In Retrospect, 1860
lSenior Snapshotsl

While again paging through my
old snapshot album, / stop at the
picture of a small, blue eyed bru-
nette. The mischevious twinkle
dancing in her eyes labels her, more
than any other of her features, as
Ellen Stuhlreiter.
AS I look back at our years in
grade and junior high school, / re-
member Ellen, aided and abetted
by Rosemary Sanders, as sort of
female Katzenjammer kid. The
Stuhlreiter farm, a short distance
from town, was perhaps the most
popular gathering place for Ellen's
many friends. Ellen, however, be-
ing very practical, managed to put
her guests to work, and she once
confided to me that Georgianna
Seims was about the best barn
cleaner in Libby.
In junior high Ellen managed to
secure every mischevious brat role
to be had in our class plays, and |
can still remember the great per-
Torrance she gave as Kerosene,
costarred with Gasoline (Rosemary
Sanders) in our seventh grade play.
In high school Ellen entered into
the full swing Of things by being
elected president of the Home Econ.
Club and the frosh candidate for
Hi-Jinx queen. Besides being a
member of mixed chorus, baton
,twirlers, Tamarack staff, and the
Quill and Scroll society, she was the
secretary treasurer of Peptomists
and Of the mixed chorus. To top
this dazzling array of activities, she
was assistant editor of the Annual
and president of the Girls Club
during her senior year.

overalls, whose hair hung almost

FORUM

For our collection of thoughts and
ideas this week, we will gather the
following on the following. What
is Your Opinion of the School Pa
troll SYSTEM"
Well start by asking one Of those
noble seniors, Ray Erickson, for his
viewpoints.
Il think our School Safety Patrol
has done good job, barring a few
faults, such as the tendency for a
few of them to throw snowballs
once in a while Their work has
stopped a lot of walking and
speeding of cars in the school zone.
All in all, they have done good
job of teaching the grade school
childrena at least, good pedestrian
manners.
Now for a few words from be-
tween the pages of Gordon Fer
guson's solid geometry book:
Il think that it is a good idea,
and it probably prevents many ac-
cidents. But the punishment for
disobedience Of the laws is not
strict enough, because very few Of
the high school students obey them.
In order for anything to be sue
cess, the laws set forth must be
upheld by everyone"
John Friend, after making few
attempts, punched out this:
Il think the patrol is q fine thing.
Since the school safety patrol start
ed, there hasn't been one serious
accident. think the fact that Lib
by's having good patrol gives the
city a better reputation and puts 1t
on higher level in the eyes OF the
highway board in Helena.
Il think we should be more cour-
teous to the school patrolman. He
is always on the job, rain or shine.
Sure, we like to poster and bother
him, but we must remember that he
is on duty to take care OF traffic
and the pedestrian--not for him.
self"
Now for an opinion from one OF
the frosh, Margaret Maize, says:
Il think the School Safety IA
troll is very worth while organiza-
ton. 1t not only makes it safer for
school students, but helps those VINO
serve on it to accustom themselves
to responsibility. 1t is fast becom-
ing an organization Of every schooi,
and ] think the Libby schools should
be proud to have as fine a palroi
as they do" -

Flathead Lake

Peaceful waters, calm and blue
Backgrounded mountains, clear and
true,
Graceful swans and downy duck,
Fishing lazlly, sure of luck.
Sailing boats and light canoes,
Drift on water of swirling blues,
Sunset red on Flathead blue,
Blend together for a perfect view.

This poem was written by our
new student February 7, l94l. on
the part of her journey to Libby
by car which took her on the west
shore of Flathead Lake.

THE STORY OF THE SPIDER
While Mark Twain was editr

While Mark Twain was editor Of
Missouri paper, subscribed
wrote to him saying he had found
spider in his paper and asking
Mark whether this was sign OF
good or bad luck. The following
was the reply of the well-known
humorist
'Old Subscriber Finding a spider
in your paper was neither good
luck nor bad luck for you. The spi-
der was merely. looking over our
paper to see which merchant is not
advertising, SO that he can go to the
store, spin his web across the door
and lead life Of undisturbed peace
ever afterward.'

Chromite has been known for some
years to occur in a belt OF ultra
mafic rocks. composed chiefly Of py-
roXene and Divine, q miles long on
the northeastern margin of the Bear
tooth mountains. The outcrop of these
igneous rocks. which form the lower
part Of the layered saltwater complex,
ranges in width from a quarter of a
mile to mile. Chromite occurs near
the center of it in layers and lenses,
parallel to the layering of the COM
pick, throughout most of the length
Of the belt. Studies made by the Geo
logical Survey and Bureau of Mines
showed that although no high-grade
ore is to be expected, it is clear that
a large tonnage of submarginal ore
can be recovered in time of need. The
chromite bands vary from 2 feet to 80
feet in width and from 430 feet to
1000 or more feet in length. All the
ore is approximately half chromite,
and will need to be concentrated.
