PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OP LODGE GRASS HIGH SCHOOL EDITOR------------------PATSY FITZGERALD ASSISTANT EDITOR--------------------JOYCE LANDON BUSINESS MANAGER--------------------PAULA FARMAN ADVISOR-------------- -MRS. BARBARA RYAN The Eagle is the bird of highest flight. Gold is the most precious of metals. The symbol Golden Eagle is synonymous with the highest and best achievements as set forth by the ideals of our Lodge Grass High School students sincl tsflclisrs • In the days when the Indians held their great tribal meetings they believed the eagle to be the bird which carried their prayers to the great spirit above. Therefore, our team and annual names are linked together by close bonds. 1 DEDtCATTOfl We the Senior class of 1956 do dedicate this annual to our parents, who we feel are indirectly responsible for our achievements. They have nurtured us through all of our short comings, and have stood by us in our defeats and errors. They have shared with us our triumphs and successes. It is largely through their sacrifices that we are now graduating from this high school. With pride and with great pleasure, we dedicate the 1956 edition of the Golden Eagle to Our Parents . 2 ADmrnrrruATTon 3 SUPERINTENDENT E.L. MOYER B.A. and B.E. degrees from the University of Washington. M.E. degree from the Montana otate University. Mr. Moyer is superintendent of Lodge Grass High School and is Senior Class sponsor. SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE I am proua of the opportunities given in our Lodge Grass Scnool system. For tne industrious students, we provide almost unbelievable possibilities in the field of books, learning, music, athletics, club work, and extra-curricular activities. Our teachers are specialists In their chosen fields, and stand ready to nelp any youngsters wno seek learning. Let's not be like tne man who sat upon tne bank of a river, waiting for it to run ory, so tnat ne could cross without effort. While you tarry, lessons anu activities are waiting for your coming with offers of awards. A loafer is always a grumbler. He broods upon his difficulties until like a well fed cub, he becomes a great bear. Let's not think we will go to work next week, but bring our thoughts to action. Time is slipping gently away, and soon you will be but a memory, and believe me you will regret you did not put forth your best efforts when tne opportunity was in your grasp. Our ly£6 graduates leave with our best wishes, and we nope we in our Lodge Grass scnool nave left our imprint on their memories in the future and have been helpful in guiding them to tne better things in life. 4 School Board Murray Brown; Harry Wilson; Ralph Knight, clerk; Henry Esp, Sr. Not pictured: Arils Whiteman and Burton Chandler, chairman Student Council Seated, left to right; Donnie Weibert, Bob Shaw, Doyle Taber, Larry Curry, Kenneth Liming, David Roll, Deanna Cooley, Marion Miller, Elaine Cook, Clara Chandler.

Members of the sophomore clan intiated them in a fitting manner. By 1953 the group, twenty seven in number, had advanced in wisdom and maturity. They had charge of the sweat teepee for the freshmen. They staged the 1st high school rodeo in this area. In 1954, the braves and maidens were called juniors. There were twenty four. They made medicine and produced the play You Can’t Kiss Caroline as well as having charge of the Junior Prom in which they used a Western-Cowboy theme. Ry 1955 the group, twenty one in all, were tried and trained. Under the direction of Mrs. Ryan, they put on the play Hangman's Noose which had a more pretentious plot. As seniors they shared responsibilities as chiefs in many nigh school activities. They were the honored quests of the juniors at the Prom and Banquet. Finally one evening in May they were graduated in a very happy and yet sad ceremoney.

The office workers work in the high school and grade school offices, doing whatever is to be done. such as typing, mimeographing office material, running errands, and many other necessary tasks. Some of these tasks provide experience which may aid the student when he or she leaves high school. STUDENT TEACHERS Among the various helpers in the school, there are the student teachers. The student receives one credit for teaching a iuIL period each day. The work of the student teacher is to assist the teacher in correcting papers, giving some students special help and taking care of some classes of their own. This job is one of choice and its purpose is to show the high school students a little about teaching besides being help to the regular teacher.

The carnival was put on to raise money to help pay for the new uniforms, which were purchased last year. In the gym itself there was bingo only; the rest of the concessions were scattered throughout the downstairs grade rooms. Some of them were: dart throw, balloon shave, baseball throw, penny and nickle toss. In the corner of one room Swami Parks told fortunes in his best gypsy manner. Food was served all evening in the lunchroom. At 11:00 o'clock everything stopped for the crowning of the queen, who won her crown by the sale of tickets and donations of money. The queen was Virginia Nichols, sophomore selection. Her attendants were Patsy Fitzgerald, senior; Betty Pilkington, Junior; and Bertha Medicine Crow, freshman. After the crowiing of the queen, a queen's cake was won by Mr. Steve Walker. Several other cakes went as door prizes. Bob Shaw, band president, took care of the drawing. The carnival ended in a flurry of excitement as Mr. Hoffman auctioned off the remaining bingo prizes and everything else the wasn't nailed down. 46 Senior Play The play takes place In the living room-library in the home of Caroline Keating, on the outskirts of a New England town.

UYOLft HflRDTB HEBTDftD BfLLTOG? FOLLOW US ON A SHOPPING SPREE Every year toward the middle of the school term the students begin getting restless. The Senior Class decided that they needed a vacation; so, after going through the proper administrative channels, they proceeded on a short vacation. Of course as soon as the Seniors were excused from school, they began rummaging through the local establishments. The first classmates we noticed were Bob and Jim, the class live wires, who appeared to be giving some hot advice to Darlene Starina at the R.E.A. Deanna and Joyce were doing some shopping at the JOHNSTON BROTHERS LUMBER CO. Continuing on down the street we saw Charles and Dennis purchasing seed at the SHERIDAN FLOURING MILLS. Upon crossing the railroad track we saw that Dennis and Charles had finished their seed buying, and were leaving with Patty and Velma in the wrecker from MOORES GARAGE. Seems as if every one was going some place, as next we noticed Paula, Patsy, and Agnes buying gas at ANDY'S SERVICE STATION. Johnny and Hank must have planned on going into the oil business. They were seen on the truck with Calvin as he was loading it to make a delivery at the FARMERS UNION. Hale and Willard must have felt extra generous, as we found them treating Patsy and Margaret to a coke at the SNACK BAR. Lilian, Clara Dawn, and Paula were found in the LODGE GRASS ELECTRIC AND SUPPLY looking for electrical appliances fbr their future homes. Next, we came across Dorothy and Shirley shopping for new clothes at PING'S. Having ransacked most of the Lodge Grass places of business, the class decided to tour the city of Hardin. Before leaving town we all had to go to GEORGES FOOD MART to have individual pictures taken for our passports to Hardin. Upon ariving in Hardin, the first stop was at the HARDIN TRIBUNE HERALD office where we informed them of our activities, and asked them to take pictures of our escapades in Hardin. It was decided by unanimous decision that everyone would go shopping for clothes for the next few hours. Clara Dawn went to the FEDERATED STORE, where she bought a sweater. WOODWARDS was the next shop we visited. Clara Dawn anc Elaine bought 3carves there. Clara Dawn, Velma, and Patty spent quite a while shopping in LUDRICK'S CLOTHING STORE. Willard bought a jacket in ROY CHAMBERS. Clara Dawn went to BYLUNDS JEWELRY STORE to have her watch repaired. Agnes went to the HARDIN PHOTO SHOP to have her picture taken. Deciding that they should have some clothes cleaned, Billy and Willard went to FISCHBACK'S CLEANERS. Velma thought that she needed some music, so she bought herself a radio at GAMBLE'S. Patty Posed with a sweater at the VAUGHN RAGSDALE STORE, but decided to buy a pair of gloves instead. Elaine and Clara Dawn bought some magazines at the REXALL DRUG STORE. Hale felt the need for some nourishment, so he dropped Into RICKER'S DRUG and bought himself a candy bar. Elaine and Clara Dawn tried out the soft furniture at the SOLAZZI'S FURNITURE STORE. Margaret and Agnes wanted to look at the new cars, so they went to the TRIANGLE MOTOR COMPANY. Lilian, Billy, Willard and Hale stopped into the lobby of the BECKER HOTEL AND BAR to rest before we left for Sheridan. Patty, Clara Dawn and Velma were hungry sc they went to BIRD'S DAIRY to have a milk shake. Deanna and Paula were also hungry so they stopped in the STOCKMAN CAFE to have something to eat. We looked into many other shops, but as they were busy we didn't go in. After a short deliberation, we hopped onto the first freight to Sheridan. As no one had much money left, we decided to rob the banks. When Lilian, Dennis and Agnes got to the FIRST NATIONAL BANK of Sheridan, the bank was so generous in their monetary gift that the kids didn't have to commit the robbery THE BANK OF COMMERCE was also very generous in giving a monetary contribution to Dennis, Joyce and Paula. With extra funds in our pockets, we decided that a shopping tour was in order. Paula tried on a cute two piece outfit at MC DONALDS. Furniture was the primary interest of Agnes and Margaret as they rambled through MOSSHOLDERS FURNITURE STORE. Dennis looked at the tractors at the SHERIDAN COMMERCIAL CO. Paula shopped for a record album in BERDON'S. Dennis really got around, he went to the PIONEER SPORTING GOODS STORE to buy a belt after he finished looking at tractors. Agnes went shopping for clothes at the VAUGHN RAGSDALE STORE. Dennis and Jim were hungry, so they had a sandwich at the WESTERN HOTEL AND COFFEE SHOP. Dorothy decided that she wanted a new leather purse, so she went to the MODERN SHOE SHOP, where she selected one. Charles and Jim went to ROCHFORD'S STUDIO to have their pictures taken. About this time Dennis decided that he wanted to write a letter. TUCKER'S STATIONERY was the place he selected to buy his stationery. As usual Deanna, Joyce and Lilian were hungry. They stopped at the CLASS CAFE for a bite to eat. Margaret wanted a pair of shoes mended, so she took them to DAN'S NEW METHOD. Agnes Joined Margaret, and they looked at the leather wear at ERNST'S SADDLE SHOP. Dorothy had extra funds left, so she bought a car and 56 then went to ED'S STANDARD SERVICE to get some gas and extra tires. After returning from getting these things, she went to the CITY CLEANING AND DYING CO. to get her coat dyed. Elaine went to the CAPITOL DRUG to buy a camera. While Paula, Shirley, Dorothy, Lilian and Joyce were looking at music in DAVIS'S MUSIC STORE a policeman came in. He asked the girls if they knew anything of the kids who had hopped a freight into Sheridan. Of course the girls had to snicker, so the policeman began questioning them. When the smoke cleared away, the policeman took them to the city jail and locked them up. Mrs Ryan was good enough to bail the girls out so their stay in the jail was only terap exciteraent, the class all went to the LOTUS CAFE for supper. Everyone willingly returned to school the next day, after a very happy and eventful vacation.
