Our democra- cy is threatened from within, as well as from without. Only through education c can we acquire the knowledge and under- standing of humanity to build a strong . democracy and a lasting peace. It is the duty of every American boy and girl V'v'.'t to take advantage of each opportunity offered to develop these instruments of peace and democracy to help build a bet- ter world in which to live.

This fall, upon entering the school building, we found quite a few changes. On going up- stairs, we saw our excuse to get a drink of water go fluttering out the window, since a new wa- ter fountain had been installed in the hallway; and when lunch tine came we saw a lot of shiny faces in line. We wondered why, and after inquiring we found that hot water pipes had been connected in both restrooms. When the third and fourth graders went into their room their eyes shone with amazement and excitement. They had been the lucky ones to receive a third of the series of new desks that are being installed in the various rooms of the building. On entering the office, we found that a new ditto machine had been installed. This ma- chine helps the teachers make many copies of tests in just a few moments. Early in the fall Mr. Lyman purchased several dressers with large mirrors, to be put in both restrooms. In these are kept supplies. He also purchased several large desks for use in various rooms throughout the school building. One day, while coming out the front door, several of the kids were shot--no, not by a gun, but by Mr. Lyman, who was armed with a flash camera, which in its own right is just as deadly. One day Mr. Lyman set up the screen and the recently purchased slide projector. He showed us the pictures he had taken and we were quite surprised with the results. Ina Jean Turner, Grade 11 BOARD MEMBERS ONE-TIME STUDENTS OF R. H, S, All three members of our school board have graduated from Ranchester High School. These men are John Black. Roy W. Prill, and Cecil Paiius. Mr. Black, who is the director, was born in Auburn. Nebraska, and moved to Ranchester when he was in the seventh grade. Mr. Prill was born in Elgin. Illinois, where in 1940 he became manager of a sheet metal shop. He moved to Ranchester in 1946 and during that year established a shop in Sheridan with his brother David. He is now the clerk of our board of administration. Mr. Paulus, treasurer of the board, was bom and raised in this town, except for four years which he spent in Montana. He was in the first class to put out a yearbook and in the second class that graduated from Ranchester High School. Darlene Fleming, Grade 11 Our janitor, George Gazur, was born at Kooi. George worked on a ranch fifteen yean before coming to Ran- chester as our school janitor. Everyone finds George's work very satisfactory. We hope that he will remain with us a number of years.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY In 1952 six seniors, five girls and one boy, graduated from Ranchester High School with the agreement that they would meet again in 1970. Time passes and when 1970 came every- one showed up as agreed. Joan Fiedor Mlinar, her husband Bob, and their three red-headed sons were among the first ones to arrive. The youngest boy was a little deformed at the time because of an encounter with some bees. Bob is a successful bee-man, and Joan is writing a cookbook How to Cook with Honey , which she expects to publish and sell for a profit of a few thousand dollars. The former Carol Carter and her third husband rolled up in a new Packard. Carol looked extremely tired and explained that her twin daughters were going to be the ruin of her--they always wanted to be running around. Just then Adeline walked in and was heard to remark, Well, after all, you must have expected them to inherit something from you! Everyone was astounded by the change in Adeline. She wore a pink dyed mink coat and had two poodles that were dyed to match. The dogs, as well as their mistress, had the latest poodle cut. Adeline has had a very exciting eighteen years since she graduated from R. H. S. Six weeks after school was out she married a millionaire oil man, and soon after that so many more oil wells were drilled on his land that he became a billionaire. They are the most fa- mous rich family in the United States. Jimmy Melton and his wife flew all the way to Ranchester from Europe, where he has been on a singing tour. He is America's favorite popular singer and has so many girl fans that he has to hire ten bodyguards to protect him from being smothered to death whenever he appears in pub- lic. He owns a large ranch in Texas, where he plans to retire in six months. Beverly Barbula and her husband came from Nevada, where they are now living. They own a chain of gas stations in the western states and are doing a very flourishing business. They have five children--four boys and one girl. Beverly is assured that the person who said boys were the meaner is correct. Last but not least, we find the former Dona Reed and her husband working at the Memorial Hospital in Los Angeles, California. Dona was lucky in marrying a doctor, because she always wanted to be a nurse. They have no family as yet, but maybe when all the seniors meet again there will be a change. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1941 five small but determined youngsters appeared on the Ranchester school grounds. This group included Joan Fiedor, Beverly Barbula, Bob Russell, Donald Gra- ham. and the teacher Catherine Martinek, Darlene Fleming joined us a year later. Our teacher was Miss Martha Brooks. During our third year we were joined by Shirley Mae Lewis and Jerand Johnson. The following year we lost Rose Welch and Jerand Johnson. Our teacher was Mrs. E. Johnson. Mrs. Lena Seigwas our fifth and sixth grade teacher. During our sixth year we were joined by Loren King and Henry Sedar. That year our teacher was Mrs. Mary Jane Myers. Our seventh and eighth grades were a lot of fun. Our teachers were Mrs. Josephine Aken, Mrs. Mary Belding, and Mr. John McCormick. We were joined by Dorothy Zawicki. Shirley Jane Lewis, and Tony Pelesky. Bob Russell moved to Dayton. In our first year of high school Dorothy Zawicki left us for Shoshone, and Shirley Jane Lewis and Henry Sedar left for Sheridan. Donald Graham and Loren King discontinued their education; but we welcomed Carol Carter, Dona Reed, and Jim Melton, making a total of seven in our class. Our teachers were Mrs. Maxine Torbert, Mr. Silas Lyman, and Mr. John McCormick. In the tenth grade we were joined by Adeline Koch and Marjorie Balden. Tony Pel- esky moved to Sheridan. Our teachers were Miss June Cunningham, Mr. Levi Ironhawk, Mr. Silas Lyman, and Mr. John McCormick. The junior class remained the same, but the next year we lost Shirley Mae Lewis, to whom our annual is dedicated. Dona Madron Richey moved to Sheridan. Our teachers were Miss Natalie Hansen, Mr. Vincent East, Mr. Fred Johnson, Mr. Irving Reeves, Mr. Larry Barrett and Mr. Silas Lyman. Our class included Joan Fiedor Mlinar, Carol Carter, Dona Reed, Adeline Koch, Beverly Barbula, and Jim Melton. Donna Greer joined us but left us at Christmas time to move to Greybull. The only two students who began the first grade at Ranchester and who reached the goal are Joan Fiedor Mlinar and Beverly Barbula. We deeply appreciate the many good wishes of all our teachers. They have given us the opportunity for our journey out to the open road. SENIOR CLASS WILL 1952 We, the senior class of 1952, from Ranchester High School, do hereby state our last will and testament; To the faculty we leave our coverless books and carved-up desks. To the junior and senior classes of '53 we will the ability to carry on the successful plays for which Ranchester High School is noted, and to the senior class of ‘53 we bequeath our opportunities and superiority as seniors. To the classof '53 we will our ability to carry out the traditions of R. H. S, To the future freshmen of R. H. S. we will our ability to be good sports during fresh- man initiation. I, Dona Reed, bequeath to Joan Johnson the duty of having all my fun in high school, and to Jean Lewis my power to stay out of certain photographs. I, Carol Carter, will to Ina Jeanne Turner my job as editor of the Ranchester annual. I. Joan Fiedor Mlinar, will to Jeannette Kawulok my job as editor of the school paper. I, Beverly Barbula, bequeath to Barbara Fleming the ability to get one of those flashy diamonds, and to all the girls in the pep club my fun at the district tournaments. I, Adeline Koch, will my natural height to some certain freshmen boys, and to Darlene Fleming my place as secretary of the senior class. I, I. James Melton, will to David Masters my job as student council president, and my power to get along with all the girls to Robert Townsend.

It seems as though it will be rather lonely around here next year, when we don’t see Dona Reed scurrying and fussing about because she made a mistake in her bookkeeping. Oh yes, and there's Carol; it seems she's having a bit of trouble over that copy page. Is it a very big mistake, Carol? Carol if one of those vivacious persons who is needed by everyone at the same moment. Wonder who that can be? Any one could guess, because it's Adeline. She is very in- terested in those algebra problems, but she always has a smile for everyone. Her future plans are to be a secretary for some big businessfirm. Don't forget, Adeline, that life is not all work and no play. Who can that be looking out the window? It must be Beverly looking for that certain car car to drive past. Bev may often be seen rushing home to help with household tasks and various jobs which keep her busy in her spare time. Our attention is soon drawn to the front of the room where we see a group of boys talk- ing. Guess who's in the middle of them! Yes, Jim Melton, of course. Jim, with his dimples and quiet, efficient ways, is well liked by everyone. No one could be prouder than R. H. S. to be able to turn such a fine class out into the world to make it a better world in which to live. Jeannette Kawulok Grade 11 ODE TO THE SENIORS S eniors proud are they, E ach has earned his way, N apping through the years, I gnoring any fears; O nly they have earned R ewards for which we've yearned. Catherine Mock and Jean Lewis, Grade 11 JUNIORS BOAST LARGEST PERMANENT CLASS ENROLLMENT After three years of leadership in scholarship, activities, and genuine good times, our junior class looks forward to next year, our senior year of high school. Along with these dis- tinctions during our three years in high school, we have been the largest class, with twelve permanent members. During the third week of school we held our class elections. The officers are as fol- lows: President, Joan Johnson; Vice President, Barbara Fleming; Secretary, Ina Jeanne Tur- ner; Treasurer, Dick Masters; and Representatives to the student council, Dave Hallowell and Dick Masters. Curtis Greer joined our class in the middle of the first week of school. We all liked Curty” and regretted his leaving in December. Five juniors participated in the play, The Woman Next Door. David Masters, Rob- ert Townsend, and Curtis Greer were members of the play cast. Ina Jeanne Turner handled sound effects, and Barbara Fleming was assistant director. If you were to ask a junior what the most exciting day of the year was, he'd more than likely tell you it was the day when his class ring arrived. We are all exceptionally proud of the rings and don’t mind showing them off a bit! Work for the prom has begun. Our plans are a little indefinite, but in several months we expect to have them completed. The theme will be kept a secret. Our flowers are red and white carnations, and our colors are light green and silver. . Jean Lewis, Grade 11 ODE TO THE JUNIORS J is for the joys they share in studies, U is for the use they make of time, N is for the notes they pass to buddies, I is for their idleness sublime, O is for their offers to be helpful, R is for the rings they long to trade; Put them all together; they spell junior.

Anonymous SOPHOMORES SOPHOMORES Doris Hauf Jane Reed Florence Koch Norma Hauf Dick Lyman Gale Shatzer Jon Davis Jesse Gorman SOPHOMORES STILL REMEMBER LAST YEAR’S INITIATION On September 6, 1951, nine solemn students entered the Ranchester High School and climbed the familiar twenty steps to the rows of desks that mark the study hall. These nine students were the sophomore class for the year '51-'52. After entering the study hall where everyone was trying to talk above everyone else--the result was such a din that even the stu- dents were annoyed -we sophomores picked the subjects we would attempt to master for the term. To relate some of the highlights of the year, no one will forget the initiation of the freshmen, especially the sophomores, since they were the freshmen last year! Nor will they forget the dances, parties, and sports activities. We sophomores will always remember the years of ’51 and '52 at RHS. 4 Roy Powers, Grade 10 SQUARE DANCE ODE TO THE SOPHOMORES Square dance tonight.

Gary Lewis, Grade 6 FRESHMEN FRESHMEN Sponsored by: SHERIDAN PRESS Frances Birdie Ruth Gorman Betty Jo Woods Eva Woods Ardella Shaw Joe Fiedor Jerry Shatzer Darryl Lowell Edward Haratyk _ Robert Kramer THE FRESHMEN EXPRESS VIEWS ON INITIATION On the morning of September 14, 1951, there were some odd-looking characters walking about and polishing the upperclassmen's shoes. They were the ten freshmen who were about to get initiated. The upperclassmen were cruel and heartless and the sophomores who went through an in- itiation last year sought vengeance upon us poor defenseless freshmen. When school began, we, or rather the whole school, went over to the gym. The main event was the marriage of the freshmen class to R. H. S. After the marriage we were taken up on the stage where we really suffered the consequences. There were bowls of flour with a few pieces of candy in them, and we had to dunk our heads into the flour for a piece of candy. Then each of us stood on a plank which the upperclassmen pretended to lift off the floor. When we were told to jump, we thought we were going to jump about five feet, but it was only a few inches. Then we became pack horses! They loaded us up with tin cans, brushes, and lime, and we were herded up to the R to work on it. We worked hard, but after a while we got to go home. Robert Kramer and Darryl Lowell, Grade 9 FRESHMEN BEGIN SCHOOL WITH USUAL DREAD OF UPPERCLASSMEN When school started there were ten freshmen. All of us were scared to death and dreaded the day when the freshman initiation would take place. Our names are Eva Woods. Betty Jo Woods, Ruth Gorman, Ardella Shaw, Frances Birdie, Darryl Lowell, Robert Kramer. Joe Fiedoi. Jerry Shatser and Eddie Haratyk. All of us attended the Ranchester school last year except Eva and Betty Jo Woods from Parkman. Ardella Shaw from Wisconsin, and Eddie Haratyk from Kooi. At the end of the first semester Betty Jo and Eva left us to go to their new home at Lodge Grass, Montana. Just before they left, Donna Scott from Rapid City, South Dakota, joined the Ranchester freshman class. The freshman class has something no other class has. It has a comedian. When she comes into the room she runs, slides, and makes a one-point landing in her assigned place. This is none other than Ruth Gorman. In world history class there are only girls, and Ruth keeps us laughing all the time.

Our home room teachers are Miss Natalie Hansen, Mr. Vincent East, and Mr. Frederick Johnson, all of whom we like very much. On September 12 we were invited on a field trip by the fifth and sixth graders. We vi- sited some of Wyoming's historical land marks. We took two buses, which were driven by Mr Larry Barrett and Mr. George Gazur. At the fish hatchery we had a very good lunch, which was prepared by our cooks, Mrs. Cecil Paulus and Mrs. Dora Kwallek. September 17 we elected this year's cheerleaders, who are Marcia Masters, Barbara Add- leman, Coralee Malyurek, and Marvel Turner, substitute. On November 2 we started a magazine campaign. The group chose Clifford Kaufmann and Peter Davis as leaders. The winning side, Clifford's •Blues , were entertained at an ice skating party on January 11 by the losing side, Peter's Golds.” Gary Bocek was leading sales- man. with $53. 85 in subscriptions. On December 11 we went on another field trip to terminate our agriculture study. We saw many interesting things in the surroundings of our community. We had a Christmas party on December 21. The fifth and sixth graders came into our room to play games, enjoy refreshments, and open their presents. Mr. Johnson sang a song and Mr. Barrett did a few of his card tricks for us. School was resumed December 27 after a brief Christmas vacation. On January 30 the room made plans for a spring clothing drive. The clothing collected will be used to aid children and families in Korea, six countries in Western Europe, and in dis- advantaged rural areas of the United States, including the Navajo and Papago Indian reserva- tions. Leaders chosen for the drive were Barbara Addleman for the Squirrels and Coralee Mal- yurek for the Lemmings. The losing side will hold a party for the winning side. We expect to go to the mountains for our annual spring picnic the last week of school. Coralee Malyurek, Grade 8 MR.

FIELD TRIP HIGHLIGHTS YEAR FOR FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADERS At the beginning of the school year our enrollment was fourteen, six girls and eight boys. The room we occupy is the former junior high room. Our home room teacher, who also teaches us gym, is Mr. Barrett; our reading and lan- guage teacher is Miss Hansen; our art teacher is Mrs. Plott; our music teacher is Mr. East; and our study hall teacher is Mr. Johnson. We began the year's work by making preparations for some Wyoming notebooks, which were to be finished by the end of the semester. To add to our knowledge of Wyoming history, we went on a field trip with the seventh and eighth graders, to see some of the historical land marks in Sheridan County. We left here September 12 around 9:00 a. m. We saw Fort Phil Kearney, the Massacre Hill monument, a pioneer grave site, the Wagon Box Fight monument, the Father De Smet monument, the Portugee Phillips monument, the Story fish hatchery, and the Sheridan Inn. We returned around 2:30 p. m. On the afternoon of the last day of Christmas vacation, the fifth and sixth graders had a party with the seventh and eighth graders. We played games. Mr. Barrett showed us some of card tricks, and everyone received a treat. After the beginning of the second semester we organized a citizenship club. The offi- cers are Allan Ellsbury, president; Alixe Paulus, vice president; Charles Birdie, secretary; and Alice Ellsbury, treasurer. The purpose of our club is to teach and promote better citizenship. We also received a new flag for our room at about this time. We were very glad to have it. On Valentine’s Day. we fifth and sixth graders took our valentine box into the seventh and eighth grade room, where we had our party. We also had a joint citizenship meeting. Allan Ellsbury, Grade 6 THIRD AND FOURTH GRADERS SPEND EVENTFUL YEAR Our room has had a busy year. We have learned man, new things and have traveled to many distant lands on our magic social studies carpet. We flew over the hot jungles of the Bel- gian Congo, sailed up the Nile River, and visited the pyramids and the silent Sphinx. Then we rode over the great Sahara on the ship of the desert. We stayed for a time with the Bedouins, the horsemen of the desert. From these hot lands we whisked to the North Pole and then stop- ped in Switzerland for some skiing in the Alps. We picked tulips in Holland and watched wind- Continued on the next page... mills doing their important work. In China and Japan we ate with chopsticks and learned how rice grows. Near our own country we visited Mexico, our good neighbor to the south. We learned some Mexican songs, dances, and words. In all our travels we found that the boys and girls were much like ourselves whether their skins were black, brown, or yellow. We found they play many of the same games as we do and like the same thing?. When we were very small, some of us believed snow fell because angels shook their feath erbeds. In science this year we learned why snow falls, what rain is, and what volcanoes and glaciers are. We had a Christmas gift exchange in our room from our own Christmas tree. We made all the decorations for our tree. We also made pictures and wrapping paper for our parents. We held a Halloween party and a Valentine party. The fourth graders were in charge of refreshments for these entertainments. We played games and had lots of fun. Our class held citizenship club meetings on Fridays. We discussed good manners, news, and other subjects. Each week a committee was appointed to be in charge of the program. Our officers were Bertie Gene Graham, president; Elbert Belish, vice president; and Jon Fergu- son, secretary-treasurer. We have had a pleasant year and are looking forward to next year. PRIMARY GRADES ENJOY MANY SCHOOL ACTIVITIES We’ve worked hard this year to overcome timd out and illness, but we've had much fun too. We started out by practicing for the rhythm hand under the direction of Mrs. Olson and Mr. East. We played two pieces between the acts of the junior-senior play. Nancy Davis conducted. For Christmas we all took part in the chorus, singing songs appropriate to the Nativity story. With these songs and story, read by Mrs. Ray Johnston, colored slides of the birth of Christ were shown. Then Santa Claus came and gave everyone a treat. After the first of the yearwe spent much of our free time doing water colors. We think we have some very good pictures to show for it. This year instead of giving everyone in the room a continued on next page... MRS. OLSON ENJOYS HER PRIMARY YOUNG ESTERS First row, left to right: L. Averill, J. Ellsbury, D. Prill, D. Paustian, M.

Because we did this, Mrs. Olson treated us to a Valentine party. The men at the hospital were glad to get the cookies and candy and we are glad we did it. It made us feel good to know we had made someone else happy. We think our mothers were wonderful to help us. In the spring we helped the other elementary grades put on an operetta. There hadn't been one here for quite a while, and everyone seemed to enjoy it as much as we did. We had a live rat experiment in our room in April. One white rat was fed the right kind of food while the other one wasn't. We could see by watching the two why our mothers and Mrs. Olson want us to eat our vegetables and fruit and drink our milk. This year we have tried to have puppet shows in our room. We told the stories ourselves, using dolls which the girls had brought from home. We used stories like ''Little Red Riding Hood , Cinderella , and Hansel and Gretel. We enjoyed them because every one of us had a chance to do something. STUDENT COUNCIL AIDS IN PLANNING SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Officers elected to the student council at the beginning of school last fall were as follows: Jimmy Melton, president; Dave Masters, vice president; Jeanne Turner, secretary; and Dona Reed, treasurer. The student council this year has prepared the school calendar, has made rules and regu- lations for many, school activities, and has helped to govern the school in many other ways. At the beginning of school, on the day of freshman initiation, the R was whitewashed again under the supervision of the council and according to the tradition that was set up two years ago. The events which were planned by the student council during the year were considered a big success by all of those who attended; thus the council once again functioned smoothly as a student administrative body. David Masters, Grade 11 STUDENTS FIND SHORTHAND REQUIRES CONSIDERALBE EFFORT Every day ( or maybe not every day ) nine girls drag into the commerce room, trying to see who can make a grand entrance. The minute we step into the room we hear TAKE THIS. So we take dictation--dictation and transcribing! I can't keep up with you!! How fast are you going? I can't read my do-fors!!” Mr. East asks, Have you got your practice work for today? Six or seven girls reply, I didn't have time. What good is shorthand? We must all stop to think that shorthand can be very useful, es- pecially when one is in college, nursing, or just plain secretarial work. The question is answered, so we take more dictation. What things we have to go through to get out of school!! Or is shorthand that bad! No, it really Un't. jt just requires considerable effort am' patience if one is going to master it, as does any other high school subject. Barbara Fleming, Grade 11 Compliments of the : MOUNTAIN INN BAR 1951 PROM EMPLOY'S HAWAIIAN THEME There is a certain event in the year which all the R. H. S. students look forward to. This is the Rustlers' Ball. Last year, on April 20, many couples danced in the attractively decorated hall to the mu sic of Paul Bachlet and his five-piece orchestra. The decorations were blue and white crepe-paper walls and ceiling, with a beautiful Ha- waiian scene drawn by Robert Townsend. Table decorations consisted of palm trees fashioned from tree limbs wrapped in gilt paper. Suspended from the center of the ceiling was a moon, which was surrounded by a beautiful milky way. We sincerely hope that the juniors this year can stage as beautiful a prom, and we are confident that they can. David Hallowell, Grade 11 SLIDE PROJECTOR USED IN CHRISTMAS PROGRAM The annual Christmas program was held on December 21, 1951. The high school choir sang Jingle Bells , We Wish You a Merry Christmas , and White Christmas. The students of the choir were all dressed uniformly; The girls wore white blouses and dark skirts; the boys wore white shirts with neckties. The seventh and eighth graders sang Silent Night.” Then all the grades combined to form a large choir, which sang songs while Mr. Lyman projected some slide Pictures of the birth of Jesus. Mrs. Ray Johnston was the narrator of the story of Christ's nativity. After the school program was over, the audience joined the choir in singing the last song, Joy to the World. Santa then appeared, greeted all the children, and gave out treats. The high school girls helped him because he was in a hurry to be on his way. The treats were prepared by the members of the Ranchester Woman's Club, whom every- one wants to thank for their splendid co-operation. According to the many comments heard, the program was exceptionally successful. Doris Hauf, Grade 10 RANCHESTER PEP CLUB BOASTS LARGEST MEMBERSHIP EVER This year the R.H. S. pep club has the largest membership it has ever had, with twenty- two girls. The officers were elected as follows: Joan Fiedor Mlinar, president; Joan Johnson, vice president; Jean Lewis, secretary; Carol Carter, treasurer; and Dona Reed. Ina Jean Turner, and Barbara Fleming, cheerleaders. Christmas cards were sold again this year; however, the pep club girls had a little hard luck. Some of the cards arrived too late and had to be returned to the company. The club members were all sorry about it. Pop and candy were sold at the home games this year to help finance the trip to the bas- ketball tournament, which will be held at Gillette on March 6, 7, and 8. Most of the girls are planning to go. Jane Reed, Grade 10 Sponsored by ERNST’S DONA REED MAKES DEBUT IN R.H.S. PLAY On December 7, 1951, the juniors and seniors presented a play entitled The Woman Next Door. ” The opening scene began when Irma (Dona Reed) and her neighbor Ellen Ralston (Donna Greer) were not on speaking terms. For a number of years the two had been very close friends. Then they built fences between their property. To further complicate the situation, Irma's daughter Cecile (Joan Mlinar) was determined to marry Ellen's son Sherm (Jim Melton). The teen-age daughters of these feuding friends were Tess Ralston (Beverly Barbula) and Madge Mortenson (Carol Carter). They were also on bitter terms with each other, especially when Madge found the former's prize hen on the Mortenson property. The new minister Doctor Scott (Dave Masters;, who had just arrived in town, got off to a bad start with Ellen by visiting Irma first. Mr. Bridges (Robert Townsend), a friend of Irma's, was asked to resign from his position as principal in order that one of Ellen's'friends could be put in his place. This really aroused Irma! Rusty (Curtis Greer) got into trouble with his sister because he broke the wedding present twice. To get Ellen out of the neighborhood, Irma decided to buy Ellen's house, but a fire made Irma change the nan.es on the deeds. The play ends happily with the wedding of Cecile and Sherm and a reconciliation between Irma and Ellen. We all enjoyed putting on this play, even though we had a little trouble with both th curtain and the live chicken. Ina Jeanne Turner even had fun when she couldn't find the place to bring in the automobile effects. Barbara Fleming, Grade 11 Look up into the clear blue skies To see the sun and see it rise, To see the clouds all blue and gray Look up to us , they seem to say, It's fun up here! Oh don't you hear The song birds sing so sweet and clear, Where stars do shine and rainbows prance ? So if you ever get a chance. Rise up to the Celestial Above the earth where God does dwell.

CHOIR Sponsored by: ROSE GARAGE and SERVICE 1 RANCHESTER ADDS SHOP COURSE TO CURRICULUM All of us students of the Ranchester school are proud that we now have a manual training shop. It is in Carl Kukuchka's garage about two and a half blocks from the school house. Mr. Irving Reeves is the instructor. At first we had only hand tools to work with, but later Mr. John Black loaned us his pow- er saw, which helped a great deal. Now there are five power tools belonging to the school, plus Mr. Reeves own tools, which he is kindly letting us use. There are three periods of shop, one in the morning and two in the afternoon. The first two are for high school, and the last one is for the junior high school. At the beginning of the second semester we started an archery club. There are seven boys and five girls in the club. Dick Masters is our president, Mr. Lyman is our sponsor, and Mr. Reeves is our technical advisor. We made our bows and arrows as a shop project. Jon Davis, Grade 10 Compliments of the: BANK OF COMMERCE YEARBOOK WORK BOTH AMUSING AND TRYING When school first started last fall, election of officers was held, and Carol Carter was elected editor of the RUSTLER. For her assistants she chose Joan Fiedor Mlinar, assistant editor; Joan Johnson, business manager; and Ina Jeanne Turner, circulation manager and artist. In assembling the yearbook, many meetings had to be held in the evenings. After one of these meetings was over, we noticed Mr. Johnson, the annual sponsor, staff workers, proof- reader, and chaperone, pushing a pickup truck out of a snow drift in front of the schoolhouse. What was the trouble? The etiitor had decided to take a short-cut home; Mr. Johnson had to push, and finally drove home himself to make sure that he got there in one piece. After much work on the pan of the staff, the yearbook was finally finished to everyone's satisfaction. But before this was accomplished, tempers were slightly on the raw side. Even our editor was heard to remark one day, Why ask me anything about it? I don't know--1 am just the EDITOR! All in all, the staff had a lot of co-operation in publishing the yearbook. We especially want to thank Ina Jeanne Turner for her unlimited help and for her an work! Carol Caner, Grade 12 SCHOOL CALENDAR SEPTEMBER 4 Oh brother!

They played their first game when they journeyed to Montana and played Colstrip. The Rust- lers were ar too inexperienced and outclassed by the hard-driving Colstrip six and went down to defeat 56-12. In their next game the Rustlers played the veteran Big Horn team and again went down to defeat 44-6. The Rustlers then journeyed to Dayton to play their archrivals. The Rustlers were an im- proved team but were again overpowered 66-16. Due to a long shut-down in school during the polio scare, the Rustlers had to abandon football for the remainder of the season. After stowing away their gear, the Rustlers are looking forward to a bigger and better season next year.

The next week the Rustlers gradually began to pull out of their slump by defeating the., Clearmont Panthers on their home floor 25-24. The Rustlers played their next home game against their archrivals the Dayton Elks. Playing one of their best games of the current season, the Rustlers defeated the highly favored Elks, 36-34. Their next game was against the high flying Arvada five, and in a last half thriller the Rustlers were defeated 30-29. The Rustlers journeyed to Big Horn to play the undefeated Rams, and when the Rustlers left, the Rams were still undefeated due to a score of 63-40.

Jimmy Melton, Grade 12 JUNIOR RUSTLERS HAVE BUSY CAGE SEASON The Ranchester Junior Rustlers raised the curtains on their 1951-1952 basketball season December 11 against Wyola, Montana, and although a close game was played, Wyola defeated the Junior Rustlers 32-29. This being their first game of the season, the boys were undoubtedly nervous. On December 18 the Junior Rustlers were hosts to the Monarch Miners. Coming from be- hind in the second half, the Junior Rustlers topped the Miners 20-21. The Junior Ristlers' next game was played at Clearmont. The players after stepping out Continued on the next page... to an early lead, became overconfident, and at the end of the third quarter Clearmont led 12-9. In the final quarter the Junior Rustlers surged ahead 17-14. We returned to our home court January 18 to playhost to Dayton Junior High. This game was one of the more closely contested games of the season. When the final whistle sounded, Dayton had topped us 30-26. The Arvada Junior High team traveled to Ranchester on January 25. In a close game Ranchester defeated Arvada 34-28. On January 31 Woodland Park engaged the Junior Rustlers, and easily defeated them 39-21. On February 1 we traveled to Big Horn, and for the first time in our season were able to hold our stride. Coach Barrett substituted freely, and we defeated Big Horn 33-25. On February 5, we played host to the Holy Name Junior High and although the game was very close, we came out on top with a score of 26-25. On February 6 we traveled to Monarch and were badly defeated in their gym 36-21. Our next game was on February 12, when we played host to Clearmont Junior High and defeated them 24-25.
