 (greetings: Dear Seniors: You are just completing the twelve year course of education prescribed by District 17-H. You have done very well what has been outlined for you. You will no doubt profit greatly from what you have accomplished. But, you have just begun. Organized education approaches steadily nearer to both the cradle and the grave. Most of you began your education at the age of six. Below that is the kindergarten. Now, in many places nursery schools are being established. You are now facing college and university, and when that is over your schooling has advanced only one degree. There is no end to study and learning. Adult education has proved that men can learn and grow intellectually until extreme old age. Every age and every phase of life needs the help of organized skill, intelligence, and experience. Modern progress owes much to that discovery and more rapid progress will follow its full realization. Congratulations for the progress you have made, and the success you have attained. May you continue to study and grow strong, for progress’ sake, even to a ripe old age. Sincerely yours. Thirteen

SUPERINTENDENT GEORGE M. HARRIS Uniontown, Pennsylvania. B. Ph„ Ohio. Northern University. North Union Normal. Bozeman and Missoula. Mont. University of Washington, Seattle. In the fraternity of school men who love the West, and who have proven their allegiance to Montana and her young men and women, Mr. Harris holds an enviable position. He comes a long way to give us his time and talent in developing the younger generation of District 17-H. His enthusiasm for our country helps we who are native and have no standard of comparison to more fully realize the beauty of life around us. The numerous schools of this district are entrusted to his care. Their successful operation speaks for his pride in their direction—their products for his joy in the achievement of others. “To love someone more dearly every day. To help a wandering child to find his way, To ponder o’er a noble thought, and pray— And smile when evening falls. And smile when evening falls, This is my task.” Montana is tremendous—so is District 17-H, and we believe that in Superintendent George M. Harris we have a man to match the country, and the task.

B. J. Kleinhcsst-link J. J. Pin« C. H. Asbury A. H. Roush C. A. Corkins Chairman The Board of Education District: 17-H This community can be justly proud of the citizens who sit upon the Board of Education; proud because they are fulfilling the trust to which they are committed. Theirs is the ultimate responsibility in conducting the schools of District 17-H. In discharging this responsibility they bring to the community between fifty and sixty men and women who work directly in the schools. They expend between $120,000 and $130,000—wisely—each year. They conduct free public education for 1,200 children every day of the school season, maintaining a short summer session also. A unique feature of this board is a code of ethics which welds all internal differences of opinion which may exist, into an external plan of procedure which has the solid unity of every member. This has always resulted in positive action and a splendidly executed program. Miss Juanita Fish is Clerk of the Board. She is a graduate of Montana State College at Bozeman, having been granted the B. S. in Secretarial Science. Acting as Mr. Harris’ secretary, she has won many friends through her cheerfulness, helpfulness and efficiency. Fourteen
