Fife High School Alumni TO Mark
Twenty-Fi Anniversary
Miss Betty CaIert Is General Chairman For Affair
Scheduled for Dec. II; Dance TO Follow Banquet

president Of the alumni association,
as general chairman.
A highly interesting program is
being arranged by Dorothy Thor
son. "a. who is in charge of this
feature of the celebration. Joe
Vraves. chairman of the publicity
committee. has engaged Henry
Hofto's swing band to play for the
dance.
Dinner will be prepared by Don
aid l.. kruzner, who is a member
of the faculty and enjoys the repu-
tation of being an excellent chef.
Fife high school graduated its
first class in 1916. Two students
received diplomas at that time.
Both were girls. one being Mrs.
Sarah Garman Telling, who is
resident of the community and has
the distinctive honor of being the
first mother to have son gradu-
ate from her alma mater; and the
other is Helen Peterson Paine, who
is the wife of the Tacoma post
office cashier. Mrs. Telling and
Mrs. Paine have announced their
intention of attending the celebra-
ton.
A splendid response has been
received from numerous alumni
and many are coming long dis
tances for the event Prominent
graduates who are in the north
country are Joseph, Frank and
John tPetel Mello. All three left
an indelible mark in the history of
Fife high school athletics. They
are now working in their fathers
gold mine in Chandalaar, Alaska.
At the banquet this year brief
memorial service will be given for
those who were at one time con-
nected with Fife high but who
have passed on. Records show
there are 10 members of the
alumni association who have de-
parted and II is with deep regret
that the groups first president,
Clarence Peterson. who passed
away this year, is among them.
The committee in charge of the
banquet is pleased with the help
the school administrative staff is
offering in making the Silver An
niversary an event that will long
remain in the memories of alumni
members. The Trojanettes will
assist the banquet committee.

CHAPTER SEVEN

Cam and Frank were only three
tables away from the platform, so
Cam had a good chance to size
Ruby up as she sang her song.
Even at that distance, her face
seemed hard although she had
been liberal in applying makeup.
Cam examined her critically and
decided that once she had been
beautiful, for there was still
traces of beauty in her face. If he
hadn't had the misfortune to fall
in love with Joe Raymond, she
probably still would have been
frequented by society people and
the Hollywood crowd.
Her voice. too. showed the effect
of her surrou dings. 1t was
husky and not always true, but
it seemed to satisfy the crowd that
patronized the Ceylon Inn.
They applauded wildly when she
finished her number, and then
flocked to the small cleared space
in the center of the room as the
band plunged headlong into its
version Of a rhumba.
Hesitates
Ruby was making her way be-
tween the tables, when she caught
Franks signal. stopped for a mo-
ment in hesitation. and then came
toward them.

Joe. Heard from him since he
made his break from the train ."
u suppose you expect me TO say
sure-I know right where he is"
Ruby's eyes narrowed.
AS a matter of fact, 7 haven't
seen nor heard from him. The
cops seem to think I do know
something. They're been around
here half a dozen times, trying TO
pry something out of me But IL
you don't know anything you
can't very well blab. even if YOU
would. Maybe I'm talking too
much as il is"
She glanced significantly at
Cam.
Miss Denton was on the same
tfain with Joe-the same car,
Ruby. She saw him escape"
Ruby seemed much more inter-
ested in the quietly dressed girl
across the table. and leaned for
ward.

An oil operator who took the
leisure hours of a holiday to check
up on the work of his geologist is
today credited with the discovery
of a structure, which biologists APP
parently have overlooked. Is is said
to be a fully enclosed fold located
in the area between the forks of
Two Medicine Creek and the Ma
rias river, south of Cut Bank oil
fields, and was worked out by R..
c. Tarrant, Cut Bank producer.
Tarrant has spotted a well in
this area which was formerly I'M
der lease to the large companies
of Cut Bank. They dropped most of
their leases following the drilling
of five dry holes in the area, north
of Waller. The United States Geolo-
gical Survey map of South Cut Bank
showed a nose" making a peculiar
wave in the 3300-foot contour, and
Tarrant assigned his BIOLOGISTS to
study the district. They found a

Hydrochloric acid did its part in
clinching a development program
in Kelvin field this week, when S.
F. Lally and associates of Califor-
MIA revived a small stripper well
on their newly purchased Davis
lease in the north half of Section
31-35-3W. on the southeast edge
of the Rimrock pool. The well was
treated on Monday and by IL
o'clock Tuesday it had returned the
oil used in treating and at last
reports was still making 2 y bar

Lally came to Kelvin field to
observe the results OF acidization
