In Memoriam We. the Chinook Staff of 1965, dedicate this page to the memory of a friend and fellow student, Larry Patrick, who lost his life in a motorcycle accident during the winter of 1965. Although he had attended Western for only a short time, Larry was known and respected by many of Western’s students and faculty members. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Tunis again home. 5 —Tennyson—

Dedication DR. SHELDON E. DAVIS 1919 President 1946 1946 President Emeritus 1964 With the passing of Dr. Sheldon E. Davis on December 21, 1964, Western Montana College lost a true friend, a public-spirited citizen, author, teacher, and educator. Gone is a man who believer! in learning and in the values of the mind. His task had been hard, but a long life of service to education permitted the completion of the task he had set for himself and for the good of others. Truly, Dr. Davis was a man of large gifts, a man who in his position knew the price of failure as well as the incomparable reward of success. Being long the leader of our College, he strove to combine spiritual belief with the broadest possible personal development of the individual student. His wit was known to all who knew him, as were his view of the future and his kindliness. Through depression and war he provided the inspiration many will not soon forget; he commanded respect by the example he set; he furnished a goal toward which we can strive. We who are confronted with the problems of education miss him, and we shall continue to miss him. “Those having torches will pass them on to others.” —Plato— 4

The seal design was created by Duane Simon; the art work was done by Robert Sherman; and the school motto, “Education—Key to the Future,” was translated into correct classical Latin by Father Bernard J.
