Boys State 2012:
Applications and informational brochures are available in the principal’s office for junior male students interested in attending Montana Boys State which is held on the campus of Carroll College in Helena, Montana beginning at 12:00 noon on June 10th through 2:00 P.M. on Friday the 15th of June, 2012.
Deadline for applications to be turned in to the principal’s office is Friday, February 10th, at 4:00 P.M.
Come to the office and pick up an application on the counter. Last year we didn’t have anyone apply or attend, and students missed out on a great opportunity. The fee is paid for by the local American Legion, so there are minimal expenses. It looks great on a resume as well I might add.. It is also a great opportunity for young men to obtain scholarship(s) from various agencies when looking ahead at post high school training or college.
Thanks for your time and consideration in this worthwhile venture and opportunity. Once again, we will be able to have 2 delegates represent Dawson County High School and the Glendive community sponsored by the American Legion Post of Glendive. Pick up an application today!
See Mr. Clausen if you have any questions please.
Girls State 2012:

Deadline for applications to be turned in to the principal’s office is Friday, February 10th, at 4:00 P.M.
Come to the office and pick up an application, they will be on the counter. Last year we had Alysee Charlesworth and Torrie Zander attend, so you could contact them to see how their experience was, and they might be able to answer any questions you might have. The fee of $225 per delegate is paid for by the local American Legion Auxiliary, so there are minimal expenses. It looks great on a resume as well I might add. It is also a super opportunity for young women to obtain a scholarship(s) from various agencies when looking ahead at post high school training or college.
Thanks for your time and consideration in this worthwhile venture and opportunity. We will be able to once again have 3 delegates and an alternate represent Dawson County High School and the Glendive community sponsored by the American Legion Post of Glendive.

Thought for the day: You've got to say, I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough I can have it. It's called perseverance.---- Lee Iacocca
A bit of humor: Some elementary school humor to end the week……enjoy!
TEACHER: Glenn, how do you spell 'crocodile?'
GLENN: K-R-O-K-O-D-I-A-L'
TEACHER: No, that's wrong
GLENN: Maybe it is wrong, but you asked me how I spell it.
TEACHER: John, why are you doing your math multiplication on the floor?
JOHN: You told me to do it without using tables.
I bet you didn’t know; Alright……….we’ll finish up learning about the One-Dollar Bill today………here goes…… The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two
reasons: First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is smart enough to soar above it. Second, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the King of England. Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now stand on its own.
At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you will read, "E Pluribus Unum", meaning, "one nation from many people." Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the thirteen original colonies and any clouds of misunderstanding rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one. Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward the arrows.
They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.
But think about this:
13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the Pyramid,
13 letters in the Latin above,
13 letters in "E Pluribus Unum",
13 stars above the Eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13 fruits,
and if you look closely, 13 arrows.
And, for minorities: the 13th Amendment.
I always ask people, "Why don't you know this?" Your children don't know this, and sometimes their history teachers don't know this. Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning fade. Many veterans remember coming home to an America that didn't care. Too many veterans never came home at all. So, I thought I’d share this information with all of you, so you can learn and identify what is on the back of the UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL and what it stands for. Share this information with others…otherwise, they will probably never know...Have a good weekend, behave, be kind and be safe…..and also…..don’t spend too many of those One Dollar Bills!
