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

Mary Herries introduces her friend Lucy Weston to the man who will eventually take over her life. 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.
