H. S.: Wanda Melby, Frank KawuLk. Vincent Johnston, Doris Kawulok, Na- omi Focht, Betty Dierks, Virginia Luce and Martin Schilling. Since then the following have dropped school to go elsewhere: Virginia Luce, Betty Dierks, Naomi Focht and Martin Schilling. Jean Olson, formerly of Buffalo, South Dakota, and Newcastle. Wyoming, entered our class in December of this school year. The Senior Class gave a party December 21, at which many games were played. Prizes were given to those with high and low scores. During the past summer the Seniors were employed in various occupations. Little Things It takes a little muscle and it takes a little grit A little true ambition with a little bit of wit. It’s not the “biggest” things that count and make the “biggest” show. It’s the little things that people do that make the old world go. Page 25 eJ© ou n ' Oo S u. ret BACCALAUREATE This year the services were held at the Congregational Church in Sheridan at 11:00 A. M„ May 13. Reverend Harry B. Gordon conducted the services. Many Ranchester people attended. COMMENCEMENT A large crowd came to see our graduating members receive their diplomas. The exercises were held at the hall on May 17 at 8:00 P. M. Reverend E. J. Bernthal gave the invocation and benediction. Mr. W. D. Redle gave a fitting and inspiring address. Mr. Korhcnen presented the awards and diplomas to the Seniors and the Eighth Grade gradu- ates. The Ladies’ Club presented the Seniors with flowers. Several musical selections were played. BANQUET The annual Junior-Senior banquet was held at Ann Newell’s Cafe in Sheridan Thursday, May 3. The program was as follows: Welcome John Burgess, Toastmaster Response Wanda Melby Toast Mrs. Borne Class Prophecy Doris Kawulok Class Will Frank Kawulok Duet Wanda Melby. Jared Hallowell Toast Mr. Korhonen Toast Miss Kuzma Farewell Address Ileene Weber PROM The Junior-Senior prom was held at the Hall Saturday, May 5. The Hall was decorated very beautifully in white and blue, a North- ern Lights theme was carried out. At one end of the hall was a glacier with the Northern Lights reflecting from behind it on the dark blue sky that had stars suspended from it. All of which was very effective. Last but not least Jimmy Cooper and the Downbeats furnished the music that made the evening perfect. Page 27 WHAT THE CLASS OF ’45 SHOULD DO FOR THE WORLD ♦ Our Class is small in size—but not in its power to do the impossi- ble. The looks of the class are superb. Never before has a class had such looks! It is beyond horsepower to judge the power it has to make noise—and of pep, it has galore. Some of the few things that have made our class so and will help to make it even better are: The inclination of the whole class to study rather than have good times???, the handsome appearance of Vincent, the quiet manners of Doris, the ability of Wanda to get on the good side of the teachers, the ability of Frank to appease the teachers and the winning ways of Jean. Now as to what the class should do for the world—Frank with his highly developed agricultural instincts has been able to grow two pumpkins on the same vine already. In the future we look for him to grow peas that need no shelling, cherries that have no pits, corn that ripens in 20 days. Now if we asked Frank what his highest ambition is—we all know what he wculd answer!!! Now Vincent, the boy who studied physics even though it wasn’t taught, will benefit the world someday by producing a sleeping potion that can be administered by telepathy that will put a wife to sleep and prevent her from waking when her husband comes in at two of a morn- ing. In addition tc this talent, Vincent will no doubt come across with new house plans for our future homes. Vincent should have quite a spread with his desire for food, houseful of kids, and a lovely home. Wanda, the gal who loves to sing, to dance and is fend of life that’s gay. will find a change when she weds and cooks three generous meals every day. In addition to her career of music, Wanda will no doubt also tell us how to subjugate the boss, (husband) with frosted cakes and cherry pies. Jean, the Juliet (f ’45, caught Frank in her first try. Frank and Jean will benefit the world by bringing four sets of twins with turned up noses and boy!! what athletes. Jean is an experienced ranch hand so between her and Frank they should be able to give us purple and gold cattle. Doris, the prim and proper model of the Class (???) will give the world the finest and most standard book of etiquette ever published!! Some of the rules stressed will be: girls enjoy yourselves, have many beaux, let your hair hang as it will. And too, she will be able to give us some pointers on housekeeping, and how to hold your man. Page 29 SENIOR WILL To the Ranchester High School: We leave the honor of preparing another group of Seniors for their place in the world. To the faculty we leave the happy memory of our grades and in- telligence. To the Class of ’46 we leave our desks, scratches and all, by the window. To the Class of ’47 we leave all the typewriters and hope they don’t make as many mistakes as we did. To the Class of ’48 we leave the ability to do their best. To all futures Classes we bequeath our ambitions and studying abilities. INDIVIDUAL BEQUEATHS I, Wanda Melby, bequeath all my “true story bcoks” to John Bur- gess and Ileene Weber. I, Doris Kawulok, bequeath all my high school gossip to Ben Schreibeis. I, Vincent Johnston, bequeath my extraordinary art in telling jokes to Georgia Bruce. I. Frank Kawulok, bequeath my skill in courting girls to Denzil Madron and Jared Hallowell. I, Jean Olson, bequeath my sweet approach to Frances Harris. We, as a class, bequeath the test books, teachers, the art of sling- ing erasures, and the lovely view from our school rooms that they may have as much pleasure and less pain than we have had.

Dolores Madron Georgia Lee Burgess James Strait Motto: “The best way to get something done is to do it.” Flower: Forget-me-not Class Colors: Silver and Blue CLASS NEWS The Sophomores are taking four subjects: Geometry, General Sci- ence, American Government and English. Making up limericks in Eng- lish was the most interesting assignment of all. One of the most interesting projects was the election carried by Freshman and Sophomore classes in American Government. The Sophomore class gave a Hallowe’en party October 20. Re- freshments were served. We wish to thank the other classes for the swell time we had at their parties. Success is speaking words of praise, In cheering other people’s ways; In doing just the best you can With every task and every plan. It’s silence when your speech would hurt, Politeness when your neighbor’s curt; It’s deafness when the scandal flows. And sympathy with ether’s woes. It’s loyalty when duty calls. It’s courage when disaster falls; It’s patience when the hours are long, It’s found in laughter and in song. It’s in the silent time of prayer, In happiness and in despair; In all of life and nothing less We find the thing we call success. —Author Unknown Page 37 Freshman Class Raymond Johnston President John Bruce .

We wore costumes and had some strict rules imposed on us by our so call- ed “supervisor. Some of these were opening doors, carrying books, bowing to Seniors every time we saw them anywhere, not speaking to other Freshmen, not chewing gum, eating candy or drinking pop. The Freshmen are taking four subjects: English, American Gov- ernment, Algebra and General Science.

Let us climb.” The attendance has been exceptional. The few absentees that have been prevalent are due mainly to illness. We have gained one pupil, Dorothy Townsend, and have lest none. The buying of stamps and bonds has become a regular activity in our room. A record has been kept of the amounts. The year has been outstanding in its accomplishment, because of the interest and diligent study which has identified it. Splendid indi- vidual work has been dene. The social events enjoyed by our room have been: A weiner roast; a hallowe’en party; a Christmas tree and program; a valentine party; besides a number of room parties. In sports football, basketball, baseball and marbles have been en- joyed. Our room was represented in several district basketball games by LaVon Newlon, Tommie Fiedor, Dale Schilling and Raymond Ka- wulok.

In the theatre Raymond Page 51 JUNIOR AND SENIOR PLAY “GOOD GRACIOUS GRANDMA Friday, April 20, the Juniors and Seniors put on a three act farce which was a success. The cast was as follows: Henry Breckenridge (hates to work) Frank Kawulok George Breckenridge (his cousin) Jared Hallowell Mrs. Lennox (landlady) Wanda Melby Helen Allen (visiting friend) Georgia Bruce Cecil Allen (Helen’s sister) Jean Olson Clancy (Police investigator) John Burgess Wiggins (assistant investigator) Ben Schreibeis P Sam (half-witted negro) Vincent Johnston Delicia (girls negro maid) Frances Harris Sponsor Mr- Korhonen Henry and George find themselves in a stato of embarrassment when Mrs. Lennox demands a deposit on the over-due rent. The solu- tion seems to be found in a telegram which promises money and the arrival of two girls. George through the aid of Mrs. Lennox’s stolen g ods disguises as “Grandma” a perfect chaperon for the two girls. Helen, Cecil and Delicia arrive by train. The boys put them up and keep the money to cover expenses, of course. Things seem to be working perfectly when Clancy and Wiggins, police investigators, arrive looking for the stolen goods that were taken by P-Sam and that are now on Grandma. Henry falls in love with Helen and Grandma ditches clothes when seeing the police. Then George falls in love with Cecile who has been kissing him rather regularly, thinking him to be a Grandma. Delicia and the half-witted negro, P-Sam, fall in love. Mrs. Lennox is not sat- isfied and tries to make the police continue their investigation but they refuse. As usual things end happily.

Page 55 % STUDENT COUNCIL Frank Kawulok President Georgia Bruce Vice President Dorothy Kawulok Secretary-Treasurer Don Johnson Freshman Representative Arnold Tschirgi 7th and 8th Representative Mr. Korhonen Advisor The Student Council held regular meetings on every second Thurs- day cf the month. We also had special meetings called whenever they were necessary. We set dates for all school activities and the prices of tickets to our activities. We also gave the school a Christmas Treat of ice cream and cookies. The student body approved of the Student Council’s suggesticn to purchase a Servicemen’s Honor Roll. The Student Council went ahead and purchased the Honor Roll which is now on display in the hallway on the main floor of our school building. Faith No man fails who keeps faith and persists. Our visions are the blueprints from which our worlds are built. Faith is the substance of the vision, and persistence is the builder. The law is definite, unerring; we may trust it to the limit, and if we set no limit there is none! Don’t Say It! It doesn’t pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke, For the word that stings the deepest is the word that’s never spoke. Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, Then he’ll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn’t say. Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.

Helen Kukuchka, Betty Kuzma, Cleta Newlon, Ruth Schreibeis, Georgia Bruce, Frances Harris and Betty Jo Olson. Although the class was small there was much interest shown in the year’s work. The first weeks were spent in outdoor sketching. The next project was a puppet show, “The Christmas Stowaway” which was shown to the entire school and at a Christmas Tea which the art class sponsored for all high school girls and mothers. During the second semester a unit in design was completed. After learning the use of various mediums and the methods of making de- signs, the girls applied original designs to linoleum blocks, and printed lunch cloths and scarfs. A social evening was enjoyed in April. The girls had dinner to- gether at the schcolhouse. and then attended a puppet show given by the art class at Dayton. The final project of the year was the three-act puppet show, “Han- sel and Gretel’- which was given to the entire school. It was also shown at the “Mother-Daughter Tea” sponsored by the art class on May 11. The group also exhibited their work in design and block-printing at the Tea. Page 60 St: Athletics r. la. 9 FOOTBALL The Ranchester fcotball squad’s season got under way shortly af- ter school started. Mr. Korhonen began training his boys for the first game which was to be with Big Horn. The Ranchester team had an easy win over Big Horn. The following week the Lodge Grass boys challenged the Rustlers. The Coach was able to substitute freely in this game and had an easy win. The last part of the season the Rustlers had a few games among themselves. ♦ BASKETBALL The Rustler squad started basketball in December. They started out very slow but the hard workouts that they were given brought them out of the rut. They learned how to get beat the first part of the season but when they started to win they only lost one game after- ward. The squad wen 11 out of 18 games. When tournament time roll- ed arcund the boys were in good spirits and played hard. They won their first game with Hulet, but the following night lost to Rozet. This loss put them into fight for third which they won by beating Moor- croft and Big Horn in the finals. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL The Junior High boys didn’t do very good this year but were in there pitching all the time. The Baby Rustlers traveled to Buffalo to the tournament. This team is improving fast and by the time they get to be high school students they will make a hard team to beat.
