kindness and patient bearing with us it is made possible for us to receive our diplomas and enter our life work well prepared. By the examples set by you we have been made nobler men and women, we have learned to care only for what is good and pure, our aspirations are higher and our ideals more lofty. You have helped us over the rough paths, you have aided us in con- quering the obstacles that beset our way and we are better strengthened for the future life. To THE STUDENTS.-There are many here who will return next year, perhaps some who will not. But to all, we hope you will always show your loyalty to this school. Through your influence will depend much of the growth of this school in future years. The institution was really not prepared to open this year, but think of the sacrifices made by the ones in charge. Think how they are giving their very lives to build up and strengthen it, and speak good of it always. CLASSMATES.-To you I give the closing word-farewell. It is hard to realize the part- ing day has come. At this moment there are two impressions on our mind-memory of the past and hope for the future. The past is slow- ly fading from our eyes and we see taking its place the future. We each have our different ambitions, our different ideals. We have built air-castles, we have dreamed our drea.ns-will they prove to be a reality? Let us always keep in our minds the training we have received here. Not only the training of our hand and mind, but the training of the heart. Our path may seem easy to climb, but as we go up and up we will often be met with tempta- tions. Perhaps it will seem life is not worth think of the while, but stop for a moment to hours spent here in school and you will be better strengthened to meet the foe. Let us always be true to the have been ever before us during our short life at the Polytechnic. Farewell class of 'l0. ideals which Faculty of the Polytechnic LEXYIS T. EATON, M.

When Bill Went io the Polytechnic ,fBy ELMER C. ADAMS Illustrated .By C. E. .fBaira7 44 ELLO, what's this? With an exclamation of surprise Far- mer John Brown turned up the wick in his lamp to get a better view of the paper he was reading, bent his head closer to the fine print and read aloud: A number of the business men of Billings and vicinity have united and contributed a large sum for promoting and establishing a school for western boys and girls there. The need of such an institution in this section has long been apparent and its establishment will give our young folks an opportunity to attend a college equal to those in eastern states without leaving good old Montana. Every parent should be in- terested in this announcement for the welfare of the coming generation depends largely on the parents of today and the future of the country depends upon what they make the coming gen- eration. It is expected the school will be ready for enrollment early next fallf, Concluding Farmer Brown straightened his bent shoulders, permitted the paper to slowly drop from his grasp, and removing his glasses, pushed his fingers back and forth through his hair for some minutes, apparently in a perplexed study. Mary, his good wife, had remained silent during his reading the announcement of the for- mation of the Polytechnic. ul wonder who has the nerve to start an institution of that sort out here among the sheep camps and coyotes, remarked Farmer Brown, breaking the silence. '6Why, this country was never meant for anything but wild animals, out- laws and sheep herders, and, I'll venture the suggestion that it will be a mighty slim affair- that big school businessf, Well, John, commented his wife, you should remember that all countries were once new and without schools: and yet, in the east now they are as thick as the sheep camps out here, and, I see no reason why as great a section as this could not afford at least one, if the promotors will only stick to itf' f 5'Yes, I suppose they can do as much as start it anyway, if they have enough moneyf' he re- plied,', but I donit intend they shall get any of mine with which to experimentfl 'sl noticef, said his wife, that the paper says the school will be ready for enrollment next fall. ln the meantime I think we had better watch the papers for news about it and if it proves a success, I think it would be a good place to send our son William.', The old rancher lighted his pipe, settled him- self in his d-eep chair and resumed reading, thus for the time closing the controversy. Their son Vfilliam had heard the conversa- tion in his room and he began to think of the possibilities of going to college. A college education. Creeln he commented to himself. Cieel Wouldnlt it be great, herding sheep with that junk in my head. I've seen some of those college kids with wheels in their heads. ' , -.-,g -Vx ' l ,-- 'M -5 N ii. 57 iffizifqiltafga- '- -..
