OFFICERS Duke George Vivian Chancellor Jack Bennett Scribe Pete Atkinson Recorder Cam Brown Faculty Advisor Prof. J. G. McCaslin The Copper Guard was first organized on the Montana School of Mines campus in the spring of 1935. In 1937, the Copper Guard was admitted to the Order of Intercollegiate Knights, the national honorary sophomore service organization, of which they were members until the fall of 1958. The Copper Guard is a service organization. Acting in this capacity, the members perform such duties as ushering at school events, serving the picnic lunch and sponsoring the dance during M-Day. At Christmas time, they decorate the trees in front of the dorm. To raise funds, the Copper Guard maintains pop machines in the Coed Coffee Shop and Main Hall, and sells students movie discount tickets. New members are chosen each year by the acting Copper Guards from a list of freshmen students recommended by the faculty. 70

DEBATE The Montana School of Mines forensic squad has an old and impressive record. In the last decade, it has been a frequent winner of the Montana In- tercollegiate Forensic Meet. The squad first rose to prominence under the directorship of Walter T. Scott, now Professor Emeritus. Since that time it has been counted as keen competition, both inside and out-the state. Debate captain this year is Edward Soret, and the Faculty Advisor is Professor Albertson. Left to right: R. Drain, E. Soret. J. Albertson. 71
