They made their way carefully from grade to grade, through the usual routine of studies, parties, Christmas operettas, spring musicals, and stories of Peter Pig. As they progressed from grade to grade, a few dropped by the wayside, but these were replaced by others who came from afar to join the group. Graduation exercises from the eighth grade were held with the senior class of '45, At this milestone they bade farewell to childish things. Entering high school they were properly greeted and initiated. They scored their first success in high school when they originated Cat’s Cavern,” using this as the theme for their freshman return party. The sophomore year was a pleasant one. Seven girls were given member- ship in TNT, and many of the boys were active in football, basketball, and track. In the junior year, the prom, the banquet, and the class play furnished plenty of excitement. A Hawaiian setting provided the theme for the decoration of both the prom and the banquet. The class play, Mumbo-Jumbo”, was very successful. The members of the class also sold magazine subscriptions to in- crease their class treasury. The members of the class had charge of the candy concession at the district basketball tournament which was held in the Plenty- wood High School gymnasium. All in all, it was an eventful year. September 1948, saw them return to school with a new dignity. This year’s activities have been exacting. A staff of ten published the school paper, The Wildcat”. The class sponsored the Senior Christmas Ball. Publication of the annual, presentation of the class play, and sneak day are among the bright spots of the last year. We, who are graduating in the class of '49, are deeply grateful to Super- intendent S. C. Norem, the members of the faculty, the school board, and our parents for giving us so many opportunities, and such willing leadership to this junction of our educational career. Wherever we may go, the memory of our school days in Plentywood High School will always be with us. KlnXX Will We, the seniors of the Plentywood High School, being of sound mind and memory do declare this to be our last will and testament.

Entering now is Beautiful Barbara Heisler, the famous Conunder Model. Accompanying her are her secretary, Lois Fough, and her chauffeur, Theresa Cybulski. The spotlight falls on Arlene Marsh, her voice, and the men laying at her feet. Among them is Wayne Jensen, halfback on the Notre Woman” team. Elita Bain, Ruby Peterson, and Eva Nagel have taken the night off. The hubbies must be home with the children. There is Mack Redmond, coach of the Coalridge Miners, with his pep squad and well-groomed cheer leader. Marie Moriconi just flew in today from San Bernardino where she is secretary to the president of the Y. M. C. A. Here come Phyllis Lester and her husband. They must have asked Mary Gross in to sit with the little red heads. Harry Fink and Orval Flanke couldn’t be with us tonight. They are busy conducting a bus tour from Plentywood to Raymond. At the table on our right, we see Yvonne, Donna, and Vannesa proprietors of the Lose-Your-Beauty Nook.” Sitting across from us are our famous doctors, Dr. Francis Power, who looks deep into your eyes and tells you that you need glasses, and Dr. Loren O'Toole, who has just diagnosed Fay Popescu’s case as a new disease known as swoon-craze. Myrlen Paulson is now escorted in by body guards, Darrel Sedivec and Kenny Domonoske. Myrlen is now mayor of Henslerville.

Dean Tittle, president of the school board, attended with Kenny Marsh, superintendent of the Marsh Private School. They acquired their positions on the strength of their records at PHS. Irene Enghusen is still a soda-jerk at the plentywood Drug, but she managed to attend the class reunion. Dick Huffman, now mayor of Raymond, sits at a table with the owner of the town’s leading dress establishment, Gertrude Fink. The entertainment will end with a song by a quartette composed of Violet Stienberg, Neelie Sano, Helen Bestland, and Orves Lee. It has been a pleasant evening, but now we must return to our daily tasks.

Herbert and Marge Gage buy a country home to get away from city life. Herbert tries at last to write a best seller while Marge remodels coffee grinders into lamps, and churns into flower pots. Their routine is interrupted when Jonathan and Mathilda Rockwood, the original owners of the house, who are thought to be dead return and move in with the Gages. Their son. Matt, joins the family circle and complicates matters whfen Barbara’s boy-friend George, doesn’t appear at the right time and Matt takes her on an errand of mercy. To add to the escapades of the Gages is Freida the maid; Paula and Sarah, the younger Gage girls; Uncle Walter, a humorous old timer; Mr. Gage’s lawyer; and the local policeman. The cast includes; Freida, the maid, Betty Erdahl; Herbert Gage, Bill Bucklin; Marge Gage, Sally O’Toole; Paula and Sarah Gage, Carol Marsh and Lila Olson; Barbara Gage, Marilyn Geelan; George Husted, Pat Gallagher; Jonathan Rockwood, Valden Wollan; Mathilda Rockwood, Dea Norgaard, Uncle Walter, James Popescu; Matt Rockwood, Gib Good- man; Mr. Loomis, Neil Morck; Carson, Kermit Rio; Constable, Griff Collins.

Torno YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU is a celebrated comedy about the extravagantly mad Sycamore family. In contrast to these delightful people we see the unhappy Kirbys. The plot shows how Tony, attractive young son of the Kirbys’, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to the Sycamore home for dinner on the wrong evening. The results show Alice that marriage between her self and Tony is out of the question. Mr. Kirby, at least is converted to the happy madness of the Sycamores, particularly since he happens in during a short visit by an ex-Duchess. • The many strange activities of certain members of this household keep the audience on the edge of their seats, particularly, Paul Sycamore who manufactures fireworks in the basement, and thenGrandpa’s interest lies in snakes which inhabitthe living room, along with Penny’s printing press. Rheba, the maid, and her boyfriend, Donald, hold their breath as Grandpa interviews an income-tax collector and states his opinion on the income tax. Essie, the toe-dancer, and her artist husband are proud of the $28.50 which they earned in the past year. All these events and many more gave us an enjoyable evening with the Sycamore family.

The Plentywood Chapter of F.H.A. has a membership of thirty-four. Officers for the year are: Donna Clay, president; Betty Erdahl, vice- president; Nelda Erickson, secretary-treasurer; and Arlene Marsh, chapter reporter. Mrs. Frank Power and Mrs. Alf Marsh were elected chapter mothers for this year. The annual F.H.A. District Convention was held at Plentywood on October 8, 1948. Eight affiliated chapters attended the convention. Melba Erickson of the Plentywood Chapter was elected district secre- tary for the year 1948-1949. The local chapter of F.H.A. engaged in several new projects this year. During the Christmas season packages of food and clothing were contributed by the members and they were distributed to the various needy families of the community. Following this, a German school was adopted by the chapter. Funds were taken from the treasury and with these were purchased essential articles to be sent to the home economics department of the adopted school. The chapter also contributed a new mangier to the home economics department of the Plentywood school. £ H { Viol uhch Our present lunch program was started October 1, 1945, and has operated all days during which school has been in session since that date.
