At this meeting the following officers were elected: H. F. Uhlrich, president; Mrs. Myron Hicks, vice-plesident; E. T. Sommerfeld, second vice-president; Mrs. Maurice Johnson, treasurer; and R. J. Buller, secretary. The purpose of the association is to bring parents and teachers closer together in their solving and under- standing of the problems of modern education so that they can cooperate for the benefit of the young people of the community. Various subjects discussed included school finance, grading system, modern teaching methods, and many other related problems. Good entertainment and refreshments were included in each meeting. After getting off to a good start this year, the group is looking forward to further success in the future.

The grade school basketball team had a fair season placing fourth in the grade tournament held here and winning seven of eleven pre-tournament games. In tournament, in which Joliet took first and Columbus second, Bridger was edged out of third place by (this is going to sound familiar) one point by Belfry. Scores of games were as follows: SEASONAL Bridger 15 Belfry 13 Bridger 17 Edgar 12 Bridger 20 Edgar 12 Bridger 22 Red Lodge 15 Bridger 13 Columbus 16 Bridger 17 Joliet 38 Bridger 23 Joliet 31 Bridger 25 Columbus 26 Bridger 23 Park City 5 Bridger 34 Red Lodge 21 Bridger 22 Park City 18 TOURNAMENT Bridger 30 Edgar 12 Bridger 22 Columbus 30 Bridger 19 Belfry 20 Better luck next year, Papooses.

The physical education department this year included various activities for those boys who did not letter in major athletic events but who need physical training nevertheless. Under the direction of William H. Grobe they took part in the following: touch football, basketball, basketball s k i 11 s, volleyball, horseshoe, ring tennis, boxing, wrestling, minor tumbling, soft- ball, and hiking. The department has been striving to reach the following goals: maximum physical development, good health, and sound moral character. This page is sponsored by BRIDGER REXALL DRUG.

The Scouts showed great power at times, making large scores and hold- ing their opponents down. Defensive and offensive teams were used by coaches Bill Grobe and Ray Collins. A lthough Bridger is losing James Anderson, Delno Anderson, Albert Laber, Art Bonar, Leonard Kroll, and Lawrence Heiser, all lettermen, through graduation, prospects are good for afine team next year. James Anderson and A lbert Laber were elected co-captains for the season. The letter awards were present- ed to lettermen at the football ban- quet sponsored by the Lions' Club.

The Bridger Scouts, coached by Mr. Grobe, had a very successful season this year in basketball as they took second place in district six competition. They feel very proud to think that they lost to the state champions, the Belfry Bats, by one point. Next year the Scouts should fare very well as the squad loses only four boys: F. Peterson, J. Anderson, D. Anderson, and L. Heiser, and has three of the starting lineup, Wennemar, Larsen and Ryan, returning.

One high light of the evening was a short skit representing a lazy negro and his bossy wife, Mr. Buller and Mr. Gaudin being the characters in this maudlin miniature minstrel. Mr. Grobe then awarded letters to the following: Delno Anderson, James Anderson, Lawrence Heiser, Franklin Peterson, Dick Preuninger, Rhiney Laber, Bob Larsen, Bill Ryan, Robin Voight, Howard Hennebry, Jim Stiert, and Ray Wennemar. The Scouts wish to thank the Lions' Club for the many cour- tesies they have extended the athletic department, during the past year, and hope to merit such generous cooperation in years to come.

The squad including Freshmen Hein, Voight, Thormahlen, and Zinne; Sophomores Kucera, Geiger, Jonas, Holm, Johnson, Lehman, Blohm, and Currie; and Junior Lollar, has contributed a great deal toward the training and development of play- ers who can help fill the gaps left by main string graduates, and to provide solid practice competition for the A squad.

Starting in November, the group organized and chose as its officers, Frances Wennemar, president; Marjorie Lollar, vice-president; and Judy Price, secretary. The group was established with a two-fold purpose: to give every girl in high school an opportunity to participate in some form of athletic activity, and to allow those with extremely athletic inclinations and abilities to letter through the winning of a certain number of points. Activities in which the girls participated and made points included: softball, soccer ball, volleyball, basketball, tennis, ring tennis, square dancing, modern dancing, calisthenics, posture training, groom- img, and hiking, plus several individual sports. Although it has been found that a revision of the point system may be necessary next year, a fine start has been made by this youthful and vital organization. •favorite Athletic Activities G. A. L.

The student body of the Bridger high school elected Albert Laber, president; George DeRudder, vice- president; and Jean Anderson, secretary-treasurer, to head the student council for their school year of 1951-1952. Each class was also represented by two delegates who were as follows: seniors, Mary Ellen Bieber, Law- rence Heiser; juniors, Susan Johnson, Rex Newhouse; sophomores, Betty Dietz, Alvin Rangitsch; freshmen, Beverly Butkay, Jerry Voight. The student council, although eager and ready to help in the democratic government of student affairs, found that the year went so smoothly that they were called upon only twice, to plan the Christmas party, and to make regulations causing the lunchroom to function more smoothly. Their theory was Ruskin’s, that, Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know; it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave. Qftusk SENIOR BAND TRI-COUNTY BAND FESTIVAL BRIDGER COLUMBUS The music department is very proud of the ratings received at the Billings' Music Festival this spring, as the band received an excellent plus, the highest rating given any band from a class C school, a cappella received a superior or highest rating regardless of class, and girls' glee club received a good. In addition to these honors the band is proud of sponsoring three successful innovations: the Tri- County Band Festival, held here April 25; the Sadie Hawkins dance, and the Minstrel Show. Also, their part in the Christmas program, band shows at games, and Spring Concert gave their audiences many thrilling musical moments. Officers chosen by the group for the year were Susan Johnson, President; Judy Price, Vice President; Wayne Zinne, Secretary-Treasurer. i This page is sponsored by OHIO OIL COMPANY Music Activities Juture Jarmers Third row, left to right: Butkay, Baumann, F.

The Camera Club, sponsored by Mr. Ray Collins, is a new organization at Bridger High School this year, but has progressed so rapidly that it seems destined to become one of the permanent organizations here. The club has shown initiative in promoting the building and equipping of a dark room, in sponsoring a snap-shot contest, and in providing many fine pictures for the annual. The club is very useful as it gives students good training and experience in a very fasci- nating hobby--photography. This year's officers are: Howard Hennebry, president; Delno Anderson, vice-president; and Jean Anderson, secretary-treasurer.

GRANDAD STEPS OUT The junior class presented an amusing comedy, Grandad Steps Out. This play is a farce in which Howard Hennebry, an appealing Grandad, and an invalid according to his daugh- ter, sneaks out to substitute a longed-for steak for his diet of soup and crackers. His evening out upsets the entire household from the grandson in whose clothes he escapes to his daughter who is sure he is kidnapped. But a long summary is unnecessary as neither cast nor audience will soon forget how much fun they had when Grandad stepped out. MR.

This was a tense play that attracted the audience’s interest at the very beginning, and held it until the final, surprising moment. The plot revolved around Verona Kemp, an old maid piano teacher, who was trying to drive her sister-in-law insane, so Verona could have Evan, her nephew, to herself. The climax came when Verona herself went mad. The play, written by Robert St. Clair, and under the direction of Miss Blazich, was presented on April 4, to an appreciative audience.

This dance will become an annual affair. junior Prom BOYS DECORATING GIRLS DECORATING LA MONT QUINTET Using the theme, The Old Lamplighter, the ingenious juniors turned the gym into a lovely setting for the many who attended. Shades of blue blended with other pastel colors to form a background for Old Lamplighter silhouettes. An impressively beautiful grand march led by junior and senior class officers and partners added much to the occasion. A basic part of the evening's festivities was the lamp- lighting music of the Mel Gaudin's torchy LaMont Quintet. Both dancers and spectators enjoyed this prom immensely. WELCOME ADDRESS: SALUTATORIAN PETERSON FAREWELL ADDRESS: VALEDICTORIAN DAWSON COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS: THE REVEREND T. F. RUTLEDGE BEAL Commencement! The fitting ending of one step in life, the promising beginning of another. The Reverend T.F. Rutledge Beal, pastor of the Congregational Church, Billings, stressed the importance of living the abundant life throughout youth, middle age and old age. As signposts to the abundant life he listed youth's access to the ex- perience of the ages through books, and youth's impetuous ambitions as the key to great things yet undiscovered. Hold steady, he said. Get your training, dream your dreams, and don’t lose faith in the future, in God, in your country or yourself. The world is filled with signals and God has a place for everyone, but no bargains. College or work--go at it in the right spirit. Eyes front, eyes up--go at it, and the future is yours. Salutatorian Peterson and Valedictorian Dawson in their addresses of Welcome and Farewell both stressed their appreciation to school and community for the excellent educations received by the graduates thus far and the guidance given to point the way to the future. The Invocation and Benediction by Reverend Dutton, Processional and Recessional and the musical selection Magnus by the band, the presentation of a scholarship to Wilma Dawson, presentation of eighth grade diplomas by Mr. Collins and Mr. Hium, and presentation of high school diplomas by Mr. Person and Mr. Hium concluded the impressive ceremony. Baccalaureate exercises for the class of '52 were held in the Bridget High School gymnasium, Sunday, May 18, at 8:00 P. M. The Reverend Wallace Bristor gave the Baccalaureate Sermon, The Abundant Life,” making several statements which will linger with the seniors. Among these were his ideas that, We must keep our heads in the stars even though our feet slog along in the mud,” and, There is joy of living in seeing the beauty of God in the commonplace. He also urged people to Have a believing attitude; believe in your neighbors even if you do get shortchanged once in a while. Perhaps the basic philosophy he expressed was You can't go back to yesterday, and tomorrow isn't here--so live today. The excellent sermon, the two inspiring numbers, Tenebrae Factae Sunt and Now the Day Is Over sung by the A cappella choir, and the Processional and Recessional played by Jean Parker combined to make this a fitting and memorable service.
