Not much can be remembered about those good old days except that Harold and Phillip were buddies (at least some of the time). Our teacher for the first two years was Mrs. Dye; and for the third and fourth years, Mrs. Lucere. We had our fights; some of which we lost, but we had a lot of fun. One year we had a track contest and long-legged Harold won in the races. Our fifth year started with only two members: Harold Dover and Phillip Lilley. By this time we were beginning to know each other better; therefore we had fewer fights. School work was rather difficult because of History. Our teacher was Mrs. Beck. We also had an art teacher, Mrs. Phillips. The beginning of the sixth year found Harold Dover, Mary Piane, and Phillip Lilley at the starting post. Mary came to Buffalo from Havre and joined our class0 The boys made maps of South America and they wouldn’t let Mary work with them. Incidentally, the boys received A s and Mary, B. Our teacher for this year was Mrs. Jack Steel, The seventh year found only three pupils in the class. They were: Mary Piane, Harold Dover, and Phillip Lilley. During this year we had our first experience on the second floor. Our Literature was taught to us by Mrs. Sammons upstairs� We felt proud to think that we had the privilege of doing this, for the last year’s class was not allowed to do so. Our other teacher was Miss Burke. The same pupils enrolled in the eighth grade, but we found a lot of changes. We were upstairs all day and had several teachers. For History, we had Miss Sutherland. She was also our Principal and was very strict. Asa result we behaved better than usual. Our Civics teacher was Miss George. Our Science teacher and home room teacher was Mrs, Lanagan. During the year we made several field trips to get rocks and other material for study� At the close of the year, we had a banquet in the late afternoon. That night we received our eighth grade diplomas. This caused us to think we were really brilliant—until we started high school� In the fall of 1947, six shy Freshmen entered the doors of Buffalo High School to begin the four year course. We were: Mary Piane, Bob Store, Jim Swiney, Wayne Best, Phillip Lilley, and Harold Dover. The faculty included: Mr. and Mrs. Jay and Mr� Ashcraft. Wayne Best and Jim Swiney quit school early in the year. In the spring, Mr. Ashcraft left to accept a government job. When we, Freshmen, were beginning to feel at home, the Sophomores initiated us by making us dress in ridicu- lous clothing. Then they gave us a party. We also had to paint the “Bs on the hill with toothbrushes. The next year we came back to school feeling more confident� Bob Store had joined the Navy. Miss Laeback was the new Commercial teacher. We took part in a play called “Mountain Justice. ' The Freshmen were initiated by us. It rained so we couldn’t make them whitewash the “B.” In May, we took a trip to Missoula to see the track meet. In our Junior year, 1950, we worked with the lone Senior, Colin Dover, on the annual and paper. Our new teachers were: Mr. Ell, Superintendent of Schools; Mrs. Mulvihill, Commerical teacher; Mrs. Woodard, English teacher; and Mr� Darcangelo, basketball coach and Junior High instructor. A three-act mystery-comedy, called “The Night Cry” by Noel Flaurier, was given March 19th. The P. T� A. helped us 12 put on a very satisfactory Junior-Senior Athletic Banquet. After the banquet was over, we went to the show. Mary Piane, our classmate, was chosen Queen and Phillips, King of the Prom. Mary ordered her class ring. Our Senior year, we had two new teachers: Mr. Abrams, Superintendent of Schools; Miss Wehder, Commercial and Mathematics instructor. Mr0 Abrams started a course in Agriculture. Phillip and Harold ordered their class rings. At the same time the class ordered announcements and “thank you5’ cards. This year we had charge of the paper, “Booster 9 and the annual “Buffalo0“ The play “Almost Eighteen,“ a three-act comedy-drama by Dana Thomas, was given. Baccalaureate Services were held May 20th. Commencement, May 23rd, found us in our caps and gowns. Then we left our cherished school of Buffalo. 13 Class Will I, Harold Dover, being a Senior and working with the other Seniors, am interest- ed in our plans to bequeath certain aids to our friends and teachers. I am sure it is safe to tell our ideas to you because both the Seniors seemed to be of sound mind when they related this will to me0 We have always thought a lot of our teachers for their patience in teaching and working with us; therefore we wish to express our thanks and bequeath: To Mr. Abrams: Our ability to spell� To Miss Wehder: Our worn out bookkeeping sets. To Mrs. Woodard: The thriving Junior Class. To Mr� Darcangelo: Our ability to make baskets. The Seniors wish to bequeath to their friends: To Hank: We leave the mud under our desks. We hope you appreciate cleaning it up, Hank. To Opal: We leave our good appetite. We certainly shall miss your wonderful meals as well as our visits with you in the lunch room. Mary wishes to bequeath: To Christine her place as local news editor on the paper staff. Caution to Jean: Don’t let the boys divert you. To Benton: Her ability to read her English lesson before class. To LaVonne: What is left of her English workbook. To Mary Alice: She leaves her typewriter and wishes her the best of lucko Phillip wills: To Benny Petersen his ability to play basketball. To Johnny: His Agriculture book. We hope it helps him in running his tractor. Caution Gertrude: Boys are not a dime a dozen. To Charlie: His studious ways. To Clifford: His ability to keep calm. I, Harold, wish to leave to my friends: First, to my dear sister, Ella, my place on the paper staff. To Hayden: My place as captain of a good basketball team. To Georgie: The size ’’twelve0’ shoes I wear. I hope they fit you. To Joan a warning: Do not let little things bother you. To Susie: The position 1 had as President of the student body of Buffalo High School. 14 Class Prophecy In the year of 1970, I, an alumnus of Buffalo High School, have been entrusted to investigate the three Senior graduates of the Class of 1951. First on my list, alphebetically, was Harold Dover. We thought he was planning to become a farmer; but on looking up his address, I found it to be, 231380 West Jane ax Street, Chicago, Illinois. He must not be a farmer. When I came to his house, I knocked; but no one answered the door. The baby was crying. Therefore I wasn’t heard, until he stopped. Then a lady came to the door. I asked if this was the residence of Harold Dover. His wife said it was and invited me it. I told her I would like to know where her husband was. She said that he would be home soon. There- fore, I sat down to wait. It was about noon and Mrs. Dover was getting dinner ready. She had a very modern kitchen and all the conveniences that a family could want. Looking out the window, I saw a big Cadillac arrive at the front gate. A very well- dressed man stepped out of the car. Being very happy to see Harold again, I went out to meet him0 He cordially invited me to dinner. As it was placed on the table, five hungry-looking children walked in. He introduced me to his children, whose names were: Archibald, Cab all, Miles, Floella, Dorcas, and the baby, Jerome. After I had met his children and had dinner, Harold started explaining what he had done since he left old B. H. S. He had joined the Army. He said he had helped fight many battles; therefore he had won many honors and become a second lieutenant. On the way home, he met the lady who is now his wife. He explained that she was from the Hawaiian Islands. She had long black hair and was very pretty. After they were married, they had built their pretty home. Harold said he had a job at the Federal Bank and Trust Company where he worked himself up to the Presidency. As I now had all the information needed, I bade Harold and his family good-bye and was on my way to interview Phillip Lilley. I found that Phillip was going to college after leaving B. H. S. Looking in the telephone book, I found his address to be 21647 Wataski Street, St. Louis, Missouri. He was not going to college; but he had become a doctor in the Deaconess Hospital of St. Louis. Going to the hospital, I found his office and asked his secretary if Doctbr Lilley was there. She said he was in the operating room performing an emergency. She asked me if I wanted to see him. After I had waited two hours, a door opened, and out came four men carrying something in a blanket. After they pass- ed me, I saw that there was a dead man in the blanket. Then I heard someone say, Too bad, Doc, you should have taken your tools out before sewing him up,” Phillip, recognizing me, took off his operating clothes and came over to talk to me. Then I questioned him about himself. He wiped the sweat off his brow and seem- ed very fatigued. Since he had finished at the hospital for the day, I gladly accepted his invitiation for dinner at his home. While calling an “atomobile, Phillip explained that his car was in a garage being changed to run on atomic energy. After the atomobile arrived, it seemed only seconds until we came to Phillip’s residence. He lived in a very select neighborhood; and he seemed to have the best house, which was of solid marble. As the atomobile pulled away two small boys came out to meet their daddy. I asked if he had more children. He said “Yes, I have two older daughters. ’ Upon my inquiry if they were living with him, Phillip said, “No, they are not married yet.’’ 15 We entered the house and Phillip introduced me to his wife. She was very short, plump, and seemed quite jolly--a good match for Phillip! It was getting late, and in spite of Phillip5s invitation to stay all night, I told him I had to be on my way. I thanked him for his hospitality and departed. Last on our list was Mary Piane. My notes said that she was going to be a primary teacher. I looked in various telephone directories, but couldn’t find her residence. Then I went to see her mother, who still lived in Buffalo. She told me that Mary was teaching in the primary grades in a city near the Canadian border and Glacier Park. The only way to reach this place was by airplane. It was time for me to depart to interview Mary. Finally, I arrived at the school- house after a very tiresome tripc I knocked on the door and there appeared a pretty, well-dressed lady who seemed worried about something,, Upon entering the room, I saw the trouble. There was a poor, little boy crying in a corner. Mary explained that this boy had carved his initials on his desk and she had punished him. I asked her how many pupils she had and she told me twenty-five. After school, we went into the teacher age 0 I started questioning her about what had happened since she had left Buffalo. While at college, Mary and a young man in her class had fallen in love and married. But, due to the fact that he was a Navy Captain on active duty in the China Seas, I did not have the pleasure of meeting him. Mary was teaching until he could return. Then they would re-establish their home on the Atlantic Coast. The return trip was filled with pleasant memories of my high school friends. 16 Juniors Benton Dover, LaVonne Gardener, John Flugge.

Hayden Rentfrow, Clifford Ristine, Billy Kjersem, and Jackson Stellingwerf were all new members of the squad. Billy Kjersem and Jackson Stellingwerf did not complete the year with the team as they left school in January0 The team improved rapidly from the start. It lost most of the games played, but was able to threaten the other teams considerably. The boys also showed very good sportsmanship even though they sometimes lost by only five or six points0 Most of the players will return next year and Mr. Darcangelo also hopes to be back. The boys who earned recognition this year were: Harold Dover, Captain and center; Phillip Lilley, Co-captain; Bennie Petersen, left forward; George Crabtree, right forward; Hayden P entfrow, right guard; Sonny Ristine, left guard; Benton Dover, and John Flugge. The grade basketball team was coached by Mr. Darcangelo and the squad con- sisted of: Robert Crabtree, Captain; Hilliard McDonald, Roger Petersen, Dannis Woodard, Daniel Crabtree, Arthur Dover, Floyd Biehl, and Lloyd Crabtree0 They played several games this year and put up a good scrap at all times, but due to their lack of height, they were unable to cope with their opponents. We all hope that next year they will have some height to enable them to do better. With all these difficulties to overcome, they were still the best of sportsc Their teamwork, plus ability, give promise of better teams in the future. Girls’ Physical Training At the beginning of the year, the girls played baseball with the boys0 When the boys started basketball practice, the girls began to play volleyballo On the days when there were basketball games, the boys would play volleyball with the girls. But, being there were more boys, they would beat the girls. There are nine girls in high school: Mary Piane, LaVonne Gardner, Joan Fairbanks, Jean Nevin, Ella Dover, Gertrude McDonald, Susie Nall, Christine Fairbanks, and Mary Alice Dover. The seventh and eighth grade girls include: Connie Scritchfield, Lois Jean Flugge, Anita June Dover, Genevieve McDonald and Maralyn Dover. We played a volleyball game with Judith Gap. Pep Club The cheerleaders chosen were: LaVonne Gardner, Ella Dover, and Jean Nevin for the high school; Connie Scritchfield, Maralyn Dover, and Genevieve McDonald for the grades. At first our cheerleaders had to practice very hard to learn to co- ordinate the yells with their motions0 When this was accomplished, the Pep Club members enjoyed learning new yells. All of us feel that we could not get along without our cheering section at the games. 24 Student Council Officers LaVonne Gardner, Mrc Abrams, Harold Dover, Phillip Lilley, Jean Nevin0 Student Council BACK ROW: CENTER ROW: FRONT ROW: Mr. Abrams, Miss Wehder, Mrs. Woodard, Jackson Stellingwerf, Bennie Petersen, Billy Kjersem, George Crabtree, Mary Alice Dover, Phillip Lilley, Clifford Ristine, Harold Dover, Benton Dover, Charles Crabtree, LaVonne Gardner, Christine Fairbanks, Jean Nevin, Gertrude McDonald, Mary Piane, Ella Dover, Joan F airbanks. 26 High School Play Lights’ Camera! Action® “That’s my cue’ “Noj it is not! You come in later.” These were comments that were heard early in the month of March. The parties concerned were members of the Buffalo High School, who had parts to learn for the play0 “Almost Eighteen” was a comedy-drama in three-acts by Dana Thomas. It was dramatized at the Buffalo Community Hall, April 13, 1951. The cast was as follows William Barry - - - - - Grace Barry - - - - - Beatrice Barry - - - - • Eddie Barry - - - - - Mabel Warren - - - - - Mrs. Granville - Miss Dalrymple - - - - • Sally Davidson - - - - - Ann Sherman - - - - - Mr. Merritt - - - - - George Jones - - - - - Tommy Granville - - - - Phillip Lilley - - - Mary Paine - - Joan Fairbanks - - Bennie Petersen - - - Jean Nevin Gertrude McDonald - - - Ella Dover - - - Susie Nall LaVonne Gardner - - Harold Dover -Hayden Rentfrow - - Clifford Ristine The plot concerns Eddie who is “almost eighteen.” He has the troubles of any boy of that age3 First he upsets the household by his ambitions to be a crooner, then by entering a contest in which he disgraces his family. This embarrassing situation is cleared up by his Uncle George; and Eddie wins two hundred and fifty dollars as well as the heart of his ideal, Ann. Father Barry steals the show with his shouting orders, throwing newspapers, and giving expostulations about how things should be’. He never did any of these things when he was Eddie’s age! All the characters add color and charm.

A short program was given by the grades after which the fish pond, the beauty shop, notions stand, baseball throw, dart throw, fortune telling, and bingo occupied the attention of kilo Later in the evening, the floor was cleared of all booths except the bingo. Then we enjoyed dancing to the music of Meyer°s Orchestra. The ladies of the P� T. A. served lunches throughout the evening. This made a valuable contribution to the school fund. Ella Dover and Charles Crabtree received the most votes and were crowned Queen and King of the Carnival respectively. Mrs. Joe Piane had the lucky number for the beautiful Coronado radio0 Gert Petersen won the pretty clock and Mrs0 Hugh Washburn received the door prize, a “ship90 lamp. Mr. Beach Vestal auctioned off the articles that were not given away as prizes in bingo� The carnival was a financial success because over one hundred and sixty dollars was added to the fund� The business organizations of Buffalo and Lewistown contributed many valuable prizes. Initiation September 29, 1950, at eight o’clock, the Sophomores entertained the Freshmen after their hard day of Initiation at the schoolo Several games were enjoyed and a delicious lunch was served afterwards0 Christmas Party December 22, 1950, we had a Christmas party at school in which several games were played and presents opened.

The steep paths of life lead upward to hill tops fair What joy to reach the heights, and standing there- Though the climb be hard, and long The climbing will make you strong. For the good things of life, most hard to gain We treasure most, and forget the strain; They bring to our hearts the sweetest thrill When we’ve climbed the top of the hill. May the wisdom imparted at “Buffalo High,5’ Give you strength as years go by; And, “Make your best better,” in all that you do- Be Generous, be Kind, is my wish for you. --Edna G. Bennett 35 1.
