I«6 4 - 1064 MOKTAM CENTENNIAL Montana started a year of celebration on January 1, 1964, with a band, a float, a gunshot, and gold dust. The band was made up of Montana high school students. Mike Fraser represented Billings and Billings Senior High with his tuba. The float, beauti- fully decorated, was ridden by Willamette Youpee, Miss Indian America; Roberta Tarbox, Miss Montana; Marla Babcock, daughter of Governor and Mrs. Tim Babcock; and Linda Taylor, Miss Montana Junior. The gunshot was fired by Governor Babcock with the gun that won the West. The gold dust, symbolizing good luck, was sprinkled on the float by Sentor Mike Mansfield. The reason for all the formality was to officially begin cele- brating Montana's 100th birthday as a Territory and its 75th birth- day as a State. The great event brought celebrations that will continue throughout 1964. Montana Celebrates Territorial Centennial Crowds watch as Montana Centennial float passes in the Rose Bowl Parade. 30
