Senio 'Profe teap The feet big and small of the class of '53, have taken them o'er land, air and sea. Globetrotter Ray with his biggest of feet, has tasted of fame but never defeat. Twenty little feet now we hear, they belong to LaVerne and DeWayne, we hear. Bob Dietz engaged, not to a girl we fear, but to the business of farming year after year. White nurses' shoes now enter the scene; in them is Susan at the X-ray machine. Through that screen Susy sees, our druggist Robin, pretending disease. Barrymore's profile wins no more acclaim; Bill Dickinson has stolen his fame. Bud Helzer's feet are planted in soil; he has realized the fruits of honest toil. Mabel, Mabel set the table. Bud's coming in from the stable. Dick Preuninger famous for his muscles, is still up to his old tricks, chasing bustles. Hoppy Schwend has become a big rancher and is known around as a wonderful dancer. Howard Hennebry appears among oil dealers, has 13 kids that are all squealers. Swannee is still Bob Larsen's theme, to him she is his only Queen. Bob Jonas with his newspaper rush, a big city editor, really lives lush. We next see a girl of sugar and spice, with a college career, of course, Judy Price. Lonnie never tries and his mischevious smile has won him many friends and many box- car miles. There was fame in the class of '53, the Larsen advisor was our dealer Swannee. Second baseman for the Yank's is our own Billy Ryan, he hasn't fornd a wife but he's still try in In the field of homemaking she's no pioneer; Dorothy's talented in her chosen career. Allan’s our mechanic and really making dough, he did this we'll never know. Karen Delmonica with the brownest of eyes, will smile at the boys while traveling the deep blue skies. Rex Newhouse with his booming voice, is now a congressman, the peoples’ choice. Thelma Johnson and her husband, Pete, now have two children, Pete and Repeat. Muggsy , with his head of hair, is now our game warden, hunters beware. Bruce Giest with his new farm-hand, is the fastest apple picker in the land. Now ends the prophecy of '53, may their future be properous and happy. Settctn @Ccl44 H iCi ALLEN ALTOFF--ieaves the memories of their rides to Florence Lehman. LA VERNE BEHUREM--leaves her homemaking abilities to Karen Hium. KAREN DELMONICA--leaves her gentle personality and neatness to Pat Hicks. BOB DIETZ--leaves his speech making ability to Alvin Rangitsch and his field of albit to Bob Currie. BILL DICKINSON--leaves his casanova ways to Rhiney Laber. BRUCE G1EST--leaves his love of dancing the polka to Leslie Harding. MABEL HAHN--leaves her ability to get along with others to Donna Templin, but keeps Bud for herself. HOWARD HENNEBRY--leaves Donna Templin in the competent hands of the junior class boys. SUSAN JOHNSON--leaves her conversational ability to Shirley Webber, and her way with men to Frances Wennemar. THELMA JOHNSON--leaves her shy smile to Shirley Webber, but takes her slow gait with her. BOB JONAS--leaves his car to Harvey so Harvey can repair his Model A. BOB LARSEN--leaves his rabbit hunting and basketball ability to Gene Geiger. DOROTHY LEHMAN--leaves her seat in the assembly to Dave Becker, and the ford to Ted. LONNIE LOLLAR--leaves his bow ties to Ted and the Boll Weevil to Jim McDowell. REX NEWHOUSE--leaves his Dirty Pan Gulch cooking ability to Joe Johnson. DICK PREUNINGER--just leaves! JUDY PRICE--leaves her flirtatious way to Betty Dietz. RICHARD ROBINSON--leaves his Red Lodge girls to Cliff Peters. BILLY RYAN--leaves his dribbling ability and girls in Billings to Jim Stiert. CHARLES SCHWEND--leaves his president chair in FFA to Leslie Harding. DELORES SWAN--leaves her cheerleading ability to the juniors. ROBIN VOIGHT--leaves to Verle his car. RAY WENNEMAR--leaves his girls to Paul Graham and his car to the junior boys. TO THE JUNIORS--the remnants of our sneak day. TO THE SOPHOMORES--our good looks and good behavior. TO THE FRESHMAN—first place in the lunch line. CLASS OF 1953 COLORS: Green and White FLOWER: Pink Rose MOTTO: Face the sunshine and you'll never see the shadow junior Class Officers GRAHAM.

T. Sommerfeld As the form of student government at Bridger High School the council was called on to set up the system for the selling of confections by the various BHS organizations at athle- tic events. Also the prices of the refershments for football and basketball games were set by the council. One of the other things done was the planning of the annual Christmas party. The student council is board representing the different classes. Its purpose is to handle any situation when called upon by the students. During the year the Pep Club has sold pop and candy at football games and alternated with the othet organizations at basketball games. The Pep Club bought sweaters for the cheer- leaders from the money they have received by selling candy and pop. The scouts were cheered on by the Club at the district and divisional tournaments during the basketball season in addition to their support of all athletic events.

A. members of the Clarksfork Chapter had a successful year as they reached a new high in farming investments, had a ten-acre bean project, and took first place sweepstakes at the Southern Division Convention by winning first place in farm mechanics, agronomy and livestock. Bridger took second place in parliamentary procedure. The members staged a successful parent and son banquet, and placed well at the State Convention. Charles Schwend was elected president of the Montana Association of F. F. A. and Allen Althoff became Star State Farm Mechanic. The judging team placed second in the State Contest and was awarded a trip to Waterloo, Iowa, for their merit and a silver division was given for the program of work. We also have two state farmers, Ted Lehman and Charles Schwend. Individual members on the judging teams placed high. At both the state and district meets, awards were given in dairy farming, ownership, beef raising, secretaries' books, treasurers’ books, and individual awards were won by members of the judging teams at Bozeman. The senior members of the chapter went to Kansas City to attend the National Convention which is an annual affair. Plans were made so the graduating seniors each year would have the opportunity to make the trip. Three members represented the chapter at the state leadership school held in Helena.

CLARINET SECTION Senior Concert The music department can look back upon the 1952-53 school year as one of achievement. As a result of participating in the Billings Music Festival, the band received the highest rating given to a Class C school. The organization has entertained fans at athletic events, appeared in the Spring Concert and Festival of Bands, and supplied music for other com- munity affairs. DRUM SECTION HORN SECTION TRUMPET SECTION A Sadie Hawkins dance and a minstrel show were sponsored by the music department.

The school having bought a Century Graflex 2 1 4 by 3 1 4 camera made it possible for the club tc take the ping pong pictures for the school and the pictures of all the other activities pictures for the annual.

BRUCH G1HST JOE JOHNSON BOB DIETZ The Bridger Scouts football team came through with a fairly successful season this year as they won three and lost three games. Although this is a good 50% standing we did hope to do better since there were seven senior lettermen on the squad. The able cap- tains, Rex Newhouse and Dick Preuninger, did very well this year in football as did the other graduating lettermen, Ray Wennemar, Bob Dietz, Bruce Giest, Robin Voight and Lonnie Lollar and Bill Dickinson lettering as manager. Although we lose many of the members and much of the power of the line, we still look to having a successful season next year, since there will be many fine replacements.

The Bridger Scouts came up with the most successful season ever witnessed in Bridger. We had a district standing of 14 wins and two losses. The Scouts really got to stick their chests out when they defeated the 1952 and 53 State Champions, the Belfry Bats, in the District Tournament. The Scouts made a very good start in the Divisional Tournament when they defeated Belgrade. After the first game they just couldn't seem to get rolling as they were defeated twice in a row. Their offenders were Sumatra and Three Forks. Both games were very close and exciting, but Bridger was eliminated. Thus ended the most successful season in Bridger's history.
