Mr. Cliff Harmala, Superintendent of Glendive Schools, called on the graduating seniors to think on some prac- tical considerations in his Commencement Address en- titled What Should I Expect. Some of them were: Be temperate in your habits, be careful in your choice of companions, choose vocation wisely, as parents spend time with children, be responsi- ble for your own actions--profit by other's mistakes.

His final admonition was: go to church, read the Scriptures, pray. What man has done, you, too, can do. Motto: “Of a Good Beginning,.
