Actually these activities make up a small part of the real business of school. Most students have goals to conquer. Not all reach their goals, but the important thing is that they had the goal before them. The students on these pages found their goals attainable.

Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industri- alists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history.

San Antonio Tews (Tern independence day March 2.1836) THE CHANGING NATION Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and develop- ment of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement. The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in num- bers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas . America became a haven for immigrants from every na- tion as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers. CHAPTERS OF AMERICAN HISTORY The Stamp Act of 1765 was an attempt by Eng- land to tax items that were wholly American. The colonists reacted in seething resentment which erupted into angry protestations. The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Americans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was heriocally held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting. The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem. Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built set- tlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often re- lated to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines, textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1848, James Marshall found gold in the race of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma, California. The lust to get rich quick was the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever. Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trains loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West. The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available. While gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery issue. Civil war broke out in the East. This Brothers War was bitterly fought and, though the scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace; often without regard to the limits of safety. The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began re- building and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country. The Iron Horse, carrying homesteaders, greatly helped settlement of the new country. The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869. Transportation was setting the pattern for the American wav of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolleys, automo- biles, farm machinery, and bicycles, all the rage. Along with the accessibility of travel came a new era of nationalism A World War called upon the nation's young men to unite and fight, After the war in Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America bur- ied war memories in the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machines, phono- graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fer- tile minds of its young inventors Baseball be- came the national sport and prohibition was law. Black Thursday, October 24, 1929, saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed. The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly, but surely, the wounds of the 'crash,' the dust bowl, and poverty healed. 3?H£_3£_J flWgg1 35 | •MW ® 34 1 35 1 JE_ ATlON!

The nation's leaders scoffed, until December 7, 1941 Pearl Harbor! Industrial production reached a peak during the war years. Upon their return from four years of battle, the veterans forged ahead with an eye on a ' better life for everyone Several mod- erate recessions in the 50s and 60s reminded cautious citizens of past decades Huge strides were being taken in the scientific field. Television became a part of every family's life. National events were household topics — while they happened — thanks to the new medi- um. Individuals and groups were seen on the tube as they advocated new social reform, or justice, or special causes of their own. TV gave individuals and political systems power greater than ever before. Audio-visual journalism had made its impact. Nearly 100 years of struggling for civil liberties were realized when President Lyndon Baines Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law The Act outlawed segregation in any form The seventies shed light on a new trouble for the nation as it approached its 200th birthday The world's energy sources and natural re- sources were being used up faster than they could be replenished. Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis' and ecology were prominent words in the language Ways to save nature fiom the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country. Earth's crises spurred Americans into further pioneering. This time outer space Ameri- can astronauts were the first on the surface of the moon and the U.S. was first to build a sky- lab' for more scientific study. American is still learning and growing after a mere 200-year infancy.

Or, even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage set- tlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn't the most comfortable way to go, but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800's. A man earned 50c a day. Of course his dollar bought a little more than today's. Butter in 1826 was about 5c lb. in the Midwest; eggs, 3c doz.; corn 6C bu., wheat, 25C bu.; and a cow could be bought for $5. With travel becoming the American tradi- tion, you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4C per mile. And when you reached your des- tination, you could sit down to a 5, or even 10 course meal for 25c. (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800's could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100. But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1.500.

Cookstoves, quality-satisfaction guaran- teed ' could cost you $29.25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up. The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7.85. Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroll- er) for the sum of $12.04 If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles. Ah, those were the days. Some of the cur- rent prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story. Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too. And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper. Those items were only 15c per pound back in civ- ilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and dur- ing the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel.

With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviv- ing without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolution- ary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation s most valuable citi- zen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far cor- ners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phono- graph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass- produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to ful- fill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of dis- covery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of ''finding a way is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society.

Whether they go on to college or seek work immediately, they will need electricity. The principal reason for high productivity in America is the use of energy other than that of man or beast. The average industrial worker in this country has available energy equivalent to that of 700 men, all at the flick of a switch. Power is essential to produce and maintain jobs. Italso ishelping tocleanupthe environment, produce goods and food and remove much of the drudgery from the work we all must do at homeand on the job. Power is valuable.

L. Graves, A. F. Graeter, Joseph Shineberger, Martin Barrett, William Roe, and A. L. Stone associated to establish a bank of discount and deposit. The bank was called State Bank of Dillon with capital stock of $50,000.00 An attempted robbery on August 3, 1910, failed when the holdup man's horse fell with him during the get-away. The robber entered the bank about noon. Many of the local citizens normally on the streets had been attracted to a fire across town which the robber had set. He asked a teller, Mr. A. J. Breda, to change two silver dollars for two paper ones. When Breda turned around, he found himself looking down the barrel of a gun. He immediately dropped to the floor and started crawling to the rear of the bank. The bullet hit one of the large bank books lying on the counter and was deflected into the door above Mr. Breda's head. The identity of the robber has always remained somewhat of a mystery, but Ed Smith served a lengthy prison sentence in Deer Lodge. Mr. Breda was given a $250.00 bonus by the directors of the bank for his actions in preventing the holdup. During the late 20's and early 30's the name of the bank was changed from State Bank of Dillon to State Bank and Trust Company. In 1961 the bank was purchased by two brothers, C. E.

Mining towns such as Bannack, Argenta, and Virginia City thrived on the gold and silver within their surrounding hills and washes. These initial settlements served not only as a hopeful means of wealth for the perservering prospector but as a home for the proud western settlers and a wayward station for the legendary wagon trains. When the ore veins dwindled, the people turned to the land again. Ranching be- came the successful heir to mining's prosperity. Homesteads sprouted through- out Montana's southwestern region from the Big Hole River to the Madison River. View here a reminder of that age now past; understand how people with a pur- pose and land with a bounty are joined to give the homeland of Southwestern Montana. 175 Argenta mine in 1903 USA V£K MAD CAN'D MAMS AM MJSSSD Ten Mile Coach Station between Bannack and Dillon 176 Bannack gold dredge Mill Point Hotel 177 Bannack grocery store and post office 179 County Building of Dillon prior to 1907 when clock was installed. mjCcon eecsKRA zes 96ZM VSAK. Soon after the building of the first transcontinental railroad, Montana gold camps at Helena, Bannack, and Virginia City were attracting large populations. In order to supply these growing communities, it became necessary to complete a branch line off the transcontinental railroad from Utah into Montana. The Beaverhead valley was determined as the logical site for a distribution point to the mining camps. In 1880 the townsite of Dillon, Montana, was purchased by a group of merchants from the ranch of Richard Deacon for the sum of $10,500. Four hundred and eighty acres were purchased. By October 1880 Dillon contained a population of three hun- dred. Dillon was voted the county seat in 1881 after Bannack briefly held that position. Gambling was wide open along the rough row of wooden buildings on Montana Street, Dillon's first downtown district. Saloons were often riotous during eve- nings. More often than not the tepees of impermanent Indian camps could be seen from town near the river or on the lower slopes of the nearby hills. Through the ninety-six years from 1880 to 1976, Dillon has be- come the economic and social centerpoint of Southwestern Montana. Along with its regional responsibilities, it has thrived and provided both family and business with a fertile legacy in which to grow. The following pictures exhibit the history that has has become Dillon, Montana. Adapted from OUR LITTLE OLD TOWN by Frank Eliel by Frank Eliel Sidney V. Dillon.

There were approximately eighteen Chinese living in Dillon in the late 1800's and early 1900's. These Chinese lived primarily in the area of North Idaho Street. The area became known as The Cabbage Patch because of the Chinese's flourishing produce gardens. Often living as recluses because of teasing and mockery by the townspeople, the Chinese were found to be very friendly. The Dillon Chinese provided for themselves mainly by garden, laundry, and restau- rant businesses. Six Chinese businesses were licensed in 1889. Tom Haw was a four year old, Chinese San Franciscan when first cared for by Tom Orr, brother of the late William Orr, Sr. The Chinese lad became so attracted to his benefactor that he took Mr. Orr's name, lisping the name as Tommy Haw. He came to Montana when fifteen years old with the second band of Orr cattle. Tom Haw became proficient in handling sheep and cattle and became wealthy as an independent cattleman. His brand, OC, represented the first letters of his nickname, Orr's Chinaman. The money he accumulated was largely lost in mining ventures.

DJCWMZSS MS PROUD 07 WSSZSRjZS eOWZRJMUZJOflS Western during the days of Normal Hill Western Montana College, encompassing a thirty-four acre campus on Dillon's southeastern perimeter, harbors a history synonomous with that of the Treasure State. Established as a State Normal School in 1893 by Montana's Third Leg- islative Assembly, the Dillon college inaugurated classes in 1897 and throughout eight decades has earned national acclaim as a source of superior teachers. Its growth and progress has paralleled that of county and state. From its original ten acre campus, forty-two students, and faculty staff of five, Western today is an education facility involving almost eight hundred scholars and a forty member instructional corps, dedicated to the premise of personalized guidance, and re- tention of student individuality. Success of that formula is evidenced by Western's year-to-year placement of its graduates. Rare indeed is the Montana city or town whose school system does not include a teacher, coach, or administrator with a WMC degree. From the Office of Information of Western Montana Montana College 185 “XMS WAV WS WSRS Bagley School during demolition in 1972 In 1881 the town of Dillon donated an entire block to the school district for school purposes. Beaverhead County's first high school was started in 1888. The first graduating class of two students. Dr. Mark Poindexter and Roscoe Cornell, left the school in 1892. By 1913 en- rollment reached ninety-eight pupils. A gym- nasium was constructed and completed in 1916. Enrollment of Beaverhead County High School increased to three hundred by 1936, two hundred pupils more than the building was built toaccommodate. In 1937 the school board proposed a new high school building. Dillon responded by passing the measure by a vote of eight hundred and thirty-two to one hundred and twenty-five and so provided Beaverhead County with an appropriate high school build- ing still being used today. Parkview Junior High School, completed in 1962, serves grades six through eight with modern facilities and an outstanding staff. Bagley School, demolished in the summer of 1972, was replaced by the recently completed North Parkview School, built in May 1970. Mary Innes School still serves preschoolers and first graders. The Class of '76 was the last class to complete fifth grade in the Bagley School. 186 First Dillon public school DJCjCJON MJQM SC MOO £ 4 ROSTER. BOARD OF EDUCATION. 1. AM It KMT K .IKI.. flair .

The members exchanged the books among themselves and saved them to become the nucleus of a hoped-for town library. On March 17, 1890, a public meeting was held in the rectory of the Episcopal Church. At that time the citizens present organized a library associa- tion for the purpose of establishing a public library. The association members were expected to pay a yearly fee of $2.00 in advance or to contribute an equal value of materials or labor. In January of 1891 the library was moved from its home in the Masonic Lodge to the Old Band Room over Crowell and Nuckoll's grocery. The library then contained three hundred and eleven holdings. By the year's end circulation was four hundred volumes. The Dillon Library Association trustee meeting of Decem- ber 1892 decided that library privileges should be free, funded by popular subscription, limited to patrons of age twelve or older, and regulated by a patron card system to insure against book loss or damage. The Dillon Free Public Library came into being at that time. The library was moved in 1894 into the ground floor room of the old courthouse from its former site in the State Bank (the building where the liquor store is today). Reverend Hooker circulated a petition and presented it to the City Council on March 18%, asking that city property be assessed one mill for funds to support the free public library. During the city election one month later, the propo- sition was favorably passed. The years from 1896 to 1899 were struggling ones for the new library and trustees. One finds the accounts of the trustee's meetings concerned with card catalogs and cords of firewood. The city purchased the lot on the corner of Idaho and Glen- dale, the library's present location, early in 1901 from Mr. A.F. Graeter for $1200. Construction was completed on De- cember 22, 1902, and the library opened to patrons five days later. The library now circulated five thousand eight hun- dred and ninety volumes and held two thousand four hundred and thirty-eight volumes within its new building of native Montana and locally quarried rock. There was a confusion of gaps in the library records until the later 1930's due to the the Depression and World War I years. Succeeding years saw many library innovations incorporated: the Lucy Hamilton Carson Alcove was donated by the Shakespeare Club in memory of the Dillon educator in 1938, the Cutter Classi- fication System was converted to the Dewey System in 1942, the interlibrary loan system was established for the Dillon library in 1944, and in 1946 the library was accredited by the Montana State Library Association. In 1951 Miss Carolyn White left $10,000 to the library to be invested with the interest going toward book purchasing. In 1954 the Dick Johnson Boy Scout Memorial Shelf was donated. In 1962 Mrs. Innes, head librarian for sixty years, was honored with a Librarian Emeritus award. That same year the Jaycees and and Jayceens completed a two year, $6553 improvement of the library and physical plant. That September Miss Karen Eudaily came to work and is now assisting Mrs. Joan Mc- Dougal who has hired in October of 1973 has head librarian. Since its inception, the Dillon Public Library has been a community concern involving interested townspeople who have given unselfishly of their time and effort.
