Printed by Star Publishing Company Sheridan, Wyoming EDITOR’S PREFACE The 1941 RUSTLER is presented with the hope that it will be a permanent word and picture record of the year 1940-41 of the Ranchester school. An attempt has been also made to delve into the past history of this institution. The effort has been directed to producing a memory book of R. H. S. The Junior and Senior classes of R. H. S. take pleasure in dedicating this RUSTLER of 1941 to the Alumni of this institution. To them such a book as this will bring back memories of their happy high school days. The Alumni Association, through their efforts in promoting increased interest in higher education have added an incentive to the present classes. EVERY DAY FELIX MENDELSSOHN Love the beautiful, Seek out the true, Wish for the good, And the best do! DEDICflTIOn Page 4 flLumm RssociflTion This year marks the fifth anniversary of the Ranchester High School Alumni Association, which was organized in the year of 1937, under tne sponsorship of Mr. Charles Alexander, teacher in Ranchester High School. At the annual banquets every spring, new officers are elected. So far the first four officers elected in 1937 have stepped up one office higher each spring. Gerald Osgard was the first president for the year of 1937. He was followed by Cecil Paulus for ’38, Chris Faustian for '39. and Hazel Black for 1940. The Association has tried to follow the aims as set up by the officers of ’37. Following are the five aims: 1. To create good will, a friendly feeling and a spirit of co-operation among all the graduates and between the school and community as a whole. 2. To establish as an annual occasion a reunion banquet to be held each spring for all graduates and their wives or hus- bands. The graduating class of R. H. S. and the faculty members are to be honor guests. 3. To give a cash scholarship each year to the most deserv- ing and worthy student of the class of that year. 4. Local members of the association to meet once a month for parties of some kind. 5. Each three months to give a community open house to raise funds to carry on our association. A few highlights of the Alumni of R. H. S. are: At the present time eighty-nine people have graduated from Ran- chester High School and all are still living. This is an unusual fact. Vicva (Paulus) Jeffers has the honor of being the youngest to grad- uate from R. H. S. She did so at the age of fifteen years. In the year of '27 the R. H. S. basketball team (consisting of Gerald Osgard. Dana Osgard. Clifford Reed, John Black, Ben Underwood and Joe Washut) won third place at the Northeastern Wyoming Basketball Tournament. As a result the team was sent to the State Tournament at Laramie. Gerald Osgard and Winfield Jeffers were in the World’s Champion Stock Judgers Team of the International Livestock Exposition, Chicago, December, 1926. The Alumni Association issued one scholarship of Fifty Dollars. The; was to Lois (Paustian) Washut in January, 1938. Since then no one has been eligible for the scholarship. LeRoy Mills is the only Alumni to have graduated at mid-term. Cupid hasn’t been too active among the alumni of R. H. S. as only two couples have been united in the holy bonds of matrimony: Hazel Rawlings, ’31. and John Flack. 30. in 1934. Faye Coast, 40, and Leonard Schilling, 37, in 1937. Page 9 R H. S.

To the Faculty we at large extend the privileges of “doing unto all successors as they would have liked to do unto us.” To the class of '42 we bequeath the office and all its fixtures so that the teachers will know their whereabouts. To the class of ’4S we bequeath our ability to carry on as well as we have. To the class of ’44 we bequeath the chemistry room with all its broken equipment for future “experiments.” To the future freshmen we bequeath the chance for improvement of their personality and behavior. 1.

Page 28 PROPHCCY FOR TH€ CLASS OF 1941 ▼ In 1951 I planned to take a vacation and as I had been out of school for 10 years, I decided it was time to see what my classmates, Mary and Katye, were doing. I didn't know where to start so I went right back to Ran- chester and inquired as to the whereabouts of Katve and Mary. Mary, I was informed, had been employed as a private secretary for five years; but she felt the work was rather boring and decided to get married. She and her husband are now living above the depot. Her husband is the depot agent. I certainly enjoyed my visit with Mary and she makes wonderful cookies. After visiting Mary I found our Katye had finally gone to Texas. By chance she had been transferred to the Lone Star state on a big job. Her boss happened to be a certain person she knew one summer in Ranchcster and true to form she married him. They have the cutest little boy and girl and the nicest home. Everyone knows there were just three Seniors in 1941; so this is the time for me to tell about myself. I finally graduated from the university and have been teaching high school ever since, and it looks as though I am des- tined to become an old maid school teacher. ??? (I hope.) But, all in all, I feel that the class of 1941 has done very well for itself. —MURIEL DIERKS. It isn’t what one used to be, it’s what he is today that counts.” Page 24 COUNSEL “A wise man will hear and will increase learning, and a man of undertaking shall attain unto wise counsel.”—Prov. 1-5. The Alumni and present students of the Hunchester High School had and have the privilege of hearing and increasing their learning— learning by the fact that the country in which they find themselves was founded upon the basic principle of wise counsel and the privilege of self-expression without the fear of being punished for your ideas if they differ from those of others. The nation has grown to be the leading country in art, culture, industry and science, because people in America listen, hear and meet with understanding ears the expres- sion of others. The training of people to think and express their ideas openly and clearly; also to respect the expressions of others made in the same spirit of betterment for all the group, will eventually lead to an art, culture and science that will enable the group to live the fullest life possible. This is one of the main objectives of education. It is at- tained only insofar as the alumni, students, faculty and patrons work together. May I wish to all who have any connections with the Ranchester School the ability to hear and increase in learning, which will lead to wise counsel. Sincerely submitted, By FRED E. BAYLIS.

Three of the juniors started in the first grade together. They are Barbara Johnston, Eva Kukucka and Jack Hallowell. All the juniors started together in their freshman year with the exception of Earl Kwallek, who came in at the beginning of their sophomore year. The juniors are taking: Typing I, Economics and Sociology, Gen- eral Science, English, Geometry and Shorthand. The juniors gave a play, “The Yellow Shadow.” A large crowd attended. The juniors entertained the seniors and faculty at a banquet May 9 at the Ladies Club House. A good time was had by all. The junior-senior prom was held May 16 at the Ranchester hall. The hall was decorated in maroon and white and a large crowd at- tended. ‘ In this world, it is not what we take up, but what we give up that makes us rich.”—Beecher. WE WONT BE THERE When school is out at Ranchester And we leave the good old place, We’ll all wish that we were fresh- men. Going back to the same old place, Just to see many happy faces Smiling at us in the halls. Hear the school bells ringing Glad tidings to us all; Just to hear the school bell calling That it’s time to take our seats. There will be no scuffle of our merry feet. How sad it seems and how it calls us, As we look at it once more, But next year we won’t be there When they open wide the door. Kathryne Weber, 41. MY BACHELOR LIFE Up at dawn to sweep the floor Into the cracks and behind the door. Next comes breakfast, a hurried meal— I think I got the worst of the deal. Stockings washed and hung on the line— I’ll have to hurry, not much time. Tommy, get! Darn your hide, Burned my hand, could of cried. Off to school all a-droop, Home at noon for a bowl of soup, Back to work a-punching the keys, Oh for the life of Riley, please. School is through for the day— What awful weather for the month of May. Golly, what a horrid, weird mess. But that’s the bachelor’s life, I guess. Betty Doyle, ’40. THAT’S WYOMING There’s a state we all hold dear, and we love her nev-er fear. Where the skies are bright and clear, that’s Wyoming! With her cat-tie ran-ges wide, and her moun-tains side by side. Where good fel-low’-ship a-hides, that’s Wy-o-ming! Though you wan-der o’er the earth, far from home or place of birth, You’re ««till tak-en at your worth, in Wy-o-ming! In her friend-ly at-mos-phere, there’s con-tent-ment and good cheer: You are al-ways wel-come here, in Wy-o-ming! CHORUS Then we’ll stand and sing the praise of this land where wildlife plays. Where the sad-dle horse and do-gies still range free. ’Neath her mel-low west-em skies there’s no pre-tense or disguise: Ev-ery man is his own size in Wy-o-ming! By Jack Bryant. Page 30 R H.

Due to the fact that all the records of District No. 33 have not been located, we have been unable to present complete infor- mation concerning: the early history of the district, however, we have had stated to us by reliable authorities that the first school house was a tar paper shack located about the center of the town in 1899, the teacher being: Miss Kirby. The next school building was on the comer of Main street; the teacher was Miss Christy, who was succeeded by Miss Nichols, Mr. Moran, Miss Bocke, Miss Christy. Miss Mumm, and Miss Rowan. Until 1908 our school was in one District No. 24. It was then organized as District No. 33. The district is nine miles long and four miles wide, it extends north to Early Creek, east to Eaglefield, south to Wolf Creek district and west to the halfway lane. Miss Edith Worthington was county superintendent at the time the district was organized. The district boundary board consisted of Mrs. Worthington, W. E. Wagner, L. M. Martin and Wilson Peak. The school board of District 33 consisted of O. G. Rhode, A. F. Caron, and George Oclschalager. Th-se officers have been succeeded by A. J. Me Da vain. R. E. Mills, T. H. Currie, T. Masters. Mrs. W. H. Snow. G. Masters, Mrs. T. W. Short, V. C. Johnston, Ed Todd and Henry Rasmussen. The succeeding principals were: Miss DeJarnctte, Miss Bruce, Mr. Bowman and Mr. Bruce. In 1913. a two-room cement bui-ding was erected and was in use until 1922, when it was remodeled for the use as a gymnasium. In 1921 an election was held for the purpose of voting bonds which resulted in the present two-story. 10-room brick building. The valuation of District No. 33 in 1926 w as $640,150.00. It was decided that a h;gh school should be established and accordingly in 1913 special subjects were offered in the 9th and 10th grades. Mrs. Luce was the first principal, succeeded by Mrs. Sladr. Miss Tracey, Miss Jacobs. Mrs. Peterson. Miss Williams. Mr. Young. Mrs. Stockhouse, Mr. Rekow, Mr. Garland and Mr. Burgoon. Through the efforts of Mr. Young, the Ranchester school met requirement for standardization in 1922 and the shield was placed on the building indicating the fact. In 1924 courses were offered in the 11th grade and in 1925 this class continued as the 12th grade, w’ith Mr. Rekow as principal. It was under him in May. 1920. that the first class groducted from high school. The school met the requirements for a four-year accredited high school as set forth by the SU te Department of Education in 1925. These records have been brought up to date by Muriel Dierks, '41. The succeeding principals w'ore: Mr. Pepoon, 1927-1930, Mr. Davis, 1930-1935, Mr. Korhonen. 1935-1940. and Mr. Baylis, 1940-1941. In the fall of 1935 the school was changed from the eight-four plan to the six-six plan. The spring of 37 several alumni became interested in organ- izing an association. This year marks the fifth year anniversary and this organization has become an important factor in connection with R. H. S.

After being tortured all day long, they were entertained at a weiner roast in the park during the evening. Although many of the previous Freshman classes have given plays and parties, the Freshmen of 1940 did not give a play or a party. During the year the Freshman class has studied General Science, American Government, Algebra and English. During the second semester of American Government, the Freshmen studied vocations. Near the end of the year our ranks were lessened by the loss of one pupil, Jane Dierks. The Freshmen are looking forward to returning to Ranchester High School as Sophomores next year. “When business is brisk, push all the harder’ Page 37 FR€SHm€n ROLL Virginia Bruce (Ginnie) President William Hauf (Willie) ........................................

The whole class came attired in ridiculous clothing. The boys, dressed as women, could put some of the girls to shame. The girls all were attired in mas- culine gaib. In the assembly program, each Freshman did his share of acting. The girls debated: “Resolved: the boys are smarter than the girls.’ The boys took the opposing side. In the evening a few' punishments were inflicted at the hall, then the whole group went to the park for a weiner roast. This course of events surely initiated all twelve members into the Ran- ohester High School. —Muriel Dierks. ON DRUNKENNESS Drunkenness expels reason. Drowns the memory, Distempers the body, Defaces beauty, Diminishes strength. Inflames the blood. Causes internal, external and incurable wounds. It’s a witch to the senses, A devil to the soul. A thief to the purse, A beggar’s companion, A wife’s woe and children’s sorrow. It makes man become a beast and self-murderer. He drinks to others’ good health And robs himself of his own. Enthusiasm takes cold hard facts, and makes them spit fire.” Page 38 m Seventh and eighth grades BECAUSE I AM AN AMERICAN I believe in fair play, in good sportsmanship, in being kind and helpful to others, in cooperating with others for the good of all, in respecting the opinions of others, in settling conflict by conference, in respecting the rights of others, in the right of free discussion, in the dignity of work, in equal educational opportunities for all, in respecting the right of private property, in open opportunity for the individual, in the rule of the majority with just consideration of the rights of the minority, in an honest ballot, in freedom of speech, in free- dom of the press, in arbitration of disputes, in freedom of religion, in justice for every citizen, in trial by jury, in orderly legal processes, in free- dom from unreasonable search and seizure, in the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances, in the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and in the responsibility of every in- dividual to participate in the dutes of democracy.

Several of the boys and girls had to learn to skate before they en- joyed themselves very much, but they provided plenty of entertain- ment for the others. The seventh and eighth grades took the following subjects the first semester: Health, Arithmetic, Spelling, Reading, Literature, English, Art, Music, and Social Studies. The second semester Agri- culture and the study of Wyoming took the place of Health. Naomi Focht attended school for 10 weeks after Christmas. She came from and returned to Clearmont. The last six weeks Vir- ginia Luce moved to Ranchester from Sheridan. Both girls were in the eighth grade. This spring some of the girls and boys joined the 4-H Club.

Page 42 elementary grades THE AMERICAN’S CREED MI believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, and for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inseparable; es- tablished upon those principles of freedom, equal- ity, justice and humanity for which American pa- triots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. “I therefore believe that it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.” —WILLIAM TYLER PAGE Page 43 DEPARTMENTS ENGLISH The main objective of Secondary English is the use of leisure time. The course affords an incentive for better reading and a broader understanding of literature. Miss Belzer taught ninth end tenth grade English this year. Oral and written composition and one classic were included in the year’s work. Emphasis was put on the construction of clear, concise, properly punctuated and interesting paragraphs. A great deal of practicing was given in writing entertaining, convincing and informative stories. Writing both business and friendly letters was correlative of the other phases of the year’s work. The text book used was Correct English.” Introductory course written by Tanner. Miss Belzer also taught American Literature to the Junior and Senior Classes this year. This course consisted of American authors and reading their works. Time for the Junior-Senior play was taken from the English class. The class memorized poems, wrote poems and kept a poetry note book. MATHEMATICS Two units of mathematics were offered to the pupils of the Ran- chester High School. Algebra was given to the Freshmen and two So- phomores. Mr. Baylis was the instructor. Algebra is intended to train the pupil in reasoning, in habits, in accuracy and self confidence, as well as to be practical. The four fundamental processes are ad- dition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Plane geometry is an important subject offered mainly for So- phomores and Juniors, and it is necessary for entrance in many courses in universities and colleges. It is a subject which teaches facts about triangles, rectangles, circles and other plane figures. It is a neces- sary element for surveyors, engineers, architects, etc. Above all geometry teaches us the important lesson of developing courage and a willingness to stick to a task until it is fully mastered. Mr. Baylis taught the class and the text book was written, by Nyberg. SCIENCE General Science was the only form of science taught this year. A course of General Science was taught by Mr. Baylis, the text book used was “Everyday Problems In Science,” written by Pieper and Beau- champ. Twenty pupils in the class which was composed of the ninth, tenth and eleventh grades. General Science consists of the basic fun- damentals of our life and our surroundings. The pupils learn to in- terpret the phenomenon of the work so that things once puzzling become clear in the minds of the pupils. MUSIC Miss Belzer and Mr. Alexander conducted the music class to- gether this year. The Charles A. Fullerton Course, which is followed by the State Course of Studies, was used and other materials added for programs and entertainment. (Continued on Page 48) Page 44 INTERMEDIATE ROOM The Intermediate Room consisted of twenty-nine pupils: Fourth Catherine Fiedore Bobby Hauf Anton Kawulok Helen Kukuchka Dick Reed Kathleen Sperl Johnnie Bruce Terry Conley Don Johnson Raymond Johnston Billy Penton Fifth William Kukuchka Raymond Focht Patricia McDonald Patty Newlon Ruth Schreibeis Bobby Weber Raymond Weber John Penton Richard Chapman Sixth Jerry Dierks Hilda Hauf Bert Johnston Dorothy Kawulok Helen Kawulok Eddie Kukuchka Dolores Madron Gerald Schilling James Strait The Intermediate Room started the year with 27 pupils. John and Billy Penton left after Christmas for California. On January 6th Raymond Focht entered from Clearmont. He left in March to be re- placed by Richard Chapman from Dietz. The year’s activities were: A Hallowe’en party, a Christmas pro- gram with the primary room, and a Valentine party. A Citizenship Club was organized at the beginning of the year with Jerry Dierks as president, Raymond Johnston as vice president and Dolores Madron as secretary. Our motto chosen was “Honesty is the best policy.” Our colors were red, white and blue, and our song was “God Bless America.” The Yellow Rose was the class flower and the Yellow Canary was the class bird. Citizenship rules were made. Reports were given on Citizenship topics by the pupils. A Quiz pro- gram has been given the last three months, patterned after Dr. I. Q. Art work was entered in the traveling art exhibit with the seventh and eighth and primary room. We expect to make a Fair exhibit as last year we took ribbons on all work sent in. Those on the honor roll all year were: Helen Kukuchka, Kathleen Sperl, Raymond Johnston, Helen Kawulok and Bert Johnson. This included only grades of Fs and IPs. Jerry Dierks, Eddie Kukuchka and Gerald Schilling were sub- stitutes on the Junior High School basketball team. The room also entered in the marble tournament and track meet. Page 47 DEPARTMENTS (Continued) LATIN This year Latin II was offered. Last year the class learned the fundamentals of grammar and vocabulary in Latin I. Additional grammar and vocabulary was studied in the first part of this year, but during the last two six-week periods we translated the wars of Gaius Julius Caesar and did some composition. The class also made Latin note books which were due at the end of the year. Latin is important because our English language is based on Latin. TYPING I AND D Two years of typing are offered in Ranchester High School. Juniors and Seniors are the only ones who may enroll in this elective course. The class text books are entitled, “20th Century Typewriting.” There are a total of eight machines, four Underwoods and four L. C. Smiths. Ranches ter pupils may consider themselves fortunate because they are furnished with typing paper and carbons. The typing course consists of letters, budgets .documents and all office problems. The school annual, papers and programs are stenciled and typed by the typing pupils. For the last three years Mr. Alexander has taught typing. SOCIAL SCIENCE For the Juniors and Seniors, Economics and Sociology were of- fered. Our course in Economics has included a study of modem Eco- nomic organizations and Social Progress. Some of the parts which were the most interesting and valuable were: The family, its history and problems, the problems of the city, immigration, negroes, crime, poverty, money, etc. Some of the main points of Sociology were: Personality, character, ethics, patriotism, government, divorce and flag respect. The class, with Mr. Alexander as the instructor, used as the main text, “Sociology and Modern Problems,” written by Ellwood. The Freshmen and Sophomores took American Government and Civics. This course was taught by Miss Belzer. It was an interest- ing study of family life, homes, communities, early and modem edu- cation, poverty, causes of crime, and the care of the crippled. The second semester Civics was dropped and the study of Vo- cation was taken up. This is the study of jobs, professions and trades. The chief aim of this course is to start the pupils' interests in the future and help them -decide upon which they wish to do as a life work. ART The seventh and eighth grades Art class was taught by Mr. Alexander. Charcoal, chalk, crayon, splatter work, cut papers, etc., were used. Displays were sent to the county fair. The same class of 1939-40 took nine first places, eight second places, and six third places at the Sheridan county fair in August 1940. Page 4$ PRIMARY ROOM The Primary room consisted of twenty-one pupils: First Second Third Joan Fiedor Beverly Barbula Bob Russell Donald Graham Dona Madron Margaret Kukuchka Bettie Lou Goodill Frank Kukuchka Tommy Fiedor Raymond Kawulok La Von Newlon Bill Conley Eugene Fackenthall Dale Schilling Tommy Chapman Rita Chapman Betty Jean Weber Roberta Goodill Julia Mae Cable Vonna Mae Baylis Arnold Tschirgi Jack Leroy Hert and Frank Baker also attended first grade but they moved away. Those having perfect attendance for this year include Donald Graham and Bobby Russell. Both are first graders. A Hallowe’en program and party were given for the mothers. A Christmas program was given for the community by this room and the Intermediate room on December 19th. Visitors to the room were: Mrs. Virgil Graham, Mrs. Alex Bar- bula, Miss Helen Irene Cable, Mrs. Estella Miles and Mrs. Alex Hert and Howard.

Bob—“Did you take my time?” Coach—“1 didn’t have to. You took it yourself.” Don—“Are you doing anything for that cold?” Nina—“Well, I sneeze every time it wants me to.” Mary—“Don’t you like that poem, ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, How I Wonder What You Are .” Mr. Bayiis—“No. Why wonder about the elements of a star when a simple spectrum analysis will solve the question.” Mr. Alexander—“Do you know how the jig saw puzzle started?” Georgia—“No.” Mr. Alexander—“A doctor tried to put a tatooed man back [ gether after a train wreck. Doctor—4 Did you take that box of pills?” Don—“Yes, but I don’t fee! any better. Maybe the lid hasn’t come off yet.” Chet—“What did you think of my speech on sound sconomics?” Mr. Alexander “Well, I should say there was enough sound, anyway.” Miss Belzer—“Can you tell me who came over on the Mayflow Ben—“Yes, my ancestors and a few other people.” “I do not say that I was ever what is called ‘Plain,’ but I have t’ sort of face which bores me when I see it on other people.”—Ti « Countess of Oxford and Asquith in Lilliput.

Although this was the first year that Ranchester put out a football team, the fellows were full of the spirit and went out with the idea of learning the game. It is hoped that the squad will be able to make a better showing as far as number of games won. However, the sportsmanship gained is well worth all the effort put forth in order to have football. □ BOYS’ BASKETBALL The high school boys (Rustlers) who reported for basketball w’ere five Freshmen, four Sophomores, four Juniors and one Senior, who was taken ill at the beginning of the year and was not able to take up the school term for the rest of the year. But we hope to have him back again next year. The boys opened the basketball season at the tournament w'here they won one game and lost the rest of them. In the district tourna- ment the boys were defeated and did not win a thing. Even if they were disqualified, they expect to have a good team next year. GRADE BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Grades had a very good record for the school year in 1940-41. They won the trophy for the first place in the tournament at Buffalo. They were one of the outstanding teams in the “B” class tourna- ment. The Ranchester High has a right to be proud of then.. The people of this community can look forward to a very fast team in future yean. To live our democracy from day to day is one of the best ways to defend it.” Page 56 SPRING ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES During the spring semester, after basketball season closed, the entire school took part in softball. Games were exchanged with neigh- boring towns. The sixth, seventh and eighth grades took part in a track meet sponsored by the Big Horn School in Big Horn. The grades held a marble tournament and the two winners here, Eddie Kukuchka and La Vonne Newlon, entered the tournament held in Sheridan. La Vonne Newlon won third place in this tournament. CITIZENSHIP VALUES IN ATHLETICS The statement has been made by Major John L. Griffith, com- missioner of the Western Conference, that “Democracy is a glorified athletic contest.” He points out that the laws of our land are like the rules of a game. The elected officials of our government correspond to the referees or umpires in our contests. The players in the game itself, as well as the spectators, make up the people of this great nation. When violations of the adopted rules of the game occur there are consequent penalties. And so it is when local, state and national laws arc broken. In a democracy the individual citizen can find his place and “play his game,” provided he does it with due regard for the rights of his fellow citizens. In an athletic contest the player’s aim is to v n, but this end may be achieved only when the code has been kept. Is there anyone who would question the procedure which the average school follows in forming its athletic teams as not being a lesson in good citizenship ? Players, managers ami spectators all have a place in the democratic scheme of things. The player learns that he must cooperate with his teammates if there is to be any degree of success achieved. Democracy thrives only when there is cooperative citizenship. Of course there are leaders in athletics as well as in government, but leaders and followers each are dependent upon the other. Kipling has stated this well when he says: “This is the law of the jungle, It is as old and as true as the sky; The wolf that obeys it will prosper And the wolf that does not will die.” “Like the creeper that girdleth the tree trunk, The law moves forward and back; For the strength of the pack is the wolf And the strength of the wolf is the pack.” Yes, there are citizenship values in athletics because “Democracy is a glorified athletic contest.” We may further question ourselves concerning the wholesome ef- fect of athletic participation on participants themselves. Does it do anyhing to the individual which might pay off in citizenship di- vidends? It seems to me that it does because there must be some value to be derived from “playing the game” and its possible carry- over into “living the game.” tContinued on Page 60) Page 56 ■ GIRLS’ BASKETBALL RANCHESTER 50 DAYTON 15 RANCHESTER 61 KAYCEE 2 RANCHESTER 24 DAYTON 20 RANCHESTER 22 BIG HORN 25 RANCHESTER 42 DAYTON 10 RANCHESTER 23 ARVADA 10 RANCHESTER 48 KAYCEE 6 RANCHESTER 21 BIG HORN 39 RANCHESTER 32 DAYTON 18 RANCHESTER 21 BIG HORN 16 RANCHESTER 28 ARVADA 20 RANCHESTER 24 BIG HORN 27 RANCHESTER 33 UPTON 17 •Signifies the Big Horn Independent Tournament. The Ranchester High School Girl's Basketball Team had a very- successful year. They were defeated by only one team during the entire year, the Big Horn quintet. The Rustlerettes got off on a flying start by winning the first three games on their schedule, opposing Dayton, Kaycee and Dayton again in a return engagement. The Big Horn girls then defeated the Rustlerettes in an exciting fast game by 3 points. The superior height of the Big Horn girls had the Rustlerettes at a decided disadvantage. The Rustlerettes continued winning games with Dayton, Arvada and Kaycee. Out of the 11 games played on this year’s schedule, the girls won nine—an excellent average. On March 22 the Kanchester girls played Upton and Big Horn in the Girls’ Independent Tournament played at Big Horn. They were defeated by Big Horn by a score of 24 to 27, and defeated Upton by a score of 19 to 35. This gave them second trophy in the tourney. The girls feel that they had a very successful season and look forward to another next year. The team will lose two excellent players, Katie Weber and Muriel Dierks, both Seniors, but there is much promising material with which to build another winning team. Page 69 • -a. CITIZENSHIP VALUES IN ATHLETICS (Continued from Page 56) It is not to be inferred that participation in good, clean athletics by a high school student will guarantee that he will be a citizen of the highest order, but if there is anything at all to “example and precept” there should be a favorable balance for athletic participation. If a student athlete analyzes the values he gets from athletics, he will find that they much more than offset what he puts into them. This was done sometime ago by an Iowa high school boy, Victor Kennard, and this is his summary of what athletics did for him: 1. I learned to control my temper. 2. I learned to exerc.se judgement, to think quickly and act de- cisively. 3. I learned the meaning of discipline, to take orders and carry them out to the best of my ability without asking why. 4. Through the training I received I had regular habits knocked into me. 5. I learned to meet, know and size un men. 6. I learned to smile when I was the most discouraged follow in the great wide world. 7. I learned the importance of being on time. 8. I learned to control my nerves and feelings better and to de- mand the respect of my fellow players. 9. I learned to work out problems for my: elf, and to apply my energy more intelligently. 10. I secured a wide friendship which money cannot buy. It is self-evident that there are citizenship values in athletics if this boy's evaluation can be accepted for any or all of its claims. Rules, regulations, policies and programs are valueless unless the individuals affected by them are made better by the experience they have had. The values of some of the “carry-over” activities in education may be debatable, but who can question that value of know- ing the rules of a game, playing fair, hard, and clean, and being a good sportsman? We have definite ways of observing whether or not our athletics are paying dividends in good sportsmanship and bet- ter citizenship. This concluding analysis of “Athletics” would apply equally well to our analysis of “Citizenship”: The “A” in athletics stands for ambition—ambition to be the best possible player in one’s position on the team. The “T” in athletics stands for training—the first requisite of any athlete. The “H” in athletics stands for honesty—honesty to one’s self and one’s team mates. The “L” in athletics stands for loyaity—loyalty to team and to school. The WE” in athletics stands for eligibility—without which an athlete is valueless to his team. The “T” in athletics stands for trustworthiness—a trait all good athletes possess. The “I” in athletics stands for improvement—which is always ob- servable in good athletes. The “C” in athletics stands for courage—courage to do the thing that is right regardless of how the game is going. The “S” in athletics stands for stick-to-it-iveness—the best trait in any athlete.

Barbara Anne Johnston was elected president. Muriel Dierks and Kathryne Weber were appointed as cheer leaders. The Pep Club was present at all the home games and part of the club attended most of the outside games too. In this manner the club gave the teams much moral support. The Pep Club gave two dance? to finance a trip to Gillette dur- ing the Northeastern Basketball Tournament. All the girls went and reported a very enjoyable time. Each girl in the club provided herself with a black corduroy skirt and gold blouse which added greatly to the club’s appearance and especially so during marches and drills. Twila Kawulok was chosen mascot of the club and added much to the popularity of the organization. Page 67 DRAMATICS The following plays were given by Ranchester High School: “The Yellow Shadow was presented by the Juniors and Seniors and also included one Sophomore. It was a hair raising mystery, and was enjoyed by all who attended. Mr. Baylis and Miss Belzer were the directors. “One Big Happy Family” was given on December 6th by the Sophomore class and one Freshman. It was a gay little comedy and gained many laughs. “One Happy Family” was given as entertain- ment for the Ranchester Ladies’ Club annual dinner and had a large attendance. Mr. Alexander directed this clever little play. The seventh and eighth grades gave two one-act comedies entitled, “Seeing Double” and “Red Flannels.” The plays were given on March 28th. It was a very enjoyable evening of entertainment. The plays were directed by Miss Jean Belzer. The Juniors and Seniors with the aid of one Sophomore gave their class play on April 25th, which was entitled, “Fixit, Incorpo- rated.” It was a three-act comedy and very interesting to the large crowd which attended. Everyone enjoyed this amusing comedy. Mr. Baylis was the director. BEYOND THE FAR HORIZON By Barbara Anne Johnston Beyond the far horizon is a r.ew and better life In part, a continuance of the old, but free of toil and strife. There all is free and equal to those who enter in There all is peace and righteousness—Freedom from sin. And when comes the time for our departure to that haven in the blue. We know that the greatest, most glorious thing of all is to come true. Fear not this journey to the distant land of somewhere, For, greatest of all things, God will be there, And we are all God’s children, He loves us, everyone. So when we depart we go not away from, but TO our cherished home. When we go with light feet and upheld head, We go to the land of the living, not the dead. Beyond the far horizon where evil does not maraud, Beyond the far horizon is our abode with God. Page 68 ►i ►” ► V. TATTLER STAFF Editor ...........

Miss Martinet Dierks, Mary Hood, Kathryne Weber Don Bruce Mr. Alexander □ The Tattler staff attempted to publish a paper once every month this year and found, due to the scarcity of pupils in the upper classes, that it was quite a task. Eight were published in all. Papers were traded with Clearmont, Big Horn, Dayton, Arvada and Dailey, Colo. Through these several new ideas for improving the Tattler were learned. Not a cash dole, but a useful role is what the aging require Father and son were strangers until one night they came close Page 71 Thanks As editor of the Rustler, I wish to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all my fellow classmates for their willing: co-operation and as- sistance in making: this, the 1941 RUSTLER, a success.

I'd thot up a poem That'd sizzle your eyeballs. But, by the time I reached school— I forgot it . . . and I tried and I tried To think up another— But an Idea—1 just couldn’t catch it. So I went on to school; Came the second period— And a poem to be read at the third! With a pencil and paper I thunk and I thunk— But I couldn't just think of a word! 'Bout ten minutes more And the bell’s goin’ to ring And I still ain’t thought up a poem! I starts in to shiver— I starts in to squirm— An’ I starts in to wishin’ I'se home. Then it came to me— Like a brilliant flash— I’d tell the whole darn’ tale; How I’d walked to school And tried to think Not a thing, to tell, Fd fail. So here I am, Just as I am— With a poem for today— And all I’ve done Is tell you what 1 didn’t have ready to say. —By Faye Schilling.

Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere. Lips are no part of the head, only made for a double-leaf door for the mouth. Doris: 1 was held up by two men last night. Anna: Where? Doris: All the way home. Chet: I have a good mind to propose to you. Mary: Oh, please do. I need one more proposal to beat my last year’s record. Little Jackie: Do dogs get married? Mother: Certainly not, dear. Little Jackie: Then why does Sport growl at Bessie when they are eating breakfast? Kay: You’re just like an icicle. Gladys: Weil, you know an icicle melts easily enough when you hold it. Marion: My stock in trade is brains. Katie: Then you’ve got a funny looking sample case. Barbara: Thirty is a nice age ior a woman. Mary: Yes, especially if she’s forty. Tubby: Did Gladys make you feel at home when you called on her last night? Ben: No. but she made me feel like I ought to be. Bob: What did you think of my speech on sound economics? Mr. Alexander: Well, I should say there was enough sound, anyway. Love is a gross exaggeration of the difference between one person and everybody else. I do not ‘•ay that I was ever what is called plain, but I have the sojt of face which bores me when I see it on other people. A man gtzed incredulously at a huge mounted fish. Finally he said: “The man who caught that was a liar.” On Bing Crosby’s lawn is this sign: ‘ Keep Off the Grass.” Remember when you, too, were struggling for recognition?
