Beaverhead County High School - Beaver Yearbook (Dillon, MT)

Every year a group of Tenderfeet, who are newcomers to the outfit, enter the gates of Beaverhead County High School. As Tenderfeet they begin their secondary education. At first they wander around aimlessly until they become familiar with the outfit. They progress and in their second year they become Wranglers. By then they have spent a year working and learning the ropes. They break out fairly well and begin to settle down. Perhaps, the Wranglers have a lot to be proud of but it takes work handling some mighty big herds before they are turned out. The Wranglers advance and are now Waddies. The Waddies do a lot of hard work and are a necessary part of any organization. Along in the spring they have a “big shindig ’ the Junior Prom. Every outfit has some hands who are outstanding in their work. Having completed the four years of training they are ready to leave for bigger ranges. So it is with the Tophands of Beaverhead County High School. The time has come to say, “S’ long, pal.”

Hawkins’ Ranch — Blacktail The Hands Although we have four separate classes, Tenderfeet, Wranglers, Waddies. and Toohands. it is a prevalent attitude for them to “stick together.” Many times the groups have been called upon to work together not on the competitive basis but on the cooperative scheme. This has been shown during our successful basketball tournaments and music concerts. All classes responded with equal vigor to do their part. There is a friendly rivalry between our classes in yells at assemblies, in money-raising projects, and in contests. During the year each class organizes several projects; these projects are worked out very carefully and are put into the school ranch's regime. Through unity our outfit has become one of the most outstanding competitors in the state. The record of tolerance it shows is one of which we can be proud.
