VICE-PRINCIPAL Ants and elephants have one thing in common. They don ' t worry about UNEM- PLOYMENT! In some ways, animals are smarter than human beings. Each one has a job to do and there aren ' t any round pegs in square holes. Ants and elephants spend their entire lives at the serious business of being ants and elephants. But human beings are different. Though ants don ' t try to be elephants, we have all manner of good tree surgeons, min- ing engineers, and foresters, trying to be bookkeepers and grocery clerks, or statisti- cians being sales ladies. The elephant doesn ' t spend time worry- ing about opportunities to be an ant. He re- members that in some respects, at least, he is an A grade pachyderm. Mr. Ant may not be the handsomest one in the ant hill, but if he rates A plus in industry, responsi- bility and tunnel construction, and his ant-ics friends and influence anteaters, he ' ll always have a job. Everybody grades A in something. Seek out your A qualities and use them! DEAN OF WOMEN The pupils in the Great Falls High Schocl are afforded a very fine opportunity to de- velop along many lines. Extensive courses in both curricular and extra-curricular activ- ities are open to all. Inventory interest tests show special vocational interests. Pupil participation in school government gives op- portunity for character and citizenship de- velopment by preparing for life in a democ- racy by having lived in a democracy. MAYME MURCHIE.

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Webster defines energy as being the power of doing work. Dr. Arnold said that The difference between one boy and another is not so much talent as energy. And that is greatly true of men. Some of the brightest men that I have ever met were without energy, though deep thinkers, moral philosophers, and men of good character. Like a ship upon the sea without a rudder, they never reached any port. It was energy that made Edison the greatest inventor the world has known. For years he worked sixteen to eighteen hours a day. He was once asked if his success was not due to inspiration, to which he re- plied, No, perspiration. When your fathers were your age they were told that sometime we would be talking through the air across the Atlantic and the Pacific. What a ridiculous idea — yet Marconi ' s and De Forest ' s energy have made it possible to do that very thing. A battle in any part of the world is hardly lost or won before it is known the world over. A signal of distress is flashed from a ship and in a very short time assistance is at hand. Thousands are saved — all as a result of the energy expended by an Italian and an American. To produce such a fine yearbook it has taken a great deal of energy and courage. This book has character and reflects yours. Congratulations to the ROUNDUP STAFF of 1940! May it be an Ail-American! A. G. JAHR. [ 19]
