C 3CHINOOK 1966 WESTERN MONTANA COLLEGE DILLON, MONTANA Published by The Junior Class Volume Fifty-eight II Administration and Activities Faculty pp. 19-50 pp. 7-18 Organizations pp. 51-86 1 Expanding Horizons At one time or another, all college students will ask the questions, "What am I doing here? Where am I going? What is my purpose? Is college supposed to be four years of social life? What is a college education?” We all know that college is supposed to be our preparation for the world outside. Campus social life should help to make us well-rounded citizens—but why? In the following pages, we shall illustrate, by example, what Western Montana College has done for others, and what it can do for you. What you make of this opportunity is up to you. You must expand your own horizons.Sports Classes Familiar Faces and pp. 87-10-1 pp. 105-168 Well-Known Places pp. 169-181Dedication MISS GEORGIA MATHEWS Miss Georgia Mathews, Dean of Women at Western Montana College for many years, ended a long and dedicated career with her retirement this year. As Dean of Women, Miss Mathews gave generously of her time and effort to provide a home away-from-homc for the women of the Residence Hall. Students and alumni will always remember Miss Mathews for her interest and helpful advice during their college years. We, the Chinook Staff, respectfully and gratefully dedicate the 1966 yearbook to Miss Georgia Mathews. I am a part of all that 1 have met. 4 TENNYSONIn Memoriam We, the Chinook Staff of 1966, dedicate this page to the memory of a friend and fellow student, Johnny Quick, who lost his life in an automobile accident during the winter of 1966. He was the son of Mr. Boyd Quick of Dillon and had attended Beaverhead High School before entering Western Montana College in the fall of 1965. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence comcth my help. My help comcth from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved; He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall presene thee from all evil: He shall preserve thy soul. The Lord shall presene thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 5 PSALM 121The College Song Music by Ralph McFadden Words by Vivian Robe "WESTERN COLLEGE, HERE'S TO YOU" Thy towers stretching upward Guide us on our way: Thy green lawns rolling outward Hold us throughout the day. Each memory brings a thrill Of golden days upon the hill, Of Montana's fairest valley, Where our hearts must always rally. Western College, here’s to you, For to you we’ll all be true. Though we’re far away at work or play We shall keep our colors flying still for you. So onward through the years we go, And no one dares to tell us no. For we’re bringing to fame, that dear old name— Western College, here’s to you.Faculty and AdministrationPRESIDENT JAMES E. SHORT President’s Message It is a privilege to be a part of this 1966 Chinook. Within its pages lies a partial history of one year in the life of an institution (in reality the first year as Western Montana College). Personnel come and go—History goes on—Western goes on—time goes on. A steady stream of graduates goes out to take positions as effective, productive members of society. As you look back on the year 1965-66 this Chinook will provide you a firm link and reminder of this year to correct the frailties of memory. May your memories be predominantly pleasant.

Each splendid space success, contributing to American scientific progress, to civilization's technological advancement, emphasizes the value of education. But, let us not forget, while impressed by space spectaculars, education's other significant values. For one, it accelerates our economic growth, another triumph. Without this growth, which is propelled by vigorous, progressive industry, our space efforts couldn't get off the launching pad. Education, working in the free enterprise system, plays a major part in improving our standard of living and providing benefits for mankind. THE ANACONDA COMPANY Whose Metals Contribute To Our Sound Economy and fo Adventures In SpaceCost to educate: 5,885! The cost of educating one Montana child has more than doubled in the last 15 years. Today it costs $5,885 to send one child from the first grade through public high school. Where does the money come from? From taxes—both individual and business taxes. Of the $4,949,189 in property taxes paid by the Montana Power Company in 1964, about $3,000,000 went directly into education. That’s enough money to educate 6,300 children for a full school year. Or it would build 115 classrooms ($25,000 per classroom), or buy 750,000 textbooks or pay the salaries of 580 teachers for a full year. None of our tax money is more wisely invested. For it helps to stimulate and enlighten the minds of our young people.
