DEAN BAKER would will his newly mortgaged Model A car to Jerry Asay and John Lusty, but he feels that it will be of great necessity in his travels to and from Missoula, and for future dates. Watch that gas gage, girls. HOWARD TRUCHOT wills his rabbit foot, clover leaf, and horse shoe, all of which contributed to his success in high school, to Ray Yeager. BETTY KAYE BAKER wills her doodling notebook used for doodling in classes to Trudy Clark so that she can do little. RICHARD BACHMEIER wills his books, locker, and brains, what's left of them, to Linda Leigland. VIRGINIA LINDER, our future secretary, wills the mimeographing machine in the commercial room to Sandy Orne. The voice of experience says, HKeep hands out of machine while in operation. It works better that way. LeROY YEAGER has a sneaky way of getting out of sports. However, it is too sneaky for him. He wills his ability to shoot himself to Robert McAuley and Lee Drummond. DOROTHY JENSEN wills all her pep and energy to Carol Howard and Anna Lou Bouma. There is quite enough to go around. Tall, dark, and handsome JON HUFFMAN would will his quiet, shy manner to Robert Hollar, but he is quite sure he will need these fine qualities for future flirting. JANICE BAUMGARTNER wills all her dates with out-of-town boys to her sister Roberta, in hopes that she will keep track of them while Janice is away. LLOYD PEDERSEN wills his title The Perfect Idiot from the Senior Class Play to Robbie Erickson as a consolation because he probably won't make valedictorian anyway. CONNIE POORE and RITA RAYMAKER will their positions as Chief Cooks and Bottle Washers at the Log-Cabin Drive- Inn to Nancy Groot and Yvonne Gefeller. They hope that you will be able to keep the salt and pepper shakers, ketchup jars, and such from being stolen by regular patrons. ROBERT HANSON wills his tan 1951 Ford to Lynn Nordahl. This car is very unique. It knows the road to and from Bynum by heart; no steering is necessary. MONA KAY LARSEN would like to will that friendly patrolman who keeps bothering her on weekends to Toni Lussenden and Nancy Davison. Incidently, the complex he gave her goes with him. RICH WILSON wills his parking place on the radiator across from Unk's room to Floyd Joramo so that he can watch the girls go by. Have fun! SUZANNE PERKINS wills her ability to concentrate and get her studying done in spite of noise and other distractions to Susan Gravdal. HAROLD WOOD wills his Ham operator's license to Betty Jo Tibbies so that she won't run out of people to talk to. SHARON ALZHEIMER wills all her executive positions which she held while in CHS to Frances Banis. Don't beat them too hard, because then they don't respond too well. RICHARD JOHNSON, the strong silent one of our class, would will his height to Mike McCartney and Gordon Larson, but he thinks he will need all he has, for some reason or another. ELLEN HANSON would will her job at the Chevrolet Garage, but she doesn't have it anymore. And if she did, she wouldn't give it away anyway. Incidently, she wasn't fired. STANLEY PERKINS wills all his poor bum lambs from his vast sheep ranch to Dana Boussard so that she can grow her own wool for a complete sweater wardrobe. GARY MOON wills his J.F.K. forelock, which increased his appeal to the girls, to Rodney Schilling. Remember, a little dab will do it!

TOM We, the class of 1961, being of sound body and free mind do hereby announce our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To our teachers we leave our textbooks, tests, and all the grades they have given us, along with the many treasured memories of our presence. ARTICLE II To the whole High School we leave the crowded hallways, the narrow slippery stairs, the reluctant water fountains, and our good times in our four years of High School. ARTICLE III Each class member would like to bequeath these following prized possessions: ARLENE STOTT wills her seat on the Pendroy bus to Jennie Bouma. GARY ARMSTRONG wills his manly physique to Jim Murphy providing that he puts it to as good a use as Gary did on the dance floor. JOANNE MEADOWS wills all her empty Pepsi bottles and the hundreds of moldy, deteriorated movie magazines hidden in her basement to Kelly Cannon. She would be very happy if you picked them up soon. DARRELL LOWRANCE wills his ability to make three different dates for the same night and keep them to Scott Sea- ton and Darrell Stott. EUNICE ARENSMEYER wills her ability to get stuck with drawing posters for important events to Twila Burt. Eunice says, Tell everyone to quit making up important dates, will ya, huh. H DENNIS KNAFF wills his beloved geometry book to Larry Swanson. He begs you to take good care of it for he will miss it very much. DARLENE YEAGER and EDITH BOUMA will their ability to keep house and still keep up with their school work to Karen Low ranee. JAMES CONNOLE wills for one year his liking for girls with long hair, be they red-heads, blonds, or brunettes to Roy Inbody and Wayne Carlson. The two clippers of our class, WINI VAIL and JANET MOULTON, will their ability to attend class meetings by cutting out geometry class. Because this ability results in their receiving zeros and other such marks, they would like to will it to Robbie Ann Crocker and Carolynn Weist. LONNIE McCOLLOM and DICK MOORE will their happy, gay, but truant hunting days to John Richem, Wally Hitch- cock, and Jim Arensmeyer. STEVE KOCH wills his up-standing position in the philosophers club to David Hart. JOANN CHALMERS wills her ability to know all about rodeos, especially the part involving horse races, to Patti Schiller in hopes she will enjoy the future rodeos. JAMES CRANE wills his famous Seven-Year Bunny Hop Rabbit Twitch, to John Connole and Neal Wedum. which he acquired from the Senior Class Play. MARION BATEMAN at one time had long hair nice and neat; then she cut it off and it lies in a bundle, all in a heap. She wills this heap to Mr. Buck, just in case he gets bald in the next few years. DAVID PURKETT and KENNY ARENSMEYER will their efficient but long lasting Five Year Plan to Joe Gleason and Gene Bruno.

 xofc iecef. The day is May 23, and the year 1961. The time is 8:00 pm. This scene takes place in the dining hall of the new, multi-million dollar Choteau High School. The main characters are the members of the 1961 graduating class. This could be called Reunion - 1971. As we look over the crowd, we see many dear and familiar faces. We see Mrs. L. Lemmon, the former Sharon Alzheimer, who is now spending her spare time en- gaged as secretary to Michael Anthony, secretary to John Bearsfoot Tipton, multimillionaire. The Lemmons have four lovely children who live with them at their plush home on Nob Hill. We also see Mr. Ken Arensmeyer, the distinguished authority on How to Farm With the Least Amount of Effort, and the author of the best-seller of the same title. Nearby, we also see Madame Eunice, known to us as Eunice Arensmeyer, who arrived a little late from Paris where she is the top fashion designer. Her fashions are widely known as Fashions of the Hour, in case you girls are interested. And there is Gary Armstrong, better known perhaps as Count Twinkle Toes, founder of the new and now internationally famous Twinkle Toes School of Dance, whose main course is in how to dance the Twinkle Toes, an old and charming dance brought back from a recent trip to Twinklenavia. Betty Kaye Baker tells us she is now married to a famous surgeon and spends most of her time in the operating room, (assisting him, of course.) She also modestly confesses that she records in her spare time. You may have heard her recent hit, Have Scalpel, Esther Mask - Will Operate. The former Joann Chalmers we are also happy to have with us tonight. She took precious time out from teaching her Happy Tots nursery school to be here. She specializes in teaching children of well- known government diplomats the proper methods of getting along together. Jim Crane, our '61 Class President has gone far in the business world. He has kept up his early-set tradition of starring in the spotlight. He is now successful ukelele-playing president of Space Enter- prises, Inc. Our own Ellen Hanson, now private secretary to the U.S. Ambassador in Turkey, had planned to be here tonight too, but a mix-up in rocket scheduling will find her arriving in Choteau just one day late. We were sorry to hear that Marion Bateman would be unable to come tonight. As you know, Ma- rion was always one to question, but we wonder if perhaps she hasn't gone too far. A physicist, she is experimenting with the atom. Split it? Fine. Put it back together? No. I'm sure we all join in hearty wish that she get well soon. Now, we see our only columnist a little farther down the table. It is none other than Dean Baker, whose column was just last week chosen as the Most-Read Column of 1971. It is entitled Dear Abner, just cuz he thought Dear Abby needed a little competition. Janice Baumgartner, now famous beautician, has just recently returned from Hollywood where she was in charge of all hair styles for the movie School Daze, a satire on those 'good old days' of 1961. She tells us that she had the most trouble keeping the peroxide strip in Yul Bryner's now-thinning hair. (He plays the part of one of the faculty members, of course.) Jim Connole has become the world's greatest big game hunter. Just recently Jim shot the biggest mouse Africa had to offer. The natives there have made Mr. onnole a hero for getting rid of the crea- ture that has been virtually terrifying the Ubangis. Bob Hanson, of Broadway fame after his discovery in the Senior Class Play, has turned to his original plans for working with the police department. He gets the biggest kick out of patrolling the Strip be- tween Choteau and Bynum. Because of the college built recently in that fair city, he now has more traffic offenders than he would care to admit. By the way, any of your children wanting an education there in the future may apply directly to Bynum Tech of which our own Horse, Le Roy Yeager is the famous, or infamous, whichever you prefer, coach of all sports activities. Also here, directly from Bermuda, is Dorothy Jensen, who runs the D-Bar-J racing stables there. Any bet on her horses we feel would be safe. We are not, however, encouraging gambling of any sort. After dinner tonight, we shall be entertained by Sir Jon's Philharmonic, which does wonders for the still popular rock 'n roll. By the way. Sir Jon (Huffman, of course) is establishing a new dance band which we feel sure will be ready to perform at our next reunion. Our only lady doctor, Mona Kay Larsen, is now professor of psychology at Princeton University.
