Laurel High School - Laurels Yearbook (Laurel, MT)

SENIOR HISTORY We, the Class of '52, leave regretfully, but willing to take up the tasks that life offers us. In 1948, we entered the halls of LHS as sixty-nine green freshmen” under the leadership of three different sponsors: Miss Roscoe, Mr. Arington, and Mr. Brown. The officers elected were: president, Herman Wagner; Vice-president, Andy Zahn; secretary, Loraine Moorman; treasurer, Nayan Cartee; SAC representative, Bob Smith. Herman Wagner and Shirley Adams were our candidates for the Laurel Leaves contest. The Carnival was the first money-making scheme we undertook, having two booths, darts and ball throwing. Peggy Bernhardt was our choice for Carnival Queen. As sophomores, we were a bit more experienced in the ways of high school life and decided to be satisfied with only one sponsor instead of our usual three since there was not much for us to do this year. Under the guidance of Miss Roberts, we elected Jim Brohaugh, president; Janet Frant, vice-president; Shirley Adams, secretary; Judy Huntington, treasurer; Kenny Leuthold and Betty Jones, SAC representatives. Pat Bender and George Bangert were nominated as our candidates in the Laurel Leaves contest. Upperclassmen at last--as juniors, we were kept busy from the very first weeks of school by selling concessions at all football and basketball games, as well as at the tournament. With the able assistance of Miss Varcoe, and Mr. Sawhill, we elected our dutiful cabinet which consisted of Don Brown, president; Henry Meyers, vice-president; Shirley Adams, secretary; Florine Lehr, treasurer; Nayan Cartee, Judy Huntington and Terry Hirschfelt, SAC representatives. In this junior year we ordered our class rings from the Josten Company. We didn't receive our rings until early spring. As tradition has it, we too had to put on a junior-senior prom and banquet. A pirate theme was used and carried out by everything from bloody swords to treasure chests. Our candidates for the Laurel Leaves contest were Darlene Frank and Ken Leuthold. This same year we presented the play, Bill’s Night Out, under the direction of Miss Rose Sampson. After jolts and jostling, we finally reached our senior year. We elected Ken Leuthold, president; Shirley Adams, vice-president; Elsie Frank, secretary; Nayan Cartee, treasurer; Jim Brohaugh, Don Brown, Kathleen Keener, and Ken Leuthold, SAC representatives. We ordered our senior announcements from the Balfour Company. As seniors, we worked hard on our new annual with Shirley Adams and Ken Leuthold acting as co-editors and Miss Helen Kamerzell as our capable advisor. With the assistance of Miss Rose Sampson, the seniors presented the play, The Bishop’s Mantle.
