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'.
