The senior class of l9L9 entered the Box Elder High School in the fall of 1945 with an enrollment of seven. As green freshmen we were subjected to many embarassing experiences that supposedly constitute initiation. We got through that with flying colors and recovered without any mishaps. Later in the year we lost one member when Delia Crosswhite withdrew from school. As sophomores, we started with five members only to lose Earny Faechner who joined the Army. Our sole activities that year con- sisted of initiating the freshmen and sponsoring several mixers. The next fall found us entering our junior year with many plans for the social events annually sponsored by the junior class. Agnes Faechner did not return for her junior year, but the addition of two new members, Freda Turner and Lewis Dielman, increased our number to six. Sarah Rosette was married before the end of the school term and left us minus one more. How as 'Mighty' Seniors with a class of ten, we are looking for- ward to the Junior Prom, Sneak Day, the Junior-Senior Banquet and the Commencement Exercises. We are proud of the fact that our class will be the largest that has graduated from this high school in many years and we are looking to the future with many hopes and varied ambitions for future success. --Wilma Nolan and Eileen Hobbs nnuaf Sfaff EDITOR-in-CHIEF --------------------- Eileen Hobbs Assistant Edit0P ---------------- P Mary Ann Cgrgqrgn Business Manager .--..-........-..-- - .Wilma Nolan Athletics -------- - - - - - -Russell Hoffman E Bert Corcoran Activities ---------------------- Bernice Sangrey Humor ------------------ - ------ Lewis Dielman Typists -------- Freda Turner, Bernice Sangrey and Eileen Hobbs Advisor -------------------- Miss Evelyn Mansfield

CEEBEQSS tlfyvoqcfgecylb While I was gazing out of the window of my down town office in New York, I kept thinking about Box Elder High School and my form- er classmates. The last I had seen of them was in l9L9. A lot of things can happen in eleven years, so I decided since this was the time of the year when I usually took my vacation I would look up my former classmates. The first place I went was Havre, Montana where I found Wilma Nolan who was now Director of Nurses at the Nolan Santuary, a new hospital that was erected in her honor, I spoke to her about having a reunion dinner and she obligingly off- ered to have it at her home. While Wilma and I waited for the others to arrive we discussed our personal affairs and, just as I was about to tell Wilma that she had changed a lot in the last eleven years, Eileen Hobbs walk- ed in looking radiantly happy. She told me she was doing quite well. While we were 'making with the conversation' Freda Turner, Lewis Dielman, Maxine St. Pierre, Lucy Parker, Bernice Sangrey, Russell Hoffman, and my brother, Bert came in and each told of his success. kugy Parker is now a laboratory tech. at Mayo clinic in Rochester, inn. Freda Turner who was always quiet and shy in school is now a pri- vate secretary for John Powers of the Powers Model Agency. Maxine St. Pierre had become a dental nurse and is now a lieuten- ant in the womens' nursing corps. Bernice Sangrey who was always musically inclined is now on the teaching staff of the Julliard Institute. Lewis Dielman had attended an agricultural college and is now man- ager of an experimental station. Russell Hoffman had joined the Navy after graduation and is now an Admiral on the U.S.S. Montana. Bert Corcoran who always had a knack for basketball is now playing professional ball with the New York Knickerbockers. --.Mary Ann Corcoran HIGH POINTS OF THE YEAR When five pep club girls went to Hingham and came home bruised but happy.
