The group consists of Caroline Gallant, Pat Beaton, Luanne Holmden, Julie Bondi. Colleen Larson, and Cathy Storm, Accompanist. The Madrigal is an Octette singing both popular and religious selections unaccompanied. All students in Madrigal are also members of the A Cappella Choir of S.H.S. THE MADRIGAL Members of Madrigal are: Dave McIntosh, Dick Dickinson, Jon Landeen, Gene Buck, Diane Schunk, Martha Terry, Dixie Holsin-ger, and Patty Montgomery. Why so happy?????? What a waste of time!

We hope it will present all, and not just one phase of the year gone by. We decided to call it “These Moments to Remember ...” This is your story! A story you have made possible by going to this, your high school. We hope that through these next pages we do justice to the things that you have participated in. Enjoy your “Bronc 56” and treasure it in later years. Sharon and Steve )1 rxOt V'wA S'to-'X, 6 Co-Editors Proudly we hold in recognition all those who have made Sheridan High School a revered memory. 7 Sheridan Public Schools Sheridan, Wyoming To the Students of S.H.S. Somewhere among the youth of your generation are minds capable of accomplishing the century old goal of mankind. The combined wisdom of the present generation has been capable of splitting the atom, but we have yet to find minds capable of discovering ways to world peace, ways to deeper and more fulfilling lives, ways to new appreciations of beauty in art or literature or music. Ours is a dangerous age, but it is the business of the future to be dangerous for the danger also produces the challenges. The great ages of mankind have been the unstable ages, calling for the best. We sincerely hope that we have given you the opportunity in your years at S.H.S. to break through the thought barrier so that you can realize to the fullest your creative potentiality in coping with the challenges of your time. Best wishes. SUPERINTENDENT KARL D. BELL Our Principal Speaks Today a thousand doors of enterprise are open to you, inviting you to useful work. We, the staff of Sheridan High School, hope we have in a small way helped you to prepare yourselves to open one of these doors. It is our job to teach you how to open them. We cannot do this without your co-operation at all times. Remember always that it takes more than book knowledge to become an educated person. We as your teachers and advisors are trying in everything we do to help you to learn citizenship, to have respect for others and for their property, to be honest, and truthful. These you must also have in order to be an educated person and a good American. “Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done, whether you like it or not.’ And then do it to the best of your ability and knowledge. Remember—life does not stand still. PRINCIPAL Dickinson State Teacher’s College, B.A. University of North Dakota, M.S. CLARA WEST Secretary OFFICE HELP Joan Martini, Angeline Manderfeld, Beverly Phillips, Louise Weberg. The office is a very important part of our school life. Here the records of all the students entering our doors are kept. The Secretary, Mrs. West, fills out the college transcripts for the Seniors and alumni. JUANITA VAN AUKEN Attendance Clerk 9 (2 M €4eC ‘7C€€OKA4 Tf 'Piece The morning procession of excuses has begun. Though Miss Koehler does not teach any classes, she is perhaps our busiest faculty member. First in the morning she meets all the students who have been absent. She listens to their sad stories of being ill or of mother’s illness. Then she decides if a white excuse is legal or if they deserve a blue one. Any problems concerning teachers or students are pondered. Next she meets students in Study Hall. After this our Miss Koehler arranges student programs and schedules of new students. Scholarships, Tests, College Boards all require her attention. The rest of her time is spent in counseling. MISS AGNES L. KOEHLER Girls Counselor New Mexico State College, B.S. M.S., Colorado University Sponsorship: FNA Mr. Lodge, well known for his supervision and gentle understanding of mishaps during Chemistry classes, is also the target for the daily recital of ills experienced through the days of a student’s absence. His decisions are many. Daily he is faced with the one problem whether to give the student a blue or a white excuse. MAURICE A. LODGE Boys’ Counselor Service 'P i MtteC Bessie Delapp, Mabel Turley, Katie Motica, Marie Steel, Martha Mapes, Algeva McDowell, Mrs. Lee, Director; Bertha Klinkosh (absent). Tommy Neighbors and Tommy George vigorously delve into their dinner. MR. CASEY For the past 15 years Mr. Casey has hoisted the flag every morning. Our custodians serve us well from sweeping up our torn paper to erasing the marks of the careless ones from the walls. Its “Mr. Miller, come; I can’t unlock this locker.” “Mr. Casey, I am freezing; turn up the thermostat.” “Mr. Morrison, may I get in the gym? I left my coat.” “Mr. Swartz, won’t you help us build this stairway for the play?” “Mr. Gibson, help me move this table before Mr. Martin returns.” These are just a few of the minor jobs which face our custodians every day. So hats off to all of you! Before the students come to school, the cafeteria staff is in full swing preparing our noon meal. Their friendly faces, behind the counter, greet us each lunch period. They do an excellent job of satisfying all the little uncertainties of the students. They are kept very busy during the rush hour, answering the call for “FOOD, FOOD, FOOD.” Mr. Ed Gibson, Mr. Miller, Mr. Casey, Mr. Swartz, Superintendent of Buildings; Mr. Morrison. i CLARK ANTON Class Flays 4; Intramural Sports 1, 2.

Last year when Prom time rolled around, one could always be sure Annie would be there —giving her all to make the dance a success. She always is willing to lend a helping hand, whether it be to a needy freshman or to a SENIOR in distress. We cannot overlook her ambition and interest in F.N.A., Bronc Staff, and many-other of the activities of which she is a part. Since she was a small, unsure freshman until the present she has given her time, ability, and support, making the graduating class of 1956 the best ever!

Probably the most important function of this organization, the “Little Sister” program is designed to aid new girls in finding their way around high school. After the “frosh” have gotten in step their “big sisters,” seniors, throw a party in the gymnasium. Beginning with a modified grand march and continuing through skits, games, and refreshments the little sister party is always “loads” of fun. Led by Martha Terry, President; Pat Freeman, Vice President; Kit McCally, Secretary; and Kathleen Bales, Treasurer. This organization of all the senior girls also sponsors an annual dance, a Christmas food drive, and a Mother-Daughter Tea. This year the dance was a “Snow Ball” dance in the gym after the Saturday night Sheridan vs. Laramie game. In the picture to the left, the girls are welcoming their mothers to the annual Mother-Daughter Tea. This year at the “Little Sister” party all the Freshmen wore booties and the Seniors high heels.

As an integral part of the program of vocational education in agriculture in the public school system of America, the F.F.A. has become well known in recent years.

The boys enrolled in such courses constitute its active membership but provision is also made for associate and honorary membership. (Membership is entirely voluntary.) Boy officers for each unit of the F.F.A.—local. State, and national— are elected annually. Teachers of vocational agriculture serve as local chapter advisors and State supervisors of agricultural education serve as State advisors. “I believe in the future of farming, with a faith born not of words but of deeds” is the opening thought in the F.F.A. Creed. Bill Perkins, Joe Boyd, and Jack Rudolph were contestants along with Larry Kobold (not shown), in the annual F.F.A. Public Speaking Contest.

The prom is anxiously anticipated by all upper classmen. Any junior can submit his suggestions on the prom theme to the prom committee. This committee discusses, selects, and executes the theme. The theme is always kept secret until the dance begins. Chuck William Nancy Neighbors, Ted Temple, Ann Lonabaugh, Gordon Lenz, and Jean Gunter were the servers. This year the theme, “Hawaiian Moonlight,” was chosen. One whole wall of the gymnasium was covered with a mural painted in Hawaiian scenery. In the center of the mural stood a grass hut in which the orchestra played. Palm trees and pools with flamingos decorated the sides of the gymnasium. A gaily colored lei was given to each girl. The prom servers, attired in sarongs and wearing leis, served punch and cake to refresh the dancers. (Rafted' Whether you rock and roll, just plain dance, or whether you try something fancy.

Because the profits are used to promote the prom, the juniors all hope for a large crowd. Everyone dresses western for the Cowtown. Prizes are awarded to the couples with the best costumes. The Servers wear a costume “resembling” that of the bartender of the Wild West, complete with mustache and colorful vest. Enjoying a good old hoedown. Larry Small, Carol Dawdy, were the lucky winners. Pat Radar, and Jim Dunlap Jail was never like this! (according to Jim Dunlap and Pat Radar.) Bales of hay, a corral, and other typically western objects were used to decorate the dance floor. Square and ballroom dancing kept the dancers on the jump.
