History If someone were to ask what importance the year 1946 was, many would answer that the war was over and everyone was happy again. This is very true, but this year was also the year that twenty-five children began their education. This event was probably trivial in most of the people's eyes, but it will always be outstanding to Sterling Brown. Wayne Burchett. Gene Derenburger, Dale Fellman, Tommy Graham. Sandy McKenzie, Ken- neth Osborn, Bobby Rath, Morris Royals, Earl Wheeler. Johnny and Sammy Eads. Myrna Jo Bauman, Mary Lou Hageman, Marion Hinther, Sylvia Mack. Jeannie McKerlick, Pauline Ritter. Carol Ronning, Elva Ryan. Mickey Sturtz, Shirley Tobel. Clara Jane Wille, and Sharon Wilson. Some of us felt proud and grown up while others were bashful and afraid, but we were all determined. Mrs. Patterson was there to greet us that morning and soon she had us deeply absorbed by having us tell what we had done during the summer. During that year, we all participated in a rhythm band of which we were all veryproud. Mrs. Schilreff and Mrs. McDonald were our respective second and third grade teachers. These years were spent in graduating us from fictional story books to factual history and science books. Upon entering the fourth grade under supervision of Mrs. Harlow, we were supplied folk and square dancing. Mrs. Griffith ushered us through the fifth grade with the high-light for that year being textile painting. During the next three years, Mrs. Schnebly taught us in which we memorized peoms, made cedar lamps, and completed a portfolio. This ended our elementary schooling. Armed with our eighth grade diplomas, we entered the halls ofG.C.H.S. with many uncertainties, concerning initiation in our heads. Our class had gained and lost until the following remained: Faye Arney. Darlene Beebe. Floyd Campbell, Dorthy Cozzens. Lenice Davis. Margaret Edsall. Ronada Marchant. Alma Price. Carol Ronning, Sylvia Mack. Mary Ady, Ronald Saylor, Helen Spracklin, Nevin Gibson. Ken Kipf, Sterling Brown. Wayne Bur- chett. Dale Fellman. Mary Lou Hageman, Marion Hinther, Jeannie McKerlick, Pauline Ritter, Shirley Tobel. and Clara Jane Wille. We surely felt green as we tried to find our way around and give the required honor and service due to the seniors. (Somehow we lasted the year.) We chose Mr. Lucotch as our sponsor. Our second year, Mrs. Burtner was our sponsor. That year we delved more deeply into the school and money problems. We realized that we had only two more years and we needed money to cover the expenditures of the prom, sneak, and other upperclass activities. We made the most profit by selling Christmas and All Occasion Cards. Rising somewhat in stature, our dwindling class entered into the third year of high school. Mrs. Rich was our advisor and also the director of our play, Lunatics at Large, a hilarious comedy about the curiosities of a mental home. This was a happy year because we were almost overcome with activities. We were well prepared finan- cially and managed to come through the year without any discord. The prom and play received a large amount of our attention during the latter part of the term. We also had bake sales interspersed throughout the year. An exceptionally fine turnout for the Prom gratified us for all our work preparing and decorating the auditorium. The theme was a Garden of Roses. At last on the top, the Seniors felt arrogant as they moved into the final year. Initiation was the first event that required much attention. The theme was a Circus with the Freshmen portraying the various animals. The play followed closely with Mrs. Rich again as the director. This drama, Dear Diary consisted of a series of misunderstandings ending up with a satisfactory solution. No sooner that this was completed than work was un- dertaken for the annual with basketball, tournament, music festivals, sneak, class night, and commencement in- termingled with it. We had a busy year, but that is what it takes for a happy and satisfying education. Jeannie McKerlick GRANT'S Miles City, Montana 20 CARTER SNELL, Sr. Miles City, Montana

Class Prophecy Ten years have passed since the Almighty Seniors of 1958 scrambled through the doors of G.C.H.S. for the last time. This year while I was on my way back to California from Kentucky, where I had just witnessed the ninety-fourth running of the Kentucky Derby, I stopped in Jordan and happened to bump into a few of my old Classmates. The first one I happened to meet was Jack Tobel who told me he was trying to make his first million digging new sewer ditches for Jordan. As we were standing there talking. Glenda Childers swaggered up and told me she had just bought Binion's Ranch and stocked it with sheep. She said Dorthy Cozzens was doing a pretty good job as chief sheepherder. I ran into Jadee Twitchell and Jeannie McKerlick, who are old maid school teach- ers now, and they had just returned from Paris where they had spent their summer va- cation. Bobby Barnes and Wayne Burchett have started a club -- Women-Haters -- they have sworn to stay bachelors. There still might be a change for the spinsters. Lloyd McKinney now owns a big trucking line of his own. His wife Pauline ac- companies him on all of his trips. Margaret Ann Denard, Margie Ryan, and Mary Ady were not around; they are overseas keeping up the servicemen's spirit. Mary Lou Hageman and Marie Weimer are now running a Beauty Salon, but only for women with long hair. While I was at Derby I ran into Pat Mury and Dale Fellman. They had their horse Deadhead entered in the Derby with Sterling Brown as Jockey. Later I met Clara Jane Wille, Shirley Tobel and Marion Hinther on their way back to the hospital. I asked them what their hurry was and they told me that the head nurse Jane McWilliams would really be down their necks if they didn't hurry. And now I better get back to my monkey ranch in California before I meet with disaster. --Leah Montgomery-- « FOSTER JORDAN DRUG Jordan, Montana 21 RIO THEATHRE Jordan, Montana
