After driving quite a distance I arrive on the scene of the large Circle 50 ranch belonging to Valden Wollan and Neil Morck. They have sent invitations to all of the members of the Class of 1950 for a class reunion. As lenter the large house I am greeted by Phyllis Brentenson who is acting as host- ess for these boys as neither of them are married. I heard a rumor that Valden plans to announce something quite important at this party, maybe that is why I see one mem- ber from the class of 52. Phyllis directs me to the powder room and I find quite a few of my old classmates. Here is Betty Quam. She tells me she is married to a wealthy farmer and they have made their home a few miles out of Outlook. Grace Johnson and Leona Johnson own a beauty shop in Plentywood. Over here sitting at the dressing table, is Josephine Heppner. She is a teacher at the DT school. As I leave the dressing room I have to work my way through the group of boys here. Oh! They aren’t all boys, here is Betty Erdahl in the midst of them. Neil seems to be getting more attention than the rest. Maybe there will be two hostesses at the Circle '50 soon. As the music begins I seem to recognize the orchestra leader. Well, of course, it is the same orchestra we had playing at our Senior Ball. They have a new part-time vocalist who is Pat Gallagher. I hear he is playing baseball with the Boston Red Sox this year. Neil now asks everyone to be quiet as he has a few special announcements to make. First, he says he received a telegram from Peggy McNulty saying she was very sorry she couldn’t make it to the reunion. She is in the tower of London, sitting on the king's lap taking dictation. Second, he tells that Donald Ellingson is going to sing a solo for us. I hear someone next to me say Don had contrived the plans for the buildings of the ranch. He is an architect. Who is talking? Why, here is Vivian Stageberg, Melba Erickson, and Sally O'Toole. They are all teachers from Great Falls. Vivian teaches art, while Melba and Sally teach music. They tell me they came by S S Airline. The airline, managed by Gordon Schultz and John Sano, runs from Plentywood to Rio de Janeiro via Great Falls. It is for women only preferable between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one. Dea Norgaard has ridden with them on the plane. She drove her Cadil- lac as far as Great Falls and came the rest of the way with them. Dea is the wife of a prominent businessman of Longview, Washington. Here is Carol Marsh and Nelda Erickson. Carol is secretary to the mayor of New York City and Nelda is a psychologist in the same city. James Popescu is the owner of the Elgin Cafe. He tells me his wife is managing it though. I believe she is a former Outlook girl. With him are a number of other boys: Dean Hatvick, Dick Clark, Gib Goodman, Bill Bucklin, and Griff Collins. Dean owns a large farm. Dick is home on leave, he is a naval officer. Gib is a veterinarian. He keeps the Circle ’50 cattle in good health. Bill is still in school. In 1950 he signed a contract to play football. He plans to retire this spring for his contract will have ex- pired. Griff is a doctor. He has made good and has married a schoolteacher from the class of 53. Well, here comes Jack Hallesy who has brought the refreshments from town. He owns his own distributing agency. We have a few late comers coming through the door: Jack Lee, Don Becker, Leo Mehl, and Kermit Rio. Jack is the coach at Plentywood High. Don is a rancher. Leo is the editor of the New York Times. He has his pretty little wife with him. I hear they have a very nice family. Kermit is superintendent of the Soo Line Railroad. Over yonder I see five girls I haven’t noticed before. I'll have to go over and talk to them. It is Connie Holmquist, Loretta Ersness, Donna Beaver, Charlotte Lester, and Elsie Berglund. Connie is married to a farmer. She spends her spare time de- signing dresses for Madame Tifi of New York. Loretta is the wife of a businessman of Plentywood. She tells me they are worrying for fear there will be another depression. Donna is a stenographer of the Pepsi Cola Co. Charlotte is a teacher in Plentywood. She is taking Rev. Dunn’s place and is trying to teach the class of '60 their P.A.D. Elsie’s husband owns a chain of clothing stores in Montana with the head office in Na- It has been very nice seeing all of my old friends again. But I must leave now, as it is getting late and I have a long way home. My husband owns a Meat Market in Sco- bey. shua.

They lost to Forsyth, however, in the final game of the season for the divisional title and silver footballs. They were victorious in six of their seven games and scored 126 points to their opponents 86. The first six games ran the streak to 12 games without a loss or a tie, which covers two seasons. The team started their season against Crosby on the latter’s field, September 15, 1949. The game was slightly ragged but interesting. The final score was Plentywood 19, Crosby 6, in a nonconference game. The next game was also nonconference as the Cats entertained Sco- bey on September 23. Plentywood held the Spartans scoreless and were able to score only once themselves. Gib Goodman snared a touchdown pass, and Valden Wollan kicked the point after touchdown to make the score 7 to 0. Their third and last nonconference game was at Williston. This was Plentywood's only night game of the season and was played on Septem- ber 30. The Cats were victorious in a free scoring and exceptionally rough game. The score of this one was 32 to 20. Plentywood started their conference schedule as they walloped Mal- ta 35 to 7 on the home field, October 15, The Cats jumped to an early first half lead of 22 to 0 and coasted from there on. Another home game followed as the Wolf Point Wolves gave the Wild- cats a scare. This game was played on October 21. But for Valden Wollan’s place kicking, the game would have been a 12 to 12 tie. Wol- lan was successful on both attempts, however, and the game wound up 14 to 12 for good old PHS. In the last regularly scheduled game, the Cats journeyed to Scobey on October 29. They were winners by the exact score as the previous Scobey game. Mickey Boulds intercepted a pass in the second quarter and ran 50 yards to a touchdown. Valden Wollan kicked the extra point to account for the 7 to 0 score. This victory gave Plentywood the dis- trict championship and a chance to play Forsyth for the Eastern Divi- sional title. The game was played at Forsyth on November 11. The Dogie offense was unstoppable as they romped to an easy 41 to 12 victory over the Wildcats. Forsyth led all the way and the only bright spot for Plenty- wood was their passing attack. This was not enough, however, and For- syth won the silver footballs. TOP ROW: MIDDLE ROW: BOTTOM ROW: Mgr.

The Wildcats started their season strong by im- pressively winning their first three games and taking second in the Wolf Point Invi- tational Tournament. They lost in the final game only after giving Wolf Point a terri- fic battle from start to finish. The Cats lost only on free throws, just as they did on six other occasions throughout the season. They won nine and lost 10 during the reg- ular season, while in conference play their average was an even .500 as they won four and lost four. The opposing coaches, however, thought the Cats were good enough to be rated second best in the division and they entered the tournament with expectations of going to the state meet. During the season, Plentywood scored a total of 778 points to their opponents 763 even though they were behind in the win column. This gives the team an offensive average of 41 points per game. D cl T o vk-r'tv X'me-ti4' With three of their first string men playing despite injuries, the Wildcats copped second place in the divisional tournament and earned the right to enter the state tour- ney at Great Falls on March 9, 10, and 1 1. Plentywood started its tournament play by beating a surprising Fairviewteam 56 to 51 after playing into an overtime period when the regulation playing time found the score deadlocked at 48 to 48. The Cats showed a strong offense, but their defense was weak. They also committed several fouls as the referee’s called the fouls closer than the Plentywood team was accustomed to. In the second game, the Cats were victorious by a 53 to 45 score over the hot shoot- ing Circle Wildcats. Circle’s ability to make free throws kept them always within close range of the heavy fouling Plentywood five. Plentywood’s final game was the coldest for the Cats. They fell to Wolf Point by a 39 to 3 1 score when they threw the game away in the first quarter. In the first half, Wolf Point held an 18 point lead over the taller Wildcats, but Plentywood settled down in the second half to come within four points of the winners before three of the starting five left the game on fouls. S4a-fe 'Tou.rttametfc Plentywood’s entry in the state class B basketball tourney played one good game and one not so good, and lost both of them. Their first game was a heartbreaker as they led all the way to the two minute mark before Billings Central came from behind to win 48 to 45. This evidently was a let down for the Cats as they made a dismal showing against Eureka the next afternoon when they fell 66 to 4 5. The Cats were pleased that Wolf Point was able to take third place honors while representing this district. Captain Gib Goodman ac- cepting the second place trophy in the tournament at Scobe y. Following the baseball season, the track team was limited to only one meet, be- cause of the lack of time. Led by Capt. Myrlen Paulson, they won the district cham- pionship. The meet was held at Outlook on May 4, 1949. Track provides an incentive to participants to prove their individual ability. Paul- son was the outstanding star of the Outlook meetas he took first in every event in which he was entered. He also tied the district record for the 440 yard dash. Every member of the team helped in collecting the 59 points to Medicine Lake’s 24, and Outlook’s 18. The individual points were made by: M. Paulson......20 M. Redmond.....1 1 M. Boulds.......10 W.
