This class of almost all boys has worked hard and effectively, and much of the credit, of course, should go to the one girl. These pages will record your achieve- ments and fun during this important year of your life. I sincerely hope it has been a fruitful year as well, and a pleasureable one. This class is one of great promise and I feel certain that its achievements of the future will give the school and community much of which to be proud. Mr. Don W. Douglas 3 Faculty MR. A. J.

They were: Bud Baril, Joe Glick, Oliver Kendall, Bill Larson, Ted Lorenz, Bill Marsh, Ronald Morse, Elioda Albrecht, Kathy Hyndman, Helen Kramer, Nancy Newlove. Sherry Wessel, Pete Salmonsen, Gary Lancaster, Helen Hunt, Judy Hunt, Elsa Jensin, and Judy Mortensen. During the next seven years the class progressed rapidly receiving and losing several classmates. Having reached the eighth rung in the ladder of success the eleven students pause to catch their breath before they receive their diplomas and take the big step into high school. As our first year of high school dawns, we find that to begin the year is Cecil Martin, Joe Stauduhar, Oliver Kendall, Joe Glick, Steve Mortensen, Clark Conrow, Bud Baril, Bill Marsh, Judy Mortensen, Elioda Albrecht, and Sherry Wessel. The freshmen class officers were Bud Baril, Pres. Oliver Kendall, Vice Pres., Judy Mor- tensen, Secretary, Elioda Albrecht, Reporter, and Joe Glick, Representative. Initiation proved very interest- ing although the sophomore year was anxiously awaited for initiating the up-and-coming freshmen. The class tied for third place in the amateur show which high- lighted the year. Clark was elected Carnival King. On the tenth rung one student was added, Fred Salmonsen, and one student was lost, Cecil Martin. The class was led by Oliver Kendall, Pres., Fred S., Vice Pres., Elioda A., Sec., Clark C., Representative, and Bud Baril, Reporter. Initiation was held for the freshman class and a party was given in honor of them. The class began to function and held several class parties, one of which was a tobogganing party during the winter and a party at the end of the year which was sponsored by the fines collected by our advisor in our Vo. Ag. classes. A party was also held at Silver Star. Third place was once again won by the class. As we took our 11th step we looked forward to putting on the prom. The class officers were: Fred Salmonsen, Pres., Clark, Vice Pres., Judy M., Sec., Steve M., Rep., and Oliver K., Reporter. This year we gained Bill Larson and Stan Patterson. The class won second place in the amateur show. Judy M. was elected carnival Queen. We chose our class rings this year, they were plain gold with rose and yellow surrounding the crest. Our Prom was done in dark blue and light blue checkerboard with a large dome in the center and a glass ball sprinkling light throughout the room. The theme was Stardust and Ed Boman's Orchestra pro- vided music. The Grand March was led by Lynda Powell, Senior Queen and Fred Salmonsen. Judy Mor- tensen was crowned Junior Princess. Elioda left us at the semester of this year. The Junior-Senior Banquet was held with chicken as the main course. At last the class has reached the top rung on the ladder of high school education. The seniors are led by Clark as Pres., Jim R., Vice Pres., Oliver K., Secretary- Treasurer; Bill L., Reporter: and Steve M., Student Council Representative. The class gained Milton Hunt this year but lost Stan P. at the semester. We dove eagerly into the activities of our last year. Some memorable events are going to Butte to have our senior pictures taken. Putting out the Passamari and working on the annual will be remembered as lots of fun. The class chose red and gold for their colors and the carnation as the flower. The motto is Tonight we launch; where shall we anchor? Another enjoyable event was the choosing of our graduation announce- ments. Our master of ceremonies for our amateur show, in which we won first, was Bill Marsh. The Junior Prom, given in our honor was held May 8. The march was led by John Claypool, and Judy Mortensen. Carol Carey and Clark Conrow followed them. High school week was attended by Oliver K. and Bud B. Final activities were the Junior-Senior Banquet, held May 12, featuring turkey and all the trimmings. The twelve seniors and two chaperones went to the Gates of the Mountains and Canyon Ferry and went boating. Afterward they went to Butte, attended a movie, dined at Lydia's, and went home. Soon award night followed with Oliver and Bud receiving Honor Roll. Several received athletic, FFA, music, and com- mercial awards. Judy Mortensen received the Citizen- ship Trophy. Baccalaureate was held May 22. Finally that long awaited day arrived. Graduation Day, May 24. Bud Baril was valedictorian, Oliver Kendall, salutatorian. Those who graduated were Judy Mortensen, Joe Glick, Milton Hunt, Fred Salmonsen, Oliver Kendall. Joe Stauduhar, Bud Baril, Jim Reynolds, Steve Mortensen, Clark Conrow, Bill Marsh, and Bill Larson, by Joe Glick and Bud Baril 15 Class Prophecy The Senior class of 1960 has finally unveiled its great invention--a crystal ball which will allow the members to look into the future to the year 1990. It is through this crystal ball that you are all going to be treated to a glimpse of what this graduating class is going to be doing. As the ball clears and the curtains part we see that it is raining cosmic dust in good old Sheridan, Montana. We look through the window of the new 10 story shop at school and see that Mr. Douglas, our class sponsor, is still trying to teach his students how to saw straight without getting a finger in the way. The door to the shop now opens and in comes Mr. Bill Marsh, America's leading expert on baled hay stacking. He has come to school to do some research on the latest stacker reports and argue the merits of the baled hay vs loose hay stacking with Mr. Douglas. The ball becomes cloudy but again clears as we arrive in Hollywood where we see Judy Mortensen, the outstanding men's hair stylist as she tries to give Yul Brenner a wave amid the boos of the onlookers. We also see that the first man in line is Elvis Presley who has come to Judy for a trim on the flat top she has designed especially for him. The vision flashes to a large impressive-looking building which is shaped like a modern car. As the crystal ball invades the privacy of a plush office, we find Steve Mortensen instructing a mechanic on how to remove the value cover from one of the new Mort- mobiles which Steve has the patent on. It looks as though Steve has made his million, but parked out in front is the 1936 Chevy truck which Steve is still driv- ing. In this same factory is a young, handsome engineer who is designing the Mortmobiles. This is none other than Buddy Baril, the dynamic designer who is taking the flaws out of next year's models. The only trouble he is having is that he has designed one of these new com- pact cars and he cannot seem to find room for the engine. Good luck, Bud. you have a bit of a problem to solve. The next stop is the new do it yourself hospital in the Hawiian Islands. Here, working over an ironing board massaging table, is Joe Glick, the head of the Physical Wrecking Department. It seems Joe received his education with Skeet Marsh and he is still trying to determine why all of his patients are dying on him. After the Army dismissed Elvis, they needed some- one to replace him so they chose none other than our own Jim Reynolds. After thirty years he has replaced his guitar with a violin and now sits down to sing to the officers. He figures after 20 years the Army will raise his pay enough so he can buy a bow for the violin and really make some music. As the crystal ball flashes back to Montana. Mon- tana State College comes into view. Here we find Joe Stauduhar teaching his first class entitled. How Not to Get Lost on Campus. The year before Joe had been voted the best campus guide of Montana State College. This year he is going to compete again but also include the first two blocks off campus. The vision now flashes back to Sheridan High where Fred Salmonsen is teaching the newly organized class of girls' physical education. Sheridan has finally got enough girls to warrant such a class. It seems there is a great rivalry between Sheridan and Twin Bridges where Clark Conrow is teaching the same class. All of the girls had been going to Twin Bridges to see Clark per- form his feats of strength, but with Fred in Sheridan they are coming back. Clark is considering going back to college to learn some new tricks. At the new B.M.I. Company (it used to be I.B.M. until Oliver Kendall got the switches in backwards on the letter head machine) we see Oliver still trying to figure out what is wrong with one of the computers. At last it seems he has found the trouble because he has just removed the pair of pliers which he lost in the machine two years ago. Milton Hunt is still trying to decide what to do for a career. He figures he has a lot of time because of the youth vaccine which he accidentally found while he was playing with his home chemistry set. According to his new book entitled Youth Forever, he will always be the same age he is now. However, he is still worried over things financially because his vaccine and book only bring him a couple million a year. The last member, but by no means the least, is Wild Bill Larson. Bill went down to Texas to grow some of those giant Texas potatoes, but he had some bad luck. He accidentally struck oil and he is really having trouble making those potatoes grow in the oil seeded ground after a dozen or so gushers. You better come back to Montana and be satisfied with the smaller, good potatoes. Bill. Now that we have found all of our classmates the curtains fall over the crystal ball and it fills with snow. We shall put it away but it will always be available whenever any members of the class of 1960 wants to find their classmates and see what they are doing. by Oliver Kendall 16 F. H. A.
