Medicine Rock CARTER coumr HIGH SCHOOL EKfllfiKAKfOOnTflnR The Senior Class of 1955 invites you to share many of the school’s experien- ces throughout the year with them. We have spent much time in preparing this year book, and we hope you will en- joy it. We want to thank all of those who helped us with the production of this year book, the teachers, the students, and the businessmen who bought ads from us. i DeMraiion We, the Seniors of ’55 dedicate our annual to the Carterettes of Carter County High School and their spon- sors, for their loyal sup- port, and willingness to help.

Our Cadillac filled with pas, we left the good old state of Montana and headed for Denver, Colorado. The first of our classmates that we saw was TROY ELMORE. He was a taxi driver and he took us on a tour through the city. We enjoyed it very much and after the tour we continued on our way to Kansas City, Kansas. Here we were quite fortunate in finding LOYAL and GLORIA BABB. They were doing the mam- bo in the fanciest night club in the city. Glo- ria was formerly known as GLORIA SCHWEDE. We also found ETHEL KINS in the same club selling Pall Malls. After an enjoyable visit with them we decided to attend a prize fight. The fight was between HARLEN WASH, alias Pod , and Killer Diller. Harlen won the fight and became the featherweight champion of the world. We spent the night in a near-by hotel and were amazed to find MARLYN TIENSVOLD, the owner of the hotel. He was sitting in the office pro- udly counting his riches. He was delighted to see us so he gave us the swankiest room in the place, free of charge. The next morning we left Kansas and went to Chicago, Illinois. We decided we’d do a little shopping and to our surprise we found PEGGY WIL- LIAMS, modeling wedding gowns. She said the business was very profitable and her slim, sch- ool-girl figure had not changed a bit. We had dinner at a lovely restaurant, CLYDE BREWER was the main chef. After he fixed us a wonderful dinner, we thanked him and continued our journey to Little Rock, Arkansas. We saw a little drive-in restaurant, and decided to eat there. The girl who waited on us was BETTY JO SCHALLENBERGER. She said she had been working here for several years and liked it very much. She also told us that PATSY STIEG was a nurse in Tulsa, Okalhoma, so that was our next stop. Pat- sy said she likes her Job and plans to make nur- sing her life-long career. Our next stop was the great state of Texas. TOM McCAMISH, is famous all over the Lone Star State, as the owner of the largest herd of sheep in the 1 8. We stayed at Tom's ranch for a few days, but the weather was so hot we nearly suff- ooated so we left him and went to Salt Lake City, Utah, here we found FRANK SILVIS. He is carry- Bettj J fVan. ir C lyde. D Jt n -ri ing on the work of Dr. Albert Einstein. We talk- ed with him for quite awhile but we couldn’t un- derstand him very well because he used such big, scientific words. Noticing a large high school we decided to go in and look around. We were most amazed to find DAVID CULVER, as the professor. He said he enjoys his work but at times finds it quite a headache. We left David and drove to Reno, Nevada. Here we saw BILLIE DILLON. She was in charge of a divorce court. She said her job was getting too tiresome, hearing all the sob-stories, and that she and her husband planned on moving back to Ekalaka. We were viewing Reno’s lovely sights when a familiar voice turned our attention to someone standing on a street corner. As we drew near, we recognized the person at once. It was MARY KREITEL, Campaigning to become the first woman President of the United States. (Incidentally, she was running on the Democratic ticket.) With our Journey nearly finished, and only one classmate to see, we told Mary and Billie good-bye and went to Idaho Falls, Idaho. ALLEN ELMORE was here. He was a race car driver. He said this is very dangerous work, but also lots of fun. Satisfied with seeing our old classmates again, we returned home for another ten years of work with our blattlng 3heep and croaking toads. We hope our friends will come to see us some day. £ • . TROY LOYAL BILLIE BETTY L. FRANK Class History September 3 1951 marked the entry into C.C.H.S. of the class of '55 thirty-three strong. We elected Georgette Townsend, president; Tom McCamish, vice-president; Betty Jo La Bree, secretary; and Doris Burch, trea- surer. Wilma Pul9e was our homecoming candidate and Mr. Mlekush acted as class sponsor. Initiation and the painting of the C gave the sophomores opportunities to torment us freshmen, but we all enjoyed these attentions. The following year found only 25 of us to register as sophomor- es. Missing were the familiar faces of Doris Burch, Virginia Aaberg, Rose Adams, Brice Barrere, Larry Gariott , Max Kingsley, Jackie Simp- son, Olive Ann Workentine. Roberta Price, an old classmate, returned from Miles City. Class officers elected for that year were Mary Kreitel, president; David Culver, vice-president; Peggy Williams, secretary; and Tom McCamish, treasurer. Betty Jo La Bree was our homecoming can- didate and Mr. Mlekush was again the class sponsor. That year It was our turn to supervise the freshmen initiation and the painting ,of the C . We assisted the freshmen in these activities, much in the same manner as we were assisted the year before. The beginning of our junior year found still a smaller number of us, only 21. We had Powell during the year, and Rosena Meyers failed to register as started, Wilma Pulse left to be year were Harlen Wash, president; Mary Kreitel, secretary-treasurer, coming candidate and Mrs. Can- junior year was an important one essful class play was, Let Me Junior-Senior Prom with Moon- lost Naomi Parsons and Marvin Gross, Norine Clem and Margie upperclassmen.

We put on the light and Roses as the theme. The final year of high school found 18 seniors ready for their last and most active school term. Officers for this last year were Ethel Kins, presid- ent; Clyde Brewer, vice-president; and Loyal Babb, secretary-treasurer. Miss- ing were Margie Ward and Billie Venhaus. Roberta Price left early in the year, but Billie returned as Mrs. Paul Dillon to take Roberta s place. Mr. Rowley was our class sponsor. We were very proud to have our can- didate, Peggy Williams, elected Homecoming Queen. Our senior class play was The Thursday Murders. Our next project was the beginning — of the annual which kept us busy until the end of the year. As the year came to a close we were busy with Sneak Day, May 8 and 9 when, took a two-day trip to the Black Hills. Class Night was - on the 17th of May. Baccalaureate was May l5th and Com- mencement came on May 21. With this happy event came the close of four years of close relationship between the members of the class of � 55.

Later on we were Joined by Bruce Yanzick and Kathleen Roby. Under the guidance of Mr. Spratt, our olaas sponsor, we elected officers as follows: Edgar Collins as president. Buddy Morrison as vice-president, and Gloria Thompson as secretary-treasurer. Gloria Thompson was chosen Homecoming Queen candidate. As school passed along, we ordered the prettiest olass rings, so we thought, and all of us became greatly excited about showing them off upon their arrival. We next under-took the task of presenting our olass play, nThe Mystery of Crazy Canyon Ranch”, sponsored by Mrs. Cantrell. After working hard on it, we successfully pre- sented it on April 12. With the approaching of spring came the Junior Prom. We were rewarded for our hard work by compliments and praise from all who attended. The happy year as Juniors came to a close with all of us looking forward to being together as Seniors the follow- ing year.

MYSTERY OP CRAZY CANYON RANCH After the death of her uncle, GEORGIA THAYER (Wauneita Schallenberger) comes from New York with two friends, JENNIFER FAIRCHILD (Sherran Brewer) and ANNE PAYSON (Donna SJoblom), to take care of the ranch she has Just in- herited. She expects to turn it into a dude ranch in order to make some money. GEORGIA finds nothing but discouragement at first with WILD-EYED WILLIE (Bill Lavell) as foreman of the ranch. Much against her better Judg- ement she is attracted to her neighbor PETER SHELDON (Milton Markuson), al- though there has been hatred between the families. There is real danger from the MAVERICK KID (Pete Remmen) and his wife (Kathleen Roby) who pose as dudes after they have robbed the Phoenix bank, and plan to hide for awhile at the ranch. SHERIFF (Bud Morrison) adds much life to the play. __ PETER has planned a simple plan with MISS PRIM (Sylvia Carter), MINNIE WINNIE (Joan Pulse), and STANDING COW (Edgar Collins) to scare the girls, but find too late that there is real danger to the white girls.

Ora Elmore Queen Candidate Ekalaka Trading Post Freshmen Class September 7, 1955 was an eventful day In the lives of thirty-four lively and enthusiastic students, as we took our place as freshmen in Carter County High School. After the first few awkward, but exciting days we began to feel at home in our new surroundings and settled down to the tasks before us. We found that Mr. Holo was to be our class sponsor. As officers we chose Louise Tooke president. Hex Albert vice- president, and Beth Williams secretary-treasurer. All too soon initiation came and we were masqueraded and paraded before the townfolk. By night we were won- dering if life was worth living but we changed our minds after attending the rtsock hop the sophomores gave in our honor that evening. To thank the sophomores for restoring our faith in high school life, we later gave a return sock hop . Time rolled on, and soon we were deciding upon our Freshmen candidate for Homecoming Queen. This honor went to Julie Kay Jensen. During the first semester we gained two students, Bar- bara Hedges and Melvin Mumedy, and lost one, Wayne Carter. Karen Thomas moved away early in the second semester. In the spring we were given our last instruction by the sophomores. This time we were told to white-wash the C . We also proudly held our places in football,basketball, band, and chorus throughout the year. Julie Kay Jensen Queen Candidate Dentist Dr. R. T. Joyce Baker, Montana New Life Bar Cafe Ekalaka.

Tom McCamish was the only returnee of last year's team that took the District I4. crown. The unexperienced Bulldogs, who had the rough part of their schedule at the beginning of the season got off to a bad start, but finished the season in fine shape. The Bulldogs ended up with a season's record of lo wins against 6 defeats. They tied for second in conference play and took third in the District U tournament in Miles City. At the season's close people were saying that the Bulldogs were the most improved team that thev had seen in some time. The Carter team loses Tom McCamish, an all tournament team selection, and Dave Culver, the finest rebounder of the tour- nament, out of the first ten, so the Bulldogs should be one of the top contenders next season.

Carter lens enthusiasts found a worth while outlet for their artistry this year in the establishing of a Photograohy Club by Mr. Lambert. The club was led through the year by President Marlyn Tiensvold, Vice President Clyde Brewer, and Secretary-Treas- urer Frank Silvis. David Culver, Marlyn Tiensvold, Clyde Brewer, and Frank Silvis had been in the organization in 1951-52, when Ronald Jackson was sponsor of the club. The Photo club has not been active for the past two years because they could not get any- one to sponsor it. During the year the members have been working in the school s dark room where they have turned out some very fine work. W. Rowley Ruby G.A.A. 9 00r� r Wo o Top Row: R. Price? L.
