This, too, is our goal; and with the fine staff and the able advisor, I know that this year ' s yearbook will reach that mark. This yearbook is to record the year ' s activities and events in which you, as a part of Northern, have participated. It is also an aim of ours to give to you a book that will serve as a lasting memory of your life at NMC. With the hope that we have accomplished this, I present to you, THE NORTHERNER. A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In last year ' s annual. I wrote about the 25 years of service which Northern has rendered. A number of words were devoted to the philosophy of the school and many more to physical plant improvement and future expansion. I hope, as I dictate this brief message, that by the time it is read much improvement will have become a reality rather than a dream, m- cluding the basic work on the development of an athletic field, the starting of the armory- gymnasium, the men ' s dormitory, and the addition to the automotive mechanics building. I am sure there will be much joy on the campus when some of the projects we have talked about for so long are finally completed. We can have more fun along with our work when adequate facilities are available. Much as we like to see evidence of tangible accomplishments, we need to remind ourselves continuously that there are values in areas which cannot always be reduced to highly-specific things. The constant repetition of certain ideas or concepts is very boring to some people. Yet the poet Goethe observed; All truly wise thoughts have been thought already, thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again -honestly, till they take firm root in our personal experience. Among the wise thoughts which have come to us and have been developed by our own leaders. I would include freedom, the idea that people are important, the ideal of brotherly love under the Fatherhood of God. fair play, and the importance of the appreciation of beauty and the rejection of all that is ugly. Values that endure tend, at first glance, to seem intangible and sometimes impractical; but I assure you they are not. Freedom is difficult to see in tangible things, but it is vital to all of us. The dignity of the human individual was never so important as it is now. The ideal of brotherly love under the Fatherhood of God seems to be our only hope when an H-bomb is able to blow us off the face of the earth. Fair play, good sportsmanship, righteousness have meaning for all of us which can be significant and appreciation of beauty is a comforting ex- perience when so much around us has been made ugly by the negligence or despoliation of man. The study of life values is a continuous one and does not end with the completion of college work. It is our hope here at Northern that students will find encouragement, strength and cultural enrichment as they work diligently at building a life worth living; and we trust, too. that there has been much fun and high adventure during the process.

You had your picture taken, but you ' re not in the book? You ' re a Sophomore and your picture is with the Freshmen! You belong to Western Club, but you ' re not there! These are the people to blame. In the Fall they started calmly and serenely about the business of putting out the annual. By Christmas the serenity was slightly rusty, but all was calm. By February the serenity was gone and the calmness had dark circles under its eyes. By March all was frantic, chaotic; the Editor haggard and tempers short - pictures unidentified - then the wonderful day. All was calm. The annual was on its way to the printer. We hope this year ' s Northerner will provide you with happy memories of your years at Northern Montana College. 30HN ENTORF Photograptiei MR.

BIG SISTERS The Big Sisters organization of Donaldson Hall is a group of Sophomore girls chosen on the basis of character and ability to render personal service. It is composed of twelve Big Sisters and a President. They are responsible for making the first few days of the Freshman girls ' campus life pleasant and cheer- ful. They return to college early and in co-operation with the Donaldson Hall Council make arrangements for the Freshman girls ' first week on the campus. Each Big Sister is assigned a number of little sisters from among the Freshman girls and every new arrival is greeted by her Big Sister, who is ready to help her in every way possible to adjust to the social and academic routine of college life. The Big Sisters continue to operate as a campus organization throughout the year. During January they sponsored a semi-formal dance held in the lounge at Donaldson Hall, captioned The Necking Party. This was one of the major social events on the campus during winter quarter. They also assist the House Council in sponsoring teas and other social functions held at the Hall. Dean Glass is Sponsor of the group. Seated, left to right: Phyllis Bilile, Bill Thackeray, Editor; Beverly Loy.

NO MO CO Under the Editorship of Bill Thackeray and with Mr Haynes as Advisor, the NoMoCo started off the year with an almost entirely new staff. John Entorf, Photographer for the paper took many timely pictures which added much to the news appeal ot the publications. Starting with a comparatively uninitiated staff, the editors at first had difficulty. However, eventually an industrious four or five have devised a process by which the paper is put out bi-monthly with a minimum of effort. The editorial column has included at spaced intervals throughout the year essays explaining the pur- poses of Northern as they appear to individual students. Besides the regular columns which include a sports column, a radio column and a column of criticism, the paper has at frequent intervals published creative works by interested members of the student body. a«hP:!i 5ilK ' f ( Seated, left to right: Doris Blue, Monte Highland, Marilyn Kenney, Auverne Demarest, Lora Traber, Carmen Eblen.

KNOW MONTANA... THE TEACHER WAS NOT FAR BEHIND As the prospectors moved north from gold discoveries at Virginia City and Bannack, building mining camps in gulches and canyons, the professors were not far behind. Education, following the trailblazers, moved into the Butte nnining district in 1865, into Silver Bow, and the next year into Butte. The Pioneers trudged from the Virginia City district where schools had been started in 1863 at Bannock and in 1864 at Virginia City. Unlike the schools in the other early-day mining camps, the first Butte school featured a course in dancing. That came about because the first regular teacher, Colonel Woods, was not only a competent educator, but a cultivated musician. Woods, however, did not teach the first classes in Butte. He was late in getting to the mining camp to fill the assignment and Thomas C. Porter, drawn earlier to Butte by gold, filled in for him. Porter had taught the previous year at Silver Bow. He was experienced, having taught school in Illinois before coming west. The first school in Butte, under Woods and taught during the winter of 1866-1867 had a short term. However, the next year education did get a foothold in a chool opened by Wiliam Haynes. As the prospector settled down, the professor stayed. Mt Modwafd CO.

QUEEN SUE tl ' f pT Ki _ 4,: ■ -JJ P On the night of February 17, Sue Ann Wareberg from Poison, was crowned Queen of Northern Montana College at the semi-formal coronation dance sponsored by Central Board to honor the new queen. The Coronation ceremony was held during the dance. All the contestants wore formals and corsages were provided by Central Board. The Queen ' s attendants preceded her down the aisle to the throne es- corted by members of Central Board; Karol Koehler with Bill Delaney, Beverly Loy with Ed Ellingson, Mona Ness with John Entorf, Barbara Petrini with Bruce Broadus and Donna Simanton with Ernie Swenson. Mavis Peterson, maid of honor, was escorted by Glenn Madsen to the place of honor beside the throne. Then amidst cheers and clapping the new Queen of N. M. C. , Sue Ann Wareberg, a beautiful blond, entered on the arm of Gary Kodalen, Student Body President. After being seated on the throne, she was crowned by Dean Robert Gorman and presented with a bouquet of red roses. As Northern ' s Queen, Sue was honored in various ways throughout the year. Among other things she and her attendants represented N. M. C. on the college float during the Music Festival Parade. jB i jf immjjwn )■ Mm SPRING -r m 1 IN MEMORIAM MR. MAX KUHR Mr. Kuhx was a long-time friend of Northern Montana College. He served with distinction on the local executive board for many years. He came to the campus often to watch it develop and he was particularly interested in our efforts to get grass and trees planted in the barren spaces. The memorial which the college will receive from Mrs. Kuhr and the many friends of Mr. Kuhr to be used for the beautification of the campus is a most appropriate gift in honor of a man who was so keenly interested in the further development of Northern Montana College.
