YOU HAVE AN UNIQUE HERITAGE . . . Mr. lesse G. Ragsdale has been principal of Billings Senior highschool since l945. Comments Principal Bagsdale: To every generation comes the task of appraising the realities of life as they unfold before tne approach of adulthood. You have been made insecure by the necessity of confronting abruptly a divided and belligerent world. This isn't something new but it is strange to you who are emerging from the protective influences of home and school. You have the heritage of western civilization and our own standard of values which make the United States of America unique among nations. This heritage can not be used unless we understand and appreciate it, Even these are not enough. We must cultivate it and act upon it. There is so much falsehood in the world and so much dis- honesty in our own society that all highschool youth who have a sense of values and a feeling of moral direction have the greatest challenge that has ever confronted a new generation. It is a challenge to understanding, to courage, to kindness and to the best in democratic character. What you do and the lead- ership you develop in the next fifty years could well be the most significant contribution of all time. I sincerely believe that you, in this school, are chal- lenged to take the lead. jhe .Helping .Hands of Our Student 'Body Our dean of girls, Miss Gertrude Whipple, taught geometry until she took her MA degree in guidance and personnel work and became dean in 1947. Miss Whipple has charge of girls' attendance, iob recommendations personnel reports to accompany college entrance applications, housing, report cards and nurse services Through the telephone in her office have passed countless incoming and outgoing calls making it one of the busiest in the school. Miss Whipple is sure she has the most satisfying work in the most interesting highschool and says l am proud of the way BHS students learn to meet situations and to get along with people l, To Mr. Earl C. Collins falls the double duty A- of being dean of boys and vice principal of the - school. ,, Mr. Collins has been vice principal since 1948. Besides having charge of all the boys and helping to keep the school running smoothly, Mr. Collins is sponsor of Yellowstone Key club. States Mr. Collins, l am proud of the many boys who are 'self-startersf My admiration for them grows as I see them become active in projects and activities which require fine ideals and persistent effort.
