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)

CLASS PROPHECY Ten years have gone by, and it's about time we looked in on the charming class of 54. My! how they've changed. Today we come upon a sign which reads No Trespassing, The Miller Millions. Here in the heart of the mountains we find none other than MAX MILLER and SHIRLEY PAULSON. What's that Shirley is driving? No not a Lincoln, but a herd of sheep. Baaa! Back in the big city we find BETTY LOU SHERMAN on Broadway playing the big theatres. She's always repeating that old familiar phrase, Come up and see me sometime. Flash! At 8:45 p.m. the people of United States will hear Miss ELAINE STIRLAND give her famous speech, How to Tell a Good Egg From a Bad One. Without a candle? While strolling down by the River Seine, we find TERRY FLYNN Under the Bridges of Paris with Eartha Kitt. He must be trying to find out why C'est Si Bon means It's so Good. Our local lady cop, MAE BUTLER, has just presented CHUCK HOWE, Highway Patrolman, with two tickets. What were they for Chuck, overparking? For the past ten years we have found FRED BRINKMAN scaling that huge rock wall in Billings. Don't give up yet Fred, she may still be there. Head stylist at the Imporium, San Francisco's exclusive department store, is Mrs. Joe Morris. How do you manage, DIANE CLINE, with all those little Joes? While wandering down the halls of Harvard, we find DAVID CROCKETT and JEANETTE ANDERSON. Are they making histoiy or teaching it? Making a quick stop at the Spa, we find its cheerful owner, ROGER DONEY. shooting a cool game of pool with his old classmate, CONNIE McCOY. Let's keep it pool, Roger. If you're full aches and pains, drop down to Dr. McCannel's office, where you will still find YVONNE FELTON. She's always good for a shot. DAYLE HOBBS has just brought her well used baby cradle down to HARVEY FUNK'S Upholstery Shop. His motto is, If I can't pad it, nobody can. The new owner of the Burma Shave Company is none other than our own BILL Mc-PHERSON. His favorite salesgirl, BONNIE OVERCAST, is still trying to sell him on his own product. Oh! Those rough nights. HARRIET HARDER has just joined the W.A.C.'s in hopes of a chance meeting with her fiancee. Keep your chin up Harriet. Uncle Sam can't keep him forever. The Florence Nightingale for our overseas troops is HELEN NEIBAUER. Her sweet winning ways could restore anyone's good spirits. DELBERT IVEY has just been discharged as chief cook from the S. S. Montana. The C rations couldn't feed Del, let alone the whole Navy. The long search for a face for Gerber's Baby Food has just ended. The sensational baby face of GLENN PATCHELL is now at your local grocery store. RUTHANN STEINMETZ has spent the last ten years collecting Dear John records. Have you added any little Dear John's, Ruthann? On the sidewalks of New York, we find our own little ROGER WAGNER playing his accordion for the public. He holds his own tin cup. Here comes the Salvation Army, and look who's banging the big bass dium. Why HOWARD WALWORTH, did you trade in your alto? The former rodeo queen, NAIDA WHITE, has given up her career for a family of little boxers. Woofl Woofl As we look in on CAROL WURTH, we find her strolling up and down Wall Street, Batting her eyes at the millionaires. She's been at it for the past ten years, and hasn't caught one yet. After ten years we still find GORDON FRIEDE working at Jamieson's. He has now been promoted to head grease monkey. MARILEE CHAPMAN is married now. She has given up her career of drawing faces, and is now scrubbing them. Our handsome DEEN BOE has joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His motto is, I always get my woman. Vassar has just enrolled a new member, in the person of DARRELL TUCKER. We knew you wanted to go to college Darrell, but we sure didn't know where. RICHARD BRESSLER is now the head of the Wildlife Reservatory at Lake Bowdoin. He always was strictly for the birds. SHARON MORGAN has given up her business career, and is back at Lone Tree. Were those dances that good, Sharon? HOWARD DAHL is working at the Milk Rivei Coal Mine. There always was slack in his pants. DICK ROSENBAUM is still delivering groceries for the Food Center, except he's using a horse and dray. The boss thought it would be more economical. MYRLA NEUFELD and JIM McCOY are now married. They're what you call the real McCoys.

He'll remain there until the potato prices qo up. WALTER SIVERTSEN is now the head mop salesman for Sears Roebuck. We find ADOLPH and IRVIN STEINMETZ in the dark continent of Africa. When we asked why they left home, they merely replied— Ugnnhh1 DONNA MICHALSON and VERA VOSS are still the best customers of the Grill Cafe. Much to our despair, CLAUDE SARGENT has turned into a hermit. The coal mine caved in shortly after graduation. LOIS PETERSON just crashed Broadway. Too bad, that was her boyfriend's favorite car. BEN MORRIS is the new owner of J. C. Penneys. His motto is, Buy your products here, I guarantee they're cheap. BEVERLY SMITH is now comfortably retired with the wages she saved from the hot lunch.
