THE SCOTTY. GLASGOW, MONTANA P8805 Board of Education, Glasgow Public Schools To these men who so efficiently carry the responsibilities of the administration of our school system, the staff respectfully dedicates this issue of the Scotty. Seated, left to right, they are: Elmer Hall, President, Oral R. McCleery Roland Alger A B Friedlund Clerkg Mark Watson, Sam H. Orvis, and R. L. Irle, Superintendent. Glasgow Schools Are Fortunate When Scotty made the first appearance three years ago, Superintendent lrle wrote, upon the introduction of the book, that he hoped it would serve as an outlet for student talent and to cement school friendships and loyalty. He also expressed what communities and schools sometimes fail to realize, that we owe our thanks to the Board of Education of the Glasgow High School who make it possible for us to have so many extra-curricular activities and who are not Scotch in the matter of education. This group of men work quietly and unobtrusively, meeting once or twice a month during the year, solving problems of policy and administration that probably would be unsolvable to most of us. They keep the school tied to the community in a direct way, and their meetings are many times long and tiresomeg yet they receive no financial compensation and very often little recognition. They are often forced to say No, even at the risk of being mis- understood by the pupils, teachers and the community. While this is a position of honor, demanding the respect and faith of the community, it demands many character qualities to shoulder the responsibili- ties involved in making decisions on school policy and in estimating the financial resources of the community and stayng within them and yet main- taining a good school. To these men who work with lVlr. lrle and show, like him, qualities of efficiency, patience and tolerance in school administration, the Scotty wishes to say that we believe it is only because of your outstandingly wise adminis- tration that Glasgow is able to have such a finely balanced school system.

Wars, inventions, births, deaths, calamities, successes, failures, attempts, struggles for legislative measures, op- pressions, and disagreements between men of different nations, or the same nation, state, community or city are things that seem unforgettable and consequently are re- corded in books of history which the younger generations must spend endless hours studying in order to grasp the significance of the events in the days of the forefathers. Professors of history work clay after day, year after year, in research work trying to find out the if's, when's and why's of it all. And why? To record in books, which obviously grow bigger and bigger at each publication, and which require more time and effort on the part of the history pupils to master. Not at all. The general public believes, and rightly, that history repeats itself. If time and effort is spent finding the causes of difficulties ancl strife of any kind, it may be possible that some student interested in solving problems for the betterment of the life of the world in general, may find a way to avoid this disaster in the future. But there is one item that constantly arises in a history and it is safe to say that it occupies about one-third of the entire contents-war and all its horrors. ls there no solution? Wars seem to have existed since the crea- tion of the universe. It seems that probing into the past has not brought to light a way to wipe it from the face of the earth. Other methods must be considered. What they are no one knows, yet we all have our suggestions. Can't somebody think of a way to settle disputes peace- ably and end war for all time. The person who does will not only be an international hero but the idol of history students. IF I TOLD YOU THAT . . . Edward Butler has turnecl over a new leaf and is go- ing to study in bookkeeping. lVlaza has a crush on Fabian. Peggy is going to be an opera singer. Clarence Johnson is a woman-hater. J. B. Cabell isn't valedictorian. John Maguire got to school all in one piece on time two days in a row ancl Russell Mattsfeldt wasn't absent. Pat, Kathleen, Leona, Hazel and Emma passed their I 40. Helen lVlclVlillan dicln't skip school this year. Nadine Peterson didn't have any work to do during her two study halls first and second periods. Beverley came to school a whole week without missing even one hour. WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED? FLASH The Workers of the World fpart-time kids to you, had their annual get-to-gether in the form of a picnic on Wednesday, May IO, at the Porcupine, perennial picnic ground of all ages. It was a joy to see these future busi- ness men and women-shoe salesmen and what have you--forgetting the cares of the workaday world in the pleasure of frolicking in the great outdoors. The most enjoyable part of the whole affair, of course, was the food, of which there was an ample supply. Working peo- ple get hungry!

The local hotels, restaurants and the theaters are helping to cooperate. Airplane trips to Fort Peck dam and the badlands have been planned. Along with these are trips by boat on the Fort Peck Lake and motor trips around -the project. A night football game is to be another attraction of the con- vention.
