CLASS HISTORY The class of freshmen who made their entrance in the fall of 1950 soon proved that they didn't fall under the term of green freshmen. Starting off with a bang we elected Glenn Patchell for our president; Bill McPherson, vice president; Terry Flynn, secretary; Darrell Tucker, treasurer; and David Crockett and Elaine Stirland as Student Council representatives. Mr. Christianson was our sponsor. Already known for our achievements we repeated the grand performance of the previous year by electing Chuck Howe as our sophomore class president-Howard Walworth was elected vice president; Mae Butler, secretary-treasurer; and Student Council representatives were again David Crockett and Elaine Stirland. Mr. Prestbo was our class sponsor. In the fall of 1952 when we again entered the high school it was as upperclassmen. To prove ourselves worthy of the title we elected Max Miller, president; Betty Lou Sherman, vice president; Shirley Paulson, secretary-treasurer; and Chuck Howe and Jeanette Anderson for our representatives in the Student Council. Mr. Denny was our sponsor. This was a big and successful year for us as our class play, Every Family Has One, and our Junior Prom, with the theme Over the Rainbow, were outstanding. When we entered the halls of the school as mighty seniors we were fairly bursting with pride for Elaine Striland had come out on top again. She had been elected Governor of Girls' State and was also one of two Montana delegates to Girls' Nation in Washington D. C. Our final year was started by electing Fred Brinkman, president; Shirley Paulson, vice president; Deen Boe, secretary-treasurer; and Del Ivey and Helen Neibauer as Student Council representatives. We elected Mr. Bowen for our sponsor. Heading the Student Council were: David Crockett, president; Chuck Howe, vice president; Betty Lou Sherman, secretary; and Jeanette Anderson, treasurer. The title of the senior play was Turn Back the Clock. The D. A. R. Award went to Phyllis Porter and the Bausch and Lomb Medal was presented to David Crockett. Valedictorian was Jeanette Anderson and Salutatorian was David Crockett. Last year's National Honor Society members, David Crockett, Terry Flynn, and Elaine Stirland were joined by six new members. They were: Jeanette Anderson, Deen Boe, Mae Butler, William McPherson, Charles Howe, and Glenn Patchell. ( 19)

The play was built around the universal truth that all generations are more or less alike after all. The clock is actually turned back to the gay twenties, when the parents of typical family of today were in their prime. The play gives the younger generation a glimpse of an unknown past, and the older folks, a past so well remembered. We see the funny courtship of the parents of the play in the age of the Charleston, the yellow slicker raincoat, the raccoon overcoat, ukuleles, jazz, and painted jalopies. The play was a true picture of the twenties, when parents and children behaved in almost exactly the same way that they behave today.
