Senior Class Poem We the class of ’49 Who love to sing, dance and dine ave gathered here to say goodbye To the good old days in Harlo Hi. To our sponsor we propose a toast, We think she’s something about which to boast, All year long we’ve had her in a frenzy So here’s our best to Miss MacKenzie. Glen Taylor, the president of our class, ii served us very well in the past. For Rosalie Ortwein he carries a torch, And together you’ll find them out on the porch. In our class we have a bride to be, . ne will be married in June you see. Dick Henthorn is her only beaux By now you’ve guessed it, it’s Patty Jo. Helen Cavanaugh, so lovable and loud, Her laugh in the show almost deafens the crowd. To accomplish typing for her was a feat, But as for history, she can’t be beat. Bill Amdor with his curly blond hair Always has a look of despair. He’s tall and thin and a very good sport, And he really is a likeable sort. Phyllis Bird, our carnival queen, W th Billy Wyman is usually seen. She’s always in a hurry, and never at ease, But we generally find her easy to please. Theresa Gibson, the shy little lass, Is the inspiration of the Senior Class. We all wish we could act like her, As she’s the type most mothers prefer. Helen Law has one ambition, And that is to be a mathematician. She is going to attend M. S. U. this fall And is always at Lucas’s beck and call. Stumbling down the hall at half past nine He comes very seldom and never on time. To all the teachers he causes a fuss, Don Wallace is his name, but he’s Sleepy to us. Bertie Spogen, our cheerleading gal, o the Harlo Hi teams is really a pal. She’s always been active in all kinds of sport, But, as you all know, California’s her port. Francis Manseau is a quiet little thing. We’ve never heard him whistle or sing. He’s really smart, but mostly in Math, We hope that the freshmen will follow his path. Jean Jellison, the girl with the flaming red hair, We think she and Butch will make a good-looking pair. She’s happy go lucky, cheerful and gay, And made quite a hit in the Senior Class Play. Next we have a girl named Jeanie, Can either be seen with Kenny or Queenie. She had admirers numbering twenty, She’ll soon be married, not to Queenie, but Kenny. There’s a boy in our class who plotted and schemed And finally got kicked off the basketball team. His good disposition has led him to fame, by now you’ve guessed it, George Cowie’s the name Jeannie Anderson, the belle of the ball, She’ll take all the boys, if she could handle them all.. She used to get mad and sulk all day, When things in typing didn’t go her way.

Our next stop was Seattle, where we found PHYLLIS BIRD. She owns the Moot- cha Soda Fountain. Phyllis inquired about the people back home and her main in- quiry was about Billy Wyman. She has a thriving business and seems very happy. Our next stop was Couer d’ Alene, Idaho. As we were hungry, we stopped at a hamburger stand along the road and while there, a smooth looking Cadillac drove up. We were remarking about what a nice car it was, and who should jump out of it but JEAN ANDERSON.After recovering from our surprise we asked her how she rated a good looking car like that. She tells us she is working in Seattle as head buyer for a large clothing concern. Our next stop was Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho where we found DON SIVERTSON and JOE KNIGHT as lumberjacks. Joe and Don are big, husky fellows and the girls really go for them in a big way. They say all they are interested in is chopping down trees and that girls don’t bother them a bit We know that someday they will change their minds, and we wouldn’t mind being around when they do. It seems that a number of our class have settled in Idaho as we also found PAUL MUNETA and FRANCIS MANSEAU there working in the Atomic Bomb Plant. Francis finally got that new car. Paul apparently isn’t as bashful as he used to be, as he is married and has two of the cutest little boys you have ever seen. We hopped over to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to se ELAINE PARSONS. Elaine is a teacher of History and she says she loves it. We asked her if the pupils gave her a rough time like we gave the teachers in school. She said they did for awhile, but she has the upper hand now. We can understand that, as Elaine is no featherweight. Elaine is a very good teacher and her pupils adore her. We flew to Montana and it seemed good to be back in the home state again. We stopped in Billings to see GEORGE and DOROTHY COWIE.. George is a professional wrestler with Coach Williams as his manager. Dorothy is a stewardess on Northwest Airlines. They don’t see much of each other as each is pursuing separate careers. We left Billings in a cloud of dust and in a few minutes landed in Harlo on the new landing field. Our first stop was Wil-Rays. We found JAMES SATAKE sitting there looking very pleased with himself. James tells us he finally saved enough mon- ey to buy Troy’s Cycle Shop and is going into business soon. We wished him good luck and went to see JEAN MUGGENBERG. Jean now owns a seamstress shop. She has a full time job keeping up her Sewing Shop and her home too. She invited us over for cake and coffee and as we were anxious to see her house, we accepted. We found everything as neat as a pin. Honestly, we don’t see how she does it. Our next stop was MARY LOU AICHER’S. They finally bought the place they were living in. Mary Lou no longer works part time at the Courthouse because she has a full time job taking care of the newest addition to her family of three. We wanted to see the former JEAN JELLISON and Butch before going to Ana- conda to see VELMA HAWKINS, so we stopped at their home. We found Butch working and Jean busy baking cookies. She says she wouldn’t trade married life for anything. We knew she meant it because she looked very happy. We then took off for Anaconda to see VELMA and Everett. Upon arrival we found Velma digging in the garden with her twins tied to the clothesline. We asked her why she kept them tied on leashes and she said if she didn’t she never knew where they were, as they were just like their father. We found BETTY PICKARD in Missoula working in the Dean’s office as advisor to the students. Betty likes her job very well and we can understand why. They have pretty good looking men there. In Kalispell we ran into MISS MACKENZIE. She is still teaching. She says that she is hanging on for the old age pension or something of the sort, but we know different. She just hasn’t made up her mind yet, that’s all. We had one more stop to make and that was Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, so we bade fond farewell to Miss MacKenzie and took off. The last member of the class is hiding out there. That’s right. It’s BEULAH POSPISIL. She said the men she had on the string got to closing in, so she moved out. That takes care of the whole class. Wo are very proud of all of them and we know you are too.We think they have all done very well, each in his own way. Thank you, COMMITTEE Jean Jellison, Patty Jo Kingham

Alice Farra who lives in Tucker addition, Has two main sports, hunting and fishing. She can cook, sew and fix a car, With skills like that she should go very far. Shirley Schultz, who has spasms of laughter, When she goes out of town, it’s a boy she’s after. She’s tall and peppy and very slim, And full of vitality, vigor and vim. LaVelle Brannin, the girl soda-jerk, Said that the kids would soon drive her berserk. She rides in a shiny new Mercury with Jim, And when she is seen, it’s usually with him. Velma Hawkins, who always wears slacks, It seems to us that it’s skirts she lacks. “Oh. I’m so big” is her main complaint, But evidently to Everett she ain’t. Betty Pickard, who is always around, Was the editor of the Harlo Rebound. There’s no special boy in her life as yet, But she’ll find one soon, what’ll you bet? We have a boy who we all call Duck We hope he has the best of luck. He was captain of the football team, Don Sivertson, the freshmen girls’ dream. Dorothy Sivertson, twin sister to Don, Is really quite good at twirling a baton. To be a stewardess is her main desire, And as you all know George Cowie’s her admirer. Helen Rine is a nurse to be, Why she chose that profession is easy to see. She’s easy to talk to, and easy to teach, To the boys from Missouri, she’s really a peach. Wilma Beauchot, the girl from the farm, We think she would make a good school marm. She’s good in her studies, but best of all, In Home Economics she’s right on the ball. And now we come to the boy with the brain His knowledge of science will lead him to fame. He’s played halfback for the last three years, He is Paul Muneta who is really a dear. Joyce Furgason, who was our class treasurer, To her, the work that she did was a pleasure. From the first of the year, she’s been busy as can be How she’s managed to do it, is far beyond me. Jim Satake, who we all call Floss, For the football team is really a loss. He was really a star when he caught those passes, Too bad he was so dumb in all of his classes. Down at the postoffice at eight thirty each morn Will be Beulah Pospisil, as sure as you’re born. She gets an average of three letters a day, Maybe that’s what makes her so happy and gay. As for Mary Lou Aicher she’s not worried at all, As far as her future’s concerned she’s married to Paul. There’s a boy in our class full of get up and go, His last name is Knight and his first name is Joe. He’s cute and blonde and not very tall And for his sweet smile the girls really fall. Elaine Parsons, our old maid to be, As far as she’s concerned there is no “he”. Though determined and independent, she is very nice, But to pay by remaining single seems quite a price. Since all good things must come to a close, We say farewell” to all of those Who are our successors and wish them luck. During the remaining years they have to buck. COMMITTEE Mary Lou Aicher, Bertie Spogen, Helen Cavanaugh, Shirley Schultz, chairmen.
