CLASS PROPHECY As I arrive at Plentywood High School, it is a beautiful evening in May, 1966, just ten years after our graduation. The new high school, now located just west of Lincoln Field, was completed only last year and has been chosen as the site of the reunion of the class of 1956. Immediately upon entering I am greeted by GARY WOLLAN, superintendent of schools. He has assigned two of the PHS faculty members, LAVINA JOHNSON and MARILYN GOETZINGER, to give us a guided tour of the institution. After finally coming to the spacious auditorium, I am welcomed by MARLIS and MARLENE CROSSON who have agreed to act as hostesses for the evening. They are co-owners of the Plenty- wood Beauty Salon. Our master of ceremonies for the reunion is DOUGLAS KIENITZ, the veteran sportscaster, who has handled the Cleveland Indians' games for the past three years. CARL IVERSON is also in radio work, being an engineer for the Mutual Broadcasting Company. Music is beingprovided by GENE ENGHUSEN and his western dance band. ADRIENNE SYME, our guest vocalist, recently starred in the Broadway production, Montana”. That song sounds familiar. Oh yes, it is one composed by our English instructor, Mrs. Bernadine Palutzke. This song, Who Will Buy My Potatoes? now ranks third on the hit parade. Sitting at one of the tables is JOHNETTE WHITTAKER, now dean of nurses at the Mayo Clinic. With her is RUBY SHEFFER, a nurse in the surgical department. Talking with them are Mrs. Danny King, formerly MARIE JOHNSON, and Mrs. Franklin Lund, the former SHIRLEY WIL- LARD, wife of a prosperous Outlook farmer. Speaking of farmers, 1 see RAY BRENTESON, GERALD BUDKE, and RALPH MELLE. There must still be money in farming as all three drove up in 1966 model cars. Before dinner, refreshments are served by TRUMAN STAGEBERG, who now owns his own distributing agency. Our banquet has been planned by KAY TANGE, who is employed by General Mills as the new Betty Crocker. EDITH BRENTESON, now an interior decorator, has handled the decoration of the auditorium. CHERRYL WAGNER, owner of the local greenhouse, has furnished the flowers for the occasion. In strolls BEVERLY DAHL, a dress designer, and her model, DOREEN NORMAN. They will leave for Paris tomorrow. Close behingthem are two local grocers, HARRY HILYARD and DICK FRENCH, managers of Kisler's Market and the Red Owl, respectively. Our announcer now asks for our attention and tells us that a telegram has been received from Mrs. Tom Goff, the former LOIS KRESS, who is located in northern Canada and will be unable toattend. JUDY PALUTZKE, who has set up housekeeping in Wyoming, is also notin attendance. As we proceed, Doug introduces the celebra ties attending. They are GARY Cooper KNUDS- VIG and John WAYNE THOMSEN. They recently starred in the movie, Trouble at Box Elder Creek . GARY JOHNSON, a deep sea diver, has also performed in motion pictures. He served as a stunt man in Glub-Glub . Two fellows traveling a great distance to attend now enter. They are MARTIN HERMAN, an engineer located in Peru, and MARLOW VESTERBY, who is doing agricultural work in the same country. They have covered the last leg of their journey on the K-Line Airlines, owned and operated by RODNEY KANNING. VALERIE WILSON is a stewardess on the Plentywood-Great Falls flight. Also engaged in the transportation field are ODELLE SYME, who runs a taxi service between Plentywood and Raymond, and OLAF JOHNSON, superintendent of the Soo Line Railroad. Just arriving from Helena are BARBARA McCALL, secretary to the governor, and HARRY SANO, head of the state's National Guard. Their chauffeur is DENNIS WHITE. Chatting at a corner table are DONNA SIMONIS, who has retired from the teaching profession to raise football players, and Mrs. Wayne Niehuus, formerly MAGGIE EVANSKAAS, wife of a draftsman. The Niehuuses are living in California. Asl strikeup a conversation with severalof my former classmates, a voice pages Dr. Christen- sen. That is I, and patients come first, so I guess I'll have to be going. 24 CRAIG CHRISTENSEN
