CLASS HISTORY In September, 1943, thirty-eight children entered the main building of the Plentywood Public School. They were Gordon Benson, Ilene Ceartin, Ruby Crouse, Marilyn Crowe, Ardyce Danielson, Keith Donaldson, Norman Donald- son, Gary Felbaum, Neale Fretheim, Jack Fulkerson, William Hagen, Darrel Hueth, June Hultgren, Ada Jensen, Darlene Johnson, Eunice Kelly, Leo Ketter- man, Glen Lagerquist, Helen Legare, Darrel Lindberg, Russel Long, Ralph Lund, Douglas Markell, Cleo Morey, Gerald Myers, Niel Myers, Yvonne Myles, Doreen Norman, Gordon Overby, Judith Palutzke, Wayne Pederson, Harry Sano, Stanley Stewart, Leroy Storaasli, Donald Thor son, Jay Thunem, Marlow Vesterby, and Jack Welter. Together these people started their journey to the summit of the Mountain of Knowledge. The first years of their journey were years of trial which were eased as they took part in various Christmas, Thanksgiving, and variety programs. A storm came down upon the group for the next few years. The wind blew hard and some, too weak to keep up the steady pace, were left by the wayside. However, there were other expeditions in pursuit of the summit and these joined the rest of the group as they traveled upward. Time passed, and soon four years remained to conquer the Mountain. This year saw many boys participate in athletics and F.F.A. activities; and saw them join the girls of the expedition as they entered Chorus. The girls also became members of T.N.T. and F.H.A. The junior year of their journey saw them eager to leave their footprints on the Mountain when they produced the play, Aaron Slick From Punkin Crick and laid the theme of the Spring Prom and the Junior-Senior Banquet, Spring Garden , complete with the traditional wishing well. When they were very near the end of their journey they added to their ac- complishments by producing the Treasure Chest yearbook, the Wildcat school paper, their Senior Play, and the annual Christmas Ball. There were but twelve of the original thirty-eight who remained to reach the culmination of their hopes, Commencement, on the summit of that particu- lar Mountain. They are Marilyn Crowe, Norman Donaldson, Neale Fretheim, Jack Fulkerson, Ada Jensen, Darlene Johnson, Leo Ketterman, Neil Myers, Yvonne Myles, Gordon Overby, Donald Thorson, and Jay Thunem. The expedition proved to be long and it changed much, even as the pathway of the journey changed, but it was a happy experience that provided memories that none of the travelers will ever forget. 22
