Superintendent’s Message MR. WARREN W. DE JARNETT Two outstanding graduating classes at Big Horn this spring are a real source of pride. The senior class is the largest in the history of the school and ranks high scholastically. The eighth grade graduates show considerable promise for high school and will no doubt give a good account of themselves. The completion of the Industrial Arts building marks the last of the current list of im- provements to the school plant. The tennis courts, built by the Big Horn Lions Club, and the installation of an irrigation system and lawn equipment will be of great value in the improve- ment of the grounds. Funds totaling $125.43 presented by the class of 1966 will take care of the planting of evergreens and shrubbery. On February 11th the school was fully accredited by the State Department of Education. During the past year all efforts have been directed toward this achievement. The cooperation of the community and their financial effort has been significant. The more recent develop- ment was the approval of the Junior High School as a separate department. This was accom- plished because of the approval of our course of study, text books and equipment. Proper en- dorsement of teachers in their respective teaching fields and the necessary administrative director were other contributing factors in establishing the Junior High School. Plans for the coming year should establish further improvements. It has been the good fortune of Mrs. De Jarnett and myself to know many graduating classes since 1939 and to watch these fine people take their places in society. Many of these graduates have children in school and on several occasions members of the second generation have graduated. Nothing has been so enjoyable as to visit with old grads and to compare notes concerning the past. After five, ten, twenty and even thirty years, problems that at one time appeared vital now seem to be almost insignificant. Mr. Farren Johnson will assume the superintendency by September 1. Our best wishes are extended to Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and we hope their time at Big Horn will be as re- warding. 3

Monuments rhe Editor’s Corner Open Doors Graduation marked the closing of the 'Door of Education' for some seniors, and for others it opened wider as plans are made for college. Whichever the case may be, we are all grateful for the training and advantages afforded us in the Big Horn High School. We have work, fun and also tears, to mingle with our memories, but we all feel ready to go on to college, or to face the busi- ness world with confidence because of the background we have attained. Each has had the opportunity to learn and mature at his own rate, while being pro- vided with guidance, understanding and dis- cipline. For these things we say Thank You. At this time we are unable to build a Monument to show our appreciation of what our school and community has done for us, but hope our future records as we take our place in society, will reflect the traditions we have been given. So we are ready for the times of our lives: Unto every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. .... —Judy Currie 4 Monuments people build to themselves or to their memories crumble with time, but that memory built in the mind is more often than not the better of the two. Monuments may endure in beauty, but the memories and recollection which are a part of life are the only ones worth keeping. People are re- membered by that which they do, say, and produce. Still there remains a disassociation with the time in which something is made; the answers to the questions that are raised about these people and their way of doing things is accurate only when provided by a frame of reference, but when this is not done all accomplishments mean nothing. Being aware of the times is the most important part of a person's life for it is only within this short span that a memory or a mental tribute is built. Just possibly something you consider elemental in your life may be the one great and outstanding quality that you are remembered for. It is hoped that this annual produced by the Sen- iors of 1969 will be such a monument. — Bill Goodman
