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?

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.
