THE BANQUET
by Connie Berger
$2 Annual Subscription
Last Friday about 5:30 p.m.
excited 8th grade students began
arriving at the school for thier
graduation banquet. Everyone was
radiantly dressed in his best from
the boys’ sleek suits to the girls’
frills and ruffles.
The 7th graders had done some
very effective decoration with
class colors of coral and gold.
The air was filled with excite
ment as we ate the meals prepar
ed by our cafeteria cooks and serv
ed by 8th and 7th grade waitres
ses.
After the wonderful meal, top
ped by a strawberry sundae, the
program began, which consisted
of the reading of the class history,
will, and prophecy. The program
was light and gay, but ended on
a quieter, melancholy note as we
realized our grade school days
will soon be only warm, lasting
memories.

I oters I ht Think!
Residents of the city of Sandy came
through with flying colors in the last civ
ic election on May 15. Water meters and
fire consolidation were passed by large
majorities.
All of which proves that American vot
ers, presented with a problem that has
been adequately explained, generally do
the right thing.
Communication, in this case as in
many others, was the stumbling block.
When the water meter and fire district
consolidation situations were presented
in an understandable manner, the public
reacted intelligently.
When measures are placed before the
public in legal gobble-de-gook, a good
many of us vote ‘against’ when we meant
to vote ‘for.’
In this election Sandy has made two
great leaps forward. It has established an
equitable manner of distributing water
and it has advanced its fire protection fa
cilities at minimum expense to the tax
payer.
Mayor Mike Paluck has been instru
mental in fostering both of these ad
vancements. He is to be congratulated on
the success of this vote. Sometimes his is
a thankless job this trying to make peo
ple vote to save their own money.
He has worked tirelessly with the able
and constant assistance of city clerk and
the council to get these measures ap
proved by the people.
The Post sincerely hopes that Mike
will be with us for a long time in his
present administrative capacity.

Now that spring’s in full swing, you’ll find
new Chevrolets perfect for picking.
Luxury—First, there’s the big Jet-smooth
Chevrolet. Sumptuous and soft riding. Over
700 sound stoppers throughout the car to
blot out noise. Interiors luxuriously done
up in the newest and softest vinyls.
Trade what you’re driving for one of
these, and you won’t want to trade seats
with anybody else on the road.
Spirit—Next, Chevelle. The beautifully
in-between size car that combines small
car handling oomph with big car comfort.
Eleven different models that you can
-quip with just about any extra-cost
option you can imagine. No place to
go this summer? Get a new Chevelle—
you’ll think of something.
Economy—Chevy II—the car that
takes to inexpensive vacations natu
rally. It just goes and goes, and where
it stops nobody knows. Eight models
to pick from, including wagons with
enough room to swallow up an eight-
foot Christmas tree. (Plan ahead, we
always say.)
Fun—Then there’s Corvair. The fun
one with the engine in the rear for
unbelievable traction. Spring mud,
summer sand, winter snow—nothing
stops it.
Corvette. The enthusiast's car.
