Mr. Cox taught t the band our school song, The Sandy Rouser, which we . used to good advantage at these games. Also, before each j game a parade was nade down town which attracted many people to the games. A concert was held before the carnival program which ! turned out to be a success. Also, that night the band 1 sponsored a jute box with different members of the band furnishing the music. A fish pond also helped to further j the band's treasury fund. The band performed many times for the Chamber of 1 Commerce. After one of these performance s; the band members I were invited to a banquet served by the Rome Ec. II class.

Havre Festival, held in Havre on Kay 10 and the program I given on Memorial Day were the high lights of the band j activities for the year. PIONEER CLUB 1946-47 President..............................Tom Sanford Vice-president.................... • ■ • Lindy Ray Secretary-Treasurer....................Harold Lund One of the newer organizations of the school and one of the busiest is the Pioneer Club. The club is composed of lettermen who have earned letters in basketball and football It is under the direction of Mr. Schwartz. For the pest two years,the club has conducted an intra- mural basketball league. This league offers experience to talented boys who were not able to make the team. The Pioneer Club held an interclass track meet last spring and hopes to hold another this year. This might seem like a lot of work and no play but the lettermen have their fun too. Members of the club were guests at the Athletic Banquet given in their honor by the sophomore class and were also guests of honor at a banquet in Havre given by the Elks Club. They made two trips to Great Falls to see some of the sport features of the year. On the first trip the Pioneers saw Montana State vs. Portland U. in a football game. At the close of the basketball season,they journeyed to Great Falls for the State Class A Basketball Tournament.

The pro-ram was ended by the singing of ;!In an Old Dutch Garden- and -It's Tulip Time in Holland- by Dorothy Henderson and Betty Collins. Mrs. Green accompanied them on the piano. At nine o'clock dancing began. Music was furnished by the Melody lien from Stanford.' The hall was attractively decorated with picket fences, tulips, Dutch girls and boys, a moonlight sky, and many other things pertaining to Holland. During the evening coke was served by four Dutch waitresses at tables in different corners of the hall. This vxas the first time that this has been done for many years, and it proved very successful. At eleven o'clock the Juniors and Seniors had their grand march. The theme song i!Jh an Old Dutch Garden”, was again played by Mrs. Green, Bdith Moore and Jim Sanford were crowiaed as King and Queen by Karen Collins and Happy Henderson, who were dressed as a dutch girl and boy, A refershirg lunch was served at midnight by ochbers of the Junior Class, The ross proceeds realised from the prom amounted to 6190.19. The wishing well received $.11.09 Which was donated to the cancer drive. bn September 7, 1943 thirty-eight members entered the doors of Big Sandy High School as freshmen.lt was just three weeks later on September 22, that the seniors acknowledged them as freshmen by initiation. Those paddles, crazy cos- tumes, and limburger cheese -will long be remembered by the following: Grace Allderdice, Richard Archibald,Joe Balazic, Leona Belschner, Fred Bitz, Beatrice Buchholz, Bernice Buch- holz, Mery Butler, Frances Chaffee, LaVerne Crofoot, Dorothy Edwards, Frances Eve, Leo Faber,-Dora Goecks, Joyce Hagen,- Lillian Littlefield, Bernard Lund, Lois Lund, Jack Bramlette, Joan Englund, Glenn Maxwell, Shirley Misfeldt, Edith Moore, [Edna Olson, Jeanine Ophus, Elmer Rada, Marie Raines, Georgie I Reichelt; Tom Sanford, Jim Sanford, Alice Shurtliff, Glenn jSkaalure, Florence Tingley, Ruth Vestal, Arthur Weaver, Earl i Weaver, John Whetham, James Cody. After initiation, we were I no longer considered as children; so had to settle down and ; study. Our events for the year were soon concluded with a ; return party for the good and faithful seniors of 1943. As sophomores, our duties were limited to giving the jathletic banquet. We regret to say our class was decreased I by four. Jack Bramlette moved to Washington; Joan Englund I moved to Californio; Marie Rain's got married; and Florence ! Tingley moved to Washington. We now recall our junior year. It hardly seems possible j: we are here so soon. We started practice on the play, The ; Girls Take Over, very early in the year. After the play 1 came the prom and banquet which was held on May 4, 1946. The ; jtheme chosen by the juniors was May featuring a large May j I j pole and canopy in the canter of the floor. By this time we ■had lost four more members. Earl and Arthur Weaver quit i school to work at home; Jeanine Ophus went into -the Senior Class; and Tom Sanford joined the Navy. However, .-Florence ' Tingley came back and joined us once more. At last our senior yecr arrived. We initiated the ; !freshmen early so that they could feel they were rightfully ipart of our school. After Christmas the chosen play cast 1'began practicing Find the Woman which was presented to the I|public on February 15, 1947. Then came the long awaited i:sneak day. Early in the morning on February 27 we set out ; I for the state capitol in Helena to visit the legislature in session.The next big event for the year was the Junior-Senior ; banquet and prom which was held Saturday evening, April 26. The theme chosen for the occasion was Holland. The follow- ing day the weary but energetic juniors and seniors went on ! a picnic to Fresno Dam. By this time the senior class has been-increased-by the presence of Donald Brady, Dorothy Pet- j rock, Leo Gist, and Tom Sanford. John Whetham went into ! the Army. j Baccaleurate Services were held May 11.Class Night was 1 May 13 «nd Commencement Services were May 15. CLASS PROPHECY ...

All of a sudden our this then was , Glenn Skaalure, yelled, ”HeyJ Stop you fools, Lillian and Florence started shaking. There was terrific atomic bomb explosion. Boom-Boom-Rumble-Boom. By this time the graduation audience had assembled out- side to see what this -terrific noise was. As they stood there horror stricken, thrity-four little b'eams of light flashed above the school bouse. They assembled in the heavens in the shape of 19L7. as the eyes of t :e spectators fell back toward the earth, low and behold, there was no school house! To everyone school house formed the planned school building. we are up in in s amazement the bricks of the old oerioct foundation of the newly Here earth can see us, but tne the blue.

A year we rest and minds comes the thought of ourselves and what happened to us one -ear ago. The first thing to enter our minds is to get the cans How to do .’inally hr. .Schwartz relieves together: ■ bursts the ;e then drop them as air, a streak of id gowns back to the class of LS this we do not exactly know. our winds y assembling them a might clash of thunder lightening seems to strike the auditorium. And as we sit up here we can s-e the class of happily picking up their caps and --owns, Tith the cans nd gowns was this message. •'Don’t forget, we’ll see you in nine years. Just in case -rou want to know what we’re doing up here, vre’re enjoying ourselves, any of us have studied dramatics, opera, • financ- iering, diplomacy, medicine, law, helicoptry,' music, love, and just all fields and professions of success. ’ In 1957 the people of Big’ Sandy are watching their good ij'old 19 7 stars. They call the stars the wise ones because o:f the fine advice they have sent down from tine to tine from their places in the Heavens—Look! What’s that? It's a star, a shooting star, it’s Faber-Leo Faber. He’s landing ::vts, he enters the metropolis of Big Sandy, which now .stretches from Havre to Fort Benton. Leo has for some timo ■ been watching a vacancy at Black’s Jewelry. He walks into :■ the shop and is so pleased with the little establishment he :: decided to purchase it with stardust . How Leo has been in his big time business for about ten •years, and as he is doing well, hL decides to buy himself one of the newest types of home helicopters. Not being ■ acquainted with the1 newest types, he soon decides to ask :: advice fr� m the president of the company. Going to the [ president's office, he is suddenly struck with wonder and ;[jsurnrisc when he is ushered into the office by that slick kchick, Alice Shurtliff, ’’still in red who ih now n super :[[ selesmanager. To his further surpise whom should he see :[■seated at the President's desk, but Glenn Skasluro. ’•‘.'hen inquiring from Glenn when he arrives, Ginn briefly said, I followed you. And - few of the other stars were ':ready to follow when I left. They were all speaking of ;. it and the-y should be pretty much settled here on' arth after [[[ these ten years. Oh yes, Leo, Grzce Allderdice is here. I ;:;saw her the other day. She is over on the east side of town running a beauty salon, ’ hile I was there, her girl-f au, Dorothy Ldwerds, had also stopped to see her for a .few minutes. She’s now photographer and social editor for the •[[Mountaineer. 1 had dinner with the patrolmen, Don Brtdy pnd Joe Balazic, at Dotti Petrock's Brown Derey last week, ;:Don and Joe told of an interesting experience the other day whon they had to pinch LeVerne Crofoot who is one of the ■leading socialites and who is seen quite regularly in the downtown Big Sandy society circles. Corky was driving her ;:jairplane automobile when she landed on the wrong roof [knocking Mary Butler Rowe's chimney off her spacious hacienda imported from Spain. Quite an argument osued, and Joe and 'Don were forced to take the girls down to' our judge, Glenn [[[Maxwell, who is now on the supreme court since our State [•[[Capitol has been moved to Big Sandy, Glenn fined Corky kfifty dollars in stardust , and Mery and Corky are again the best of friends. Oh say, Glenn, when we all can let's plan to have a [.reunion of the class of 47 As you know our class has [[[always be eh very unusual, but come t o think of it, I did [[;Oome here for helicopter advice Any ne-w plenes out? I [[■really need a neat on , to keep up with my business� I have just your line Leo, got a 67 home helioop out gin front, would you be interested in the model? Let's look at it, Glenn. The two walk out to the :[,front of the company and whom do they see but Beatrice and ['.Bernice Buchhilz, the twins, who are now art sculptors at ■[[Johnny’s Bakery. Te find them talking about the reunion [Which they set far June 1. Leo purchased the home helicAptef — and offered Beatrice and Bernice a ride home in it. They all . decided it’s very modern and say good-bye. The news of the reunion spread very swiftly. Soon many old classmates,whom we know, can be found on the street. It is in Square Garden in Big Sandy where we find the Sanford Brothers. They are in big time sports playing with the Globetrotters in the winter, and the Dodger Yanks in the spring. In the summer they thrill their fans by joining Cramer’s rodeo. Jimmy took second last year in the saddle -:bronc and is runner up for first this year. Tom is still trying to bulldog cows but makes a better Brahma bull rider. ’Mien asked if they had that professional feeling, Tom and Jim readily said, ’’what feeling?” We had to stop with them a few minutes though as they were bound to tell us the news. ’’Guess who” started Tom ”we saw yesterday”, added Jim. Sure we all knew it—Freddy was here. The boys go on to tell us how much Freddy is interested in his big mechanical farm where he raises ’’sugar bitz’, and if you know Frcddy-he -likes it. We also noticed that Fred is interested in politics and has turned democratic and is running for dog ;i catcher. Fred lives next to Bernard Lund who also is a farmer. Most of his time is spent Burbank fashion grafting i'grain, trying to get a drought proof wheat. He tells us : that his sister, Lois Lund, is now a missionary in Antartica -and that she will arrive by transworld plane for the reunion. •To the west of Freddy lives the Littlefields. Yes, you guessed it, Frances and Bob were married. Their house is :modern with a picket fence of lace. They are kept busy on their ranch running cattle with their forming. As they were ■very happy in school, we now find their homelife one of -.harmony with many little fields” surrounding them. Coming on our way bfck to town, whom do we see but Richard Archibald. He soon tells us that he owns the dir- port here in Sandy. He also adds that the other day he saw ■ :e nurse step out of a Cyclone 60 plene and there on the ..field before him stood Frances Chsffee, a registered nurse ' land Joyce Hagen, the stewardess. They had dinner together -and spoke of the reunion. Richard also states he thinksthe girls are very happy with their work and have proved very efficient. Going on into the main part of our city we stop iat the post-office, and the employee who assists us is none ..other than Leona Belschner. She also assists our county sheriff, Elmer Rada, in private detective work. We decided to take in a movie. Shirley Misfeldt ushered us in. Shells now theater manager of the Grand Opera house here in Sandy. Shirley is one of the three girls managing :Big Time Theaters in the west. Her assistant,Dora Geocks, '•besides being a great asset to Shirley as an executive is a .lovely dancer, welcomed in European and Asiatic,as well ns •..American Theaters. Their life long pal,Georgie May Reichelt, ;;'a play-wright has presented play after play upon the stage jlof the Grand. A modern Shakespeare, Poe, Ibsen, Shaw rate jijno higher than Gcorgie May.Her works are not only nationally ::famous, but internationally.- A great help to her has been j-jstage production manager, Edith Moore, whose stege setting i1' color schemes, end ability to select characters to play their parts is known the wide world over. During the show on the screen was flashed 1947’' class reunion June 1, 1967, meets at Big Sandy Central School. It is now June 1 and one may see ”47’’ seniors awaiting the time to gather at Central School. As they gather we ■find three classmtes, Edna Olson, Ruth Vestal, and Leo Diet absent from our reunion. Deciding not to wait any longer, we all leave for the school. Upon our arrival at the new school, we ere thrilled to see the beautiful structure of :architecture of the building and we are once again reminded of our graduation night when its foundation was formed. ’.Ye are met with surprise at the door by Superintendent of Schools, Leo Gist. Leo looks like a typical super intendent with his graying touches and his spectacles which give him a look of wisdom. He suggests that we all meet in Ruth Vestals ;room. Ruth is now doctor of psychology. In her room we find County Superintendent of Schools, Edna Olson, and Ruth ;preparing coffee and cake for the reunion. 'Each one relates what he has been doing the past ten years, since they fell from their position of great learning up in the stars. Has anyone seen Coach Schwartz?” asked Superintendent :Gist. He should have read the sign by this time, but he is pretty busy with his mountain distilling of coke that he ;does on the side. Have the rest of you seen the sign on the chem.i stry - room-door. ”',Vhy, no , everyone exclaims, Let s all go up and look before we eat. ‘They climb with the same old exuberance , wel] practically, and to their surprise whom do they find standing- waiting -at the chemistry room door but Coach Schwartz, Lillian, '’nd Florence. We might have been wondering what they were doing there. But with a couple of Crock-pot chemists that had been doing reserrch in atomic energy wo knew they would expect the meeting to take place only in the chemistry room. Of course they had dragged Coach along with them insisting the meeting would be there. Coach looked at the 47 seniors with pride and with a gesture pointing to the chemistry room door in his same old manner drawled out the tribute paid to his class, In memory of the cless of 1947. . THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF 1947 I We, the Senior Class of 1947, of Big Sandy Public Schools, District Number 11, township of Big Sandy, County of Chouteau, state of Montana, having completed four won- derful years of toil and nonsense, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament.

Still we’d like to leave our name, In the high school hall of fame; To be remembered by our pals, All the guys and all the gals. Our high school days have been, such - -ut We hate to think of them as done: But we must make our way outside, Into the world, so big and vide. The time has come to bid adieu, To all our friends and teachers, too- Of whom fond memories cone back, To make a mark and leave a track. Now our hist’ry we will tell, Upon each past event we’ll dwell; And try to tell of them to you, From the start until ve’re through. We started out in forty-three, (How long ago it seems, ah me We made our wav through initiation, And struggled on -with high amtjiuion — As sophomores wise (and foolish,,too) We started forty-four oat now; The Athletic Banquet and parties galore, We took in our stride as ever before. Juniors now we gladly became, Determined to make ourselves a name; The Prom was ours; we did it up righ Our glory then was at its height. ( t At last it came, our senior year, We faced the challenge without fear; Tsgffhe freshies we initiated, - Wril their poor hearts palpitated. But now our journey's end has come, With life's great voyage just begun; We face the future with steady hand, We'll prepare to make our stand. Upon the sea of life we launch, With hopeful hearts and spirit fie With eyes of trust and head held 1 For on the future we rely. The juniors now will take oi We hope that they can match And so our reign has ended h In a most triumphant year.
