CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1959 being of sound mind and judgment, leave our meager possessions to V.H.S. I, Pattie Bills, leave, hoping I get from a certain redhead, what Patty Jo has already got from Del. I, Myrna Bruner, will my ability to get along with all the teachers to Marie King. I, Julie Christiaens, leave Jim, wishing I could take him with me. I, Harlan Den Boer, leave my correspondence course to Lloyd Barron. We, John Elings and Lloyd Wentworth, leave wondering what the girls will do without us. I, Roger Moon, leave my nickname of Gooney to my sister Gloria, who fits it as well as I did. 1, Sylvia Johnson, leave, hoping the teachers in college like me just half as much as those of V.H.S. did. I, Karen Speer, will my good manners and quiet ways to Pam Pfeiffer and hope she makes good use of them. I, Junior Kuka, leave with a sigh of relief, because this school is moving too fast for me. 1, Jack Urness, bid adieu, wondering if it was worth it. I, Patty Jo Morris, depart with my future already decided. I, Frank Wenzel, leave for the White House, wondering who wiU run V.H.S. next year. I, Lorraine Ingebrigtson, leave, looking for a dark green Buick and hope I find what goes with it. I, Jeanie Snortland, bequeath my ability to start new fads and fashions to Diane Stokes. I, Mona Norsby, leave, glad to be going. I, John Hammer, wiU my sense of humor to Crystal Van de kop. We, Wayne Sands and Joyce Van den Bos, leave wishing we could take a certain part of the junior class with us. I, Gay Nivens, part from Valier High, waiting impatiently for a certain sailor with a cute cookie duster. I, Aria Krattiger, leave my ability of being late every morning to anyone who wants it. I, Mickey Stephen, will my gift of gab to David Harris, in hopes it does him some good. I, Larry Stoltz, bequeath my ability to get on the ball in my senior year to Joe Christiaens in hopes that he does. I, Rita Holm, will my calmness and serenity to Lee Swank. 1, Daryle Swanson, leave for Washington as soon as I can get away. I, Rodney Guy, leave Larry to Pam. I, Jerry Norsby, will my good manners to Bob Gillette. I, Jeanie Dabney, leave, chasing a certain tall, blonde senior, but if I catch a certain blonde sophomore named Pete, I ' ll be satisfied. We leave to the underclassmen of V.H.S. the good times we have had. Try to appreciate your years in V.H.S., for they are the best. This last will and testament signed and sealed in the year of our Lord 1959 by the Class of 1959. THE CLASS OF ' 59 s. THE CRYSTAL BALL FORETELLS If you could look into a crystal ball into the future to see what hap- pened to the class of ' 59 here ' s what you ' d probably find. Our great politician Frank Wenzel has finally become president of New York ' s sanitation department. Skin diving for sunken treasure in Lake Francis is Jean Snortland ' s job. Lloyd Wentworth inventor of the Wentworth Waltz is taking Arthur Murray ' s place. Love thy native is the current sermon being preached to the natives of Africa by that great evangelist, Sylvia John- son. Painting the white line down highways is the job of Patti Bills. Aria Krattiger, secretary to the president, is busy improving her golf. Julie Christiaens and Myrna Bruner, head nurses of an army hospital, are surrounded by their work. Rodney Guy, alias That Speedy Guy, is currently the number one stock-car racer in the nation. Mickey Stephen, head ranger of Stephen ' s National Park, is busy looking for a new Smokey the Bear. Valier ' s new I. A. teacher, Daryle Swanson, is constantly in the English room visiting his wife Jackie. John Hammer has just finished his latest book called The Art of Correct Spelling. Across the street from Gambles store is J ack Urness ' s and Jerry Norsby ' s Marshall Wells store. Jack says there is nothing like a little friendly competition. Patty Jo Christiaens has been named the mother of the year by giv- ing birth to her fourth set of twins, all boys. It took a lot of pulling, but Gay Nivens is head of the U.S. Dental Association. Jr. Kuka, world famed electronics engineer, is quite popular with his invention of a left-handed monkey wrench. Making Dupuyer county seat is the ambition of the mayor of Du- puyer, Joyce Jones. Mona Norsby, top fashion designer for Hollywood, has come out with a paper sack dress for poor people. Wayne Sand is teaching math to the Eskimos of Alaska, so they can count their herr- ing. Beverly Dabney is a hair dresser for poodles. She said her busi- ness is going to the dogs. John Elings ' barbershop is famous for his old baldy haircut. Lor- raine Ingebrigtson, Nurse of the Year, plans to join Julie and Myrna. Karen Speer is in the advertising business. She draws billboards for a horseshoe factory because she just loves to draw horses. Larry Stoltz, Farmer of the Year, is planting hops for a brewery. Harlan DenBoer has settled down to enjoy life with his wife and ten children. Riti Holm, the great chemist, has invented a polka dotted toothpaste. Roger Moon replaced Jack Benny and Bob Hope. The crystal ball has given you a look into the future of the class of ' 59. Whether or not this prophecy comes true, only time can tell.

DUPUYER To hot and dusty freighters, the cool clear water of the winding creek and the shade of the lofty cotton- woods looked mighty appealing. Here was a spot where men, horses and mules could drink and rest in the shade before traveling on to Fort McLeod. What a perfect site for a town, here on the valley floor with rolling hills on the north, south, and east and the beautiful Rockies on the west! Mr. and Mrs. Link Humble settled in the quiet little valley in 1880. About 1881 Julian Burd, see- ing the rich prospects in the valley, started a small eating place, where freighters such as E. A. Savory, Frank Orr, and John Hunter could stop and eat as well as drink. These men, who traveled between Hel- ena and Fort McLeod with 6 and 10 horse teams, heartily welcomed the sight of good food and drinks. Because of the good grazing land and open range, cattlemen like Karl Rappold, Joe Sturgeon, Cal Stewart, Frank and Gene Leech, Tom Mannix and Ben English, soon began to settle in and around the fertile valley. The ranches stretched for miles without any kind of fence. Louis Morgan, besides run- ning a large herd of cattle, ran sometimes as many as a thousand head of horses on what is now the Kingsbury ranch. No one seems to know the actual year Dupuyer was named or who named it, but there are a couple of suggestions as to how it was named. Some people say that Dupuyer is an Indian name meaning the hump on a buffalo ' s back, which is the most delicate and choice part of the buffalo meat. One lady has her own theory as to how Dupuyer was named. Because of the thousands of cattle in the surrounding territory, there were cattle dipping tanks where Dupuyer now stands. In French dupuyer means delous- ing. Therefore, it is only a natural assumption that Dupuyer and Dupuyer Creek got their names because of the de lousing of the cattle. Joseph Hirschberg first had a store at Robare and then later moved it to Dupuyer. The Hirschberg Store was practically the first business in Dupuyer of any kind. Dupuyer was growing rapidly. Where there once was nothing but wagon ruts, there now stood homes and business houses. The Klondike was the first saloon, and W. W. Van Orsdel, better ki.own as Broth- er Van, sometimes preached there before the schoolhouse was built. The Beaverslide Saloon, so called because it was built on the bank of the creek and a beaverslide stood behind it, was owned by Tom Mc- Govern. Tom had an unique way of handling customers that became too rowdy. When they did not be- have well, Tom would simply help the offender out the back door, push him down the beaverslide and into the creek. It was found to be a much better cure than black coffee. Molly Sullivan and in front of saloon John Pfeiffer and Meril Roberts. The Catholic Church was one of the earliest buildings in Dupuyer, and priests came from the Two Medicine Mission to hold services. The schoolhouse was built about 1893 and had classes from the first to the eighth grades. The Methodist Church was the only Protestant Church in Dupuyer, and some of the ministers that held services there were: R. H. Reed, George Logan, F. A. Riggin, Lauren Kufus, and A. W. Hammer. In 1894 The Dupuyer Acantha, an independent newspaper devoted to the interest of Dupuyer and surrounding communities, owned and operated by Charles and Bert Trescott, first went to press. The paper was published every Saturday and the subscriptions were $3.00 a year. At this time Dupuyer was running for county seat of Teton County, and the paper was filled with campaign slogans and edi- torials. Although the campaign was well carried out, when the votes were counted, Choteau had 517, Bynum had 198, and Dupuyer had only 5. The business men of Choteau, Bynum, and Rebate as well as Dupuyer, advertised weekly in The Acantha. The Acantha was in Dupuyer until 1895 and then moved to Choteau, where it is still operating. Karl and Alfred Harris, who bought the Hirschberg Store from their uncle, Joseph Hirschberg, served the townspeople with groceries, hardware, and clothing. Groceries that were brought in by freighters included: flour, sugar, coffee, canned tomatoes and corn, and dried beans and rice. Hardware items were wagons, axes, buggies, coal oil cans, plows, and shovels. The Harris Store also sold men ' s cloth- ing and bolts of yard goods, ribbon, and laces for the ladies ' finery. Because of the demand for blacksmiths, there were several of them Dupuyer. O ' Brien, Dean, Viau, and Mnce were some of the early blacksmiths that filled the needs of the ranchers around Dupuyer. The Dean Hotel, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dean, and the Morton Hotel, run by Mr. and Mrs. John De- vine, were the only hotels in Dupuyer at this time. J. W. McKnight, looking to the future, started a second store in Dupuyer. Business was booming. The population, about three hundred people, was at its peak. The only drugstore in Dupuyer was run by Tom Magee, who also had the first photography business. John Laughlin, who was called Posthole Jonny because he built the fence around the cemetery and dug the first grave, ran the Eclipse Livery Stable. Besides running the stable, he was also a photog- rapher. Dupuyer also boasted a physician and surgeon named Dr. Titus and a lawyer named Tom Ma- gee. Although the people who lived in and around Dupuyer were hardworking ranch folk, they always were willing to have a bit of fun. On every holiday. Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentines Day, St. Patrick ' s Day, and the Fourth of July, a dance was held at the Woodman Hall, which was owned by the Woodmen of the World. On every New Years Eve they would have a special masquerade dance. The charge was $1.00 for the dance and $1.00 for the dance supper, which was given by the Women of Woodcraft. The music for these dances was provided for by George Magee, who played the banjo, Charles and Bert Trescott, who played the guitars, and Mr. Vaude, who played the violin. Tom Lett, Tom Mannix, Bert and Charles Trescott, and Fattie Cowll often provided entertainment for the towns- people at Woodman Hall by putting on minstrel shows. On the Fourth of July everyone would get to- gether and go out to the race track which was located on the flat north of the Seven Mile Lane, to spend the day enjoying themselves. They usually had foot race« sack races, and tug of wars, but the main attraction, of course, was horse racing. Not only the men raced; they also had ladies ' saddle races. Eily Embody York and Nell and Fanny Morgan often rode in the ladies ' saddle races. In one of these races when the women were riding down the track, Nell Morgan ' s jockey saddle slipped and turned around on the horse. Marcus Steely stepped out on the track to stop the panicking horse and was struck down, re- ceived a broken leg, and was on crutches for weeks. Nell Morgan, who fell off the horse when Mr. Steely tried to stop it, was unhurt. A telephone was installed in the Harris Store in 1910 and remained the only telephone in town for a great many years. Some of the early homesteaders that came to Dupuyer and started their farms were Connors, Campbells and Bruners. The ojjen range began to disappear. Grazing land was broken up and fenced. No longer did cattle roam freely on the plains. Noyes Embody carried the mail round trip daily except Sunday from Dupuyer to Choteau using three teams with a relay station at Bynum. In 1904 Dave Humble, a boy of fourteen, drove the stage for Noyes. Joe Embody was a driver for Bill Miller ' s freight line between Dupuyer and Conrad. Dupuyer also has its legend. When people look northwest toward the Seven Mile Lane and see a glancing green light they think of George Sturgeon. On a clear winter day, George, a boy of four- teen, after a minor quarrel with his mother left home to go to the mountains and find Chick Grimsley, a man with whom he had trapped. A sudden Montana blizzard came up shortly after the boy had left. Griff Jones and Mike Lyons, knowing the boy was in serious trouble, went out to look for him. They found articles that the boy had dropped, but did not find the boy. Days later after the blizzard was over, they found the boy lying frozen in the snow. When people see the green light they often say that it is George Sturgeon, trying to find Chick Grimsley ' s cabin.

' - ' ;iW ' ' ' - ' ' ' ' ' ' aiiUMitamamafm May 1903 After the homesteaders had broken up the land and planted crops, came the dry years. Farmers had all they could do to eke out a living. Many people had to move because they could not afford to stay any longer. The population began to decrease. Then in 1913 Dupuyer ' s population hit its lowest mark. It was the year the fire took several of the business houses. The fire started in the Dean Hotel and burned the Q and L Saloon, the barbershop, which was operated by Harry Kunkel, and the Kingsbury Store, which had been McKnight ' s store, destroying nearly one whole side of the street. However, in 1921 things began to look brighter for Dupuyer and its citizens. The state was building a park to park highway right through the town. After the highway was finished and in use, the business in Dupuyer started to improve Electricity came to Dupuyer in 1938, and it was about this time that a second fire struck Dupuyer ' s business places. It started in Fred Groh ' s and Harold Chadwick ' s Garage and spread to John and Nettie Pfeiffer ' s store and Harry Creighton ' s Bar. It also burned Pete St. Denis ' s blacksmith ' s shop. The Rocky Mountain Motors garage, the Highway Cafe, the Billips ' s home, the Sabin ' s home and the home of Maxine Armstrong have been built in the last ten years to add to Dupuyer ' s growing populat ion. Telephones are now installed in nearly every home in the country as well as in town. In 1956 a beautiful new five-room modern grade school with a gymnasium was completed. Years ago all the students from Dupuyer that wanted to go on to high school went to Choteau. However, about 1949, when the school bus started running between Dupuyer and Valier, most of them began to go to school in Valier. Now twenty-five students from Dupuyer are enrolled in Valier High school. Tourists from all over are interested in this little old Western town. Dupuyer is once again a place to stop, eat, and rest.
