The Senior students pre- sented the awards to one another and also there was entertainment throughout the program. Thirteen scholarships were presented, and recipients of various awards were: John Philip Sousa-Joy Christianson Franklin Simonis-Zoonie McLean Arion-Pam Feeney 21 ZOONIE McLEAN NAMED TO ALL-AMERICA FOOTBALL 22 Class Prophecy This is it. The year is 1989. The place--the inside track field of Northeastern Montana High. The town--Duekberg High. The happenings--the graduating class of 1969 is holding their class reunion. Our master of ceremonies is the one and only Cole Chandler. He is currently the ex-superintendent at Northeastern. Sitting on his left is Kathleen Weisz, his first lady. She has written a book for teenage girls entitled HOW TO STAY SKINNY BY EATING LETTUCE AND CARROTS ON THE PEP BUS. On Cole's right is Joseph Nistler who has just won by a scant margin the Presidential office of the United States. Those liberal Democratic views win 'em every time! His running mates were Neal Brown, a Republican, and Ricky Darvis, ihe third party candidate. Rick nearly had it; but, because of a lack of a couple million Negro votes he lost. Rick really loves those black people now ! Now arriving is Colonel Frank Marsh, head of the Gustapo in Germany. Behind him march the rest of his 76th Batallion--Grant McCann, Bruce King, and Mark Wilson. And there's Herbie Joyes, who after completion of active Marine duty in Viet Nam, was voted Mr. America. The coach of the ever-ready, every-mighty Wildcats is none other than Clifton Zoonie McClean Jr. His son, Zoonie the third, is a measly five feet tall. I guess you can't win 'em all! Mr. Gustin has now gone into the housing business. Glenn Huffman has replaced him as our senior English teacher. Our P. E. department is now chaperoned by the bubbly, bouncy, bloodthirsty Kathy Kem. Now in the Chemistry lab is Howard Stoner with his Bible in his back pocket. The best janitor that Northeastern has ever seen is Jim Pederson. Good ol' Pete. Many of the graduates of '69 are Duckberg merchants. Greg Johnson is now the proud owner of the Grand View Hotel. Nancy Knick has completed her journalist studies and is now the editor of the weekly DUCKBERG HERALD. Debby French has taken Dear Amy's place in the society column. News reporter JoAnne Cheek brings her stories all the way from the great metropolis of Great Falls. Norma Redden is a feature editor. Her recent article was entitled How to Land the Younger Man. Dick Campbell, who has become manager of the 76 Union, is talking with Jerry Stenehjem, the new owner of the SSS (Stork's Substandard Station). Also with them is Wayne Peterson, the man- ager of the Western Impy. Mike Donaldson is still paving the streets with his 409. He also runs a Doodle's Do-Little Fix-It Shop on the sideline. Mike Bussinger owns the Flaxville-Archer Transfer now. He has two of the best truckers in the county (Mike Wankel and Dave French) driving his Budweiser trucks. Chief Butch Eckerdt and Officer Dale Janssen are now upholding the law in beautiful downtown Efcickberg. Out patrolling the highway is Smiley Clint Collins. Dale Janssen also wrote a book entitled HOW TO EAT BUGS AND ENJOY THEM. It is a best seller in North Dakota now. JoArlene Nelson is now the proud owner of the Po-Jo-Vo-Go, the house of questionable taste. She's informed us that her favorite song always was I'm a Little Teapot Short and Stout; Tip me 23 Over and Pour Me Out. Cleo Peterson has become a hair dresser. Taking up retirement as a career is Jean Smith. Sandra Mehl is now married to Keith, the head janitor at Med. Lake High School. Red always was her favorite color. You'd never know Rhonda Walkowski from the good ol high school days. She is now a whole six foot four inches tall. And here comes the singing nun, Pamela Feeney. Her favorite song is I Once Loved a Tuba Player. There is Jill Johnston who has risen to the top of the business world along with Paulette Parpart and Joy Christiansen. Jill has even changed her last name to Christiansen. Susan Johnson. Patty Holje, and Lorraine Simonson have formed the Get Friendly-Get Acquainted Club. It sure seems to work on the air force boys. Mauretta Krogstad is recalling the good ol' days. It must have been fun being the only girl in the part-time chemistry class full of boys (especially sitting next to a doll like Hal Holte). Halford has gone into the medical field as our nation's top surgeon. Kirk Stoner has also become a doctor. He wants to keep it in the family- right Mary? Also in the med-bis is Mary Nyby, better known as Doctor Peeper. Bessie Wilson has invented a new breed of cows, the Bessibells. In the plastic surgeon business is Daniel Mehl. He operates on people’s snouts. Vermae Gross and Vickie Lossing are running a sauna bath now. Vermae gives lessons on grossing weight and Vickie gives lessons on losing it. That tall red head you see over there is Don Holst. He makes a living standing as a light house. You wouldn't believe the glare that red hair gives off. And who is that with him? It's Renate Muller our German Exchange Student. I always knew she dug those red heads. Here comes the owner of the biggest Graham cracker business in the world, Margaret Graham. Sitting next to Margy are Joyce Mitchell and Charlene Marion. They now are great great great great grandparents. Now the well-known Hollywood actors are arriving. First in line is Jackie Glover, the star of the TV series Bonanza. With her is the new Loren Green, Gaylen Black. Cherie Abenroth and Gail Wagnild now star in the Land of the Giants. Then comes Jerry Ness from the Untouchables. Patty Beckers and Karen Rost are the stars of the Odd Couple. Last in line is Connie Ruud, the best Go Go girl in Sheridan County. Because of the time change, we have a few late arrivals--our Canadian friends from the North. Arlo Setrum, the mayor of the Queen City has come with his buddy Gary Schwarzrock. Gary's got his old faithful Canadian sweater on again. He must be having a test on the Bible. Ah! Judges Dale Tlustosch and Craig Anderson have finally arrived. They must have flown in from Glendive. 24 Administration and Faculty SUPERINTENDENT: E.V. LAGERQUIST PRINCIPAL: C.C.

Stevenson 43 The Senior Class presented Our Hearts Were Young and Gay on November 7th. The comedy is about the escapades of two young girls, who are determined to prove how mature and cosmopolitan they can be. The girls sail for Europe and while on board ship they meet two young medical students and have an exciting adventure with a stowaway. In Paris they try to convince a great French actor that he should give them acting lessons. The play was a smashing success with a large crowd in attendance. 44 On April 1, the Junior class presented three one act plays. THE DRAPES COME by Charles Dizenzo dwells on the lack of communication between a mother and her daugh- ter. Throughout the play the mother is waiting for her drapes to arrive, and in the end they do. How- ever, their arrival sym- bolizes that selfish ob- sessions can prevent much meaningful communica- tion between people. THE SANDBOX by Edward Albee symbolized the absurdity of life. THE MASQUE OF F1ERROT by Dan Totherole is a fantasy. It centers around Lady Ann Chester- ton and Pierrot, who has come with his troupe of players to perform at a garden party to celebrate Lady Chesterton's mar- riage. Ann and Pierrot had once exchanged words of love, but now Ann re- alizes Pierrot's love for her is only a trifling thing. Ann succeeds in wiping out the memory of her first young love in an en- tirely unexpected fashion. 45 Homecoming Queen and Attendants 46 Homecoming 1968 began with a snake dance and bonfire Thursday night, October 12. The parade was held on Friday afternoon. Each class constructed a float with the following themes: Sr. — Kill 'Em Dead, ” Jr. — Spartan Chopper, Soph. -- We Panda Win, Frosh. - - Put 'Em In The Dog House. Plenty wood tied Baker 12-12 at the game that eve- ning. Rhonda Walkowski was crowned Homecom- ing Queen at the halftime, and the Jr. float was named the winner. A dance following the game concluded the Homecoming activities. 48 On December 27th forty couples danced to the music of the Leftovers at the Christ- mas Ball sponsored by the Senior class. The Catholic church basement was deco- rated red and silver for a theme of Crystal Fantasia. Mr. and Mrs. Duane Trewyn and Mr. Harold Gackle were chaperones. Kirk Stoner and Mary Marsh were crowned King and Queen. 49 J u n • o r P r o m The Junior Prom was held April 25, in the Multi-Purpose room. Music was provided by the Inside Edge. The theme was Light My Fire” and approxi- mately 30 couples attended. 50 Organizations The difficulty in life is the choice. Moore EL CID chapter of Sociedad Honoraria Hispanica was chartered and organized in P. H. S. in 1963. This growing national honorary society is sponsored by the Ameri- can Association of teachers of Spanish and Portuguese for the purpose of recognizing high achievement in Spanish by stu- dents of secondary high schools.

The staff adopted a new title- TERMITE. It featured news articles, sports items, and creative writing. The students were given a chance to voice their opinions freely. The paper was strictly a student project edited by Joe Nistler. Treasure Chest 55 The yearbook staff constructed a book of memories for the school year 1968-69. Plentywood High School Band The choir performed their annual singing-on-the-stairs and Christmas program. They also received a Superior rating at the District Festival.

The Plentywood Wildcats, coached by Doug Dierenfield, took top honors as the Eastern B football champs. Their record was im- pressive throughout the season, and they defeated the Nashua Porkies to gain their title. The Plentywood Wildcats, coached by Zoonie McLean, competed in the Glendive tourney, finishing as No. 1. They participated in the state basketball tourney at Cut Bank where they captured second place honors. The Plentywood Wildcats, coached by Ed Ternes, gave an im- pressive show at the divisional track meet in Poplar. They also par- ticipated in the state track meet. Throughout these pages, the Plentywood Wildcats are treated as one. We feel that one is as impressive as the other and, therefore, we gave them equal recognition.

Our good thing has ended and now we are beginning our search for that some- thing which is more complicated. more exciting, and more fulfilling. As we look back on our treasure of memories, we see things that can never happen again. They are now only pleasant thoughts that will always be with us. We will never forget the tedious hours of studying, the ball games, the efficiency of Sylvia, and the happy moments we shared as a group. Our memories gathered from PHS are memories forever. Thus, as we take our diplomas and close the door, we are saying goodbye to something wonderful. 85 Our foreign student for 1969 was Renate Muller. Renate’s home is in Germany. Renate participated in various activities during the school year, and listed dancing as her favorite pastime. Renate 's brother, Hans, was also a visitor to our school. He is pictured below during one of the classes which he visited while touring our school. 86 87
