Roundup High School - Rodeo Yearbook (Roundup, MT)

Text from Pages 1 - 84 of the 1953 volume:

« Another school year has gone by with its usual victories and disappointments. The journalism staff has tried to compile all the events and activities of this 1952-1953 school term in a complete and interesting manner. This year is, as is any school year, worthy of remembrance. If these pictures and words bring memories to you, then this RODEO is a success.

To our teachers, the townspeople, the student body, and anyone who reads this annual and finds a memory we, the staff, dedicate the 1952-1953 RODEO to As we turn the pages of this yearbook, memories of our school days return again. Some memories will be brighter or some faces will stand out more clearly be- cause we all have our special friends and interests. We worked hard this year you. WA- i 4 Zke Staff Left to right.

A WORD OF APPRECIATION Members of the Journalism Staff, the students, the faculty and I wish to thank you and your advisor for the completion of another pic- torial record of a successful school year. The task would have been challenging enough had it been done during the regular class periods. But, our schedule did not permit the inclusion of a course in journal- ism and, therefore, all of the work incidental to collecting and ed- iting the material was done on your own time and outside of school hours. Your perseverance, loyalty and zeal for perfection are highly commendable and even though it may appear that we, the students and teachers, are the primary beneficiaries of your efforts, in reality the inner satisfaction you are enjoying for a job well done far outweighs the pleasure we may derive from reviewing your contribution to the history of the Roundup High School. In addition to this temporary feeling of pride, you have gained permanent values that will assist you in whatever difficult assignments the future may hold in store for you. C. .W.

JOAN WERNER Who can be wise, annoyed, tem- perate and furious Loyal and neutral, in a moment? Class We, the seniors of 1953 of the Roundup High School, of the city of Roundup, county of Musselshell, and state of Montana, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament; hereby revoking all will or wills heretofore made by us. A. We, the following designated seniors of the 1952-1953 class, do devise, will and be- queath to the following designated underclassmen, or otherwise, the following: First: Nan Rom wills her position with the Three Musketeers to any girl who thinks Second: she can fill it. Jim Key leaves his acting ability to Bob Felix. May he become another Sara Bernhardt. Third: Pattie Jo Lind leaves her baton and position as majorette to Ray Birkett to Fourth: twirl at basketball games as he can’t play basketball anyway. ” Larry Bickle leaves his thick, black, naturally curly hair to Kathy O’Neill. Larry's toni home permanent look is the envy of all the girls, but he Fifth: especially wants Kathy to have it. Jerry Pratt leaves his impressive size to Steve Siemion and hopes he'll use it Sixth: to advantage. Pat Moss leaves all her addresses at Rocky Mountain College to Rosemary Shields. Seventh: Carl Firm leaves his mathematical ability to Art Sanders in hopes that Art Eighth: will use it and be eligible for football next year. Joan Werner leaves her hair cutting ability, shears, bowl, and determination to Celia Ryan. Ninth: Jerry Robson leaves the Turkey Tail of his hair-do to Frank Polsak. He doubts that it will look too well with Frank's crew-cut, but he still wants him to have it. Tenth: Eleventh: Don Nelson leaves his position as center to Bobby McKeen. Norma Nesheim leaves the parking place at school which was willed to her to Bob Brown and his scotter. She hopes he will be able to park it without Twelfth: denting any fenders. Chuck McKeen wills half of his woman hating tendencies to Larry Pratt for future use. Thirteenth: John Fisco leaves his leg injury to anyone who isn't planning to play foot- ball next season. Fourteenth: Fifteenth: Lois Jorgenson leaves whatever she has to anyone who can stand it. Delmar Cross wills the first coat hanger on the end to Pat Turley. This hanger was willed to Delmar, and he hopes Pat will pass it on to some Sixteenth: deserving boy. Leroy Newton might leave his ability to work when he wants to, but assures Seventeenth: us he isn't leaving Delores to anyone. The senior class leaves two rows of empty seats to the class of 1954, its memories to all the students we have gone to school with, and its Blessing to all those students yet to come. Class Prophecy ------FLASH---------We interrupt this program to bring this latest news bulletin--the cosmic space ship S. S. Hotrod, ’’ designed by that noted U. S. mechanical wizard, Leroy Newton, has taken off on its initial trip to Mars. As we hear Leroy’s name announced over the radio system inside our space ship, we thought of the many classmates of bygone years and wondered what they were doing. Traveling through space gave us ample time to ponder. Unconsciously my hand flicked the dial of our television set (music helps me think) and then—it happened. A clap of thunder, a burst of lightning, and our screen showed a large lecture hall seating many people who apparently were very much absorbed in the speaker, Patricia Joyce Lind. She was speaking on heredity versus environment, and she still maintains environment doesn't influence intelligence. Pat has even started a political party called Tnemnorivne T'nia Gnihtyreve. This is environment ain't everything spelled backwards. We remember Pat arguing about this, but we didn't think she was serious! We didn't agree with everything Pat said, so we flipped the dial still in search of music. Woops! We passed up something. We hurriedly turned back to this well-built specimen of manhood, and whom should we see but Larry Bickle. Larry is being crowned Mr. America by Charles Atlas, who has lost this honor to another man with an even more perfect build. We heard Larry explain to a reporter half hidden by a press card that he owes it all to clean living. As we peered into the screen, the re- porter disgustedly threw his hat (press card and all) on the floor; and we recognize Chuck McKeen. We put in a planet to planet call to Chuck. He is surprised to hear from us, but he has even more surprising news for us. He has just received the Pulitzer Prize for his controversial article Women--luxury or necessity? which was published in the New York Times. He is a reporter for the New York Times and has been offered a job as associate editor. We wished him luck and told him to be sure and tell his wife and family hi for us. Chuck told us that Pat Moss had just won the Mother of the Year award. She married a serviceman, and they decided to raise their own private army. He said her children had to get up 15 minutes early in order to be ready for roll call. Her oldest son, Percival, ran away and Pat didn't miss him for some time. Seems he heard Pat speak of her classmate Jerry Robson, who owns the famous Sagebrush stable. Percival wanted to be a jockey, and he decided it would save a lot of trouble to start at the top instead of working up. Jerry is famous for his friendly good nature and his readiness to lend a hand to any newcomer. In fact, his horse Maroon Panther, the Kentucky Derby favorite, was a fugitive from the bone factory when Jerry rescued him. He recharged Maroon Panther with a Permalife battery (another of Leroy's inventions), and now he's as good as new. We still haven't heard any music, so we change the dial again. The result is a blur of faces, but we finally manage to distinguish Jerry Pratt and Carl Firm industriously working with a ruler, a compass, and a protractor in a handsome workshop. Jerry is an electrical engineer, and he's trying to convince Carl that if he sticks a screw driver in a light socket, he'll get shocked. Carl is a mrthematician, and he says according to his calculations this won't happen. It seems to us the logical way to prove this is for Carl to stick the screw driver into the socket, but Carl isn’t having any. We listened to Carl and Jerry chatter, and we discovered that Carl has taken Einstein's place at Harvard. Jerry has graduated from Butte School of Mines with honors. They are the owners of the new manufacturing company,Admiral Automatic, which worked out the details on Leroy Newton’s S. S. Hotrod. Their new company was just getting its start, and Leroy decided to help them along and let them build his space ship. Leroy had been successful with his Permalife battery, and he didn't forget his classmates when they needed him. Just then Jerry stabbed Carl with the compass, and the sound that came from Carl was anything but musical. Needless to say, we flipped the dial again. We saw a doctor's office before us with Joan Werner, Child Specialist on the door. The door opened by remote control, and we saw a small brunette child, her mother, and Joan earnestly discussing something. Being naturally curious, we leaned forward to hear an amazing conversation. Joan is ex- plaining to the mother that her daughter, Barbara, should have her hair bleached or dyed. Joan says very often a brunette child develops a complex about her hair that may cause permanent injury to her attitude toward life. She is saying that everyone knows that Gentlemen prefer blonds, and it is a disadvantage to a small child to make her face life as a brunette. We remember Joan always wanted to be a blond, but we hoped she'd get over it. Apparently she hasn't. By now we are used to changing radio stations, and so we push buttons right and left until we see something that looks interesting. A big office looms into view, and we see it is the office of the Business Manager for a famous interior decorator. The Business Manager walks into the office, and we are agree- ably surprised to see Delmar Cross. He crosses to a desk that seems to be snowed under with papers. Delmar looks at drawings, and we shift dials until we are peering over his shoulder at the drawings also. These drawings are sketches of fashions, and they look very interesting to us. Delmar scratches his head, throws his hands up in disgust and yells, Lois! In trots his smiling blond secretary. We stare at the screen for a moment wondering what Lois Jorgenson is doing here. She takes in the messy desk and be- wildered Delmar all in one glance. Then she calmly walks around to the wastepaper basket and says, All right, make up your mind which picture we publish, or I'll throw them all away. ” As Delmar decides on a picture, we glance over at Lois again. (Several of us haven't glanced away yet.) She smiles at Delmar and says, Sometimes I wonder why I ever took this job. It's awfully hard to manage you, my husband and family and still not be a nervous wreck. As Lois didn't look as if she were heading for a nervous breakdown, we left her in search of our other classmates. We weren't in a mood for music anyhow, because we’d stumbled on-the opening night performance of Eighteenth Winter. This play had been touring the east for 18 months and now was opening on Broadway. The matinee idol, Jim Key, who is Rudolph Valentino, John Barrymore and Ronald Coleman rolled into one heads another all-star cast. His press notices said he got his start in Seventeenth Summer when he was a senior at Roundup High School. Jim's first entrance draws a standing ovation which seems to last indefinitely. All the clapping bothered our pilot, so we changed to a very quiet, orderly hospital room where Norma Nesheim, a nurse, is adjusting the window shades for the patient, John Fisco. John is in the hospital trying to regain his strength after a trip around the world. He is a well known man about the universe and is convalescing after his strenuous trip. Norma is head nurse in this hospital, and she seems to be enjoying her work. As we have only two other classmates left to wonder about, we know they'll show up sooner or later. We aren't disappointed, for we tune into an exciting basketball game at Madison Square Garden featuring Don's Universal Stars and the Harlem Globetrotters. Pacing the floor and pulling his crew-cut for all he's worth is Don Nelson. Don is coaching his basketball team, and they are trying for their third universal championship. We know Don's Stars will win; it's getting late, and we are ready for some soothing music. We are lucky, and we find ourselves in theCopa Cobana watching Nan Rom walk out onto the stage ana prepare to sing. She is the featured torch singer here and is very popular with the Copa's patrons. We listen and soon our feet are tapping to the beat of the music, and we're leaning back in our chairs and relaxing. This night club scene gradually fades away, and our spaceship surges onward into the night carrying with it our thoughts of another graduating senior class. May Queen On May 15 Pat Moss was crownec Queen of the May. The program honoring the queen consisted of performances by the bant and twirlers. Awards for school work and extra-curricular activities were given. Pat was elected by the student body from the six senior girls. The other five girls were Lois Jorgenson, Joan Werner, Nan Rom, Pat Lind, and Norma Nesheim.

Vespers Senior Vesper Service was held, May 24, at 5:00 in the high school auditorium. A short prelude to worship was played by Sharon O'Neill after which followed the processional march by the high school band and the entrance of the seniors. The call to worship was given by Larry Bickle followed by the scripture and prayer by Joan Werner. The seniors were led in the Senior Ritual by Pattie Jo Lind. Lois Jorgenson intro- duced the speaker for the afternoon, Jim Key, who gave the Vesper address Flaming Faith. The presentation of the light was given by Jerry Pratt, senior class president, and the response by Claudia Flecther, junior class president. Nan Rom then closed the service by leading the benediction. The girls’ chorus and mixed chorus provided two very appropriate numbers, Veni Jesu and The Lord Bless You and Keep You. The service ended witn the seniors marching out to the music of the high school band. Seniors seated left to right: Carl Firm, Don Nelson, Nan Rom, Jerry Robson, Jerry Pratt, Pat Moss, Joan Werner, Larry Bickle, Lois Jorgensen, Delmar Cross, Leroy Newton, Norma Nesheim, John Fisco, Jim Key, Charles McKeen and Pat Lind. Graduation The Roundup High School Commencement Exercise was held Thursday, May 28, at 8:00 P. M. in the high school auditorium. The sixteen seniors marched in to the processional, Pomp and Circumstance, played by the high school band. Thee God we Praise was sung by the high school mixed chorus. Mr. Larry H. Dugan, Vice President of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad Company, gave an address entitled A Challenge. The high school chorus presented another number The Halls of Ivy. Mr. Koehnke was the director of the band and chorus. Mr. C. W. Baum, Superintendent of Schools, presented the class and Mr. S. A. Seitz, Chairman of the Board of Education, made the presentation of diplomas. The seniors marched out to the recessional played by the high school band. Seniors seated left to right: Jerry Pratt, Carl Firm, Nan Rom, Lois Jorgensen, Jim Key, Jerry Robson, Pat Moss, Don Nelson, Leroy Newton, Larry Bickle, Norma Nesheim, Charles McKeen, Delmar Cross, John Fisco, Pat Lind, and Joan Werner. Snatches of Pomp and Circumstance float up to the ears of a waiting senior class. In a few moments the band will stop warming up, and we'll all be lined up and ready to go. As we look around us at our classmates, we realize that for us the high school days are over. It hardly seems possible that we won't be in fourth period study hall or sociology any more. Most of us are thinking the same things because our eyes are a little misty, and we are strangely quiet. We gather in small groups or just stand around talking. It's funny that every sentence starts with a Remember when” and ends with a wasn't that fun? We stand listening to these remarks, and all the memories of our four years at Roundup High School come back------ ------Our freshman initiation, the bowing to our”senior masters, the big stage initiation, and the painting of the R, We were very thrilled to be in high school, and we made quite a showing of ourselves. The boys in our class were intramural basketball champs, and were we proud! Our first attempt at entertaining was a successful Valentine Dance. We were a little sorry to see school end that year---- ------We were adjusted to high school by this time and not at all awed by seniors. Our seats were a little closer to the windows. We had become accustomed to looking on the bulletin board for notices, and once in a while we were even brave enough to put a joke on this bulletin board. Our biology picnic was a big event, and we really enjoyed it. We'd moved up a little in band and had even learned to sight read in chorus. We were proud of our accomplishments and looked forward to next year when----- ----------Now we were upperclassmen at last. We had a lot to do that year, and we did every- thing in a big way. Some of our classmates were on the A squad In basketball; our team went to State that year, and we were really thrilled. The salesman came to help us choose our class rings. Our junior prom theme was Oriental Gardens, and it was a huge success. We even had three class picnics that year because we'd ordered too much food for the first one. Naturally it rained all three times, but we still had fun. We decorated the stage for vespers and commence- ment and dreamed of the time when------- ------The time had come at last; we're seniors, and we had class rings to prove it. We did a bang up job on initiation, one the freshmen and seniors will long remember. We were first chairs in band, experienced singers in chorus, leaders in our clubs, and so many activities it was hard to count them all. We had our pictures taken and ordered our announcements and cards. The prom was lovely, and we knew it had to be for this was our last high school prom. High School Week was wonderful, and we left college with a desire to return next fall as students. We still didn't realize our high school days were over until last Sunday at vespers. As we sat there, we realized that we wouldn't be seeing our classmates much longer. We looked around at the faces that had become so familiar to us, and just then the music started- - Pomp and Circumstance. Another senior class marched slowly down the aisle and prepared to become just another picture in the hallway and a fleeting memory that lasts only a moment. found studying but probably They might have been sitting around discussing world affairs (?) or .... .....they might have just been standing around.

Girls' State is held at Rocky Mountain College in Billings every June and provides girls from all over the state with experience in city, state, and national government. Nancy V'Dovec was elected alternate this year. Dale Hougardy was chosen as Roundup High School's delegate to Boys' State to be held in Dillon during the last week in August. Candidates are chosen on a basis of scholastic ability, leadership and personal character. The delegation from RHS is being sponsored by the Rotary Club of Roundup. Frank Polsak was chosen as alternate in the event of Hougardy's inability to attend. FRANK POLSAK - Alternate Our orchestra plays while we dance. The Grand March begins. Claudia Fletcher and Jerry Pratt as King and Queen of the Mardi Gras also led the Grand March as presidents of their respective Junior and Senior classes. The balloons descending upon the dancers and the merriment of throwing confetti upon each other made the prom seem like the real Mardi Gras. After entering the dance floor through the dragon’s mouth and turning to stare at it, we wondered how we would leave as we never would have entered that way if we had known we were in a dragon. Standing near the clown's head it looked like it had teeth, but from a distance..... Our heralds watch the gaiety The idea of having heralds announce each couple as they entered was very original, but some of the people blushed as their names were announced. The dancers enjoy themselves. With the sidewalk cafe and the sky over the the dance floor you could almost imagine that you were out-of-doors. When everyone had their masks on during the Grand March, you couldn't tell one per- son from the other. The variety of colors of the formals made the March a colorful event. Balloons fell, confetti was thrown, music was played, and we danced, and danced, and danced, and danced.............. The clown smiles at the dancers. Although the junior class is a class of geniuses, like everyone else, they have their out- standing and peculiar traits. As we travel through the halls of RHS and glance at the juniors, we learn a little about each one. Perhaps on looking them over the most striking thing to catch your eye would be Barbara Meyer with her crewy louie hair cut. She shows so many boys up, it isn't even lady-like, but if you know Barb you know that she doesn't care to be lady-life. I suppose that if you saw Barb first you couldn't help but see Bette next. Bette is a perfectly normal girl except that she likes horses so much and is with them so often, she has begun to resemble a horse. Another great horse woman is Janivee Smith. Each day she can be seen riding on her horse around town or out in the country. If she loved school as much as she loves her horse, maybe we would see more of Janivee. Of course that big group of girls that you see every 2nd and 8th study hall roaming the school or studying together, fighting, gossiping, crying, or praising each other, of course would be Marcia Conway, Donna Riley Joy Kilby, Nancy V'Dovec, Dot Rech, Anna Lekse and Jo Anne Wise. They seem to share each others troubles and help fight each other's battles. They appear to be a nice innocent group, but as they say What you don't know won't hurt you. We'd still rather think of them as a nice innocent group of fun-loving girls, so that's how we'll remem- ber them. Like any other class the juniors have their share of athletes. When you think of basketball players, you usually think of them in the six-foot category, and football players are usually distinguished by their broad shoulders. The best examples of these are Bob Skagen and Carl Langsather. Bob, the tallest boy in the junior class, is one of the school's distinguished basket- ball players. Where you see Bob you usually see Carl, and talking about shoulders, have you seen Carl lately? If we had about ten more Carls, we could beat Central; after all, it took a hammer to give him a black eye. Frank Polsak would probably catch your eye immediately after you realized that that bright glow was his red hair and not a stop light. He's proud of that flash of hair and the envy of every kid in high school. He also uses it as a special weapon to blind his opponents on the basketball court. Right behind Poly would be the two idiots of the class, Ray Birkett and Bill Seitz. Ray's a little peculiar because he imagines himself to be a monkey. Bill is not quite that odd, but he must be a little off to go around with a monkey, don't you think? Dale Hougardy, a special friend of the three idiots just mentioned (though not quite as idiotic), is noted for his fine voice. At least it is different. Dale is a member of our famed boys' quartette which knows all of two songs. He is quite a musician, playing the bass in the band. There he gets his talent of oomph pahing, which comes in handy for singing bass in the chorus.

After getting the money, I had to run back to school as I didn't want to be late for my stand- ardized tests. The year certainly went fast for us. It seemed as though every week we were having six weeks tests. We had a lot of fun going to all the school dances and football games. We enjoyed the basketball season also. Next year as more of our classmates are the stars we'U probably root even harder. Just think, next year we'll be big juniors and won't have to watch so care- fully for the seniors because they like to pick on the sophomores and freshmen. We will also be a few rows closer to the windows and pretty soon we won't have to strain our eyes trying to look out of them. We'll even be able to join the Quill and Scroll next year, instead of just being able to work on the Rodeo and the Panther Parade. Maybe even Mr. Agte won't say, Do this and do that just because I'm a sophomore working on the paper. The Sophomore dance was sure fun. (And probably the best of the year- but then we may be prejudiced.) Especially we liked the decorating part of it. A few of the kids just about fell off the ladders, but I don't think it would have hurt them. We even had the privilege of decorating the stage for the May Queen. The silver and aqua paper set off the Queen's dress nicely. We think we did a nice job for only having a few days to do it. Of course, our big job will be the Prom next year. Goodness! Mr. Rooley just told me I'm going to get an A in World History and I was very surprised. He seemed to be surprised also. Now if Mr. Livers in Geometry or Mr. Haagenson in Biology would come through with A's then I would be really overwhelmed. Well, now that my book fine has been paid and my report card has been handed to me, I guess I'll go home. See you next year.

He did quite well despite the dis- tracting influence of sagging diapers. Oh, Bob, don't you know every- one is watching you? It's a good thing Bob Kelly isn't bashful or he would develop an inferiority complex. All through the summer you could see freshmen running whenever a senior appeared. These freshmen had a lot of fun dodging the seniors, and the seniors had just as much fun sneaking up on the freshmen. The highlight of the freshman initiation was the stage program held in the auditorium. Here the freshmen were put through their paces by a group of very helpful seniors. The freshmen took It's an old trick, but a good one. We wonder what will happen when Bill Field and Jeanette Langsather finally reach the doughnut. everything in their stride--the snake line down town, the millions of times they had to bow, the gobs of lipstick applied at ran- dom all over their faces, and the warnings not to comb or brush their hair until after the program. All of them had a swell time with few regrets. To those who do regret it, we add that someday you’ll be a senior too. Jreskmaa Class Views Gee, we finally made it! At long last we're real, genuine, full-fledged Freshmen! It's a wonderful feeling! That is, it's wonderful until the seniors get busy with initiation. You know, that bowing, lipstick, green dye and lim- t burger cheese can get pretty bad after awhile. But the Big Thing was the stage initiation--we really had a few objects that would send Ripley's Believe It or Not right out of business. For instance, where can you see Siamese twins (Celia and Delia Ryan), and a boy making love to his girl--or was it a girl making love to her boy--( ??) at the same time? Strangest thing about it is that the boy and the girls bear a remarkable resemblance to Bob Felix. All this and a parade of bathing beauties, too--Francis Turley, Bob Kelly and Bob McKeen? Boy, what a bargain! The best part of the whole affair, though, was the Frosh Mixer given by the seniors at the end of initiation. Just ask anybody. If we thought that we were busy during initiation, you should have seen us after we pitched into a routine of study, athletics, work and play. A lot of the fellows made the B squad basketball team--there was Larry Pratt and Bob Kelly and Dick Palagyi and just a lot of guys. And then, too, we had our own cheerleaders. Rosemary, Vaii Jo and Mary Louise were chosen as B squad cheerleaders and they did a wonderful job of cheering the boys on to a very successful season. We had our share of aspiring majorettes, too, and no matter what, we think that they did a pretty good job of baton handling. In every class there has to be some brains and our class was no exception. We had our share, too. Why Packy Gillen, Thomas Iverson and Delia Ryan even got pins at the awards assembly for being on the honor roll for five of the six weeks periods. We've some claim to acting talent, also. Why, Mrs. Hulstone picked Rosemary Shields to play the part of Kitty Morrow in the Senior Play no less! We've heard it said that she even stole the show from the star but we'U be generous and give Lois credit for a great job of acting. The most surprising discovery this year was that the Class of 56 was a group of budding poets. Thomas Iverson, better known as the Skyhook Kid became famous for his odes to his Cowtown Gal. The Freshman Dance ended the year's activities and it was reputed to be the best social event of the year aside from the Prom of course; maybe the seniors were a little bit prejudiced since they were the guests of honor at both affairs. Well that about does it. Now we're on our way to our sophomore year. We've had a lot of fun this year even with initiation and we're hoping that we can have as much fun next vear and all the years to come.

(Continued) As our eyes wander around hunting for more juniors, we spot Jack Shields. Jack's crew cut is the only one in high scnool that looks like wheat blowing in the wind. He is always running his fingers through his hair, which makes it look even more unruly. In contrast to Jack's short hair is Claudia Fletcher's long hair. She doesn't have to worry about what she wears, because her hair goes halfway down her back. Even in a pony’s tail, it's longer that anyone else's. As we journey into study hall, we spot some more juniors, Catherine Kowalczyk is the first one we see. She is one of the hardest workers, and can always be counted on to do her best on every job. And the little timid girl in the corner who never says a word would be Violet Keosky. She seetns to take life as it comes and will let life take her without a word if it wants to. Those two quiet” looking boys are Anthony Many and Bill Field. Anthony is one boy who looks innocent and unexcitable, but wait until you get to know him. Boy, what a little devil! With Anthony you usually see Bill Field. He is another boy who appears to be calm and quiet, but is really a meany. What a personality! Bill draws a lot of admiring glances from the girls, and we don't blame them. A quick journey down to the band room would reveal many students industriously playing their horns. Of these students Agnes McKenna shows up very outstandingly. If there is a squeak, everyone automatically shifts his eyes to Agnes, sheepishly hiding there behind her squeak stick. Who is the most argumentative kid in high school? Who tries to out-argue Mr. Rooley everyday in American History? None other than our own Donna Askwig. Mr. Rooley usually makes a statement which is immediately followed by a, No argument, Donna? She isn't the only one who likes to argue. Leon Stalcup usually has an argument or two, especially when anyone says a mean word against Ike. Of course if you wander into chemistry lab, you can’t miss Sharon O'Neill. She's the dark-haired girl who is arguing with Mr. Haagensen. The only thing that changes is the subject they are discussing, because Sharon and Mr. Haagensen can always find something to disagree on. Listen, what was that noise we just heard? Wait! There is another, but this one is the exact opposite of the first. We gather that they were both laughs. The first was a deep rumble that sounded like Haaa! Haaa! Sounded like it came from a bass. The second sounded more like a tenor. It went Heee! Heee! We didn't even have to wait until the owners of these laughs came around the corner, because we could distinguish the laughs of Jim Ford and Jerry Hamilton anywhere. Jean Ann Bowman would probably meet your eye last because she probably wouldn't get here until you'd looked over everyone else. She is one of those fortunate souls who has the talented knack of being late for everything she attends--especially school. After we have looked over the entire Junior Class, you will have to agree that they are one of the most distinguished classes ever to go through Roundup High School. You probably best remember the freshmen as they looked during initiation. They And these pictures are the way that we hope you will remember them. Seated counter-clockwise are R. Rech, Freshman President, R. Birkett, Junior Repres- entative, C. Firm, Senior Representative, J. Pratt, Senior President, J. Fisco, Student Body Chairman, D. Mikel, Freshman Representative, C. Fletcher, Junior President, B. Myer, Junior Representative, B. Jackovich, Sophomore President, and J, Werner, Senior Representative. Not pictured is C. Cunningham, Sophomore Representative. Student Council The Student Council is composed of eleven members, four are class presidents, two are elected from the two lower classes, and four are elected from the two upper classes. These ten nominated candidates for Student Body Chairman, and the school then elected John Fisco as Chairman. Mr. Baum served as ad- visor. Other officers elected by the council were Barbara Meyer, Vice President and Joan Werner, Secretary-Treasurer. The purpose of the Student Council is to promote a better relationship and understanding between the students and the faculty. This year the constitution was revised to give the student council more definite powers. These powers included establishing library regulations and managing School Spirit Week. Band The concert band pictured below under the direction of Robert M. Koehnke has per- formed at two concerts and the Music Festival this year. Out of this group was carved the pep band which played at the ball games and also traveled out of town to perform, and the marching band. This band put on an exhibition which showed their skill in making formations as well as their ability to play their instruments. The students who participate in these groups have practiced long and hard to achieve the quality of music enjoyed by all. Left to right, first row; C. Fletcher, L. Lindstrand, C. Cornish, P. Funk, J.

Qitls ’ Qlee Club The Roundup High School's Girls' Glee this year has a membership of twenty girls. They meet three times weekly to practice their exer- cises, scales, and many songs. So far the girls are accredited with one performa nee--the Christmas Concert. This year they have spent many hours working out songs in A Cappella style. Pat Lind has been accompanist for this year. The girls will participate in the annual Music Festival held in Billings May 9, 1953. The thirty-eight voice mixed chorus under the direction of Robert M. Koehnke partic- ipated in the annual Christmas concert, spring concert, music festival held at Billings, and the traditional vespers and commencement services. It has presented a variety of songs both A Cappella and accompanied. The mixed chorus has maintained a high quality of performance that we have come to expect of them.

AH School Play JUNIOR MISS, the first dramatic performance of the year, was presented by an all- high-school cast under the direction of Mrs. Carrie Hulstone the evening of November 7. The top flight performance of everyone concerned with the play deserves a big bouquet of orchids. Congratulations on a job well done!

The play was The Florist Shop. Although the kids didn't carry off the prize in a repeat performance of last year, we think they did a fine job anyway. Those composing the cast were: J. Wise as Miss Wells, R. Felix as Mr. Jackson, C. Firm as Mr. Slovsky, V. Cartwright as Maude, and R. Rech as Henry. The stage crew consisted of L. Bickle, B. Murphey, F. Nies, K. O'Neill, L. Lindstrand and A. Lekse. Senior Play Pictured left to right are: Don Nelson - Fitz; Jerry Pratt - Tony; Pat Moss - Margie; Nan Rom - Lorraine; Jerry Robson - Martin; Rosemary Shields - Kitty; Jim Key - Jack; Pat Lind - Mrs. Morrow; Lois Jorgensen - Angie; Delmar Cross - Art; Carl Firm - Mr. Morrow; Joan Werner - Jane; and Norma Nesheim - Margaret. Seventeenth Summer” was presented by the seniors and one freshman under the able direction of Mrs. Carrie Hulstone on the evening of April 17. Telling the story of the life and first love of Angie Morrow in her seventeenth summer was Lois Jorgensen in the title role assisted by Jim Key as the co-star. These two were ably supported by the rest of the cast to give a fine all-round performance. All wish to give thanks to the stage crew who helped make the production possible. The cast and stage crew presented a gift to Mrs. Hulstone as a token of their appreciation. iMmHHfwi-MTmmmmm Left to right: A. Moss, M, Merhar, M. Flohr, S. Allen, L. Rom, D. Sanders, B. Lowery, S.

Zumblers Amid many spills, flops, aches, and pains the 1953 Roundup Tumbling Team put on many thrilling performances for the enthusiastic crowds at the basketball games. The girls worked hard one evening each week under the supervision of Miss Imo Jeane Raymetz to produce these enter- taining performances of pyramids, dives and stunts that displayed much talent both individually and as a group. • Zwirlers The largest twirling squad in the history of R. H. S. strutted their way to fame during the 1952-1953 season. The girls purchased new uniforms during the season and were also seen in new polar bear fur hats. Several candy sales were held to raise money. The highlight of the year, however, was the Twirlers Dance enjoyed by all. The majorettes performed at several home games as well as two out of town trips to Worden and Forsyth. New twirls and marches were introduced to produce variety. The conclusion of their success came about at their final performance on May Day when they saluted the queen. Pictured from left to right, back row: M. Merhar, A. McKenna, M. Kozeliski, S.

Pep Squad The pep club reorganized with Miss Koenig, sponsor; Pat Lind, president; and Claudia Fletcher, secretary-treasurer. The girls have really done a wonderful job this year by giving the players and cheer- leaders a lot of support. To raise money, they sold concessions at the football games. With part of the money, white shirts were bought so they would be recognized as a separate organization at the games. To summarize, these are the aims they have fulfilled: 1. To create friendly spirit among all the girls with the same interests. 2. To promote a good sportsmanship code for others. 3. To co-operate with all school activities. 4. To provide entertainment for sport fans during games and pep meetings. 5. To meet with the cheerleaders and practice the yells. 6. To boost RHS at all times. Pictured from left to right: Chuck McKeen, Lois Jorgenson, Joan Werner, Claudia Fletcher, Sharon O'Neill, Mr. Milton H. Agte and Norma Nesheim. Quill and Scroll was reorganized this year in Roundup High. It is an international honorary society of high school journalists. To belong to this organization you have to be in the upper twenty per-cent of your class, be recommended by your advisor, and be a junior or senior. This year six students were eligible to belong to this organization. They received pins as recognition of their membership. B SQUAD Rosemary Shields Mary Louise Merhar Vavi Jo Mohar Cheer JCeaders This year the cheerleaders of Roundup High School, ably assisted by the pep club, have turned out one of the finest performances seen in many years. These girls have shown their ability at every game whether at home or out-of- town. Their variety of outfits have added color to the game, and the addition of many new yells has shown the true spirit of the girls. Much praise goes to the B” squad cheerleaders for the marvelous job they did in supporting our B team. It is sure that everyone will want to voice their praise for the fine job done this year, and we all hope that next year's cheer- leaders will have the pep and zeal of these girls.

The Girls Athletic Association with Miss Raymetz as sponsor again attained a lead as one of the prominent social organizations around R. H. S. The purpose of their associa- tion is to promote more interest in sports and to broaden their knowledge of them. Throughout the year they participated in the following sports--basketball, volleyball, and badminton. Captains were chosen to represent their respective teams. The highlight of the year was the game against Klein. An all-star team was chosen to represent Roundup. The game was played on the home floor with Roundup being victorious. The competition in this sport of volleyball was very keen. A LITHOGRAPHED 7CUffotrtK de YEARBOOK DALLAS • TEXAS
