Hi Gary.. I , Lorraine Richard, at that time in my life..attented my jr. and senior year in Dunsieith.. My classmates were Dorthy, Darrell and those great folks. Thanks.. Wayne and I are now Mesa AZ residents..but head back to the Tutle Mts. every once in a while, as that is where I was raised, and our grandson Bryan Schweitzer, is owner of State Farm Agency in Bottineau.

Folks, Thanks to Darrel and Dorothy Fassett for referring Lorraine (Wayne) Richard Nelson to us. I just sent Lorraine the Richard Matrix that I put together asking her where she fits into the Richard family.
Thanks for this reply Lorraine. We are excited to hear more from you. Gary
The Dunseith School Song:
From Bonnie Awalt Houle (56): Becker, MN
Good Morning Gary,
In answer to Kenny Nerpel:
Dunseith School Song
Hurrah for Dunseith High School we’re out to win,
You may have beat us once before but you won’t do that again. Rah, Rah, Rah,
Hurrah for Dunseith High School we’re out to fight
The Boy’s that are going to win tonight are the Boy’s in the Blue and White.
Rah, Rah, Rah, (actually 15 Rahs)
The Girl’s Basketball Team had no cheerleaders and we had no other female teams so I guess no one was bothered by the phrase (The Boy’s that are going to win tonight are the Boy’s in the Blue and White.) Today that would be a BIG ISSUE!
Our song was sung to the same tune as the one used by Belcourt. In one Tournament game both the Belcourt Cheerleaders and the Dunseith Cheerleaders were out on the floor at the same time doing their different songs. Neither group backed down and we both finished together.

The Dunseith School Song:
From Dick Johnson (68): Dunseith, ND.
Gary,
This is the banter between Lola and me about the school song. She remembers it well!
Dick
Gary and Friends,
Kenny Nerpel asked about the Dunseith School Song. It’s ‘Our
Director’ but I can only remember part of the words. It starts out —
“Hurrah for Dunseith High School” and ends with “the boys that are going
to win tonight are the boys in the blue and white.” I think I have that
much right, but our many cheerleaders should be able to cover for me on
this one! Thanks Gary!
Dick
Dick’s message to Lola Metcalfe Vanorny (68):
Lola,
Hey there cheerleader, do I have this right? There are more words
that I remember but not how they fit together. Maybe you could send the
words to Gary if you remember. Thanks.
Dick
Lola’s Reply:
Oh Brother a blank but this is what comes to mind– seems kind of screwy though
Hurrah for Dunseith High school
We’re out to win
You may have beat us once before
But you won’t do that again-rahrahrah!-
Hurrah for Dunseith High School
We’re out to fight
For the boys that are going to win tonight
Are the boys in the Blue and White—
or something like that!__ HA!!

Gary,
Has this grad been included in your newsletters? She graduated in 1971. I checked with Karen Larson, a Bottineau High School member of the Class of ’71–she didn’t recognize this grad.
Neola
Neola, I think this girl was identified as being from Dunseith. Without a name, I’m not sure.
Folks, do any of you recognize this gal? Gary
