Laura Clement President ------ Clement Hobbs Vice President ---- Agnes Stewart Secretary Treasurer-Beverly Prather Advisor ----- Mr. Th mas Corbett l We The senior class of 1950 graduated from the eighth grade with only four students, Clement Hobbs, Beverly Prather, Agnes Stewart, and Laura Williamson. As we entered high school as green freshmen, we were happy to know that two new students had joined us. They were Norda Jones and David Belcourt, but later David left us. We were initiated and a mixer was given afterward in our honor. The next year we gained three new members, Bob Pullin, Jack B ownell, and B ian McBride, but lost Jack later. We initiated the freshmen that year and gave a few mixers. During our junior year we were again down to four members for we lost Bob Pullin, Brian McBride and Norda Jones. We sponsored a 'Thanksgiving dance and a St, Patrick's dance the first part of the year. In the spring we gave the Junior Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet, which were both huge successes. Now, as seniors, the same four students who graduated from the eighth grade together are all looking forward to the activities of this year which are Senior Sneak Day, Junior Pr m, Junior-Senior Banquet, and Commencement Ever- cises. --by Agnes Stewart Class Colors ----- Blue Q Silver Class Flower ------- Red Rose Class Motto-Bl, B , Bt but never B .

In class l96O I decided that because lO years had passed since the of 1950 of the Box Elder High School had been graduated there should be a reunion, and what was a better place than Miami Beach Florida? So, I wrote to my fellow students of 1950. I took my vacation at this time where I was a secretary to the Don Juan of the year in Upon my arrival the arrival of the bell hop brought me and would soon come Hollywood. at Miami, I went down to the beach to await other three. I had not long to wait, for a a message that Clement Hobbs was at the hotel down to the beach. Clement, I found, had be- come the most wealthy land owner in the Northwest, owning huge expanses of land in Montana. As we were talking, Beverly Prather stepped up and spoke to us. She had just arrived when Laura Williamson walked up as small in stature as ever. Beverly, who had always been interested in adventure, had become an ambassador to Algeria. She said her work was very interesting and had been made possible because of her high school French course. Laura was now in St. Louis, where she had gone after graduating from high school. She had taken a course in blood technology and was now in charge of a huge labor- atory in that city. After getting acquainted again we went out to a delicious dinner. --by Agnes Stewart
