MR. ARLEN J. HUNTSMAN Education is a versatile thing. It has different mean- ings to different people. To Mr. Arlen J. Huntsman, our high school principal, education represents the highest form of human development. Education and the betterment of the mind have become his main ambitions. We students at Fort Benton High School have sincerely appreciated his efforts to better our standard of learning. The Class of 1964 would like to dedicate this page to him. We wish him the best of luck in the future. 2 INDIVIDUALS DOMINATE Enclosed between others, this student appears in a quiet, thoughtful mood. Fort Benton High School is only as dy- namic as its individual students are. The pulse of the student body beats with the pulse of each individual student of F.B.H.S. Even the greatest potential basketball team in the world is nothing without team spirit, but the co-operation of each individual is the real driving force behind its success. And so, even in a school that seems unified in spirit and action, it is the thought and power of the individual that gives the school its dynamic state of being. To some, the complexities of class work be- come a matter for deep thought. Pride in belonging is the real basis of school spirit. Some students enjoy the possibilities presented by individual experimentation. 5 Mr. Goller, the counselor, helps many students solve their problems and uncertainties. Little moments of fun are what give the school its ver- satile atmosphere. To remem- ber even a few of the best mo- ments may become difficult in days to come; if these pictures help to preserve the vibrant personality of our school then they are well worth presenting. Anxious looks appear on the faces of the basketball team during a crucial moment. Most people open their Christmas presents at home, Ron! And what are the mad scientists work- ing on today? Jane Peterson and Carl McCoun are out practicing football or something. 6 Mr. Hutsman never gets suspicious. Attitudes of the students varied from day to day, but one over-ail attitude was al- ways present: the teenage years present a time when life is at its best, so make the most out of them. Humor is always present, and spirits are always high, but underneath this attitude is a quest for knowledge and new ideas. As usual, Coach McKeever is enjoying himself immensely, this time while chaperoning a dance. Betty Hightower and Cheryll Fry are engaged in a typical Chemistry class uproar. The twirlers proudly carry the band banner during the Memorial Day Parade. 7 Mr. Huntsman gleefully checks papers. ACADEMIC EMPHASIS Academic emphasis this year was placed on laboratory periods. A labor- atory period is a class which accom- panies regular classes in which a stu- dent uses his resources to experiment and work on his own. Almost all of the five major departments--Commercial, Science, English, Social Studies, and Vocational Agriculture had a lab period set aside to accompany regular class- room work. The plan behind this system was to encourage the student's interest in experimentation, and to encourage the student's interest in developing his own ideas. Mr. Arlen Huntsman, the high school principal, presented many new ideas on school curriculum, and it was largely due to his efforts that the laboratory system was developed. Fort Benton's school system is on a 6-3-3 basis, meaning that the first six elementary grades are regarded as one unit, as are the next three grades, 7-9. The three high school grades are clas- sified the same way. Mr. Hugh Simmons is superintendent of the Fort Benton school system with his office at the jun- ior high school building, which includes grades 1-9. Mr. Arlen J. Huntsman is the high school principal, with his office at the senior high school building. The high school emphasizes primar- ily the idea of initiative. Students are encouraged to find answers for them- selves instead of asking teachers for the answers. Emphasis is also placed on the broadening of a student's mind. Here three chemistry students, Dan LaBelle, Ray Grande, and Don Kelley, work on a titration during their labor- atory period. All chemistry and math classes are taught by Mr. William Kindzerski. Classes offered which are taught by Mr. Kindzerski are Advanced Math I and II, geometry, chemistry, and physics. Each of these classes has an accompanying laboratory period for supplementary work. Also a part of the science department are the biology and physiology classes taught by Mr. Gene McKeever. Biology is a required course for sophomores, and physiology is an elective offered to juniors and seniors. These classes cover the physiological aspects of sciences, or in other words, explore the world of living things. Stu- dents must depend on their own initia- tive to receive full benefits of instruc- tion. 8 Mr. Gail Stensland, vocational agriculture teacher, here helps two students, Dale Ben- jamin and Ron McFarland with their projects. Vo-ag also depends on student initiative, for students are assigned a project and must com- plete it in a certain amount of time. Wood- working, auto mechanics, carpentry, and the fundamentals of agriculture and its application are the main courses of study. From the students enrolled in vocational agriculture comes the membership of the Future Farmers of America. Practical application is the main goal of the ag department. Fort Benton High School's English, French, and Social studies departments work closely together. Reading re- lated material and interpreting its association with a subject plays an important part in there classes. As shown in the picture, speaking was also required. Mr. Gay la Goller, Mr. Arlen Huntsman, and Mrs. Pat Long were English teachers. Mrs. Long also taught French I. Mr. Alan Goller and Mr. Ray Grande taught American govern- ment and American history. Fundamental knowledge in English and social studies is essential to help a student learn to express himself accurately and intelligently. Mr. John O. Jones is the commercial teacher at Fort Benton High School. His classes in- clude Typing I and II, Shorthand I, business law and consumer economics, bookkeeping. The main objectives of his classes are to give students useful commercial training which can be used in later life as a job skill. Labs accompany the Typing II class, where the student learns how to operate the office machines, such as the dictaphone, calculator, and other adding machines. Many of the stu- dents enrolled in these commercial classes enroll in commercial colleges for more ex- tensive training in their fields of interest. 9 FALL PLAY-KIND LADY BACK ROW, L. to R.; Chuck Bateman, Leona Ayers, Doug Stovall, Judy Erwin, Candy Meredith, Linda Bate- man Randy Thill, Kathleen Tacke, Barbara Beals.

The drunken Peter Santard admires a piece of Mary Herries fine sculptures, while his fiancee Phyllis looks on disgustedly. Kind Lady, a mystery drama, was presented as the fall play on Nov- ember 8 and 9, 1963. The Class of 64 sponsored the play, with Mr. and Mrs. Alan Goller as directors. For their fine work, the Gollers were presented with a wool blanket during the Saturday night performance. This play required more acting than last year's plays because it was a drama instead of a comedy. All partic- ipants put forth a great effort to make this play a success, but at the same time they continued to do their school work as usual. Miss Foster denies receiving a letter which will save Miss Herries. Ada and Henry Abbott relax before pictures are taken for the annual. The crews receive recognition for their behind the scene work.

BOTTOM PHOTO: Many youngsters entered the parade in various costumes. Fort Benton High School's Long- horns knocked the Conrad Cowboys out of the running for the Class B Northern Division football title with a 7-6 victory over Conrad at the 1964 homecoming game. This victory climaxed the parade and the crowning of the 1964 homecoming queen, Linda Leeper. Classes began work on their floats about one week before the game, and much hard work and tis- suepaper was put into their making. These floats were presented in the homecoming parade, where they were judged. Also a part of the parade were the high school band, candidates for homecoming queen, cheerleaders, and the costumed small-fry. Seniors entered the float, Boot 'em out of first, and received a second prize for their efforts. 12 Sophomores worked hard on their float, Your Goose is Cooked, and were rewarded with third prize. COMING During half-time of the game, the homecoming queen was announced, as well as the winners of the float com- petition. Winners were: 1st place: freshman; 2nd place: seniors; and 3rd place: sophomores. The annual variety show was held the night of homecoming. Attendance was high, and many alumnae were seen enjoying the skits and musical numbers. The Acappella Choir sang two numbers, and the Stage Band played a number of selections. After the var- iety show, the B on the hill was lighted by the FFA, providing a sen- timental atmosphere for alumnae, and soon-to-be alumnae, as they attended the homecoming dance. TOP PHOTO: Cheerleaders, Diane Leeper, Sue Nottingham, and Marilyn McDede, formed colorful part of the homecoming parade. BOTTOM PHOTO: Joei Beauregard, another cheerleader was trapped inside a float, during the parade, but got free in time to cheer for the Longhorns. Juniors presented the original idea of a Longhorn Hall of Fame. Freshmen surprised the senior high when they took first place with their unusual float, Where there's a Will There’s a Way. 13 ELECTION OF QUEEN Queen Linda Leeper is crowned by Skeet Good. Linda receives a kiss from one of the senior football players. Others wait in turn for their kiss. Fort Benton High School's candidates for 1964 homecoming queen were: Linda Leeper, senior; Nancy Castor, junior; and Connie Jensen, sophomore. These candidates were nominated by classes, and then the queen was chosen in a gen- eral election by all high school students. The voting was by secret ballot, so the identity of the queen was kept secret. until the last minute when it was announ- ced by student council president Skeet Good. The crowning came at half-time of the tense game between Conrad and Fort Benton. Linda Leeper, senior candidate, was named 1964 homecoming queen. Skeet Good performed the crowning, then Linda was honored with a kiss from each senior on the football team . The Sophomore candidate was Connie Jensen. 14 LINDA LEEPER 1963 HOMECOMING QUEEN Queen Janet Ray and her attendants Sue Hudson, Anna Sue Robertson, Barbara Booth, and crown bearer Colleen Robertson, reigned over the 1964 Junior Prom, A Summer Place, M held May 15.

SPRING PLAY- SUNDAY COST FIVE PESOS” One highlight of the play was when Salome (Barbara Booth) and Celestina (Kathleen Tacke) fought while Tonia (Randy Thill) Fidel (Larry Krum- wiede) and Berta (Judy Erwin) looked on. The spring play this year was a one-act comedy entitled Sun- day Costs Five Pesos, written by Joseph Niggii. The play was presented as the highlight of the spring talent show at a Saturday matinee and an evening perform- ance. Sunday Costs Five Pesos was also taken to the district speech meet in Havre and judged by a drama critic. It rated among the top four one-act plays present- ed there.

I want to Hold Your Hand. Fort Benton High School's first Var- iety Night was held in connection with the one-act play Sunday Costs Five Pesos. Both the variety show and the play were under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Goller. This variety night was under the direction of the junior class, and was regarded as their money- making project. The variety night consisted largely of skits presented by members of Mrs. Goller's speech class. Nikki Stroh was the narrator, and as such, she presented each act in the form of a television show. Commercials written by Candy Meredith for Left-Right Guard, and by Trudy Nottingham for Blufferin, were pre- sented. Between skits, three musical numbers by Cheryll Fry, Ruth Silvius, and Susie Appleby were given. One sur- prise number by Fort Benton’s Beatles, better known as the Crickets, delight- ed the audience. The one-act play con- cluded the Variety Night. This commercial for Left-Right Guard shows what happens when a man uses that product. This commercial was written by Candy Meredith. 19 LONGHORN DAY Hungry students file by the hot dog stands to receive the lunch furnished by the student council. Longhorn Day is a tradition at Fort Benton High School which was started to take the place of class picnics. Longhorn Day is a day of fun that all students and faculty members particip- ate in, thus spreading the idea of school unity and school participation. At noon on May 18, the student council served a lunch on the front lawn while team captains filled in participants on the entries for each of the fun events to be held later in the afternoon. After lunch, clean-up of the school grounds and football field was held. The main events of the afternoon were the games; an ob- stacle race, egg relay, egg-throw, greased pig chase and tug of war provided an air of fun and excitement that prevailed the rest of the day. Points were kept, and the Blue team emerged victorious. In late afternoon, the students climbed on- to the tractor-pulled hay racks and rode out to Green River Bridge for the annual barbecue. Many students went swimming in the muddy Teton River. A softball game ended the bar- becue. One-hundred sixty tired people climbed back on the hay racks for the ride back to town, where a Longhorn Day Dance was held. Thus did the 1964 Longhorn Day end-a group of tired but happy students enjoying one of their last group events together. Not even crutches stopped cheryil Fry from living it up on Longhorn Day. 20 Students wait on the front lawn for their team captains to assign them to the different events of the afternoon. Nancy Castor and Carolyn Holm try to hold the spoon steady as they transfer an egg dur- ing the egg relay. Up and over the wall in the ob- stacle race go several hardwork- ing girls. Down at the bottom of that dog-pile is one greased pig, believe it or not! 21 CLASS NIGHT Joan Overholser reading the will of the class of 1964.

Ray Grande and Clarice Holm both received music camp scholarships. 24 May 4 found the halls of FBHS rather quiet, compared to most of the other regular school days, for the seniors had picked this day not to appear on the scene. Instead, the seniors were happily on their way to the Gates of the Mountains, since their other plans had been washed away. During the course of the day, different students were found doing different things: playing softball, eating, doing flips over a large pile of gravel, eating, hiking up the different mountains, gathering driftwood, just about anything in general, or eating. Ruth Silvius relaxes during an excit- ing game of softball. The seniors seemed quite delighted at the troubles of putting the boat into 25 SENIOR LUNCHEON The Annual Senior Luncheon was held in the Junior High cafeteria on May 28, 1964, to honor the graduating class. Rev. Pauling, of the Lutheran Church, gave the blessing. Mr. Jerry Schreuder, Mrs. Mae Silvius, and Mrs. Gladys Squires presented the program. Coach McKeever, the class sponsor, was pre- sented with a gift of thanks and apprecia- tion from the class by Roger Pugh, class president. Mr. Schreuder entertains the audience at the Senior Luncheon. SENIOR ALL-NIGHT PARTY After Commencement exercises on May 28, the Fort Benton Kiwanis Club hosted its yearly All-Night Party, this year for the Class of 1964. The Night Owls - Mr. and Mrs. Jerry V. Schreuder and Mr. Kenny Morrow - played for the dance which began the party at 11:00. A lunch was also served by the Kiwanians. An American in Paris was this year's show, after which a break- fast was served to the remainder of the group. The Seniors and their dates seem to be eating it up at the All-Night Party. Mr. Schreuder stops for refreshments during the dance. 26 GRADUATION EXERCISES Baccalaureate services for the graduating class of 1964 were held in the Junior High School Auditorium on Sunday evening, May 24. Reverend Warren Smith of the Methodist Church gave the invocation and the benediction. From the Catholic Church, Rt. Rev. Msgr. Regan was the speaker of the evening. The high school chorus, under the direction of Mr. Jerry Schreuder, sang two num- bers, God Bless America and the Hallelujah Chorus, both accompanied by Susie Appleby. Pomp and Circumstance, the processional and recessional, was played by Nancy Castor. Mrs. Junne Johnsrud, Mrs. Donna Tapp, and Mrs. Helen Jacobsen busily arrange flowers for the Commencement exercises. Commencement exercises were held in the Senior High School gymnasium on May 28, 1964, at 8 o'clock p.m. Verdi’s Triumphal March, the processional and recessional, was played by the Fort Benton High School Band, under the direction of Mr. Schreuder. Reverend Robert Walters of St. Paul's Episcopal Church delivered the invocation and the benediction for this year's graduation exercises. For the musical number of the evening, a quartet of four graduating senior girls, Barbara Beals, Nikki Stroh, Linda Leeper, and Cheryll Fry, sang Sing Me To Sleep. Miss Har- riet Miller, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, was introduced as the Commencement speaker; she presented the graduating class with a message. Lillian Kline works desperately to finish the Class of 1964's motto, One Step At a Time, But Always Forward. Commencement reaches its peak as Miss Harriet Miller addresses the graduating class. 27 COMMENCEMENT Pictured with Miss Harriet Miller are the seven Honor Graduates of the Class of 1964. Presenting the Class of 1964 to Mr. H. E. Notting- ham, Chairman of the School Board, was Mr. Hugh Sim- mons, Superintendent of Fort Benton Public Schools. This year, citizens of Fort Benton who attended the graduation exercises on May 28, saw one of the largest classes grad- uate from Fort Benton High School. This year s graduat- ing class of fifty-two boasts seven honor graduates, those being Susan Vielleux Nottingham, Valedictorian; Barbara Arlene Beals, Salutatorian; Margaret Susan Appleby, Ruth Anne Silvius, Mary Frances Jordan, Philippe Eugene Scriver, and Leona Kathleen Ayers.

Jones Annual Staff worked over 620 hours on the 1964 PIONEER, the official Fort Benton High School year- book. Editorships for the 1964 annual were chosen by Mr. Jones from applications made early in the fall. Editors were expected to work at least 25 hours to maintain their editorships. Putting out an annual is more than just devising layouts. It includes selling advertisements, selling advance orders, preparing the basketball programs, ordering the River Press ad, and then the actual work on the annual. Annual staff members who worked 50 hours or more qualified for Annual Staff pins. They are: Ruth Silvius, Barbara Beals, Phil Scriver, Dexter Laubach, Donna Shaw, Susie Appleby, Linda Leeper. Credit also goes to those members who worked hard on their sections of the book: Carolyn Collins, Roger Pugh, Leona Ayers, Bernard Cameron, Richard Nagengast, and Judy Erwin. They worked 25-50 hours each. These people worked 5-15 hours, and helped a great deal in finishing specific sections and devising layouts: Sharalee Smith, Leon Cox, Steve Granger, and Kathy Sullivan. i Ruth Silvius served as editor of the 1964 Pioneer. Judy Erwin and Richard Nagengast proportion pictures, one of the most important parts of preparing a layout. 30 TOP PHOTO, FRONT ROW: Susie Appleby, Donna Knudson, Lillian Kline, Diane Leeper, Joei Beauregard- Vice-President, Ruth Silvius-President, Sue Nottingham-Secretary, Marilyn McDede, Bonita Allison, Marietta LaBarre, Mary Jordan.

BENTONETTES BOOST SCHOOL SPIRIT Service to the school and support of the athletic teams were the primary purposes of the 1963-1964 Bentonettes. Wearing their traditional uniforms, the Bentonettes added a colorful section to all athletic games, and provided the school with a uniformed ushering service. Bentonettes provided ushers for all concerts, games, and plays. Highlights of the year included the annual homecoming initiation of new members and presentation of the outstanding Ben- tonette award. This honorary organization did much to boost school spirit and improve sportsmanship. 31 TWO YEAR MEMBERS, BACK ROW: Tim White, Tom Tope, Don Kelley, Ditto Pope.

Typing II class, with John 0. Jones as sponsor, served as the publishers of the official school newspaper, the Cannon Re- port. For most of the issues, the re- porting typing, and publication was done exclusively by this class of 16 members. Issues were published every three weeks, and copies of each issue were sent to surrounding schools, as well as to the Montana Interscholastic Editorial Asso- ciation. English II classes, under the direction of Mrs. Gayla Goller, edited the Christ- mas and New Year's issues of the Cannon Report. Cannon Report had no designated edi- tors, but the editorship changed hands every issue. While supplementing their regular class work with publishing the Cannon Report, members of Typing II gained valuable experience in journalism. Articles in the school paper varied from serious editorials to light senior interviews. Activities of the Cannon Re- port Staff included selling concessions at a game, instituting the idea of an Ugly Boy contest to raise money for the United Fund, and the presentation of a Montana Centennial Banner to the Student Council. Finances for the Cannon Report came from the Associated Students Fund. Leona Ayers and Ruth Silvius operate the pub- lishing machine, the Gestetner.

Debaters did very well for their first year; they placed in almost every debate they entered. Debate topic for the year was social- ized medicine. Mary Jordan and Joan Overholser received a superior rating at Lewistown. Jim Bush and Phil Scriver placed 5th in the district meet at Havre. Placing 5th entitled these 2 boys to a trip to the state meet held in Missoula. Members of Forensics leave for the meet at Helena. 34 F.F.A.

The Future Farmers of America is an organization of boys enrolled in vocat- ional agriculture. The Fort Benton chapter is perhaps the most active school organization as they are usually working on something every month of the year. Because of their many summer activities, each FFA year starts in April with the election of officers. Participation in the Kulbeck BEEF Field Day, Lighting the B during homecoming, organizing fair booths in Gt. Falls and in the Chouteau County Fair, organizing City Clean-Up Week, and making park benches are only a few of the many projects that the FFA works on. Mr. Stensland talks with Chuck Bateman and Dennis Grossman before the two boys leave for the National FFA Convention in Kansas City, Missouri. 35 Sue Hudson, center, is crowned FFA Sweetheart for 1964, as Donna Knudson and Roxie Kegel look on.

One of many patterns is displayed by the forty-member drill team. GAA Girls' Athletic Associ- ation is an organization which seeks to further athletic activities for high school girls. GAA carries out this theme by con- ducting a weekly meeting, with the girls taking part in sports such as softball, kick-ball, trampoline work, and drilling. The most interest this year was focused on the drill team; this team, com- posed of forty girls, per- formed at home games, at divisional tournament, and in competition with other drill teams at Havre. Lettering requirement in GAA was thirty hours of active participation. Two outstanding GAA members were chosen by popular vote of the members. These a- wards were based on attend- ance, participation, and sportsmanship. BACK ROW: K. Burch, C. Rominger, A. Roudebush, N. Collins, L. Tacke, J. Wyley, C. Jensen, S. Larson, T. Nottingham, C.

Thus the members of the club began their works under the di- rection of Mrs. Gayla Goller. This ser- vice” included many things, among them the cataloguing, mending and covering of books. The reorganization of the card catalogue was the primary task taken up and completed by the Library Club this year. Student librarians mend and classify books. National Library Week was the club’s group effort to make the library and its works known to the community through speeches, the annual poster contest and a coffee hour held in the Senior High School library. Highlights of the year included the addition of many books to the library and the pre- sentation of a library scholarship at the Class Night ceremonies.

SCIENCE CLUB The Science Club is organized expressly for the purpose of promoting interest in all scientific fields. Each meeting is to have a purpose, either informative or tiisiness. Most of this year's meetings had either a movie or a guest speaker. A field trip was planned but because of conflicts it had to be delayed until next year. The highlight of the year was the District Science Fair held at Fort Benton for the second consecutive year. Mr. Wood acted as advisor for the weeks of preparation required to make the fair a success. Concessions were served in the shop for the convenience of all visitors. The Science Fair proved to be a great event. The gymnasium was filled almost constantly with visitors from the entire district. For the Science Fair, the Senior High Gymnasium was transformed into a giant display room for various types of scientific experiments. 41 STUDENT COUNCIL Sandra Smith and Skeet Good work on tabulations of the student activities survey.

The next weekend the Longhorns met defeat at the hands of a tough Malta squad for the first of the two defeats of the season. Closing out the season, the Longhorns had two ties and two wins; one win over a strong Conrad team at our Homecoming. 48 TEAMS WE THEY Gt. Falls Public J. V. 0 39 Gt.

JUNIOR VARSITY Two Big Sandy players grab a rebound during a JV game. Rigorous action was frequent in the JV games. This year's Junior Varsity turned in the best record in the history of F.B.H.S. by winning twenty-one games and only losing one. Seven of these players will be moving up to the varsity next year; this move should help the Longhorns to a more success- ful basketball season next year. GENERAL SPORTS Here is Dennis Grossman in action during the volleyball tournaments. During the year, the students engaged in several sports other than varsity football, basketball, or track. These activities were intramural basketball, for those boys not playing varsity basketball, and the volley- ball tournaments, open to anyone (boy) in high school. The senior intramural All Stars played the varsity basketball team, losing by a score of 109-46. 55 This year Carl McCoun set a new state and national record for the fifty mile marathon. His time was 6 hours and 32 minutes, beating the old record of 6 hours and 57 minutes. Steve Granger displays All-Star ability against the Varsity team.

Fort Benton High School's 76-voiced mixed choir, under the direction of Mr. Jerry Schreuder, proved to be one of the most versatile groups in the music de- partment. The intense interest of the students in this group is shown by the fact the 1 2 of the high school students enrolled are members of the choir. Activities of the year included many concerts and variety programs. Mixed choir performances were given at the variety show, Christmas concert, music festival, and the spring choral concert; the group also performed at the State Teacher’s Convention by special request. The highlight of the choral year came at the spring choral concert, where the choir presented an Old Songs Concert. Members of the group dressed in styles suited to 100 years ago, and entertained the community with a medley of old tunes and sing-alongs that were popular about 100 years ago, a barbershop quartet, soft-shoe dance, and cane dance were highlights of this concert. Let's Sing the Old Songs provided an appropriate close to the school year which marked Montana's territorial centennial. 62 MUSIC ACTIVITIES Chorus members in old-time dress sing Let's Sing the Old Songs. Stage band members play at the home- coming Variety Show. These four boys, Bob Appleby, Gary Arganbright, Ray Grande, and Chuck Bateman formed the boys old-time quartet that sang Let Me Call You Sweetheart for the Old Songs Concert.

The music played was very light and easy. The selections varied from the slow and quiet Body and Soul, to the fast and loud Prom Jump.” Where- ver the group performed, they were received with a fine ovation. The Pep Band, also under the direction of Mr. Schreuder, performed at all the home basketball and football games. The members of this band were chosen by Mr. Schreuder.
