CLASS WILL Hear Yet We the class of 1947 having accomplished many things in the face of collosal handicaps, being of sound body and mind, having absolute control of our senses, and not acting under the influence of Mr. E. J. Albrecht or intoxicating liquor, do hereby make and publish our last will and testament. To the faculty: We bequeath the unhappy prospect of manag- ing this school without the Honorable Seniors' assistance. To the Juniors: We bequeath to you our wisdom and intellec- tual knowledge of the world and hope that they will profit by this knowledge. We also give them the duty of putting out the school paper very faithfully every fourth week. And we were never late. To the Sophomores: We bequeath the endurance, ability and patience it takes to become seniors. To the Freshmen: We will leave our happy riatures and kind- heartedness so they won't be so hard on the Freshies next year. We, the Seniors, bequeath the following things to the remaining miserable students and hope they will follow our straight and narrow ways. Virginia: Wills her dummy-pages to the next unfortunate person who becomes editor and hopes they have as much trouble as she did. Helen: Wills her flirting ability with the boys to Doris, who we all know doesn't exactly need it. Lorraine: Leaves her knowledge of the saxaphone and violin to Joseph Clawson, who could profit by It. Dick: Bequeaths his broad shoulders and winning smile to Alex, hoping that he will make good use of them. He also wills his ability to insult people to anyone who can back his insult. Since Ruthie Hager requested that some Senior will their good figure to her-Clara has been chosen and she warns Ruthie not to eat candy, as she, Clara, has done every noon. Veta: Wills all her used gum to Lucille Nichols, which she will be able to find under a desk in every class room. Ralph: Leaves his renowned ability of making cars to any under classman, who may want the Job. Ramona: Wills her blue Monday mornings to Evagene knowing that If she has many more she won't live to be a senior. Minnie-Ellen: Wills her ability to make the class be silent when she is talking, to Mr. Grieger. Lydia: Wills her trips South of the Border to Donna Kennedy, who doesn't need any more.

s T R I L OP F 0 IT R HINTS Eighteen plenty smart papooses came to Big Wigwam on top of hill four winters ago. We were burned at the stake, scalped, and tortured by the tribe who blazed trail before us. When the council fire3 burned, Helen Holley was named Big Chief, Reuben Weigand was scribe and George Morton was chief council man. Our Medicine Man who helped chase away bad spirits, was Mrs. Sands. Only twelve youths and meercoddy returned our Sophomore year. Veta Barrett, was chosen Big Chief, Clara Harris chief council man, and Virginia Hamilton scribe. Mr. McDougall was selected Medicine Man. That year we delighted in scalping and burning the Freshmen at the stake. Those youths and meercoddy that had left us were Audrey Williams, Juanita Fenton, John Pattyn, Reuben Weigand and Beverly Brookins. Ramona Triplett left to attend school at the Polytechnic, at Billings. Ramona was seen to be among the assembled warriors after third winters passing. George Morton left us for Columbus, Montana. A new face was also among us, Dick Godfrey from Vale, South Dakota. All warriors took part in the festivities of the Band and the Glee Club.

R CLASS P 0 P H E C Y WE the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Seven now look 10 years ahead to see where and how each of our former class members are. First, we look in on a beautiful studio in New York City. Here we see Miss Helen Holley conducting her classes in Trumpet playing, and as I chatted with Helen I discovered that she is to conduct her first orchestra concert May 22, 1957. Then as I go on down to the business part of the city I paused at a huge building, I enter, go up a few flights, and there is a familiar name on the door: Mr. Ralph Forman, Chief Engineer, Snodgrass, Snodgrass and Doofaddle Co. So of course, I stopped and talked with Ralph for a while and from him I learned that he and Helen planned to be married soon. As I walked on down the street a beautiful exclusive Clare Salon caught my eye so I crossed over and went in. Yes, I was right. Miss Lydia Miller and Clara Harris were there busily giving facials and hair styles. While I talked I too had a facial, and I must say, they did a wonderful job. Then I went back to my apartment and began reading the evening Society News. An article on the front page caught my eye, Miss Veta Barrett noted artist is leaving today for a tour around the world.n Miss Virginia Hamilton well-known news reporter is to accompany Miss Barrett on her travel. As I looked through the paper I saw where Miss Lorraine Berg-quist, violinist, is off on a tour of the United States. Gee, she really gets around. I guess she will be going on a tour around the world pretty soon. I also noticed in the paper that Senator Dick Godfrey, of Montana, is having a big battle with a Wyoming senator over some bill. It is hard to believe that Dick is a senator, but stranger things have at times taken place! Oh, I almost forgot Minnie-Ellen Whiteman, who has a job in Alaska, working for a large construction company. She is a private secretary. Now, of course, there is only one member left, and that is myself, Ramona Triplett. I am employed as Airline Hostess on around-the-world trips, and as I had this two-weeks vacation, I decided to look up my class,a pleasant task. From all reports, the good old class of 1947 did a fairly good job in establishing themselves in their chosen lines of work.
