Mount Star was located north and east of Sexsmith and held classes from 1917-1955 and Morningview was located south and east of Sexsmith and started classes in 1918 and ceased to operate in 1954. The reunion committee consisted of Olive Mc Intosh, Anne Slater, Bert and Sylvia Chrenek, Pete and Matt Chrenek, Mary Vavrek, and Florence Lawrence.
