SOMMERFELD Superintendent The experience of the ages that are past, the hopes of the ages that are yet to come, unite their voices in an appeal to us; they implore us to think more of the character of our people than of its vast numbers; to look upon our vast resources, not as tempters to ostentation and pride, but as a means to be converted by the re- fining alchemy of education, into mental and spiritual treasures - and thus give to the world the example of a nation whose wisdom increases with prosperity, and whose virtues are equal to its power. Horace Mann rfeimi U4foatco t MR. RAY COLLINS Principal Common sense, in an uncommon degree, is what the world calls wisdom. Coleridge k Mr. Sommerfeld, Mr. Schwend, Mr. Zinne, Dr. A. Foeste, Mr. McDowell, and Olga Campbell. P.7.A. This year the P. T. A. sold activity and birthday calendars to help sponsor two teaching scholarships which were given at one of the regular meetings. The winners were Miss Beverly JLehman and Lanny Baumann whose pictures are shown below. They both received $150 toward college. This group also bought an opaque projector for the school. At the meetings entertainment was furnished by the music Department, and Mr. Gaudin. New officers were e- lected for the coming year. P. T. A.

Settun@lciAA 'Pio zbeccf The class of '55', besides being a versatile, in- telligent, handsome group, has shown tendencies to- ward fame and wonderlust in the ten years since graduation. According to Mrs. Wallace who recently returned from an extensive second honeymoon, the members of the class have varied careers; and are living in vari- ous sections of the country, although a few of them still remained in Bridger. First comes Joan, to Bill's delight, Floating down the isle, All dressed in white. Then comes printer, Eva Lou Who really has a mint, But some doubt, about what she really prints. Mighty Frank De Rudder Whom the Bridger girls used to chase, Is now slinging hash at his own little place. Beve Lehman with her boyfriends galore Is now an old maid Raising cats by the score. On the way through Belfry they saw Beverly Butkay who had tne best of luck, For now she makes her living raising little ducks. On a visit to Red Lodge They saw little Carl, the Class's biggest tease, Now in a factory, counting out peas. On through the dusty road of Cody They found Shirley Giest who weeps For instead of tending men, all she tends is sheep. And on to Salt Lake, and who should they meet, But Marjorie Lollar, the Sunday school teacher Who became engaged and married a preacher. Then to Hollywood, to visit movie makers They found Gus DeRudder As Digger, the friendly undertaker. Voight, the financial wizzard is counting his days As through the bars of Alkatraz They saw his glaring gaze. They traveled through Death Valley, And found Doris Fay the secretary Now keeping books in Strobbe's mortuary. If in Reno, and need cash And you've something to hock Deal with Doris Carlson, who runs a pawn shop. As they entered Tucson, someone was at practice A cowgirl appeared with a fine guitar Oh! its only Flo Ridenour, alias 'Cactus'. And there's Gerry Butkay getting rid of pests As he sprays for bugs and termites In the wild wooly west. As they travel along there's a change in the nation As Danny converted Texas With his sprinkler irrigation. Now we see Dale A Bible does he carry He turned out to be a famous missionary. They went on to Nashville And whom did they see, But the famous Bob Todd, on Grand Old Opre. And on to the Capitol Where they found a smart guy The mighty Curt Peters, with the F.B.I. In New York, meek little Geraldine Who was always so dear Is now a chorus girl, in the Burlesque premier. In the job Zinne's doing, he takes a lot of guff As in Maine he makes his living Modeling ear muffs. In milwaukee the mighty Keith Hein Who we used to hear Is now slapping labels, on cans of Hamm's beer. Back to Bridger the trip's all done We saw Leona Kroll and her redheaded dozen She was milking the cows and feeding her cousins. And now you've seen those seniors, as towards their goals they strive. We're glad that fate had been so kind to their class of '55'. Dear B. H. S. Underclassmen, Just a little note to tell you about our 4 years at B. H. S. It was not all play but quite a bit of work. We started in High School just as green as you were, but look how we turned out! You can do the same too, if you'll follow order in our footsteps. As we stepped on to the prison grounds, we were suddenly faced with a large group of uper-classmen who gently smeared us with cake color- ing of all colors and orders. Then we proceeded to make the B on the hillside. To us it was the biggest and best that was ever made. We chose for our class officers President, August DeRudder; Bev- erly L. was the Vice-President; and Doris Strobbe was elected Secre- tary-Treasurer. Our Class Advisor was Mr. Grobe. Dale Musegades and Leona Kroll dropped in on us while we weren't watching during this year. When we advanced to Sophomores we were called to accept Eva Lou Fields and Shirley Giest into our group. Frank DeRudder was elected President; Gearldine Christman-Vice-President; and Joyce Maie re- ceived the job of Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Mitchell received the hon- or of Advising the group this year. Then came our Junior Year which was filled with excitment. We ordered our class rings that year and had a big Junior-Senior Banquet. For officers that were chosen that year Marjorie Lollar, President; Dale Musegades, Vice-President; and Jerry Voight, Secretary-Treas- urer. The theme that year for our Prom was April in Paris. Mr. Cypher was in charge of the class this year. At last we have climbed to the top of the ladder. As Seniors, Wayne Zinnie was our President; Joan Hicks our Vice-President; and Beve Butkay our Secretary-Treasurer. Mrs. Wallace was our Class Advisor this year, as it was a big year in our lives. Our Senior Ball, Chapel in the Moonlight , was only one of the big highlights of this year. The play The Night Was Dark went over as a big success and the whole cast had fun of putting it on. Thermopolis was the center for our Sen- ior Excursion Day. We had s chicken Dinner and afterwards went swimming in the Mineral Springs. Our announcements had a B crest on them. The White Rose was the flower and our colors were pink and lavendar. Nothing is imposs- ible to a willing heart , was our class motto. As you can see this hasn't been a bit dull, now has it? So the best of luck to the underclassmen. We hope you have as much fun, and as much cooperation from the students and faculty as we have had. Sincerely yours, Senior Class President V.

Losing it's first conference game to Joliet, in a tight 13-20 contest, Bridger was only defeated by Belfry in their bid for the championship, the sec- ond in Bridger's history. Bridger's big line, both offensive and de- fensive, proved effective in opening holes and providing fine blocking for the speedy backs.

In basketball, as in football, the Scouts went further than any other team before them. Placing second to Bel- fry in the district standings, and in the district tournament, the Scouts went on to divisional where they went up the hard way to challenge the Indians of Lodge Grass. Although they were defeated, they placed third in the tournament, higher than any other Bridger team.

S Squad, C aptains 40 Getting off to a good start this year, the Scouts defeat- ed the two challengers for last year's championship. Bel- fry and Absarokee both went down under the barrage of Bridger's booming bats. Pending this article, the Scouts were gunning for their fourth championship in a row. The Scout's solid infield and outfield, backed up by the strong pitching of Gerald Butkay and George Kroll, and the catch- ing of Wayne Zinne, the Scouts are the strong contenders for the championship of 1955. 41 CHEERLEADERS: Jean Parker, Beverly Butkay, Patsy Templin, Mary Stiert.
