Senior Class Prophecy In 1969 when I conducted a campaign tour for my present office as Governor of Montana, I had the pleasure of seeing my classmates of Winifred High School, Class of 1952, in their various communities. Whei. 1 stepped from the platform of my train at Butte, I was greeted by Glenn Rydeen who i.s now the President of the Anaconda Copper Mining Co. Glenn told me that he achieved this high position by remaining single and industrious. After I made my Butte stop, I again ran into an old classmate of mine who was engaged in a most unusual occupation. This classmate was Betty Arthur who is the nation's only woman railroad engineer. Betty had been engaged as the engineer on my train because she had voiced her opposition to my election and her employer, Ted Sawyer, who is the head of the Great Northern Railroad Company and my campaign manager, thought it would be a joke on Betty to be running the train that might aid me to gain the Governor's seat. The next stop on my tour was Great Falls, where I was greeted by Mrs. Archibald Brinker- snapper in, who was the former Bertha Simac. Bertha was accompanied by a group of women who represented the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Dumb Animals. They with their President, Bertha, had come to ask my stand on the position of homeless dogs and cats. On route to Billings from Great Falls my train was boarded by Miss Delores Dranky, a very eminent reporter for the Gazette. Delores had been assigned the task of reporting my tour and remained with me throughout the trip. She had been selected for the Pulitzer Prize in 1967. On our arrival in Billings I was invited to the home of Garde Peterson who had gained a fortune by raising a new strain of jackrabbits to compete with Ted Thompson of Winifred who had captured the slaughtering market by raising a better type of meat producing steer. Garde and Mrs. Peterson had planned to show us the sights of Billings at night, but were unable to engage a baby sitter for their eleven children. However, Delores and I went to the floor show at the Star Light Roof. Much to our amazement and pleasure, we discovered Miss Venus de la Fleur, who in 1952 before her debut on Broadway was Miss Doris Waits. Doris had become a famous torch singer and had currently played in the 20th Century Fox production of Strawberry Creek. Before returning to Helena, I stopped at Miles City to see Eva Ruth Moody who had become the leader of a political movement to unseat my opponent from the Governor's chair. With- out her support I could not have attained my present post. Eva had moved to Miles City to take over the Industrial School which had proved to be a headache to so many in years past. Signed, Sam Econom Governor of Montana
