LAST ROUND-UP'S HISTORY Eugene Hogue, Lucilio Hofferber. Marian McConnell, Boliby Krcttoll. Dale Scott YEARLINGS AkOUN four years ago a group of tomlorfoet and greenhoms wandered into the corral of Laramie High School' home ranch to got tholr education. Wal I reckon this class started It long ride with Mr. Bruce a it foreman. Under the foreman came Artiio Sure- son a the l s and Dinty Cowper was hi chief. Hugh Heathman was in charge of all the cash, an' Juanita IIar|M‘r kept tally on all roundups. Boh Ames and Mae Clements were student councilors for the group. After yearning for some social life for a couple o months, we threw a masquerade in the gym that was a howling success. Lillie Marie Isirson, Leon New, Leo Nelson, and Betty Callaghan won prize for the best cost mace. On the Imsketlnall range the freshie lights” won the interclass tournament, the cham| s being Arnle Snreson, Jack Vaguer. Jim Atteherry. Clint Butcher, and Dint Cowper. TWO-YEAR OLDS Having entered ns greenhorns, we were fast losing that green hue and were proving to Ik true Plainsmen. The following year found the greenhorn no longer green, but, at last, full fledged Plainsmen. John Am- brose received the foremanship with such Plainsmen a Helen Poindexter. Letty Jane Pellish. Bob Ames. M. J. Boyce, and Mnurine Rogers a his top assistants. Miss Grace Cunningham served a ''range chief.” On tin “footlnall range, we And such sturdy Plains- men as Crout, Sureson. Vagner. Ames, and Glenn nil showing great promise of bigger things to come. Rounded up in tin liasketluill corral to strut their stuff were Butcher, Sureson, Vagner. Rahm. Glenn, Cowper, Scott. Ames, and Crout. Crout strutted his to such an extent that Ik received a letter award for it. Hugh Heathman also received a letter, his was for lending the cheers of the herd. The “two year olds held one big society event De- «•miter 10 in the Ranch gym. It was in the form of a social gatherin' and shindig. Names of sophomores familiar to every honor roll were: Istwreuce. Hitchcock, Sureson. Ambrose, Ed- ward . Finch. Tranas, Maltby. Rogers. Kennedy, and Thompson. Thus, successfully, these Plainsmen finished the year and headed for the green jtastures of vacation range. THREE-YEAR OLDS After three months o' doing nothin', we came back to cow punehin' and a rarln' to do a bigger and better Job than ever. We got a swell start with our foreman. Miss Edna Riddick, and under her Bob (practically IVte Plainsman in person) Ames as general Ikws. Arnold (do your stuff» Sureson as vice-boss. Muryalicc Krnwine to keep track of us Plainsmen on |Mi|M-r, and Paul Dmgprc to look after all our matters concerned with dough. Ib rls So|K r and Engi ne Hogue were aiqtolnted to ms that we didn't miss nothin' around the ranch we orter of known about. We saw to it that we didn’t miss none of any of the Idg doings. Amy (talk 'em down) Law- rence was in there for deitate: Ed Brown. Dale Scott, Joe Glenn. Myron Crout, Arnold Sureson. Arthur Cow- |K r. and Bob Ames to trample 'em down in football; Myron Crout.
