PROPHECY as wfl W9re 9 rollinr along, we decidedtowalk down the street which was part of the new addition to the town. It was a wonderful night to be alive. It was 1958, and here we were in the metropolis of Plentywood, the greatest lumbering town in Montana. My, this must be that new uiuD '48. Let's go in and see what it is like. Strains of that new song hit, School Daze, with a special arrangement by the favorite com- poser, Dorothy Brenteson, floated out on the air as the doorman opened the door for us to enter. Why, that doorman looks familiar! It's Kerel Hagen. We read in tne paper the other day that he is opening a barber shop. He specializes in heinie haircuts. Still louder are the strains of the music—and why, that nimble touch sounds familiar. It is Dorothy B. herself, playing on her specially made Hammond organ with the marimba attachment. This must be one of the stops in her tour with the Kings of Swing. But wait, what is the announcer say- ing? Why, it's a reunion of the Tlentywood high class of 1948. That voice, too, sounds familiar. It is Paul Andrilenas who has his own radio program and who was recently named Dean of Commenta- tors. He’s known to most radio listeners as Smiling Andy, the announcer with that friendly smile. What's that jingle? There it cones now from the middle of the floor. Why, it's Harold Hil- yard, now sheriff of Sheridan County, dressed in his legal dress of spurs and six-shooters. It seems that the sheriff won his position through a certain pull. Careful of your spurs, Harold, those new length dresses catch everything. You doubt our word? Just look over at that table sur- rounded by men. If you look closer you will see that it is the celebrated Powers model, Mary Jean Rucker, and she has one of those New Look dresses on, too--or something! Speaking of looks-there goes a smooth dancer, none other than Red Johnson. Red is now coach of the Red Peprer football team, for red-heads only! I wonder if he still sponsors those sleigh rides on his ranch east of town? Who was that dreamy couple who just floated by? Oh, it's Nancy Ann Groce and that '48 gradu- ate of Gonzaga high. It seems as though he came to the city for the reunion of his former class- mates. Nancy is now teaching Hamlet at the local high school. It seems that her success as a teacher is due to the fact that she plays records made by her classmates and herself in their Eng- lish TV class. To top it all off, the students have reclining, cushioned seats in their classroom when they listen to the records. By the way, we wonder If she still uses her ouija board? Speaking of ouija boards, the great scientist, Dr.Robert Tower, has now perfected a new board that talks in eight different languages including pig latin.and on request it will sing the latest song hit. Also he has now invented at his creamery works a process by which the cows give ready- to-bottle chocolate milk when he feeds them special rills. Right now he is attempting tc get a strawberry flavor. All of his experiments are perfected on the dairy ranch of Paul Oolterman. Paul and his helpers, Duane Cnstad and Joey Askelson, have won acclaim for their milk which they sell for A.12 a quart. Not to be outdone by Dr. Power, these boys have invented reclining seats for the back row of the P.A.D. room. That singer sounds familiar. Of course, it is Joe Gallagher, the Swoon King of the age. Joe is not like most singers. In his spare time he plays basketball at Plentywood's Triangle Gar- den, where he has the highest scoring record of the season--70 points in one gcme--and all this with one arm in a cast. Listen to that applause. It is led by the Brenteson Big Four of which Dolores is the leader. These girls travel with Joe when he goes on exhibition trips and are his personal cheering section. But look, over there someone has fainted! Is there a doctor in the house? You had better call one because there isn't one here. That's strange because at the center table we have our honored guests from the hospital. There is Donald Norera, the painless tooth-pulling dentist; and Frances Godfrey, the optometrist who sees all, knows all, and tells you to buy glasses. I don't recognize the girl who fainted, but the man bending over her is Eugene Hendrickson, her husband. Eugene is the manufacturer of that new Trumpeting TromboneT the greatest invention in the music field. But here comes the doctor and look who is following him. It is Eddie Mount who is head ambulance driver at the hospital. Eddie works both day and night shifts. At night he is an ambulance driver and in the daytime he chauffeurs the special car built for 20 people which is owned by Loren O'Toole, the up and coming doctor. His assistant, Dorothy Redmond, the famous .ed- ical technician, h3d a special telephone installed in the car and it is ringing constantly. The reason? Dorothy, who is not only his assistant but is also a recent nominee for ’ htfs 'Vho, had the phone installed so that she could take care of her executive business and at the same time joy-ride. ’.Ve also see the three girls over there who work for the junior partner of the Flentywood Pop- ular Press, Tine-1 3ano. Tine-1 is not only the junior partner but also the operator of the lino- type and mimeographing machine. Those three girls, Frances Hagan, Ingrid Jensen, and Betty Pierce are the oorular Typing Trio. These girls now have their own car with a special chauffeur to take them to all the top dancing spots. Over there are three ether girls, Kuby Steinberg, argaret Stadstad,and Gertrude Simonson who are known as the Three Susketeers. These girls run a school known as the Susketeer's School for Struggling shorthand students. That must be the .club photographer,James Beulds, over there. Jimmy owns a photography shop, the Grin and Bear It. And who is he photographing? 'Vhy, it's onna Thunem, dramatics teacher at the local high school. Trior to her teaching career she acted in several Broadway productions. Her favorite play, A Date with Kenny, is now being reproduced at the high school. That's Vermae Johnson with her. Vermae was ”iss Thunem's private hairdresser when she was on Broadway. Now Vermae has her own shop where she specializes in facials, She guarantees to give vour face a lift. At the same table are some other teachers from the school. Marilyn rishbeck. the history teacher, is loved by all her students for the reason that during the last twenty minutes of class she allows the students to sleep or to listen to her witty jokes. Lois Peterson, dean of girls at the Daffy--oh, excuse us, we meant the Daffney School for Girls, is in the city for a visit. Lois has started a new trend in college life—lirhts out et 4 a.a.; rise and shine(?) at 7 a.in. Evelyn -13-

HISTORY Now the history of the Class of 1948 of the high school of the valley of Plentywood, the for- est of Sheridan, and the land of Montana is as here recorded in nature's language. On September 4, 1936, the forest was in great excitement; all the animals were scurrying about helping the Monarch of the Fewest, Mr. ’ arren Stegner, and his capable doe assistant, Miss Margar- et Hess, make preparations for the coming of a new group of 39 fawns. The timid, speckled deer were as follows: James Bculds, F.arl Chute, Raymond Deck, Eugene Fitzgerald, Richard Fretheim, Joe Gallagher, Forrest Goodman, Eugene Hendrickson, Harold Hilyard, Harold Jackson, Raymond Von Kuster, Eugene Lcnz, Charles LouhT , David Mean, William Marsh, Kenneth Marsh, Kerry Marsh, Leroy Monson, Duene Onstad, Loren O'Toole, ’ine'l Gano, Gordon Gkelenger, Raymond Thompson, Arnold Nelson, Gladys Andersen, Loretta Tntz, Barbara Earner, Hetty Bebee, Dolly Brightsman, Shirley Folsom, Nancy Ann Groce, Dolores Johnson, Vernae Johnson, Dorothy Redmond, Joyce Savage, Donna Thunem, Goldy Skelen- ’er, and Betty Fierce. Fhese animals in their eager quest for knowledge of the mysteries of the untamed forest caused the kins to seek Quieter surroundings and a new Monarch of the Forest, E. H. Fellbaum, ascended the king's throne to instruct and protect the young. ?!iss Doris Robison furthered their knowledge. Those v.ho joined the croup were: Maynard Johnson, Orville Nelson, Robert Reddin, Howard Lacy, Mari- lyn Fishbeck, Joyca Larsen, Delores Lasater, f.’ildred Smith, Frances Godfrey, William Loff, and John Sleight. Eugene Fitzgerald, Harold Jackson, Raymond Von Kuster, Eugene Lenz, William ? arsh, Ken- neth Marsh, Leroy Vonson, Gordon Skelenger, Raymond Thompson, Arnold Nelson, Betty Bebee, Dolly Brightsman, and Goldy Gkelencer sought learning elsewhere. Vis? Agatha varty, much experienced in the arts of giving Halloween parties, greeted the fa4ia in their third year of development and introduced to them a new animal of the forest, EepzibanY Lloyd Hanson, Donald ough, Sheridan Torgrimson, Raymond Von Kuster, Robert ’hitmarsh, Kenneth Ram- say, and Shirley Hop'ins, h?vinc heard of the high degree of intelligence of the group, came to .loin them. Those who stopred to nibble by the wayside were: Charles Luehr, Dolores Johnson, Joyce Savage, Orville Nelson, Robert Reddin, and William Loff. Following this, they stretched their legs and pranced to a new shelter in which they were to dwell for three years. The first year of these they were taught by Miss Elaine Tschache; Mary Jean Rucker joined them and told of dark-skinned people in the valley of ‘.Volf Point. John Sleight and Kenneth Ramsay left for greener pastures. A doe of great understandinr and experience, Miss Anna Brix, led them throuch the paths over- Ero-n with thorny vines during the fifth year. Paul Golterman, Donald Torgrimson, and Grant Long joined the fawns as they journeyed deeper into the heart of the forest. Earl Chute and David Mann abandoned the herd. The mischievous activities of the sixth year called for masculine supervision. Mr. Foul Sim- mer- took the rosren-ibility and every Friday morning three classes joined together to give harmon- ious bleating cf favorite tur.es. Karl Renshaw joined the group and, despite much persuading, Lloyd Qenscn, Harold Hilyard, Shirley Hopkins, Vermae Johnson, and Joyce Larson l9ft. In the seventh year Gladys Andersen sought a new land. Charles Cartin, Harold Hilyard, Robert Reddin, Ingrid Iens3n, Vermae Johnson, Delores Lone, Kathern Cline, and Dorothy Seek entered tc become good writers of the human language under the guidance of Miss Alma Planting. The eighth year of the laborious learning brought developed brains and sprouting horns. Einar Klofstad led the deer in intense study in reparation for their migration into a vast and dangerous .vilderncss. Those who wandered off before receiving certificates of eight years of toil were: Ray- mond Dock, Charles Cartin, Raymond Von Kuster, Robert Reddin, Delores Long, and Kathern Cline. Ar- nold and Vernon Miller came for a short visit and, upon hearing wide acclaim of this srroup Earl Chute, Robert Tower, Betty Lou Morey, and Ethel Toftness joined them. In the course of time having lost thoir srots and having started their first growth of ant- » Yr‘' urouP» Knowing the wavs of the forest, started their climb to the summits of the highest tain. -hat srrAn F. H. Fellbaum. left to lead another herd, but S. C. Norem, a new Monarch of the Forest, came to ?uide then the rest of the way. Many young deer from numerous valleys heard their joyous bellows and came to join them. They were: Faul Andrilenas, Elaine Blair, Robert Berg- land, Dolores Brenteson, Dorothy Brenteson, Ruby Brown, Lily Graham, Edward Mount, Donald Norem .%onald TTorris, Dernice rison, Eugene Pedersen, Wallace Pedersen, Gertrude Simonson, Margaret 3tad- stad, Ruby teinber' , Eleanor Vogel, and Raymond Von Kuster. Those staying in the forest were Dorothy Seek, Ethel Toftness, and Robert Whitmarsh. And during the second year of climbing up the mountain the deer were Destered by a herd of un- experienced and reckless animals who had just begun the climb; but the deer used their herns and soon the young ones knew their places. .And in this same year the art of chewing their cud was learned after much patient practice ana experience. This herd won prizes in contests in neighbor- in--’- valleys, so skillfully had they developed the art. Loretta Bantz, errest Goodman, Lily Gtehan ??a£d La?y» Dolores Lasater, Bernice Olson, Eugene Federsen, '•’allace Federsen, Mildred Smith, Don- ald .orcrimson, Sheridan Torrrimson, and Earl Chute found cud chewing tedious and sought other val- leys. Lorraine Doucette, Kenneth Feterson, and Evelyn Hoffarth came for short visits and the herd welcomed four new members, Jerry O’Toole, Ethel Mae Toftness, Myra Sorenson, and Mari Ann Thoresen. . ‘ en the rr.ird growth of horns had appeared the deer took time out to honor those who ted reached the summits before them and they had two days of celebration. A great feast was given and the following day the animals frolicked in their best bib and tucker . The group also put on ler mount f v • •» w V A W vu | - 4ASA panied the srroup on a short ramble — . The f0“r,trh year brought graceful bodies, fully developed minds, and a new set of horns. Lois V!r'Tfe •Toh5s°n Joined them for the lest stretch, and Ronald Norris, Richard Fretheim, Robert Berjland, Revriond Von Kuster, and Rleanor Vogel left. Because of illness, Loren O’Toole was fo.ced to discontinue the trip. The herd then bedecked themsolves in gray and American beauty red: top of the mountain they found the American beauty rose and chose it as their flower. The deer SKir-ed to an adjoining land for two days cf sight seeing and frolic, and after they returned • ere honored with a dinner and dance.
