MRS. MINNIE R. TENNIS Within the records of the Montana State Board of Education is Item 14752. The following resolution was passed at the July 13, 1953 meeting of the board. "Item 14752, Retirement of Mrs. Minnie R. Tennis, Housemother, and Director of Residence Hall, Montana School of Mines RESOLVED, That upon the occasion of the retirement of Mrs. Minnie R. Tennis from her posi ion as Housemother and Director of he Residence Hall at Montana School of Mines, the State Board of Education expresses its appreciation for her great contribution to the life of the institution. She took charge of the Residence Hall when it was first opened in 1935, and has been its skillful and efficient head ever since. Even more important, she has quietly exerted a helpful and constructive influence over the lives of the young men who have lived in the hall. The Board wishes her the best of health and happines ." The crbov= resolution is fitting and proper, but i doss not fully cover the subject. For ei hte n years Mrs. Tennis cared for more than two housand men. This small book could never tell all her d eds, nor could this editor ever be able to adequately express them. The 1954 Magma is respectfully dedica ed to Mrs. Minnie R. Tennis, and we would like to wish he the best of happiness and good luck. We would like to take this opportuni y o welcome Mrs. Gertrude Tait and offer our appreci tion for her first year as Housemother. .DTTOR

OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

1954

To the Readers of "Magma": Here is your annual. Your technical books tend to become less valuable as time goes on, but this one will mean more and more to you throughout the years. It will remind you of hard work -- but more important, it will recall good times and the satisfactions of successful accomplishment. Years after you have left the Campus, this book will be your best and strongest tie to the Montana School of Mines as it was in 1953-54. As you turn its pages years hence and think of the education and friendships you acquired here, think too of the men who have followed you and whose education was, in all possibility, even better than yours -- for the School will continue to develop and improve. You will be joinin5 an alumni group who are unique in that they are most interested in continual progress of our School than in maintainin~ the status quo of their own school duties. Best wishes, and come back often. Sin

Know Montana • • • ORIGIN OF SOME MONTANA NAME'S Helena - According to the Helena Historical directory of 1879 the city of Helena was named by John Somerville for his former home of St. Helena, Minn. It was voted by the early citizens to drop the prefix, Saint. Wibaux - The town was named for Pierre Wibaux, son of a wealthy Parisian silk manufacturer who settled in this area in the 80's. In his heyday, Pierre was the largest cattle operator in the world, owning as many as 65,000 head. Bannack - This pioneer community was named after the Bannock (correct) Indian tribe and became Montana's first city, a boom camp roaring with a o ulation of thousands. Missoula - -The Garden City was named for the broad river that flows through the center of town. The river was named by the Indians, "Miswoula", meaning sparkling water. Three Forks -This town, steeped in historic lore and legend, gets its name from the conver ence of the "three forks," the Gallatin, Madison and Jefferson riv r . Wolf Point - How it was named Great numbers of wolf pelts were eked along the Missouri banks awaiting shipment on early day steamboats to the St. Louis marke. Fort Benton - The name honors an early day champion of fur interests, en tor Thomas Benton of Missouri, and was so named in 1846 by the Americ n Fur Com

ny.

Of all people--- ~ngineers ... know best how much electricity can help on any job, whether it's getting out rock or that term paper. Electricity has done so much to help develop the world since Thomas A. Edison invented the first incandescent bulb 75 years ago. For our part, we have been bringing energy to more and more people at lower and lower cost to them.

Electricity: 12 % below the national average. Natural Gas: 25% below the national average.
