To Miss Kurtz we leave all our drawings from the Junior Prom and also our Junior play books. We know she'll never forget our class if she has these things. To the next year’s paper staff we leave our ability to type, and Connie's and Amy's old editorials. To the new school we leave the hope of larger senior classes than ours was. On December 1985 the class of 55 had a reunion at Johnson Hotel in Great Falls. Gyme Scribner wasn't able to attend for he has now taken over his father's farm and was snowed in at the time of the reunion. James Bell is now an expert TV repairman and is married to Donna who is busy taking care of their family of twelve. Earl Duvall has a big Sporting Goods Store in New York and it is a very success- ful business. He flew with his wife and family to attend the reunion. Connie Dammel is a Registered Nurse and has been in Hawaii working for the past four years. Tiny is still waiting for her to marry him. Marian Nierenberg is a famous Disk Jockey on KFBB for Melody Round Up. We all enjoy listening to Shirley and her sing. They are known as the Montana Cousins. Amy Scribner is still working in the Spot Cafe. After working sixteen hours a day she finally became the boss. We all had an enjoyable visit and we were very sorry Gyme Scribner couldn’t be with us at our class of 55 reunion.
