Senior Class Will We the graduating class of 1951 of Winifred High School being of sound (?) mind and body do hereby will and bequeath our most treasured possessions: Alvin, Marvel and Flossy will their red hair to the entire school to brighten the halls after they are gone. Alvin Bolstad leaves his cool head in a hot game to Ted Sawyer, and his perfect at- tendance at 4-H meetings to Garde. Marvel Bolstad wills his ain't to the English class. He hopes they will make as good use of it as he has. Nina Baulch wills her ability to blush to Vern Fyant. Ellen Gibbons wills her muscular frame to Leroy Walton. Lucille Pollard wills her technique with the boys to those who don't have any. Bob Mifflin wills his little black book to Sammy. John Simac wills his ability to roll a cigarette with one hand to Tex. Gay Stainhofer wills her shy, quiet ways to Betty Arthur. The Seniors as a class leave the Juniors their row of seats in front of the heaters, to the Sophomores they leave, to the Freshman they leave their sense of humor and spirit of perseverance and a copy of the book How to Win Friends and Influence People.” In the fall of 39 when the doors swung open for the first time on the present class of 51 there were four of the members now in the present group. They were Lucille Pollard. Flossy Mendel, Alvin and Marvel Bolstad. As we came through the years others of the present class joined us. Ellen Gibbons moved in from the Gibbons' school to join us in the fourth grade, Gay Stainhofer transferred from St. Leo's in the fifth grade, and Johnny Simac entered from the East Cut Bank School in the eighth grade. As we came through the doors where we were to spend the next four years of school we felt rather small and insignificant. This was even more pronounced as we went through that trying experience of initiation. We struggled through this first year with Mr. Hendrickson as our class sponsor. Gladys Egcland joined our ranks the last few months of our freshman year. The next September our class had two more students which transferred from Fergus High School; they were Ann Benes and Betty Waits. Several weeks later with Mr. Olsen as our class sponsor we revenged ourselves by initiating the Freshman class. In our Junior year with Miss Thorburg as our class sponsor we presented the class play, The Ghost of a Chance. The following spring we put on a square dance to raise money for the prom. Next came our Junior Prom; the theme was April Showers. The Junior and Senior Banquet was held the week after the Prom in honor of the Senior Class. New members to the class in the Junior year were Julie Dracon and Bob Mifflin. Bob transferred to the Fergus High School at the semester while Beverly Pollard joined the Senior Class and Johnny Simac quit school to work. During our Senior year Bob Mifflin again joined the class; Nina Baulch transferred (continued on page 32) Prophecy In the spring of 1981 the class of '51 held a reunion at the Lame Horse Dude Ranch owned and operated by Lucille Pollard. It was gratifying to observe that all the mem- bers of the class were present. During dinner, reminising was the order of the hour. During the conversation a rather thin, sallow faced man who we recognized as Marvel Bolstad explained how an invention of his had made him a mint. It seemed that even in his school days he had been giving considerable thought to the idea that led to this invention-namely-a machine to eliminate work. Next to Marvel Bolstad sat a man who, beyond a doubt, was a hard working soul and had not heard of his former classmate's invention. Thirty years ago while attend- ing good old Winifred High he had insisted that he would live the life of a bachelor. However, a little eavesdropping on his conversation revealed that he was happily mar- ried; besides his wife he was buying shoes for five boys and three girls. Who was this lucky classmate? Why, it was Johnny Simac. The class remembered Bob Mifflin as a very studious and thorough individual and often wondered what had become of him. It seems that he had vanished in the Jour- nalism world only to pop into the headlines as Editor-in-chief of the ’'New York Daily Snooze.” Next to Bob sat a very attractive lady who had a definate literary glint in her eyes. She was remembered by the class as the girl who hurried Bob off to school each morn- ing so neither would be tardy. Yes, Gay Stainhofer has come a long way since those happy school days and is now a well established and recognized author. Nina Baulch, another member of the class of '51, had landed at the Dude Ranch airport only a few minutes before dinner and was busy closing the space of time since school days by relating how she trained to become a nurse and then became an air hostess. Several years later she was promoted to the position as chief dietition for Northwest Air Lines operating out of Denver. Her travel experiences were interesting and varied. Gladys Egeland had retained all of her school girl dignity and had become a school teacher. Success had been her partner and she is now an elementary school principal in a prominent Southwestern city. Eventually interest centered on a man and lady on the opposite side of the table. The man, tall and erect, wearing the complexion of an outdoor man, was none other than our capable athlete of former days, Alvin Bolstad. One gathered from the con- versation that he had numerous ranching interests in the State and also was connected some way with the Forestry Service. The lady was none other than Flora Lee Mendel, who after college had become a missionary in South Africa. Ellen Gibbons had entered the business world, first as a stenographer, then as a supervisor of persone 1 and finally as a company manager. She discussed at length the merits of a number of new products her firm was manufacturing to make life more pleasant for everyone. As the dinner hour continued, attention was again centered on the able hostess, Lucille Pollard. It seems as though, even during her high school days, Lucille had had a desire to own and operate a dude ranch. And with the building of the super high- way her dreams were realized. juniors DELORES DRANKY SAM ECONOM EVA RUTH MOODY GARDE PETERSON GLENN RYDEEN TED SAWYER BERTHA SIMAC TED THOMPSON DORIS WAITS Betty Fuller Nancy Gibbons Edith Pearson Effie Pearson Bob Rich Vernon Smith Martin Stulc Betty Wells Freshmen Not Pictured Leroy Walton Bill Waits .
