MESSAGE This has been a rather remarkable year. In spite of the hard times our attendance reached a new peak — the highest since 1 34. We have never made a bid tor students from Billings. This is a state institution and not a local one. But without solicitation an unusual number of fine graduates from the local high school have entered this institution and contributed their talents to the enrichment of its life. lsuall when the enrollment is great the number of drones and misfits is large also. I am glad to report that very few students have been dropped for lack of scholarship and that not a single case of discipline has passed my desk. In a material way we have made some gains. I'lu legislature made an adequate, if not generous, appropriation for our support. W e have sufficient funds to match those of the Works Progress Administration for the completion of the Inndsaping on the central part of the campus. But this year, as in other years, the most noticeable feature of our school is the y.eal of our students in preparing themselves to be teachers. Without having it talked into them from the assembly platform they have somehow worked out the conviction that teaching is one of the greatest jobs in the world. The world is restless. Great social changes are imminent. But children continue to be born. If they are rightly taught they should be able to face the future unafraid. I congratulate you upon your opportunity to do this teaching. 1.. b. McMullen.

This is our library, the focal point of the school, where we studied, and sometimes slept, and where we started our spring romances under the ever-present admonition, “Quiet please!”
