We, the staff, believe that the greatest laurels of this school are the graduates sent out to make their mark in the world. In accordance, we have featured the most visible progress of our educational system, the buildings. The first school building (pictured on the inside covers), was moved in to the comer of Fifth Avenue and Main in 1900. The first high school was built in 1908, on West Seventh. It is now the North Side Grade School (pictured on the fall division page). There are two other grade schools, the South School and the new East School—completed last year. This year the latest addition to the high school was completed. It adds ten new classrooms and administrative offices. The LAURELS expresses its appreciation to Mr. G. W. Fenton for the pictures of early school buildings and information concerning them. Dedication Education on the high school level has progressed far in 46 years. In 1908 the first high school was built in Laurel. Since then we have newer and better buildings. The buildings would be empty shells and of no use, except for teachers. To all teachers, but especially to those teachers who have taught and made for the Laurel High School a good reputation in institutions of higher learning we gratefully dedicate this, the 54 LAURELS, for all laurels belong to them. Metitoriam David Baldwin, freshman, was fatally injured in a bicycle-car accident, March 29, 1954. He was active in scouting and intramural sports. The class of '54 extends its deepest sympathy to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Willard Baldwin, and sister Virginia, '53. A shining example of character and goodness was expressed in Ollie Mae Andrews, our friend and classmate who passed away Sunday, May 23, 1954, of a cerebral hemorrhage. Her very life was a challenge to all of us who knew her. A vivid imagination, a zest for life, and a sincere interest in her friends and associates shine above all her other qualities. Ollie loved many things: her family, her church, her friends, and her school. She had talent in many fields and brought these out through her participation in varied activities. She was clever at writing, played the piano, and had a sweet soprano voice. Ollie enjoyed the out-of-doors and loved the rims and the river where she and her friends spent so much time. She was very fond of sports and one of her most-prized possessions was a letter she worked hard to earn for GAA. Ollie's life was a full and happy one. She was a credit to her family, her class, and her school. We will always remember Ollie for what she was—a happy, unselfish, cooperative person who made life easier and more pleasant for us all. Ollie's school activities included the presidency of the sophomore class, an active membership in pep club, GAA, and mixed chorus. She had been chosen to be the editor of the Laurels in her senior year. She recently ended a term of the office of Love in the Order of Rainbow for Girls and was vice president of the Girl Scout troop of which she is an eight-year member. The life of our school Is just like a season— It begins in the fall, There's really no reason. This was the first And still it does stand— How long will it be On the face of this land? MR.

Pep Club Officers: President, Sharen Foote; Vice President, Marilyn Erickson; Secretary, Louanne Campbell; and Treasurer, Donna Deines; led the members in a very active year of school activity and leadership. Making cheerleading pom poms was a major activity for this year. The club also worked to get more pep assemblies and bus trips. They set a precedent in having successful after-game dances. Their cheer drive proved highly successful. Grayce Boucher and Gerry Kaufman shared top honors for submitting the best yells; Orene Price took second place. Each received a pin with a locomotive crest. Football co-captains. Freeman and Fritzler, lead the annual snake dance with the Central dummy to be burned. Out with the old and in with the new.

Poor ball handling was evident as an opening game for both clubs. Laurel did prove that their defense was not to be laughed at as they consistently stopped their opponents behind the line of scrimmage. The Locomotives dropped their second game of the season to the Hardin Bulldogs 20 8 at Hardin. The Laurel crew couldn't seem to get started in the terrific heat of one of their two afternoon games during the season. Laurel consistently brought the ball into scoring territory but failed to converge in all but one attempt. Laurel's loss to Red Lodge. 13-0. at Laurel, proved to be the loss that hurt the most. It was their only conference defeat of the season. The Trainmen's offense was ripped apart throughout the game, partially due to the loss of their quarterback. Duane Tinncs. Defensively, the locals played the finest ball thus far in the year. Laurel completed their season as said by most fans when they overran the rival Billings Central 14-6 at Laurel. The first half was entirely dominated by the Central eleven, the halftime score. 6-0. Laurel came on the field in the second half with a full head of steam to score 14 points. All eleven players contributed their part to winning this game and overcoming the losing streaks to win the remainder of the season’s games. The dieselized Trainmen derailed the Harlowton Engineers 21-13 at Harlo in what appeared to be one of the most exciting games of the season. The half time score was knotted at 7-7: at the end of the third period Laurel led 14 13. In the closing minutes Harlo made a desperate but futile attempt to gain a touchdown when the Locomotives intercepted a pass and went all the way. Recognition cannot be denied the three linemen. Jay Kaiserman. Ed Leuthold and Bob Lane for their outstanding line work. In their second afternoon game of the '53 season Laurel completely overran the Columbus Cougars 28-0 at Columbus. Bob Schessler with the help of fine blocking sparked the Locomotives ground play. He averaged 21.3 yards per try. The Locomotives wrapped up their final game over the Big Timber Sheephcrders 34 6 at Laurel. Early in the second quarter Laurel began to dominate the game with a series of passes that did not end throughout the remaining quarters. Duane Tinnes completed 14 of his 17 pass attempts for the largest air gain in conference play. 12 (j. A A♦ BACK ROW: Beverly Wilson. Sharon Michael. June Paronro. Mary Anne Vaughn. Shirley Brano.

Fighting as the New York Yankees, the Harlem Globetrotters. and the Champion volleying team, the GAA girls displayed their ability in three tournaments; softball, basketball, volleyball. Inconveniences beset the GAA due to construction on the new building, necessitating the use of the East School Gym. Meetings were held weekly and biweekly, weather permitting. Financial activities centered on a sale of a hand-tooled leather purse and a flash camera. Play Day festivities in Powell, Wyoming were attended by June Paronto, Norma Brown, Mary Ann Vaughn, Ollie Andrews, Helen Cantrell, Gay Leather-man, Fern Ness, Beverly Wilson, Maria Kelly, Donna Deis, and Joan Hunting-ton.

The '54 basketball team composed of five seniors and five juniors started the season by defeating the '53 Wyoming class A champs by a score of 54-51. The luck then turned and the locomotives were defeated in a 7-game streak. The '53 champs, Big Timber, were the first to defeat the home five. Central rallied in the next game squeezing by 62-58. Columbus came through as the home team could not hit on charity throws. Harlowton kept the streak alive by defeating the trainmen, 58-50. Roundup's tall, fast-moving team next defeated the home five by a score of 59-45. After this tilt, tension tightened up in several close-fought games. Hardin and Billings Central were successful in getting by the now hard-fighting Locomotives by 2 points each. Laurel was successful in defeating Forsyth for the second time. Following this win, Red Lodge defeated the Laurel five, 63-50. Laurel defeated Worden on the home court, 63-44. Laurel was then defeated by Roundup, who was leading the league. Big Timber managed to get the edge in an over-time battle on the opposing court. Columbus and Harlowton both fell to the home five as they got their shooting eye and shot 42 and 40 per cent, consecutively. Laurel journeyed to Miles City for a pre-tourney contest and fought one of the finest battles of the season. Miles City won by the narrow margin of 68-65. In the last game, Hardin defeated the home five, 54-49, giving a season's standing of 5 wins and 13 losses. In tourney play the Locomotives were successful in rolling over the Forsyth Doggies 54-44. Roundup won in a low-scoring tilt. Columbus was successful in defeating the Locomotives although they shot 100% from the charity line. Final score: 72-60. 34 TOP LEFT: Roundup tournament game.

B-squad basketball of '53-'54 proved to be very interesting and successful. For the first time in three years the squad won at least 50 per cent of their games which gives hope that the basketball situation in Laurel High School is on the upgrade. No less than five of their squad are expected to flash their ability for the A team next year. 36 Hardin Game.

CLASS MOTTO: Rowing, Not Drifting CLASS FLOWER: White Rose CLASS COLORS: Orchid and Silver Senior Class History The mid century mark. 1950. found newspapers and magazines buzzing with world wide and national predictions. Although this never appeared in national magazines or made front-page headlines, a very important step was taken by 80 green, wide-eyed eighth graders—we entered high school. Imemdiately we got into the swing of high-school life and elected our class officers under the sponsorship of Mr. Bowen, a red-haired history teacher we all termed a swell guy. Marilyn Erickson was our president: Bob Smith, vice president: Wilma Kamp. sec ret ary-treasurer: and Laurie Adams and Lawrence Brese as Laurel Leaves King and Queen. As we entered our sophomore year, we were minus four people, but soon found we had to get down to brass tacks if we would ever successfully treat the seniors to a prom and banquet. So. under the leadership of Harley Behm. president: Dick Fritzler, vice president: Jerry Vogel, secretary; and Kay Williams, treasurer: the class started increasing the bank roll. Mr. Bowen left that year: however, his place was soon fully reoccupied by Mr. Siebert. Wilma Kamp. president: Gary Freebury. vice president: Laurie Adams, secretary: Lloyd Vadnais. treasurer: and Dick Fritzler and Tony DcCarlo. SAC representatives, really struggled along with the rest of us. selling concessions and sponsoring dances to make that amount of money we just didn’t have. Our Junior year was busy with our two main projects, the play I Remember Mama. which under the direction of Miss Helbing was named very outstanding, and the prom which followed the 'Coronation. since this was the year of Elizabeth’s crowning. We again sold the most Laurel Leaves subscriptions, enabling us to crown Bob Schessler and Marilyn Erickson as King and Queen. The girls voted to send Ann Bishop and Louanne Campbell to Girls' State, while Jay Kaiserman. L loyd Vadnais. and Bob Schessler represented the boys. As seniors, the class won the distinction of producing an all-state paper which really made our editors. Wilma Kamp. Bob Bryan, and Kay Williams, very proud. The class was especially glad when our president. Lloyd Vadnais. announced he would be going to Europe. The other officers. Ann Bishop, vice president: June Zagar. secretary: and Sharcn Fcote. treasurer, kept us well informed and working towards our goal, the yearbook. Class night and the play. Mr. Peepers. were the main stage productions which kept everyone busy. Mr. West named the honor students. Wilma Kamp. valedictorian: Kay Williams, salutatorian: Joyce Jordan ranked third. Before we were fully aware of it. commencement was a few days away. We were looking forward to receiving the diplomas, however, when the band played the first strains of Pomp and Circumstances. Many of us wept, remembering that the past four years were gone except for what would live on in our memories. 59 FIRST ROW. Left to Right: Joan Schiller. Josephine Frank. Laurie Adams.

El Paraiso de los Halgazones and Los Cinco y Uno are the official names of the Spanish Clubs, who have participated in various activities this year. Combining efforts, the two clubs sponsored an all-school dance, El Baile Ranchero, in commemoration of Pan-American Day, April 14. They learned some of the essentials of Mexican cookery by preparing luncheons occasionally throughout the year; then, in the spring they prepared a taco supper, to which they invited guests. Featuring the Mexican hat dance, the groups performed for several civic organizations. Also the Spanish II Club earned money for the purchase of club pins.
