With the reopening of school in the fall, the building will be the Laramie Junior High with Eugene F. Chasey as principal, and the high school will be housed in new quarters on 11th Street with Harold L. Mack as its principal. Although the old building has long been overcrowded and its halls made excitingly treacherous by a succession of low-flying speedballs: the seventh grad- ers, the division of the two schools brings a pang of sadness, as it must when any closely-knit group is separated with fi- nality. Two buildings, will certainly bring about less general confusion; however, they will also contain less of the feeling of vitality which comes from mingling 1210 young people, ranging from twelve to eighteen years of age, supervised by a staff of sixty-two teachers. The main building, or first section of Laramie High School, was completed in 1879 and all grades held classes there. There were 32 in the entire school and 3 in the graduating class that year. Some of the original rooms that are now in use arc the art department, the chem- istry department, the commerce rooms, and the home economics rooms. In 1910 the high school was moved into the newly completed building that is now known as Washington School. There were 122 students attending classes both in the main building and in wooden buildings built where the tennis courts arc now. The first class to graduate from these buildings was the class of 1912, made up of 12 members. In 1926 the original, or 1879 building was remodeled, and it housed the junior high and part of the senior high while the remainder of the senior high still attended classes in the Washington School. The auditorium, the offices, the girls' gym, and the rooms on the north and cast sides of the building were added in 1929. In 1939 the library, both study halls, the boys' gym, the wood shops and the other industrial arts rooms were added. Since then there have been no additions, so the building is essentially the same as it was when these last parts were added in 1939. The 1960 Yearbook is dedicated to this building which has survived the comings and goings of thousands of students over the years while managing to retain a well-preserved appearance.

In view is the D. E. Club float with Connie New as an added attraction. The parade, one of the most attractive the school has presented, was a prelude to the evening's football game and the annual Homecoming dance. n=nnn Dear L.H.S. Diary Aug. 31, 1959—The 1959-60 school year began as we registered in our first period classes for the first time instead of in study hall. Sept. 1—Today was the first full day in which all classes were held. Each grade had separate assemblies in the auditorium to locate seats. Sept. 4—We had our first pep assembly of the year today to pep the football team on to victory. Sept. 9—We wcro interrupted from one of our classes to have the first fire drill of the year. If there had been a real fire, most of us would have burned to death. Sept. 16—Plans for Homecoming, the selection of candidates, and plans for skits had been underway since the be- ginning of the school year. Finally the day arrived for skits and introduction of candidates to the Senior High. Skits were presented in the auditorium and voting was held during fifth period classes. Sept. 17—The long-awaited night of coronation arrived, and after sitting in suspense through the introduction of can- didates, M.C.'s Jim Hall and Frank Scott, announced attendants, Gail Boyd and Til- lie Greaves, and crowned Jeanne Long- pre Queen of the 1959 Homecoming fes- tivities. A snake dance and a bonfire, started by the students, were held after- wards. Sept. 18—Our Homecoming parade, led by the L.H.S. Band, was held this after- noon, with the floats which everyone had worked diligently on, and the candidates following. In the evening we lost our first Homecoming game in many years. Sept. 28—Mrs. Kessler had on a huge diamond today, and everyone was talk- ing about it. Sept. 30—The Junior Class voted on rings today in their English classes and selected ring number three. For this school year, September was a month of firsts; but for the seniors it was a month of lasts , as all months were meant to be. THREE PRETTY MAIDS MAKE HOMECOMING ATTRACTIVE Homecoming traditionally highlights Laramie High's fall season. Much planning, hectic campaigning, and frantic decorating go on for several weeks before the arrival of the big day with its fun-filled activities. The 1959 festivities included choosing attendants Tillie Greaves and Gail Boyd, and queen Jeanne Longpre to reign over the colorful parade, the evening football game, and the dance following. Chauf- feuring the royalty is Mrs. Alma Johnson. Mrs. Willard, guidance counselor, assists Jayne Haagen- sen in figuring out the results of senior tests. Mr. Strange's American Problems class is studying the Humphrey- Kennedy primary election in Wis- In mechanical drawing class, Mike Self is involved in drawing a plate of bolt heads. Students are learning how to draw prod- ucts manufactured by machinery. consin. Oct. 2—The 12th Annual High School Journalism Weekend began today; thirty- four students represented Laramie's yearbook and newspaper. We were all proud of Anne Siren, who won second place in the covcrago contest of Secre- tary of State Gage's speech. Oct. 5—Pep Club initiation was held in the activity room. The pledges dressed in costumes and gave skits. A slight dis- turbance followed. Oct. 7—This was the last day of school for the week because of teachers' con- vention. At the pep assembly the Jun- iors presented a humorous skit showing their impression of the football team. F.B.L.A. held its first meeting of the year. Mr. Allan Walker spoke on Chi- cago. Entertainment was presented by the singing Sixteens. Considering they didn't know the words, it really was en- tertainment! It was announced that Robert Hovick was a National Merit final- ist. Oct. 13—The Seniors had their first drill team practice and at this time plans were made for a wedding shower for Mrs. Kessler. Junior and Sophomore drill teams met later in the week. Oct. 16—At the Pep Assembly poor Darlene still had trouble turning cart- wheels. We defeated Rawlins' football team and spoiled their Homecoming. Oct. 21—Today the Seniors look the first of many tests yet to come. The Silvertones furnished entertainment at the F.T.A. supper. The Future Teachers heard Superintendent Jack Corbett speak on the curriculum and progress of the new high school. To the joy of some, and sorrow of others, report cards came out. Oct. 23—The football team defeated Sheridan and spoiled their Homecoming. The cheerleaders went to Sheridan to cheer the team on to victory. One of the cheerleaders had gorgeous (?) purple hair. Oct. 28—The Seniors took another test today: Ohio tests. They were really very hard, but unfortunately they are required for college admittance. Oct. 30—It snowed today—and as a re- sult our football game with Cheyenne was canceled. Everyone was disappointed at the cancellation, but we were all in high spirits to renew the rivalry. Mr. Mason, in addition to being wrestling coach, is also one of our guidance counsel- ors. Here he helps Jeannie with a planning program. The senior mixed quartet enjoys not only singing but also visiting. A familiar sight to most of us is this scene during a test in the auditorium. Here is Mrs. Isberg's eighth grade art class busily working on personal projects. Nov. 2—We had a pep assembly for the Cheyenne game. More kids from Lara- mie were at the game than there were from Cheyenne. We were all glad be- cause we beat the Indians 26-7. Nov. 6—All six periods were held in the morning. Some of the Senior High Pep girls had lunch at the Chef before the last football game of the season. We defeated Scottsbluff, and it was a real victory as it was the first loss for the Nebraska team in two years. Nov. 9—About thirty Seniors were called out of class after a Senior High assembly and were asked to be Captains for the Diabetes Drive. Nov. 14—The Seniors held their annual Harvest Moon Ball at the Union for Sen- ior High students and their dates. Col- orful leaves and painted tumbleweed made a very colorful setting. Nov. 17—The Diabetes Detection Drive began today. Between the hours of 4 and 7 the Seniors and their team mem- bers distributed dry-packs to practically the whole city. Nov. 19—Ski Club presented a style show at which they exhibited various ski equipment and clothing from Fred Rich- ardson's Ski Shop. Movies on skiing in Aspen were shown. Nov. 26-29 — Thanksgiving vacation. Whoopee! No school! Mr. Cherry has a conference with Karen during American history. CHEER CHEER FOR OLD LARAMIE HIGH (sung to the Notre Dame fight song) Cheer cheer for old Laramie High Wake up the echoes, do it or die Send a volley cheer on high Shake down the thunder from the sky Oh baby. What though the odds be great or small Old Laramie High will win over all While our loyal sons are marching onward to victory. Cheers to Sue A special tribute i� paid to Sue Hitchcock, our wonderful •. and deserving head-cheerleader. Not many people realise the responsibility she has had during this school year of '59-60, but she has carried the load exceedingly well. Her vivacious spirit and cheerleading abil- ity has created much school spirit among the members of the student body. Aside from cheerleading, she is a student council representative and has an active part in all her class activities. She is quite a sports enthusiast. She enjoys ski- ing and skating and has taken part in several ice follies. Her charm and personality penetrate most thoroughly throughout the school and she is admired by all. Partisan Viewers Fill the Stands for the Scottsbluff Game Adding to the excitement of the leremie-won contest, the exuberant cheerleaders keep up a steady barrage of yells, and A. O. Wheeler's colorful band plays peppy tunes with a foot-stomping beat. The refreshment line forms at the right. Scottsbluff Finds the Plainsmen Ready, Willing and Unbeatable led by all-state quarterback Allen Frude, the little Men from Laramie keep the Nebraska players on the defensive. Everywhere they look, a maroon jersoy is ready to pounce. The last home game on the Plainsman field was a hard-fought team victory, 20-12, ending Scottsbluff's 21-game winning streak and presenting John Deti with one of the greatest victories since he became head football coach. Touchdown We want a touchdown oh can't you see we want a touchdown Oh can't you see we want a great big bruiser husky and tall to carry the ball in no time at all We want a touchdown and when it's over let us hear you make some noise . . . l-A-R-A-M-l-E We want a touchdown boys! We want a touchdown oh can't you see we want a touchdown O can't you see we want a great big bruiser husky and tall to carry the ball in no time at all We want a touchdown and when it's over let us hear you make some noise . . . V-l-C-T-O-R-Y We want a touchdown boys! Laramie rooters brave a windy, miserable day in Cheyenne to watch their IMS football team in action. Because of the split- session classes in the capitol city, there were more in the Laramie cheering section than in Cheyenne's. Laramie stu- dents were grateful when their hosts gave them their choice seats and took the less pleasant visitor's section. 9 There is nothing that a bevy of beautiful girls likes to watch more than a bunch of husky he-men; Lynn Beltz, Alice Marriner, Charlene Lutz, Fran Wenger, Tillie Greaves, Karen McNinch, Sharon Morgan, and Billie Jean Lockhart are no exception. There is nothing a bunch of husky he-men like bet- ter to do than to perform for a bevy of beautiful girls, whether it be in . . . BASKETBALL FOOTBALL OR WRESTLING Plainsman Band Does a Fine Job Director Wheeler says, I feel I have a most cooperative and loyal bunch of youngsters who have been doing and arc doing so much for the spirit and life in L.H.S. They are ones who make the thrilling game, not just another scrimmage; they're the inspiration of the team and spectators alike. I salute you, band, twirlers, color guards, bandsmen, cheer- leaders and pep clubs—You're the ones that make the game! The Plainsman Band, under the direc- tion of A. O. Wheeler, has a membership this year of 65. The band and various small ensembles and soloists participate in 50 to 75 public appearances during a year, such as IHS homecoming parade. University of Wyoming High School Band Day exercises and game. Ft. Collins Rodeo Days' parade. Jubilee Days' parade, Cheyenne Frontier Days parade. Veter- ans' Day parade; plus 20-25 pep rallies; 4 or 5 home football games; 10 to 12 basketball games; concerts for American Education Week, Teachers Convention, political rallies, P.T.A. meetings; district and state music festivals; baccalaureate and commencement, for lodges, service clubs: lions, Kiwanis, and Rotary; Vet- erans' hospital at Cheyenne. The band usually takes one to threo trips a year, maybe to an out-of-town football and or basketball game, or rodeo. Band members earn awards in Senior High Band by their participation in all of the band's activities throughout the year and in the summer. First-year mem- bers (9th grade) receive a silver pin; 2nd year (10th grade)—a gold pin; 3rd year (juniors) receive a chenille music lyre let- ter award for their white sweater with three maroon service stripes; 4th year (senior) members receive the music honor key plus the honor of exposing their 4th maroon service stripe on their whito band sweater. The requirements for Senior High Band arc that players aro admitted to mem- bership when they have exhibited cer- tain performance techniques upon their instrument, when they are capable and proficient enough to play most of the music used at this band level, and or in order to maintain a more or less stand- ard of balance of instruments in the usual band instrumentation. Members assume this responsibility which goes with their membership: per- forming in street parades, playing all- school pep rallies, at athletic home games, the usual concerts, music festivals, bacca- laureate and commencement, plus any other varied civic, club, or community events, in which the band is asked to participate. All this requires a great deal of preparation, time, and full coopera- tion of and among the band members who must, at times, sacrifice some other proj- ect of their own, for the success and good morale of the band as a whole. Here we sec Nancy, Val, Linda, Mike, Sandy, John, Jim and Bill gathered around the traditional Christmas tree that is decorated each year and placed in the 1st floor lobby. King Al and Queen Shelby are reigning over their Classmen at the Jr. Color Day Dance. A require- ment for getting into the dance was the wearing of the Jr. colors: blue and white. Carnival booths were in operation, and contests were organized. Much fun! Dec. 3—The German classes held their annual Christmas banquet. The students came dressed in German costumes. A tree was decorated with popcorn, cran- berries, and cookies, and Father Christ- mas distributed goodies to the students. Entertainment was furnished by mem- bers of the class, and games and dancing were held afterward. Dec. 4—The cheerleaders wore their new short skirts for the pep assembly and their knees were the talk of the school. Dec. 8—Mr. Jensen spoke to the Senior High Pep Club and told the members it was their responsibility to the school to promote school spirit, and that they should feel honored to be members. Dec. 12-13—The team journeyed to Rawlins for the dedication of the new gym and played both Evanston and Raw- lins. The Band chartered two buses to attend the dedication and the majorettes twirled at the half. Dec. 14—The Junior Class presented their play, Turn Back the Clock, in the auditorium. Everyone was reminded of the trials and tribulations that they have in their own homes. Dec. 17—The band, orchestra, and chor- al groups presented the annual Christ- mas program. It was announced that Teddi Ann Jones had won the D.A.R. award for the outstanding Senior girl. Dec. 18—Christmas vacation began at noon. Our basketball team played Green River in the University Fieldhouse as a preliminary game to the University game. Dec. 19—We played Cheyenne in an- other preliminary game in the Fieldhouse. The Seniors proved again that they were the best by drilling almost faultlessly, be- fore a huge, but fairly silent crowd. The band played for both preliminary and University games. 13 SENIOR HONOR STUDENTS (Figures indicate number of appearances on first four six-weeks' honor rolls) Janice Ackerson Jeannie Bindschadlcr Carolyn Brown Joan Brown Mary Cartwright Susan Comin Carolyn Conyers Fred Conyers Jean Cuthbertson Jim Craven Larry Cheesbrough Jens Dahl Jody Davis Sandra Jo Dawson Mike Devaney Bill Dolling Glenn Duncan Perri Gaer Billie Jean Hickey Robert Hovick Hazel Jo Kinnison Joanna Lanum Tom Lanum Doug Lind Roth Ann long Jeanne longpre Alke Marriner Donald Miller Tom Moore Sharon Morgan Walter Morgcnstern Bill Neal Jim Nicholls Orman Paananen Iris Paul-Wilcox Sarah Payne Dale Pierantoni Verba Ray Sharon Ross Anne Siren Janyce Thomas Katherine Tichac David Wcnsky Mary Whitcomb Ed Winchcll Alvin Young Robert Hovick was named as a finalist in this year's competition of the National Merit Scholarship program.

Jan. 14—The annual Thespian banquet was held at the Diamond Horseshoe, where new members were formally ini- tiated. Don Miller did an excellent job as M.C. The Sixteens furnished enter- tainment in a reverse of the old saying, Be seen and not heard. The sextet sang in a cubby-hole where they could be heard, but not seen. Jan. 15—All the fans from Laramie, es- pecially those who had come to Chey- enne on the bus chartered by the Junior Class, couldn't provide enough spirit to cheer our team on to victory, and, as a result Cheyenne renewed the old rivalry by defeating us. Jan. 16—The Seniors chartered a bus to Ft. Collins for the wrestling match there. Wo were surprised to find that the Lara- mie kids could make just as much noise as the Ft. Collins rooters did. Jan. 22—The first semester ended. After having tests all week, it was certainly a relief! Jan. 23—The Elks' small ballroom was the scene for Fantasy in Ice, the theme for the Senior Sno-Ball. Billie Jean Lock- hart and Dave Wensky were crowned king and queen of the dance and reigned over the fifty couples who attended. Jan. 25—Certain Senior boys exhibited their excellent taste in clothes at the Senior skating party tonight. Most of the kids really had a good time, even though some of them spent more time sitting on the ice than skating on it. Jan. 27—Report cards came out today, showing the results of our first semester's work. Jan. 28—Another first was held to- night. The faculty from Laramie High School played the faculty from Casper High School and they seemed about as good (?) as our own team. They lost. Jan. 30— Each of the three upper grades helped with the March of Dimes Drive. The Sophomores and Juniors helped distribute literature to homes. The Seniors sponsored a Buy a Litter Bag Drive, to Help Clean up for the March of Dimes. They collected $55.39 in four hours. The French classes held their an- nual banquet tonight. The students dressed in costumes and ate and ate and ate and ate. Pntertainment, in a French style, was presented. 16 This English II class is doing group work in locating, identifying, and interpretation of words and information. Varied Educational Opportunities Offered Students Basic courses in a wide variety of in- terest areas are open to the students They arc offered instruction in the fun damental courses of English, mathematics history, science, languages (French, Ger man, Spanish), in addition to commerce speech, art, shop, physical education driver's training, general business cours es, distributive education, mechanical and architectural drawing, agriculture, home economics, music (band, orchestra, vocal), and journalism. Each student chooses his own track program to identify his general goal and to give him the necessary background for his chosen life's work. Mr. Stephenson, driver's training, seems to say, Do you see that nice steep hill over there? Well, you're going to be going up it in just a few minutes. If you keep calm, you'll have nothing to worry about. Finding the idea intensely amusing, Shelby Ames sits in Journalism class and thinks about writing a sports story covering a game she's never seen. ht: The unsung heroes of our build i's appearance are our custodians who up after us daily and are still al- ys ready and willing for a friendly iversation.

(Rea- son being—February 29: leap year.) 17 Sharon, Joan, Carolyn, and Kim lead the Saturday morning workshop Inside Mr. Corbett's cabin council members enjoy the warmth once again at the Christmas tree party. The Ways and Means Committee introduces a new idea into Laramie High. 18 Student G A Firm Foot Wider viewpoint, determined lead- ership, and the betterment of Lara- mie High School. This maxim spurred the Student Council through a rigor- ous and eventful year. It opened the door to possibilities unlimited and pointed the way to success. The Student Council, capable, full of initiative, and demonstrative of their work, began the year determined to make their goals and reach them. The road to these goals has been a difficult one but it has been reward- ing. Setting out to work for a better school, the Council unanimously vot- ed for additional representation,— a wider viewpoint . The Interclub Council was born and the shape of things to come materialized. Being broader in talent and number, the Council felt confident to undertake the job of reaching the goals it had set: to strengthen relations between stu- dents, teachers, and the administra- tion; to raise the standards of the school; and to encourage student par- ticipation. The goals were there and so was determined leadership. Throughout the year, the Council has endeavored to solve the problems existing in Laramie High School, in- troduce new ideas, and raise the qual- ity of student activities. Since it has served as a headquarters for student opinion and organization, the year has been richly filled with beneficial projects. A benefit dance produced splendid results, and the joint effort of all the students bought new uniforms for the cheerleaders. In order to aid new students in Laramie High School, an orientation program was set up. This provided for a floor plan in the stu- dent handbook, the guidance assist- ance of the Senior class, and a wel- coming committee from the Student Council. And neither is Laramie High School without music. It is now the proud owner of a Hi-Fi record player. This was used at many of the after-game Fred Conyers President Tom Moore Vice-President Teddi Ann Jones Secretary «I Gains Id in LHS dances and Has proven valuable in the classroom, too. These and many more projects dominated an attempt toward better- ment of Laramie High School. With this helpful maxim to follow, and the wise guidance of a sincere sponsor, Mr. Chasey, the Student Council gradually worked its way to the position it should rightfully have in the school. Into its hands have been given the responsibilities of many student activities and other phases of school government. It has worked diligently to place every school-sponsored organization on a high level of quality and to make a foundation suitable for the new Sen- ior High School. New plans, new traditions, new ways of doing things summarize the chief objective of the Student Coun- cil. A new constitution, incorporat- ing this objective in its articles, has been drawn up to meet the needs of Laramie High School. In it are the ideals and concepts of a real school democracy. During the course of the year, the Student Council has learned through experience that student initiative and drive can be very beneficial to the whole school. Several committees have been initiated into the school or- ganization that have proven the ma- turity and conscientiousness of stu- dents involved in the high-school par- ticipation program. The Citizenship Committee has tackled the important task of promot- Hey, we're cutting Christmas trees, not posing for pictures. ing high school citizenship. Through this committee, the C. B. Jenkins Award Constitution was revised to operate more smoothly and raise the beneficial level of the projects. The entire school, under the leadership of this committee, can proudly boast of an important role played in the Dia- betes Detection Survey. Many other projects, such as the United Fund, March of Dimes, and various class projects, are the fruits of citizenship promotion in Laramie High School. Striving for one of the more im- portant objectives of the Student Council, a Public Relations Committee was formed. This committee promotes better relations between teachers, stu- dents, and the administration. It has successfully held many workshops to improve these relations through co- operative agreement. The honor pass, a special project, was introduced to aid also in better relations. Because the need of good leader- ship is becoming foremost in im- portance, the Election Committee has worked extra hard to devise election procedures best suited for Laramie High School. From their diligence, the students of the school can be assured of the leaders they want and know will do the best job. The school can attribute much of the planning for assemblies to the Assembly Committee. Under the guidance of this committee, whole- some and entertaining programs have been seen in Laramie High School. The National Assembly programs, or- Our officers, Tom, Teddi Ann, Fred, and Keith listen to Wes bring up a new point from his class STUDENT COUNCIL STI TRADITIONS, AND ganization-sponsored programs. Stu- dent Council Installation, and other programs are products in part of its work. The exploration of ideas introduced into Student Council and recommen- dations concerning these ideas has largely been the duty of the Ways and Means Committee. Several dif- ficult problems have found solution through its efforts. Background re- search necessary for many programs of the Student Council has been done through this committee as well. A long-needed service to the school was publicity. The Publicity Commit- tee has provided for publicity of Stu- dent Council and its projects. The Council members and inter-club council members join together in discussing problems in Laramie High.

It has been responsible for colorful posters, informative an- nouncements, and the beneficial pub- licity of Laramie High School. Without exception, these commit- tees and others have worked to make the Student Council a desirable and successful part of Laramie High School. Through the co-operation of the entire student body, the faculty, and the ad- ministration, it is a growing concern. It has indeed strived hard to reach the goals set in 1959. It has set an even higher goal, however, to continue its work until Laramie High School can be ranked among the best. Three class representatives, Ray, Mary, and Gary lend a listening ear. Larry reads a class recommendations to the council while others listen Chets Club was organized at «he firs� of school and meets every two weeks on Tuesday evening in the activity room.

March 12—Our wrestling took first place at District Tournament in Wheatland and eight of our grapplers qualified for State. Science Club chartered a bus to Casper for the State Science Fair, and Susie Knudscn and Jens Dahl took first place honors so they qualify for regional Science Fair to be held in Colorado. March 16-19 — State Basketball and Wrestling Tournaments were held here. Everyone had a good time because we got out of school for spring vacation. Laramie took second place in the State Wrestling Tournament; Ron Mogenscn and AI Frude won the title of State Champion in their respective weights, Frank Scott won second place, and Terry Rininger and Rick Lucas won third place. Rick Lucas received a trophy for having the fastest pin in the Tournament (1:15). March 23—It was announced that Babs Kruse and Akscl Peterson had won sec- ond and third in the local Water Conser- vation Essay Contest. We also discovered that Ruth Ann long is a whiz at short- hand. On the little chart, kept in the commerce rooms, Ruth Ann, not only passed everyone else, but she has also passed the end of the chart! March 24 and 25—State F.F.A. Conven- tion in Thermopolis. Larry Lawton won a scholarship for $200 from the Union Pacific. March 27—Laramie High and Prep had a radio program. The first of its kind. March 31—The Junior Class had a color day and wore their class colors all day. Ken Boilsen sported blue shoes to match his car.

May 22—Baccalaureate for the Seniors. Reverend McConnell gave the sermon. May 26—The Class of '60 graduated and left only five classes in the school build- ing. June 3—Another school year has passed. It has been a year of lasts for the Sen- iors, but one they will never forget, and a memorable one for the rest of the classes. Many students brought honor and recognition to the school, and the Seniors will never be able to think of it as a Junior High in the coming years as we were the last class to go to Laramie High for six years. The court of the LHS building shows part of the old building and the autographing techniques of several generations of seniors. 23 In order to get waited on first in the Washington School lunchroom, Jim Cra- ven and Ken Foreman decide to leave the shop room a little early and by a differ- ent exit.

Wheeler Rates a Salute from the L-H-s-Band «embers Student Body of Laramie High School Wifh the conclusion of the I960 school year, A. O. Wheeler will devote his time and energy to the junior high and grade school bands and will no longer direct the IHS band. In his 30 years as a school music di- rector, Mr. Wheeler has taught school bands in Wyoming for 25 years, with the past 18 years being devoted to directing the instrumental music of the Laramie City Schools and being bandmaster of the Plainsman band. He received his education at Nebraska State Teachers College and the UW, and had professional performing experience with a theater orchestra and a civic sym- phony orchestra as a trumpeter and on the French-horn, as well as with piano in dance orchestras. He directed several municipal bands, including the Laramie Municipal Band for several summers. He is the past state president of Wyoming Music Educator's Association and is the bandmaster of Korein Temple Shrine Band. His first band in a small Nebraska town was asked to parade for a summer festival. The 17 members marched down the street playing Abide With Me, which was all they could learn in three weeks. Later they went on to win dis- trict championships. Since being in Laramie he has been honored by receiving The First Chair of America plaque, voted to him by fellow directors for outstanding achieve- ment in the field of music. With this award, comes the annual right to have his organizations represented in the year- book of the First Chair of America. His colleagues have also voted him to mem- bership in the American School Band Di- rectors Association. Mr. Wheeler is also proud of the local honor of having his Plainsman Band last year presented the Optimist Award by the local Optimist Club as a testimonial of their appreciation to the band for their service and contributions to the com- munity, and for the yearly banquet given by them for the band. The Plainsman Band under his direction, when our district was set up with bands participating in the music festivals, from 1946 through 1953, won a Div. I, Su- perior rating every year except in 1948, when it won a One plus, and in 1949 when it won the highest band rating giv- en that year, a Two plus. Now in our district, only solos and small ensembles participate in the music festival, except the small bands of smaller schools. His hobbies include carpentry, fishing and hunting at his summer cabin in the nearby mountains. Of his retirement from the Plainsman Band he says, I am looking forward to working only with junior high bands and grade school youngsters next year, al- though I am quite sure I will miss my senior high band activities which have been a part of me for thirty years. The high school will miss him too. His efforts have been very much appreciated and the students say, Thanks. aa i . I T � ' k S OVll NOUS ,y im A IHTACHtD MANNlR Laud Retiring Arch' The smell of stale smoke drifted back through the bus and every person on the bus realized that Arch had lighted an- other huge, black cigar, his trademark on band trips: a trademark typical of the man himself. Mr. A. O. Wheeler was, himself, a large man with jet black hair. He often pro- duced a tremendous amount of smoke without really very much fire. Like a good cigar, however, he lasted a long time; and the longer he lasted the better he got. When at last he was gone he left a pleasant aftertaste; and his stu- dents could truthfully say, He was won- derful. I hate to see him leave. Arch was an unforgettable character. No one could possibly forget the man whose bands never had a good rehearsal and never had a poor performance. It was a rare occasion when a rehearsal pleased Mr. Wheeler, since nothing ever went well. When a public appearance came, however, the band always did a terrific job. The reason was simple. It was because of Arch. If A. O. Wheeler turned out good bands, he turned out superb small groups and ensembles. He always had the best quartettes, sextets and baton teams at any music festival. Arch was personality unforgettable. Which of his students can ever forget his pride when the band did well? Who can forget his trumpet playing, his little signs printed on the blackboard, his vigorous conducting, his happy smile, his disap- pointed frown, his arguments about whether or not rock-and-roll could be called music, his joy when he became a grandfather, his interest in the members of the band, his faithful attendance at every game and pep rally, his . . . but the list could go on forever. It has no limit. It is hard for many of us, who have played in the band to think of Arch leaving the band. The words, Under the direction of A. O. Wheeler, seem in- separable from the name Laramie High School Band. Arch was proud of the band, and in many of us he instilled this pride. We were proud of the band and proud of the wonderful director. We would like to say more about him, but all we would mean can best be said by Thank you.

Right: Class sponsors, Mrs. Blacker and Mr. Gruber, advise the senior officers during one of the noon meetings. The work of the Senior Cists officers began in the summer when they outlined the coming year's activities. They started the year off with a general class meeting. It wasn't long before committees were being formed and chairmen being olectcd and appointed. The officers were happy, for the class cooperated to the fullest extent, making a great improvement in class meetings and functions. The year advanced so rapidly that the forma Is, parties, and sales soon disappeared in the background. Now began the plans for Baccalaur- eate, Commencement, and the all-night party, the last time all of us would be together as the class of 1960. Our senior sponsors, Mrs. Blacker and Mr. Gruber, worked with us the entire year. The contribution of their time and effort to work with us proved invalu- able. Our special thanks go to Mrs. Blacker for the extra time she so willingly gave us every Thursday noon for the officer meetings. With her guidance the officers were able to preside over the class with better efficiency. Susan Ann West Senior President Roberta Maxine Mast Treasurer William T.

They collected a large stock of magazines by Christmas. Then the Seniors of LHS and UHS, work- ing as captains, supervised the distribu- tion of detection kits from the Diabetic Drive. Then for an additional citizenship, we loaned our services to the Sertoma Club by volunteering to pick up toys for their Christmas Toy Program. After these toys were repaired, repainted and sorted, they were given to underprivileged chil- dren for Christmas. We also collected toys and canned goods on our own during the Christmas season. Next on the schedule was a bake sale. What happened? There was a grand total of about 30 cookies. Consequently, they were eaten by the committee instead of being sold. Our next community service was the selling of litter bags for the March of Dimes . This became a major project as so many seniors helped. We were all proud for the money we helped to con- tribute for this worthy cause. M. Lynn Beltz Judith Darlene Blount Wanda Brasher Linda Sally Borrego Seniors Star in Stars of Tomorrow Miss Connie New, a very talented mem- ber of the senior class represented us well in the annual Stars of Tomorrow show by presenting an acrobatic act. She placed as the high school runner-up and will represent Laramie in the di- visional Stars of Tomorrow show in Greeley, Colorado. Other seniors par- ticipating were Kathleen Houghton, who did a baton solo, and Teddi Ann Jones, who sang In the Garden and It's Almost Tomorrow as a duet along with Dee Ashment. Also not competing, was Allen Davenport's band, consisting of Allen on the clarinet and saxophone; Robert Slater, trombone; Dean Johnson, drums; and Don Miller, piano. They played Harlem Nocturne and Night Train by Earl Hagen. Left: We send Perri Gaer and Fred Conyers out into the world as the ones most likely to suc- ceed.

On TV their favorite programs included Dobie Gillis, Maverick, Mr. lucky, Dick Clark, Betty Hutton, and Johnny Ringo, along with Huckleberry Hound. Hair styles for the girls were French rolls and intricate knots while the boys' hair seems to be getting longer and shaggier. Larry Cheesbrough Robert C. Collins Susan Jane Conrtin William B.

The latest styles are shorter skirts with sweaters for the girls, and ivy league pants and neat sweaters for the boys. The newest slang expressions on everyone's tongue were all that jazz, cool, neat, crazy and way out. Pizza seemed to be the favorite food of all the students.

Spotlights showed off the gaily colored leaves, and scattered around the dance floor were bright, glittered tumble weeds. Chairmen, Tillie Greaves and Chuck Pelton, were congratulated for the wonderful job they did. This formal dance was most unique in style and design. Perri Gaer Geraldine B. Garcia Kent L.

Under a filmy blue ceiling of glittering stars and por- cupine balls, Billie Jean Lockhart and Dave Wensky were crowned queen and king of this gala affair. All had a wonderful time, but when the dance was nearly over, as the decorations were being taken as souvenirs, some won- dered if the blue filmy ceiling could stand the strain. Jeannie Bindschadler, the chairman, did a superb job in supervising this senior formal. On February 29, we took an Hawaiian Cruise . Our Senior- Junior Banquet was held at Knight Hall. The tables were set lav- ishly with bright red and gold decorations. Our menu contained Tropical Dream, Game of the Jungle. White Caps, Diced Bam- boo in Coconut Cup, Lilikoe and Papa, Taro Cake, Beach Pebbles in Clam Shell, and Coconut Milk. After eating, everyone enjoyed the speeches and music contribut- ed by the members of both classes. Juniors, Seniors, and special guests complimented the chairmen. Dale Pierantoni and Bill Wagner, and Jim Hall, MC, for the best banquet they had ever attended. THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER CAST Sheridan Whiteside .......................................

Miss Cutler, swirled the town into an uncontrollable turmoil. Each member of the cast created much laughter and confusion. It was a performance no one will forget. Directed by Mr. Richard Grover Everyone who came to the skating party had one of the best times in his Senior year. We brought some musical instru- ments and sang all of our favorite songs. Some came in bermuda shorts, wrestling tights, bathrobes, and enormous straw hats. While some had pow-wows on the ice, the boys versed the girls in crack the whip and you go one way and we run into you the other way. We shall never forget the fun-time we had or all the bruises and stiffness the next day. 41 Betty Lou Jones Teddi Ann Jones Senior Girls Cited for High Awards Larry Kafka Jerome Thornes Joyce David Hisey Kellogg The D.A.R. citizenship award is given to the outstanding senior girl.

AMIE KIWAM k’ARS ol TOMod Allen Davenport's band has been one of the greatest assets of the Class of '60. He began his career when we asked him to play at our annual sophomore dance. It was a night to remember. Besides being his debut, all the pink and white streamers were on the floor when we got there. That was merely the beginning for the band. Soon they were playing for school functions, clubs, banquets, and talent shows. All those in his band have a great talent and appreciation for music. 47 Row 1: John Cotlon, Tom Moore. Fred Conyers.

Some- times members are doubled up in a month in respect to attend- ing these luncheons in order to give each one a chance to attend before the ending of the school term. As a climax to this pro- gram, one of these boys is se- lected to receive a $250 scholar- ship at commencement to the University of Wyoming. Girls State Jenyce Thomas, Anne Siren, Jcannie Bindschadler, Teddi Ann Jones, Susan West, Kay Tichac, and Diane Long ex- perienced the practical application of Americanism and good citizenship at Girls State. The entire program has the goal of teaching the youth of America the love of God and Country. Here the high school girl learns how to be a self- governing citizen and to be informed about her duties, privileges, rights, and responsibilities. The girls were selected on leadership, character, courage, honesty, scholarship, cooperativeness, and physical fitness. The final approval was made by the local American Legion Auxiliary Unit after the Annual Girls State Tea. Highlights of Girls State were too num- erous to cover justly, although the major significance was a group of girls all Teaming together and creating great friendships. From the first exchange of campaign material to the results of the final elec- tion, the girls experienced one of the � greatest moments in their lives in their mythical state of Wyoming. Boy Staters GIRLS STATE TEA The best way you can describe Boys State is that it was a real brawl. One day Jens Dahl, Tom Moore, Alvin Young, Bill Dolling, Robert Hovick, and Mike De- vaney were called to the office for skipping (they thought), but instead they were to receive one of the best experi- ences in their life. Nowhere else could you get the privilege of meeting boys from all over the state, learn about state government, live the life of Riley, and last but not least, meet the GiH Staters. When they got to Douglas, they sur- veyed the place. Soon they were di- vided into the Legislature, Senate, and Court System. For the next week they lived a life of self-government. Boys were put into state offices with drums pounding, bugles blowing, and general confusion and happiness. One day the boys were told that they would have a day of rest at the Glendo Dam opening. Having not seen any girls for three days and having been cooped up in a bus, they fairly well opened the Dam. After learning what they were to do in the Senate, they went to Cheyenne to debate in the Capitol. The rough debat- ing came, of course, after they had din- ner and had a social gathering with the Girl Staters. All in all it was one of the best weeks in the lives of these Laramie High boys.

The Finale Elizabeth Valdez Mary Louise Walker Gary G. Wamhoff Frances Rhynette Wenger David A. Wensky Friends of everyone are most consid- erate—Don Miller and Dixie Chesnut. In October, we bid goodbye to our English teacher, Mrs. Roberta Kessler. All of the senior girls planned a surprise kitchen shower for her. We didn't like to see her leave us, but we knew that she was going to be most happy. She received all the necessities for her new kitchen and some other beautiful gifts for her home. At this shower she was presented with an ornate bracelet and earring set from the Future Teachers. Mrs. Kessler was most pleased, for this set would match her dress for her wed- ding. Seniors Soy Farewell The day to which we have looked for- ward to eagerly hat come at latt. On thit day of graduation we will patt once more through the doort of Laramie High School; thit time never to return, never again to be a part of the crowdt who throng the hallt. We are leaving thit part of our livet behind and going forward to a future at yet unknown; and at the doort clote behind ut for the latt time, we look back with a deep tadnett in our heartt, and for a moment the familiar roomt and corridor! and the friendt who have become to dear call out to ut and we would like to turn, to go back and live over the wonderful dayt of our high school years. Of course we cannot do thit, but neither can our memories be taken from ut. How many times in the years ahead will we look back with gladness at well at nostalgia on the garnet, and assem- blies, the dances and banquets, the teach- ers, and the friends with whom we part on thit day. Graduation is a great milestone in our lives and whatever regrets we may have, we the class of 1960 must put them aside and go forth to the task of fullfilling our purpose in life with the knowledge that our wonderful days in Laramie High will help to make us better men and women.

Terry Rininger, No. 35, tries for another LHS touchdown as his team mates do their best to block for him. CO-CAPTAINS: Here's another of 4 those famous Laramie passes. Eyes closed, yet. The Plainsmen Come from Behind to Grab Second Place Plainsman football, 1959, opened Sept. 4, on ol' Plainsman field with Laramie going against the Cody Broncs. It looked rather dim for the Plainsmen . . . out- weighed, undermanned, and inexperienced ... as the Broncs overpowered the Plainsmen 12-6. It looked like another dim night as the Plainsmen traveled up to the oil city to meet up with another loss, 13 7. Next came our Homecoming. The Rock Springs Tigers had not beaten us since 1954. However, this year the Plainsmen were a solid two touchdown underdog. Things looked mighty glum as the Tigers led at half lime 20-0. The Plainsmen came to life in the second half and tied the score at 20-20. With six minutes to play. Rock Springs ran back a punt to win 27-20. Laramie had definitely shown its stuff in almost defeating the state's No. 1 team. It was a different story after the Tor- rington game though ... as the Plains- men won 34-6. Still off the press top-ten ratings, the Plainsmen were slightly favored to come out on top against Abbey, Colo. Fight- ing hard, Laramie brought their record up to 2-3, by a 13-7 win. The real test of the New Plainsmen came Oct. 16, when the men from Lar- amie faced a strong Rawlins team. Raw- lins, a touchdown favorite and celebrat- ing their homecoming, were overpowered by the mighty Plainsmen, and went down 14-0. . . . much to the delight of the cold but very happy Laramie section of the stands. Again underdogs, the Plainsmens' next assignment, the 2nd-rated Sheridan Broncs. Injury-laden and out-weighed, the Plainsmen scored a touchdown in each of the three first periods to upset the pow- erful Sheridan crew. Among the stories drifting back to Laramie from Sheridan was the one that Laramie's 6 cheerleaders made more noise than the entire Sheridan rooting section. Always a highlight in the football year is the meeting with our rival, Cheyenne. This year was no exception ... on the contrary . . . this one was even bigger as it was the last gamo to be played be- tween the two schools. Moving up to 4th in the ratings the Plainsmen . . . the Plainsmen chalked up another win by beating the Indians 27-6. The crowd of Laramie rooters, perhaps outnumbering the Cheyenne crowd, went wild as their team had a field day . With at least a tie for 2nd clinched, Laramie's conference season was over. In the final game to be played on the old Plainsman field, the Bobcats from Scotts- bluff, sporting a 21-game winning streak, posed quite a target for the Plainsmen. Although some predicted a final game letdown, our boys turned in a tremendous team effort to defeat a clawing pack of Bobcats. 20-12. And so Laramie High School Football on Plainsman field came to a roaring close. Next year a new era of Plainsman foot- ball will start. We feel it will be as great as the one that ended Nov. 6, 1959.

His favorite expression is Say now , and his secret ambition is to be a basketball coach for a day. Jim attended Sheridan High School for two years before he moved to Laramie.

B-ballers Play with Bad Breaks Laramie High Basketball for 1959-60 started Dec. 4 with a clove 42-39 win over the Torrington Trailblazers. The Plainsmen went down to defeat the following night, how- ever, against Ft. Morgan. Hampered by flu, injuries, and poor scoring-power, the Plainsmen lost their next nine games. Showing they hadn't forgotten how to win a ball game, however, the Plainsmen beat Douglas 54-46 at Douglas. Losing three more, the Laramie cagers hosted Douglas and defeated them 56-52. The next night the Plainsmen showed their stuff in defeating St. Mary's 38-31. Our last two games were lost to Wheatland and Casper respectively. Up in Tor- rington for the district tourney, Laramie lost its opening game to Wheatland, 65-38. In the second-round consolation, the Plainsmen, with a cold first quarter lost to Douglas, 60-43. the bus driver stares ahead: Mr. Chasteen is discussing something with Mr. Jensen—basketball or is it Adolph Coors? The Trip in the Yellow Terror The birds-eye view of the events leading up to the Torrington game. TORRINGTON—Torrington jumped off to an 18 to 9 first quarter lead, and was never head- ed Saturday night in downing Laramie 59 to 48. Jim Kildebeck, Dave Ferrari, and Vernon Loveland teamed up to build a Torrington lead of 34 to 28 at intermission and 46 to 37 at the end of three quarters. Hall was nearly all of the Plainsman offense as he poured in 10 field goals and three free throws. No one else on the Laramie team had over six points. There were three technical fouls on the Laramie boys by the end of the game. Inside this bus things take place. What is it Billy Neal is saying? Who said I didn't like girls with black hair? Of course then, there are a few who always see the edu- cational side. Like Bill Scott: he is studying the deeper elements of poker. Here at last. Careful, Ralph, it's a long way down. Steve don t just stand there with that silly look on your face. Help rA nh MY------This is the side of the story some people never seel! Dean: All right, who stole my ????? 63 Row I: Lloyd Role.

Working hard, boys? V Al looks a little tired . Watch them close, ref! Wrestlers Do Themselves Proud Tho fastest-growing sport around Lar- amie High School in recent year� it wrestling. A 14-match schedule plus three tournaments faced the squad as they trained for their first match with Love- land, Colorado. Our graps were a little cold getting started, however, and dropped tho meet 25-17. With a match and another wock of training under their belts, the manors returned to Loveland to take sixth place in the Loveland invi- tational tourney. Frank Scott, 133-pound- er, and 145-pounder AI Frude took first places in their respective weights. Lara- mie also placed two third's and two fourth's. Our Laramie grapplers seemed to warm up to our first conference match against Casper at the big city. The Plainsmen won by a tight 24-22 mark. Tied at 22- 22 going into the final match, heavy- weight Terry Riningcr won a decision and won the match for Laramie. Lloyd Rote scored a pin in the 112 pound class. Laramie High Students, rapidly becom- ing more interested in wrestling, had a good representation at our next match in Ft. Collins. Braving the slick roads and winter weather, the Laramie cheering sec- tion made as much noise as the home crowd! Ft. Collins squeezed by the Plainsmen. Showing their stuff for the first time on home mats, the Plainsmen rolled to an impressive 33-8 win over a scrappy Saratoga bunch. One of the largest crowds in l.H.S. wrestling history watched the Plainsmen take all but two matches. Rick Lucas and Frank Scott pinned their opponents in 2:15 and 1:50 respectively. Hitting the road again, Laramie's mat- ters tied a stiff Wheatland team. Return- ing the favor, Laramie played host to Wheatland the noxt week. Not acting much like a host, l.H.S. avenged the 26- 26 tie of a week ago with an impressive 28-18 win. A crowd of more than 300 were on hand to cheer the groaners. Larry Erickson pinned his 145 pound op- ponent in 55 seconds. Terry Rininger also added a five pointer in 175 pound action in 1 minute and 15 seconds. Feb- ruary 5 found the Plainsmen going up against the much respected rival, Chey- enne. Laramie's heavy power showed, however, as the Plainsmen swept the last seven matches to defeat Cheyenno 37-11. Terry Rininger closed the night's action with a three-minute forty-second pin. Back home again for the rough assign- ment of hosting the defending state champions from Worland. Hoping to remain unbeaten by Wyoming competi- tion, Coach Mason said, I think I'm safe in saying that this Worland team will be one of the top teams we meet all year. Worland's superior power and three re- turning state champs proved too much for the Plainsmen and 600 screaming fans as Laramie bowed 29-16. On the morning of Feb. 18, the four- teen man Plainsman squad pulled out of Laramio on a three-day campaign on the east side of the state. The first of the three meets gave the Plainsmen a scare as they nudged Rapid City, South Dakota, 21-17 in the last match. Fred Bcman, with tho score reading 18-17, won his match on riding time. The next night found the Plainsmen defeating Newcas- tle 28-16. Frank Scott, Ron Mogensen, Al Frude and Bill McGraw all pinned their opponents. A 30-10 victory over Lusk, the next night, finished a perfect road trip. Back home, another rough assign- ment waited the squad. A two-night stand against Powell and Rock Springs. Laramie had an unexpectedly easy time disposing of the Panthers from Powell 29-15. Ralph God be and Fred Beman came through with pins. Rock Springs proved slightly more difficult the next afternoon as they went down to Lara- mie 22-16. The last dual meet of the season was against the always rugged Cheyenne In- dians. Laramie proved its strength once again defeating Cheyenne 27-20. The regular season finished, the Plainsmen wrestlers started preparing for the tour- naments. Laramie showed strong all through the district tournament in Wheat- Looks like another pin for Laramie. land defending successfully their eastern regional crown as well as qualifying eight wrestlers for the state meet. The Plains- men took the lead in state tournament and held it until the consolation semi- finals when Powell squeaked past. Ron Mogensen, 133 pounds and Al Frude, 145 pounds won state championships, as Lar- amie came in second by only 9 points. This young lady should be quite a familiar sight to anyone who has ever attended a Laramie High wrestling match . . . She is none other than Michael Lynn Beltz. Mike, Lynn, or Belch, was born on November 3, 1942. She stands all of 5' 2Vi and weighs 112 pounds. Lynn has blonde hair and blue eyes, and has a favorite pasttimo of dancing. She loves combination salads and ordors them at every opportunity. Along with many others is a secret ambition to wear colored contact lenses, and her pet peeve is try- ing to find ridos to out-of-town matches and games ... oh yes, Lynn has another pet peeve . . . those little pink pills she used to take before a game ... a slight necessity really. Lynn has been a driving force behind much of the school spirit that has developed for wrestling. 65 Our first featured wrestling co-captain is Ralph Godbe. Ralph was president of the LHS L Club during his senior year. He was born De- cember 22, 1942, is 5' 9 tall, weighs 150 pounds, and has brown hair and brown eyes. Ralph likes steak and cranberries, and his pet peeve is schools without escalators. His secret ambition is to make the Olympic Chess team and his future plans include college. A few of the boys . . . Caudillo, Godbe, Frude, Steele, Scott, Mogensen, and Rote. Our other wrestling co-captain is Ron Mogensen. Ron was born July 10, 1942, weighs 140 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes. He was sec- retary of the L club during his senior year and has a secret ambition of being a wrestling coach. His favorite food is cheese pizza and the saying forget it—I did. Ron's future plans include college. Next we have Bernard Beezy Steele whose proud arrival is marked on Jan- uary 24, 1940. He stands 5' 10W and weighs 150 pounds and has red- dish-brown hair and blue eyes. Beezy was the wrestling captain for the first half of his senior year . . . until the age limit took effect. He was also treasurer of the L club. His future plans are the United States Navy. Fred Beman, whose nickname is Butch has been on the wrestling squad for approximately four years. His favorite expression is oh ya and his future plans include engineering school. All the boys on the wrestling quad will remember this fellow for a long time to come. This is, of course, their coach . . . Mr. Mason, or Bob. Our next Senior wrestler is Frank Scott, better known as Scotty . Frank's pet peeve is 200-pound line- men, and his secret ambition is to be a great race car driver. Jensen Resigns as Head Basketball And Track Coach to Teach in Shops Coach Vern Jensen resigned this year as head basketball and track coach and will teach next year in the industrial arts depart- ment. The student body thanks him for producing some fine basketball teams over the past eight years and wishes him a more relaxed atmosphere in the shops. Vernon Jensen, commonly known around the halls of Lara- mie High School as Uncle Vern, came to be our basketball coach in 1951. Before he arrived here he was coach at Lyman, Wyoming (his home town where he received his high school edu- cation) for four years. Coach Jensen, who refers to himself as the babysitter of Laramie High because he has quite a LARGE study hall, third period, was born in Alton, Idaho, went to grade school in Paris, Idaho, and graduated from Lyman in 1943. From there he en- tered the University of Wyoming. His education was interrupted for a year when he had to serve Uncle Sam in the infantry. He then went back to school for his remaining three years and was a member of the university varsity basketball team. When Mr. Jensen was asked what he thought of Laramie high he replied: Its a good school, but it is crowded. In fact, it's so crowded I can't think. When he isn't at home with his wife, Tiny, and his two sons, Gregg and Brooks, he can usually be found hunting, fishing, or just playing.

I CLUB BUYS MOVIE PROJECTOR In order to be qualified for L Club, one must have earned a letter by participating at least half of the time in varsity con- tests in at least one of the following sports: football, basketball, wrestling, or track. During the school ycar, I Club spon- sored three basketball games; Laramie High School Faculty vs. I Club, and here- and-there games between L.H.S. faculty and Casper High School faculty. The pro- ceeds were used towards the purchase of a 16-mm projector for the athletic de- partment. A QUEEN'S STORY L Club was very happy to have its Homecoming candidate, Jeanne longpre, win the election for the 1959 Homecoming Queen. Escorted by Mick Crouse, Jeanne really made a beautiful queen. The club's presentation skit was a men's style show featuring women's fashions. The stylists cut some very elegant figures. The M.C.'s for the Coronation, Frankie Scott and Jim Hall, had a patter that really helped to make our Homecoming the best yet. Junior Members of Pep Club Row 1: Jeanne Longpre.

The majority of these meetings at the first of the year was to plan for Homecoming and to choose the chairmen for the various commit- tees that Pep Club is responsible for having. Judy Brueckner was 72 elected the Inter-Club Council rep- resentative. This year the Pep Club has decided on new uniforms and the maroon skirts and weskits are to be ready for the game on October 1. Sounds such as hut, two, three, four-right face, left face coming from the boys' gym on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, prove that Drill Teams are the main acti- vities of the Pep Club during the latter part of the year and just after Christmas. Sandy Dawson has been chosen senior drill captain, Susan Flippin commands the juniors, and Carol Krafczik is the drill master for the sophomores. The drill teams decided to wear the regula- tion uniform plus white gloves, maroon socks, and white shoes. The girls did very well, and the entire student body was very proud when the various teams did their stuff at assorted basketball games. David Smith president Geraldine Hill _ vice-president Roger Dodds student council Darlene Tippets secretary Sue Hitchcock student council Members of the Junior Class are up in the clouds since they will be the first graduates from the new high school building in 1961. Juniors Hove Brains, Brawn and Talent The first big project for the juniors was the Homecoming float, because we want- ed our junior class footballers—Melton Smith, Larry Erickson, Terry Rininger, Al- len Frude� George Squires and Bill Scott —to be as proud of our class float as we as a class were of thoir performance on the team. The class chartered a bus to go to the afternoon game in Cheyenne. Everyone had sticky fingers the after- noon that the junior class sponsored a candied apple sale. With Cathy Lanum as chairman, the caloric sale was quite a success! Sandy Outsen is responsible for many of the dollars in the junior class treasury due to her efforts with the jun- ior-sponsored concession stands at the football and basketball games. Our bas- ketball rah's went for juniors Dean Chall- man and Ralph Prahl—but just to prove that we are a versatile bunch, we had Allen Frude, Larry Erickson, George Squires and Terrys Miller and Rininger on the championship wrestling team. The juniors chartered another bus over the hill for the Cheycnne-Laremie basketball game. —and dahling, we do have talent for the theatah, in addition to all our brains and brawn and good looks!! Sandy Deti, Cathy Hosier, Lonnie Fallin, Susan Flippin and David Smith helped to make the Thespian play a real hit!—and then the Juniors turned back the clock with the junior class play and we were represented by Alison Tyler, Sandy Deti, Judy Tatham, Darlene Tippets and Shelby Ames at the Thespian Assembly. George Washington's birthday proved to be the wrong day for John Bugg and Mike Self to cut a figure-eight. Both boys had broken ankles as a result of the junior-class skating party. Our student council representative. Sue Hitchcock, was named state secretary at the Wyoming Association of Student Councils' convention in Newcastle. We're saving the best towards last— and the junior class has many best stu- dents. It would be impossible to name them all—but right up at the top you would always find names like Aksel Pet- erson, Zora Juraco, Coralee Holden, Melo- dic Irvine, Linda Maushak, Claire An- drews, Sheila Corgan, Don Rardin, Paul Fanning, Roger Morgan, Barbara Gilroy, Kathy Braisted, Karen Cook, Mary Lee Helms and Melton Smith. If we have forgotten your name and it should be in this list, include it mentally. David Smith, Shelby Ames and Mack Schrib were our junior speakers at the junior-senior banquet when we cruised Hawaiian style. Our junior year has been filled with many activities and interesting things that juniors do—picking out class rings, for example—and we will certainly cherish the memories we have made this year—and use them as a background for the senior memories we will add as '61 draws nearer for the class of '61. Sandy Outsen, left, moderates a panel discussion on school spirit at an assembly program. Panelists, members of Mr. Chasteen's English III class, are Zora Zuraco, Pat Kane, Susan Flippin, Jeff Thompson, Paul Fanning, Terry Rininger, Judy Tatham, Coralee Holden 73 Billie Ackerson Gary Ackerson Shirley Adams Jim Alford AAery Ann Aim Merridy Allen Sandra Allen Beverly Ames Shelby Ames Claire Andrews Jim Arp Bari Baillie Ring Salesmen Descend on Juniors Junior Class officers and Junior Class representatives, chosen from their respective English sec- tions, meet in the auditorium with Don Merback, a jewelry company representative, to hear his sales talk on a ring which might be chosen for the class ring for the Class of 1961.

Turn Back the Clock , a three-act play on the turmoils of a teen-age girl, was presented Dec. 14 by the junior class. A morning performance was given for the junior high. Miss Lane was faculty director and Dave Smith acted as student director of the comedy. Set in a small town in the 1920's, the story centers around a teen- age girl (Barbara Gilroy) and two ro- mantic interests played by John Hanks and Bill Wagner. Highlights of the play were the hilarious gowns worn by the feminine leads, the charleston as done by Bill Wagner on his fractured heel, and the flapperish antics of Judy Tatham. The whole cast entertained the audience splendidly. John Hanks and Lonnie Fallen discuss (at a distance, to be sure) whether or not Barbara Gilroy is going out. The set is as yet stacked around in neat piles in front of the back wall, which shows the autographing talents of many other young actors. Row 1: Eire© Hall. Mary lin Barn©� . Jill Strohmaier.

Future Homemakers Stage Varied Activities The Laramie High School Future Homemakers of Ameri- ca were called to order early in September 1959 by the President Jackie James, and everyone waited anxiously to hear the outcome of the first order of business— Who would be our candidate for Homecoming Queen? Who would plan the skit to present our candidate in assembly? What would we do about a float in the Homecoming parade? Who would see about the posters in the halls of Laramie High? After much deliberation and careful planning, we presented Elizabeth Valdez in a fantastic style show of the latest styles of balloon, sack, and barrel dresses at the assembly program. Elizabeth was a most attractive model in a light-green lace creation. In the parade six girls on horseback escorted her horse-drawn carriage with the caption— The Plainswomen. After homecoming we really settled down to the busi- ness of the year. Barbara Larson, our vice-president, Nancy Worster, our recreation leader, and Geraldine Garcia, par- liamentarian, were privileged to attend the leaders-in- training meeting in Douglas. They came back with many good suggestions for our meetings during the year as well as a lively description of their trip and experiences of trying to sleep in bunk beds in a room with about 60 other girls. In October we had a dinner for our mothers and also showed a movie on 'Teenager Consumer. We also had a thanksgiving dinner which was most delicious. Norma Martinez provided the entertainment for us when she displayed her talents on the piano. In addition we have had two other dinners which we call just business din- ners. Then, of course, our most recent accomplishment was the pie sale for the teachers of LHS. That was quite an ordeal; the girls got the orders and delivering all mixed up. Another thing we did was to attend the Sweetheart Ball sponsored by the Jr. FHA. We all planned and got ready to go to the District Meeting, March 26 at Hanna. We practiced a skit called Your Future with Home Economics to get ready to fake and to find some hidden talent among our club members. All the girls wish to thank our sponsors. Miss Geneva Bird and Mrs. Irene Woods, who have really helped us in our club. Who wouldn't like to have hi pulse taken by thi regal Future Nur c? Can- didate Judy on the arm of Escort Fred Conyers.

Verba Ray, they started the year try- ing to make Future Nurses a more efficient organization. Early in the year, they were priv- ileged to attend the American Legion Auxiliary, where they witnessed the presentation of their annual scholar- ship award. They also found out how they might have a chance to win it in the future, and had an opportunity to speak with Dean Amelia Leino, head of the Department of Nursing at the University of Wyoming. Later this year they attended a coke date at the University to become acquaint- ed with nursing, as well as some of the student nurses and the adminis- tration of the nursing school at the University of Wyoming. It hasn't all been fun and no work for these busy gals. They helped with both the Diabetes Drive and the Crippled Children's Clinic.

Future Teachers Host State Convention F.T.A. began another active year with the tapping of the new members, followed closely by the traditional candlelight initiation cere- mony. Many activities were suggested by the officers, Karen McNinch (president), Charlene Lutz (vice president), Susan Comin (secretary), Frances Wenger (treasurer), Sharon Ross (point chair- man), and the other members of F.T.A. Among the first and most important activities was the election of Lynn Beltz as our Home- coming Queen Candidate; her escort was Ralph God be. We also planned a skit for the presen- 90 tation of our candidate. After the Rawlins game in January we held a dance which proved very successful. Future plans include a chili supper, a Mother's Tea, a Banquet and Honor Night, and we plan to be hosts for the annual State Future Teachers Convention. Opportunities are great for the Future Teachers of America. Not only do they have a chance to teach in elementary school and substitute in Junior and Senior High School, but they also learn the importance and advantages of the profession of teaching.

Mrs. J. A. McPherson addressed the group. On October 21, a carry-in din- ner was held. Mrs. Donnell, the new sponsor, was introduced. Entertainment was furnished by a senior sextet consisting of Jeanne Longpre, Roberta Mast, Kathy Ruch, Judy Twitched, Sar- ah Payne, and Anne Siren. The girls sang Maggie Blues and To Know Him Is to Love Him. Mr. Jack Corbett, the superin- tendent of schools in Laramie, ex- plained some of the things about the local school system and an- swered questions concerning the new high school. During the school year, F.T.A. has been one of the more active groups in the school with a dance after a game and a chili supper on March 29. A good time was had at both of these affairs and they are only a few of the many things that the Lara- mie Chapter of Future Teachers has done and in which it has participated.

A., the officers, president Alice Marriner, vice-president Lynn Beltz, secretary Carolyn Brown, treasurer Kathy Stoddard, point chairman Wadetta Ricketts, and the new sponsor Mrs. Willard, planned 1959-60 activities to in- clude basketball and tumbling every Monday after school. A dance was sponsored by G.A.A. after one of the football games. Homecoming activities brought Alice Marriner Homecoming Queen candidate for G. A. A. to ride in the Homecoming parade and stand proudly to announce her favorite club when the skits were presented. Future goals are to improve enthusiasm for sports activities throughout com- ing years. G. A. A. Plans to sponsor more dances and also have a play day sports activi- ty. G. A.

Those attending were Mary Lonsdale, Ellen Harding, Judy Gillespie, Leota Covert, Bill Michael, Mi- chael Scott, Deidre Campbell, Dorothy Walker, Sandra Steck, and Galen Stallings. The Christmas Concert was followed by a party for the members of the music depart- ment. Do you remember Tim and the doughnuts? The instrument room is very small, but it seems to have many uses.

The club scheduled a bus to Boul- der and made plans to take a bus to the Denver Museum of Natural His- tory. Their float, entered in the home- coming parade, won first place for originality the second year in a row. They also sponsored a dance after one of the football games.

Speech Team Enters Ten Meets The Laramie High Speech Team has been very busy this year participating in about 10 meets, including district and state speech festivals. Among the categories they com peted in are debate, prose reading, poetry reading, oratory, discussion, extemporaneous speaking, radio speaking, choral speaking, and one-act plays. Outstanding members of the team are: Susan Comin, Sarah Payne, Wadetta Ricketts, Joanna Lanum, Kim Dye, Keith Rounds, and Roger Dodds. Laramie Jr. Ski Team Goes to Winter Under the direction of president Mickey Crouse, Mary Black- stone, vice president; and Tillie Greaves, secretary-treasurer, the ski club has participated in many entertaining activities. About five car loads of skiers—beginners to experts—went to Winter Park for a day of skiing and fun. A style show was also spon- sored in conjunction with Fred Richardson's Sport Haus and everyone who attended got an excellent idea of what is vogue on the ski slopes this season.

Nearly 100 members, guests and initiates attended the banquet and dance given in honor of those stu- dents who successfully completed their first semester of Spanish instruction. The party, held in the activity room which was decorated with streamers, bal- loons, Spanish posters and a mural by Mary Blackstone and Karen Kennedy, fea- tured a banquet highlighting an all- Mexican menu, prepared by a committee of parents and students directed by Mrs. Yrineo Frausto. A short welcoming speech in Spanish was made prior to the banquet by Larry Mallory, Spanish club co-president, who introduced the program. Carmen and Jennie Frausto presented their interpreta- tion of the Mexican Hat Dance, which was followed by a pantomime prepared by Mary and Karen. Tim Pelton sang a Span- ish parody and an English song. Mrs. Frausto was thanked for her part in the success of the banquet in a speech by Hank Hougland, also in Spanish, and the club presented her with a bouquet of flowers. A response was made in Span- ish by Peggy McKaughan, an eighth grad- er, first-year student. The program was concluded with a speech by Allen Dav- enport, co-president. A dance, led by costumed students in black trousers with white leg stripes, and gaily colored full skirts and white peasant blouses, followed the dinner.

With the motto, Act well your part, there all the honor lies, thousands of young actors and actresses have portrayed comedy and tragedy throughout the past 30 years. During the 1959-60 school year Thes- pian Troup 70 has been especially 'active. The Sixteens , minus one. sing at Thespian's first all-school assembly. The student body hopes the Troup will do this frequently. After starting the year with activities for Homecoming, the Thespians then began production of their play, January Thaw. Try-outs were later held for new mem- bers, and at the annual initiation banquet in January, the new members officially joined the Troup. In March the Thespians presented the fits! all-school assembly to the Senior High, in which Troup members exhibited various kinds of talent. The Annual Honor Night concluded the year. At this time members presented skits to join National Thespians, and awards were presented to the deserving members for their year's work.

A tree was strung with cookies, pop corn, and cut-out figures to follow German Christmas customs as closely as possible. The.menu consisted of pea soup, Ger- man meatballs, German tossed salad, Ger- man fried potatoes and apple cakes, cook- ies and bread baked by mothers. After dinner the first-year students pre- sented a program of skits and carols for the second-year class, evoryone helped with the dishes, participated in a Polka contest, and ■finally prizes were given to the best-dressed German couple. As a special surprise der Weinachts- man (Father Christmas) appeared and dis- tributed gifts, apples, oranges and nuts to the students. A sidewalk cafe near the Eiffel tower in Paris formed the setting for this year's French Costume banquet which was held in the activity room Jan. 31. Some 70 French students were in at- tendance and stuffed themselves on a variety of hors d'oeuvres, French onion soup, roast leg of lamb, fried chicken, fried potatoes, green beans, chocolate eclairs and grape juice. The dinner was prepared by Mrs. Sprowell, with able assistance from many others. Many of the costumes were outstanding and a prize was given to Martha Dough- erty for her fine costume. Entertainment included a short skit by Geraldine Hill and Dale Pierantoni, group singing, and movies. Best summary statement, The food was delicious. The activity room became Nero's Golden House April 12, when thq Latin classes held their annual banquet. Second year students dressed in toga and stoics represented Romans who were either par- ticipants or spectators of the Ncronian festival, a celebration founded by Nero which provided competition in music, gymnastics, dramatics, and horsemanship. The purpose of the festival was to pro- vide Nero the opportunity of showing off his talents. At the close of the contest, Judge Jim Joslyn, presented the winners crown to Nero, portrayed by John Hanks. Other contestants included Jacob Vigil, Osea Nelson, Evora Williams, Lewis Pel- ton, William Michael; and participants in skits written by Lewis Pclfon: Melton Smith, Ralph Prahl, Eric Hanson, Bruce Andrews, Terry West, Barbara Lessley. Albert McPhee, Kenneth Stcbncr, Judy Gillespie, Albert McPhee. James Holm- strand, Janelle Burleson. Food, typical of that eaten by the Romans, was served by first-year students who were dressed in slave costumes.

Junior High Future Homemakers Send Delegates to Douglas Practically the first thing we did last fall was to send some delegates to the officers' train- ing school at Douglas. THEY learned how to live in the boys dorm — without the boys, of course. They came home with ideas for our club, too. We've tried to use some of them this year in working out our program of work. We did carolling at Christmas, and we had fun, mak- ing placecards for the Conval- escent Home and for Ivinson Memorial Hospital. We had our Sweetheart Dance in the new look activity room. No one left hungry. March 26 we went to Hanna for our district meet- ing. We've been small, but we've had fun!

Our officers are Howard Schroyer, president; Tim Pelton, vice-president; John Wil- liams, secretary; and Don-Brown, ICC representative. A few of us entered the Dis- trict Science Fair, but none of us placed. Next year we hope to do better. Also some of us went to State Fair at Casper, and Bi-State Fair at Boulder to get some ideas and observe. We've had three speakers this year: Mr. Parker, the new geog- raphy teacher, spoke on rockets and missiles. Ken Barnes gave us a demonstration on electrici- ty, and Mr. Reynolds filled in with some other programs. We wish to thank our spon- sor, Mr. Reynolds, for putting up with us, also Mr. Parker, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Dahl, and Mrs. Wal- ker, who were very helpful and patient.

Junior L Club Members Finish Three Sports This organization was formed to encour- age Junior High boys to participate in all four sports offered at Laramie. They have to finish three sports in order to letter. Each sport is set up with so many points— football is 25 points. The points arc broken down in this manner—5 points for atten- dance, 5 points for effort, 5 points for atti- tude, and 10 points for participation in games. Wrestling is generally set up for only 15 points because it enjoys such a short space of lime between basketball and track. Wres- tling points arc broken down in this manner —attendance, 3 points; attitude, 3 points; effort, 3 points; and 6 points for participation in matches. Some allowance has been made for a few boys who desire to be in a sport but are not proficient in basketball. If these boys work diligently in wrestling, they can be awarded 25 points. A boy must have a total of 35 points for a minor letter and 50 points for a major letter. He must have at least 20 points in any sport except wrestling in order to get an insert in that sport. In wrestling, a boy must have better than 10 points in order to get an insert. The senior high side of the gym was hard-pressed to come out with a tie against the junior high side after several months of pep-assembly competition. Any- one for split eardrums? Scenes such as this one outside the building on a rain afternoon, forced the City of Laramie to forbid any parking around the building between the hours of 8 and 4. This was done to protect young people from walking into traffic between parked cars, to facilitate movement of traffic in the morning and afternoon, and to give the school buses needed room. The students enjoy another of pep club's good skits. Pep Club and the Pep Band warm up before the pep assemblies.

Able co-sponsors of the group are Mrs. Virginia Black and Miss Nancy Jones. On November 13 the club held a dance for members and their dates in the activity room. This dance was so successful they de- cided to have a skating party. They also held a twirp dance, girls in- viting the boys, on April 1 for all junior high students. The group has been very active and has given the girls a very good idea of what will be expected of them when they get into the senior high pep group.

The first semester activity was a 7th grade dance, held November 22nd, after school in the activity room. This activity was well-attended with approximately 95 students, 9 chaperones, and 3 or 4 guests. Tragedy threatened as the dance began— the recorder wouldn't work or couldn't be heard when it was running, so three officers flew for home and substitute recorders. In the meantime, Mrs. Gilles- pie of the music department saved the day with her recorder. The dance was in full swing when the three officers re- turned, in a rush, EACH with a recorder! So—we ended up with five or six record- ers, but we had a lot of fun, despite the panic at the start! With vacations, final exams and all, we remained fairly inactive until the begin- ning of the second semester. Then we began planning a second dance. We arc anticipating a 7th grade dance probably in late April or early May, with invita- tions being sent to the 7th graders at University Prep and St. Laurence schools. So we bid the retiring 7th graders a fond adieu and wish them all good luck in the 8th grade . . . then wait, with an- ticipation, for the in-coming 7th graders who will fill the vacancies and offer op- portunities for new friendships.

She painted the pictures on canvas in Salt Lake City from sketches 10 x 22 . At one time they were laid out on the stage; how- ever the picture in the back of the audi- torium was painted on the wall by Miss Ware. The pictures denote stages of progress in the Laramie Valley: Explorers, Pioneers, The Coming of the Union Pacific, and Cowboys, 1878-1930 . Florence Ware strove for authenticity, and from first to last, everything is authentic. In the first picture, Explorer , Jacque LaRamie, the man for whom the town of Laramie was named, is the prominent fig- ure. He is surrounded by Jim Coulter, Father DeSmet, Fremont, and Indians. In the clouds of each picture are figures to denote the passing of an era before the period depicted in the picture itself. In the first mural, Thomas Jefferson, and some Spanish rulers are in the clouds. The tree in the middle was drawn from an actual tree near the Summit. Moun- tains are those from Snowy Range. Pioneers : The dresses are those worn by people of the age and all the cook- ing pots, wagons, etc. are authentic. This picture portrays the area around Chimney Rock. Miners are shown in the clouds. The Coming of the Union Pacific; Home Makers : This mural shows a fam- ily in front of their cabin with tho mother knitting and the daughter churn- ing butter. A real train was used as the ■jsodel in the upper picture, and a stage- coach and pony express rider are in the clouds. Cowboys—1878-1930 : A cow punch- er is in the upper picture with Indians in the sky. Shown below is a school, and that school, originally called Laramie East Side School, is still standing in the center of our present Laramie High School, and as is obvious, quite a few changes have been made since it was first erected. 134 SECTION SEVEN Row 1: Kathleen Cate, Karen Prahl.

To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. —Christian D.
