“The Ranch” Beaverhead County High School Administration Any successful organization must have well-chosen leadership. It must be in the hands of a person willing to insure the needed discipline for good activity. Mr. D. L. Johnson, a man capa- ble of holding this responsibility, is Beaverhead County High School’s big boss. Our administration is also made effective with Mr. Bierrum as our assistant big boss. He takes over when Mr. Johnson is away on official business. The ranch work finds the foremen in different corrals. The teachers of our departments are the corral bosses. Our teachers carry the load of personally directing the Hands through their four years of training. The four years spent in this outfit are important in determining the trails we will follow in later life. Beaverhead County High School is considered one of the finest buildings in the state of Montana. It has fourteen regular class rooms, boys’ and girls’ shower and dressing rooms, a mechanical drawing room, an agricultural department, a home economics department, a shop department, a science department, a commercial department, a journalism department, a clinic, study hall, library, a little theater, a gymnasium with seating capacity of 1,000, and an audi- torium seating 600, and the administrative offices. It is earthquake and fire proof and was constructed at a cost of $350,000. It is a beautiful building and one of which Dillon and the whole Beaverhead County can be very proud.

THE FOREWORD In the years to come we will never forget the days when we rode for our ranch. Beaverhead County High School. The memories of the friends we made, the fun we had, and the new trails we blazed, will always remain with us. We began as Tenderfeet and worked our way up to Tophands. Now the time has come for us to saddle up and see what lies beyond the next hill. The purpose of this book is to keep these memories bright and shining, in spite of the attempts of years ahead to dim them. Though we may now go our separate ways, between the covers of this book we are bound together forever.
