Printed by THE MILLS COMPANY Sheridan, Wyoming Page 3 . ✓ - FOREWORD The purpose of this Rustler, 1940, is to present a record of the school life of this year. It is hoped that in the years to come it will help to bring back memories of the happy hours spent at R. H. S. DEDICATION The classes of 1940 and 1941 take pleasure in dedicating this RUSTLER of 1940 to the Teachers, past and present, whose intellectual honesty, able leadership, and genuine manhood and womanhood have inspired so many to the highest ideals of service, learning, and gentility.

The school board has to the best of its ability, tried to achieve this setup in the Ranchester High School. The school board also wishes to extend greetings to all the other pupils in the high school and hope that in the near future they will have the opportunity to congratulate each one in the same manner as they now congratulate the Class of ’40.

It is not enough to complete our task with the three R’s, reading, writing and arithmetic, but we must install the technics of communication most needed by a good citizen. For democracy re- quires skilled citizens in cooperative living—working, playing, plan- ning, and making decisions, not simply as obedient followers but as free, self controlled responsible beings. More important is the spirit of democracy centered in deep re- spect for the dignity and worth of every man. This spirit is developed by cultivating consideration and esteem for each individual. It is not easy; it is not spectacular nor dramatic. It will be gained only by giving new purpose and direction to the oft repeated acts of the school day. Page 6 U. J. Korhonen, Supt.

Of these fourteen Freshmen, three dropped out of school for elsewhere, and one was added. Those that dropped were Lee Daniels, Margaret Stevie, and Jack Anderson. During the Sophomore year, Jake Hauf began the school year here, but dropped before the year was ended. In the Junior year, Bob Graham and Bonnie Berry started to school. Faye Schilling, who had missed the preceding year, again started school in the Junior class. Bonnie Berry did not return to R. H. S. for her Senior year. Graduating from Ranchester High School in 1940 are twelve Seniors. Of this group only three, Jean Black, Helen Cable, and Estella Fackenthall started the first grade together in the fall of 1927. CLASS WILL SENIOR WILL: We, the Senior Class of Ranchester High School, City of Ran- chester, County of Sheridan, State of Wyoming, being intellectually sound and thoroughly reminiscent of the past, after twelve years of hard study, hereby publish and declare this to be our last will and testament. ARTICLE I To Ranchester High School we leave the honor of having thor- oughly educated such an ambitious and intellectual Senior Class as ours. ARTICLE II To the faculty we leave the memory of our cheery presence, our bright smiles and our enduring courage in the face of great difficulties. ARTICLE III To the Juniors we bequeath the typing room so that they may carry on the practices we did so well?? ARTICLE IV To the Sophomores we bequeath our ability to study and talk the teachers out of tests. ARTICLE V To the Freshmen we bequeath the 7th and 8th grade room for future dancing classes.

(Continued on page 60) Page 13 r r CLASS PROPHECY One sunny morning in 1950 we were taking a long trip through the U. S. and Mexico. Our first stop was at a tiny filling station on the outskirts of Casper. It was a fine looking building and there were several fair-haired children playing in the yard. Imagine our surprise when Fred Hauf came out to service our car. He had been married for several years, he said, and was now doing a profitable business. Next we decided to visit a bird farm of which we had heard so much. Here, much to our amazement, we encountered another of our old schoolmates, Estella Fackenthall. She was now happily married to a boy whom she had known since high school days and they owned a new black car. In Lincoln, Nebraska, we chanced to visit a well-known school of music, where we learned that Helen Cable was giving voice lessons. At a museum of archeology we found another of our classmates—Nellie Strait. Miss Strait was working on the problem that has baffled scientists for ages—the evolution of man. Stopping at New Orleans we were astonished to learn that Faye Schilling was leading an orchestra in one of the well-known nite clubs. Leonard was acting as bouncer. We heard that Bette Doyle was now owner of a huge cattle ranch in Texas. Going to visit her we found that she was a prosperous business woman with a string of good looking cowboys at her beck and call. While traveling across Old Mexico we came upon another of the 1940 graduates—Pearl Newlon. Pearl was busily engaged in picking the spikes from cactus plants to sell to tourists as souvenirs. Of course we bought some. Pearl told us that her sister, Opal Newlon, now married, was in Mexico City running a restaurant. We stopped there and found the food wonderful and Opal’s husband likewise. On our return trip through California we were very pleased to find Robert Graham. Bob was now forestry inspector for the State of California. We were also happy to renew our acquaintance with his lovely wife, whom we had known at Ranchester. Traveling on we found Doolu Johnston in Reno getting another divorce— her fifth. She told us that she would seriously advise against matrimony. She was now a notorious divorce lawyer herself. Our next stop was in Minneapolis, the home of Jean’s fiance. I, Alice Jean Black, had been working in a newspaper office but will be married in June. After leaving Jean in Minneapolis, I, Carrie Lee Jester, made the return trip to Chicago where I will continue my position as secretary until August. Then, true to the tradition of secretaries, I am to marry my boss. Thinking back on our trip, we are sure that the Class of ’40 has fared very well. We were glad to have seen them all once again.

We have all enjoyed our Junior year immensely. We entertained the Seniors and the faculty at a banquet given in honor of the Seniors; the theme of decorating was candle light. Thomas Doyle was toastmaster, Muriel Dierks gave the welcome, Faye Schilling the response, and Kathryne Weber, Mary Hood, and Anna Kukuchka gave the candle ceremony. After the banquet the prom was held, and the guests arrived and dancing was the diversion of the evening. We gave several candy sales, and an Old Time Dance which was well attended. All of the Juniors were very active in school activ- ities. The Junior Class did not give a play this year. We hope we can show our skill of acting next year. ■ Page 19 ZZZZZZZZZZ2Z7Z77Z7ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZi:ZZ.ZZZZrniZZZZL:ZZZZZr SCHOOL HONOR ROLL During the year 1937 the “Master Engravers” presented the R. H. S. with a scroll for the honor roll. This honor roll is two-fold in nature in that each year two names are added. One is for the pupil who has the highest scholastic standing for the four years’ work, while the other is for the pupil who is outstanding for his all-round school activity and attitude. This year an unusual circumstance makes it necessary for two scholarship keys to be given. The names upon the honor roll for the past four years are: Anne Kuzma 1937 Paul Paustian Charlotte Johnston 1938 Evan Dierks Edythe Ann Kuzma 1939 Wilbur Jester Helen 1940 Ruth Johnston Carrie Lee Jester Alice Jean Black “It is the height of absurdity to sow little but weeds in the first half of one’s lifetime and expect to harvest a valuable crop in the second half.”—Percy H. Johnston.

The Freshmen and Sophomores gave a very satisfactory per- formance in a farce comedy in three acts, called “The Henpecked Husband.” It was a great success. During the year the Sophomore Class has studied Commercial Mathematics, World History, Latin I, English, and some of the class took up Bookkeeping. The Sophomores gave a party for the rest of the high school the first of the school year, at which all enjoyed themselves. The first of March, Betty Alley dropped and returned to Dayton High School, and June Sexton entered from Sheridan High School. The Class of ’42 is looking forward to returning to Ranchester High School next year as Juniors. Page 23 SENIOR CLASS DAY During the third week of April, the Senior Class left Ranchester at 6:00 A. M. to go on their “Sneak Day” to Billings, Montana. On the trip they stopped at Custer Battlefield to see the historical monu- ments and to take pictures. Arriving in Billings about 9:30 A. M., they saw the following places of interest: The Meadowgold Dairy, the Billings Airport, the Polytechnic, the Museum, the Radio Station, and the Billings Busi- ness College. They ate lunch in the Billings Park and spent some time in the business section of Billings. They returned to Ranchester about eight o’clock. Mr. Korhonen went along as sponsor. All en- joyed themselves very much. PEPPER Fritz: “Ah, have a heart.” ???: “I have, and you have been looking for it long enough.” Severance: “It doesn’t pay to take a girl skating.” Hallowell: “Pray, my lad, why not?” Severance: “Because they always get sore in the end.” “Economy makes happy homes and sound nations.

All day long they were “tortured,” but in the evening they were guests at a weiner roast in the park. On November 17th, the Freshmen and Sophomores gave a school party. They had a scavenger hunt, games, and dance, and served refreshments. In February they, along with the Sophomores, took part in the play, “The Henpecked Husband.” This play was one of the best given the entire school year. We hope that the same Freshman Class will return to Ranchester High School as Sophomores again this coming school year. Page 27 . 7777777TT7?Tr777T7rrrrr77?sr'.

SYNOPSIS OF ACTS The entire action of the play takes place in the living room of the home of Judge Adam Apple, in Meadowbrook, Pennsylvania. Act 1—An afternoon in June. Act 2—That evening. Act 3—The following afternoon. SYNOPSIS OF PLAY Judge Adam Apple, known as “the Old Crab ' wisely dispenses justice in the courtroom but unwisely dispenses with it at home. “Plain man of the people” though he claims to be, he simply makes himself ridiculous by his pompous man- ner and his tantrums. His big moment of the first act comes when his son Jonathan comes home from the university with a wife. The fat is in the fire. The judge sets off for Philadelphia at once to have the marriage annulled. Delicious, his older daughter, has been forbidden to go with Paul, one of the “ritzy” Townsends. In fact, the judge has forbidden his entire family to have anything to do with any of the Townsends. In the second act, the biggest thrill comes when the judge returns unex- pectedly, having missed his train, to find the whole Townsend family in his living room. The judge blows up, but Mrs. Townsend is a royal match for him.

At the end of the first six weeks Joyce Ralph and James Fleming moved away. In March, Barbara Alley moved also, and James Sexton entered as an eighth grade pupil. In December the seventh and eighth grades presented a one-act play, and several poems for the Ladies’ Bazaar. In February eight of the boys participated in the basket ball tournament at Buffalo. A party was given for the high school on April 17, and all en- joyed themselves. Page 29 SENIOR CLASS PLAY (Continued from page 28) The biggest laugh is in the third act. Henrietta, Adam's long suffering wife, still smarting from humiliation of his treatment of her friends, vows that she will pay him back in his own coin. The judge receives word that three of his most important relatives from England are to visit them. He gave the family instructions as to how to behave, what to wear, etc., during the visit. His big idea, for once in his life, is to make a good impression on someone else. But Henrietta gathers her family, the maid, and cook about her and gives them final instructions which are just opposite Adam’s. They all dress in the most outlandish clothes and when Adam's relatives arrive they are greeted with a barrage of bad manners from his ridiculous looking family. It is a bitter ex- perience for the judge, a bewildering one for the relatives, a victory for Henrietta and a most hilarious episode for the rest of the family. The cure is complete and Adam realizes that his life and the life of his family will be happier if he is more of a father and less of an Old Crab. SALT No Surprise! A certain young man??: “I've wanted to ask you a question for months.” Miss ???: “And I’ve had the answer ready for months and months.” Bob D. : ‘‘My razor doesn't cut at all.” Muriel: “Come, come—your beard is no tougher than that linoleum I cut with it yesterday.” Football enthusiast: “Wots all the megaphones for?” Chorus of men (lined up for a match): “Why, ain't you eard? The ref's 'ard o’ earing.” Ranchester Kid's Fables: “It takes a clever man to know whether the light in a girl's eyes is her Stop, Go, or Park light.” “One may live as a conqueror, a king, or a magistrate, but he must die as a man.”—Webster.

Honor roll members increased each period. Art work was pre- pared for competition in the County Fair. Contestants practiced for the County Spelling Contest held in Sheridan in early May. Primary and Intermediate rooms combined to present a Christ- mas Program and an April musicale, “The Land of Sometime.” Mrs. John Black played the piano and helped to arrange both events. Parties were given to celebrate Hallowe’en, Don Johnston’s birthday, Christmas, St. Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mothers’ Day. Sports became interesting with the spring marble tournament, the jumping rope contest, and practicing for the county track meet held at Big Horn on April 27. Goldie Kopisch accepted the position left open by the resignation of Prudence Switzer.

One of the main Social Studies projects worked out by the Sec- ond and Third Grades was a four-room doll house. All took great delight in furnishing it with furniture and other appropriate fur- nishings. Pre-school children of brothers and sisters now in school were entertained at several parties during the school year. Page 33 ta3?E7Z77Z?77 77?77:T? HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF RANC'HESTER In 1884, at the present site of Ranchester, two homesteads were filed upon. A. M. Leffler filed on the northern part and J. M. Bab- cock on the southern. Later this land was sold to the Lincoln Land Company, who founded the town of Ranchester in 1894. Most of the lots were brought by Samuel H. Hardin, who named the new settle- ment Ranch-chester, or Ranchester. A few years later the Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad was built from Sheridan through Ranchester and through to Billings. A tie camp was started, thus making business flourish for several years. Mr. J. A. Shumaker, recognizing an opportunity to establish a good trade, started the first general merchandise store in about 1904. The first Mayor of Ranchester was Mr. Flooke. In 1911 the town was incorporated and a light and water system installed. The records show that the first school building was a tar-paper shack, built in 1899, and located about the center of the present town. The next school building was on the corner of Main Street and Dayton Avenue. Until 1908 the school was in district No. 24; then it was organ- ized as District No. 33. The district is nine miles long and four miles wide. In 1913 a two-room cement building was erected and was in use until 1922, when it was remodeled for use as a gymnasium. In 1921 an election was held for the purpose of voting bonds which resulted in the present two-story, ten-room building. It was decided that a high school should be established, and accordingly in 1913 special subjects were offered in the ninth and tenth grades. In 1922 the school met the requirements for standard- ization. In 1924 courses were offered in the eleventh and twelfth grades and in May, 1926, the first class graduated from Ranchester High School.

THE THINKER Back of the beating hammer, By which the steel is wrought, Back of the workshop’s clamor The seeker will find the thought. The thought that is ever master Of iron and steam and steel. That rises above disaster And tramples it under heel. The drudge may fret and tinker Or labor with lusty blows, But back of him stands the thinker, The clear-eyed man who knows. Back of all stands the schemer, The thinker who drives things through; Back of the job—the dreamer Who is making the dream come true. —Berton Braley. Page 35 ONE O’CLOCK CHEMISTRY CLASS “Hey, Doolu, hand me that thistle tube, Carrie, come back here and taste this, ‘you boob’. Here, Bette, hand me that bottle, don’t spill it! A burn? Well here, take this soda to kill it. You drank some? Faye—run, get the bottle of glue, Some chalk, some soap, and some egg white will do. Nellie—-now what are you yelping about? Your finger’s in a bottle and you can’t get it out ? Jean, break the bottle, and run for the doctor— Faye, go catch Doolu—the excitement has shocked her. Open the window! Let in some air— Bette—watch Carrie—she’s pulling her hair.” (The madness of chemistry class never ceases— Six weeks more of this, and we’ll all be in pieces.) —Faye C. S. Page 36 llW ..V7 7 777-;TO BOYS’ BASKET BALL The high school boys (Rustlers) that reported for basket ball were two Freshmen, three Sophomores, one Junior, and two Seniors. From the standpoint of games won and lost the season was rather gloomy, but the boys showed marked improvement. Signs indicate that they will develop into a winning combination within several years and some promising material is coming up from the grades. The boys opened the season at the Clearmont tournament by winning one and losing two games. They won one conference game and lost nine. This year, two players, Fred Hauf and Robert Graham, graduate. In the district tournament held at Gillette, Feb- ruary 29 to March 2, the Rustlers won their first game against Hulett by a score of 17 to 19. In the second game Moorcroft defeated Ran- chester 24 to 6, and in the third game Dayton defeated Ranchester 21 to 11, which disqualified the team for the rest of the tournament. JUNIOR BASKET BALL The Junior High team has had a fine season and their record is very good. They have won six and lost five games. Their ball play- ing was fast and they played the full 24 minutes of every game. Though they received no trophy at the junior high tournament held at Buffalo, they were one of the outstanding teams there. Ran- chester High School has a right to be proud of them, and the people of this community can look forward to a fast high school basket ball team in a few years. GIRLS’ BASKET BALL The Wyoming High School Athletic Association, at their annual meeting in October, 1939, ruled out girls' competitive basket ball in high schools. The Ranchester girls had basket ball as Physical Edu- cation during the winter quarter, and they represented the V. C. Johnston Lumber Company as an independent team. In the inde- pendent men’s and girls’ tournament held at Ranchester March 13th and 14th, the girls’ team won first place. The girls on this team have managed to roll up an impressive record in three years of com- petition, winning 29 games out of 30, and having scored over 1,200 points to their opponents’ 441 points. They will miss the following girls on any future teams: C. Jester, H. Johnston, B. Doyle, and J. Black, as these girls graduate this year. There still remains a good nucleus for future teams with such stalwarts as M. Dierks, N. Johnston, B. Johnston, and K. Weber, to build around.

J. Korhonen, Mr. C. E. Alexander, Miss E. M. Brown This is the fifth annual to be published by the R. H. S. The work in connection with publishing an annual is extra cur- ricular in nature and is correlated with English. The aim of such an endeavor is to promote school spirit and to give the pupils partic- ipating a knowledge of how to assimilate and organize materials. It is also the aim of the Rustler staff to provide a pictorial record of the events of the school year and to make of this annual a reminder of the busy and happy hours spent within the walls of R. H. S.

E. Alexander The Tattler staff has again published six papers, or one for each six weeks’ period. With the aid of our new mimeograph the work has been simpli- fied. However, the typing classes had to learn to make stencils. This work was very interesting and came in connection with the regular typing work. Papers were traded with other schools such as Dayton, Clear- mont, and Big Horn. In this way we learned what was going on in the other schools and we also got ideas for the Tattler. “Sow an act, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny.” Page 48 Or c z -.k w a ai IT 13° J; TV «. n s ' Mw X ■ 'Kr?

This year it consists of all girls. There are three Seniors, one Junior, one Sophomore, one Freshman, and one Eighth grader on the Council. These people meet every other Friday. Their duties consist of setting dates for school activities, appointing committees, and deciding questions that pertain to student activities and welfare. The meetings are conducted in a regular and official manner. This gives the students educational practice in the art of parliamentary law. The four main officers are elected by vote of the entire six grades. The class representatives are chosen by each class separately. PEP CLUB During the basket ball season the boys and girls formed a Pep Club to bolster the teams to victory. The girls’ pep leaders were Bette Doyle and Carrie Lee Jester, and the boys’ pep leaders were Jack Hallo well and Don Bruce. Some of the favorite yells were, “Step On the Gas,” “Big Apple,” and “Hit ’em High!” Though the pep clubs were small they made plenty of noise and helped to encourage the teams and displayed good school spirit.

This past school year the Association was not very active, as most of the members were so scattered. At this meeting the Association voted to furnish the R. H. S. with a trophy case. A committee was appointed to take care of this matter, and today a beautiful case containing seven trophies may be seen in the Ranchester High School hall. ' The Third Annual Banquet was held in June as soon as the University spring quarter was closed. The Alumni of R. H. S. are an unusual group. In the fifteen years’ history of the school, eighty-eight have graduated from the institution, and at the present time all are still living. Page 53 A SCHOOL ACTIVITIES On September 18th the Freshmen were initiated. They started in the morning and continued until evening when they were given a party at the gym. They wore outlandish costumes and had to clean up the school yard. This was great entertainment for both the stu- dents and the Freshmen. On October 18th the Ranchester High School gave a card party. The games consisted of cribbage and bridge. Prizes were awarded to the people having the highest scores. The students enjoyed a party given by the Ninth and Tenth Grades on November 17th, in the form of a scavenger hunt. Refresh- ments were served at the close of the evening and a good time was had by all. February 2 marked another card party. The games played were pinochle, cribbage, and bridge. Refreshments were served and the party was a great success. On February 22nd a play entitled “The Henpecked Husband” was given by the Sophomore and Freshman classes. February 28th Mr. Abbe, a world news commentator, came out to Ranchester and gave a talk on war and world affairs. The Ranchester High School gave a Semi-Old Time Dance on March 15th. The high school orchestra furnished the music for a good crowd. On April 5th the Seniors gave their class play, “The Old Crab.” The gym was filled to capacity and the performance was acclaimed a success. The high school gave another Old Time Dance on April 12th. The Intel-mediate and Primary rooms gave a “Musicale” on April 26th. The two rooms are to be complimented on a lovely even- ing’s entertainment. The Junior and Senior Banquet and Prom were held on the even- ing of May 3rd. The Collegians furnished the music. Commencement on Thursday evening, May 16th, closed the school year. «■ “Hope is the mainspring of courage.” Page 54 SCHOOL ACTIVITIES (Continued from page 51) ORCHESTRA A small, impromptu four-piece orchestra took part, again, in the school activities this year. Helen Ruth Johnston and Jack Hallowell played the saxophones, Faye Schilling the piano, and Chester Sever- ance the drums. Later on in the school year Earl Kwallek joined the orchestra— to play the accordion and guitar. Although very little was done about the orchestra at the be- ginning of the year, during the last three months of school they played for several out-of-town dances, and many school functions. Helen Ruth Johnston and Faye Schilling will graduate this year, which will break up the orchestra of the past two years; however, Chester, Jack Keith and Earl will carry on—with hopes for a few additional members next year. NEWCASTLE TRIP On March 7, several members of the Public Speaking class—Faye Schilling, Alice Jean Black, Muriel Dierks and Helen Ruth Johnston— left for Newcastle to attend the Speech Tournament. At the last minute Carrie Lee Jester was unable to go, due to the illness of her mother. The four entered the interpretive reading division of prose and poetry. All received ratings of good, excellent, or superior. Besides the interpretive reading division, there were original oratory, extemporaneous speaking, and one-act plays. The schools participating were Buffalo, Gillette, Upton, Newcastle, and Ran- chester. This was the first course ever given in Public Speaking at Ran- chester, and all are looking forward to taking a more active part in the tournament next year. Mrs. Jack Dierks took the students and the instructor, Mr. Alex- ander, to Newcastle. On the return trip they drove through Sundance and visited the Devil’s Tower. It was snowing, but not enough to dampen their spirits. The trip was a success and everyone had a very enjoyable time. Page 55 NAME WHAT ST.

SENIOR CLASS OF 1940 Carrie Lee Jester Alice Jean Black HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF RANCHESTER (Continued from page 34) The school met the requirements, as set forth by the State De- partment in 1925, for a four-year accredited high school. In the fall of 1935 the school was changed from the eight-four plan to the six- six plan. The early residents who were leaders in this community felt the need for an educational foundation for their children and accordingly planned for better schools. This community can take just pride in the educational opportunities that it offers to its young men and women for obtaining training that will make them leaders in affairs of the future. “The rusty nail and the cob-webbed brain are alike in that both are dangerous at the point of contact.” Page 60 OUR FRIENDS Doctor Inglott Sheridan Dental Society Doctor Hammond Karen Nor cross Doctor Crane Brown Drug Doctor Hein Rose Garage Doctor Veach Bell and Bill Davis Doctor Stewart Mission Cafe Doctor Doctor Carey Duncan Lotus Theatre Doctor Allen o The Rustler Staff, in behalf of the student body, wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to those whose names appear in the Advertising Section.
