Administration This photograph is the original of the gallows on which the notorious outlaw sheriff, Henry Plummer, and his deputies, Ned Ray and Buck Stinson, were hanged by the Vigilantes on Jan- uary 10, 1864. The negative is in the files of the Beaverhead County Museum. Plummer’s grave has never been marked; it had gradually become obliterated by the elements until no one but a few of the oldest townsmen could point to its exact location. The fame of the Vigilantes and Henry Plummer’s Innocents, which had their beginning at Bannack during the early gold rush days, is drawing tourists in ever - increasing numbers. A .little help in directing them to this ghost town when pass- ing through Beaverhead County will cause them to pause longer. 7

University of California. Oregon State College. TO THE SENIORS: We are taught that the building blocks of civilization are taught as the seven cardinal virtues; wisdom, courage, temperance, justice, faith, hope and love. The last three Christian virtues are not easy to practice amidst the violence of the world today, but throughout the centuries they have gained in importance. The student working out his emotional and personal problems may do well to accept the tried and proven experiences of the past. May these virtues bring a golden era of peace to the world. Let each one of us gather most out of the good of the past and make the fullest use of it in the present. I am confident that the class of 1951 will carry on the fine work that it has done in Beaverhead Countv High School. May you forever hold high the standards that you have attained in your high school work.
