PROPHECY Of all these words which are now going to be said, we do not know which of them will be true - if any; but to give you an idea this is what we might do: First we see La Verne Blohm, who had always planned to be a chemistry teacher, Now with four children and married to a preacher. Next comes Della Bostic, better known as Rocky, Who has lost quite a few pounds and is now the world’s most fam- ous jocky. Bryce Clark, in his forestry class, was neither the best nor the poorest. Is now married to Lula and lives up in the forest. Now there is Jo Ann Clark who took journalism so she could write with a pen, But ended up out on the farm with dear little Glenn. Then there is Don Delmonico, the boy we thought so dear, Is having a jolly old time down in Duffys slinging beer. Ray Dietz, whose red hair always brought him fame. Is now shoveling coal on a choo--choo train. Next comes Ralph Foust who wanted to become a poet some day, Who is now a farmer, guess something changed his mind, could it have been Clara Mae ? Henry Geary’s name is now “Bachelor Hank’’, He is working like mad down in the Bridger Bank. In football Cliff Graham won high honors and great fame, He just won another game for Notre Dame. Bob Jurovich, famous for his muscles, Is still up to his old tricks, chasing bustles. Next we come to our missionary, Hermina Laber, Who iS over in China trying to be a good neighbor. Carol Loyning’s love for Jim never did fade. But we still don’t see how she turned out an old maid. Don Preuninger is still single and has a new Dodge, All we can say is “Look out Red Lodge.” George Preuninger has three sons and thinks it’s nifty, But is having a hard time teaching them to be thrifty. Dee (Pall Mall) Rowley, the classes’ worst pest, Is gaining honors at the Golden Horseshoe Burlesque. Betty Ryan, an old-maid planned to be, Has been married thrice and is only twenty-three. Chester Schwend went to college and stayed at Jumbo Hall, And is now All-American in football. Jack Teeples became a rancher, one of the best, Now he is known throughout the whole darn west. Henry Vanderloos became a speaker great, And is now the biggest politician in the states. Fred Wennemar, on the mound for Clevland, replaces Feller, Maybe that’s why they are always in the cellar. Last, but not least, there is Lillian Zier, who is only fifteen, She and Hersh were happily married the last time she was seen.

5 e N I R V MANY MOON6 HAVE NOW PA6$ED BEFORE WHICH TELL OF OUR DEED£. The Rising Warriors, with their tall proud braves; their in- dustrious, beautiful “maidens,” and their many hard fighting Scouts, have at last anticipated what they have been working for many, many, long moons. Yes, the “Rising Warriors” are ready togo out in the world to seek their “fortunes,” and to prepare for their tribes. On the second moon of the ninth month in the year of 1945, thirty “papooses” entered Bridger High for the worldman’s training of four long years. At first they learned the principle things, such as getting along with their brothers, preparing in the hard difficult signs of their language, and learning to work as good “sports, and teamsters.” Papoose Bill Ludwig was chosen to do the secretarial work. The papooses emerged the first year with no failures and took the summer off to “gather wisdom” for the year to come for “The Growing Redskins “The Growing Redskins” began the year with a good start, choosing B. Clark as the presiding officer, and Jo Ann Clark as secretary. This was a better year for them as they were beginning to get a look in with all the rest of the tribe. Twenty-one “Fighting Braves” returned the third year to continue their learning. Fighting Fred Wennemar was chosen Chief Officer as the “Fighting Braves” were almost blood brothers now, and Carol Loyning was chosen “Slate Keeper.” The “Fighting Braves” were almost superior now excelling the other classes in many of their jaunts. Their class play, “We Shook The Family Tree” and their banquet were on “Top of the Mountain,” along with their prom. The “Rising Warriors” were at last on their fourth year with 21 warriors preparing for the “Beginning of Life.” Her- mina Laber was chosen as president and Carol Loyning ”a- gain carried the slate. ” In all the activities the “Rising Warriors’ led. Their paper, “The Scout” was a great success and their class year book, “THE SCOUT,” was a sensation. They gave two plays this year, both which were a great success. was chosen as Valedictorian, with holding Salutatorian honors. AND SO WITH the world at our feet, and our hearts in our hands, We, the “Rising Warriors”, leave good Old Bridger High, to take our place with the PASSING PARADE. Sponsored by E. H.
