Winifred High School - Red Raider Yearbook (Winifred, MT)

Page 14 text:

 In the fall of 1951 eleven bashful and helpless freshmen were guided to the High School door by the upperclassmen. These freshmen were Bonnie Hess, Marian Bolstad, Rosetta Stulc, Bonnie Thompson, Darlene Crow, Leo Osburnsen, Tom Thomp- son, Gordon Kucera, George Econom, Tony Arthur, and Gene Heller. They looked forward to their hi school daze but were a little worried about the initiation the Sophomores had in store for them. We lost Darlene Crow in April, when she got married. As we passed to our Sophomore year we were a little older and bolder. Sam Hunt transferred to Winifred from Nova Scotia to join our happy throng. We then were jolly juniors. This year we lost Gene Heller when he moved to Denton with his family. Our junior year brought an inspiring play Desperate Ambrose to life. In our view it was the greatest production ever to enter W. H. S. Another outstanding event of our Junior year was the Junior-Senior Prom and Banquet, with the theme entitled Moonlight and Roses. At the prom and banquet a floor show was put on by the fifth and sixth grade girls who danced and sang to the song Moonlight and Roses around the maypole. As we begin our Senior year we realize just how much our high school has meant to us. This year Rosetta Stulc and Bonnie Hess left us and got married, but they finished high school by correspondence. Two other girls graduating with us are Marilyn and Margaret Moore. They have been in our class since Fresh- men, but they were taking their school by correspondence. We realize in graduating, our joyful and studious class will be great- ly missed throughout Winifred High School. As we venture out in the strange world, we wish to express our deep appreciation and thanks to our parents and teachers as well as our community for making our high school life so happy and prosperous.
