TO THE PIONEER . . . Who braved the perils and distress Of beating back the wilderness, Taming man and beast to bless This, our age, with great largess. Labored plots of ground to clear, Gloried in the vastness here, Dreaming of another year, Rich and free from want and fear. Put opportunity at hand, Gave to us with this command, Take it, use it. climb it and You'll make this still a better land. —Lynn Urion.

(2 (p WqMAAWSL Pro-gres-sive! What in tarnation! Maybe I'm a mite dumb. Boy. list a mite yuh understand. But what's a pro-gres-sive school board? Why, that's a school board that doesn't stand still. Ain't seen a man yit that kin stand still fer long or a female either. So what are yuh beatin' yore gums 'bout that fer? That's not exactly what I mean. A progerssive board consists of a group of men who look into the pres- ent and the future to provide an ade- quate school system for all the kids of Billings. Take, for example, the new improvements that have al- ready taken place. There's the new Washington school, the Highland school, an addition of two classrooms and an assembly room at the Orch- ard, a gym and six classrooms at the Garfield, and improvements of our own Daylis Memorial Stadium. Must o' cost a lot. It did. To be exact, $1,162,000. It was the hard work of the board that helped to bring about the passing of a bond issue for these costs in 1947 by the property owners of District No. 2. Wal, I'll be dumed! Now, that's not all. They've done more than just furnish us a place to go to school. Rather than settle for poor teachers, they have raised the level of their salaries. It is now high- er than most of the surrounding states and as good or better than any place in Montana itself. We owe a lot to our board. You can be sure they have our thanks for all the time and energy they've taken from their own businesses to look out for our wel- fare. Yes, this is a progressive school board. Now I see what you're drivin' at, Sonny. I shore do. Fred A. Hofmann Chairman Non-athletic Advisory Committee Page Eight Sterling M. Wood Chairman of Board of Trustees Harold J.
