Lodge Grass High School - Golden Eagle Yearbook (Lodge Grass, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 100 of the 1954 volume:

DecUcatc ut The senior class of 1954 wishes to dedicate this annual to the late Roy Mason, janitor, who diligently spent long hours making the school and grounds so beautiful. Known and loved by all, he was always ready to help us with all our troubles, large or small. No problem was too minor or difficult for him. He solved them all. It is with humility and pride that we, the seniors of 1954, dedicate this book to our beloved friend, Roy Mason. £uji iittte tcCe tt 'd t77ted4eiye You have a lifetime job—one from which you can never be fired. Neither can you leave it entirely, although you may control the rate of work and the results obtained. The job is education and the product is you. Learning never ceases as long as your mind is functioning. It is the amount and the kind of learning which determines the person that you are. Throughout the grade and high school years of your life you are given the tools for the job of learning and guided in the use of them by teachers and parents. At this time I would like to leave the thought with you that, regardless of how little or how well you have learned up to this point, it is within your power to attain the goals you seek. Education may be obtained in school or through experience. Maximum results occur when both are used. Through the development and use of your mind come your achievements in life. May the product of your education be worthy of a master craftsman. 6 44 In the fall of 1950 there were twenty-five of us roustabouts who gathered under the Big Top. The foreman was Gary Curry as President and his straw bosses were Wesley Wagenaar as Vice President, Roberta Morrison—Secretary-Treasurer, and Barbara Greenough--Student Council Representative. We all survived our parade to the L and provided many laughs and thrills at Kangaroo Court for the other classes. We ended our first big season with a picnic to Story, Wyoming, and everyone attended a show in Sheridan. Our lion-tamer for the year was Mrs. Alina Stevenson. We started our second season with a gain of four clowns: Sabra Green, Evelyn Hogan, Eva Lee Yellowtail, and Hugh Blacksmith. Our Circus Bosses were Blanche Fowler--President; Clara Ann Shaw—Vice President, Mary Ann Nayes--Secretary-Treasurer, and Wes Wagenaar—Student Council Representative. We enjoyed marching the freshmen to the L and initiating them. We didn't make any profits this year, because of the lack of shows. Our tail-twister was Mr. Carl Orr. We went to the Dayton Kane, and put on our biggest show of the year there, with a picnic. We opened our eleventh season in the Big Show with the play, The Inner Willy, featuring Leroy Barnes, our number one clown, playing the part of the Inner Willy. This year was full of business for us, and we were very fortunate to have Rosalie Davis, our fat lady back, who left us the previous season. Ray Bear, Fred Speicer, and Bert Bowman joined us, too. The manager was Christine Lynde--President, with her helpers Wes Wagenaar—Vice President; Roberta Morrison--Secretary-Treasurer, and Clara Ann Shaw—Student Council Representative. We were backed by Mr. A1 Thomas. Our banquet was Aloha Oe, and the prom was Moonlight and Roses. Both shows proved to be the best of the season. Our picnic was at Tongue River Canyon, where we visited the caves, and then attended the show at Sheridan. The last season together opened with Barbara Greenough as President; Roberta Morrison—Vice President; Clara Ann Shaw--Secretary-Treasurer, and Mary Ann Nayes--Student Council Representative. We had the opportunity of publishing the Little Horn Overflow, and the Golden Eagle Annual. Barbara Greenough is editor of our paper, and Wes Wagenaar is annual editor. Hardin Photo took our portraits. Our next big show is slated for the spring, and we will put on a good play. Mr. Swinland and Mr. Walz are the sponsors of this year's show. The final show for the year will be the graduation in the spring. ScAccC faculty THE LODGE GRASS HIGH SCHOOL FACULTY Front row: Mr. Hausenmueller, Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Walz, Mr. Westcott, Mr. Nees.

The Prom, which began with the grand march was held in the High School Gym. The theme was Tulip Time in Holland. The gym was decorated with yellow and blue crepe paper. The main attraction was the large windmill with constantly rotating blades, built in front of the stage, which served as a punch stand. Dutch girl and boy figurines further carried out the Dutch theme. Duke Downey's Orchestra from Sheridan, Wyoming, furnished the music.

Thou shalt not take the names of thy teachers in vain. They might overhear thee. 2. Thou shalt not chew more than one stick of gum at a time, while thou art in the presence of thy overseers, for they might make thee conspicuous by thy absence. 3. Thou shalt not talk without permission in the assembly, lest thou be told to move thyself across the hall. 4. Thou shalt not run up the stairs lest thou be made to go back down and try it over again, thus making thyself late for lunch. 5. Thou shalt not draw pictures in thy books if thou wouldst not pay a large sum for it at the end of the year. 6. Thou shalt not walk to school with thy neighbor's sweetheart. It might leave sad memories. 7. Thou shalt not be tardy too often. Mr. Swinland likest not the daily waste of excuse blanks which thou incurrest. 8. Thou shalt not spend all thy time talking in the halls lest the knowledge stored therein be distrubed by thy presence. 9. Thou shalt not grumble about thy low grades, in the presence of others, for thy fellow-sufferers cannot comfort thee. 10. Thou shalt not pursue thy books too diligently. Thy instructor might fail to call on thee in class and thy studying would be in vain. Hum U 1919 Edith Cammock Warrurick Edythe Benbrooks Genevieve Petzoldt 1920 Elva M.
