DEDICATION We, the Annual Staff, wish to dedicate this 1956 RUSTLER, to Mr. Silas Lyman, Superintendent of the Ranchester Public School and the Senior Class sponsor. This is only a very small token of appreciation for all the generous and dedicated service he has contributed to the school and the community. Mr. Lyman has been superintendent for ten years, during which time he has proved to be an ever-present friend to the entire student body. We, the student body and faculty, wish Mr. Lyman and his family much happiness and good luck in the years to come. We are proud to honor him with the dedica- tion of this 1956 yearbook. Left to right: Barbara Addleman, Mrs. Cecil Paulus and Mrs. George Wondra SCHOOL EMPLOYEES Mrs. Cecil Paulus, Mrs. George Wondra, and George Gazur are our school employ- ees this year. Preparing any- where from 110 to 130 noon meals for the students, the two cooks have no easy task. The perpetually clean appearance of the school buildings is attributed to our fine janitor, George Gazur. We certainly feel proud in having these fine people in our school system.

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of School District 24 is composed of the following members: Lloyd Watson, director - Dayton M. E. Haworth, clerk - Parkman William F. Welch, treasurer - Kooi C. O. Butler, trustee - Pass Creek Melvin R. White, trustee - Ranchester George Buszkiewic, trustee - Ash Creek The reorganization of the six districts indicated above became effective in the sum- mer of 1955. Final determination of the permanency of the consolidation, however, is to be determined by action of the State Supreme Court. On December 5, 1955, John Mattson assumed the duties of district superintendent. Representation of the Board of Trustees was given to each of the six districts involved in the consolidation to promote harjnony in the discussion of policies concerning the dis- trict as a whole. The present members of the board have set a good example of far-sighted- ness and fair-mindedness in their administration of District 24. - From left to right: MR. SILAS LYMAN MRS. DORA SWANSON MRS.

SUPERINTENDENT’S MESSAGE This Rustler will be the last published under the policies of the Ranchester Public Schools, District 33, Sheridan County, Wyoming. The next yearbook published by the students of this school will be governed by the policies of the newly organized School District 24. As Superintendent for the past ten years of School District 33, I have felt the need for an improved curriculum in high school, but this has not been economically possible due to the small enrollment; therefore, I have worked for an enlarged high school dis- trict with more high school students. To accomplish this end, I have encouraged the consolidation of the Dayton and Ranchester High Schools and the elementary schools served by them. During the past summer this consolidation was brought about with the formation of School District 24 by action of the boundary board. Although the Ranchester Schools are now part of District 24, they have continued to operate this year under the budget and policies of the old District 33. Next year the policies of the new district will be formulated and the yearbook will be governed by these new policies. To the Rustler of 1956, I wish to extend my congratulations on your successful growth. In 1946 you were just another yearbook among the yearbooks of the state, now you are among the leaders. In 1954 you were the All-State yearbook and in 1955 you were the runner-up. This is an excellent record, and may your successor keep up the good work. To the students of the Ranchester Public Schools, I bid you farewell, and in years to come as I turn the pages of my Rustlers I will look back on ten of the most enjoyable years of my career. In closing I wish to say, Welcome to our midst, District 24, and may you receive the same wonderful cooperation of your patrons which I have received from mine.

When school began last fall, nine students were enrolled as seniors. Dur- ing the first semester, Mrs. Helen Jackson and Mrs. Betty Bartlett withdrew from school. Marvell Turner joined us, making eight in the class. Class officers were elected on September 7, 1955. Those elected to of- fices were president Larry Cook, vice president Gary Brown, secretary Coralee Maluyrek, treasurer Barbara Addleman. The class sponsor is Mr. Lyman. An interesting event was chosing candidates for Homecoming Queen. Cora- lee Malyurek was elected as senior candidate. All of the seniors took part in Deadly Ernest, a three-act comedy held on December 10. Mr. Lyman took the juniors and seniors to a show at the Orpheum Theater, December 13, as a reward for their splendid co-operation before the play. Several public dances were sponsored during the year as a means of raising money to finance Sneak Day. Telephone directories were published for the Dayton-Ranchester area as an accommodation to the residents and as a means of raising money. � For their Sneak Day the seniors went to Denver, Colorado, during the last week of April. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman accompanied them on their trip. The highlight of the trip was the Ice Capades of 1956. Stars from three countries plus the incomparable Donna Atwood and the Specht-acular Bobby Specht participated in the Ice Capades. Peter Pan was performed for the first time on an ice arena. All senior girls and one senior boy are taking bookkeeping and business English taught by Mrs. Swanson. American history, taught by Mr. Peyton, is another subject which all of the seniors are taking. Other subjects taken by the seniors are advanced algebra, chemistry, homemaking, mechanical drawing, English IV and typing II. Last year, the junior class of 1955, chose The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies as their theme for the Prom. Large candy canes and a white picket fence added immensely to the stage. The hall was decorated with streamers of white, red, and pink crepe paper. Baccalaureate services were held May 13 and commencement exercises on May 16 at the Ranchester Community Hall. This ends twelve wonderful years of education for the Senior class of 1956. JUNIORS JACK FLEMING BOB LEWIS JACK PAULUS JEANETTE REIMERS EDDIE FIEDOR BANK OF COMMERCE MARCIA MASTERS ROBERT PRILL Sponsored by JOHNSTON LUMBER COMPANY JUNIOR NEWS This year the junior class has carried on many activities which have all proved to be very worthwhile and enjoyable. There were 13 students in our class to begin the year, with Ron Selig withdrawing from school in December to attend Casper High School. Although there was an unlucky number of mem- bers, we have considered ourselves one of the luckiest groups in high school. The juniors have all enrolled in a variety of subjects which were offered. Those included; English III, typing II, American history, bookkeeping, busi- ness English, chemistry, advanced algebra, shop, mechanical drawing and homemaking. At the first of the school year, we held class elections with the following results: president Donna Reynolds, vice president Robert Prill, secretary Jean- ette Reimers, treasurer Marcia Masters, and student council representatives Ron Selig and Pete Davis. Jack Paulus was later elected to take Ron's place on the student council. Mr. Schmidt was chosen by the class to be the sponsor. One of the things most looked forward to in the junior year, of course, is the ordering of the class rings. They were purchased from the Herff-Jones Co. in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are a combination of green and yellow gold with the Rustler emblem in green-gold, guarded on either side by raised num- bers showing the year of graduation. We were all thrilled to have them and are very proud of our class rings. As our class candidate for Homecoming Queen this year, we chose Marcia Masters. A bake sale and candy sale was held to help raise money for her campaign. Another event which proved to be fun was presented the Junior-Senior class play, Deadly Ernest, on December 10. Mr. Lyman was our director and Mrs. Schmidt was the make-up artist. Not all of the members were in the play, but they were all able to help in some way. To help finance our biggest event of the year, the '56 Prom, we had a very successful magazine campaign. In previous years, the whole high school had undertaken this project, but this year our class voted to sell these maga- zines and it helped our treasury very much. We put on the Junior-Senior Prom in honor of the Seniors near the end of our school year. As the class colors were blue and silver they were used in the theme. With the help of our sponsor, Mr. Schmidt, we have had one of our most successful years. SOPHOMORES I Allan Ellsbury Theresa Mortenson Georgia Kukuchka SOPHOMORE NEWS On the 7th of September eleven bright and smiling boys and girls entered the building. Their appearance showed that they were aiming to be the best sophomore class ever to enter Ranchester High School. Immediately I noticed an unfamiliar face. When introduced I learned the new girl was none other than Theresa Mortenson, from Frederic, Wisconsin. Shortly afterward I-noticed a boy who was familiar to almost everyone, Don Selig, from Casper. He later left us in December to attend Sheridan High School. When it came time to choose subjects almost every sophomore took biology taught by Mr. Peyton. The drawings and experiments help the students to leam more about plant and animal life. All the sophomores are enrolled in English U, taught by Miss Hansen. They have been studying grammar and literature. The girls took homemaking under the supervision of Mrs. Thompson. Some of the other subjects are algebra, shop, typing I and general business. A class meeting was called. The first on the list of tasks to accomplish was electing a class sponsor. By popular vote Mrs. Swanson was chosen. Class officers elected were president Nancy Masters, vice president Jack Miech, secretary Lynda Scott, treasurer Georgia Kukuchka, and student council repre- sentative Georgia Kukuchka. The red-letter date in October was the Homecoming game and dance. Each class chose a candidate for queen. Our nominee was Lynda Scott and to our de- light, she won! She was crowned queen at the half of the Ranchester—Hulett game, and was presented with a beautiful orchid. During the year the Sophomore students along with the rest of the student body attended several educational movies. They consisted of wild life, forestry, health, and other very interesting subjects. Before every game we, the students attended pep rallys held in the hall. They were led by our cheerleaders who have a fine variety of yells to add enthu- siasm to our student body. Everyone enjoyed the Mitchell Cain magician show given on February 9. It was attended by the grade school pupils, high school students, and those from the community who wished to come. Mr. Cain's acts of magic fascinated the group. Volunteers from the audience assisted him. The sophomores are all looking forward to their junior year when they will be the upper classmen. Barbara Miech Cleo Peterson John Fiedor Alixe Paulus Marilyn Moore Gary Kramer Alice Ellsbury Bill Pence FRESHMAN NEWS At long last we freshmen have taken the fateful step. After painting the R and participating in a picnic in Tongue River Canyon on September 9, we have become full-fledged high school students. We started the year with fifteen freshmen. Twelve of them came from the Ranchester Junior High and three came from rural schools. Bill Pence trans- ferred to Sheridan at the end of the first semester. Annette Malyurek was runner-up for Homecoming Queen. We had a lively time decorating cakes for our cake raffle, which we held to increase the votes for our nominee. The vim and vigor of the freshman class is exemplified by the fact that the three high school cheerleaders are freshmen girls -- Alice Ellsbury, Alixe Pau- lus, and Jacque Wilkinson. They have done an excellent job this year. The class officers are: president Jacque Wilkinson, vice president Barry Os- gard, secretary Marilyn Moore, treasurer Alixe Paulus, student council repre- sentatives Alice Ellsbury and Gary Kramer. The class sponsor is Mrs. Thompson. The freshmen girls enjoyed homemaking very much this year. The first semester we had units on Good Grooming, Sewing, and Child Care. The sec- ond semester we had units on Cooking, Sewing, Home Management, and Con- sumer Buying. • All the freshmen are taking English. Some are taking general business, biology, algebra, and typing. In typing the students took frequent timed writ- ings to show their improvement in speed and accuracy. They learned the prin- ciples of typing business and personal letters, along with other important items. A large percentage of the freshmen took algebra this year, under the super- vision of Mr. Lyman. They enjoyed the class very much. All the boys have a class in shop. The students learned how to use different tools and machines in completing several woodworking projects. All of the freshmen took part in some organization or activity. Nearly all of the freshman class joined F.T.A. Each student selected a teacher and grade with whom they wished to work. The freshmen were allowed two days a week to observe and assist with teaching. Our first year in high school has been a very enjoyable one, and we are looking forward to being sophomores next year.

Officers for the second semester were president Christy Cook, vice president James Dvorak, secretary Nancy Davis, treasurer Betty Williams. Our best-liked subject for the year was Science from which resulted many interesting art and experimental projects. Charles Birdie, a Future Teacher, gave us an interesting experiment on electricity. We gave a short play, A Day at School, on Talent night at the Community Hall on February 21. This play was sponsored by Marcia Masters. Donna Reynolds, and Mrs. Osgard. Several future teachers worked with us. These students not only helped us but also brought sunshine into our room.

Ten students went to Laramie on October 13, 1955. They were accompanied by Mrs. Swanson and Mr. Lyman. They attended journalism week-end, which is held an- nually so schools can meet and exchange ideas on how to improve their yearbooks and school papers. Club members who attended the journalism week-end also enjoyed a play, Dial M for Murder produced by the University, and the Wyoming-Tulsa football game.

Officers are as follows: president Coralee Malyurek, vice president Georgie Kukuch- ka, secretary Donna Reynolds, treasurer Marcia Masters, historian Gary Brown, reporter Lynda Scon, parliamentarian Barbara Addleman. Mrs. Wilkinson was elected sponsor and Mrs. Osgard co-sponsor. Mrs. Wilkinson resigned as a teacher; Mrs. Osgard be- came sponsor and Mrs. Swanson was elected co-sponsor. At the beginning of the year students were assigned to the different rooms where they wanted to teach. They assisted in teaching, making programs for their pupils to follow, and correcting papers. They are very helpful to the teachers and also learned valuable information. The chapter chose the first Wednesday of every month for their business meeting and social hour. After the meeting everyone joined in games after which refreshments were served by the committee in charge. The last week in March the chapter was invited to go to Dayton and tell them what F. T. A. represents. We hope we have interested more people in such a worthwhile organization. Everyone enjoyed the activities in F. T. A. We are looking forward to next year when we hope to have an even larger enrollment. Back row, left to right; J. Wilkinson, B. Miech, C. Peterson, P. Bocek, C. Malyurek, D. Reynolds, L. Scott, G.

Its purpose is to promote good sportsmanship and fair play. Our project of the year is taking charge of the homecoming game and dance which was held October 28, when we played the Hulett Red-Devils. Lynda Scott was crowned homecoming queen by the football captain, Larry Cook, and she was presented with a beautiful purple orchid. Her attendants, Annette Malyurek, Marcia Masters and Coralee Malyurek, received corsages of yellow rosebuds and were escorted to the center of the football field by John Puett, Robert Lewis and Bill Pence. After the crowning, the girls circled the field in a '55 Chevrolet convertible loaned by Ed Hammer, Inc., for the occasion and driven by one of their employees, Don Wolf. Each of the girls was dressed in a pastel ballerina-length formal. In the evening a home- coming dance was held in the Community Hall with all of the surrounding schools as guests. Officers elected for the year were as follows: president Larry Cook, vice president Pete Davis, secretary Jack Paulus, and treasurer Ron Selig.

GIRLS’ AND BOYS’ STATE It was more than wonderful” or It was something I will never forget” were the comments made by Coralee Malyurek, Larry Cook and Gary Brown when asked what they thought of Girls’ and Boys' State after returning home. Coralee was sponsored by the Ranchester Women's Club. Larry and Gary were spon- sored by the Ranchester-Dayton Rotary Club. Boys' State was held May 29 to June 4. Girls' State was held June 12-18. Both were held at Centennial, Wyoming. While at Girls' State, Coralee was elected sergeant-at-arms of the House of Repre- sentatives and County Treasurer. Larry was elected a file clerk in the Senate and was appointed to the Board of High- way Commissioners. Gary was appointed State Probation Officer. The bill which he drew up and sub- mitted to the Senate was the one that was debated at Cheyenne, Capitol Day, June 3, 1955. The above picture shows Coralee, Larry and Gary looking at Coralee's scrapbook which she made after returning home. Soon after their return home she gave a talk to the Womens' Club and Larry and Gary each gave a talk to the Rotary Club.

Mrs. Don Schmidt was make-up artist. In appreciation of their services Mr. Lyman was presented a pen and pencil set and Mrs. Don Schmidt was presented a liquid lead pencil by Larry Cook. The play was based on a young man named Henry, who had just lost everything and the world had turned against him. One day in the park he met a friend who said he would get him out of his misery if he would pay him $17. 83. The conclusion was that it was all a joke and Henry and his girl friend were married and lived happily ever after. Studeat Council is important in our school. Back row, left to right; B. Wolney, M.

PEP CLUB To begin the Ranchester Pep Club's activities for the year we held election of officers as follows; president Barbara Addleman, vice president Helen Jackson, secretary Betty Burgess, treasurer Coralee Malyurek, news reporter Marcia Masters. Mrs. Thompson was sponsor and Mrs. Swanson, assistant sponsor. As Helen Jackson and Betty Burgess vacated their offices. Donna Reynolds and Marvel Turner were elected respectively to fill these vacancies. Our cheerleaders for the year were Alixe Paulus. Alice Ellsubry and Jacque Wilkin- son, who, in uniforms consisting of felt circular skins and wool sweaters in the school colors, purple and gold, led an enthusiastic cheering section at the football and basket- ball games. In order to attend the district tournament at Gillette we planned several projects to help finance our trip. These projects included several bake sales, and Christmas cor- sages which we made and sold. We also sold pop, candy, and popcorn at the ball games. Of course, the tournament was the climax of our Pep Club year; this year proved to be all we had expected in the way of fun and excitement. Sponsored by C.
