OMETHVIES a ranch gets hands that always seem to think the grass is greener over the fence and sorta pick fault with their home outfit. A few of us here on our college ranch are the same way. Let's stop for a moment and really see what we have to offer here at our college. Looking north from the college library, We see hello walk winding up the hill. Looming up in the distance, the Bridger Mountains with pine clad, snow capped peaks tower above the college campus. Behind us lies the dramatic history of the west. Here on the edge of the fertile Gallatin Valley overlooking the historic little city of Bozeman, We realize the true western mountain atmosphere in our college life. Here the first herd of cattle trailed in from Texas was wintered. Here Lewis and Clark passed 'through in 1806i blazing the trail into this great Northwest. Through here John Bozeman laid out the Bozeman Trail in 1863 and was later killed by Indians not many miles from the college campus. We have much tradition here on our campus today. Perhaps our college is not as old' as many but our historic past and surroundings today have given us much that we take for granted. We are products of this western country sure, and we should be proud of it. Here in the heart of the dude ranch country with many cattle ranches, is an atmosphere chucked full of so many 'outstanding advan- tages. We've some of the finest scenery in the world. Our mountains streams abundant with trout. Our healthy environment for sports of all kinds. All of this is right at our .door step. WVe've been raised up in it and its ours. Something that money can't buy and we should feel that here in our college with its setting and administration, we have tradition. Sittin' on the corral fence finding fault with an outfit is bad punchin' pardnerg let's be Mon- tanans, it's a mighty fine range. f- Qs 1 1 nz ,. ,aff Safes. as ft fa Jygllllrat-QQEJ-or X get K ,J L f' A 1 K 4-159' 7 ig? its?-Tfgsl 51174 H-flag We at 'al'w?2?h' Qafffiia A22 lf' are f ,sg ,122-5-:S 2 l ,L L. .-iz-f , .-,gre 1.q..:-f' L.,-, ,re '51 -.? :.:'-'- ..: af?-

'Bite lfooonmm livery ranch has its bosses. They plan the -ranch work and solve the problems that the outfits run up against every once in awhile. VVe've been mighty lucky in getting some mighty fine bosses here on our outfit. 'Effie lslozrtdw The backbone of a ranch is its hands. The students here on the campus are the hands. of our college outfit. VVe sorta herd them into different classes and call them tenderfeet, wran- glers, waddies, and top hands. Yo unkhcawm, A lot of the hands get together and kinda group up on the ranch. They do it here in our college outfit for that matter and as a result we have our fraternities and sororities and organized groups. . 1' g . .Q ' A 0 ji' .

Weive a lot of activities that do a heap toward helping the home ranch just as the cowboy rides the range. Yitufsilow, Looking at our groups that we've formed on the home ranch here on the campus We've stacked up a considerable bunch of hands that most ranches term as rustlers. Rustling out in their various activities they give us our organizations. Clbtourtdliiuz ma Along about evening time the cowhands sorta gather around the old campfire and likewise our college men and women break away from the usual hawg tied run of things to enjoy activities entirely apart from the old home outfit.
