They were Jo Ann Baril, Carol Doombos, Charolette Hollen, Judy Janelli, Bona Jane Leebenow, Margaret Ann Morris, Jeanie Edith Tilton, Carolyn Ann Tolson, Kathy Jean White, Bonnie Leigh Weber, Pat- rick Magee, Ray Livingston Shaw, and Jane Spear. Twelve years have passed; classmates have come and gone, leaving seventeen graduating seniors in the class of '64-Kathie White, Kathleen Sheehan, Bonnie Weber, Sluggo Wessel, Jeannie Tilton, Carol Doombos, Judy Sinerius, Bill Gibson, Ed Osbom, Carolyn Tolson, Margaret Morris, Bona Leebenow, Ray Shaw, Walt Piippo, Charles Edmisten, Ken Piippo, and Kent Lindsay.

During our grade school years we were priveleged to take a train ride from Logan to Livingston under the supervision of our third grade teacher, Mrs. Flo Birrer, and a field tour of the Berkley Pit in Butte and the Rus- sel Museum in Helena, under the direction of Mr. Robert Almstead, our fifth grade teacher. These two years respectively saw two dramatic achievements, Hanzel and Gretel, and Scheherazade. Our eighth grade graduation was the first big mile stone in our education and brought us to our freshman year in high school. Our freshman class officers were president, Ray Shaw; vice-president, Carol Doombos; and secretary treasurer, Bonnie Weber. Mr. Don Douglas was the class advisor. This first year in high school was filled with many new experiences, the most memorable perhaps being our initiation at the hands of the sophomores. Carnival candidates were Ray Shaw and Carolyn Tolson. The sophomore year found Carol Doombos as president; Ed Osbom, vice-president; and Kathie White, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Dan King was the advisor thatyear. During the year we were joined by Kathleen Sheehan. The biology field trip to the Lewis and Clark Caverns was a time of fun to be remembered because of the bug catching and the girl chasing that went on. That same year Kathie White and Steve Stolp were Carnival candi- dates, Kathie ending up as Carnival Queen. The junior year was a full and important one because it marked the first year of becoming upperclassmen. Class officers were president, Ray Shaw; vice-president, Ed Osborn; and secretary-treasurer, Bonnie Weber. Mrs. Clarke Raymond was our advisor. Carnival Candidates that year were Carol Doombos and Bill Gibson. The trip to Helena to visit the Legislature was a memorable experience. Some of the junior members had parts in the speech class play, Little Sheppard of Kingdom Come. The juniors were first place winners of the annual amateur show, our theme being the celebration of the Madison County centennial. The junior class chose their class rings and sponsored the traditional junior prom. The theme was Three Coins In aFountain ; decorations were in different shades of blue with an Italian garden scene on the stage. Music was provided by the Renegades . The Senior Queen, Glenda Gum and junior president, Ray Shaw, led the Grand March, followed by junior princess, Bonnie Weber and senior President, Lewis Brown.

The Small Ensemble, under the direction of Mrs. S. P. Kitt, was an asset to the school. Five of the senior girls participated in the District Music Festival. The junior prom was given in our honor on May 2. The theme was The Green Leaves of Summer ; the Bobcat Ambassadors provided the music.
