A Message From the President In the future as you look back over the years you will have a wide choice of memories. Some of these might be a trip to Los Angeles, a trip to Kansas City, the new buildings on the campus, your grade in Humanities. You cannot now know which of your experiences here at Western will be important to your future. Therefore, let us not minimize any of them. We should rightfully assume that you are a better person for having been here—we hope Western is a better place because you were here. Ranted £. Short PRESIDENT JAMES E. SHORT (5)

DEDICATION The year 1957-58 has brought many improvements to Westerern Montana College. The building program has been completed. Activities which promise to become traditions have been introduced. Even more important, there has been an increased friendliness among students and faculty. Not one of these would have been possible without the encouragement, help, and approval of Western's hard-working President. With sincere gratitude for the work he has done this year for Western, the 1958 Chinook staff proudly dedicates this book to Dr. James E. Short, our President. We earnestly hope that under his leadership and guidance, Western will continue to grow in the future as it has this year.

CAMPUS COMMUNITY CENTER From now on Western's new College Union will be the center of extra-curricular, recreational, and social life on the campus. For many years students will enjoy the spacious lounge with its beautiful fireplace. The large ballroom will be the scene of many dances sponsored by campus organizations. The snack bar will always be a congregating place for students and faculty. The book store, recreation, music and reading rooms, student and faculty organization meeting rooms, and other fine facilities make Western's College Union truly a college ''living room.'' (6)
