The girls wore the large paper bags used by dry cleaners, a silk stocking over their heads, large rubber over- shoes, an onion medallion and cold cream make-up while the boys were arrayed in girls’ shorts and blouses, sun bonnets and a toothbrush lavaliere. The annual painting of the FT' in the spring put the finishing touch on the beginning year. In comparison to the freshman, the sophomore year seemed quiet. The events of the year were a dance given in December and the annual class picnic in May. “Buh” Frieling took his place as presi- dent of the class for the rest of his high school years with Mr. Berg accompanying him as class advisor. The class of ’53 realized they were progressing in high school when they received their class rings just before Christmas, 1951. The Perfect Idiot was the junior class play with Pat Reichelt and Evon Ander- son sharing leading roles. Also in the month of April was the elaborately decorated prom presenting the theme, ‘‘Across the Wide Missouri.” Barbara Lenington and Donald E. Olson co-starred in the successful senior production, “A Date W ith Judy.” Baccalaureate services were held May 24. At Commencement, May 27, the class was headed by Helen Jacobsen and Donald E. Olson as valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively. Of the 38 grad- uating seniors the following completed twelve years in Fort Benton schools: Fred Arnst, Evon Anderson, Barbara Lenington, Alma Lenington, Don E. Olson, Anne Marie Stranahan. 6
