TKfllLSLflZen It is with deep gratitude that we the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixty-Five do dedicate this yearbook to the people who have stood solidly behind us for these twelve years. Their sympathy and encouragement have aided us in our quest for learning. Without their serenity in the midst of our con- fusion it would have been impossible for us to achieve what we have. So to you we dedicate this account of our senior year: Mr. and Mrs. Harry Armstrong Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Baril Mrs. Jenny Baril Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burton Mrs. Dorothy Carey Mr. and Mrs. George Carter Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Duffner Mr. and Mrs. Robert Foreman Mr. and Mrs. Mack Fulford Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Glasser Mr. and Mrs. Harold Gilman Mrs. Selena Hansen Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Marsh Mr. and Mrs. James Moore Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Pack Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Pearson Mr. and Mrs. Fred Robson Mr. and Mrs. Henry Walter Mr. and Mrs. W.

This presented the problem of finding an appropriate one. We had chosen the cloud inset on the leaves and this suggested Clouds , The Big Sky , Reaching and Growing to Heights . These were all fine theme but when it came to applying these thoughts to the whole annual, somehow they weren't appropriate. Oh there must be sometime to calmly think thi out by tomorrow there's. . .and the next day I havt to. . .well let's see, this week is free except for. . .Oh, everything is in such a mess I don't even know where I should be when; and this annual--it's in such a mess already, everything is utter Confusion ! And so the inspiration came. This idea grew stronger with thoughts of our lives; for what senior can deny that this year is complete chaos and confusion. The annual staff in this confusion has attempted to produce an orderly and well planned annual. We've tried to bring fresh new ideas and thoughts into our work. Many changes have been made. We're proud of it!

Perhaps the most significant was that only part of the senior class composed the staff. Those vol- unteering this year are pictured above as follows: FIRST ROW: Linda Glasser, Margaret Moore, Sandy Baril, Carita Miller, and Anne Carey. SECOND ROW: Jim Wright, Dave Burton, Steve Baril, Scott Robson, Dave Armstrong. The office of editor and associate editor were de- cided by the grading of two sample pages. These pages were judged on layout, English, and journalistic writing. The division pages of this annual were designed by members of our own staff, whereas previous annuals used stock division pages. We of the staff hope these changes have made our annual more enjoyable. 5 SCHOOL BOARD The School Board is the adult governing body of School District No. 5. The Board consists of local people selected by the voters to shoulder the responsibility of conducting the business of our school system. The 1964-65 members of the Board are from LEFT TO RIGHT ABOVE: STANDING: Mr. Alve Thomas (Supt.) Mr. Norman Schulz (Chr.), Mr. Jim Maddison, Mr. John Anderson. SEATED: Mr. Ken Halse, Mr. Pat Burke, Mr. Lowell Gilman, Mrs. Bieler; NOT PRESENT: Mr. Foreman. Here we have our favorite office girl hard at work. Mrs. Bieler is a valuable friend to all. She never seems to tire of explaining how to make out a pay order or helping to balance the hopelessly tangled books. A big thanks to Mrs. Bieler for her endless patience and energy. 6 V RAOUUV MR.

But with the aid of two very capable chapter mothers the Sheridan Chapter survived the year of existance allowed without an advisor. Some of the activities of the group were cut, yet most were allowed to continue. The organization sold goodies at basketball games, making money and having fun. A joint caroling party was sponsored by the FHA and FFA After walking and singing, chili and coca were enjoyed by those attending. Mrs. King and the newly elected officers traveled to Billings for the State Convention in March. In May a joint installation of officers was held with the FFA. The year may be termed a success since a summer trip was taken at Salt Lake City early in June. All the girls were able to attend the five day jaunt.. The 1964-65 Officers are pictured to the LEFT.

The National Convention was held in Kansas City, Missouri; Mike Funk represented the chapter. Each year the Chapter elects a Chapter Sweetheart from the girls of the Student Body. This year Carolyn Lueck received the honor. The annual joint initiation of members was held with Beaverhead and Whitehall Chapters in October. The Chapter also built all of the props for the Christmas Program and other various school activities throughout the year.

DRAMA The speech class of Sheridan High School presented the well known three-act comedy, If A Man Answers. The first performance of the play was given in matinee form for the grade school on October 29. The evening production of the hilarious drama was performed for the general public on October 30, 1964. Tryouts for the parts were held September 24, and after that there were weeks of practice, hard work, and a lot of fun for the cast; and maybe a few headaches and ulcers for the director, Mr. Logan. The speech class had planned to present two more one act plays, but there was too little time.

Each year a debate topic is chosen nation-wide for high school debaters. The topic this year was, Resolved: That nuclear weapons should be controlled by an international organization. The class was divided into several teams to write speeches, and debate the topic. On March 18, the topic was debated before the student body. The two debating teams were Sandy Baril and Carita Miller, affirmative; and Glenn Gilman and Jim Wright, negative. Mr. Kenneth Logan, pictured at the RIGHT, was the de- bate coach. Debate entails much more than the actual debate. Before debating, there must be hours of research to find infor- mation. This information is put on cards and filed so it can be used during the debate. 31 The annual Snow Ball was replaced this year by the Senior's Harvest Ball. This was done because of the confusion during Christmas vacation, and the lack of activities during the fall season. HARVEST BALL The Senior Class presented the Harvest Ball on November 7, 1964, in the all-purpose room of Sheridan High School. Music was provided for the evening by the Bozeman Bobcat Ambassadors. The room was decorated with grain-shocks and a variety of all colors of crepe paper. A pumpkin scene, featured in the far comer of the room, was set off by a colored spot light. Refreshments consisted of cider and cookies. The punch bowl set in the center of the lunch counter, which was decorated with crepe paper and a large picture of a colorful horn of plenty . 32 The Christmas Program was held on the evening of December 22 with a great air anticipation. Each class took part in the program with a song, or other festive numbers commemorating the Christmas season. The high school students contributed many seasonal songs. The groups that took part were the girls chorus, boys chorus, mixed chorus, and small ensemble. After the program, Santa Claus appeared with treats for the children. The adults were not left out; however, they received treats at the door. Everyone went home happy and anxiously awaiting the holiday season ahead. CWRISTMAS On the afternoon of December 23 the Sheridan High School Gym was the scene of much excite- ment. School would soon be out for Christmas vacation and the an- nual Christmas party was being held. The students danced and played games early in the after- noon. As the day drew to a close, the gifts were handed out and each student departed to spend his vaca- tion the way he had long planned. On Sunday, December 13, 1964, the Student Council and a number of student body members set out for Garden Creek to gather Christmas trees for the School. After several mishaps, the caravan of six vehicles reached their destination. The students then despersed in various directions to collect a total of forty trees. When the trees were collected the caravan set out at a mad pace around Ruby Lake and headed toward Sheridan. After several more mishaps the last truck in the caravan reached Sheridan with its load of trees to end a very suc- cessful and fun-filled student body outing. ONE-HALF OF THIS PAGE SPONSORED BY J.

The Junior Prom, sponsored by the junior class in honor of the graduating seniors took place May 1. The gym was decorated with billowing white parachutes, blue and white crepe paper, and silver and gold stars. A mural of a sunset amid Grecian ruins decorated the stage, and at the back of the gym was a white stairway--depicting the Prom theme -- Stairway to the Stars. The coronation took place at 10:30 p. m. Anne Carey was coronated as Senior Queen by Dan Day, junior class president; and Carolyn Lueck was crowned Junior Princess by Wayne Gilman, senior class president. The crownbearers were Denise Rodgers and Jimmy Rossiter, members of the first grade. 34 JUN IO -CENIO The Junior-Senior Banquet was held at 6:30 p. m. in the multi-purpose room, the evening of Thursday, May 27. The tables were set in a 11- formation and were decorated with midnight blue crepe paper tableclothes. These were set off by the silver serving dishes and white plates. The head table was accented by a globe which was decorated in white with a midnight blue mortar board atop its circumference. At each setting there were minia- ture globes which were patterned after the large one. These served as place cards. Dan Day, president of the junior class, was master of ceremonies. Glenn Gilman offered the blessing after which all were seated for a meal of tossed salad, ham, scalloped potatoes, green peas with mushrooms, and cherry pie, all of which was prepared deliciously by the junior and senior mothers. The Class History was first as entertainment and was read by Steve Baril. Second on the program was a vocal number by the Senior Trio who sang, May the Good Lord Bless and Keep You. The Class Will was then read by Margaret Moore, and the Prophecy by Sandy Baril. Mr. Thomas then offered a few words of advice to the graduating class of 1965 on how to conduct themselves in the adult society. White roses decorated the tables and were presented to each senior after the banquet. They were purchased for the seniors by the junior class. Beautiful piano music which was played throughout the meal was provided by Mrs. Grace Osborn of Alder. As part of the entertainment, the entire as- semblage sang Happy Birthday to Mr. Arch Dudden. On behalf of all the guests of the banquet, the senior class would like to extend their sincere thanks and congratulations to the mothers who prepared the wonderful meal, and provided the lovely decorations. 35 Commencement activities were opened by Baccalaureate services in the gym on Sunday, May 23. The invocation was given by Mr. Arlo Weston and the bene- diction by Mr. Lee Allen. The service was given by the Reverend Father Stimatz. He urged the graduates to be mature mentally and morally as they enter the world of adulthood. COMMENCEMENT Graduation exercises were held on Friday, May 28, also in the gym. The invocation and benediction were given by the Reverend Ben Gum. Reverend George Harper of Helena delivered the address. Rev. Harper advised the twenty-two graduates to be certainly insane , not to be afraid to be different from every- one else. Quite possibly they could all be wrong. After receiving their diplomas from Mr. Norman Schulz, the graduates sang their class song, The Green Leaves of Summer. 36 CLACC P OPUBCY As the Graduating Class of 1965 gathers at their reunion in 1970, we meet the Millionaire Farmer, Wayne Gilman, who has just flown in from Ruby in his red and white GMC. We now meet Margaret Moore who has just returned from Sweden where she received the Nobel Prize for chemistry for her amazing formula for Root Beer. Barry Carter, Sandy Baril, and Lynda Pack and her husband have just whipped in from Europe on their Hondas where they've been hosteling for the past five years. Next we hear the loud alto voice of a cheerleader; Marilee Foreman, pompon girl for the Professional Soccer Team--the Salt Lake Trojans--appears. The aroma of delicious food drifts into the room followed by Larry Fulford, who is pro- prietor of his own club—the Fulford A' Go Go. Anne Carey, an International Spy, is madly taking down in shorthand everything that is said. The New Commander of the Pacific Fleet, David G. Armstrong, better known as Admiral Mabel, marches in. Madly rushing around booking all the female members of the Class for First Degree Murder, is Jim Wright, tire Millionaire Police Captain. Carita Miller arrives next. She has just come from Virginia City where the Main Office of the NEW YORK TIMES has been located since Carita has been Editor. Next comes Clint Pearson who is between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea--telling the Army that he is married; and his girl friend that he is in the Army. Steve Baril arrives next. He has just finished painting a mural on the dome of the Capitol Building in Helena. The scene is the Senior Class Picnic. Judy Duffner, Private Secretary to General Gary Campell, of the National Guard, is acting as Recruiting Agent for the Guard. Then as everyone turns toward the door John Pack, the famous geologist enters. John has just returned from his journey to the center of the earth, where he was burned black----er. Paul Marsh, of the world famous Paulie's Pharmacy, can be heard driving up in his one- eyed Green Monster, which he refuses to give up. Right behind Paul comes Gary White in his Gray Studebaker. Gary, well-known chemist, had made millions on the glue he invented that will hold anything together------even Paul's truck and Gary's car. Dave Burton, our sensationally popular guitarist, walks in with his six-foot pet Wabbit . Paul Walter, has just received the National Safe Driver's Award , and is traveling around the country teaching High School Students how to drive. Scott Robson, a fabulous aviator, has actually managed to land his jet at the Sheridan Airport. Sandy Wonderly and Linda Glasser, personal beauticians of the famous Alder Players arrive next----late as usual. 37 In September 1961, Sheridan High School was first honored with the presence of the class of '65. Both the school and our class managed to live through our initiation and our freshman year. Our class officers that year were Paul Marsh, President; Jim Wright, Vice-President; Marilee Foreman, Secretary-Treasurer; and Barry Carter, Student Council Representative. We won second place in the Amateur Show when we were freshmen with a take-off on Coach Bergquist. Our class officers, Barry Carter, President; Jim Wright, Vice-President; Lynda Welbom, Secretary-Treasurer; and John Pack, Student Council Representative, led us through our Sophomore year. That year meant geometry and biology and an exciting trip to Lewis and Clark Caverns. The sophomore candidates, Jim Wright and Patty Kremer, won Carnival King and Queen. Then came our junior year—that wonderful year--or maybe they all were wonderful. Marilee Foreman was Junior Class President; Barry Carter, Vice-President; Margaret Moore, Secretary-Treasurer; and John Pack, Student Council Representative. That was the year we chose our class rings; the year we weren't in the Amateur Show due to extenuating circum- stances—something about a toliet paper raid; and the year we had our Junior Prom. We worked hard to make that Prom a success--and it was worth every minute of the time we spent on it. Our theme was The Green Leaves of Summer and the band was the Bobcat Ambassadors. Then came the last year--we were finally seniors. Our class officers that year were Wayne Gilman, President; Barry Carter, Vice-President; Steve Baril, Secretary-Treasurer; and Sandy Baril, Student Council Representative. That was a busy year--there were book reports and term papers, and some members of the class were always going to tournaments, track meets, science fairs, and music meets. Our brilliant talent won us first place in the Amateur Show. The month of May brought the Prom in our honor on May 1, Baccalaureate May 23, the Junior-Senior Banquet on May 27, and finally May 28, the big day. Our entire class of twenty-two graduated that evening. Rev.

They bring us to school and take us home again. They feed us and keep the building, our second home , in a spotless condition. These people can never be thanked enough for their services and courtesies. Mr. Mrs. Baker always provide excellent and nutritious meals for the grades, high school and faculty at a most reasonable price. The janitors are always present to clean up after the messy students daily and the many school activities and basketball games. The bus drivers are always the first to arrive and the last to leave the campus. Their service is one of great value to the students who live out of town. To all these people goes a big thank you for a job well done and greatly appreciated. The bus drivers are: Mr. Simonsen, Mr. Todd, and Mr. Axtell. Mrs. Morris, janitor for the grade school building, is not pictured. Mr. Simonsen Mr. Mrs. Baker Mr. Baker 56 V' V . V -
