(Parents •Ju i . fc : S each year rolls by and another class graduates from Beav- erhead County High School, people seldom stop and think of all the work of preparing even one person for graduation. Few students finish school merely by their own efforts; behind them are relatives, friends, teachers, and above all, parents, who give immeasurable aid. It was our parents who started us to kindergarten and carefully watched our progress through these twelve years of school, who spent hours helping us when we just couldn’t do arithmetic and later when we didn’t understand algebra or geometry. It was mom or dad who reminded us about homework when we were planning to go to a show. Thanks to careful planning on their part we bad the proper food to eat, good health, and warm clothing, so that we could attend school each day and receive a complete education. In our years of high school, many of us would have given up when the going was tough, but our parents stood close by us, opening the way, pointing out the advantages we were receiving and showing how important edu- cation was. When the character of a student is noted to be outstanding, just stop and think that if this person had not grown up in a happy home, with proper supervision and guidance, his chances for a successful life would have been very different. We have no way of showing our parents howr great our appreciation for them really is. Sometimes in our haste we may have offended their helping hand, but our hope is—that in our lives, our every act will make them proud of us and help repay them for all the big things and all the little things that have meant so much to us. As you turn the pages of this annual may you hear them echoing our thanks and everlasting gratitude. Glass of cM.ine.lten GHundred GForiij-mne

 forward E may not be well remembered as the years pass by at Beaverhead County High, but we will never for- get our days here, how we passed through the halls, talking and laughing, sat in the classrooms whispering, giggling, and some- times studying. Our hearts now’ are filled with pride and love of our school, when once—as we entered for the very first time back in 45—there w7as fear and uncertainty. We remember the happy moments spent among cheerful companions; the new faces each year; the old faces with the happy expres- sion of eager anticipation that is so typical of our students; our teachers, music and dramatic directors, and class sponsors who worked untiringly for our benefit; the rousing assemblies and class yells; songs we sang, the cheerleaders and pep club in action; the band at pep assemblies priming us for the games to follow; the games themselves, and the willing boys who fought and played so hard to bring ath- letic fame to our Beaverhead High. The most quiet and shy ones of us have experi- enced the glorious feeling of belonging at a pep rally or a basketball game. Our petty love affairs have blossomed and faded like morning glories. We have experienced tragedies in our schooLJife. for w’hat greater tragedy is there than a girl without a date the night before the prom or a boy missing the deciding shot of a basketball game and looking into the hollowr smiles of his team-mates? People outside seldom realize the drama that takes place in a high school every second of the day. Each of us suddenly realizes, writh tears in our eyes and a lump in our throat, that never again will wre feel the pure joy of being a member of the student body of B.C.H.S. But we are lucky that in our four years here we have gathered suffi- cient memories and enough joy to last a lifetime. Nothing will ever replace the loyal friendships, hours of joy, and pride that we have known here. May this book which binds us all to- gether, show7 to us, our school-mates, and others, the true spirit of Beaverhead County High School.
