S zvenAetuL (jaunty iy i ScAmC The Z Mo tf ’TTCwtcuta, s c H L B A R Although we may not realize it, these people are doing a great deal for us. We must stop to think of the time that they donate each meeting for our own welfare. On the second Monday of each month they meet to discuss the problems that concern us all. Quite a large responsibility is placed on their shoulders. For this work they receive no pay except for the satisfaction of seeing their children and all of the high school stu- dents studying in a more pleasant atmosphere with friendly and congenial teachers and faculty members. We should try to give these people the credit that they so justly de- serve. 2 RICHARD ALBERT JOHNSON E D To Richard Johnson 1 and Richard Nelson C our former friends and classmates. who were once an inseparable part A of our school life, we dedicate tnis M annual.

A bod percentage of you will be continuing your education next fall by entering college. Some of you will be starting your military service. Still others will be entering business and trade fields. We hope we have given ypu the foundation necessary regardless of your choice. The value of a high school education is not terminated when you receive your diploma. Beaverhead County High School wants to continue to help you for the rest of your life. Regardless of where you may reside, come back to see us, you are always welcome. The Best of Luck, f Bill Bruer Principal Much credit must be given to our calm and patient office secretary, Fern Fox. She listens to the students excuses and decides whether they should have a permit to class. This job is minor compared with acting as secretary to the principal and keeping the books for all the clubs and organizations in the school. Scoxetasuf, 0?en t Anyone can come into the building before and after school or between classes and see our custodians, George (Red) Pettit and Jules Wenger, assiduously at work keeping the building in perfect condition. They are not only the best custodians, but the best friends of all the students. ut C eeC MILDRED AVERY Typing and Ait Sponsor of: Beaver and Annual Business Staffs.
