School board members Les Harding, Dave Vandersloot, Carl Grisso and Nancy Lehr review a motion at a meeting. Superintendent, Morris VanCampen spends time with the 4th grade class. We never stop learning The administrators give their thoughts on the 1956 school year. Henry Ford said it all when he ut- tered: “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” When you look back at your school years at Bridger I hope you will say this is where learning and growing was enhanced. We can all take pride in our school and all that our school offers to each individual stu- dent. May your memories of Bridger School be pleasant and may you always stay young in mind. Morris R. Van Campen Superintendent

The WA VE of the Future? What does the future have in store for Birdger High? Imagine stepping intoBridger High in the year 2020. Picture the hallways with glass elevators to get you form classroom to class- room. State of the art lockers, a library with only video tapes, and possibly even robots for teachers. Sound great? Possibly even too good to be true? I magine each student having their own personal computer at their desk to do their daily work on, and turning you’re homework in on a computer disk. The school lunches would be made in micro- wave ovens at split-second speeds. Would there be any use for humans? Virtually every job that is held by faculty and school help could be replaced by some sort of machinery. Is this really the wave of the future? Well, take a look at some of the things al- ready in our school. Computers are already in use for our report cards, and even this yearbook has been done on a computer. But, these are smallchangescompared to the school described above. Until the year 2020 has arrived we’ll just have to watch The Jetsons if we want a taste of the future. Cooks Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. George and Mrs. Peters provided many noon meals for both the high school and grade school. Mrs. Steffan worked with the IBM computer as school clerk. 25

This past year was very progressive in terms of academic accomplishments and student participation. A talented group of seniors showed leadership skills in the academic and extra-curricular areas; their abilities well proven by the fact that all have decided to attend an institution of higher learning. I wish them success and happiness in their future endeav- ors. To those of you returning I wish the same for you. Continually strive to do and be your best. Become involved in your school and it’s activities. Make your parents, teachers, friends and town proud of you and the fine school system of which you are a part. Terry Vanderpan, Principal Bridger High School
