President Koch . H l Many things are not apparent among these pages: our years of attending classes, the energies consumed in prepara- tion for them, and many other experiences (both pleasant and unpleasant). What we do see are images of those who shared our work and our play, some of whom v ill be our life - long friends because of such association; and through this picture story we will be reminded in years to come of many people, situations, and experiences which would otherwise be lost to us forever. The year 1958-59 has been a good year at MSM. Let us look forward to even greater co-ordination and accomplishment in the future. To the seniors we extend our warmest regards for happiness and success. Montana School of Mines will go with you throughout your future years.

Dedication c»xr s. j Dr. Nile IS a quiet, iiuassiimiiu man who joijicd the M.S.M. faculty in 1944. He wiU Joiuj be renu nihered by those students fortunate enouc h to liaz ' c studied under him. Many iviU recall his high academic standard, his iutensiTC and thorough preparation of lectures, his jokes, ami his friendly smile and greeting around the camfiis. All z . ' ill recall his gen- uinely cealous interest in the student. Morci ' cr, this interest is both tangible and intangible. It is tangible in personal counseling sessions as zvell as in the class- room. His erudition is not used to impress the student but rather to guide him through the intneaeies of subjects zehicli are fundamental to an engineer. His influence and impact are in- tangible, in that they are not alzi ' ays e.rpressly implied, but in that they are both acadeiiiically and spiritually felt and strongly sensed by his . tudents. To you. Dr. Xile. this year ' s MAGMA is humbly dedicated in behalf of those students zehom you liaz ' c aided, adz ' ised. and befriended . and in recognition of your unselfish contributions to the student, to M.S.M., and to the community. To you the terms educator and friend can be applied in the fullest connotation. Alay your future years be filled zvitli continued success and happiness.

Dean McAuliffe Faculty and student cooperation has been notable during the past year and class work and activities have proceeded very satisfactorily. With improvements here and there, an increasing seriousness of purpose has been evident. All together, we have had a splended year of association and I want to commend the seniors for their cooperation in making it so. Montana School of Mines has already provided you with an essential part of your training. The organizations which many of you will now join are prepared to aid in your profes- sional development. As you commence on another road, no matter where that road may lead, I wish you good luck and much happiness along the way.
