This year was full of activities in which many of the seniors participated. First of all, they had their chance to initiate the freshmen into high school, and then to attend the return party given by the frosh. With about six weeks of rehearsal, the seniors presented the annual senior play, which was The Man Who Came To Dinner. This play was directed by Miss Mildred Glover. This year many of the senior boys were on the football and basketball teams. Some of the seniors were members of student council, pep club, baton twirling, and in debate teams. Also, some of the members of the senior class went to Bozeman for school week on May 2, 3, and 4. On April 25, the seniors escorted the frosh with their brooms and whitewash, up the hill to give a little shine to the B. On May 7, the school was a little different-it was the seniors' sneak day. They took one school bus and had a picnic in the Shonkin mountains. The night of May 9, a class night was given for the enjoyment of the seniors. At this time a comedy short of the seniors' past, present, and future was given. Also, the different awards were presented to the high school students. At baccalaureate, May 19, Reverend Wallace Smith and Reverend Earle McKnight were the speakers. A program by the students was given at commencement on Wednesday, May 22. After the last night, the seniors, gladly yet sadly, bade the under- classmen goodbye and wished them happy years at FBI-IS. CLASS PROPHECY December 25, 1966 Fort Benton-JACK LEPLEY and CHARLES BEHRENS, those two medical geniuses of Fort Benton, are spending Christmas with their wives and children. It is the first time they have seen them since they started experimenting on palpacosis of the brain from which their former classmate DEAN FISHER, the comedian of all time, is suffering. Nothing has been discovered and DEAN has disappeared. His close friend and fellow freight train rider, DON POGREBA, has been conducting an investigation as to his whereabouts, but so far has found nothing. POGIE. you may have heard, is the honorary Prince of India, because of his having 621 wives. JOHN HANKINS was running a close second with 620 wives until 10 of his wives disappeared. We fear there may have been foul play, but we can't be sure. Lorna-FAY ALLARD was killed instantly today while trying to be with JEAN LUNDY more. JEAN had climbed to the top of the Loma Store trying to catch up with DON HUFFMAN for Sadie Hawkins day. This however, was made impossible by DON'S use of CHARLES STEWART'S newest invention, the human wings. CHARLES discovered these while trying to protect his daughter from kidnappers, lby the way, little Breezy looks more like her mother every dayl.

CLASS WILL FAY ALLARD wills her shyness to Patty Stewart. Fay says that, since she move-d to Loma, she has no need for it. Use it sparingly in company, Patty. BERNARD BACH wills his pug nose to Mary Ellen. He says that his sniffer has been very serviceable in the mountain air: so take care of it, Pudgy. EVELYN BEECHER wills her giggle to Olive Lane. As this has been very useful to Evelyn, please don't lose it, Olive. CHARLES BEHRENS wills his wavy hair to Donavan Bixby. If wave set won't do it. Donavan, you might try using bear grease. BERNICE COOPER wills her ability on the Cannon Report to Bertie June Hankins- from one editor to another. Keep up the good work, Bertie. DEAN FISHER wills his ability to play pinochle and pool to Bob-just to keep it in the family. He also wills to Bob his trusty shotgun so that he may shoot many geese. MIRIAM GESSAMAN wills her graceful gait and baby face to Betty Breiter. As these have served Miriam through four years of high school, she hopes that they will do you as much good, Betty. ' RALPH GUY wills his ability to get high scores in typing speed tests to his good friend and loyal companion, Kenneth Clark. EWELL HANKINS wills his baby innocence to Altha Frieling with the fond hope that it will serve her well in the future. JOHN HANKINS wills his '34 Chevrolet to any student who wishes to make a trip to Shelby. The students who went with John will probably be glad to take advantage of this offer. DAN HAZEN refuses to will his entire interest in Highwood to anyone else, but he says that he doesn't mind sharing it. DONALD HUFFMAN wills his ability to play the trombone to Bob Lundy, and wills his ability to be different to anyone who has the nerve. HOLLY HYATT wills his natural red hair and freckles to Vera Smith. Although you seem to have acquired the red hair on your own hook, Vera, we are certain that you can use the freckles. SHIRLEY KLAY wills persistence and determination to make use of her knowledge to Bob Doll and Larry Granger. This determination has carried Shirley a long way through high school and she wills it to Bob and Larry in the hope that they might graduate in the upper fourth of their class. JACK LEPLEY wills Mary Ellen to Chris Small, if he wants her. It seems there has always been a little conflict here, and, now that Jack is leaving. he wills his high school love for Mary Ellen to Chris. JEAN LUNDY wills her ability to ride horseback to Ina Mae Milledge. After Jean's many spills and tumbles in learning to ride horseback, she has decided to let others see what they can do. EDWIN MCCAFFERTY wills his room at Cooper's to anyone who is interested. We all hope George Frteling doesn't break the door down in trying to get the room. STEVE MCSWEENEY wills his noisy nature to Jim Elliot, who definitely does not need it. 5.
