2 The Park County Rangers of Livingston ended the season in a blaze of glory by copping the coveted Big Ten Class AA Conference Championship. The Rangers, titled the Golden Boys by many observers, ended the season with a record of 13-5, along with three other victories garnered in non-conference play. Two of these wins were taken at the Christmas tournament at Butte where Park walked off with the championship. Coach Gene Bourdet, starting with a nucleus of only three veterans, fielded one of' the finest teams to appear before Livingston fans. The Rangers were the only team to win over each of their opponents at least once. The team was led in both rebounding and scoring by their stellar forward, Gary Pearson, and for these two feats, he was selected as an all-state forward, second only to Danny Balko of Great Falls in votes. jack Dunlap, voted captain of the Rangers by his teammates, was selected for honorable mention. juni-or Bill Schustrom was noted for his fine clutch playing. In two games he literally won the game for the Rangers with last second scores. Curt Sauber, although handicapped by injuries a great part of the season, was a stellar player at the end of the season, and was the outstanding Park player in the tournament. Sophomore Bob Vandervort and Junior Dennis Syvertson were out- standing defensive players throughout the year. Bob White, junior, was the play-maker on the team this year and is a flashy ball-handler. Charles Harris, junior, proved to be Park's greatest bench asset throughout the season. Bill Harris, Ryan Swan, and Doug Egeland, newcomers to the team this year, came through with timely performances and gained valuable experience for the 1956-57 season. Coach Gene Bourdet, who left the school in April to become backfield coach at Mon- tana State College, received the Associated Press's nomination for Coach of the Year. His was an award well deserved, as his Ranger team was pre-season picked well down in the Big 10. Congratulations for a job well done! i -09 K' L 7 3 Vt, K tx :E I k G' . , ,... .. Q. .

LETTERMAN 'S CLUB In the fall we find members of the Letterman's Club tearing up the turf on the football field. The roar of the river near the field can be heard amidst the roar of the crowd yelling for the Rangers. As the seasons change, basketball season appears and the river becomes filled with ice. Winter fades into spring and the track team begins gruelling workouts. Like the river, the Letterman's Club is constantly on the move throughout the year. iw First row: David Gillispe, Curt Sauber, john Price. jack Dunlap, Terry Ulrich, Gary Pearson, Bill Schustrom, Bill Nevin, Philip Robinson, Bob Iott.
