IN MEMORIAM Ejiil James Beaulaurier 1914-1932 Eniil Beaulaurier was the outstanding member of our class. He was always a popular and willing leader of bis classmates in work and play; an unusually likeable fellow who bad that innate ability that characterizes all great leaders. He possessed a magnetic personality that reached out to all whom he came in contact with, and made everyone who knew him a personal friend. For two years our class chose Eniil Beaulaurier as its standard bearer. In Ibe third year, although unable to attend school longer, he was again selected as our honorary leader. For two years he did his share willingly and capably as a member of the varsity football audi basketball squads. And as long as he stayed in school, he supported all its activities with every ounce of energy he possessed, of which be was a human dynamo. His accomplishments, had he not been so unfortunately taken from its, might have reached unlimited bounds. Although many of our school day memories will fade away, the memory of this remarkable personality will forever remain vividly in our minds, be- cause he was just the sort of person we all looked up to. II ' each of us would preserve the memory of that unquenchable spirit of enthusiasm, faith, and loy- alty, that characterized this school day friend of ours, by holding his person up as an exalted example to guide ourselves by, we could not help but be more successful in whatever we might chance to do.

DEDICATION The sturdy pioneers of Montana came to this great commonwealth with determination in their hearts, destiny in their souls, am) visions of a great, new commonwealth in their minds. They came destined to found a new state of unsurpassed agricultural, mineral, and industrial advantages. Their Task was Herculean, but nevertheless was completed very satisfactorily by the set- tlers. They laid solid foundations, firm in all respects, upon which every pari of Montana ' s progress as a state has rested securely. Prominent in this founding were such men as .Mai-ens Daly, who first de- veloped our great copper industry; Paris Gibson, who. having realized the future importance of Great Falls as an industrial and agricultural center, first founded this city and planned its growth; -lames .1. Hill, who brought one of the earliest railroads into .Montana, and so qu ickened its rise and development ; and Sidney Edgerton, who. as first territorial governor of this state, brought ahoni its i ' arly political transformation toward statehood. Such men as these. along with many others, were directly responsible for the founding of this state ' s present highly developed educational system. They had the vision and foresight to realize thai, without educational and cultural development to a considerable extent, their firm foundations set for government and industry would soon he wiped out by the illiteracy of their ancestors. And so they Iniili our first schools, and encouraged attendance at these by as many of the first native sons of this state as could possibly attend. To all these broad-minded, constructive founders of .Montana and ils edu- cational institutions, we appreciatively dedicate this, the 26th annual ROUND- UP, in sincere appreciation of all they have done for us.

TO THOSE WHO MADE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE ►in final year in high school has no1 been without its difficult ies. We have been denied ninny things which others who preceded us in school have enjoyed. And had it not been for the exceptionally strong class spiril of the 1933 grad- uates, we would have likewise been denied the privilege of having this annual. To lliose Seniors and underclassmen who stood unflinchingly for a 1933 ROUNDUP, not only when the question was being discussed, but during the subscription campaign as well, we extend utmost appreciation. The cooperation of the student members and advisors of the clubs and classes has helped immensely in speeding up the work on this book, final or- ganization of which was completed late in the fall. Despite the small number of clubs existent this year, because of the unsatisfactory way in which the platoon system regulated hours, all those clubs which managed to organize worked hard in getting the necessary funds for their ROUNDUP insertion fees. Accordingly, we did not have to omit the usual organization section, which omission might seriously have impaired the success of this book. The in- ability of the various classes to charge dues likewise forced them to work much harder in obtaining the necessary fees, for which all the class workers should be given due credit. Last, bur by no means least, do we appreciate the assistance rendered us by the business firms throughout the city in making up all financial deficit incurred by us. Through the medium of their sponsorships, we are enabled to follow the precedent established it! past years anil give the students a worth while publication costing almost twice as much as they pay for it. The mer- chants accept these sponsorships primarily to show their good will to you, the student body and faculty members of this school. We hope you all will con- scientiously reciprocate, and show your good will to these firms by your patron- age and support.
