JEAN EUBANKS wills her sewing talent to Mary Richardson. Mary, have you got that blouse finished yet? PAUL MUNETA wills his Chemical interest in making nitro-glycerin to Leo Quig- ley. Leo needs an excuse to take off . ELAINE PARSONS wills her ability to lure the opposing basketball team to her home to anyone who wants it. Mrs. Parsons is tired of finding sandwiches under the piano. THERESA GIBSON wills her ability to stay sober on Sneak Day to Dean Lucas and Carl Lee. How about that, boys? BERTIE SPOGEN wills her book entitled “Feminine Allure” to Jane Law, although Jane would probably apply it to horses. BETTY PICKARD wills her Latent Characteristic of always being able to arrive late, but not too late to miss anything, to Larry Taylor. Larry always seems to arrive on the scene too early. SHIRLEY SCHULTZ wills her good nature and all else for which she may be un- iversally noted to Isla Welch. Welch’s temper seems to be getting the best of her. GEORGE COWIE wills his innocent look, which is so misleading to instructors, to Horace Massing. Horace never seems to get away with anything. DONALD WALLACE wills his gas tank and other facilities for keeping his car in order to John Poirier. WILMA BEAUCHOT wills her love to stay home on the farm to Marianne Stevens. It seems Marianne’s love is elsewhere. PATTY JO KINGHAM wills her good luck of finding a man to Zelma Smart. We haven’t noticed any success on Zelma’s part. GLEN TAYLOR was going to will his job at the telephone office and his scrub- woman’s knees but decided against it. He needs some sort of income to support his girl. BILL AMDOR wills his height to Tommy Kalberg so Tommy can put on an act without August. JEAN JELLISON wills the shoes she lost one Saturday night to Grace Kohl. Grace has been giving her’s pretty hard usage lately. JOYCE FURGASON wills her efficiency in handling the Senior Class finances, pictures, announcements, gowns and correspondence to the incoming secretary of the Class of 1950. We hope she can do as well. BEULAH POSPISIL wills her genial personality and her ready smile to Roberta FLEMING. We have yet to see Bobby smile. ALICE FARRA wills her knowledge of the farm and mechanics to Doris Sanders. Wc haven’t noticed Doris with dirty hands. HELEN RINE wills her immunity to Wil-Ray’s to Tommy Glennie. Maybe this would cure Pinkie’s eavesdropping. HELEN CAVANAUGH wills her air of importance to Betty Jane Murdoch. Mur- doch has lots of air, but none of importance. VELMA HAWKINS wills her excess tears over the opposite sex to Leslie Sedg- wick, although we can’t see Leslie crying over a mere woman. To the Future Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshman Classes we will the foll- owing list of don’ts: Don’t stay up until one o’clock the night before taking aptitude tests. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages on Class Day. Don’t hang out the lavatory windows when the superintendent is standing in the boiler room door. Don’t have your best friend write your excuse after a wonderful day in the country. Don’t break into the schoolhouse when any teacher is in the vicinity. Don’t try to break the speed record when you have a half day off. Girls, don’t wear jeans to school every day of the year! Don’t use foul means for securing good grades when you are at the bottom of the class. Don’t show your egotism by leaving your signature in the desks and written in the books. Don’t let the ’49ers Sneak Day influence your young and innocent cerebellum. And last, but not least, don’t, we mean DON’T, observe any of the preceding don’ts, if you desire a good time in high school. In conclusion, we hope that all future classes treading down the halls of Harlo High have the enjoyable times we have had. THE COMMITTEE Elaine Parsons, Chairman; Helen Law, Phyllis Bird, Betty Pickard.

Senior Class Will Ladies and Gentlemen: Board of Education: Superintendent: Teachers: Friends: On behalf of the class of 1949, I have called you together upon this solemn occasion to witness our last will and testament, and to receive our final gifts, as duly drawn up and sworn to on this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thous- and nine hundred and forty-nine. We the class of 1949 of the Harlowton High School, city of Harlowton, County of Wheatland, State of Montana, in thirty individual and distinct parts, being of sound mind and strong body, about to pass from this sphere of education, do make and pub- lish as our last will and testament the following, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made: To Mr. R. H. Wylie, our fond superintendent, w'e will a class that does not write its own excuses and a more co-operative student body. To Mr. C. C. Williams, our coach, we will a new warmup jacket and a student body that will stay off the gym floor during basketball season. To Miss Lorraine MacKenzie, our Social Science teacher and beloved sponsor, we will a bigger mallet that will penetrate the skulls of her thick headed students. To Mr. D. T.Weimer, our Science teacher, we leave a loudspeaker system repeating “Break it Up”, so that he can be heard in both halls at the same time. To Miss Edna Cook, our Speech and Physical Education teacher, we leave a speech class with more time and better excuses, and a larger 8th period Physical Education class with fewer ailments. To Mr. Arthur Solberg, our music instructor, we will a band that will come to class every day so he won’t have to decorate the report cards and a chorus that does- n’t try to sing with jaw breakers. To Miss Alma Harris, our English teacher, we will an alarm clock that will ring at 5 minute intervals for her next first period English class. To Mrs. Coralee Poole, our Math, Latin and Art teacher, we will a trip to the Foun- tain of Youth so that the aging effect of her classes may be speedily obliterated. To Miss Dorothy Frame, our Home Economics teacher, we will better weather and a beau with a bigger car, so that he can make it to Harlo more often. To Mr. Orvall Nelson, our Commercial teacher, we will a typing class that is more gentle with the typewriters and a shorthand class that doesn't decide longhand is is shorter in the end. To Gus Callant, our warmest friend, the janitor, we will a Senior class that won’t turn the gym into a barnyard for their annual Sadie Hawkins dance. To Mr. Lammers, our vocational agriculture teacher, we will a remote controlled bus so he can judge livestock with no interruptions. To Mr. James Brockbank and Miss Lorraine MacKenzie, the “Nutt Family’’ direct- ors we will a play cast that won’t burn up the back stage curtains during reheaisals with YOU KNOW WHAT! LA VELLE BRANNIN, who Fuzzy never seems to see enough of, wills her job at Wil-Rays to Margaret Kinder. Lee and Kinder have been seeing too much of each other lately. PHYLLIS BIRD wills her vim, vigor and vitality to Jimmy Fuchs, although Jim could use even more than Phyllis has to offer. FRANCIS MANSEAU wills his love for his little green truck to Tommy Yamamoto. Tommy’s motorcycle is a little breezy. DOROTHY SIVERTSON wills her petite figure to Mary Jane Lunney. We think Mary Jane would look better in her twirling costume. While on the Sivertson family DONALD is a little stingy and won’t will a thing. He says he needs all he’s got. JEAN ANDERSON wills her collection of presents from various beaux to Mary Jo Colby; Mary Jo’s progress with Joe is a little slow. MARY LOU KALBERG AICHER wills her ability to keep house, go to school and hold a job to June Noctor, although June doesn’t seem interested in these incid- entals. , HELEN LAW wills her popularity on the cold winter nights when she has her cai to Rosalie Ortwein. Rosalie needs something to warm her up. JOE KNIGHT wills his resistance toward women to Bill Warner. Warner has had his heart broken so many times. . JAMES SATAKE wills his Senior basketball experience to Dennis Ortwein. No hard feelings, Denny.

Prophecy for the Class of '49 Determined to find out what had happened to the Class of ’49 we set out on horse- back. We left Harlo at 6 a. m. Thursday and arrived in Melville after six hours of traveling. We were hungry by this time so we stopped in the local store where we found none other than LAVELLE BRANNIN (Knight) doing her shopping. She seemed to be having a little trouble with the three young Knights as they liked all the pretty things in the store. After talking to LaVelle we found that she and Jim are very prosperous ranchers in that vicinity. Crawling on our horses after much difficulty we bid fond farewell to LaVelle. We continued on our way and lo and behold who did we see milking cows but ALICE FARRA (Winsky). Alice and August own a dairy ranch and do a thriving business. By this time we were getting a little tired of riding horses so we traded them in on a rocket ship and took off for Rochester. It seemed like we no sooner got started than we landed at the airport there. We left our ship in good hands and went to the clinic to see WILMA BEAUCHOT, a dentist. We asked what happened to her and Roy Bleeker and she said he was still in Montana waiting for her to make a fortune and return to him. Wilma showed us through the clinic and we departed. Our next stop was Detroit, Michigan to see GLEN TAYLOR. I believe you remember him; he was the Brain in the Senior class at th time. Glenn is now the head chemist for General Motors in Detroit. As we entered the door to his office we were much surprised to see HELEN LAW standing there. Helen is now his assistant. We asked her what the deal was as we thought she intended to teach Mathematics. She said she did but suddenly developed a great interest in Chemistry when she found Glen planned to be a chem- ist. We left Glen and Helen busy experimenting and took off for Indiana. We land- ed in THERESA GIBSON’S back yard, nearly surprising her to death. We found her married to Rev. Thaddeus McGookle. She said she had gone to college, received her degree and then got married. We told her all the old town news and moved on. We found DON WALLACE in New Haven, Conn., in the last place we would ever «mag ne looking for him, a rest home. Don said school was just too much for him and he had to take a rest before returning to work. We know this ten years of rest has helped Don considerably. We left him sleeping very peacefully and went to Wash- ington D. C. to see HELEN CAVANAUGH, who is working in the Library of Cong- ress. Helen showed us around as much as she dared and we enjoyed it very much. We hated to leave but had a lot of places left to go so we left Helen in good spirits (ahem, we won’t say what kind of spirits) and took off for Missouri. Landing in Missouri our first stop was the home of Mrs. Jim Tackett. You remem- ber her as the former HELEN RINE. We asked her how come she was living so far from home and she said that Jim got homesick and they decided to move back to his home town. Helen insisted we lunch with her and we then headed for California. Suddenly we remembered that BILL AMDOR was living in Texas so we stopped off to see hm We found him looking over one of his oil wells. Bill is a rich man now but it hasn’t changed him a bit. He has a long string of girl friends, but he tells us he hasn’t made the fatal step—yet. Next stop, California. We landed in Redwood City, California and went right over to BERTIE and Bill Johnson’s. The happy couple are living in a trailer house. Mouse is still there, much to Bertie’s sorrow. If you ever want your picture taken, drop into Bertie and Bill’s Photo Nook. Satisfaction guaranteed. In Sacramento we found SHIRLEY SCHULTZ who is now a comedienne on Bob Hope’s show. We knew that sense of humor of Shirley’s would get her some place. We left Shirley and went to Oregon to see PATTY and Dick. Upon arrival we found them just coming in from a swim as they live near the ocean. They are teaching their four young boys how to swim and PATTY says it is ouite a iob We can understand why with four boys. We stayed with Patty and Dick for a while! but we were anxious to see JOYCE FURGASON so we left for Tacoma. Joyce graduated from Pacific Lutheran in Parkland and she is now an author. Her first book was a real success, followed by many more.
