seminary put on a grand per- formance of January Thaw. It was one of the most out- standing plays given in Blackfoot High. Next the speech students held district Declamation at West Side. State basketball tournament at I.S.C. gym took place from March 16th to 21st. The F.F.A. boys invited their parents to a banquet at Irving School March the 23rd. Firth presented an exchange assembly to us composed of an outstanding dramatic play and some musical numbers which we enjoyed. March 27th the Juniors sponsored the annual Junior Prom with Mood Indigo as the theme. It was enjoyed by all present. Also that day the Journalism students had a con- vention in Pocatello. The Regional Declamation held in Blackfoot and the trip taken by the Seminary to Rexburg completed the month of March. Early in April the Pep Club gave the B Club boys a banquet. A good dinner was served and a good program followed by dancing completed the evening. A national assembly featuring a cartoonist was given on the 2nd by the national assembly. B.H.S. held their Primary elections and General elections this month and Mark Fullmer, Douglas Johnson, Helen Hook, and Gary Walker will lead B.H.S. next year. The Spring Vacation suited everyone! The Quill and Scroll held their Initiation on April 8. On April 8th the exchange assembly traveled to Firth, Snake River and Junior High. State Debate was held at Pocatello this week end and at the same time the Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y delegates attended Youth Legislature in Boise. To make a full week the commercial classes attended the contest at Rick's college and did very well. Doris Larson won a scholarship. Snake River brought their exchange assembly to us on the 11th and gave a cute skit. Blackfoot's music students made an excellent record at the district music festival in Grace. In athletics, baseball and track are keeping a large number of boys busy. The N.F.L. students left for Great Falls early Sunday morning. The Senior Play was next in order. The Seniors gave a wonderful bit of entertainment in their play June Mad. At the invitation track meet held April 24th our boys represented B.H.S. well. The Seniors elected Sharlene Hanson as their candi- date for Campus queen when the class were guests of I.S.C. at Pocatello on Campus Day, April 24th. All had a glorious time. Sharlene was chosen to be an attend- ant to the queen. Blackfoot High Band started May out wonderfully by taking honors at the music festival. Girls' Day was celebrated all day Friday, May 15th ending with a dance that evening. Seminary graduation was held Sunday, May 7th. The following day the band gave a concert, sponsored by the Lions Club. This club will send the band to Sun Valley for two days of fun. Thursday the Choir concert was presented, Mr. Lambson conducting. Last days comprised the Senior Ball, sponsored annu- ally by the Elks Club; the Senior breakfast held at the American Legion dining hall; Baccalaureate Services, at which Father Verhoeven gave a final impressive address to the Senior Class; and Commencement Exercises held May 27th with Margaret Johnson and John Marlow presiding.
