HILPERT Co-Editors W Dedication i950 marks the midpoint of a century of tech- nology. This year also marks the end of a period of development in our own school. A period that for the greater proportion of its span has seen the efforts of an engineer-educator whose rofessional career covers this selfsame period. Not the least among his contri- butions to his field as an individual has been the edu- cation of new men to fill the positions of responsibility that are perhaps more inherent to the mineral world than any other. From i907 to l95O, Dr. Francis A. Thomson has devoted the greater share of his time to the training of mineral engineers. The staff of the i950 Magma wishes to dedicate the record of our school's fiftieth year to the one man who personifies the reputation of a mining school that is second to none, our beloved president, Dr. Francis Andrew Thomson.

These have been years of joyful activity, enriched by delightful association with students, colleagues, and staff members alike. One of my greatest satisfactions has been to see green and gawky freshmen develop into nmost potent grave and reverend seniorsnf and then five or ten years later have them return for a visit and to note the lines of responsibility and maturity which are manifest in their faces, their bearing, and their manner. That all who read this may measure up to this picture is my earnest hope. In closing, let me remind you of the adage which I have so often quoted, 'I am a great believer in lucky the harder I work, the more I have of itn. God bless all of you and give you a happy and successful career. Cordially yours, I Francis A. Thomson President FATzR fShakespeare has it Wsigniorsn, but he and Gthello will, I am sure, forgive the liberty I have taken.

C51 MRS. EVA D. ROBINSON and MRS. MARGARET FLEMING Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Fleming are Secretary to the President and Stenagra- pher, respectively. Mrs. Robinson always seems to have a lot of information when- ever some necessary facts are needed. DEAN ARTHUR E. ADAMI Dean Aclami serves the school by acting in the capacity of Vice-President and Dean of College. Although the boys some- times have trouble telling one end of a transit from the other, Dean Adami soon rectifys the mistake in the Sophomore field trip. THE BUSINESS OFFICE W. MILTON BROWN Mr. Brown is Secretary of the Executive Board, Registrar, and Business Manager of the school. Most of us have had a talk with Mr. Brown upon at least one occasion to find out our standing in school. MR. CHARLES ECKBERG MRS. MARY VERBANAC MRS. SOPHIE CLEMENT The office force handles the financial records, school mail and correspondence that keep the school operating. 173 THE LIBRARY THE LIBRARY BUILDING The library building is the showplace of the campus since it houses the museum. The seniors look upon the auditorium with love in their hearts because it means they are really through. I 8 MRS. LORETTA BUSS PECK Mrs. Peck is the guide to the mys- teries of the library, and they are real mysteries occasionally. 9 Three of the boys are really hitting the books, its concentration- plus in the quiet of the library. A quick look in the stacks netted this picture of Higbee Williams doing a little recisearching. The easy chairs in the library are 0 favorite haunt of the students maybe because they double as beds for ci quick nap. CENTRAL TYPI NG STAFF THE BOOKSTORE Mrs. Nile takes care of the students needs for the tools of their trade. If you put in an appearance once in the bookstore, Mrs. Nile knows you for the rest of your college career. A few of the boys find the need pressing for some paper. Mrs. Nile's hobby, when the book- store isn'r rushed, is to make up con- tour maps. GENERAL DEPARTMENTS Chemistry DR. E. G. KOCH Professor of Chemistry DR. K. N.

Two courses, first year basic' for freshmen and first year advanced for juniors, were offered to the Mines AFROTC cadets. Thirty-six basic and ten advanced students formed the first group, with the advanced students acting as officers and non-coms and the basics taking the orders. The Corps was established to prepare selected students for commissions in the Air Force Reserve. The technical training received by engineering students develops those qualigifjis highly desirable in a military leader as well as in the civilian executive. Their backgrbdnd and experience well equips them for the responsibility of directing others in the defense of the country during time of emergency. ln order to fully utilize the substance of the specialized subjects in the engineering cur- ricula,l,School of Mines students are given training by the Department of Air Science and Tactics in .aircraft armament. Maintenance and operation of the complex systems for control of machine gun and cannon fire from high speed aircraft, and the theory and development of electronics and radar bombing equipment are a part of the course. Practical experience and first hand knowledge of the subject are gained at the summer encampment held each year at an Air Force Base. K2ll in R. O. T. C.

The season opener was a practice game against Western at Dillon. The lack of practice and weather gave the lads a tough 13-O loss to the teachers. The opening game in conference play found a full Miner squad in shape to take the Bears 25-O for the top small college conference score of the season. Sensation was Kukay's score on an interception. The loss of key backs was felt as the Mines dropped a heart-breaker to Western, 14-6. The Mines walked over the opposition in statistics, but had ten-yard-line-itis. The Billings Eastern squad made the most of a terrible seven minutes to make three quick touchdowns over an injury-ridden Mines team. The rest of the game was all Mines, but the scoring punch at the opposition 11 was still missing. Renouard made a long runback at the start of the second half, but the jinx held-20-O. The Carroll game was a foregone conclusion with the backfield reduced to made-over ends and tackles. The result was 18-2 with the big Mines line taking a 2-point toll. Basketball The Miners took fourth on a last-of-the-season spurt. The squad looked at a peak in pre-season tourney play in Dillon, taking 2 of 3 for a first place tie. Season and conference standing was another story with iniury and school playing a big part.

Season record: Won 7, lost 13. C 56 1 SPORTS Hockey The Mines Hockey team had a three game schedule with the Copper Kings in Butte, and with the Great Falls VFW Jrs. The Orediggers beat the Copper Kings 8-3, and dropped two tough ones to the VFW 7-5, and 9-6 in Great Falls. The Miners lost second period leads in both cases as o result of poor condition and lack of reserves. Next year promises a big-season gs interest is spreading to the other Montana colleges. The Butte Civic Center will also spur big-time collegiate hockey here at Butte. Until then the lads are keeping the team together and looking to the future. Baseball The big year in Mines baseball came at last, with the Orediggers taking the Small College Conference crown in Billings. The squad met Western at Dillon in practice games, losing close ones 8-7 and l l-6. Carroll lost in Helena by a 6-5 count. Mines split a home series with Western 5-l, and then lost 6-3. The Conference meet saw the Miners in a bye in the opening round, then winning over Rocky Mountain by 8-4 and over Northern in the finals by l7-9. Four-year-man Reynolds had a 4-O record, with credit for all of the Orediggers wins in his pitching arm. Jack Gentry provided the batting spark, with Lee giving a top-notch catching job. The Magma gives the sports honors of the year to the whole baseball squad and Coach Cullen. Minor Sports P. K. Dos led the Miners to the Conference Tennis crown by taking the singles honors in straight sets, then teaming up with Tom Walker, the two took the doubles in the some efficient manner, straight sets. The golfers, Siegel and Price, got third and second respectively. Their team score was low for the meet. Track Lack of condition and the hottest competition in years from a one-man team robbed the Miners of a money spot in the conference meet ot Billings. Western's McMahon was the whale show in what are usually the Oredigger's spots. He took 23 points for a new individual mark :ind beat the second place squad by two points. Northern had 2l, Carroll, Eastern and the Mines followed. l57J BASKETBALL Ili?

The Sigma Rho fraternity functions as a social unit, a source of entertainment, to its college members. Like other large organizations, Sigma Rho requires its pledges to serve a rigorous pledge period which culminates in a Hell-for-leather informal initiation. Social functions include: The fall barn dance: an all-or-nothing-at-all, the winter party, the winter and spring formal initiation dances, during which the pledges take the secret oath of allegiance. i75I Q7 44865- I ' ' SIGMA RHO AT PLAY ' l ill I ' -' - T T' ACTIVITIES Theta Tau Engineering Fraternity Back row: Rochefort, Anderson, Ingersoll, Presley,'Monuel, Novak, Grimes, Vorell, Douglas, Levandowski, Banta.

Montana's History ls Unique Not many states can boast of as interesting a pedigree as does Montana Montana's United States history dates from April 30, 1803, when Louisiana was purchased from France. Louisiana of that day included the vast area stretching west from the Mississippi river to the Continental Divide. Four-sixths of what is now Montana was twice owned by France, once owned by Spain, was at various times part ot six territories as follows: Louisiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Dakota, Idaho and Montana. In 1806, two-sixths of Montana was claimed by three nations--England, Spain and Russia. The United States title to the area now embracing Oregon, Washington, Idaho and a part of Montana, was not established until 1846. Two-sixths of Montana was at one time part of Oregon country. In succession, it became part ofthe following territories: Washington, Idaho and Montana. The territory of Montana was organized in 1865 and statehood was acquired in 1889. Montana is the third largest state in the union. Rightfully called the Treasure State, Montana is exceptionally rich in natural resourses.
