Hunter Jappe
Some words from his mom:
Hunter Severin Jappe, is the son of Larry and Marie Jappe.
He has one older brother, Lawrence Jappe.
Growing up, Hunter always preferred hanging out with the "older crowd". This probably still holds true. When he was little he looked up to his older brother and his friends. Hunter enjoyed visiting with the "grown ups" at brandings. Blessed with a super quick wit he could be very entertaining himself. "Buck and Rick" were his go to cohorts. Present day, many of his closest friends are previous BSHS graduates.
Hunter has also always loved anything with a motor. Starting with knowing every kind of tractor as a toddler, to riding 4 wheeler's and motorcycles, to driving anything he could; as soon as he was allowed. Now, his favorite possession and hobby is his diesel pickup. He spends a lot of time, effort, and money perfecting his ride. Which is proving to be helpful, as he is looking to work to earn more money, for his pickup. This interest of his has helped shape his future plans. Hunter will be attending MSU Northern in the fall, majoring in Diesel Technology.
Hunter has always had a determined, independent spirit. He is so ready to move on to the next chapter in his story.
"Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be."
-Grandma Moses
The first time I met Hunter, he told me he was going to skip college and the army and go straight to the Mint. And while I know he does have plans for college, that humor and twinkle in his eye is still very much there. Life will be what you make it Hunter, and I am sure your life will be full of lots of fun and adventures. Good luck to you HJ, I can't wait to see all the great things you do!

Audrey Sipler
Audrey is the daughter of Charlie and Lisa Summer Sipler.
Here's the story Audrey wanted to share-
I have lived in Big Sandy, Montana my whole life. I am the youngest of my family, with two older brothers. When I was four years old, my love of dance sprouted and continues to grow now. A few years later, I also fell in love with playing the flute, piano, and ukulele starting in the 4th grade! I recently helped bring back the High School Cheer team, creating a passion for that too. The arts have always been apart of my life, and it is something I would like to carry with me after high school. As of now, I plan on attending MSU in Great Falls, MT. My major is undecided, but I have thought about elementary education or dental assisting. I can't wait to begin a new journey soon!
Audrey, the quote I picked for you is "You have to dance a little bit before you step out into the world each day, because it changes the way you walk."
-Sandra Bullock
Sweet Audrey Sipler (or Sip-u-ler as my Georgia would say) what a wonderful soul you are. I obviously picked this quote because it talked about dancing but I also picked it because I think you have this attitude. I am certain that you are not always as happy as you seem but that beautiful smile is on your face almost all the time. You know how to face the world with a happy disposition and that is what will make you a success. Keep dancing, keep smiling, and keep laughing, you change the world with all of it.
