a South Dakota
bank to start the Garfield County
Bank of Jordan in 1959. The bank
opened its doors on March 14, 1960.
The offi~rs were Winter as pres­ident,
Boyd Isaacs as vice president,
William Nefsy as vice president, and
Winter received assistance in his
duties as CEO from his wife Viola
and Milton P. Schrank.
The bank has grown from its start­ing
capital of $125,000 to $1,261, 000
during the past 22 years. It is the
first bank in Jordan to really survive.
Prior to it, the First State Bank of Jor­dan
opera ted for a brief eight years
from 1913 to 1921, reopened later
that year only to close again in 1926
During that period the Farmers
State Bank opened and two years later
in 1919 became
a national bank.
By 1934, Farm­ers

Graduation
Thirty graduates hear Moore and Kryzer
Sunday, May 23, was a day
of endings and beginnings for
30 young people who have been
nurtured and guided to maturity
in Garfield County. High School
graduation, with all its tradi­tions,
ceremony, and happy con­notations
was held in the Gym­nasium,
to a standing room only
crowd.
A few hours before caps and
gowns were finally donned, an-other
ceremony, Baccalaureate,
was held, Its purpose is to re­mind
the graduates and their
families that these young people
are not just embarking on a
journey of coll.ege, employment,
and citizenship, but also a
spiritual journey through life,
Pastor Wayne Moore, of the
Seventh-Day Adventist Church
in Jordan, gave the Invo-cation,
the main address and
the Benediction. The G. c. H. S,
Band and Choir filled the
building with music a_nd song.
At graduation,- after the Pro­cessional
in which the graduates
filed in, arm in arm, in two's
and three's to Elger's Pomp and
Circumstance, Pastor Wayne
Moore gave the invocation.
High School principal John Dal­lum
announced that seniors
Dan Fellman, Carol Ritter, Ka­trina
Phipps, and Valedictorian
Cindy i-lager had been awarded
college scholars hips,
Salutatorian Deborah Green
gave the welcoming address,
which was followed by the Vale­dictorian's
address. John Dallum
then introduced the main speaker,
Thomas Kryzer, President of the
Northern Tier Pipeline Company,
who told th.e graduates that
they "are now becoming deci­sian
makers", and that "Garfield
County has provided you with a
unique learning and development
experience that will serve you
well whatever goal in life you
choose. You are indeed fortu­nate".
Kryzer added that, "Up to
this point in time, decisions
were made for you- -or certainly
with close guidance. After today
you will assume a new role,
gradually at first, but none the
less, it's a new phase in your
life and a new relationship with
society. In other words, you are
assuming the rights of a decision
maker. But, with these rights go
responsibilities. Whether you will
continue to live in Garfield Cou­nty
or not, you have the respon­sibility
to make decisions that
represent the kind of training
you received here, and the pur­pose,
the direction and the values
of this community. "
Dallum then formally present ­ed
the graduating class of 1982
and Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, Vern Pluhar presented
each in turn with their diplomas.
After the Benediction and the
Recessional, played by the
G, C. H. s. Band, the graduates

World
April Trumbo sees the World--At least a good part of it . ' .
Garfield County High school
was in closer contact with the rest
of the world this year than ever
before. We have access, through
our video recorder and Ronnie and
Feggy Stanton's satellite dish, to
over 100 TV stations from 13 ·
satellites.
Also Mid -Rivers Co-op has in­stalled
cable TV in Jordan. (See
tower below.)
Another way we learned about
the world was through the School
Assemblies Program. One of the
most interesting was Professor Dee
Jay Nelson talking about Egypt.
(See picture at lmver right.)
· One student actually was able
to visit another part of the world.
April Trumbo spent a month in
Japan with some other students
from Montana. The purpose of
their visit was to promote friend­ship
between the two states-­Montana
and Kumamoto. (At
right is a picture of April while
in Japan.)

still .rising with a deluge of
drugs being tampered with
while still on the store shelves,
resulting in several people
being fatally poisoned. The
cost of living is still rising,
which in combination with
the unemployment situation
made many Americans wonder
just what lay in store for 1983.
Closer to home, citizens of
eastern Montana were in a
turmoil over the possibility of
Cuban refugees being moved into
a refugee camp in Glasgow.
In Jordan, a new post office
building was erected at the

the most votes for
state animal. At GCHS
four students worked on a

Garfield County
November election
brings changes
in Ga~field County
Garfield County was established
on February 7, 1919. W. c. Hen­derson
started the campaign for a
separate county. At the time
this area was the western part of
Dawson County. Garfield County
was named after President James
Garfield. Jordan became the
county seat. An old dance hall
was "temporarily" used as the
courthouse and is still being used
today.
This reporter toured the court­house
January 3, 1983. In the
first room on the left, the com­missioners
kindly posed for a
picture. They are Kenneth Coul­ter,

Cremer wins third
term as Sheriff
The citizens of Garfield County are.
pretty law-abiding so not too much
trouble ever arl.ses. But just in case
there is trouble, Garfield County is
backed by strong law enforcement.
Nick Murnion became our county
attorney January 1, 1979, , after graa­uating
from University of Montana
in Missoula. Nick is in charge of
prosecuting law -breakers and if there
are any civil problems, Nick can
issue his opinion. He represents
the conunissioners and the school
districts.
Garfield County's sheriff is P. T.
"Spud" Cremer. Spud has been
sheriff of the county for eight years.
Previously, he was a stock inspector
for the state, a position \vhich he
held for fifteen years.
Joyce Ryan, the sheriff's dispatch­er,
answers the radio, phone and CB.
Bob "Duke" Speer, the ~puty
Sheriff, got triggered into law
enforcement because his dad was
in it. Duke acquired most of his
training in Glasgow and some of it
from Clancy Rich.
One person that high school stu­dents
are always on the lookout
for is Milo Aasvid, the Highway
Patrolman. If you do get stuck with
a ticket, the person to -see then is
the Justice of the Feace.
Gladys Stanton is the Justice of
the Feace #1 and also the city
judge. Gladys has worked for the
county and the city of Jordan since
July 1, 1981, after Helen Dun­ning
passed away.
Justice of the Feace #2 is Mar­tin
Barnes who was appointed to
his position in 1971 after c. F.
Wilson died.
Both Justices of the Feace
attend a "J.P." .seminar twice a
year.
Other people who enforce the
law in Garfield County are Fran­cis
Joyce, the Brand Inspector,
and Bernie Hildebrand who works
as a game warden during the
hunting seasons. Rocky :Nelson
is a temporary city marshall.
Law
The C9J.Inty jail, a goo~ p~ce
from which to stay away, was
built 1951. Al Johnson is a part­time
jailer. An average of six
people spend some time in
the jail each year.
Clockwise: P. T. Cremer,
Nick Murnion, Duke Speer,
Gladys Stanton, Martin
Barnes, and Joyce Ryan.
Engdahl governs
the city
The city of Jordan has a popula -
tion of 482 according to the 1980
cenus. These pooople live in 241
residences.
Five people form the city
government. Heading city gov­emment
is Mary Ann Engdahl as
mayor. She is help<!d by four
councilmen; John Gibson, Al
Johnson, Robert Johnson, and:

city engineer, Rocky Nelson.
The people of District 1 have
elected two other city workers,
Justices of the Ieace Marcin
Barnes and Gladys Stanton along
·with the mayor and the council­men.

streets, water, sewer, police
protection, fire p~otection, and

ter the new hospital was
completed in 1952, it was
turned into a private· rest -

year after serving the peo -
ple of Garfield County for
nearly 55 years.
After Dr. Farrand came
a succession of men, Dr.

The first known
doctor to live l.n Gar­field
County was a man
called Dr. Baker. He
stayed until WWI broke
out. -After he left to
join th~ arr11y, Dr.
Carroll became Gar-
' Garfield County's first hospital as
,ing very long. For~ w~
it stands today we had no doctor but c!.~-
pended on Miles City for -
field County's new doc- .
tor. He stayed until about 1923.
- Dr.·- B. C. Farrand was ttJe first
doctor to _stay for any length of time ·
, in Garfield County. He came here in :.
1925. rre was Giufield County-'s cio~­tor
for 57 years, retiring in 1972.
The first hospital was built in
1925, at a cost to the ta?CI?ayers of
any medical aid. -br: Hemingway
came in 1977 and .has been our doc - .
tor for nearly 6 years. .
On October 23, 1982, a hospital .
Benefit Auction was held under the
MEDICINE
direction of Mrs. Ann Rich. Its purpose
was to earn money to keep the hospital
open or to buy needed equipment, as the
Hospital Board thinks necessary. Wide
publicity, both on television and radio
made the auction a huge success, bring­ing
in over $25,000.
Another first, a Cffi. course was held
in all the h~alth classes here at G CHS.

Environment
Garfield County interesting?
Yes, as I found out recently,
Garfield County is very inter­esting.
I have to give credit
where credit is due. If it hadn't
been for Gary Peterson, this
article would have been very
short. He had access to the
information I needed.
Statistically, Garfield Coun­ty
ranks seventh in the state of
Montana. OUr elevatioo is 2626
feet. According to the 1980
census, Gar!J.eld County has a
population of 1656. OUr county
covers 3, 169,280 acres. Six­teen
per cent of this land is
land coo.trolled by the Bureau
of Land Management, 68o/o
of _this ~c~age is deeded acres,
7o/o is water acres, 4o/o is Charles
M. Russell National Wildlife
Refuge, 4o/o of this land belong­ing
to the state of Montana,
and 1 o/o is used for county pur­poses,
such as school and town
sites, cemeteries, and right of
ways.
Believe it or not, our county
has aboot 290 species of animals.
Fifty species are fish, 6 are
amphibians, 13 species are rep­tiles,
55 species are mammals,
and incredibly enough, 166
species are birds.
Geologically speaking, there
is something interesting to say
about Garfield County. This
source of interest lies about
8 miles due west of Jordan.
You guessed it, our county's
own landmark: Smoky Butte.
It is said that pioneers travel­ing
the "Green Trail" west to
lewistown could see Smoky
Butte for a ccnsiderabJe distance.
This butte is situated on
private land.
I have mentioned the land
that makes up the county,
some statistics about the countv.
the animal pop.!lation, and
something unique about the
county; however, I would like
to say it takes some wonderful
people to make a nice envir­onment
to live in.

School
Several improvements made over summer
Last spring the High School Board
voted to build a much -needed addi­tion
to the gym for concessions.
Also during the summer, fans were
put in the ceiling of the gym, a fac­ulty
room was made in the basement
of the main building, and a new
sidewalk was poured between the
high school and the grade school.
These improvements were the .
latest results of a long line of de­cisions
made by school boards in
this area since 1905, when the
first school was held here. (At
least, according to our records,)
Although high school classes were
taught as early as 1914, it was not
until1928 that this school was call­ed
Garfield County High School.
The present building was built in
1936 and the gym in 1971.

The office at GCHS is a busy place. It is divided into
three areas. In the first room Mary Billing, secretary, gives
out late slips, takes in excuses, manages the activity , -· .
accounts, runs the copy machine, types for Mr. Dallum, and
answers the phone about 100 times a day. Mary has worked
at the school off and on in several capacities since 1964. She
is married to Bruce and her son, Tom, is helping with the
coaching and bus driving this year. Mary makes quilts in her
spare time.
A folding door opens into the area of big finance where -
Be tty Johnson, school board clerk, pays the bills, issues
teacher warrants, struggles with government red tape and
makes reports for tre board. Betty is married to Al who
teaches art. She loves horses and makes acrylic paintings of
them. She has been at GCHS for five years.
JOHN DALLUM, SUPERINTENDENT
The other room in the office area is reserved for- Mr. Dal­lurri.,
Superintendent, but he is ofre_n_ not there~ In fact he
might be just about anywhere --patroling the halls, visiting
classes or just getting acquainted with students in the lunch
room. He is married to Mike and has four children. This
is his second year at GCHS.
Custodians clean schools
Rose Lervick
When one hears the \vord
school, images of books,
lectures, studying, and bask­etball
come to mind --not
necessarily in that order.
Seldom does one think of
stoking the furnace, washing
the windows, or shoveling
snow. But how could we
have school if these jobs
were not done?

Fashion
Leg warmers are high fashion at GCHS
Fashion today at GCHS is always
changing. Guys stroll down the halls
wearing Levis, Wranglers, polo
shirts, western shirts, and Adidas
hightop;.
Girls, on the other hand, prefer
Normandy Rose jeans or Wranglers
with Nikes, loafers, a fashion belt,
·legwarmers, striped shirts, or
sweaters all tied up with designer
shoe laces.
Fads come and go with hair.
Blonde, brunette, redheads, they
all have a different flair for the
v;ay they do their hair. The com­mon
way for hair now is flipped
back and feathered. This year
some wild gals even colored their
hair. Fashion is always changing
everywhere, so don't be sur-prised
to see some wacky things
·in the future at GCHS.

We will always remember our past
Fifteen frightened little children
started their journey down the road
called education in 1970 under the
direction of Mrs. Wille and Mrs.
Fogle. Our first year will always
be remembered because of one big
accident when April wrecked her
three -wheeler. April carne out of
this wreck with a broken arm; how
ever, she didn't come out of it with
ber two front teeth, There was a
little confusion over how serious
the wreck was; Holly thought that
April's head had been completely
cut off! Following are a few of
the letters that the first grade
class wrote to April during her
stay in the hospital. You will
have to excuse any mistakes
in grarnrner or sJ;elling because
the letters are in original form,
!:ear April,
We are sorry, you are in the
hospital. I had to clean the
chicken house. My cousin were
out at my places.
Holly Louise Billing
!:ear April,
Now we read make believe
story,
Wyatt your frierde
!:ear April,
I want you to get better. I
missed you. I want you to go to
school. How do you feel. I
love you,
Lori
!:ear April,
I ho);e you can get well fast
so you can go to school.
Perry
!:ear April,
Danny brought a mouse to
school, I brought a thing to
school and it had some seeds.
Your friend
Wyatt
!:ear April,
You missed the play. We miss
you.
Paul love
Your friend
Paul Sturtz
!:ear April,
I want to write another letter
to you. The play was fun and
Thrnrny got a trophy and Waytt
got a trophy to,
Mi,chael
Another highlight of our first
year was the Mother's Day
Play in which tbe girls were flowe"ft!
and the boys were snowflakes.
second grade had another Moth­ers
Day Play. In this oqe we were
supposed to be sleeping, but more
la~ghing t!Jan sleepin_g was done.
ntis year Holly, Wyatt, and Lori
were put in a class by themselves
for a time because each was con­sidered
a "brain child." Mrs. Vi­all
(Nelson) was our teacher.
In the third grade the battle of
the sexes began, All of the boys
thought that the girls had "fleas"
so every time tbe girls touched
anything of tbe boys • or touched
them (Heaven forbid!) it had to
be blown off. Also that year Mrs.
Ward made us buy groceries and
make change all by ourselves.
Mrs. Turner was our fourth grade
teacher and had to endure us wben
we learned what spitwads were.
That year our afternoons were s);ent
s);ent -listening to stories.
We started band in the fifth
grade, We also learned to get our
homework done on time or Mr.
Linthicum would make us rewrite
it fi.ve times. That year we learn­ed
a lot about tbe way a business
is run because we set up our own
little town with each J:erson having
their own little business, lee had
a "bank" that evidently got a lit­tle
messy, because Holly and Sis,
the "cleaning ladies,: literally
cleaned it out for him. We had
a fish tank that was very inter­esting;
everyone wanted to "touch"
it, but Mandy Schwartz and Clint
Pederson found out that "touching"
it a little too hard would tip it
over- and consequently kill all
of the fish.
During our sixth year, with Mrs,
Osborne, we took a field trip.
Since we had our own rock polish­er
in tbe room, we decided to go
to the gravel pit in Miles City to
find rocks suitable for polishing.
We also learned a lot about me tries
that year. We had to take a cake
recife and convert it ot metric
measurement. Holly, Lori, April,
Wyatt, and Clint made two cakes
this way- the little one for the
class and the big one for them,
Our seventh grade year was a
drag, we actually had to study to
get good grades. Mr. and Mrs.
Gardner taught us in math and
English that year. Mr. Gardner
gave everyone nicknames, some
examples of these are; Perry was
"Conebead," Kent was "Taxi­Cab
-with -the-Doors -Open, "
Sis was "Dizzy," Marilyn was
"Fat Rat," and lee was "leeford."
Seventh grade was also tbe year
in which we won the Best Dressed
trophy more than any other class
in the Elementary.
In the eighth grade we had Mr.
and Mrs, Southern for teachers,
The yea~ seeiOOd .to just drag by
)?ecause we CO'.!ld hardly wait to
;Sraduate from n gurnmer school,"
as we called it. We gained four
:students; Nora .Drew joined us from
_Robertso~-~cJ:!ool, and kvin 'wright,
Torn Loorms, and Charles Phipp;

'the country schools. Thrry Witt

Pine Grove, and Ron Ballensky,
Randy Pluhar, Rhonda McWilliams,
and Sandie Miller carne from
Cohagen.
OUr Freshman year was our most
traumatic, we had to endure hor­rendous
torture by the Seniorn. An
example ~our own "Pitchfork
Playgirl," April Trumbo, She had
to wear a string of garlic around
her neck, call pigs with an egg
in her mouth, and was supposedly
featured in tbe September issue
of "Farm Journal." Also this year,
some of the boys got together and
changed the "80" on the hill
overlooking Jordan to an impress­ive
and totally stunning "83".
The next day at noon the Seniors
took the n guilty" parties for a
little stroll up the hill and pres­ently
tbe "80" was restored. On
April Fool's Day a choice few of
our number decided to skip school
as a prank. Mr. Moore apparently
thought that this was a good idea
because he rewarded them with a
three day vacation. This year 1
alsoJhad one esJ:ecially hilarious
moment. One day in English, Mr.
Shutak was jingling the change
in his pockets against a book of
_!Da tches._ Tbe res•tlt was a puff
of smoKe. a little song arid i:!ince
;:outine by Mr. Sht:.tak, and aching
sides for tbe Freshmen. · ·
The next three years were not
marly as exciting as our first
because we were more "settled
down and rna ture. " The highlight
of our Sophomore year was cornin~
up with an ingenious plan for a
carnival booth: ours was called
"Dunk a Jordan Teacher." In all
actuality
1
we only got to throw water
balloons at them, but the results
were the same- tbey got wet and
we got revenge. This w.a.s the year
that both the girls' and the boys'
basketball teams went to Division-­als.
Responsibilities began to pile up
during our Junior year; we made
money for the \ Junior -Senior Prom
by holding a car wash. Most of us
came out cleaner than the cars l
But we did raise eqqu>?:h..m.onev ..to
pay prom ex);enses, and with a
loi: of elbow grease and participation.
the Prom was a huge success. The
theme was "Dreaming" and it was
done in the colors of dark and light
green. In the spring of this year,
some of the Juniors who were in
business classes got to go to· Rapid
City, South Dakota to the Nation
al College's Annual Business Tourn­ament.
We have finally reached our
Senior year and along with more
responsibilities bas come a little
bit of nervousness and excite­rnent.
Tbe early part of this year
was sfent getting Senior portraits
taken and figuring out where to
stop on your announcements list!
Another project was sending out ·
scholarship applications; however,
most of us were not like Diane
she picked over those she received
and sent back the rejections. ACT
tests were take!). again and although
~· Thomas. assl)red u.s they would
be easier this year, they weren't.
Soon we wi'u be leaving our Sen -­ior
position to the class of '84 and
as we leave the halls 'of G CHS to
step out into the wide wonderful
world on our own, \~e hoJ:e that you,
the class of '84, liav~. as many

Ron Ballensky, alias Bud, was born
on March 28, 1965, to Alan and Jan
Ballensky in Hardin, Montana. Ron
has one sister, Edie, and two brothers,
Mike and Bob.
Since his birth Ron has grown up
to admire his father and mother, and
to like to eat lasagna and drink Squirt.
~ also likes to watch his favorite
movie, s. 0. B. ; his favorite TV show,
Gallager; his favorite actor, John
Byner; and his -favorite actress, Jamie
Lee Curtis.
Ron can usually be found either
teaching his sister how to play basket­ball,
which is his hobby, or getting
out of work, which he claims is his
special talent. While relaxing he will
usually read the Garfield books, 1-5,
by his favorite author, Jim Davis.
~ may also be driving his favorite
automobile, his '79 Ford Mustang Turbo,
and listening to his favorite singer,
Eddie Money, or the song "Chained
Lightening". Some more of Ron's
favorites are the colors gloss red and
black.
When it comes to relating to
people, Ron finds that his favorites
are his brothers and Bonnie McCarthy.
His good influence is his father, and
his bad influences are Chuck Phipps
and Lee Billing. Mr. Deming is his
favorite teacher, but Shop is his
favorite class.
Ron's most memorable experience
was a night spent in Butte when he,
lee Billing, and Wyatt Colvin were
going to Dillon to attend Boys' State.
Apparently Lee had some hilarious
adventures that are hard to forget.
In the future, Ron plans to become
a successful farmer like his father, to
go to Vo-Tech school, and to buy
Argentina so that the U.S. can con­trol
the world grain market.

}
A '
Lee, was born to Randy and Gloria
Billing on ~cember 27, 1964.
"Hol" grew up enjoying horseback
riding, eating pizza, drinking Squirt,
and liking anything that is bright yel­low.
Holly greatly admires her grand­pa,
Ross Billing. She enjoys listening
to Air Supply, or the song" Don't
Stop Believing". In the evenings one
may find "Hol" watching "Hart to Hart"
or "It Takes Two" on TV, or she
might be studying accounting and
thinking out her future plans which
are to take accounting at E. M. c.
in Billings.
At school the next morning, Holly
could be found being teased about
her favorite person, Shane Harbaugh,
by any one of her favorite teachers,
Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Mansfield, or
Mr. Kloker.
During lunch hour, "Hol" would
probably head uptown in her Chevy
wv with her good influence, Diane
Kibler, or her bad influences,
Melodie Milroy and Charles Phipps.
In the evenings, Holly enjoys
going to the movies to see her
favorite actor and actress, Chevy
Chase and Goldie Hawn, in her
favorite movie, "Seems Like Old
Times".
Going to Divisionals in 1980 and
winning the Richey Invitational
Tournament in 1982 are two exper ­iences
that Holly will always re­member
from her high school
years.
I, Holly Billing, being of sound

"Wild Bill" plans Washington trip
il!!llii ...... ~~~'C'01
"Wild Bill" Billing, or Lee, as
he was originally named, was born
along with his twin sister, Holly,
on December 27, 1964, in Jordan,
MT. Holly is Lee's good influence
in life, and his father, Randy Bill­ing,
is his ma;t admired ~rson.
Lee's "Grandpa Ross" is whom Lee
woold like to s~nd time with the
ma;t. Another person Lee would like
to spend time with, but with disas­troos
results, is Chuck Phipps, who
is his bad influence.
Lee likes all singers, but he does
have one song that he particularly
likes, "Working for the Weekend."
"The Fall Guy" is a real treat for
Lee, because it is not only his favor­ite
TV show, but also stars his favor­ite
actor and actress, Lee Majors and
Heather Thomas.
Lee's hobbies have kept him busy
extracurricularly; they are basket­ball
and football. However, these
sports come easy for Lee , because
wren asked his s~cial ta1ent, Lee
replied, "I can walk." This must
have been quite an asset in football,
because Lee's fondest memory of
high school is beating Ekalaka in
football during his Senior year. Lee
gained all of this coordination by
eating p1enty of steak and downing
lots of Mountain Dew.
Mr. Kl.oker ranks as Lee's favor­ite
teacher; however, Shop is his
favorite class.
Lee is lucky that he likes the
color blue and Cbevy automobiJes,
because for one entire year he
was obligated to drive a battered
blue Chevy Luv to school until he
bought his own car.
After school, Lee plans to take
a trip to Washington.

Kent has musical abilities
On November 26, 1964, at the
Deaconess Hospital in Billings,
Alvin R.. and Darlene D. Clark
became the parents of a steak and
pizza eating son named Kent Kyle
but called "Superman" by most.
Kent's family already consisted
of two brothers, Dale and Alan,
and two sister, Donna (Williams)
and Karen (Witt). Both of Kent's
sisters are his favorite people, and
his mother is his most admired
person.
At school, Kent has two bad in­fluences,
Sis Shawver and Jo1e
Williams. Debbie Graham tries
to counteract this by acting as
Kent's good influence.
Kent likes to listen to the song
"Hard To Say I"m Sorry" or the
music of Dr. Hook, which is his
favorite group.
When going to the movies, Kent
enjoys a. tnovie starring Stephanie
Powers or Dustin Hoffman. Kent
likes to drink Diet Coke while watch­ing
his favorite movie "Creep Show"
or his favorite TV show "Dynasty."
Other ways that Kent likes to
spend time are waterskiing, horse­back
)iding, or reading.
Kent's favorite book is Forth ,
Unto The Light, and his favorite'
author is George Wallace.
Kent would like some day to own
his favorite type of automobile, an
RX -7, and it would probably be
light bhle, which is his favorite
color.
When it comes to special talents,
Kent's is listening to friends when
they have a problem.
When at school, Kent likes to gq
to his favorite classes, office mach-ines
and science, taught by his
favorite teachers, Mrs. Edwards
and Mrs. Mansfield.
The experience that Kent
remembers most is going to
Oregon this past summer
and seeing the Snake River.
After gradua don, Kent
plans to attend college at

Diane and Randy .influence Wyatt
Wyatt D. Colvin, a man of
unlimited talents, is the son of
Dallas and Adonna Colivin. He
was bom August 16, 1965, and
has one brother, Mark. Wyatt's
dad is his most admired ~rson.
Diane Kibler rates high on Wyatt's
list; she is both his good influence
and his favorite ~rson. Randall
Pluhar is Wyatt's bad influence.
A projected view of Wyatt may
find him cruising in his Rolls Royce.
He will most likely be listening
to the song "You Can Do Magic"
or the sounds of Journey.
Green, which is Wyatt's favorite
color, once brought him a bit of
bad luck. He got stopped by a
highway patrolman for having some
green lights (which are illegal)
mounted on the cab of his pickup.
Wyatt says this was his most mem­orable
experience.
When Wyatt has some spare time
he enjoys riding mo.>torcycles and
hunting. When the \veather does
not permit such activities, Wyatt
would be inclined to watch his
favorite TV show, "M.A.S.H."
Richard Hooker, who wrote the
book,M.A.S.H., is Wyatt's fav­orite
author. Other people whose
talents Wyatt admires are actor
Richard Pryor and actress Goldie
Ha-wn.
Wyatt says his future plans are
as of yet undecided.

On the morning of November
27, 1964, Jack A. and Audrey
D. Drew became the proud
parents of another bouncing
baby gii:l; Nora Kay, as she
was named, was the third of
four girls. She was destined to
become just one more trial
in her only brother, Bill's,
life. He was already hasseled
by eldest sister, Nedra, and
younger sister, Brenda. Monica
would not arrive on the scene
for another nine years.
Nora "grew" up eating her
favorite foods, steak and
mushrooms, and barbequed
chicken, and drinking her
favorite drink, orange juice.
Throughout her "growing"
years, Nora acquired such
nicknames as "Norie," "Runt­ski,;,
"Shortstroke," and
"Drewski."
High school has been made
more bearable for Nora by her
good influences, Holly Billing
and Diane Kibler, and much
more unbearable by her bad
influences, Wyatt Colvin and
Tom Stanton. A good way to
escape was to visit her favor­ite
class, Art, ler favorite
teacher, Mrs. Mansfield, or
her most admired people,
"Auntie" Rose and "Uncle"
Frank Ed\~ards.
After school and after work
at Ryan's Grocery, one could
find Nora doing any of her
several hobbies: reading (her
favorite book is Rifles for
Waitie and her favorite auth­or
is Stephen King) , jogging,
or sleeping. You might also
find rer using one of her
special talents, which in­clude
drawing, painting, and
putting up with short jokes.
She may be watching one of
her favorite movies, "Air­plane"
or "Zorro, the Gay
Blade." She may be listening
to Waylon Jennings sing "Dream­ing
My Dreams", or the music
of Emmylou Harris, or watching
her favorite actor, Tom
Selleck on her favorite TV
show, "Magnum, P.I." or she
rna y just be spending time with
her favorite and "mostest" admired
person, Phillip Losinski. Nora says
her most memorable experience
was spent with he·r favorite person
on New Year·s Ey~ in 1982.
In the future, Nora intends to
enjoy whatever she chooses to
do, and then retire to a huge log
cabin by a lake in tha mountains
and live happily ever after.
I, Nora Drew, being of sound
mind and body, will Sandra Bar­clay

put up-with crude teasing and
practical jokes, and my patience
and charm to Rosene Iehner so
that she can successfully endure
Tom Stanton without doing him

Debbie plans to travel
If one went down to the Home
Ec room and saw a girl enjoying
the company of her favorite teach­er,
Mrs. Bray, while cooking and
goofing off, that girl is sure to be
Ieborah D. Graham or "Iebbie"
or "Ieb" , as her friends call her.
This fish -eating, Mountain Iew­drinking
girl is the elltlest of the
three girls in her family; her little
sisters are Patty and Caroline. Her
p3.rents are Robert Graham and
Janet Sherer and she was bom
October 18, 1965, in Jordan.
Iebbie 's mom is her mosi: admired
~rson, while her favorite ~ople
are Tammy Phipps and Micrelle
Galla. Michelle also doubles as
Ieb's bad influence with Sis Shaw­ver,
despite the efforts of Craig
Riley, who is her good influence.
Iebbie ho~s to travel and see
different thing.> for a year before
going to college and a good way
to travel would be in a blue Fire­bird,
which is her favorite auto-mobile.
·
A good way for Debbie to relax
is to settle back with a favorite
book, The Promise by Danielle
Steele, or to catch "Dynasty" on
TV. She might also listen to John
Cougar or "China Girl, " her favor­ite
song. "Porkies" is the movie
Ieb remembers most and she en­joys
the acting of Robert Redford
and Jane Fonda.
Looking back, Prom night 1982
is a most memorable experience
for Iebbie, and she says she will
never forget all of the fun she's
had in high school.

But such is fate! Tom grew to be
his own favorite person by eating
lots of tacos and pizzas washed
down with Mello Yello.
Tom admires "Gramps" Loomis
most but is influenced best by his
dad. He says Oaig Shawver is a
bad influence on him by taking

Perry really admires his dad, but
his favorite person is Christy Green.
When Perry needs to rounteract
the effects of b~ing around his bad
influenre, Chuck Phipps , he goes
home to be with his good influence,
his mom.
Evenings could find Perry in front
of his TV, preferably watching "The
Fall Guy," which stars his favorite
actress, Heather Thomas. He would
ptobably be e.1 ting some pizza and
drinking a Coke.
if the opportunity to see a movie
a rose, Perry would probably choose
"The Jerk" or anything starring
Burt Reynolds.
Perry enjoys pranks
When Perry is at school, his fa v­orite
class is study hall, where he
can sit and wish to be somewhere
else, perhaps playing football or
listening to T.G. Sheppard sing
"Partytime." One way to escape
study hall would be to visit his fav­orite
teacher, Al Johnson.
furry hkes Chevys, and if he were
to own one, he would most likely
opt for one in blue, which is his
favorite color.
In his Freshman year, Perry part­icipated
in the great change of the
"80" on the hill above Jordan to an
impressive "83" ; this event is
Perry's most memorable experience.
Working at home are Perry's
immediate future plans.

The Homecoming King of
1982 is none other than our own
Charles A. (Chuck) Phipps. He
comes from a large family, the
parents of which are Curtis and
Flossie Phipps. Charles \~as
born on April 25, 1965, and is
the eldest of the seven boys in
his family; his "baby brothers"
include Merl, Tony, Kyle, Clyde,
Justin, Cal, and Chad. Charles
was preceded in birth by two sis­ters,
Brinda and Twila, and has
one little sister, Cinda. Charles'
parents are spec1al to him; his
mom is his favorite person and
his dad is his ma;t admired.
The acting of Burt Reynolds
and Dolly Parton is enjoyable
to Chuck, but tre one movie
re really remembers well is
"Porky's." At home, Charles
watches "The Fall Guy" on TV,
or reads Gunsmith , or any book
by Louis L'Amour.
At school, Charles gets a
kick out or Study Hall during
second hour, and he likes all
teachers- "Mr. , Mrs. , or Miss"
He is influenced in two ways:
for better by Darla Stanton, and
for worse by Loren Spillum.
Hot rod ding around town is one
of Charles' hobbies; he does this
in his favorite autpmobile, a
'67 Chevy, whic'h is blue, his
favorite color. He may .also be
listening to "It Ain't Easy Being
Easy" or going hunting. Provisions
Chuck would need to go hunting
probably would include shrimp
and Sql:lirt·
His skill at basketball and
singing are two talents that are
uniquely Charles'.
Chuck remembers Mohawks
An experience that will always
be remembered by Charles and
many others was a popular trend
that he started; getting a mohawk
haircut in the middle of basket­ball
season.
After graduation, Chuck intends
to move away from Jordan for
some time , and then later retum
to his parents' ranch.

the birthplace of yet another baby
destined to become a member of
the class of '83; Randall L. Pluhar
was bom to Betty Y. and the late
leonard c. Pluhar. Randall had
to grow up tough and strong by
eating soft -shelled tacos, washed
down with lots of :Mello Yello,
because he had four older brothers,
"Buster," Steve, Chris, and "Boop."
re also had three older sisters.
JoAnn, Jean, and Hazel.
"Bip" as Randall was nicknamed,
enjoys being with his favorite per­son,
Rosene Iehner, who is also
his good influence. However, when
he is unfavorably influenced, you
can bet that .Bip· is with Wyatt
Colvin, probably watching his
favorite movie, "The Best."
Randall's favorite 1ctor, Garfiel4~
did not star in this movie, but he
does appear on the pages of Randall1 ~
favorite books, which are written
by Jim Davis.
At school, Randall enjoys vis­iting
his favorite teacher, Mrs.
Bray, in his favorite class, Child
Development.
Randall admires Jerry Collins,
the acting of Jaclyn Smith, ~m­borghini
cars, and the colors yellow·
and metallic black.
He enjoys watching "Bizzare"
on 1V, listening to the s runds of
Billy Squire or "Emotions in Mot­ion"
on his stereo, or motorcycle
riding.
Randall says that his special
talent is being himself.
The experience Randall most
remembers is changing the "80"
on the hill above Jordan to an
"83" as a "group _project" when
we weD:! Freshmen.
In the future, Randall plans to
go to college to become a mech­anic
and hopefully assist Mike

May 25, 1965, to Phil and Darlene
Shawver; she joined brothers Claude
("fete") and Oyde at home. Wayne
later took "Sissy's" place as baby
of the family. fete has been a
model brother by being Sis's good
influence, while all of her friends
work together to be her bad influ­ence.
Sis's mom is her favorite per­son
and her grandfather, Ray
Shawver, his the person she most
admires.
Sis likes to play pool while en­joying
a hamburger pizza and some
Mountain Dew and listening to
"You Dropped a Bomb On Me" or
something by her favorite group,
• 38 Special. If Sis were more in­clined
to spend a quiet evening at
home, she would most enjoy catch­ing
"Urban Cowboy," her favorite
movie, or "Dynasty," her favorite
TV show. Sis admires the acting
talents of Ken Shriner. She could
also curl up with her favorite book,
Vermillion.
At school, Mrs. Bray heads Sis's
favorite teacher list and the class
she teaches, Home Ec., is the one
Phyllis enjoys the most.
Sis's most memorable experience
during her high school years hap­pened
when she and Rhonda Mc­Williams
shared a hotel room while
in Miles City for a basketball toum ­ament.
Their room was broken into
and all of their clothes were stolen.
In the future, Sis plans to take a
trip to Michigan and an ideal way
to get there would be to drive in
her favorite automobile, a Ferrari,
which would most likely be black,
which is Sis's favorite color. Later,
she plans to become a truck driyer.

influence April. April admires
Archie McDonald more tba:l any­one
else she knows.
April's own car is her favorite
automobile, and it is a shade of
her favorite color, which is blue.
While cruising around the streets
of Jordan in the evenings, April
may be eating pizza and drinking

For some different form of
evening entertainment, April

being "E. T". or something star­ring
Burt Reynolds and Sally Fields.
If April chooses a quiet evening
at home, she watcres "Dynasty"
on 1V, reads her favorite book,
Ecstacy's Empire, or studies some
mathematics, whicll is her favor­ite
subject. Mrs. Mansfield is
April's favorite when teachers
are the subject under •discussion,
and wren it comes to college,

Going to Japan in the summer

for April, because it
included having a good time,

One bright morning, April 25,
1965, in a Mason City, Iowa,
hospital, a baby girl was born to
Frank and Patricia West (Clark).
After much consideration, they
decided to call her Lori Jane.
She joined two sisters already at
home, Patty and Francine.
Lori grew up eating pork
roast and applesauce and drinking
orange juice. She likes to settle
down and read The Promise, or a
book by Stephen King. or listen to
the music of Air Supply.
If Lori can't find a good book
to read, she likes to watch "Seems
Like Old Times", her favorite
movie, starring Chevy Chase and
Goldie Hawn, her favorite actor
and actress, at the movies, or
stay home and watch "~A*S*H".
You might also find her listening
to "Now and Forever", her fav­orite
song, and studying Govern­ment,
her favorite subject. This
is taught by her favorite teacher,
Mr. Kl.oker, and Patty West, her
favorite person would probably
be helping her study for a famous
"Kl.oker Killer Test".
Other favorites of Lori's include
the colors brown and gray.
Lori admires Helen Keller. Her
good influence is "sam" and her
bad influence is Jole Williams.
Lori's most memorable experience
was meeting relatives of hers after
14 years during the summer of
1982. Within 10 years, Lori plans
to be living in a condo in New
York City and driving an Olds­mobile
Cutlass Supreme.

than anyone, but brother Todd
seems to bring out the worst in ·
Sandi by being her bad influ­ence.
Lori West neutralizes
Todd's effect on Sandi by

He does have other interests, such
as skiing, hunting, shooting, snow­mobiling
a·nd math. His s~cial
talents include demolitions and
flying.
He will probably never retire,

sit back, relax and listen to tunes
such as "Hotel California", Promises
in the Dark" or anything sung by his
favorite group, Loverboy.
Kevin's retirement plan may also
include watching re-runs of
"Magnum P. I. " or anything \vith
