lumni Banquet, 1950 With the class of 1952, 502 pupils have graduated from H. T. H. S. The school was built in 1902, enlarged to its present size in 1916. In 1926 the gymnasium was built. About 1938, the section of the building that originally housed the old gym was remodeled into three rooms, a farm shop room, home economics room, and music room. The last addition was made to the gym in 1949 when a band room, coach's office, and dressing rooms were enlarged on the east end ofthe gym. The members of the Hi-Lite Staff would like to express their appreciation to the many alumni who sent letters, pictures, and clippings. We are only sorry that there are so many from whom we did not hear, and time did not permit us to search out all your accomplishments, but we hope that we have included something that will bring back fond memories of your years at H. T. H. S. As we bid you adieu, we wish to say that it has been a pleasure to have you go with us back over memory's trails. We hope you have enjoyed it as much as we. In parting, we wish to leave one thought with you. The Set Of The Sails One ship sails east, another west, With the self same winds that blowg 'Tis the set of the sail and not the gail, That decides the way to go. Like the winds of the seas are ways of fate, As we journey along through life. 'Tis the will of the soul'that decides the goal And not the calm of the strife.

Mrs. Verna Watt Bodeen Rice Lake, Wisconsin On my occasional visits to Armington as I walk by the high school I am reminded of the many changes and the great progress that has taken place in the fifty years of its existence. The half building, which stood for many years in its modest beginning, has now become a modern up to date and attractive structure. Where we at that time had an outdoor basketball court, where boys and girls had their turns at playing, there now stands a very fine gymnasium. One of my most vivid memories is the old barn which stood on the corner where Rose Lorig's house now stands, where Luella Richmond, Orrin Pratt, the Darnell girls, Roscoe and Ray Albright, 1-letty, Harriet and Charley Markland kept their horses which they drove to school each morning, carrying with them a bag of feed with which to feed them at noon. There were many who walked two miles or more to school in the olden days and enough: nothing of it. v As to accomplishments in life, my greatest has been giving birth to six children, and while every normal family has its share of sorrows and disappointments I have received much happiness raising a family and doing work within my church. With kind regards to yourself and all my friends in Armington and hope your fiftieth anniversary yearbook will he a big success, I am Yours sincerely, Verna Watt Bodeen Mrs. Jessie Caton Wilson Emporia, Kansas Maggie Winstead Qdeceasedj Mrs. Carrie Lancaster Willmert Thomas A.

Mrs. Maris Hieronymua Hanger 530' Edith Street Missoula, Montana Mrs. Annie Lee McDowell Chumley Amiilla, Texas Mr. Clide I. Carr Tispell, Montana I graduated from H. T. H. S. with the class of 1912 and after attending State Normal at Normal for two years, married Ruth Marguerite Jones and came back to H. T. H. S. as a teacher in 1915-'16. The school year of 1917 was interrupted by our going to Canada. After farming there for three years, we moved to a farm at Kalispell, Montana, in 1919. We farmed for ten years, but going was pretty tough so I finally secured a U. S. Government job in the post office at Kalispell, where we still reside, having been appointed Assistant Postmaster March 1, 1940, in which capacity 1 am still serving. The special hi-lites of my life have been kids, church work, and singing for the community. We have had seven children, two of whom died in infancy--our oldest girl, Della Ve, has her M. A. in foreign language and psychology, and is now Dean of Girls here at Flathead County High School, an institution of a thousand students. The second girl, Bernice Marguerite, is the wife of a rural mail carrier out of Kalispell, and she also conducts a beauty parlor. She has our only granddaughter. Our nm-4 child, Clide 1.. In-., has his Ph. D. in chemistry and is a research chemist for U. S. Rubber at Passaic, New Jersey. He is married and has two sons--one a red- head--he was a major in World War II. Our fourth child,
