A JUNIOR S BIRD’S-EYE VIEW OF THE SENIORS What will we do next year when we climb the flight of stairs, look into the study hall, and don’t see Lorna scurrying around? What!! Lorna, you didn’t lose your book again? Hurry, you’re late for class—but we do give Lorna credit for being our only married girl in the Senior class. It’s first period in the afternoon, and we hear music ccming from the study hall. Shall we go in and see? As we enter, we see Bruce; and he is sing- ing one of his favorites, “Casey Jones.” Bruce al- ways has a cheerful smile for everyone. Just a minute! There is some sort of a disagree- ment up in the front of the room; I hope it isn’t anything bad. Eugene, what’s up? You mean you and Ray can’t decide which is the better of the two cars, the “Chevy or Ford? I guess they won’t get that problem settled before they graduate. They have everyone in R. H. S. wondering. Someone is at her desk reading a letter. Shall we peek? It must be Betty Lou. And the U. S. N. hasn’t forgotten her. Why should it??? Who could that be carrying that typewriter around? It must be Robert. I just heard him say, “Can I type here?” Bob is president of the student council. Let’s listen in on English class. Tom. you don’t know the answer to the question? Well, wait until it is asked. But just one minute. Jim may know the answer. My goodness, who is that coming up the stairs? Margaret, where have you been? Down in the kitchen? Don’t yoil know it isn’t noon yet? Oh! I see! You slept in this morning and didn’t have time to eat breakfast? Margaret is president of our pep club. And the next of our Seniors is our cowboy. Frank, who rode a black stallion for Stunt Night in the “Streets of Lorado.” Frank’s smile always gives him away. In the typing room we find Marvin Souther typing like mad. Oh! Oh! Looks as if he’s gone now. You see. Marvin not only is an advisor (?) to a lot of students, but he is also the janitor. Everyone runs to him with his problems; and, believe it or not he generally acknowledges them, busy as he may be. Now that you’ve seen all the Seniors, don’t you think they are a grand group of students to go out into the world? We do! ! ! ! —Beverly Barbula. Grade 11 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1939, nine green but brilliant little first grade students started enjoying life by enter- ing the Ranchestcr school; they were Dale Schilling, Tommy Fiedor, Margaret Kukuchka, Eugene Fack- enthall, Robert Russell. William Conley. Betty Lou Goodill, La von Newlon, and Raymond Kawulok. Katherine Martinek was our teacher. We were joined the following year by two new students. Tommy Chapman and Frank Kukuchka. but lost Tommy Chapman the following year to Rock Springs. We also lost William Conley. During this year we welcomed our new teacher. Miss Brooks. During our sixth grade we were joined by Dorothy Townsend. We were very happy the next year to be able to climb the flight of stairs to the seventh grade room but were very unfortunate to lose Lavon New- lon to Sheridan, however, our class remained at nine because Lorna King joined us. In the eighth grade we were very happy to learn we had the second largest class in school, with thirteen. The new students were Robert Lyman, Douglas McLean. Carol Zawicki. Mary Ann Mates, and William Raswadovski. Freshmen at last! We lost Mary Ann Mates and William Roswadovski, but Bruce Port wood brought our class back up to twelve. We lost Carol Zawicki during our Sophomore year to Shoshoni. We were once more back to nine students dur- ing our Junior year, when we lost Dale Schilling and Douglas McLean to Sheridan. We have at last reached our goal for which we have worked so hard for the Iasi twelve years. This year we were glad to welcome Marvin Souther, which brings our class up to ten. Of the original nine students who started the first grade together twelve short years ago, there are six still with us. They are as follows: Raymond Kawulok. Margaret Kukuchka, Betty Lou Goodill. Tommy Fiedor. Eugene Fackenthall and Frank Kuk- uchka. We all have had so much fun during our twelve years of school, that time has flown by faster than we have realized; so now we find ourselves graduat- ing and going out into the world as useful citizens. —Betty Lou Goodill, Grade 12 —Margaret Kukuchka. Grade 12. —10—

RAYMOND KAWULOK TOM FIEDOR EUGENE FACKENTHALL MARVIN SOUTHER SENIOR CLASS PROPHESY On a bright, sunny day in May of 1961. I sud- denly had the desire to see my former classmate. It was then that my trip began. First of all I stopped in Virginia, where I notic- ed that the coach of the Virginia Redskins was my former classmate Eugene Fackenthall. He was now happily married. My next stop was at Madison Square Gardens, where I ran into P.ruce Portwood. who had just received the bull-riding championship of the world. After leaving Bruce. I then journeyed to Wash- ington, D. C., where I visited Marvin Souther. He was now janitor of the White House. Then came my surprise to find Betty Lou Goodill in Texas. She was an old maid, but still had her diamond ring. Margaret Melton was next on my list of people to visit. I found her in Parkman. Wyoming. She is the former Margaret Kukuchka. and the mother of twins. Josephine and Joseph. I then found Lorna Chapman in Butte, Montana; and to my surprise she was saying. “They’re cheap- er by the dozen.” While on my trip I stopped in Hawaii; and whom do you thing I visited there?—Frank Kuk- uchka. Lo and behold! I discovered him directing a charming little group of grass-skirted hula-hula dancers. Next I found Tom Fiedor in Korea, commanding the Ninth Army Infantry Division, with six vic- torious battles to their credit. South Africa was my next stop, where I visited Robert Lyman. He was prospecting for diamonds with some success. I finally returned to my home in Hollywood, where I resumed my job as producer of R. C. A. pictures, then producing Flying Cups and Saucers.”
