7 netu ict cc W DUBOIS TEMPLES OF LEARNING. TO THE COMING GENERATIONS WHO WILL PASS THROUGH THESE HALLS OF LEARNING, WE HUMBLY DEDICATE THIS ISSUE OF THE HIGH WIND ANNUAL. WE ALSO SINCERELY HOPE THAT IN THE YEARS TO COME, THAT YOUR EDUCATION WILL BECOME MORE EFFICIENT AS YOU TaKE UP YOUR STUDIES IN THE PREPARATION FOR LIFE. THESE HUMBLE BUILDINGS HAVE HOUSED GREAT OPPORTUNITIES. IT IS YOUR PRIVALEGE TO GRASP THESE OPPORTUNITIES. FIRST PICTURE: THE OLD AND WORTHY LOG CABIN WHICH HOUSED OUR FIRST DUBOIS STUDENTS IN THEIR SEARCH FOR LEARNING. SECOND PICTURE: THE OLD WHITE ' SCHOOL BUILDING WHICH RE- - . ________________________________ PLACED THE LOG CABIN, AND WHICH PROUDLY BOASTED TWO ROOMS. THIS BUILDING IS NOW GONE, 3UT MANY WILL REMEMBER. THIRD PICTURE: THIS IS OUR PRESENT LIBRARY WHICH IS SITUATED NEAR OUR SCHOOL. HERE WE HOLD LIBRARY CLASSES AND DO OUR REFERENCE WORK. FOURTH PICTURE: OUR PRESENT SCHOOL HOUSE, NEATLY BUILT OF LOGS, IN KEEPING WITH OTHER CITY BUILDINGS, HAS ALREADY BECOME TOO SMALL FOR THE GRADES AND HIGH SCHOOL. WE HOPE IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE ANOTHER BUILDING WILL BE ERECTED THAT WILL PROVIDE SPACE ENOUGH FOR MANY GENER- ATIONS TO COME. --THE HIGH WIND STAFF ad mi m strati on Is CO £Qoavb ucaiion TOP ROW: JAMES A SHAW, JOHN McKIE, BEN H.

Any similarity to any other will or last testament, and any similarity to the members of the Class of 1947, liYing or in a state of coma, will be highly complementary, for we strive for individuality, although we reap the unpredictable. To the Faculty we give our appreciation for the efforts made in trying to wedge knowledge into our dense blooks of understanding. To the Board of Education we will our thanks for providing the oven in which our four year loaf has been baked into High School Bread. (Bred) To Mrs. Welty and Mr. Robertson we will a respite from out voraoious appetites and helter skelter habits. To the incoming Freshmen we bequeath the spaoe we have taken and hope that you not merely fill it, but use it to advantage. To the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors we leave a multitude of unfinished tasks and trust that you may aooomplish muoh more than we have done. I, Jack Boedeker, do solemnly swear,(and howI) to will to all the coming generations, the gum I have parked on the under side of my desk. There will be plenty for the poor students who have been denied that privilege this year. I, Alioe Leseberg, do bequeath to Junie Hulett my slender figure, and may it enable her to wiggle out of as many tight spots as I have done. I, Dorothy Lou Meokem, do solemnly will my preoious freckles to Dorothy Taylor. May she use them as punctuation marks to enable her to stay on the Honor Roll. I, Phyllis Taylor, hereby bequeath my height and back seat to Marlene Young, that she might grow quietly in the shade and become taller in stature and in fame. I, Florence Grubb, do solemnly will my ability to grow tall to Donna Marie Meokem. May she be as tall in physique as in Intellect. I, Tommy Redman, do solemnly bequeath my Casanova complex to all the little fellows in the new Freshman Class — as though they didn't need it! I, Howard Shipley, do will and bequeath my lovely Western blue eyes of liquid fire to Tommy Ripley, - Just for a ohange, Tom. I, Gene Shipley, (Eugene to you) Do will all my little trinkets and gadgets to Billy Johnson to be used when teacher isn't looking. I, Kenneth Beyer, do solemnly will,(Yes, I can be solemn) my flaming top of alluring red, to John Shipley. Not that he will need it, but it must be left to someone. I, Rita Taylor, do hereby will and bequeath my little feet to Jim Shaw, providing that he will use them in place of his own olumsy mud hooks. Individually and oolleotively, we hereby will and bequeath all our alibis excuses, clever tricks, intelligence camouflage, witty wiseoracks, subtle phrases, and mlraoulous stamina, to all Seniors who might pass this way. Signed, published, and declared by the Senior Class of 1947 as their last will and testament. Witnessed by Superintendent H.W.Busby. THE CLASS OF 1947 A.D DUBOIS HIGH SCHOOL, DUBOIS, WYOMING.

The Basketball Season of 1946-47 gave our community many exciting evenings of entertainment, even though we did not roll up much of a score. The games were close and the interest was keen. We had a number of coaches during the year; Winfield Peterson Earl Fossey, and James Spriggs, all of whom did their best to make us a winning team. We nlaced seventh in the District Tournament at Greybull, and all in all we do not feel that our year s work was in vain. This year we lose four good players who will graduate in May. We will miss these boys, for they are among the best on the team. We only hope that the Junior High School will present us with more material with the incoming Freshmen THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE ATTAINED GRADES BETTER THAN A II DURING ONE OR MORE OF THE SIX WEEKS PERIODS THIS YEAR BILLY ec cc U(mov rom (c ueen Ever popular June Ella Redman was elected Queen of the Junior Prom by a wide margin. June Ella is a leader, efficient in her work and gracious of personality. Speech The Speech Class under the able direction of Mrs. Jean Weeks gave everyone in high school the opportunity to take part in the annual declamatory contest. A photograph of Arden Cristen was not available for he is not in Dubois High School now. He won second place with the reading, His Night Out. DOROTHY LOU MECKEM won first place in the Declamatory Con- test with the dramatic reading from THE ROBE. Dorothy was also voted BEST GIRL CITIZEN of 1947 by the Student Council and won the P.T.A. Award. JOHN SHIPLEY captured the third place with his humorous reading THE GAS AND THE DENTIST. John was also voted BEST BOY CITIZEN of 1947 by the Student Council and won the P.T.A. Award.
