COOKS-JANITOR-CLERK •- I 4 Olga Hess Sidney Seilstad 3 Ingvald Strand Beth Bergum IN MEMORIAM In memory of Norman Heath, who died in a tragic auto- mobile accident on February 15, 1964. Although Mr. Heath was here for only a short time, he made many friends in and out of school. This was Mr. Heath's first year of teaching following his college gradua- tion in June of 1963. To the students and teachers of Winifred High School, he was not only a teacher, but a close friend as well. He was gifted with an exceptionally fine mind, determined ambition, and a winning personal- ity. So it is with regret that we note the passing of this young man who had so many potentialities for a worth- while future. Many memories concerning Norman Heath will be carried forever in the hearts of all those who knew him. NORMAN EDWARD HEATH 1941-1964 SUPERINTENDENT MR. T. M. BERGUM, B. A.

We began with six boys: Don Arthur, Andy Anderson, Bill Olsen, Bill Crow, Tom Gibbons, and Charles Philp; and seven girls: Robin Heggem, Sharon Heggem, Patricia Wickens, Marjorie Thompson, Cathy Scoville, Janet Udelhoven, and Shirley Tuss. Patty Jo Foster joined us after the first six weeks. Class officers for the year were: President-Don Arthur, Vice- president-Andy Anderson, and Secretary-treasurer-Patricia Wickens. Mr. Frethiem, our class sponsor, helped us throughout the year. Don Arthur and Robin Heggem were the freshmen candidates for Gridiron King and Homecoming Queen. For the carnival, Marjorie Thompson was the freshman candidate. Once again, in the fall of 1961, we returned to the jolly halls of WHS to begin our sophomore year. Charles Philp had transferred to Lewistown, and Margaret Phillips and Jo Anne Peters, both of Hilger joined our class. To lead the class for the year were: President-Janet Udelhoven, Vice-president- Marjorie Thompson, Secretary-treasurer-Robin Heggem, and Class Sponsor-Mr. Comes. To compete for Gridiron King and Homecoming Queen for the year were Andy Anderson and Patricia Wickens. Robin Heggem was crowned Carnival Queen for 1961. In basketball, Andy Anderson and Don Arthur made a fine showing and helped our team win first place in the District Nine Tournament and fourth place in the Northern Divisional at Great Falls. Closer to our goal, we returned a more serious group and entered our junior year prepared for the responsibilities which it held for us. Gary Steffensmier entered our junior year with us but left in a few weeks. To keep our class duties in order, we chose Don Arthur-President, Cathy Scoville-Vice-president, Margaret Phillips-Secretary, Sharon Heggem-Treasurer, Mr. Lehman and Mr. Newville-Class Sponsors. Our major task for the year was the publishing of the Prairie Dog Chatter, on which we won an All- State rating. We also won a Tuberculosis Award on articles relating to tuberculosis which we printed in our paper. Although our basketball team didn't do too well during the season we came back in the tourn- ament to win fourth place. We combined our energies and talents to present our junior play, I Was A Teen-age Dracula. Our final endeavor of the year was the junior prom Moon River which turned out to be a big success. Gridiron King and Homecoming Queen candidates were Andy Anderson and Sharon Heggem. Shirley Tuss was chosen Carnival Queen candidate. Bill Olsen was king candidate for the 1962 Sno Ball, and Margaret Phillips reigned as Sno Ball Queen. At last the time came for us to take our final step. We entered our senior year determined to make the most of it. Chosen to lead our class for the last time were: President-Cathy Scoville, Vice-president- Bill Crow, Secretary-Marjorie Thompson, Treasurer-Janet Udelhoven, and Sponsors-Mr. Bergum and Mr. Comes. During the year we lost Don Arthur who joined the army. We all wish him the best of luck in his future. This year, as in the past three years, we were the top sellers in the annual high school magazine drive. Sharon Heggem was the winner of the Betty Crocker Homemaker Award. Gridiron King for 1963 was Bill Olsen, and the senior Homecoming Queen candidate was Cathy Scoville. Patty Jo Foster reigned as Carnival Queen. Senior candidates for the Sno Ball were Bill Crow and Jo Anne Peters. Under our English teacher, Mr. Corcoran's, able direction we produced a comedy, Grandma's Best Years. Upon graduation, our high school years successfully completed, we ventured into the world to see what it would hold for us. 8 SENIORS 10 MARJORIE JEANNE THOMPSON Secretary JANET VIRGINIA UDELHOVEN Treasurer 12 MARGARET ANN PHILLIPS JOANNE PETERS SHIRLEY JEAN TUSS PATRICIA ANNE WICKENS Years at Winifred-11 Class President-1 Class President-3 Letterman's Club-1, 2, 3 I Was A Teen-Age DracuIa-3 Tackle Trophy-3 Homecoming King Candidate-1 Basketball-1, 2, 3 Football-1, 2, 3 Football Co-Captain-3 Track-1, 2 Interscholastic Track Meet-2 Paper Staff-3 High School Rodeo-2, 3 Donny left his class at the beginning of his senior year to join the Armed Service and thus is not a graduating senior. 13 DONALD GENE ARTHUR SENIOR DIRECTORY CLASS COLOR------Blue and White CLASS FLOWER------Camellia CLASS MOTTO-------Happy is the man who knows what to remember in the past—what to do in the present—what to plan in the future.

FOOTBALL ”63” The 63 football season for the Red Raiders began enthusiastically, for everyone was anticipat- ing a fine team. There were five seniors, four juniors, five sophomores and four freshmen; of these, ten were returning lettermen. During the season three of our star players were injured. James Scoville was put out of action by a broken rib, Billy Olsen received a slight brain con- cussion and Orren Reppe was injured internally. Orren was in the hospital for about two and a half months and, though now well, he will not be able to play football in future years. Despite these drawbacks, our boys showed fine spirit and ability and went on to win 3rd place in conference play. Graduating from this year's team are lettermen Don Arthur, Andy Anderson, Billy Crow, Billy Olsen and Tom Gibbons. We are proud to say that all the boys earned a letter this year.

A” SQUAD BASKETBALL The 1963-64 basketball season proved quite successful for the Winifred Red Raiders. The Raiders were in good shape and worked hard during the basketball season. In conference play, the Ra iders had six wins an J six losses which placed them fourth in conference standing. The team went into the district nine tournament with high hopes and determined ambition, but the Raiders were defeated in their first two games. The Win- nett Rams over-powered them in their first tournament game by a score of 63 to 50. In their second game, the Raiders tangled with the hard playing Judith Gap Tigers. The Tigers eliminated the Red Raiders from the tournament with a 53 to 35 victory over them.

Track meets are scored on the basis of total team points accumulated from the various events that the team members placed in; therefore the more that participate in these track meets the more chance the school has of winning trophies. For the Winifred track boys, practice for the 1964 season got under way in the mid- dle of March with eight boys reporting. The boys included; senior-Andy Anderson, juniors-Jim Wickens and James Scoville, sophomores-Howard Tuss and Spencer Peterson and freshmen-David Wickens and Mike Campbell. Opening practices, because of cold, wind and wet weather, were confined mainly to calisthenics and weight lifting in the gymnasium. Only after the weather finally cleared up and the track had been bladed were the boys able to practice their specific events on the field. Their first competition was a duel meet with Roy that was held at Winifred on the 17th of April. The Grass Range Invitational was held next on April 24th, with fifteen schools from Central and Eastern Montana participating. The annual Northern Division Decathlon was held the following Tuesday, April 28th, at Denton with four of our upper classmen participating. They were: Andy Anderson, Howard Tuss, Jim Wickens, and James Scoville. The next Friday, May 1st, they competed with sixteen of the Northern Division schools at the Denton Invitational. This was their last workout before they journeyed to Denton again on May 6th, to compete in the District Nine meet where they qualified four boys to enter in the Northern Division meet which was held in Great Falls May 17th. Boys qualifying were: Andy Anderson who placed in the shot, discuss, high jump and relay; Howard Tuss placing in the 440, 880, broad jump and re- lay; Jim Wickens placing in the shot and relay; and James Scoville who placed in the relay. These four boys were also the ones who received letters in track this year. St. Leo's won the District Nine meet, with Grass Range coming in second. After the season was over for the track team, Mr. Sauvageau took the four boys that qualified for Divisional to the Interscholastic meet in Missoula. This trip was promised to the boys that came out for track and placed in the District Nine meet. 29 KNEELING: James Wickens, Dave Wickens, James Scoville.

Distracted. Maddened. That's what the innocent father was. And who wouldn't be. He was forced to live in a house with a neurotic ex-pugilist who started fighting whenever a doorbell rang. And Mr. Haines was always standing near when it did ring. Not only that, but a strange Miss Cholmundeley----(as dizzy and stupid as they come) had taken up her abode. It all happened on the night of the Junior Prom, when Hildy came down with the measles, and everybody in the Haines residence was quarantined. The illassorted couple who called on Mr. Haines (believing he was a psychoanalyst) were unfortunately in the house at the time. It was Chuck's fault though. Innocently enough, in testing out his printing press, he ran off some headbills proclaiming a DO YOU THINK YOU'RE INSANE--ARE YOU LOSING YOUR MIND?------------SEE DR. HAINES ad that brought forth results in the form of mental patients. Hildy couldn't attend the Prom, of course; and after she and Queenie had struggled so hard on the date angle too. And now, beautiful cousin Cora was probably using her charms on Willie. Not that Willie was such a prize ; the girls had palmed him off on Cora in the first place, in favor of more glamorous dates. But how could a person carry on love plots when she was measle afflicted? Well, the quarantine was finally lifted; romance and youthful schemes played the field once more. The pugilist-dizzy dame pair left the house. They had fallen in love in the meantime, and it wasn't long before they came back to the house to announce their engagement! But the blow that just about killed everybody was when Mr. Haines came down with the measles! ! !

When Grandma Simms came from the farm to visit her daughter, she found a situation which was not to her liking. It seemed that her daughter, Mrs. Abbott, had become a social climber since the death of her husband, and the three Abbott children and Sadie, the maid, were having a miserable time. The very day Gram arrived, Mrs. Abbott was bringing three upper-crust guests home for the week-end. One of them was rich and snobbish Edwin Carlson, who, Mrs. Abbott insist- ed her daughter Joyce must marry, although she loved Jim Meyerson, a local telegraph operator. Another of her guests was Miss Quelch, who ran an exclusive girls' school, to which Mrs. Abbott intended to send her fifteen year old daughter, Marion. Willie, the thirteen year old son, was also suffering, because his mother wouldn't allow him to do anything he want- ed and insisted that he practice on his violin so that she could impress people with her culture. Well, Gram was determined to put a stop to all this, and she came up with the brilliant scheme of inviting the family blacksheep to Mrs. Abbott's week-end party. She thought this ought to sufficiently disgrace her social climbing daughter and set things straight. This scheme didn't come off quite as planned because since she had never seen cousin Oscar, the family blacksheep, Gram mistook a criminal for her long lost relative and he, needing a hideout, accepted her invitation and even brought his wife and daughter. Naturally the week-end party was hardly what Mrs. Abbott had hoped for, but neither was it exactly what Gram wanted, for the criminal relatives found it necessary to get rough, causing plenty of exciting complications. But when Gram got ahold of her trusty shotgun, she emerged the heroine of the situations, the police nabbed the long-sought gangsters, Mrs. Abbott began to see the light, allowing her children to follow their true inclinations, and Jim and Gram got handsome re- wards.

The invocation was given by Rev. Harvey Frye, followed by a delicious meal. Entertainment was provided by the Fergus Quartet, who sang several selections. Arthur Osburnsen, guest speaker, gave a short talk, after which Catherine Scoville, Senior Class President, gave a word of thanks. The prom, Song in my Heart, held April 11, was decorated elaborately in shades of pink. A large crowd attended, and at 10:30 they were entertained with a promenade consisting of the juniors and seniors and their dates. Serving delicious punch in the garden, were the junior high girls. The Harris Orchestra furnished the music throughout the evening. Everyone had a wonderful time and appreciated the many efforts of the juniors to make it a huge success. Patti Jo Foster and Robin Fergus Quartet Heggem Promenade 38 ATHLETIC BANQUET The Winifred Pep Club sponsored the Athletic Banquet on May 13, 1964. This Banquet is held each year to honor the athletics. Pep Club President, Sharon Heggem acted as toastmistress for the evening and under her able direction the program went off efficiently.

The first assembly, sponsored by the Winifred school, was a man who was stricken with polio at the age of twenty. Steve Chase's program consisted of various stunts performed with his wheel chair. He now plays basketball with the Flying Wheels, a team composed of disabled veterans who play basketball in wheel chairs. The second National School Assembly was presented by Mr. Jim Lambert whose program pertained to chemistry and the lastest miracles of science that are rapidly changing our destiny. The third National School Assembly featured Mr. Ed Schetter who talked on and demonstrated Yoga for the students. Mr. Schetter demonstrated exercises which anyone can practice to keep the body in good health. Selected students performed various exercises under his direction. The fourth assembly presented baritone Ray Lindsey whose specialty is folk songs, many of which he has written himself. The students were very well entertained by his singing of folk songs from other lands. His accompanist also entertained us by solo selections on the piano. Don Comfort, an accomplished accordionist, furnished entertainment for the fifth and final National School Assembly Program. Mr. Comfort played popular music, ballads, and some novelty and classical songs on his electronic accordian. These assemblies, besides being entertaining, have many educational aspects also. 40 Mr. Ed Schetter Mr. Don Comfort — m ORGANIZATIONS WINIFRED BAND FIRST ROW - Left to Right: Douglas Miller, Mark Elhert, Tom Gibbons, Sharon Amtzen, Patti Jo Foster, Cathy Scoville.

BAND ACTIVITIES The Winifred Band, directed by Mrs. Margaret Yadon, was formed at the beginning of the school year. Its first performance was at the half of the Homecoming game in the fall, when the band and twirlers marched on the football field led by Robin Heggem, majorette. Several numbers were played by the band and the twirlers went through a routine. After the victorious outcome, the band members, seated on a truck, played while they were driven down Main Street in the Homecoming parade. Again in December, the band performed at the annual Christmas program, playing Christmas selections. During the year, the students practiced on their instruments so they could give a good showing at the Music Festival in Lewistown, on May 2nd. Due to the rain, the band was unable to play on the street comer in the morning, as is the usual procedure. Instead they played in the Civic Center. During the afternoon, the stu- dents playing in mass band practiced for it, while Patti Jo Foster, who was chosen to represent Winifred as queen contestant, attended a coke party for all the contestants. The parade that was scheduled for 4:30 was not held. At 8 o'clock, music by the mass band was presented to a large crowd and enjoyed by all. The last performance by the band was on Play Day, May 16, 1964. Special mention must be given to the members of the band who played solos during the year for various activities. They were as follows: Bill Crow - saxophone, Tom Gibbons - trumpet, Patti Jo Foster - clarinet, and Catherine Scoville - clarinet. Cathy did well enough to be awarded a trip to All-State Band in Billings. Patti Jo and Cathy also played a duet during the year. 42 TWIRLERS FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Shirley Carson, Gail Catron, Brenda Yadon, Donna Foster, and Patti Jo Foster.

Throughout the year the mixed chorus sang at the Christmas program, entertained the Community Club at one of its meetings, and performed at Play Day held in the spring. The girls in the chorus sang at the Silver Tea sponsored by the American Lutheran Church Women and also at a meeting of the Womens' Society of Christian Service. Concerning the project of earning money to buy choir robes, a bake sale was held in Winifred, bringing in some profit. Later on, the chorus sponsored a supper, which helped the fund also. Although there has not been enough money earned to pay for the robes yet, the members of the chorus will continue to exert their effort to do so.

THE YEAR’S WORK The first major task of the 1963-64 Annual Staff was the election of the Editors, Business Managers and Photographers. Margaret Phillips and Andy Anderson were chosen as Editors, Catherine Scoville and Patricia Wickens were chosen as Business Managers, Don Arthur was given the position as the Sports Editor and Janet Udelhoven assumed the role of Photographer. Since the total production cost of the Annual was around $1,000, the Annual Staff kept busy' during the year earning the necessary cash. This was done first by selling advertisement space in the Annual. This task required several days in Lewistown besides contacting the local businesses. A car wash and a bake sale were also held to help raise money. The actual work of the Annual began early in the year and everyone on the staff worked hard so that every deadline could be met. Although certain people were elected to certain positions, everyone worked on the overall production of the Annual. The first step was the layout of the dummy sheets. On these sheets we determined what was to go on the final copy. Pictures were croped, blown down or enlarged to fit the space alloted for them. Articles were written up concerning the various topics included in the Annual. All those on the Annual Staff worked hard to try to make this Annual distinct and unique to the graduating seniors. 45 PAPER STAFF SEATED: Jim Wickens, Sharon Amtzen, Mr. Knodel, Adviser, Nancy Thompson, James Scoville. STANDING: Shirley Carson, Larry Schaeffer, Roger Reppe, Darwin Heggem, Tommy Udelhoven, Barbara Sparks. THE YEARS WORK At the beginning of the school term the juniors began the monthly task of publishing the PRAIRIE DOG CHATTER. The paper staff consisted of Nancy Thompson and Sharon Amtzen who were chosen as Co-Editors; James Scoville assumed the duties of Business and Advertising Manager. Grade News Editor was Larry Schaeffer and Shirley Carson became Community News Editor; Circulation Manager was Tommy Udelhoven. Darwin Heggem, Roger Rcppe, and Tommy Udelhoven were chosen as Sports Editors, and Headline Editors were Nancy Thompson, Sharon Amtzen, and Barbara Sparks. Barbara also took charge of the ArtWork, the Coloring Contests, and the Calendar of Events. Jim Wickens and Darwin Heggem were Production Managers. The junior class was responsible for proofreading, reporting, and typing. Mr. Harold Knodel was their adviser. Besides editing the PRAIRIE DOG CHATTER each month, the staff also published the RODEO NEWS for the North Central Rodeo Association. The paper staff used the amount received from this venture to publish their own paper. One of the accomplishments of the paper staff during the year was changing the front page headline PRAIRIE DOG CHATTER. For this they received a favorable recommendation in the EDITOR, a newspaper published by the Montana Interscholastic Education Association. All in all, the paper staff had a very successful and rewarding year. 46 SPEECH CLUB SEATED: Mary Ann Tresch, Janet Udelhoven, Mr. Heath, advisor, Sharon Heggem. STANDING: Shirley Tuss, Patricia Wickens, Robin Heggem, Patty Jo Foster, Shirley Carson. Speech Club is an organization that is formed to help its members in the art of public speaking. Our members took part in Serious Humorous and Oratorical Declamation. These divisions help channel the mem- bers' ability into one particular area. Throughout the year the members work on their speeches privately and before their advisor. Speech meets are then held in different towns with several schools attending. There is great competition at these meets, and it helps a person in later life. It is also a very rich experience to listen to some of the better speakers. Another outstanding feature of speech club, is the fact that you meet many young people from different schools. The 1963-64 Winifred Speech Club, began with the election of officers. Sharon Heggem .was elected as President, Janet Udelhoven as Vice-president, and Mary Ann Tresch as Secretary, Mr. Heath was our advisor first semester and Mr. Corcoran second semester. The girls that entered into the different divisions are as follows: Shirley Tuss, Robin Heggem, Patty Jo Foster - Serious Declamation, Janet Udelhoven, Patricia Wickens, Shirley Carson - Oratorical Declamation, and Mary Ann Tresch and Sharon Heggem - Humorous Declamation. 47 PEP CLUB FIRST ROW: Lorriane Heggem, Barbara Sparks, Nancy Asbjomson.

We are living in a dynamic and changing world. Man's dreams of a few years ago are now reality and commonplace. It is dif- ficult to predict what will happen tomorrow, but of one thing we can be-sure, namely that there will be changes, and that these changes will affect all aspects of our society. For this reason, I urge you, the students of W.H. S. to make the most of your high school years, scholastically and socially. Now’ is the time to prepare your- self for the years that lie ahead-. SALUTATORIAN To those of you who are still in high school it is later than you think. Your four years in high school are very important ones and you should make the most of them by participating in as many classes and activities as possible. Now is the time to develop good study habits which will carry over into the future. This education will be a very valuable aid in the years to come. Always work up to your capabilities and you will be a worthwhile citizen to both your com- munity and your country. 50 GIRLS’ STATE AND BOYS’ STATE Alternate: ROBIN HEGGEM Alternate: BILL CROW Delegate: CATHY SC OVILLE Delegate: ANDY ANDERSON During the summer of 1963 the Winifred American Legion Post No. 120 sponsored Andy Anderson as dele- gate to Boys State. Billy Crow was chosen as alternate, and in the event that Andy would be unable to attend, Billy would take his place. Also Cathy Scoville was sponsored to Girls' State by the Legion Auxiliary and Robin Heggem was chosen as alternate. The Girls' State delegate was chosen by the faculty and the rest of the girls in the Junior Class since they were ten in number. The Boys' State delegate was chosen by the faculty only. These students were chosen on the basis of ability to speak, honesty, leadership, citizenship, cooperation and scholarship.

It was to be a year of good times, happiness, sadness and disappointments for all. The first few days of school the students enrolled in the various classes, elected their class officers and sponsors, reorganized school clubs and got acquainted with the new students and teachers. The following subjects were offered to the students: FRESHMEN: General Busi- ness, English I, Algebra I, Spanish I, and General Sci- ence; SOPHOMORES: English II, Physics, World History, Typing I, Spanish I and Geometry; JUNIORS: U. S. History, Spanish I, Typing II, Chemistry, English III and Shorthand I; SENIORS: English IV, Algebra II, Shorthand II, Bookkeeping, Civics, Eco- nomics and Biology. The people of the community got acquainted with the new teachers on the evening of Septem- ber 11th, at the annual Teachers Reception. Olga Hess and Ingavald Strand, the cook and janitor, were presented with gifts in recognition of their years of service. Football season got underway with a large majority of the high school boys participat- ing. On the day of the first football game, Sep- tember 27th, the Freshmen received the traditional welcome into high school. The initiation ceremonies began early in the day as the freshmen came to school clothed in a variety of outrageous costumes. They were smeared with lipstick, given a shampoo minus the rinse, and forced to exhibit their tal- ents on the football field. At the initiation party which was held that evening, they were treated very royally. They were allowed to engage in all sorts of contests, such as rolling onions across the gym floor, dancing cheek to cheek in an effort to keep a peanut securely in place, and M kissing the good book. To top the evening off, they were allowed to eat such delicacies as rattlesnake meat, fried baby bees and chocolate covered ants. Homecoming activities were held on October 18th and 19th. The goal posts were decorated in red and white crepe paper for our opponents, Grass Range. The snake dance was held Friday night, the 18th, with a large crowd par- ticipating in the activities. Every- one was up early Saturday morning to prepare for the activities of the day and were disappointed because of rain. The decorations on the goal posts were faded, and the parade that was to be held before the game was cancelled. The rain let up during the game, so preparations were made to have the par- ade after the game. Winifred was victorious and overpowered the Rangers with a score of 39 to 18. The band and twirlers, led by the majorette, marched down main street ankle deep in mud. They were fol- lowed by the foot- ball team on a slightly weather- beaten float and the home- coming queen candidates, shivering with cold, riding in a convertible. Following the after- noon's activities, many of the girls hurried to the community hall where they finished decorating for the dance. A large crowd attended the dance which was highlighted by the crowning of the homecoming queen and king, who were Sharon Amtzen and Bill Olsen. Barbara Heller and Jack Heggem were chosen candi dates from the Freshmen Class, Mary Ann Tresch and Gene Thomp- son from the Sophomore Class, and James Scoville and Cathy Scoville were the remain- ing candidates. 55 Andy Anderson, Margaret Phillips, Nancy Thompson, and Sharon Amtzen traveled to Missoula on October 17th to attend the fall M. I. E. A. Convention. At this convention, they were given valuable tips concerning the publication of the Annual and Prairie Dog Chatter. They were accompanied by Mr. Comes, the Annual Advisor. The Junior Play, entitled Junior Prom was held on November 22nd and 23rd. The attendance was limited and the dance that was to follow on Saturday night was cancelled because of the assassination of President Kennedy. The word of the assassination was received about noon on the 22nd, and the students and faculty were stunned by the news. Radios were carried from class to class for the latest report, and deep sorrow was felt by all when the final news was received. Our school flag flew at half mast for thirty days in memory of this great man. Six senior girls and one junior girl participated in the Nurses Aptitude Tests given at Fergus County High School in Lewistown. The purpose of these tests was to find their inter- ests and aptitudes in the nursing field or interests in various related fields. The annual carnival, which is sponsored jointly by the school and Community Club, was held on November 1st and 2nd. Many of the students helped decorate the various booths and also worked during the car- nival. One of the high- lights of the carnival was the crowning of Patti Jo Foster as the Carnival Queen. She was crowned during the dance which was held after the carnival on Saturday night. Patti Jo was the senior can- didate and Shirley Carson was the junior candidate. Judee Smith represented the sophomore class and Judy Brewer was the candidate from the freshmen class. Parent-Teachers Conferences were held on November 26th. These conferences were held so the parents of the students at Winifred High and Grade School could come and discuss with the teachers the progress of their children. These con- ferences were started here a few years ago and have proven to be very success- ful. 56 Everyone was enthusiastic at the beginning of basketball season when a majority of the boys turned out to participate in basketball. The boys put forth a great deal of effort and spirit, and played good ball all season long. At the end of the season, the team was in 4th place in confer- ence standing and went into the tournament with determina- tion and high hopes. The Pep Club started the season with the memorization of various yells. The A squad and B squad cheer- leaders were elected in the fall before the football sea- son. A num- ber of the girls tried out for the elec- tion by per- form- ing various yells be fore the student body. Those elected to the positions did a fine job in reading the Pep Club and keeping up the school spirit, was installed for the Pep Club at the beginning of the year. This machine received much use. The Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomorrow Tests were given December 3rd, 1963. Ten senior girls took the test. Sharon Heggem rated the highest score on this test. She received a Homemaker of Tomorrow pin and her test was entered in competition for the State Home- maker of Tomorrow Scholarship. As the Christmas season neared, everyone in school joined in to make it a true season. The freshman class, with the help of a few faculty members, journeyed into the back woods to find a tree for the school house. When they brought it to the school, the sophomores were wait- ing to decorate it. While the sophomores were busying themselves with this task, the juniors were helping Santa A pop machine 57 sack candy to give to the children at the Grade School Christmas Program. This program was held on the 19th of December and was an operetta entitled On Christmas Hill. The band and high school choruf also performed at this program. The high school Christmas party was held in the afternoon of December 20th. The senior class played Santa Claus and distributed the gifts that were exchanged. A good time was had by both students and faculty. The annual Christmas Ball, sponsored by the Annual Staff, was held on December 21st at the Winifred Community Hall. The hall was decorated in the Christmas theme. Roger Reppe and Barbara Sparks, both juniors, were chosen as Snow Ball King and Queen. They were crowned by Margaret Phillips and Ronnie Wilcox, last year's king and queen. Jo Anne Peters and Bill Crow were the senior candi- dates. First semester exams were given on January 16th and 17th. Everyone with morning classes took their exams on the 16th and everyone with afternoon classes took their tests on the 17th. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they were over and the grades were in. On February 15th, Mr. Norman Heath, the Eng- lish teacher at Winifred High School, was killed in a tragic car accident. Everyone in the school and community was grief stricken by this incident, but at the same time, the task of finding a new English teacher had to be taken up also. Mr. John Corcoran of Great Falls, Mont., took over the English Department. Mrs. Jim Sawyer taught the commercial subjects until Mr. Knodel, who was injured in the accident, was once again able to teach. The District Nine basketball tournament was held on February 19th through the 22nd. Unfortunately, Winifred played only two games before they were out of the tournament. The Pep Club presented a drill in which they formed a W and gave several yells. A window display, consisting of pictures of the team, cheerleaders, and trophies, was placed in a store win- dow in Lewistown. The classes at Winifred High School held a class tournament the first week in March. After two play-offs for the cham- pionship, the juniors MR. JOHN CORCORAN came out victorious. The seniors were in sec- ond place and the sophomores came out in third place. The freshmen were in fourth place. Rusty Robinson from the eighth grade helped the seniors since they had only four boys in the class. The senior class presented their class play Grandma's Best Years on March 20th and 2lst. A large crowd at- tended, and the play was said to be a success by many. A dance followed the play on Saturday night and was held in the community hall. 58 Spring Parent-Teacher conferences were held on March 25 th. At this time the parents were given progress reports once again. Eight boys turned out for the beginning of track season. The boys com- peted in most of the track meets.
