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

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

CLASS PROPHECY July 20, 19681 Finding out that I had six weeks vacation, I decided to get things rolling toward out class reunion that was to be held this year. My first step was to write letters to all ray classmates. I asked if the last week of August would be convenient for the reunion. I also asked them what they had been doing the last ten years. Replys started coming shortly. I was surprised to see how many different walks of life everyone had followed. Mrs. Josie McGragor, the ex-Josie Blutt. is a happily married woman and a gym teacher of great renown. Some of her students have been three-time Olympic winners in such events as running, tumbling, and swimming. Word was received from Rex Albert, who just became famous ror finding an absolute cure of cancer, that he could gladly make it to the reunion. By the way, he confided that his last patient to receive the cure was Dora Hilton, a famous Ship-and-Shore blouse model. I knew her as Doreen Carroll, one of my classmates. Louise Tooke married a local boy and is now quite rich. This is a result of her husband's experimenting and finding a superior breed of sheep that survives in all kinds of weather. To see me in person was Gilbert Kreitel. I was surprised to find that he has been a subway ticket-taker all these years right under my nose. Robert Nies has recently graduated from the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado; and has somewhat dubiously taken up his duties as the youngest officer to work in the rocket-ship field. Also very prominent in this field is John Odell. He has done some brilliant work which enabled the United States to beat Russia to the moon. Sandra Hudson, formerly Sandra Sandy, has just returned from a tour to Europe, spending most of her time in France. This lucky girl married into vast wealth after school days and has been traveling ever since. I also received a note from Ruby Wash. who is Sandra's maid and traveling companion. Ruby is doing okay for herself, too. On the side line she sells ladies' negligee and has made money at it Rose Ann McCamish married Howard Turbiville who has been a math teacher at Little Rock, Arkansas for the last four years. She spends her time chasing after little mathematicians to see that they stay out of trouble. Sole owner of five garages in the Montana-Dai'ota area is Willard Kuehn. He can be seen driving around in a 1968 Continental, one of the first atom-powered cars put commercially on the market. Barbara Hedges is an artist for an architect firm. She spends her time drawing pictures of houses for advertising for this firm. Harold LaBree is still trying to prove that a person can break wild horses by talking them out of their wildness rather than merely riding the creatures until their spirit is broken. Two girls of my class are really showing the country the power of the female mind. They are Karen Wollesen and Yvonne Rilley. These two girls have worked their way up from mere enlisted Wacs to the Co- Secretary position of the Department of Defense. Beth Williams telegramed to say that she would be at the reunion with flying colors. Beth is a high-up executive for the Remmington- Wash Oil Company. She said she was bringing Marilyn Cleveland, her very efficient private secretary, with her. Don Peabody, married to a famous ballet star, owns a chain of grocery stores all over the country. He is about to put the Safeway out of business. He calls his chain Save-a-way. One of the top stars in Hollywood today is Vem Jardel, formerly Vernon Jardee. His talent was first discovered when he acted in our senior class play. All this success has not spoiled him as he still remains true to his high school sweetheart. 19
