CLASS POEM Let's go through the doors of fame and begin this poem with some korney name! Ivan is our station boy, he cleans the car windows with joy ! Jean Morton is a soda jerk, she gets in on gobs of work. Carren Newell can be counted on for gossip old and new for the telephone office is the place to hear what others say and do. John E. has been loved and lost by many, the dark, and light and fair; he ain't caught yet but he might be soon, spring fever is in the air. Ramona Bectold hails from out South where the roads are drifted full; she makes it through no matter how bad in time to get to school. Gloria's the gal with the galaxy of chins and she's far from under-weight, she's got a wit and her clever remarks keep classes up to date. Let's talk to A1 Grenstiner here by the door, he says he just can't wait; he's on his way to English VI, half an hour late. Curly Locks Corey is another one, who winks at the girls every day; he says he likes it ... it sure is fun, and it helps pass time away. Rena is tired of single life she has a diamond new -— wants to be a little wife , so she's gonna say, I do . And Florence Maier has got plans too which show on her little left hand, it's dazzling, diamond, and expensive too for some poor hapless man. Pat and Tessie are quite a pair, they're going steady still—if you can't find them anywhere, they're probably out having a thrill ! Anna, our little country lass opened her locker door, someone stacked it while she was in class, and her books fell out on the floor.

By the time we reached the fifth grade we had a few new students. They were Richard Arehart, Al- fred Grenstiner, James Hurley, Dennis Lovec, Walter McDougall, Jack Brese, Jerome Rasmussen, Robert Perry, Barbara Bell, Ferdella Carlson, Mary Cline, Jean Huber, Bonita Lee, Florence Maier, Jean Mor- ton, Jo Ann Schultz, Sharron Maggerise, and Carol Noftsker. During this time we also lost a few mem- bers. We started Junior High with 15 boys and 19 girls. The new students who came between the fifth grade and High School were Byron Manke, Carol Rose, Mary Lou Woodsend, Norma Kay Clayton, Jerry Gonsioroski, Charles Greenfield, Chester Greenfield, Gene Wintermote, Wilbur Wiseman, Sid Baldwin, Pairrish Meadors, Patsy Brayion, June Bruce, Alice Linden, Laura Pierce, Lenore Pratt, and Fern Noft- sker. In Junior High we took the JC basketball championship at the tournament held at Baker. On November 4, 1956 the first annual Football Day was held. The candidate from our class, Sally Ann Griffith, was the first Football Queen. Although the Spartans lost to the Wolf Point Wolves we had a wonderful time at the dance where we honored the Spartans. Phe Junior Prom was Held April 28, 1956. We honored the mighty seniors in grand fashion by deco- rating the gym in pink, blue, and gray with the theme Poor People of Paris. In the center of the gym we erected our own Eiffel Tower and printed a gay mural with twirling can-can dancers at one end of the room. We served refreshments behind a side-walk cafe. On October 12, 1956 we held another Football Day. Vivian Roy was crowned Football Queen. We made a huge success of the day by winning over the Scobey Spartans. For the first time a parade was held on this day with floats made by each class carrying the Queen candidates. In the judging of the floats, the senior float was judged best. That night we honored the Spartans by having a dance to cele- brate their victory. CARTER SERVICE STATION GAMBLES
