We, the Class of 1959, dedicate our Pioneer to the people who guided our first uncertain steps into the world, who were always there to comfort us when things didn't go just right, and who never failed to give their utmost support to all our activities through the years. To you, our parents, we dedi- cate and share these pages. 3 SCHOOL BOARD Bruce Gilbert, Clerk. Ingolf Birkeland Dear Friends, If I ever had any doubts about the wisdom of my selection of a profession, the past year in Fort Benton has dispelled them. The returns— material, aesthetic, and spiritual—for me have been far greater than I could hope to earn or de- serve . That the transition between superintendents, the move to a new building, and the hosting of two tournaments and a music festival in addition to the regular activities and achievements of a school year could be accomplished smoothly—in spite of the fact that your superintendent took a forced leave of absence—is a tribute to the stu- dents, staff, school board and past administration Remembering the past year will help me to maintain and strengthen my faith in the worth of serving youth. Sincerely, D. J. Hoynes Your Superintendent HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY MR. JACK LEPLEY Government, Biology, Senior Class Sponsor, Football MRS. MARY TAYLOR English, Junior Play MR.

Wyley Good was elected president, and he was aided throughout the year by Vice President Jim Olson, Secretary Carol Peterson, Treasurer Kirby Salisbury, and Mr. Herbert Berg, Class Sponsor. We all agreed that the painting of the B and the traditional picnic and water fight afterward was the highlight of our first year. Mary Ellen Bessette was selected as Prom Princess. We began our Sophomore yeaF by again electing Wyley Good president. Other officers were Gary Towner, Vice President; June Crane, Secretary; Jim Olson, Treasurer; and Mr. Les Curry, Class Sponsor. We selected June Marie Helland as Homecoming Queen Candidate, and June Crane represented our class as Prom Princess. The class picnic in the Shonkin Mountains high- lighted the year. Wyley Good, President and Mr. Jack Lepley, Class Sponsor were elected to lead a very active Junior year. They were assisted by Vice President Jim Olson, Secretary Carol Peterson, and Treasurer June Marie Helland. We be- gan the year by gaining control of the Student Council. June Crane repre- sented our class as Homecoming Queen Candidate. The Junior Play, Men are Like Streetcars , was presented very successfully in the spring. The play was barely over when we began work on our Prom. We used Theme from Picnic as the theme, and Carol Peterson was selected Junior Princess. Well, we finally made it! Gee, it feels good to be Seniors! ! We began our Senior year in the new high school by again electing Wyley Good presi- dent and Mr. Lepley sponsor to lead us during our last year in the new high school. They were aided by Kirby Salisburg, Vice President; June Crane, Secretary; and Loretta Passage, Treasurer. Karen Zanto was Senior Princess for Homecoming. We presented the Senior Play, The People vs. Maxine Lowe , to a capacity crowd. Everyone seems to agree that Sneak Day and Graduation highlighted their four years at F. B. H.
