[XD[7 o o o Five out of seven days of the week (except holidays, of course) students are confined to the layered, red brick walls of CMR. If one were to think about it — CtvIR is a lot more than 1, 300,000 red bricks! Charles M. Russell High School is a monument to a great Montanan who through his work, discipline, and study made his mark upon the people of this region. His example can be a worthy one for high school agents on a top secret mission of tomorrow to follow. Charles Marion Russell was born March 19, 1864, in St. Louis, Missouri. He moved to Montana at the age of 16 to become a cowboy. As an artist he had a natural talent which he steadily developed by portraying for the amusement of his friends the scenes of cattle camps, Indians and other frontier life around him. As the years passed, painting became the principle purpose of his life. He died on Oct. 24, 1926, in Great Falls, Montana. CMR was built in 1965, making it 17 years old. It sits on 35 acres of land and took two years, three months to complete. The total cost fof the school came to be $3,649,371.94. CMR is a campus-type building. It is designed to hold 2,000 students and has 63 classrooms. The main academic structure houses not only the individual classrooms but the administrative areas, the library, and the cafeteria as well. Bill Williamson Hall, the auditorium-music building, is immediately opposite the main entrance to the central building. The auditorium seats nearly 800 and is surrounded by music rooms on both sides. Bill Williamson Hall was named to commemorate an outstanding music teacher at Great Falls High School, who was tragically killed in an automobile accident at the time CMR was being built. It only seemed fitting to name the new music wing after such a fine resident in our community. One of the most impressive parts of CMR is the gymnasium where one can get the full effect of the domed steel roof. CMR ' s gym can hold 2,000 and with the additional seating it will hold up to 5,000 people. In the gymnasium one can find the giant Rustler statue sculptured by Bob Scriver. CMR ' s rugs, which hang on the gym walls in reminder of past State Championships, are made by William Sandaker. Off from the main office, lies the industrial arts complex. Woodworking, power mechanics, drafting, electronics, and metal working are done daily in this center. A custom that has been carried out for many years is the roped off skulls found at each end of the commons. It is tradition for those who dare to step on these sacred skulls to receive the consequences at a pep assembly. The enrollment number has increased to 1,630 this year as compared to the enrollment number of 1,300 in 1965. Rustlers exhibit the proud colors of CMR by wearing green and gold T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, or their uniform to school functions. 2-lntrocluction
