Eventually the great day arrived, and clutching Mother's hand or striding independently ahead, eacb entered the big building and met his first teacher.

Birthdays came and were celebrated. One of the highlights during our seventh year was the presentation of the operetta, Tom Sawyer,” directed by Phil Berry. Eighth Grade Grad- uation was the memorable event of 1957. Several girls and boys from rural schools joined in the exercises and entered Plentywood High School with us in September. Although none of us would admit it, we all looked forward to our Initiation as Greenhorns into P. H. S. Following our initiation, we enthusiastically entered into the traditional high school activities. Many of us have been members of band, chorus, or other musical groups. Band trips to be remembered were to festi- vals in Williston, North Dakota, and to the State Basketball Tournament at Cutbank. Members of the summer band were guests at festivals in Canada and also performed at the Wolf Point Stampede. Several of our class have represented P. H. S. at the State Music Meet at M. S. U. in Missoula. During our four years in high school the Wildcats have played at two state basketball tournaments, and we were very proud to have our class represented on these teams. Other achievements include the winning of the Pep Jug for three years, and the pioneer day hatchet in 1960. During the spring of 1960 we presented our Junior Class Play, The Remarkable Incident at Carson Corners. It was an unusual play depicting a trial in which a group of young people try to discover who is responsible for a death several months previously. The final curtain had barely been pulled when we began plans to fete the Class of 1960 at the Junior- Senior Banquet. The Junior-Senior Prom followed on May 14. Stairway to the Stars was the theme for both of these functions. December 28, 1960, we hosted our Christmas Ball. The theme of this entertainment was Fantasy in Frost. We de- cided to present a comedy as our Senior dramatic production, and The Man Who Came to Dinner proved a delightful choice. April 6, 1961, was the date chosen by the Class of 1962 to honor us at the annual Junior-Senior Banquet. A few weeks later they sponsored the Junior-Senior Prom. Hawaiian Cruise, the theme of these two impressive events, re- minded us that a group of twenty beautiful islands in mid-Pacific had recently become the fiftieth star in our Flag. Peering deeply into the glow of the candles on our most recent birthday cake, each of us descried a date exceedingly important in the lives of all Seniors. The date? May 25, 1961, our Graduation Day! Though some of our original first grade members are missing, through the years we have acquired several other classmates. It is now the privilege of the staff of the 1961 TREASURE CHEST to present to you on the following pages each proud and happy countenance of the class of 1961. And fellow classmates, in the years to come we hope you'll spend happy moments reminiscing through this record of your high school days.
