CLASS HISTORY 'Way back in 1951, twelve frightened little youngsters—Charles Brown, Dennis Cox, Frances Hawkinson, Rosemary Hensleigh, Leila Hinther, Norman Kerr, Bonnie Milroy, Mardrie Olson, Delores Rogge, Samuel Schwindt, James Vollmer, and Neeltje Wille—trudged to school to embark on our twelve years of education. Mrs. Patterson, our teacher, quickly assured us that our twelve years of schooling would be a snap. We soon found out how very wrong she was. Struggling through our eight years of elementary education, we lost and gained classmates until finally, in the fall of 1958, we timidly marched through the doors of GCHS. We were: Jean Barclay, Myron Barnes, Don Billing, Bob Davis, Bob Edwards, Leona Evans, Rex Fullbright, Shirley Haifa, Frances Hawkinson, Dennis Haughian, Lois Hellyer, Rosemary Hensleigh, Leila Hinther, Kathy Kibler, Harold Matovich, Linda Matovich, Mardrie Olson, Charles Pluhar, Phyllis Pluhar, Robert Ritter, David Schlenker, Elaine Scott, Jerry Vollmer, Jim Vollmer, Roger Weaver, Clinton Whitmer, and Neeltje Wille. We soon recovered from our freshman jitters and settled down to our high school life. As frosh, our class started the tradition of wearing beanies, and Mr. Singer was our new first high school sponsor. Mr. Halverson, our sponsor during our sophomore year, urged us to start earn- ing money for all of our future activities. With his help we decided to hold a bake sale that could fill our empty coffers The next year, we felt the satisfaction of being upper classmen, and quickly settled down to a busy year. Mr. Kearns directed our Junior class play, Aaron Slick from Punkin Crick. The year ended with our Junior-Senior Prom, Stairway to the Stars when the tradition of a Junior-Senior Banquet was renewed after a lapse of quite a few years. Mr. Le Brun was selected as our sponsor. At last we were Seniors, and the realization that we had only one short year left came to us. Mr. Kearns again directed our class play which was entitled Lo and Behold. Mr. Perry, the GCHS principal, was our sponsor With studying, basket- ball, music festivals, and other school activities, time flew by and we realized our 12 years of schooling were almost at an end. Our graduating class consisted of: Jean Barclay, Floyd Beecher, Don Billing, Shirley Hafla, Frances Hawkinson, Rose- mary Hensleigh, Leila Hinther, Kathy Kibler, Harold Matovich. Linda Matovich, Mardrie Olson, Charles Pluhar, Phyllis Pluhar, Robert Ritter, Lois Rogge, David Schlenker, Elaine Scott, Jerry Vollmer, Jim Vollmer, Roger Weaver, James White- side, and Neeltje Wille. Only four, of these 22, went all twelve years together. They were: Rosemary Hensleigh, Leila Hinther, Jim Vollmer, and Neeltje Wille. by Rosemary Hensleigh SPONSORED BY LOVE MOTOR COMPANY MILES CITY, MONTANA 19
