6 Wm This is Space Fort, Froid High School, ofthe future, where space cadets are trained in the hazards of space flying. With Miss Annabelle Stanton as our space engineer, we began building our rocketship with fifteen cadets. They were Randall Hanson, Ronald Hoye, Johnnie Jensen, Lloyd Mogen, Dennis Paulson, Fred Tobiason, Jimmie Westberg, Farrell Wulf, Gladys Gladue, Doris Glaze, Leona Luebke, Mary Jane Pattison, Louise Peterson, Judith Reiter, and Violet Sundvold. The second year Miss Alta M. Oien became our cadet advisor. That same year we finished our rocketship, with the help of six new cadets, who were Garald Boyd, Wilbur Tohiason, Roger Grovom, Romain Ryder, Robert Kvestad, and Gloria Kvestad, and swoosh. We took our first trip from Earth, which was to the Sun. Robert and Gloria didn't make the trip with us for they were transferred to another rocketship. While journeying on to the Moon, Leona M. Miller took over the job as rocket engineer. Along the way we picked up another air cadet, who was Lester Mogen, and we lost Garald Boyd and Randall Hanson who seemed to have missed the ship on the Moon. Traveling on to Mars with Leona Miller and Annabelle Haas was most enjoyable although a funny thing happened. As the rocketship took off, we had sixteen cadets, counting the new passengers--Adeline Hekkel, Joyce Tasa, Robert Purvis, and LeRoy Johnson--but when we landed we had seventeen because Jean Eliason had come upon the ship when we had nearly finished our journey. Jupiter was jumping when Mr. Robert Reuter took over the controls of the rocketship. Three more cadets were added to the crew--Sylvia Knick, Kenneth Eschenbacher, and Arthur Haycraft-- but still we sailed through the air with the greatest of ease. Again with Mr. Robert Reuter as our instructor, we were off like a flash to Venus. Arthur and Kenneth couldn't make this trip, because the atmosphere seemed to have been too heavy for them. However, all of the rest of us enjoyed the trip. Traveling on through space with the help and advising of Mrs. Trudy Wheeler, our next stop was Uranus. Merlin Hunter, joined us and became one of the many cadets in our rocketship. Due to the roughness of the ride caused by the air pockets, several of the cadets were grounded. Many cadets were worried, but excited because this was the proving ground, Neptune, which would determine whether they could continue on with their trip. The space pilot, Oscar Boeshans, issued each of the following cadets with a passport transferring them to the huge rocketship, F.H.S. Among the graduates in the class of 1950 were: Lloyd Mogen, Robert Purvis, Romain Ryder, Wilbur Tohiason, Jimmie Westberg, Farrell Wulf, Doris Glaze, Adeline Hekkel, Leona Luebke, Mary Jane Pattison, Judy Reiter, and Sally Knick. Propelled by the limitless powers of atomic energy, under the steady hand of commander Robert H. Stock, the mighty new space ship rocketed away to Mercury on her four year inter- planetary cruise. After the take-off a beautiful dedication ceremony was held with many notables aboard. From another rocketship came Oliver Urdahl, Naoma Buckendahl, and Harold Grovom, who became members of our planeteers. To be more efficient in our space duties, the following cadets held official p0Siti0ns: Romain, President: Sally. Vice Presidentg and Adeline, Secretary- Treasurer. For the annual festivities of the constellations, Sally Knick was elected Queen candi- date and Harold Grovom King candidate. That year Judy was Song Leader for F.H.A. . which was supervised by Mrs. Lucy Naegeli, and she was a delegate to the F .H.A. convention. The entire crew participated in a choral reading, 'The Bells, directed by Captain Osta Madsen, at

X X ee We, the Senior Class of 1954, being of sound mind and body fto all outward appearancesj hereby testify and witnesseth on this, the last belated moment of our long suffering existence, to be our last will and testimony. May we ask that you recieve these respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given. We, the class of 1954. in the town of Froid, the county of Roosevelt, and the state of Montana being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will Live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed out several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the hall of the school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. And in this manner do we dispose of our possessions: To the Junior Class, our rightful heirs, our most important and valuable properties, our importance and our wisdom, both of which we possess enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present weaknesses. In addition to this, all of our privileges and rights as Seniors in classroom and assemblies, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, unfinished suckers, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while en- gaged in the business of being a Senior. To the Sophomore Class we give our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, We also leave you our patience, it will be found useful as the only means by which you can endure the Juniors. To the Freshmen we leave our sophistication which we have noticed they lack. We also leave them our ability to get things done on time falthough we found no occasion to do this, you mayj, To the young and unsophisticated Freshmen-to-be we leave a little book entitled, How to Tell the Teachers , this is a pamphlet compiled by us after four years of hard study. You students will notice this book is not WHAT to tell the teachers but HOW. It contains information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please and those whom it is impossible to please. To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence and any apple cores, wads of gum, or crumpled notes we may have left about. To our teachers, the faculty of the Froid High School, we hereby give, free from all in- heritance. luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it should be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Also, we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found school life painful indeed and which will do much to make it endurable for them. Last, but not least, we bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. To the future play casts, our varied and surprising talent--a talent that could interpret a character with so much originality that its own author wouldn't know it.
