TO OUR FRIMDS FROM OUR PRINCIPAL 20 that intangible and undefinable thing known as loyalty to the school, the Seniors, who are being graduated rom the Buffalo High School this year are dedicating this Annual. This is commendable. It reflects a fine spirit and is a concrete attempt on their part at least to express their apprec- iation in the name of the whole school for what they are receiving from the patrons of the district in the form of educational advantages. Tho it may be said that education in the public schools is universal and that every ambitious youth in the State of Montana may have the privileges of a high school education, it cannot be said with ejial emphasis that the sup- port for such an institution is as undivided end encouragement for the ac- ceptance of this sort of training so complete and unstinted as it is found here. That a realization of this fact has definitely forced its way into the minds of the graduates of this school is now apparer , and they wish to say in words, and in thots which cannot be expressed, how grateful they are to you for the opportunities you have provided for them. During the four years of their high school training they have felt the steadying influence of your moral support; your cooperation v ith them, and your loyality to the school has touched a responsive cord in their hearts, and while you may forget the numerous favors and expressions of good will shown them, they must ever remember with increasing- pride what your comradeship and council had meant to them. They are therefore leaving behind them a monument, dedicated to you,which you cannot help but admire as the years pass by. While this volume in itself represents an unusual amount of exceedingly painstaking work, completed in long drawn out overtime hours, that part of the story you will never know half as well as the students who have added their talents to perfect the third mimeograph edition of THE BUFFALO . You will, however, be .‘impressed with the product of a seniors mind, conceived, designed and executed right here in your own school. This, in contrast to the highly developed year books arranged and very largely perfected by the skillful hand of a master printer, a technically trained engraver and a professional photographer who adds his artistic ability in the many portraits that form an important part of such a book. All the more then you will appreciate the high regard which the Class of f27 has expressed by dedicating this volume to you, because it represents not the array of professional skill, as in annuals above alluded to, but to work of their own hands»

 Teach the fundamentals in education; interpret life in terms of life; combine hooks and things, work and study. Teach honor , duty, courage, faith, hope, love of home and of country, rever- ence for God. Teach self-denial and self-reliance; love of work, joy in service, satisfaction and strength from difficulties over- come. Teach reading, writing and arithmetic, of course, hut not as fundamentals, except as in the learning one is taught to know that the sum one one’s happiness cannot he c.tained by subtracting from others; and that the way to multiply the value of one’s pos- sessions is to divide them with others, especially with those in need. Teach geography, but only that to world knowledge may be ad- ded world sympathy and understanding and fellowship. Teach history, that against its grey background of suffering and sorrow and struggle, we may better understand the present and may project a finer future. Teach civics, to make strong the ideals of liberty and jus- tice, and to make free, through obedience, the citizens of a re- public. Teach science, but always as the hand maid of religion, to reveal how the brooding spirit of God created the world and all that is therein and set the stars in their courses. Teach music and art and literature; reveal beauty and truth; inculcate social and civic ideals These are the real fundamentals in education, for ’character is higher than intellect’, and the soul shall never die.
