Quick, grab your mortar board, don’t trip on your gown, diplomas are flying and our days of seeking are over. We have finally struck oil! In the fall of 1942 a group of roughnecks set out in search of oil. These included: Orval Bantz, David Clawson, Kenneth Collins, Robert Hallesy,, Mario Hilyard, Gaylen Marsh, Thomas Meeham, Jon Mehl, Michael Michels, Richard Munson, Roy Nelson, Milo Olson, Maxine Granvold, Harry Sano, Daryle Syme, Roger Hallquist, Robert Drager, Donna Blee, Eileen Ceartin, Ruby Crouse, Shirley Fulkerson, Barbara Pierce, Caroline Heppner, Marilyn Hoven, Patty Johnson, Jerry Lester, Carol Myles, Rie Rucker, Faye Sandal, Rita Schumacker, Nancy Willard, Donna Welter, and Shirley Mae Johnson. With the passing of each year, although the actual negotiation was not yet attained, they grew in know-how. As they progressed from year to year, a few dropped by the wayside, but in spite of the loss, the gang grew in number with re- placements who came from afar to join the crew. After eight years, the gang was ready to take a new and more important step toward their explorations. They cast aside their crude ways and put on a new air of sophistication. By this time the party consisted of fifty-five tool pushers, one of the largest groups to begin this phase. With the beginning of the new phase, they chose a capable new head geologist, Mrs. Bernadine Palutzke.who guided the crew along the path to success. Entering the more developed field they were properly greeted and initiated. They scored their first success by giving the Freshmen return party, a sock dance. The second year was a pleasant one. Several of the girls were given membership in T.N.T. and F.H.A., and many of the boys were active in football, basketball, and baseball. In the third year they transformed the auditorium into a “Deep Sea” atmosphere for the Junior and Senior Prom and likewise carried the under the ocean theme for the banquet. The production, “Men Are Like Streetcars” was presented by a group of talented roughnecks. 1953 saw them enter with a new dignity. They staged the traditional senior ball, “White Christmas” and the annual class play “Nothing But the Truth” Publication of the annual and sneak day were among the bright spots of the last year. We want to thank all of those who have made our expedition possible. Hats off to Superintendent L. A. Wollan, the class advisor, Mrs. Palutzke, 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 success. Wherever we may go this expedition will always be with us. Class flower: Yellow rose Class colors: Blue and Yellow Class Motto: “Today we follow; tomorrow we lead” Bertha Anderson Quiet ?

We are nearly over run by the former WILMA GAINES, who because of the lack of baby sitters was forced to bring along her family of five carrot tops.” Strains of that new song hit, School Daze”, with a special arrangement by the favorite composer, MARILYN HOVEN, floats to us from the band stand as CORA LIE MEHL and CECELIA MARSH sing the lilting lyrics. And now GERRY COOK, owner of Cook’s Trailer Court, steps up to the stage as Mistress of Ceremonies introducing the next act, ARLENE CHRISTENSEN, who has stopped in on the way to Hollywood. It seems she has taken Marilyn Monroe’s place. Look, there’s EMERY MEHL photographing our reunion for the next issue of LIFE. Here comes ALLEN BRENTESON, professional basketball player, followed by his manager, JOHN THOMPSON. As our gazes lower from this handsome hunk of man, we hear a noise. Don’t be alarmed; it’s nothing serious, just WAYNE NEIHUUS and BOB HALLESY. They just raced in from the Indianapolis Speedway. Over at a table next to the stage we started an earnest discussion with iQSNNETH COLLINS and DARYLE SYME over the latest developments on plastic-topped Fords and Chevy convertibles. Heavyweight champion, MIKE MICHELS, just entered foUowed by his body guard, JOHN KOHLER. As a sideline, Mike owns a barber shop specializing in Princeton” haircuts. By the way--dig John’s crazy haircut. We also take note that we are honored with the presence of KAY WOLIAN and banker, ROY NELSON. They tell us that with brains and money they erected a rest home for teachers. After the class of ’54 departed, the need was quite imperative. Kay in- forms us that MAE GARNEAU and MARILYN LAGRANGE are members of the Plentywood High faculty. Now the highlight of the evening, MILO OLSON and his assistant from the class of '56 are going to give us their knife throwing” act—oops! Ole just cut himself. Dashing to the rescue come IONE KLOFSTAD and SHIRLEY JOHNSON who are nurses at the Mayo Clinic. As we proceed to the banquet room we are greeted by Chef GARY McCALL and his two pretty assistants, CONNIE JOHNSBOEN and BERTHA FALK, who have rendered their services for this occasion. Dress designers, BARBARA PIERCE and LOUISE SCHNITTGEN, are here with ELAINE BECKER, their model. They are to fly to Paris next week to display their latest creations. In strolls WALTER HEPPNER escorting ALICE FOUGH. He is a pharmisist at the local drug store where Alice is employed. Following them are NANCY WILLARD and JERRY LESTER, who have organized a business college here in Plentywood. These girls run a school known as “Susketeer’s School for Struggling Shorthand Students.” Quickly dashing down notes at a corner table are DORTHY LAGRANGE and JO McGEE, who are reporters for the New York Times. MAXINE GRANVOLD and SHIRLEY FULKERSON just ran in between shifts. It seems wrong numbers are a thing of the past since they took over the telephone office. RICHARD MUNSON and KEITH JOHNSON are prosperous farmers, who have proved that you can make a million by farming. Unable to attend our reunion, JOYCE METZLER was unavoidably detained at Scobey, where she has set up housekeeping. Oh dear, we didn’t notice that it was getting so late, and now we must get back to J. Edgar Hoover to report our investigation of the class reunion of ’54.
