What Gary Morgan didn’t tell you about that football team was that they turned into a very good team.  I  followed the progress of the team(via Turtle Mountain Star) and they and Rolla were both pretty good.  Gary was the Dunseith running back and Rolla also had a very good back.  Of course, the Rolla player got all the ink. Since I had worked with both Gary and Dick at the lumber yard I had to come watch the game when the two teams met.  Early in the game the two met whie Gary was carrying the ball and Gary ran right over him.  After that it was a rout.  I don’t remember the score but it was large in favor of Dunseith.  I bet Gary remembers the score.  At that time there was an intense Rolla-Dunseith rivalry( maybe still is) so that made it even better. Gary was too modest to tell you that they became a very good football team.

Gary & All,

Thinking back to my freshman and sophomore years in high school….we never had cars to cruise like you younger people.  Mostly, we would hang out in the bowling alley or wander down to the Crystal Cafe.  Some of the older guys might go to the pool hall.
Once in a great while, Donnie Hiatt would get his dad’s pickup.  He would pick up Jerry Williams and myself and sometimes Jimmie Footit and with the three or four of us jammed in the pickup, it would be off to Bottineau to pick up girls.  Those Bottineau girls were really a bunch of snobs.  There might be three or four of them walking down the sidewalk and we would pull over to the curb and throw them the only pick up line we knew..”Do ya want a ride?”.  They never did and only once did one actually flee, but that was probably because she was alone.  It could be thirty below and they still wouldn’t get in.
Looking back now, I can’t help but wonder if the stock rack with the cow crap up and down the sides might not have been a disadvantage.  I think it may have somehow intimidated them.
