CLASS HISTORY In the fall of 1955, our star of knowledge was selected and we set forth to grasp it firmly. On the perilous, but merry journey were five boys: Dennis Wherley, Ronnie Erlandson, Ty Leonard, Melvin Udelhoven, and Jim Simac, and eight girls: Patsy Arthur, Carolyn Reppe, Mildred Stilson, Virginia Wall- ing, Betty Smith, Polly Philp, Violie and Ruby Pearson. Chosen to command our voyage for the year were: Patsy Arthur, President; Carolyn Reppe, Vice President; Dennis Wherley, Secretary-Treasurer; and Miss Crowley, Sponsor. We survived initiation without bitterness. Jim Simac and Carolyn Reppe were candidates from the freshman class for Gridiron King and Homecoming Queen. Betty Smith was crowned Carnival Queen for 1955. In the spring of 1956, the studious class traveled to Lewistown with Tex Olsen to peek at life outside the golden gates of Winifred. Once again, in the fall of 1956, the same class plus two sisters, Ella and Alice Berg, continued on to their shining star. The officers were; Dennis Wherley, President; Jim Simac, Vice President; Ronnie Erlandson, Secretary- Treasurer; and Mr. Boulet, Sponsor. Mildred Stilson took over the reign as Carnival Queen of 1956. Closer to their star, the fifteen students returned to Winifred for their junior year. Polly Philp, Jim Simac, Mildred Stilson, and Mr. Arnst were the officers and the sponsor. Patsy Arthur, much to our joy, was elected Carni- val Queen of 1957. She was also our candidate for Homecoming Queen. We were very proud of our job of editing the Prairie Dog Chatter. The class pre- sented the three-act comedy, Skinned Alive, on November 16, 1956, Miss Yoshimura was our director. On April 23, we were hosts at the junior-senior banquet; Polly Philp was toastmistress. On April 26, we presented our prom, Singing Waterfall, with Lund's Orchestra providing the music. The junior class also held a public dance to raise funds to replace money lost in the burglary of the school. Dennis Wherley, Jim Simac, and Betty Smith represented the class at the High School Rodeo. When we returned for our last year, our star shone brightly. We lost Carolyn Reppe, who preferred married life to school. We wish her the best of luck. Chosen to lead the class onward were; Patsy Arthur, Melvin Udelhoven, Betty Smith, and Polly Philp. Mr. Bergum was our sponsor. The school elected Polly Philp Carnival Queen of 1958, Patsy Arthur Homecoming Queen, and Dennis Wherley Gridiron King. The class sponsored a Donkey Basketball Game, December 18, 1958, which featured local players. This proved to be very humorous and enjoyable to the audience. We held a Christmas Ball on December 20, with music by the Denton Downbeats. The Boys of the class won the Class Basketball Tournament and trophy. Our senior play, Grandad Steps Out, was held April 4, 1959, followed by a public dance with music provided by Lund’s orchestra. Under Mr. Bergum's able direction, we think we produced the best play ever presented. Upon graduation, our star was reached and we stepped outward to explore the world.

CLASS PROPHECY Do ray eyes deceive me? No, it is my old classmate, Ty Leonard, bouncing gaily toward my plane in Black Oil, Texas, July 16, 1975. On his suitcase, the words Tenor Trip boldly stand out. He tells me that he is on his way to Alaska to box for the world title against the Ferocious Kid of Russia. As I welcomed him aboard, I noticed a tall, slender, exquisitely dressed woman hurrying to my plane. She came closer and I recognized her as the world famous child specialist, Ruby Pearson. With her was Virginia Walling, manager of Boys’ Town. In place of Father Flanagan, she was Mother Wallagan. They had, in their love for children, majored in these two fields. I was preparing to lock the doors, when I saw Melvin Udelhoven and his wife, his sweetheart from Winifred, hustling to the plane. He was returning to Alaska, the state in which he was gover- nor. He had come to Texas to enjoy the dry, hot climate. Our plane ascended and we moved easily through the air enroute to Alaska. We were over Montana, when the pilot reported that the right wing was on fire. After an unsuccessful attempt to smother the fire, a crash landing was made. When I came to, sometime later, Betty Smith, a former classmate, was pouring water on my face. I found that we had been rescued from the burning plane by Betty and her ranch crew. We were on Betty's large ranch, where she was putting on the Montana Square Garden Rodeo. To my surprise, Dennis Wherley alias Tibbs Wherley, was riding for the title of World Champ- ionship Saddle Bronc Rider; and Jim Simac - Shoulders Simac was competing for the title of World Championship Bull Rider. Betty invited the passengers and me to stay for the rodeo. That evening a small foreign car skidded into the driveway. Out hopped Alice Berg Snickle- brlnker, who had come to announce the rodeo. She was also the great TV love-lorn artist for grade school girls. With her was her sister, Ella Berg. Ella was very busy experimenting with her pet bugs and trying a new cure for an unknown disease brought to earth by the spacemen. She found her job as a laboratory technician very interesting. The day after the rodeo another plane was flown to the ranch and we continued on to Bear Mountain, Alaska. There I met Violie Pearson, who was teaching Biology and Rockology. In her spare time, she taught Bind and Sway dance steps at the Canadian Capers Studios. We landed in Once-A-Year-Chinook, Alaska and proceeded to the Yukon Gem Cafe. We were abruptly startled by a figure being thrown into the street. And don't come back again! the woman shouted as she slammed the door. Yes, Curly, the man answered, as he hopped on a dogsled and disappeared down the street. Curly! That was what Ronnie Erlandson used to call Patsy Arthur! Sure enough, Patsy was the proprietor of the cafe. £he invited me to stay at her room in Aunt Polly’s house. To my amaze- ment Polly Philp owned a rooming house and traveled about Alaska with an Archery Club of which she was a star performer. That night, I sat with the two women by the fireside knitting while num- erous cats huddled about. Both had been disgusted with love early in life. I also learned that Ronnie Erlandson was a policeman on the border patrol. Occasionally, he came to the frontier town to celebrate, but otherwise he was a respectable citizen. I left my friends and returned to the plane. The plane inspector had informed the pilot that the plane was in no condition to fly; but, since we had to return to our station, we left immediately. While we were humming over the land I did a little reminiscing. How my old classmates had changed; all of them had done well for themselves in the world. Then I remembered the plane inspector. Of course, it was Mr. Arnst, one of our former teachers and our junior class sponsor. The future - what we have all been looking forward to - lies ahead of us. Let's be sure we are ready to take ad- vantage of the opportunities it offers. The chances it presents will be many and varied. It will depend upon our personalities and interests whether or not we take advantage of them. Al- though many times we will be discour- aged we must let our goal give us fresh energy to strive for the aim that we set for ourselves early in life. To have a happy life we must have success. Yet, failure must be met. The future is what you make it. VALEDICTORIAN I would like to take this opportunity to wish my fellow classmates the very best of luck in the future. Those of you who are still in high school will be working toward a suc- cessful life if you take your school work seriously. The actual amount of time that you spend in school is very small compared to the time that you will have to work when you leave school. Try to get the most out of your high school days. Don’t be a bookworm, though, try to enter into extracurricular activities and sports. Remember, your teachers are here to help you, not to rule you. SALUTATORIAN BACCALAUREATE Baccalaureate Services were held May 24, 1959, at the Methodist Church in Winifred, with Rev. Branstetter officiating. Shirley Erlandson played the pro- cessional and recessional and also accompanied the Glee Club which sang two numbers. The WSCS Ladies served refreshments after the service. COMMENCEMENT Commencement Exercises were held at the Winifred High School on May 28, 1959, with Rev. Branstetter giving the Invocation and Benediction. Alice Berg was Valedictorian and Melvin Udelhoven was Salutatorian. Commencement speaker was Dr. Raymond Tryaer of Eastern Montana College of Education. Kathy Mendel, Vangie Stenslie, and Vernon Johnson provided the entertain- ment. The processional was played by Virginia Asbjornson.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADERS GRADE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES SPORTS When football coach Fred Arnst sent out the call for football last fall, four seniors, one junior, five sophomores, and five freshmen answered. The team took shape quick- ly, and with a lot of hard work and a good coach, the team had a very successful season. The season started with two non-conference games against Moccasin and Denton. Win- ifred easily beat Moccasin 32-6, and battled to an 18-18 tie with Denton. The team went through its conference schedule with but one defeat, and finished second in the district. The scores of the conference games were as follows: WINIFRED - - - - 18 St. Leos.........38 WINIFRED - - - - 44 Moore ------ 18 WINIFRED - - - - 44 Winnett..........13 WINIFRED - -- -42 Roy...............8 WINIFRED - - - - 51 Grass Range-----36 After completing their conference schedule Winifred traveled to Geraldine for their final game of the year. The Raiders out-played and out-scored Geraldine for a 33-18 victory. Graduating from this year's team will be Co-captains Dennis Wherley and Melvin Udelhoven, Ty Leonard and Ronnie Erlandson. Returning lettermen will be Jerry Udel- hoven, Ed Mendel, Pat Wherley, Glenn Halverson, Tom Wickens, and Larry Udelhoven. These boys all show a lot of promise, and should have another successful season next year.

There were enough boys to form two squads. Soon practice was in full swing in preparation for the first game of the season on December 12.

TRACK 1959 This year's track squad, although they were very young, had a fairly suc- cessful season. Five of the six boys out for track earned their letters. The squad will have all but one of their lettermen back for next year. Those who placed at the District 9 track meet and qualified for the North- ern Division were: Jerry Udelhoven in the low hurdles, high hurdles and high jump; John Scoville in the mile; Pat Wherley in the high jump and broad jump; Bob Wickens in the 440; and Ty Leonard in the discus.

Alternate: ALICE BERG The American Legion Auxiliary deserves a great deal of credit for aiding the education of today's youth by sending a delegate to Girls' State in Bozeman. At Girls' State the girls learn how the local and state governments are run and they set up actual model governments. An informed and loyal citizenry is essential to continuance of our repub- lican form of government. The most practical way to teach loyalty and citizen- ship is through practical application of political science. The American Legion Auxiliary fosters good citizenship and loyalty by sending their delegate to Girls' State.
