k Mr. E. B. Cogswell Mr. V. F. Gibson Mrs. Frank Kerr Mr. R. B. Noble Confronted by unusually difficult school problems, the eight members of our board have proved themselves able and alert leaders by affecting a suc- cessful bond election in April, which will provide the funds necessary to rebuild schools, maintain repairs and keep teachers ' salaries adequate. It is through the efforts of these trustees that we have such excellent administrators, teachers and other school employees. Elected by the people, and serving without remun- eration, their position as mediators between public and school is one of impor- tant social consequence. Mr. R. H. Rebal Mr. J. F. Smith Mr. E. C. Steele Mr. Randall Swanberq ( 13 )

Robert B. Farnsworth Superintendent ' s Message A high school annual dedicated to student life! No period in a lifetime will highlight as many pleasant memories as those years covered by this book — the four short years of work and play which are privileges of all those for- tunate enough to attend an American high school. The problems you have met as underclassmen, Juniors and Seniors offer a training program which has developed capable leaders and cooperative workers who rise to every emergency. Graduating Seniors will soon be in all parts of the world assum- ing responsibilities for which we hope your training here has partly prepared you. It is to you especially that we voice appreciation for the constructive things you have done for Great Falls High School, and extend best wishes for the time ahead. ROBERT B. FARNSWORTH I 12 )

i Cyril H. Hancock Principal ' s Message The theme of this book, Student Life, represents more than the activities of the boys and girls in the Great Falls High School. It represents the realization of an ideal. In no other country do young men and young women have such unlimited opportunities for obtaining the benefits of education. In no other country are so many students attending the secondary schools, nor has any other country invested so much in the education of its youth. The student life of a typical American high school represents the realization of that distinctly democratic philosophy that education is for all boys and girls, and that to each should be given the privilege of attaining as much as his or her ability and ambition permits. May the young men and women pictured here continue to protect and defend our heritage of fre edom, and in the critical days that lie ahead may our investment in the education of our youth prove to be as it has in the past — our most valuable asset. Congratulations to the Class of 1948 and to the Roundup Staff for produc- ing this excellent record of student life. CYRIL H. Principal HANCOCK ( 14 l
