OUR HIGH SCHOOL IN A GROWING COMMUNITY FRONT ENTRANCE OF BEAVERHEAD COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL During the past year the community of Dillon and Beaverhead County High School have ex- perienced a new feeling -- growing pains. Dillon expanded with new buildings, new housing, and new people; and, as the community grew, our high school also found that it required new ideas and changes additional space and more teachers to fill the needs of its students. A few ot the many changes are shown on the following pages.

MR. B. W. LODGE The editors and staff of the 1965 BEAVER dedicate this annual to a man who has shaped the minds of youth throughout his years at Beaverhead County High School. Particularly has the Class of 1965 felt his understanding and patience in all its projects. Here is a man who truly blends our school with the community. As he has endeavored to keep our school progressing, alert to new ideas and changes and sympathetic to the enthusiastic plans of his stu- dents, he has also exerted a profound influence on the growth of the community. We dedicate this annual with sincere gratitude to our principal, B. W. Lodge. 4

THE B ... a project which was initiated by the B Club but whose work could not have been completed without the helping hands of many Beaverhead County High School students. Typical of Dillon’s commercial development during the year of 1964-1965 are the attractive new business structures pictured on the opposite page. ABOVE and at the RIGHT are two of the many new innovations that took place at Beaverhead County High School this past year. BCHS students worked closely with their business neighbors in expanding -- Future nurses provided valuable morale builders for the Eventide Rest Home patients- students compiled data for Montana Power Company use; and students served as a vital source of labor supply for summer forestry projects. As the high school youth helped the community, so the community assisted the students in many of their projects -- the Bureau of Land Management provided land for the B ; residents of Dillon were willing customers for band candy, Thespian plays, sports events and concerts; citizens helped to assure fine skiing facilities for students. BCHS and the community of Dillon have found them- selves working together in many ways -- the Key Club raked the Barrett Hospital lawn in the spring; the Elks Club provided food and entertainment after the prom and graduation exe.rcises; student typists assisted with the Red Cross Blood Drawing; and city and county officials cooperated with the Elks in allowing the Seniors to fill city and county posts on Government Day, usually held in May. This wonderful cooperation between our high school and the community has helped youth to understand adults and adults to understand youth.
