eaiafz pw As we board our rocketship which will take us into the future, we set the controls to 1957 and with a burst of power we take off for the first step in our journey, the fair city of Libby, Well, here we are, We landed on the lawn in front of our favorite school, Libby High, where we find John Crotteau as janitor. He just couldn't say good-bye to the old school. Suddenly we hear the clang of the fire engine and we rush to the window in time to see the fire chief, Gerald Wood, standing gallantly on top of the head engine, and as he flashes by we catch the word Chargel As we walk out of the high school and down the street, we meet Shirley Baenan whose name isn't Baenan anymore. She's happily married and is doing well in her business of being a beauty operator, Next, we meet Phyllis Folden who is carrying a large box of stationery. In case you're wondering the stationery is for letters to the Navy. Keep the letters coming, Phyllis. All at once we hear a terrible racket. It's only Gary Delaney buzzing up Main Street at 60 M.P.H. with his car loaded with girls and more girls. Mary Jane Vick is still working in a grocery store trying to earn enough money to get married. Keep up the good work, Vicky. Eugene Clara has stepped right into his dad's shoes and is working at the mill. As it has been quite a while since we started our trip, we find ourselves looking for a place to eat, What a coincidence! We are right in front of the Surprise Cafe where we see Beverly Nelson who has advanced from waitress to cashier. Congratulations, Bev. And now it is time to board our ship and take a spin down highway No. 2 where we see Kenny Hoefner merrily riding along by himself. No, he's not by himself! We can barely see Carol Menehan's head sticking up. So after seeing all of our friends in Libby, we take off to visit Boulder where Norma Hafferman is located. Don't get the wrong idea. She's not a patient but a psychiatrist. Now let's take a quick trip to Dillon where Shirley Kins is studying like mad to be a big businessman's secretary. While we're in Montana we may as well visit all our friends in Missoula. So, off we go to find Del Stor- dock and Jimmy Davison studying studiously over their books. Before we leave let's go out to the ath- letic field where we see Paul Beccari who is now a big hero, We hear that Paul is going to the Olympics this year. Is that true, Paul? From here we go to Big Sandy, Montana, where we find Marilyn McArthur happily married and she now has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, herds of horses. She likes horses, From here we set our controls for Washington D.C. where Lois LeDuc is the first woman president of the United States. Fern Cann is her Secretary of State. Keep up the good work, Fern and Lois. As we cruise over New York City, we spot Donna Gompf rushing to work. She is now employed at Macy's Department Store where she specializes in ladies' lingerie. Now let's take a quick spin to Minneapolis where Marvel Leckrone and Shirley Homann are training to be stewardesses, From here we go to Minnesola State where Shirley Swenson is busily drawing pictures of all her instructors. fcontinuedj Sponsored by FASHION CLEANERS

Wwe ' X EO Sb? I f' '4 When the first week in September of 1948 arrived, we, the Class of '52, marched into the assembly and found our traditional seats on the south side of the room. Eagerly we awaited the following Friday as it was the day the sophomores had chosen to initiate us. After surviving this harrowing ordeal, we attended the mixer given in our honor. The next momentous event in our high school career was the election of class officers. Don Currie was elected President, Norman Mertel, Vice President: and Darleen Delzer, Secretary-Treasurer. Dolly Ur- dahl and Paul Beccari were our freshmen representatives to Student Council. Mrs. John Price and Mr. Kenneth Card were our class advisors. Two girls, Joanne Zimmerman and Shirley Homann, were elec- ted to represent us in Peptomiss. Then Hi-Jinx time approached. Choosing Joan Edstrom as our candidate for the queen contest, we fresh- men broke a record by having Joan crowned queen. With the coming of football season our class prepared for the annual Homecoming. Dolly Urdahl was chosen as a princess from our class, We closed our year's activities with the annual St, Patrick's Dance given for the sophomores. In the following fall we, feeling a little more confident in our home than in the previous year, were en- rolled in our second year of high school, now we were the initiators. During the first class meeting we chose the following leaders to guide us on our way: Paul Beccari, president, Eugene Engle, vice-presi- dentg Dolly Urdahl, secretaryg and Lloyd Hamlin, treasurer, Student Council members were Del Stor- dock and Geraldine Munsel.

For homecoming three girls from our class were elected candidates, Dolly Urdahl, Mary Vick and Fern Canng of these three Fern was crowned queen, ' As Hi-Jinx time arrived again, Dolly Urdahl was chosen candidate for the queen contest. Again our luck held and Dolly was crowned queen. Mary Vick and Del Stordock were elected as cheerleaders.

Once again we prepared for Hi-Jinx, choosing Darleen Delzer as our queen candidate. For the third time we were victorious, setting a record of winning the queen contest for three consecutive years. On May 1 of this year the Memorial Gym was beautifully decorated for the theme of Chinese Honey- moon for the annual Junior Prom.
