These trophies have been won in competition with students of other schools during our four years in high school. It is only through the cooperation of the entire student body that we have been able to accumulate such a splendid display of memories. Winifred High School has made an enviable reputation for itself in sportsmanship, competitive spirit and leadership. The lessons learned on the basketball court, or on the gridiron, or in any of the other organized school activities are lessons of great value to the future citizens graduating from our high school. We are proud of you. Con- tinue to fight for honesty and fair play in the game of life. Sincerely Much planning, hard work and responsibility have gone into the preparation and publication of this 1955-56 annual. The Staff has endeavored toshowa true birds-eye view of the Winifred School and a few glimpses of school life as it existed. They have tried to take you on an abbreviated visit to the many classes, important events and functions of a busy school year. The book will be a valuable keep-sake for you who were students at Winifred during the year 1955-56. As you thumb its pages in future years you will re- live and remember many occasions and events at Winifred High. You will reacquaint yourself with the many friends you made and perhaps spend a minute or two on each, just wondering where they are and what they are doing. You will perhaps chuckle at the odd costumes worn by the students of 1955-56. You will probably give the faculty page a hurried glance and perhaps forgive their stern looks when you think of the many trials and tribulations they must have had to bring each and every student through the required subject matter. Last but not least a sincere .congratulation goes to each and every member of the annual staff for the fine contribution they have made in publishing this year- book. 7 fu tcc fciC acuity Back: Mr. Olsen, Mr. Bergum, Mr. C.

CLASS MOTTO: Face the sunshine and you will never see the shadow COLORS: Blue and Silver FLOWER; Crocus In the year 1952, early in September, there set sail over the Sea of Knowledge a Magnificent Ship, proudly bearing the banner of the red and the white. This ship was undertaking a long, difficult, and somewhat dangerous and uncertain journey. There were four ports on its charted route; its original crew was composed of seven boys and one girl. The names of these were Larry Arthur, Boyd Bergum, Martin Mendel, Mary Mendel, Jerry Osburnsen, Eugene Erlandson, Glenn Scoville and Bobbie Simac. The first port was on Freshman Isle. The ship tied up for a year at this point and many voyages were made upon the river of the unexplored island. The members of the crew learned much from these ventures that proved helpful and useful at later stops. When the fall of 1953 came around the captain and his crew shoved off for new lands of adventure. This time they came to Sophomore Isle, a shining land of make- believe, it seemed. The atmosphere was light and the knowledge gained here seemed to swell the heads of the crew. This isle of make-believe was too much for this valiant crew and early in the fall of 1954 they set forth on a stormy sea to ports unknown. Out from port but a few days a signal of distress was sighted starboard on a choppy sea. A rescue was made and four cold and wet people were dragged aboard. Their names were Donald Letz, Leroy Barritt, Henry Jones and Shirley Reppe. With this added roster the Magnificent Ship made way to Junior Isle. A lovely place it was. Knowledge, enter- tainment and activities of all kinds prevailed. Disaster also struck; as first mate, Don Letz set out to sea one day in search of knowledge and never returned to port. Time went fast and soon it was time to sail. Again disaster hit the gallant crew as when the captain shouted, Anchors aweigh Henry Jones and LeRoy Barritt were missing. They had decided to stop at Junior Isle and make their own plans for the future. On a bright and shiny September morning in the year of 1955 the ship and its added crew member, Sam Willis, came in sight of Senior Isle. Its glowing shore line, its shining mountains foretold of what seemed to be promised land. Our skipper shortly in- formed his crew that the stay here would be but nine very short and busy months and that there was much to do and much to learn. In view of the glorious scenery before them that early September morning it was impossible for some to heed the skipper's warning. The stay on Senior Isle was short. The skipper's prediction came true. Most of the gallant crew attained new heights of knowledge, wisdom and courage. A few learned their lessons in harder manner. At the end of this year they found that Senior Isle was not a promised land but a stepping place into the vast territory called My Future. The skipper also advised his crew that this voyage was to be made each on his own. So ended the short and active journey through high school for the members of the Class of 1956. Best of luck to each and every one of you. Our Junior Year: Play: Arsenic and Old Lace Prom: Evening in Paris Orchestra: The Four Scholars Twelve-Year Students: Boyd Bergum Martin Mendel Mary Mendel cutcC s4ftex TVeneet't 20e @ute? The Year Nineteen Hundred and Eighty A peer into the future, via an old crystal ball, gave the writer some very interesting facts about the members of the famous class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-six. From the very depths of the crystal ball one could see an air force man who was rec- ognized as being Jerry Osburnsen. Jerry had joined the air force shortly after graduating from college and was well on his way to becoming a big wheel. Aside from his career the wife and four children were definitely his pride and joy. The crystal momentarily clouded over and then cleared and there sat Martin Mendel, as big as you please, behind an editor's desk in some distant city. He had made good in the field of journalism but not so good in the field of matrimony. Now the scene changes from cow country to city and--no it can't be--yes, it is--the former Mary Mendel is stepping out of one of the busy elevators of a large office building. Mary had found employment as a secretary for a law firm, married the president's son, and is now an active member of the law firm, Ketchum and Sockum. After a moment or two of intense gazing there came into view a very, very bald man. Upon turning around the writer noted that this very bald head belonged to a wealthy Wini- fred rancner named Robert K. Simac. Bob, as he was known in school, had married a secretly-loved schoolmate and was considered a very successful rancher. The crystal ball fogged over again and it took a bit of concentration to bring it back into focus, then plain as day one could see Glenn Scoville at an engineer's desk; busy at the task of designing and drawing plans for an ultra-modem school building. Glenn was undecided about his future during his high school days, but found his gifted talents in col- lege. Glenn had married a shy little girl from across the river and his four future engineers are keeping him on his toes. Now there is something that looks familiar. It’sgoodold Winifred High School. But something has been added--in place of the old grade school building there is a new one and to the west is a new school gym with classrooms all around it. With the scene changing to the gymnasium floor one sees a tall slender man with a receding hairline coaching the Red Raiders of Nineteen Eighty. Sure enough the lad had followed his father's footsteps and had gone into teaching and coaching. The man is Boyd Bergum and by the looks of the trophy case things have gone well for the coach and his teams. What’s this the mystic ball is bringing forth? There stands a man on a street corner yelling Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour, — See the pretty picture on the box. ” As we look closer we see that in place of Aunt Jemima’s picture there is Eugene Erlandson's picture with a white hat on and mixing pancakes with a big scoop shovel. It seems as though Gene had done very well in the musical profession and had bought out the pancake company. Now one sees Larry Arthur and notes that he has given up rodeo bull riding and has gone to Mexico where he is trying to find out what the horsefly will be doing ten years from now if the horse keeps going out and the automobiles keep coming in. Larry had married a senorita from down Mexico way. The crystal ball now brings into view an arid section of land on this side of the Rio Grande. There sitting in the noontime shade holding a comic book in his hand and saying to himself: I wonder if Mutt will ever be as tall as Jeff,” is Sam. Poor Sam, that Arizona heat must have gotten him after leaving cool Montana.

I, Shirley Reppe Thompson, will my secretarial work to Judy Udelhoven. I, Larry Arthur, will my athletic ability to any Freshman boy who wishes to accept same and my an talents to Johnny Asbjornson. We, the annual staff, will leave the task of editing next year’s book to the worthy Juniors. acccUauneate Baccalaureate Services for the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-six were held in the school gymnasium on the evening of May twentieth at eight o’clock. Reverend A. L. Edmonds of the Zion Lutheran and American Lutheran Churches gave a very inspiring ad- dress to the graduates. Shirley Erlandson played the processional and recessional marches. Graduation exercises were held Friday evening May twenty-fifth at the Winifred gymnasium. Mary Mendel gave the valedictory address and Jerry Osburnsen gave the salutatory address. Professor Albert Helbing of the University of Montana was the com- mencement speaker and gave a very thought-provoking speech. Musical numbers were two duets by Mr. and Mrs. Russell Whitmore and two vocal solos by Leo Osburnsen. The processional was played by Shirley Erlandson. Eighth grade diplomas were also presented. Seetiox The graduates of 1956 departed for Yellowstone Park and other points of interest on the morning following graduation, namely. May 26. They traveled in three cars and were accompanied by several parents and teachers. Since Gardiner was the destination for the first night's stay the caravan set a rather lei- surely pace, stopping at Lewistown, Big Timber, Livingston and Chico Hot Spring. At the latter stop the graduates enjoyed a swim in the indoor pool. Very comfortable and rest in- viting cabins were secured at the Jim Bridger Tourist Court in Gardiner. Early the next morning the smell of fried bacon and hot cakes soon aroused the slumber- ing students to consciousness. After a hearty breakfast prepared by the adult members of the party the caravan entered the park for a very busy and interesting day. The grand loop was travelled except for Dunraven Pass and Tower Falls where the road was still blocked by win- ter's snow. Stops at Mammoth Hot Springs, Upper and Lower Geyser Basin, West Thumb, Lake and Canyon made this a very busy day. The stops were numerous so as to study the wild life, scenery, and the many oddities that Yellowstone Park is noted for. Camera fiends had a field day. A tired but happy group returned to Gardiner for the evening. After an- other fine home-cooked meal the group attended a movie and called it a day. The third day took the group through to West Yellowstone, on to historic Virginia City, then through the Lewis and Clark Cavern, west of Three Forks and on to Winifred. A trip such as this, that covers so large an area in so short a time cannot begin to do justice to the many, many beauty spots and places of interest along the way but it is hoped that it will kindle a desire and an urge to go again and to make many trips about this won- derland called the West.

Since all the seniors were letter- men from the previous year's champions, the team took shape rapidly, but no one dreamed of what was to come. A lot of hard working boys and a good coach brought about this happy and successful season. The season started out with a non-conference game against Denton. This game was the first of the year for both teams. Winifred won 56-12. The team went through its district schedule without losing a game. The scores were as follows: WINIFRED 71 45 51 51 Moore - - forfeited Winnett - - - - 25 St. Leo's - - - - 0 Roy---------- • 0 Judith Gap - - - 0 Since Belt won the district ten championship. Belt and Winifred played off the inter-dis- trict game in Lewistown. The Red Raiders out-passed, out-played and out-scored the Belt Huskies 40-18, giving them the right to meet the Simms Tigers for the Northern Divisional Championship. This game was also to be played in Lewistown. These two teams played on even terms with Simms scoring first and Winifred following, leaving the score 6-6 at the half. Beginning the second half the Raiders scored first and led for the first and only time 13-6. Simms then tied it up again and in the final moments completed a desperation pass play that gave them the winning touchdown. The final score was 20-13. The six senior boys, namely Jerry Osbumsen, Boyd Bergum, Martin Mendel, Larry Arthur, Glenn Scoville and Eugene Erlandson saw most of the action. Bob Simac the sev- enth senior had the misfortune of getting injured early in the season and was deprived of further play in football. Underclassmen who saw considerable action and show a lot of promise of making next year's team a repeater are the two junior boys, Bill Sawyer and Jim Arthur, the sophomores, Louis Miros, Jack Brooks, Noble Hamilton, John Carr and Bobby Olsen and Freshman Dennis Wherley.

Enough boys reported to form two squads. Since Winifred was invited to the St. Leo's Thanksgiving tournament, practice took on a serious nature from the very beginning. Other teams invited were Stanford and Grass Range. The Raiders defeated St. Leo’s in the first evening's game and went on to conquer the championship from Stanford the final evening. In season play the Red Raiders” won all but one game and were presented the con- ference trophy for winning first place. They also earned the right to keep the traveling Jake trophy for winning the most consecutive games. This trophy is lost when-another team defeats the team having it in its possession. At the District Nine Tournament in Lewistown the Winifred Red Raiders success- fully defended their season's record by taking first place. They met and defeated Judith Gap, Winnett and Moore in this tournament. By taking first in the District Nine Tournament the Raiders advanced to the Northern Divisional Tournament in Choteau. The first and second place teams from Districts Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve were represented in this tournament. The Raiders got off to a bad start and were defeated the first day by the Simms Tigers. They played the Power Pirates Saturday morning and defeated them to advance into the Consolation games for third and fourth place. Here they met the Simms Tigers for the second time. Simms again defeated them and the Raiders ended up in fourth place. This was the second consecutive year that Winifred won fourth in the Northern Divisonal Tournament. At the year's end the Raiders lose the service of their seven senior boys. Captain J. Osburnsen, B. Simae, B. Bergum, L. Arthur, M. Mendel, E. Erlandson, and G. Scoville. The defending District Champions for next year will consist of Sophomores J. Brooks, N. Hamilton, D. Kucera, L. Miros, J. Asbjornson, J. Carr, B. Olsen, L. Wherley, and R. Asbjornson. Promising freshmen are D. Wherley, J. Simae, M. Udelhoven, and Ty Leonard.
