Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1954 volume:

% Published by THE SENIOR CLASS of BRIDGER HIGH SCHOOL Sponsored by MR. and MRS. FOESTE We. the seniors of 1954, have put much work into this annual but the work we have put into it symbolizes the industry we know we shall have to put out when the time comes to enter the world as citizens of this great country of ours. Therefore we realize that thisannual serves a double purpose to us. It will ready us for the work we have ahead of us and it will re- cord the memories of our high school years. We hope that we have covered every phase of school life in BHS. Please feel that this is your annual. It is meant to be yours. To Our Parents: For the understanding which they have shown us; For inculcating within us, high ideals; For the treasures of character, personality, wisdom and skill they have developed in each one of us; For helping us in time of need; For encouraging us in time of despair; For the sacrifices they have made, so that we could secure an education; For these and others; We, the Class of 1954, wish todedicate this annual to our parents as a token of our appreciation. Superintendent Mr. Sommerfeld, the superintendent of the Bridger Public School, has been our leader for the past four years. We thank him for the under- taking he has shown us and the guidance he has shown us. We thank him for showing us what hon- esty and hard work mean. We thank him for being sincere in everything he said to us. We thank him for all he has done for us. We thank him and we respect him. Principal Mr. Collins, the principal of Bridger Public School, is one of the most understanding men we have ever known. He led us without ever seeming to be leading. He never held us back, but showed us the right way. We thank him for the kindness and friendliness he has shown us the past years. our teachers It may seem odd to some that we represent our teachers, our leaders, as jokers or juveniles. We don't mean it to look this way. Rather, we mean to represent them as a group of people who were more than teachers but also friends. We feel that we have had such teachers during our school careers. We are glad to be able to tell how our teachers and friends took part in the good times we had in high school and not only in the studious part. We shall always remember the skits the teachers prepared for our assembly programs at Christmas. The impersonation by the teachers, of Casey at the Bat will never be forgotten. The musical program shown in the picture will never leave our memories. We are glad we have had such teachers and we thank our parents especially for making it possible for us to attend this school where we received such a com- plete education. Yes, we thank you, our parents, and we thank you, our teachers, for making our high school years so wonderful. By being such good sports yourselves, you have made us much more so than we would have been. School Board Laagstaff, Schwend, McDowell, Hium, Foeste, Sommerfeld, Cambell.

Senior Class Prophecy Looking back through the pages of our photograph album, we note that the Class of '54 is scattered over the continent, engaged in various professions. First, we see Dave Becker with a seasonal job, He works in Hart Albins as Santa Claus. Cliff Peters, once famous for F. F. A. awards, Is employed by a circus, swallowing swords. To be a stenographer was Florence's wish; Now a waitress--what a dish! Ted Lehman, a great industrial man. Was seen putting keys on a coffee can. Donna Templin whom the boys used to chase; Now looks as if she’s won every race. Lover boy Johnson, whom we all used to know. Is now selling pins at a bubble dance show. Shirley Webber, who wanted to be a nurse, Is now making a living driving a hearse. Pitcher, Jim Stiert, whom the fans used to boo. Is now throwing fish to the seals in the zoo. Alvin Rangitsch, a former engineer. Has now turned his talents to home-made beer. That great cowboy, Jim McDowell, Is now a street cleaner in the city of Powell. Graceful Gene Geiger, who moved with such ease. Now teaches the hula in the sunny South Seas. Tom Kucera, known as a Democrat fan. Now is seen as the top Republican man. Rhiney Laber makes Dr. Laber’s formula 10-- Guaranteed to grow hair on a ball point pen. Now who is that, who was laid so flat, The famous woman wrestler, Canvas Back Pat? And here is Paul Graham, our favorite man, Who works on KOOK'S tours through Musicland. Now chief of Greasy Pan Gulch’ we see— Harvey Jonas, now chief chef in old Paree. Well look at this picture; what do we hear? Our Leslie Harding—an auctioneer? Karen Hium, champion weiner stuffer of the world. Makes them straight, square, round and curled. Joe Murray who operates a cotton gin; Stuffs his cotton in bottles of aspirin. Bob Currie with his mathematical mind, Now counts nuts of every kind. Frances Wennemar with her legs so long, Is now in a mortuary playing a song. Verle Graham with a yippee-yi-ya, Now sings cowboy songs all day. And now as we turn the page we see, Mr. Collins modeling a B.V.D. Here's Betty Dietz in the middle row, Teaching the roosters how to crow. And so ends our visit with the Class of '54. Sunday evening.
