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.

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. Our School

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
