After the affair, ti made to give the sophomores a lance, sophomores returned their favo . Soon class meetings were in order er� a « oros Peggy Wash was chosen by the class as • .ee:. ar She was a princess to Arlene Asbury. Except for study, the MFreshies ha'5 only C hill. It too was really a lot of fun. The following year found the same old class with the e Sherran Brewer, who transferred here from Idaho. Our lsrge class los a number of pupils who dropped out before the year ended. Ted Csrter, Pobert Elmore, Lee Lewis, and Gloria Thompson were the ones who decided to drop out. We especially enjoyed Initiating the freshmen. We dressed them up in the usual odd fashions and paraded them up and down Main Street, That night we were honored by a ,rSox Hop given us by the freshmen. We elected officers as follows: Milton Markuson, president; Joan Pulse, vice-president; Linda Wollesen, secretary-treasurer. Mr, Wallace was our sponsor. We were very proud to present Sherran Brewer as our Homecoming Queen candidate. Although one of our members, Pena Taylor White, decided to get mar- ried on October 31, she continued with school. After supervising the painting of the C by the freshmen, our second year In high school was completed. School started in the fall of 19514- with thirty of the junior class to enroll as upperclassmen. After checking on all of our classmates we were sorry to find Glenn Wash missing and honored to find Gloria back with us again. Besides Gloria was Brice Barrere, Clara Meyers, end Lee Lewis. Later on we were joined by Bruce Yanzick and Kathleen Foby. Under the guidance of Mr, Spratt, our class sponsor, we elected officers 89 follows: Edgar Collins as president. Buddy Morrison as vice- president, and Gloria Thompson as secretary-treasurer. Gloria was pIso chosen Homecoming Queen Candidate. As school passed along, we ordered the prettiest class rings, we thought, and all of us became greatly excited about showing them off upon their arrival. We also had another new honor, to give 8 class Flev. We gave The Mystery of Crazy Canyon Ranch under the supervision of Mrs. Cantrell.

This year our class had a new Job we had nevei h u bef; . and that was work on the Journalism Staff. We printed eight co, Jes of the BROADCASTER, and were quite proud of all of them. Also this year we htd the Job of making the MEDICINE ROCK and so early In the year we started on plans for the annual. Our class play was given In the spring, April 13th. (Oh you unlucky people). The name of it was Desperate Ambrose” and was under the dir- ection of Mr. Simons. The play was a big success and we made enough money to make our Sneak Day a howling success. May 1|, 195 the junior class honored us with a prom, called ‘ Sea Fantasy Mike Dosch from Bismarck, North Dakota played the ham- mond organ and mr.de a beautiful setting for our prom. Linda Wollesen was chosen prom Queen and Pete Remmen wes chosen prom King. They made a lovely couple as they led the coronation waltz. Finally came Sneak Day. Wow, what fun.

Desperate Ambrose. The play took place in the west, in a town named Dead Man’s Gulch. It all started when Ambrose Groves And Bert Miller were kicked off the train in the middle of the desert. They make their way to Dead Man’s Gulch where they are mistaken for a couple of tough law men. How they thwarted the outlaws and won the girls1 hearts made an interesting play.

Later in the year we selected class rings, and upon their arrival we proudly showed them to anyone and everyone. We then selected a play Here We Go Again and after much work and fun we presented it on January 21|. We in- itiated the new gym chairs at our play. Soon spring came—as did prom time. After many ideas and much work we held the prom on May k� 1956. We were richly rewarded for our work by the praise the decorations recieved. Everyone seemed to enjoy the music of Mike Dosch on his first trip to Ekalaka. So our happy junior year ended and we wish all the future junior classes all the fun and good luck our class has had.

The plot involved a week-end with a typical family of five--Mr. Parker (Jimmy Walker) in the feed and grain business, Mrs. Parker (Delores Silvis) kept busy looking after her family, end the three daughters, Lois (Sondra Floyd). Pigeon (Dorothy Turbiville), and Janie (Sharon Purdum). At the beginning of the play Lois is madly in love with Biff Jordon (Howard Turbiville) but unknown to anyone. Biff is engaged to Miss Virginia Anderson (Joan Powell), a pretty libiarlan whom he met at college. Biff’s sister and Lois’s roonate at college Elaine (Ore Elmore) ke ps encouraging their romance, but to no avail. Lois's high school boy friend Lee Summers (Jim Oxford) is still in love with her but he just can’t figure out what is wrong between them. Into this already complicated picture comes 16 year old Pigeon who is a little fixer if there ever was one. Right along with her is her pel and next door neighbor Midge Martin (Janice Malmquist). Janie, the youngest is also quite a fixer but she sticks to machines. She seems to hit it off better with Biff than either of her sisters. Pigeon’s boy friend Wilbur, (Walter Anderson) is quite bewildered by all the mystery in the Parker house, Mrs Parker's good friend Abbie Motherwell (Goldie Yates) is trying to figure out what has come over her friend. Then there is Mrs. Stimpson (Judy Best) whose order means a lot to Mr. Parker, but he’s not sure she will buy from him. How Mr. Parkor got her order and Lois solved her problem all raede for an exciting play. Crossroads Inn Miles City, Mont Dahlman Motel Baker, Mont. . napshot? Bl� Sharon P. what's this!

Bill Harps ter and then Julie Kay Jensen left our midst before Christmas. After Christmas vacation Jennie Mitchell did not again join us. We were sorry, but indeed hope she enjoys the school she is now attending. As our school year draws slowly to a close, we think back over the activities behind us. We rounded up theFresh- men once more end hauled them up 11 Cw Hill for the annual re- freshing of white wash of the big C . They remarked that we had worked their souls to death, but by the way they ate, the lunch we had provided for them, and by the healthy looks, we still find on their faces, we know they are still of sound body and mind. We will always remember the fun and work we have had during this year, but as the old saying goes nr)onft look back, have eyes only for the future. Junior class, here we come.

They made fine showings in three games although finishing the season with two wins and three losses. Injuries were a big part of the unsuccessful season as many players were lost because of them.
