CLASS HISTORY Four years ago, September 7, 195L, a class of thirty-four fresh- men enrolled at Carter County High School in Ekalaka, Montana. At first we were lost and a little bewildered, but before long we began to feel at home. At our first class meeting we elected as class officers Louise Tooke, president; Beth Williams, secretary-treasurer; and Rex Albert, vice-president. Julie Jensen was our Homecoming queen candidate. Mr. Holo was our class sDonsor. In October we found ourselves on the receiving end of initia- tion. Everywhere we went we were the center of attention. The sopho- mores weren't content to have only the high school students see us so at noon we were paraded down Main street and back past the grade school. They also chased us around the football field during the half. That night we were put through our paces in the gym, much to the delight of all present. Then the sophomores honored us with a dance to restore our dignity. A few weeks later we gave a dance in return. 17

During the first semester we gained two new students, Barbara Hedges and Melvin Munmedy, and lost one, Wayne Carter, Karen Thomas moved away early in the second semester. We freshies were quite elated when our girls1 team took the intramural basketball tournament Our la9t Job before school was out in the spring was to paint the C . With much prodding and supervision from the sophomores the job was completed to the satisfaction of all concerned. September 6, 1955 marked the beginning of our sophomore year We were glad to find that our class population had increased by three people They were Marcia and Jennie Mitchell, and Donnie White. After three weeks Donnie left us but soon we were joined by Sherri Johnson, so our number was undiminished. Mr. Holo was our class sponsor again this year. The class offi- cers elected were Sandra Sandy, president; Louise Tooke, secretary- treasurer, and Rex Albert, vice president. We chose Beth Williams as our Homecoming candidate. Our insistent campaigning, ticket selling, and pie baking brought us great exultation as we saw Beth, our candidate, walk down the floor as Homecoming queen. Initiation time again rolled around and we entered heartily into it knowing that the freshmen would have no chance for revenge. That night we held a sock hop to restore their faith in the human race. Later they gave us a return dance. Bill Harpster and Julie Kay Jensen left our ranks before Christ- mas. Jennie Mitchell did not come back after Christmas vacation. This year our girls' team again won the intramural basketball tournament• As the year drew to a close it was our job to see that the freshmen gave the C a fresh coat of whitewash. It was our turn to give orders and see that the job was done right. We began our year as Juniors with an even thirty members, in- trigued with the prospect of being upper classmen. We were pleased to discover that Mr. Holo would be our class SDon3or. Former classmates who were not with us this year were Janet Kortum, Sherri Johnson, and Marcia Mitchell. Later on Melvin Muramedy left us to Join the Navy and Marlene Kalstrom got married. As class officers we elected Guyna Lende, president; Marilyn Cleveland, secretary-treasurer; and Josie Blutt, vice president. Sandra Sandy was our Homecoming queen candidate. We took great pride in our class rings which arrived in Novem- ber. Naturally we thought they were the nicest ones yet. Before long the junior play cast began work on the play, Oh Promise Me, under the direction of Mrs. Cantrell. It was presented on January 22 and was a success. After much hard work and planning the Junior-senior prom was held May 3. Our theme was Oriental Gardens. A large crowd danced to the music of Mike Dosch. Rex Albert and Robert Nies were chosen as Boys' State delegates with Harold Labree and Charles Schweigert, alternates. Louise Tooke and Sandra Sandy were the Girls' State delegates. Alternates were Josie Blutt and Guyna Lende. Oir final year of high school began September 3, 1957. Upon counting noses we discovered that Charles Schweigert and Bemie Parrish were missing. After a few weeks Kay Elmore moved away. New additions to our class were Doreen Carroll and Robert Dean. Our class officers for our senior year were elected as follows: Dorothy Carter, president; Marilyn Cleveland, secretary-treasurer, and Donald Peabody, vice-president. Louise Tooke was our queen candidate. Mr. Holo was again our class sponsor. Our class play, His Name Was Aunt Nellie, directed by Mrs. Cantrell was presented in Ekalaka, to a large crowd. On April 26 we gave it at Albion. Everyone enjoyed themselves on Sneak Day May 11 and 12. We went through the Black Hills. 18
