Z4t 'ZOiit ei t i “7e4teune tt We, the senior class of 1959 of Choteau High School, being of supposedly sound mind and memory, do hereby publish our last will and testament. ARTICLE 1 As a whole, we will to the juniors our dignity and ambition. We will old notebooks, tests, marked-up textbooks, and anything else they can find that will be of help to them next year. ARTICLE II To the faculty members, we leave our gratitude and sincere appreciation for their assistance, untiring efforts, and abundant patience during our four years in high school. ARTICLE 111 We separately and individually bequeath our most prized and personal belongings to the follow- ing: KATHY JOHNSON wills her dignified laugh to Eleanor Rose and gives instructions to tame it. JACK SALMOND wills his manly stride to Beatrice Barton. Don't let it get out of hand, Beatrice. HAROLD YEAGER wills his ability to compete in the National High School Rodeo to Donnie Peters. JANET CLARK wills her one talent of singing like a sick canary to Betty Sheble, with orders not to abuse it. LOUELLA GEMAR wills her quiet ways to all the juniors who can’t seem to stay in the library because they lack this quality. JACK BRADLEY wills his hot Chevy (Ha, Ha) to Kenny Arensmeyer. It uses oil, Kenny. CAL GEORGE and VIC PERKINS leave all the Conrad girls to those junior boys who think they can handle them. SHARON McCOLLOM wills her gum-cracking to Pam Bleecker. Be careful, Pam, gum, you know, is illegal in C. H. S. JERI ARMSTRONG wills her gift of gab to Sharon Nordahl and her pill box to Bob Dunckel. KEITH CHALMERS wills his manly physique to Gerry Monkman. Don't tell anybody, but he is giving Gerry his shoulder pads along with it. RUTH ANN SWANSON leaves to Lynda Cummings her rare ability to break a finger while typ- ing. MARVIN SIVAK and MARVIN LARSON will their technique with women to anyone who might need it. But they leave instructions to be careful, because women, you know, are dangerous. JIM RAMAKER wills his ability to get along with the juvenile officer and the Fairfield town marshall to Bob Dunckel. How about it, Bob, can you still smile after you talk to them? SHARON DURFEE wills her style to be a sweater girl to Julie Jaumotte. RONNIE STROH leaves his ability to wear the noisiest heel plates and his inability to pick up his feet to Judy Parker. Don’t wear out the halls like Ronnie did, Judy. DON BAUMGARTNER leaves to Andy Anderson and Fred Jackson his ability to keep up the mor- al of the team. We think there is enough for both of you. TRAVIS COLLIER and GENE DEPNER leave to anybody with a good Dodge or Ford, all their trips to Fairfield. Leave the girls alone, they said, they want them all for themselves when they come back. z4t 20'M tutd 7e4tcune tt (Cont'd.) RAY VAN WICHEN wills his talents of arguing and being a woman hater (Ha Ha) to Bob Kel- ly. We see Bob already has a head start in putting them to use. JAN JAUMOTTE leaves the Choteau main drag and all her Dad's empty gas cans to Kalu Russell. It is an expensive pastime, Kalu. LILA SESSIONS wills her ability to stay far away from boys to Linda Whipple. How about that? Is it manageable? KAY FERRIS leaves to Jean La Ranee her technique of getting to school just two minutes before the buzzer sounds and not being late. VERNA ALLUM said she was leaving nothing, for she was going to take all her happy memories with her. MONTE RAE ANDERSON leaves her hooky-playing and getting caught at it to Linda Rose and Gail Johnson. GARY ARENSMEYER gives to Jim Seaton his tallness. You are going to have to grow a little, Jim, before you can catch up to Gary. JUDY BIVENS leaves her seat in government class to anybody who is sucker enough to take it. She thought about leaving Billy with someone, but couldn’t find anybody she could trust. MARLENE BLACK wills her talent to run a gas pump to Evalina Truchot. PETE BOUMA leaves his beautiful penmanship to Carol Dale. He thinks it might come in handy sometime. DICK KOCH leaves his typing speed to Janet Standish and David Allen. We don't think you can divide it up, for there won’t be quite enough to go around. CAROL ENDERSON wills to Dell Rowley her much-loved and much-used trombone. Keep it well-oiled, Dell. JANET HICKMAN wills all the Saturday nights at the Moose Hall to any junior girl that can shake just as wicked a leg as Janet did. LYNNE HOWARD wills to Edelane Hansman her 54-40 or fight. DON SLANGER wills to Jim Salmond all his draped pants. Maybe Luke can find a happy medium. ROGER SWANSON wills his freckles to Marlene Vance. Don’t wash too hard, Marlene, trans- parent ones come off. ELINOR THORMAN leaves her batching during her last semester to Karen Lussenden. MARLENE VAN SETTEN is leaving her shyness to John Meyers. BOB HERZOG is giving something dear and near to his heart also. He is leaving his guitar to Fern Hughes. He thinks she will take care of it. RUSSELL JORAMO wills his ability to keep his car running to the Cummings girls. You had better take it to the station, girls, Russell didn’t do a very good job. LANORE LARSON wills all her speech ability and her speech trips to Lois Eklund. JO ANN MOORE leaves her famous name of Bootstrap’’ to all the mountaineers who might sometime need an alias. LARRY MORHARDT leaves his feuds with Lois Gemar on the Agawam bus to anyone who thinks they can handle her. DORIS RIGGS wills her ability to have her name on the absence list every week to Marjorie McFarland. MYRTLE ROSE is willing her football shoes and halfback uniform to Mike Snyder and Ralph Bachmeir. Don't fight over who gets what, boys. RUSSELL MEECH wills to Bill Warneke his slimness and his crazy manner. Last, but by no means least, BARBARA STANDISH wills all her crushes to the junior girls. Don't worry, girls, there are enough to go around. We declare this to be our last will and testament and subscribe our names and affix our seal. 'Pxafi leccf, The time is May 26, 1969. The place is Durfee's ranch in Teton Canyon. The occasion is the reunion of the illustrious class of 1959. For entertainment on this grand occasion, Marvin Larson and his 500-piece orchestra are with us. We are fortunate to have him straight from the Ozarks, where he has been playing for the Grand Ole Opry. The food is being furnished by Lila Sessions, who now runs Choteau’s most exclusive restau- rant, the Lost Liver. She serves such delicacies as fried fleas, ground rattlesnake, surgar-coated octopus, and jellied angle worms. Several towns are represented here this evening. Louella Gemar, the manager of the new shopping center in that growing metropolis, Agawam, is here. Another influential citizen from Agawam is its mayor, Larry Morhardt. Also here is the Florence Nightingale of Pendroy, Myrtle Rose. From Farmington, we have Don Slanger, the owner and sole customer of Slanger’s Stagger Inn. The renowned world traveler, Verna Alium, is here. She has just returned from Antarctica, where she was trapping penguins for Choteau’s new zoo. The new zoo, by the way. is being run by Ronnie Stroh, who says that he always knew this was the work he was suited for. Lynne Howard is running a hat shop called Lynnie’s Lids. One of her creations is a hat you can fall out of trees with because it’s crush-proof. After his debut in the junior and senior class plays, Jim Ramaker went on to Hollywood. He is making movies with his side-kick, that new singing and guitar-playing sensation, Bob Herzog, who is also known as the Second Elvis. Visiting us from the world of high fashion in Paris is fashion designer and model, Ruth Ann Swanson. Sharon McCollum, after traipsing the wilds of Africa in search of rare and exotic furs, has come back to settle in Choteau and trap beavers for her first fur coat. Cal George, our authority on education, is now raking in the profits from his new booklet entitled, Questions Teachers Can’t Answer. Marvin Sivak is in the construction business. He just finished building a drag strip from Bynum to Conrad. Kathy Johnson, the senator from Montana, is actively engaged in her campaign for Presi- dent in the next election. Her opposition, of course, is Ray Van Wichen. Although the elec- tion won’t be for 3 more years, both candidates are in the thick of the battle. Keith Chalmers has brought along several of his new futuristic cars in hopes of selling them to his old classmates. His new cars are a cross between a Rambler and a Cadillac. They are, of course, called Radiilacs. The foreman of the Lazy L Ranch, Lanore Larson, is here this evening. After travelling all over the world she decided to settle down with her herefords. Gary Arensmeyer staned out simply farming on the Blackfeet reservation, but he made such a hit that he was initiated into the tribe. He is now called by no other name than Big Chief Long Eagle. “PtofiAecy (cont’d.) From the world of high finance, we have Janet Hickman, who rose from a bookkeeper to the controlling party on the New York Stock Exchange. The reason for her sudden success was that no one but she could figure out her bookkeeping. The scientific world is also represented tonight. Dick Koch, the inventor of the first rocket to Mars, is here, along with Russell Joramo, the pilot and sole survivor of the rocket when it crashed. After writing stories for the GROWL, Monte Rae Anderson went on and wrote several novels. Her current best seller is PILTDOWN PLACE. Another girl making money hand over fist is Doris Riggs. She collects pop bottles after the Moose dances and sells them at an enormous profit. Russell Meech is prospecting for gold in Teton Canyon. Right now he is asking his old high school pals for a grubstake. Janet Clark isn’t here tonight because she is recovering in her own hospital from the heart attack she had when she got the word that the Democrats won the last election. The international playboy, Victor Perkins, has returned, and with his seventh wife's money is starting to buy the entire town of Conrad. Abo with us is the Chief of the New York police department, Marlene Black. Kay Ferris arrived in her Model T. By the looks of the car, no one would ever suspect she has a few of her money bags hidden away in the hub caps. Roger Swanson is a traveling salesman selling little knick-knacks like special brushes for Cadillacs lined with grizzly bear fur, and wigs made from feathers for bald parakeets. Marlene Van Setten is still engaged in her favorite pastime, scaring cats and chasing dogs. The new president of Safeway is here tonight. Of course he is none other than the genius of the canned bean department, Travis Collier. Elinor Thorman is doing very well. She is in Idaho selling all of her old used cars. The Choteau Acantha has hired a sensational new cartoonbt. Gene Depner. His cartoon characters are Wilbur Van Snerdge and his pal Orville Peabody. Jeri Armstrong is selling rare Armstrong wigs. She makes them from her own hair. Busi- ness isn't so good now, however, because she is growing bald. Peter Bouma drove down in one of his newer cars. He is in charge of spending his father's money. Carol Enderson now owns her own cigarette factory. Her slogan is, Buy cigarettes parents can’t smell. Don Baumgartner plays basketball for the Boston Celtics. On the side he advertises for Marlboro cigarettes, Gillete blue blades, and various other sundry items. Mountaineer Jo Ann Moore has come down from her hermitage on top of Ear Mountain to be with us this evening. After graduating from Choteau High, Judy Bivens attended secretarial school, where she learned little tricks like sitting on the boss's lap. We find that Harold Yeager now owns all of the land west of Choteau to the mountains, and besides all that he is the champion cowboy of the world. Jan Jaumotte is the official photographer for this reunion. She had to retire from her work on Expose Magazine because some party pooper kept breaking her flash bulbs. Also present is that brilliant criminal lawyer, John (Perry Mason) Salmond. He arrived after getting Sharon Durfee off the hook for a traffic violation, improper passing, which, in her case, means driving under large trucks instead of around them. Barbi Standish is busy operating a radar screen. Now none of those Fairfield boys can slip past her. The last person to arrive was Jack Bradley. He came up in one of his own airplanes. He is the owner of the airline company whose slogan is, He who tries to get there fastest usually arrives lastest. k 1 Travis Janet H.
