Class History On a crisp fall day in '54 our little steam engine, pulling thirty-six cars, chugged down the tracks and screeched to a halt in front of station F,l-I. S, Our engineer, Tillitt, and his faithful crew safely pulled us through a deafen- ing crash with the sophomores. Spring came and we steamed up to the F, only to retum unrecognlzable, Our first stop completed, we celebrated by every- one's going on picnics. After refueling in the fall of '55, our faithful steamer, under the direction of trainmaster, Edwin Blanks, launched into the initiations of the lowly frosh. Patterson took the throttle this year, and began his career with a second prize Dogie Day float. Driving and geometry were the classes that gave our train of twenty-nine cars an uncomfortable ride. After repairing our trusty little engine, in the fall of '56, we found we had only twenty-six cars to begin the high iron ride. We again had Blanks in command with Volden at his right side. With this combination we were cer- tain to gain fame, and started the year by our Road Runner float winning first prize in the Dogie Day parade. The junior prom seemed a hopeless pro- ject, but our lively crew worked furiously the last week, overcoming what looked like a sure derailment, to bring forth a lovely Japanese Fantasy com- plete with Constance the Dragon. Our little locomotive puffed up to Bozeman to leave Dixie Fink at Girls' State and on to Dillon to let Swanson and Tillitt off at Boys' State. The fall of '57 dawned bright and clear on our little steam engine. Mc- Keever proudly stepped into the engineer's seat to guide us safely through our last, but mighty year. fSome of our crew were standouts in our train - the athletes, pep leaders, and musical crew members.j After senior banquet, class nite, baccalaureate, and commencement, we wound up our eventful, but scenic run, with eighteen cars and the fame of being the littlest, but live- liest, train in many years.
