WE ENDEAVOR TO BUILD This, the 1959 Mustang, is presented to you, for its represents the 1958-1959 school year—work, play and progress. We have tried to capture between these covers, through picture and word, the many scenes, situations and activities that have passed. Each new year builds its achievements on past history. It is the desire of the 1959 Mustang staff to pay tribute to the colorful background of Argentine. It is common knowledge that 1849 was the year of the gold rush, but few people know that an- other important strike was made just 100 years ago in Nevada—that of silver. Silver may have been important to Nevada, but to Argentine, some years later, it became the key to existence. The smelter processed the silver; the silver, in turn, shaped the town. ■ 7 . 'f u A -

THROUGH CO-OPERATION if py In fact, silver was so significant that city fathers chose the Latin word Argentine, which means 'silver town, as its name. Even the first band was dubbed The Silver Coronets and one of .the first treets became Silver avenue. Though time and progress have erased many of Argentine's early landmarks, new achievements lave come in their stead. Through the community's co-operation, Argentine's new school took its : lace on the landscape in 1956, while the smelter sketched on the first page of this book was de- troyed in the spring of 1958—to be replaced only months later by a symbol of our rapidly moving :ivilization—the 18th street trafficway, zooming within a stone's throw from the school. From this rich heritage comes our theme for the '59er. So—to you, the community, we dedi- :ate this Argentine high school Mustang, the '59er, black and silver. Si Cb A
